In the past few days at the Lingqiang tribe, Lei Bo did not care about Ma Feng at all.
Lei Ao and Ma Feng were the only ones who were together.
During the day, they would graze at the foot of the mountain.
Lei Bo's family had quite a lot of assets, with more than a thousand sheep and fifty horses.
They should be the richest family in the tribe.
Other families were not so good.
The poorer families could not even afford horses. They could only raise dozens of sheep. They did not even have barren fields. They relied on the money from selling sheepskin to exchange for food.
In the past, when Guanzhong was rich, they could still sell mutton.
The transportation distance was short, and the whole sheep could be sold for money.
But now, it was no longer possible. There were fewer and fewer people in Guanzhong who could afford to eat meat.
Transport to Kanto?
The mutton had become stinky meat before it even arrived.
Mutton was common in the Qiang tribe, but most of it was dried meat.
Good heavens, it was like a disk, and he could take a bite after spending a lot of effort.
The Qiang tribe in Longxi was not the most miserable.
Although there was not much fertile land in Longxi, at least every Qiang tribe had their own land.
Further west, the Qiang people in Jincheng Prefecture and Wuwei Prefecture were even more miserable.
The Qiang people in Longxi could still eat food, but the Qiang people in Jincheng Prefecture could starve to the point of eating grass.
During these few days in the Qiang tribe, Ma Feng had become a child king.
From the teens to the open-crotch pants, they all followed Ma Feng and liked to listen to Ma Feng tell them stories.
Ma Feng could even bring them to play some games that they had never heard of before.
After all, he had lived two lives. Coaxing a child was not difficult for Ma Feng.
Nine days later, Ma Teng returned.
Ma Teng returned to Zhang County very quickly. After all, he was riding a horse, so it was not difficult for him to return even if he was carrying sheepskin.
The transaction was also fast, and Ma Teng knew many merchants.
The main thing was to transport the grain to the tribe. They had to walk on foot, so it was naturally slow.
Lei Bo smiled happily when he saw the carts of food.
Ma Teng was also loyal. He didn't keep much for himself. Most of the money he sold was exchanged for food and transported to the tribe.
Lei Bo was naturally happy that Ma Teng could sell 20% more than the Qiang people.
Don't underestimate this 20%.
The extra food could make the clansmen go from not starving to full.
"Shou Cheng, you've helped the tribe a lot in this matter. We won't have to go hungry anymore.”Lei Bo said with a smile.
"When you go back, don't go back empty. I'll get the clansmen to take out the stock and you can continue to sell it.”
"Of course not. If I can help the tribe with something, I, Ma Teng, will definitely do it.”Ma Teng smiled happily.
After half a day of preparation, Lei Bo took out 10,000 sheepskins and gathered 50 horses, handing them all to Mateng.
"Brother, don't worry. This time, it will take a little longer, but I will definitely return safely.”
"I'm not worried about you, haha…"
"Uncle, why don't I stay here for a few more days?”Ma Feng asked tentatively.
The goods this time were even more valuable. Ma Feng was afraid that Lei Bo would not trust the father and son.
"That's up to you. If you miss home, go back. It's not a problem if you want to stay.”
In fact, the last time Ma Teng had just left, Lei Bo had sent someone to Zhang County to inquire about Ma Teng's reputation.
Ma Teng had a good reputation in Zhang County, so he naturally did not need a so-called hostage.
Ma Feng didn't decline. It wasn't right to play with children all day long here, so he followed Ma Teng back to Zhang County.
"Dad, I don't want to say this, but aren't you giving too much? How much will be left?"
Ma Feng couldn't help but complain on the way back to Zhang County.
Ma Teng had a smug look on his face as he stretched out his palm and said,""We earned five loads of grain and distributed it to our brothers.
This money was really easy to earn. After a round trip, three months of rations came out.”
Ma Feng couldn't help but sigh." Dad, aren't your expectations too low?”
"Alright, you have quite a lot of problems. It's not like you're our thing. Just earn some money to run errands.”
Ma Feng could only shut his mouth. This was Ma Teng's character, and he couldn't persuade him.
It was not a good thing for people to be too smart. Only loyal and righteous people could be more cohesive.
This was Ma Teng's weakness, but it was also his greatest strength.
As a Wanderer, to be able to create a world in such a chaotic world, he naturally had his own personal charm.
Just look at Ma Teng's brothers. As long as Ma Teng said a word, none of them would be ambiguous.
As for how to deal with merchants and how to exchange for food, this had nothing to do with Ma Feng.
After Ma Feng returned to Zhang County, he returned to the rhythm he was familiar with.
……
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, four years had passed.
Ma Feng was already twelve years old, and he was already a seven-foot-tall boy.
Ever since the first transaction with the Qiang people, it did not take long for them to get on the right track.
The business of buying and selling was getting bigger and bigger. All the goods of the Xianling Qiang were handed over to Ma Teng to handle.
In recent years, his living conditions had been getting better and better. Ma Feng's nutrition had also been able to keep up, and his body had already fully expanded.
Two years ago, Ma Teng's family had also moved to Di Dao, Longxi's administrative office.
After all, Zhang County was only a county town. There were few merchants and no large caravans. They could not afford to buy as many goods as the Xianling Qiang.
Therefore, Ma Teng decided to move his family to Di Dao.
Di Dao, as Longxi's governing body, was even wealthier and had more caravans.
Many of them were caravans from the wealthy families in the east of the country. Their purchasing power was quite exaggerated. They could buy as much as they could. As long as the quality was guaranteed, they would pay a higher price.
Of course, moving to Di Dao was not a smooth journey.
This was because Ma Teng had touched on the business of the Di Dao clan.
This was equivalent to stealing other people's rice bowls. Naturally, he would not tolerate Ma Teng's family.
However, Ma Teng was not a weakling. He had brought nearly 500 people from Zhang County, all of whom were servants ordered by Wei Mateng.
The two sides had even fought many times.
Ma Teng relied on his horse and the saber in his hand to stop Di Dao.
The soft ones were afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones were afraid of the dumb ones, and the dumb ones were afraid of the reckless ones.
And Ma Teng was that reckless Wanderer who led 500 reckless Wanderers…
Today, four years later, the Ma Clan had become one of Di Dao's greatest clans.
Even Longxi's prefect had to be polite when he saw Ma Teng and didn't dare to neglect him.
As for the Mateng brothers, they had gone from 200 to 500, and now they had nearly 2,000.
The rapid development of the faction shocked the entire Di Dao.
