Chapter 1482: Doing Business with Krum


After the banquet, Zhao Ziliang hurried back to the caravan camp and called Nang: "Everyone, listen, get ready quickly.

We will leave early tomorrow morning."

When everyone heard Zhao Ziliang's roaring voice, they all came out of the tent and gathered around.

Liang Zhenwu asked: "Master, look at you like this, what happened?"

"Let's talk in the tent first," said Zhao Ziliang, Liang Zhenwu, Zhang Huchen, Greenling, Phyllis and Dubosare walked into the tent one after another.

Zhao Ziliang sat down and said to everyone: "During the dinner just now, Dutels said that he wanted his concubine to stay with me for the night.

I think that concubine is extremely ugly.

She is not even one ten thousandth as beautiful as Grayling.

So I refused, but Duters looked very unhappy, and I was worried that this guy would be detrimental to us."

Grayling was very unhappy when she first heard about it, but then she heard Zhao Ziliang say that the concubine was not one thousandth as beautiful as she was.

She immediately became elated.

She originally wanted to be angry, but now she stopped being angry and even yelled: "Fuck!"

The Lachi people are so barbaric that they still have such ugly customs.

We Avars banned this bad custom hundreds of years ago, but I didn’t expect that the Lachi people still keep it.”

Phyllis said worriedly: "This is troublesome.

For many tribes on the grassland, it is the highest etiquette to use one's own women to accompany distinguished guests.

If refused, the host will consider it an insult to him. , People with strong temperaments are bound to avenge themselves.”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, "Is it so serious?"

Phyllis scratched her scalp, her hair was messed up, and she looked anxious, "It's too serious.

The customs of all ethnic groups in this world are the same.

We would think it would be a shame and shame if our women were bullied by other men, and these barbarians It is considered a great honor to serve guests with one's own wife, concubines, and daughters.

If the guest refuses, it will bring shame to him and make him unable to hold his head high as a human being.

If it were you, what would you do?"

Zhao Ziliang did not expect that there would be such vulgar customs here.

He rubbed his face and said, "It seems that I have done something wrong."

At this time, Dubosare laughed.

Everyone looked at him when they heard the laughter.

Zhang Huchen couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you laughing?

If those Fraqi people come to kill you, you won't be able to run away."

Only then did Dubosare stop laughing and said: "You can rest assured that the Vlachi people will never do anything against us because of this matter.

Even if they do something against us, it can only be caused by other reasons.

Rather than this matter, because they are Phracians, Dacians who have been Romanized, they will not be angry with the guests because they refuse.

If the Dacians who are not Romanized let their wives and If our daughter is refused to serve guests, she will most likely cause trouble for us."

It turned out that everyone including Zhao Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ziliang took Zhang Huchen to bid farewell to Duteres.

Duterles did not show the slightest hostility.

He seemed very reluctant to leave after hearing that Zhao Ziliang was taking the caravan to Plisca, " Brother Wang Laoer, I didn’t expect you to leave so soon, can’t you stay a few more days?

Is it because we didn’t entertain you well?”

Zhao Ziliang quickly denied: "No, no, no, the chief's hospitality made me feel like I was back at home, but you also know that we have to do business to make a living, so we can't stay in one place for too long.

We must get the goods as soon as possible."

After selling, we will return to Western Qin and then go on the next journey.

I think we will be here again soon, maybe in the spring of tomorrow, maybe in the summer."

Duterse said with great joy: "Is this true?

I will definitely wait for your arrival."

After bidding farewell to Duters, Zhao Ziliang led the caravan to leave the territory of the Vlachi people as quickly as possible.

In the next ten days, they passed seven or eight tribes of different sizes along the way, including the Dacians. , Ostrogoths, Armenians, Slavs and Bulgars.

In this land, although there are many other tribes, they only account for a small proportion of the population.

Most of them are Bulgars.

You can see Bulgar tribes herding horses and sheep everywhere, and some tribes are on river beaches with rich water resources.

The surrounding areas were cleared for farming.

On September 19, 789 AD, Zhao Ziliang and his party came to Kolarovgrad.

Since the Bulgars came to the lower Danube area, they have mixed with the local Slavs and began to use Slavic.

Therefore, the names of many places have obvious Slavic characteristics, such as Whatgrad and Lovech.

Kararovgrad is a small town that was left behind by the Romans.

After entering the town, Zhao Ziliang asked about Tram times when he met everyone.

When he was in Constantinople a month and a half ago, Bulgar merchant Tramci told Zhao Ziliang when he left with goods that he lived in Kararovgrad.

If Zhao Ziliang went to the Bulgar Khanate, he would go to Kararo.

Fugler looked for him.

After Zhao Ziliang led the caravan, it aroused the curiosity and onlookers of many residents of the town.

You must know that almost everyone has never seen people from the East.

They did not expect that the people from the East would look like this.

This greatly satisfied the locals.

The curiosity of the Bulgars has caused quite a topic in the local area.

Unexpectedly, Tramci was very famous here.

After asking only one person, he found out Tramci's address.

Following the route guided by passers-by, Zhao Ziliang and his party came to the door of a rather large house.

The house is already one of the best buildings in this small town.

Not long after he was informed, he saw a fat Bulgar man rushing out.

The fat man looked up and saw that the person standing at the front was not Zhao Ziliang.

He immediately opened his arms and laughed, and walked towards Zhao Ziliang: "Hahaha My brother, I finally waited for you to come."

The two hugged, and Tramci said very happily: "I have been waiting for your arrival every day these days.

I also send people to the town entrance every now and then to check if there are any caravans from the east.

I didn't expect that today I finally arrived.

I am so happy that you are here.

My brother, I heard that you were in big trouble in Constantinople.

Are you okay?"

Zhao Ziliang opened his arms for Tram to look at, and said with a smile: "If I were not good, how could I have come here so quickly?

On the way here, we encountered some annoying flies that were always buzzing behind us.

They were buzzing, but we finally got rid of them.

I think there won’t be those pesky flies here anymore.”

Tramci immediately patted his chest and promised: "My brother, you can rest assured here, no one can touch you.

You have traveled a long way and are dusty.

You must be very tired.

Please come in with me."

I immediately arranged for slaves to You prepare bath water and a rest room so that you can wash away the dust and have a good rest.

I will host a banquet for you at night.

All the prominent people in the town will attend, and the most beautiful girl in the town will be there for us.

Sing and dance”

Zhao Ziliang said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

That night, Tramci indeed prepared a grand welcome dinner, attended by leading figures from all walks of life in the town.

Tramci brought out the most delicious food and drinks in the town, and only sang and sang.

There were twenty or thirty beautiful women dancing, and the food included mutton, beef, wine and Oriental shochu.

Banquets of this size are definitely rare in the Bulgar Khanate.

After all, this is not Constantinople, it is just a small town, and this small town is already a first-tier city in the Bulgar Khanate.

Only the kingdom's capital city, Plisca, is larger than it.

This night was a feast for both host and guest.

When it comes to roasted lamb, Zhao Ziliang has eaten a lot of it, and he often eats roasted whole lamb.

The taste of roasted lamb is slightly different in each place, but this Bulgarian roasted lamb has a unique flavor. .

Zhao Ziliang had a very comfortable night, and the two beautiful Bulgar girls' attentive service made him hooked.

When he woke up in the morning, the two beautiful Bulgar girls were curled up in his arms like two little white cats.

"Young Master, Young Master!"

Zhang Huchen shouted outside, which made Zhao Ziliang have to get up.

The two beautiful girls were also woken up.

They immediately got up and put on their clothes and walked out quickly.

Zhao Ziliang put on his clothes and came out and asked, "What do you call someone so early in the morning?

What's the matter?"

Zhang Huchen said: "Sir, Tramci said he has something to discuss with you."

"Oh" Zhao Ziliang was stunned, "This fat man has something to do early in the morning, so go and have a look."

When he came to the main hall, Zhao Ziliang saw Tramci talking to a strong and sturdy young man and a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties.

He walked over and coughed twice, clasping his fists and saying, "Tramci."

Second brother, I heard you were looking for me."

Tramci immediately stood up and said: "Brother Wang, come, let me introduce you.

This is Krum, the leader of our Kutragul tribe.

This is Balalez, the life and death brother of the old leader."

While Zhao Ziliang looked at Krum, he clasped his fists and said, "Chief Klum is young and promising.

On the way here, I heard that the Kutrapur tribe has unified the area south of the lower Danube River under the leadership of the leader.

This is great. achievements" Krum, the future Grand Duke of Bulgaria, was only in his twenties at this time.

To outsiders, he was a little proud of his achievements, but he did not get carried away.

He pointed to Balalez beside him and introduced: "I am too young.

Yes, many things are It was only with the help of Uncle Balalec that I achieved the current results.

I heard Tramtz mention your Excellency many times.

You helped him a lot in Constantinople.

Helping Tramtz means helping me and our library.

Ministry of Tragul, I am very grateful to Your Excellency” Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "The leader is too polite.

I am a businessman.

Since I have done business with Tramtz, he is my partner.

Of course I have to help him, at least within the scope of my ability.

I can't let him Something happened to him" Krum laughed: "Haha, your Excellency is a cheerful person.

I will call you Brother Wang just like Tramtz.

To be honest, our Kutragur tribe needs Brother Wang's help very much.

We have many problems."

The demand for daily necessities is great, and we also need salt and iron.

It would be better to have sharp swords. , if Brother Wang has the connections in this area and can bring the freight here, we can offer a high price, and I can promise Brother Wang that our business in Kutragul can be handed over to Brother Wang in the future, and you say He is the best friend of Kutragul and I, what do you think?"

As expected, he was worthy of being a great hero.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said with a smile: "I am very happy to be a friend of the leader and the Kutragul tribe.

As long as you can build a large dock on the seaside, I can guarantee that every time you pass by At least one shipment comes a month, and I can get the salt and iron you need."

Klum showed a happy smile, opened his arms and hugged Zhao Ziliang, "My friend, I will not let you suffer.

When our business starts, you will find that you will only get more":
