    "Call!"

    The leader, a red-faced man with short braids and a sheepskin coat, stopped his horse skillfully.

    "Mr. Gong, is it you again this time?" The red-faced man said with some regret, "I haven't seen Mr. Leng in two years!"

    "General Manager Leng is getting older and it will be difficult to come back." Gong Chuxin said with a smile: "If you have the opportunity to go to the Imperial Palace because of the big leader, he will definitely entertain you with the best spirits and the hottest food!  "

    "I wish I had that blessing!"

    The red-faced man laughed and looked up at the hundreds of large cars, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

    Now every winter, we have to rely on various goods from Yiwang Mansion to survive the winter smoothly.

    Although they lost many excellent horses, they were definitely lucky enough compared to those tribes that suffered frostbite and killed a large number of people and livestock due to lack of food and clothing.

    This red-faced man is called Huo Quba, and he is the leader of the Zhaleng tribe, one of the two largest tribes in the alliance of small tribes.

    The system of these small tribes in the northwest is very primitive. Each tribe is divided into a big leader and a small leader. The big leader has the strongest strength and is in charge of the overall situation. The small leader is in charge of hundreds or thousands of herdsmen under his own account.

    Then there are also some elders who participate in the discussion. They preside over sacrifices and mediate conflicts on weekdays. The three of them form the main upper echelon of the tribe.

    In all the grassland tribal kingdoms, including Uighur, Shiwei, Xiqiang and Shiwei, their most powerful person must be a strong man, usually no more than sixty years old. The younger the tribal leader, the younger the age.

    Because old people will lose their courage and momentum and will be unable to lead the tribe forward.

    For example, Huo Quba is only thirty-two years old this year, at the time when a man's physical strength and energy are at their strongest. He was the new leader of the Zhaleng tribe at that time, and against all opinions, he decided to secretly trade horses with Prince Yi's Mansion.  With today these small tribes are living a good life.

    The steward Leng who he negotiated with back then was none other than Leng Yuan, the steward of Yiwang Mansion who was persistent in exploring this market.

    However, after so many years, Leng Yuan is already fifty-three years old this year. Years of fighting in the northwest and sleeping in the open have made his body very weak. King Yi banned him from coming to the northwest again last year, and instead kept him as a pawn.  Deputy Gong Chuxin.

    Leng Yuan was promoted to the chief manager of Prince Yi's Mansion five years ago, and Gong Chuxin was promoted to the second manager. Both of them were in harmony with each other in Prince Yi's Mansion. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have to work hard in such a place.

    It lasted at least two or three months, and it was still freezing cold. This kind of pain was very painful.

    But there is nothing we can do about it. The exchange of horses is an absolute secret. Once discovered by outsiders and spread to the ears of the Uighurs, these dozen or so small tribes will have no choice but to wait for them to be slaughtered except to defect to the Dakang.

    There is no problem for small tribes to take refuge in Dakang. Dakang can support such a group of people, but the problem is that without their horse herding environment, where will Dakang replenish its fine horses?

    So first of all, these small tribes are very cautious. Unless Leng Yuan leads the team, they will not come out to greet other caravans at all, let alone talk about selling horses.

    Gong Chuxin also followed Leng Yuan for three consecutive years, and Leng Yuan personally introduced and explained that he could inherit Leng Yuan's position.

    Similarly, Dakang is also very cautious.

    The caravan of Prince Yi's Mansion usually has a size of more than 2,000 people, but it is definitely not ordinary palace guards and servants. They are all tough and strong men.

    The main body is composed of 400 Qianniu Guards and 1,600 Yulin Guards. Their weapons alone fill more than 30 carriages.

    On the one hand, it is for your own safety, as you are afraid of being eaten by other wandering horse thieves.

    On the other hand, when encountering a situation, they can take the initiative to prevent the leakage of information.

    Another one is to send two of the emperor's closest guards to the forbidden army, and they can block the news as much as possible so that no one outside will know.

    In addition to sending elite troops to escort them all the way, on the way back, they will not go back to Tongde Mansion, which is a crowded place, but will go further down, from the more remote Maze City into the realm of Dakang.

    The terrain of Maze City is not good. There are barren mountains everywhere. The terrain is relatively steep and there is not much oil and water. Even the tribes in the western plateau will not rob this area, so it is relatively safe.

    ¡­¡­

    "Why does it seem like there are a lot more goods this time?"?The goods arrived at the Zaleng tribe¡¯s settlement here.

    ¡°Everyone¡¯s life is much better now than before!¡±

    Looking at the bonfire not far away and the densely packed yurts, Gong Chuxin said with emotion.

    "Isn't it thanks to Prince Tuoyi?" Huo Quba smiled, "In the past seven or eight years, not only did our tribe not starve to death in the winter, but we also had more cubs, and more of them survived and grew into adults.  . With more people, life will naturally become easier!"

    What Huo Quba said is a fallacy.

    Having too many people on the grassland is actually not a good thing, because it means consuming a lot of resources.

    Unless you continue to rob and plunder, the more people there are, the heavier the burden will be.

    However, these small tribes also urgently need more people.

    ¡°Only when there are more people can they protect themselves, survive the most difficult step, not be bullied, and be able to bully others in ten or twenty years.

    Normally, if they don¡¯t have too many resources, let alone deliberately increase the population, even if they don¡¯t want to reduce the population, it won¡¯t work.

    Because of the various harsh environments on the grassland, especially the cold winter when food is scarce, it is a natural killer of humans.

    It is too common for a tribe to lose one-tenth of its population after a winter, and it is not unheard of for a tribe to disappear altogether.

    It¡¯s good now. The large amount of food provided by Yiwang Mansion every year allows the herdsmen to eat and drink in winter. At least they will not starve to death and the population will not be reduced.

    In winter, you can do things as long as you have food to eat.

    Women become pregnant in winter and give birth to children in summer and autumn, increasing the population of the tribe Year after year, doesn't the population increase?  Isn¡¯t it powerful?

    So, Huo Quba just said something to thank King Yi for his blessing.

    A group of big leaders nearby also nodded, obviously feeling the same way.

    Gong Chuxin smiled and raised his voice: "Then you will be even more blessed this time! I have brought you some good things that you have never seen before. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

    "General Manager Gong, what is it?" Julu Dayong, the leader of the Dayue Clan, asked eagerly.

    "Haha, let's eat, drink and have fun today, then let's talk about business tomorrow!"

    Gong Chuxin did not answer, but smiled and galloped forward.

    Huo Quba and others hurriedly followed, and the empty wilderness echoed with their equally happy and expectant laughter (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
