Actually…
Other than the two points, Liu Xuan had a deeper purpose for trading with the Xianbei people.
Once this goal was achieved, it would completely change the structure of the grasslands and cause the northern border to no longer have any wars.
Of course.
The war here referred to the invasion and looting of the Central Plains by the Xianbei people every winter.
As for the wars between the grassland tribes, Liu Xuan could not care less.
To be precise, it was not that he could not care, but that he did not want to care. He might even add fuel to the fire!
Liu Xuan's plan was to first find a few large Xianbei tribes in the north and use food to trade with them for fur and horses.
At the same time.
He said that he could buy as much fur as they had.
On the grasslands, what was most lacking was food, and what was least lacking was fur.
After all, the people of the grasslands reared all kinds of sheep and horses.
The various tribes on the grassland must have accumulated a lot of fur after so many years.
The Prairies people would hesitate to trade grain for horses, but they would not hesitate to trade grain for fur.
They were happy to exchange some useless furs for food, so how could they object?
Once the first deal was made, the large tribes would definitely take the initiative to make a second deal after tasting the benefits.
After the second time, there would be a third time.
In the long run, the fur that the large tribes had accumulated over the past decades would definitely be consumed.
At this moment.
They would raise a large number of sheep, hoping to use a large number of furs to exchange for more food with Liu Xuan in the future.
However!
The growth of a flock of sheep required time.
It was impossible for the sheep to grow up in a short period of time, one or two years.
At this moment.
The big tribes, who were used to exchanging fur for food with Liu Xuan, would naturally turn their attention to the small tribes around them.
Although there was an unwritten rule in the grasslands that large tribes could not attack and annex small tribes at will, it was still unwritten!
At this moment, Liu Xuan only needed to send someone to instigate the leaders of the large tribes and say that he needed a large number of furs and was willing to buy them at a price higher than before. These large tribes would definitely make a move on the small tribes.
When they easily destroyed a small tribe and obtained the fur that the small tribe had accumulated for several years or even decades, they would want more after exchanging it for a large amount of food from Liu Xuan!!
Therefore, they would attack the second small tribe ruthlessly.
One after another.
Before long, the entire grassland would descend into madness.
The big tribes slaughtered and annexed the small tribes.
As a result, the strength of the entire grassland would plummet.
This was an open scheme!
At this point, even if the large tribes reacted, they could not stop.
Because they could not guarantee that when they stopped, the other tribes would also stop.
In order to get as much food from Liu Xuan as possible, and to prevent the other big tribes from taking away the small tribes 'savings, they could only attack the small tribes more and more crazily.
Furthermore!
In order to successfully exchange fur for food from Liu Xuan, their attitude towards Liu Xuan would become more and more respectful. In the end, they might even bow down to him!
An open scheme!
This was a completely open scheme, a scheme that the Xianbei people could not refuse.
From the moment they agreed to exchange fur for food with Liu Xuan, their fate was already decided.
When Jian Yong and Tian Chou heard Liu Xuan's plan, they were stunned for a long time before they recovered.
Jian Yong stood up excitedly, indicating that he was willing to set off immediately to the grassland to convince the leaders of the large tribes.
Liu Xuan acknowledged Jian Yong's eloquence.
After all, according to the historical records, Jian Yong had used his glib tongue to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, causing Liu Zhang to open the city gates and follow Jian Yong out of the city in a carriage to surrender to Liu Bei.
As expected.
In less than ten days, Jian Yong sent someone to deliver good news.
He successfully met with the leaders of three large Xianbei tribes with a population of about 80,000 to 90,000 and convinced them.
After that.
A grand transaction began.
It had to be said.
This kind of large Xianbei tribe really had a lot of fur.
In the end.
The deal lasted for a whole month before it ended.
In this transaction, Liu Xuan spent a total of 500,000 dan of grain and obtained 360,000 pieces of fur from the Xianbei people.
After ending this transaction, Liu Xuan even specially got Jian Yong to tell those people from the large tribes that they would continue to hold this kind of transaction next year.
Hearing Jian Yong's words, the large Xianbei tribes all smiled brightly, patting their chests and promising that they would definitely prepare more furs to trade in the coming year.
Jian Yong took advantage of the Xianbei people's excitement to suggest buying horses.
The Xianbei people were actually unwilling to do so because horses were different from cows and sheep. They were of great strategic importance to them.
However!
They were worried that their unwillingness to sell the horses would anger Liu Xuan, which would affect the fur-for-grain business in the coming year.
That's why.
The horse that Liu Xuan had been thinking about for a long time was finally in his hands.
A total of five thousand horses.
