Xiao Ji looked a little disappointed, shook his head and said: "Hu people are not fake, the court also tried to sell wine to Hu people, but they dislike the wine brewed by our Daning is too weak, they prefer to drink wine from the Western Regions. Spirits. As for tea, I have never heard that Hu people like to drink tea. They are all rough people, and they probably can't taste the elegance of tea."

Of course Xiao Jie knew why Hu people liked to drink strong wine, because it was very cold in Mobei in winter, and drinking strong wine could warm up the body.

As for tea, it was not until the Tang and Song dynasties that nomads in the north began to drink tea, and there was a huge demand for it. Later, there was a saying that there was a tea-horse trade, that is, nomads were willing to exchange horses for tea from the Central Plains.

Because the daily diet of nomads is mainly beef and mutton, drinking tea can relieve greasy, which is also very good for their health.

And the Dihu people in this book have not yet learned how to drink tea, which is simply a business opportunity that fell from the sky for Xiao Jie.

"I dare not lie to my father. That expert not only taught me martial arts, but also taught me a special method of brewing wine. The brewed wine is guaranteed to be stronger than that of the Western Regions. It is just right to sell it to the barbarians. suitable."

"As for tea, we in Daning don't need Hu people to like tea. We just need to find a way to let them know that they must drink tea. Hu people are full of beef and mutton every day. Drinking more tea can help them relieve their boredom. Sooner or later, you will be addicted to tea."

Xiao Ji's heart couldn't help but think back to himself, indeed every time he drinks a cup of tea after a meal, he feels much refreshed.

Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Jie, feeling gratified and curious, how did his son come up with the idea of ​​selling tea to the barbarians.

I don't know how many surprises this son can give me...

……

The banquet is still going on, playing music and dancing...

All the guests exchanged cups and cups, they were very happy, after all, in the competition just now, His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Qi Wang won a complete victory, and they gave Daning a face.

But Helian Ba ​​and Ono Tu's expressions were gloomy throughout the whole process, and Helian Tuo's expression was also a little embarrassed. He probably wished that the banquet would end now, so as not to continue to embarrass himself here.

They came to the Central Plains to ask the emperor of the Ning Dynasty to open the border market, but they did not expect that not only did this matter fail to be negotiated, but now their Dihu actually bowed their heads to Daning, and how they would explain to Khan when they went back.

Xiao Ji saw everything in his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said to the three of them: "Just now, the king of Qi advised me that since Dihu bowed his head to Daning from now on, the people of Dihu will also be my people, so naturally they should Having enjoyed my favor, I deeply appreciate it, and I am willing to open up the mutual market, so that the outside of the Great Wall and our Central Plains can exchange what we have."

All the people in the hall looked at Xiao Jie in unison for an instant, and they were speechless except for doubts.

Didn't we, Daning, win? Why did we agree to the request of the barbarian? Where are you, Prince Qi?

Xiao Huang frowned slightly, he always felt that things were not simple.

The three of Helian Ba ​​also showed joy in their eyes. Originally, the matter of opening up the border trade market was already a waste of time because their brothers lost the competition, but they did not expect that the emperor of the Ning Dynasty followed the advice of King Qi and offered to open the trade market. For them, there is no doubt It's great news.

From this point of view, it is not so unacceptable to bow down to Daning. Although Di Hu lost face, he also gained benefits.

Ono pressed his right hand on his chest, and bowed deeply: "On behalf of Khan, there are tens of thousands of Dihu people, thank you His Majesty Daning for your kindness."

Xiao Ji smiled slightly, and said: "If you want to thank, you can thank King Qi. I also decided to open the border cross market after listening to his advice."

Da Yetu put his hand on his chest again, turned around and bowed solemnly to Xiao Jie: "I am on behalf of Khan and there are tens of thousands of Dihu people, thank you His Highness King Qi. If His Highness can come to Mobei someday, it will be us The most honorable guest in the entire Dihu."

Xiao Jie was very speechless, I kindly begged you Di Hu for grace, but you old boy actually set me up.

"The deputy prime minister's words are wrong. Everything is due to my father's grace, so he should be your Dihu's most honored guest."

Xiao Ji's face was calm, but he secretly laughed in his heart. His son's desire to survive is quite strong.

He Liantai walked up to Xiao Jie without saying a word, and everyone in the hall looked at them in bewilderment.

He Liantai directly untied a gold dagger studded with precious stones from his waist, handed it to Xiao Jie with both hands, and said: "We Dihu people are never willing to owe others favors, since His Royal Highness King Qi has kindness to us Dihu, this The golden dagger is my beloved, and it should be a thank you gift from Helian Tai."

Xiao Jie shook his head. People who attended the banquet wore armor and daggers. Are you Dihu people so arrogant?

But he didn't expect Helian Tai to be so forthright, and to give away such a valuable dagger as soon as he said it.

Xiao Jie shook his head: "We Han people have a saying, 'A gentleman does not take away a man's love'. Since this dagger is the eldest prince's favorite thing, how dare I take it away."

Hearing these words, other people only felt that King Qi was really a modest and gentle gentleman, but Xiao Huang felt a rush of blood...

"In the eyes of you Han people, this dagger may be precious, but in the eyes of us Dihu people, only cattle, sheep, horses and friends are the most valuable. Not only did you beat me in archery, but you also helped us get grace from Dihu, you He is my friend of He Liantai, if you don't accept me, you will look down on me, He Liantai."

Xiao Jie knew that the vagrants feared the strong and paid attention to repaying favors, if he didn't accept them, he would make the other party unhappy.

Having said all this, Xiao Jie didn't refuse any more, and took the dagger with both hands, which was extremely heavy, presumably it should be made of pure gold, not to mention the colorful gemstones inlaid on it, presumably it must be worth a lot .

Xiao Jie laughed and said: "We Han people pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity. Today the eldest prince gave me such a valuable gift, so I naturally want to return the eldest prince a generous gift. If the eldest prince does not despise it, you might as well come to my house as a guest in the future. I will prepare a gift for the eldest prince, and I guarantee that the eldest prince will like it."

He Liantai is also a bold person, he laughed and said: "Okay, it's a deal, I will definitely visit some other day."

A banquet finally ended with laughter, singing, and dancing, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves...
