This thin man is actually a trade representative of a border trading company in the Qin State. He was hired to do business because of his strong rhetorical skills. Moreover, this man's learning ability is extremely strong. Since in just a few months,

He learned the Xiongnu language within a short period of time, and his linguistic advantage was subsequently brought into play.

When the Qin State strictly prohibited border trade, he began to secretly sneak into the territory of the Xiongnu and started doing business with several Xiongnu tribes on the border. At first, using the support of powerful weapons in his hands, such as muskets, they successfully opened the door.

market.

The strength of the Huns lies in their horsemanship and worship of violence. However, the Huns who have retreated to Mobei have been beaten to the bitter cold land in the north by the Qin army. The situation of the Huns is very unfavorable. This is not good for them.

, very dangerous. But at this time, the people of Qin actually came to do business with them, and they were naturally willing to trade with them. The materials exchanged between the two sides can be said to be very unequal.

The Huns exchanged a certain amount of horses and some slaves. What they got were muskets. Later, a large amount of wood and various things that the Huns considered to be medicinal materials. What they got in exchange were still muskets. With muskets. This

The strength of the tribe has increased a lot. It can be said that the Huns have benefited greatly from border trade. However, Qin's vision is different.

The goals of the Qin people are obviously longer-term. But what they don't know is that these thin Chinese people are not Qin people. They are Qin people from the six eastern countries. However, among these new Qin people, there are also many elites. These elites are from the six countries.

businessman.

"Sir, our business has been losing money, or our profit is too little." The thin man's servant said worriedly at this time.

"These are not things you can worry about." The thin man said with a smile.

And these businessmen from the six countries had bigger plans. After contacting the Xiongnu tribe, they found that the situation of the Xiongnu tribe was already very bad. And it was an established fact.

The Xiongnu tribe was in the bitter cold land north of the desert and near the North Sea. The grassland vegetation here was extremely scarce and the climate was harsh. The Qin army carried out a dense blockade of them, using fortifications built with barbed wire and mines. These fortifications were more than

The Great Wall was even more powerful, and it was impossible for the Huns, whose main force was cavalry, to go south. And they were trapped alive in this bitter and cold place.

Regarding the situation of the Huns, after some contact, these merchants have understood the situation of the Huns. They no longer have many resources to trade with themselves. Although the expansion of border trade can allow more people to enter, at this time, the Huns

The resources of the Huns are already very few. Moreover, the advantageous resources of the Huns have also become disadvantages. For example, war horses. The horses fed by the Qin people with pasture and grain are more sophisticated and there are many in number, while the Xiongnu

Because people have lost the role of natural pasture, their horses are already in a lower condition than Qin's horses. This is why Qin can equip a large number of cavalry in an instant, but the Huns cannot gather them in an extreme time and lose mobility.

The superior Huns have already posed very little threat to the Qin State. However, the Qin people still did not relax their vigilance against the Huns. In the eyes of the old Qin people, only dead Huns are the best Huns, otherwise they are enemies.

But these merchants from the six countries did not think so, and they began to make plans. In addition, the Qin State suddenly opened border trade recently. This allowed the merchants from the six countries to tighten their control over the border Xiongnu tribes. In their view, these

The Hun tribes on the border must be controlled,

"This is our big plan, how can we let outsiders know about it?" the thin man thought while warming himself around the stove.

If you want to do business with the Huns, you have to magnify the Huns' advantages. But what advantages the Huns have, there are not many at all. The quality of the horses has dropped a lot. Naturally, they cannot compare with the Qin people. There is no food.

How attractive. Because Qin has no shortage of food.

On the contrary, the Qin people had a lot of supplies, too many to count, and the Huns were short of them, from food, wheat, salt, to daily necessities, iron products, bows and arrows, armor made of leather, stirrups, muskets, and bullets.

There are countless other utensils, but the Huns have nothing to exchange. This is the current dilemma of the Huns.

Even if the Qin State liberalized border trade, and waves of supplies came from the Qin State, when these supplies came, they would find that the Huns had nothing to exchange with them. And these merchants from the six countries had already discovered this.

situation, so they turned their target to the land under the feet of the Huns. They believed that since there were a large amount of iron ores and more rare earth mines under the feet that the Huns occupied before, then now, under their feet

Are there any such minerals?

In order to obtain these resources, these six-nation merchants have already laid out their plans. They have attracted several powerful tribal leaders on the border, given them certain material support, and then slowly encroached on some nearby territory, for example, through purchase and exchange.

They controlled the areas in these areas, and then sent people to prospect and dig for minerals. With the discovery of diamonds, Qin merchants also set their sights on the uninhabited forest area in the north of the Huns. This area is Siberia. It is said that these diamonds come from this

area, savvy businessmen from the six countries naturally targeted this place.

However, they still need something missing. After all, this place is an area controlled by the Huns, and trade is liberalized. However, Qin's military power has not expanded here, and the Qin army's military strength is seriously insufficient in the northern region. These merchants

They were unable to organize their own military force to occupy this area, so cooperation, bribery, and wooing were very correct and the most effective methods at present. This is why they spent so much material to buy off these Huns.

However, the Huns themselves also have big problems. After several defeats, the Huns' cohesion has been very low. In addition, they have suddenly entered a bitter cold land, and there are already deep grievances between the various tribes. In addition, the lack of supplies has led to

War between tribes broke out. Under such circumstances, it became much easier for the Huns to be bribed. This is also where the merchants of the six countries are very smart. They know very well the power of money and the lack of various materials.

The consequences, bribery, is a big business.
