Saladin''s eyes brightened when he proposed trade. What he had just discussed with the tribal leaders was the matter of plundering the Roland empire.


    This kind of action occurs almost every autumn. Grassland people only test their cattle and sheep, and it is difficult to survive the cold winter. When the grass withers and turns yellow, the grassland will turn into a snow field. At that time, there will no longer be any food supplement from nature. If they do not store enough food before that, it is inevitable to die of cold and hunger.


    This is a problem of wolves and sheep. The sheep eaten by wolves are tragic, but if wolves don''t eat sheep, they will starve to death, and they also have to eat.


    Moreover, the Empire, regarded as a fat sheep, was also responsible for the war. The simple reason was that the Empire strictly prohibited trade with the grassland. The fertile plains had enough food production to feed the whole continent.


    Salt and iron are forged by people on the mineral veins, but these will not be sold to grassland people. On the northwest grassland, except grass or grass, you have to plunder to get these.


    Chengying can guess this situation. After all, whether Xiongnu, Xianbei or any other alien, they will face such problems in the face of the Central Plains Dynasty.


    The Roland Empire would not and could not trade with the grassland people, because if they fattened up the grassland people, they would be beaten. But since the film said that they came from another continent, the basis of trade would be there. The two sides are far away, and there is no possibility of war. As the so-called long-distance communication and close attack, there is simply no better partner.


    As for how the other party transports the goods back, it''s their own business. Saladin will secretly send someone to explore, but will not bear the transportation cost for the other party.


    In the film, Saladin was very interested and nodded with satisfaction. The grassland people spontaneously served them, which is much more efficient than enslaving them after conquering the grassland.


    "What goods do you want?" The implication of the film is that we have what you want.


    Without hesitation, Saladin said, "food, a lot of food!"


    Chengying nodded and said, "food can be traded, but I won''t trade grain. It''s your freedom to disclose your grain and livestock, but I won''t do so."


    When sardin heard the speech, he was silent for a moment, and then laughed: "no problem, what''s the difference between flour and wheat!" He said so, but secretly he was ready to send someone to spy on the crops planted in the mainland.


    Chengying said that, of course, he didn''t really want to expose food crops. He didn''t believe that these grassland people had the ability to create viruses specifically aimed at their crop genes. He said this because organic blocks were fermented and transformed by things such as weeds, and there was no corresponding crop at all.


    "In that case, I won''t hide it." Then Chengying took out several organic blocks like bricks from the storage bracelet, which were held by the waiter and distributed to the tribal leaders.


    This move did not arouse the doubts of the grassland kings. Obviously, storage devices also exist in this world. Even if they are rare, these dignitaries should have seen them.


    Some people can''t wait to taste it, but they are stared back by Saladin. If the other party poisons the food, they will bring all the kings of the grassland in one pot.


    Saladin called the waiter, who was similar to the eunuch in the imperial palace. He cut off an organic object with a machete at his waist and handed it to him. The waiter was not stupid. He was used to testing poison and swallowed it without much hesitation.


    The taste of organic block is really not good, because it is fermented food. Even after treatment, it is difficult to completely cover up the fishy smell after fermentation. Fortunately, the waiter is not a spoiled aristocrat. After chewing the sweet taste of starch decomposition, he swallowed it and reported to Saladin:


    "Wang, this is really qualified food. It can satisfy hunger like rice, but it doesn''t taste very good." Compared with the Roland Empire, the rules in the grassland King''s account are much less, so the waiter said it more directly.


    Saladin nodded and still didn''t touch the organic block. He would try this kind of food only if he was sure that the waiter was still fine for a period of time. It''s not a problem for him. Anyway, he doesn''t need to eat this kind of food as a king. As for his people and slaves, he would only be grateful for the food brought by the great grassland king.


    "How much food can your empire provide?"


    Chengying answered without hesitation: "how much you want, how much you have."


    Saladin was calm on the surface, but he didn''t think so in his heart. The Roland empire was so strong that he didn''t dare to say how much food he wanted. It was really unconvincing for an overseas country to dare to speak so wildly.


    "I can trade with you grain ten times the weight of livestock. I want as many livestock as you have." Compared with the previous crazy words, this is more convincing.


    Ten times the price difference, which is almost the price difference between food and meat. It''s still the processed meat, not the whole livestock. The price given by the film is very affordable, and Saladin is also very interested.


    As everyone knows, the cost of organic blocks is almost equal to no weeds of twice the mass. With a certain amount of energy, organic blocks can be synthesized. It can be said that there is no food cheaper than this.


    Even if the exchange ratio is 100 to 1, the filmmakers can earn some money, but this obviously can not satisfy the filmmakers. The scissors difference between organic blocks and animal husbandry is not obvious enough.


    "Other commodities can also be traded. After all, the transportation of grain is not convenient, and there can be more profitable trading goods."


    When sardin heard this, his eyes lit up and asked, "can salt and iron be traded?"


    Shovel is good stuff. Needless to say, shovel is good. Iron sword is the most urgent thing for them. The loss can still make the armor. The northwest army is shape without soul.


    As for salt, the original film was not very heavy. After all, he was originally a modern man. Who still lacked salt? Even at that time, the price of salt was just like that.


    But after crossing, he realized that the monopoly of salt and iron in the ancient dynasty was reasonable. Salt could not be obtained everywhere, but it was essential for human survival. If he did not eat salt for a long time, his limbs would be weak and even die because of the imbalance of osmotic pressure in his body.


    On the grassland where there are no salt mines and there is no sea, people can only rely on the blood of livestock to obtain salt. To some extent, salt can even be regarded as the hard currency here.


    Chengying was still hesitant. After arriving at the moon, he couldn''t bask in salt by sea. Although the salt reserve was enough to eat for 180 years, he didn''t want to sell it very much, but the grassland man''s bid was too high. He wanted to change a kilogram of salt for a cow. Chengying thought that there was no sea in the different world, and there were all kinds of salt
