Wales invited Zhao Hai into his tent. Compared to Spiel's tent, Wales' tent was much more luxurious. The inside of the tent was covered with a fine wool carpet, and there were tables and chairs inside. This was a rare sight on the Beastmen Prairie. Most of the utensils inside the tent were made of silver, which fully showed the extraordinariness of the owner's status.
But what surprised Zhao Hai was that there wasn't a single woman or child in the entire camp. Apart from the warriors, there was only Wales and the prophets in the tent of a few hundred people. There was no one else.
After sitting down in the tent, a herculean bull warrior immediately brought them milk tea. Wales raised the milk tea and said, "Brother Zhao Hai, I have to thank you for your help today. Otherwise, those mongrels would have been really hard to deal with. Right, I forgot to introduce you. This is my teacher, Prophet Yale."
Zhao Hai stood up and saluted Yale. One must maintain respect for the orc prophets. This was a phrase that all humans who came to the Beastmen Prairie had to remember.
"Hello, respected prophet. This is my fiancee, Laura. This is also my fiancee, Meg. And this is Nier." Meg nodded and said, "Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Zhao Hai also introduced Laura and Meg to Wales and Yale. This was the first time that he had introduced Meg as his fiancée in public.
This was also what Laura had asked Zhao Hai to do. Laura thought that this would be fair to Meg.
When Meg heard Zhao Hai introduce her like this, she couldn't help but blush. However, she was secretly happy in her heart. Her identity was finally confirmed, which made the last bit of worry in Meg disappear completely.
Wales didn't feel surprised by Zhao Hai's introduction. It wasn't only humans who could marry more than one wife, it was the same among the beastmen. In fact, the situation among the beastmen was much more serious than among the humans. It was said that there was a horse tribe chief who had taken more than 30 wives, and was given the nickname 'stallion'.
Wales politely saluted Laura and Meg, and then they all sat down. After drinking milk tea, Wales looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Zhao Hai, how did you get that big-bellied pig tribe's war flag?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "A while ago, I helped the big-bellied pig tribe's Sheep Head Hammer tribe a little. The tribe's chief, Spear, gave me that friendship flag."
Wales didn't say that the flag was a friendship flag because he wanted to see if Zhao Hai knew the meaning of the flag. Now that Zhao Hai said it, Wales understood that Zhao Hai knew what the flag represented.
Wales nodded and said, "It seems that you helped him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have given you the friendship flag. Hehe, Brother Zhao Hai, I see that you're a merchant? Is your cart full of grain? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Wales. I can't actually be considered a proper merchant. I have a territory that produces grain. Right now, I have a large amount of grain in my hands that I want to sell. Among them, bamboo rice is the most abundant."
When Wales heard Zhao Hai's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "My brother, how much is your grain?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "2000 kilograms of grain for an argali."
Wales stared blankly, then his eyes lit up as he said, "My brother, you said 2000 kilograms of grain for an argali? Are you sure you didn't say it wrongly? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "In fact, this is just the price. If it's a friend, the price can be lowered. And to be honest, I have an elder who likes to research magic beasts. So as long as it's a special magic beast that's unique to the prairie, I can buy it at a high price. Of course, if you need grain, I can also use grain to exchange. Also, I have the freshest vegetables in my hands. These vegetables are as fresh as they've just been picked. Meg, go get some fresh vegetables for Brother Wales as our meeting gift." Meg responded and walked out of the tent.
Wales and Yale listened to Zhao Hai's words in a daze. They really didn't think that Zhao Hai would propose such a condition. This was beyond their expectations.
Wales looked at Zhao Hai and said, "My brother, how much grain can you provide? I mean, how much grain do you have in your hands right now? "
Zhao Hai looked at Wales and said, "I have as much as you want!"
Crazy! These words were really crazy. Yale and Wales felt that Zhao Hai's words were too arrogant. One must know that Wales' identity was there. If he really wanted to do a grain business with Zhao Hai, then the amount of grain needed would be astronomical.
Wales looked at Zhao Hai and said, "My brother, I think I forgot to introduce myself to you. I'm the seventh son of the Herculean Bull Tribe's chieftain. If I really want to do business with you, then I'll need a lot of grain."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter, my brother. I know that your identity is not ordinary. You have a prophet teacher, and you can wear a gorgeous robe. Your identity is certainly not ordinary. But please rest assured, I said that I will give you as much food as you want. This is not a bluff. You can calculate how much food your entire tribe needs, and then we can talk." Zhao Hai smiled faintly.
Wales looked at Zhao Hai and was a little puzzled. He didn't understand where Zhao Hai's confidence came from. One must know that grain had always been the human's biggest export to the beastmen. At the same time, it was also the human's most powerful weapon against the beastmen. Because of this, the price of grain had always been high among the beastmen.
Although the humans transported a lot of grain to the Beastmen Prairie, it was still not enough compared to the huge population of the beastmen. Every year, many beastmen had to eat mutton for a long time to get through the grain shortage.
Eating mutton for a long time wasn't necessarily a good thing for the beastmen. If they ate the mutton, they would be at a loss compared to exchanging it for grain. But because of the lack of grain, they had no choice but to do so.
Actually, it wasn't that the humans didn't transport grain to the Beastmen Prairie on purpose. In the eyes of the human merchants, if they transported grain to the Beastmen Prairie, they could exchange it for argali. That was money. Why wouldn't they do such a business? But the problem was that the humans didn't have that much grain.
Now, all the major countries on the continent had adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to the selling of grain to the Beastmen Prairie. You could sell, but you couldn't go too far and affect the grain price of the continent. Otherwise, the royal family wouldn't be polite.
Because of all these reasons, the Beastmen Prairie had a huge grain shortage every year. Even if they were willing to exchange argali, they couldn't do anything about it because there was no grain.
Wales didn't quite believe Zhao Hai's words. Even if Zhao Hai had a territory and planted bamboo rice all over it, he still wouldn't be able to fill up the grain shortage in the Beastmen Prairie. What right did he have to be so arrogant?
Compared to Wales, Yale felt that something was wrong. Zhao Hai looked too confident, which made Yale's heart skip a beat. He suddenly thought of something bad.
There were human merchants who had said such words in front of the beastmen before. In the end, it was proven that those human merchants were all liars. It wasn't that they didn't have that much grain, it was that they just used some moldy grain to deal with them. If it was moldy rice, then it was still fine. After washing it a few times, it could still be eaten. But if they didn't have that much grain, and the beastmen tribes were counting on the grain to get through the winter, then the outcome would be very tragic.
Yale clearly remembered that five years ago, there was a large warring tribe who had a grain shortage because of such a liar. In the end, some people actually starved to death. Moreover, that tribe had suffered great losses because of eating large amounts of argali. They still hadn't recovered from it until now.
Yale was afraid that Zhao Hai was also such a person. If Zhao Hai really wanted to use this method to deal with the Herculean Bull Tribe, then his appearance here wouldn't be a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Yale couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhao Hai. Before Wales spoke, he coughed and said to Wales, "Wales, it's all thanks to Zhao Hai's help today that we were able to defeat those mongrels. Shouldn't we properly entertain Zhao Hai and the others? Also, Zhao Hai and the others need to set up a camp. "
When Wales heard this, he knew that Yale had something to say to him alone. He didn't continue to talk about the grain issue with Zhao Hai. Instead, he nodded and said, "Yes, look at me. I only care about this. Brother Zhao Hai, you set up the camp first, then we'll have a few drinks."
Zhao Hai also saw this, so he didn't say anything. He just smiled and stood up, "Alright, brother Wales. I'll go set up the camp first. I'll send the vegetables over in a while." After that, Zhao Hai led Laura and Nier to salute Wales and Yale, then turned and left the tent.
At this time, Meg also brought a few undead creatures with a few baskets of vegetables outside the tent. These vegetables were just placed on the carriage by Zhao Hai. After all, these vegetables couldn't be left outside for too long, or else they wouldn't be fresh anymore.
Zhao Hai didn't let Meg enter the tent. He only let Meg pass the vegetables to the herculean bull guards outside the tent, then led Meg and the others back to the caravan.
It was very convenient for them to set up the camp today. The carriages had already formed a circular formation, so they only needed to set up a tent in the middle of the formation to set up the camp.
When they returned to their own camp, the tent was already set up. Zhao Hai and Meg also returned to their tent. Zhao Hai's tent was very simple. The ground was covered with rabbit skin, and there weren't many decorations inside, making it look very spacious.
After they sat down in the tent, Laura smiled at Zhao Hai, "Brother Hai, you're too impatient. I think Wales and Yale must have taken you as a swindler."
Zhao Hai smiled, "What? Do beastmen often encounter swindlers like this? "
