The second housekeeper of Yunfu, Lao Zhao, is now a man of the hour in Dousha Pass, as long as he dares to show his head, there will be countless businessmen surrounding him immediately, no matter what he has to do, he will be dragged to a luxurious place that I don't know what to call it, beauty, wine, and food will appear like water in an instant, and those fat and greasy people in front of him have all kinds of flattering smiling faces, and they are affectionate with Brother Zhao's call.

The family members of the Yun family all went to the Steamer Gorge for a vacation, and the old patriarch of Dousha Village did not allow these nameless businessmen to go in for fear of breaking the feng shui, as for Yun Houye, they could see it every day, but they were surrounded by armor, and no one had the courage to come forward to talk, so Lao Zhao became the focus of the merchants of Dousha Village.

There is now a common rumor in Dousha Village that Yunhou did not allow merchants to enter the grassland, let alone allow merchants to buy fields, and used it as a bridgehead for trade routes deep into the Tibetan territory.

It's because Marquis Yun is thinking about the country and worrying about the loss of the treasury if he sells the land there, so the reason why the ban is issued is to stretch the big guys, so as to raise the price of the land, don't you see that the Yun family's caravan has not entered the grassland? Isn't this the table of the Gao Feng Liang Festival?

"Oh, Brother Zhao, the purchase in the house is not in a hurry, the old man has ordered someone to send it to the village, you and my brother have not seen each other for a long time, so I can drink two cups well, today there are good winter bamboo shoots, with some cured meat is a plate of good dishes, it can't be eaten well."

Lao Zhao smiled helplessly: "Your thoughts, the old man knows, and the shopkeeper in the family is also urging me these days, but the Hou Ye never spit out, how do you want me to ask the old slave." ”

Lao Huang, the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop at the head, said with a smile: "Don't dare to embarrass Brother Zhao, you just need to tell Master Sù Hou that the traders of our Dousha Pass have prepared the silver." Just waiting for the grand event of the Marquis, as for the price, we don't ask, our Song Dynasty has fertile land, and some are mountains, these are not rare. As long as you carry out the silver, you can buy it, as for the grassland, it is rare, as long as there is a chance to buy a suitable grassland, who dares to ask the price. ”

Lao Zhao sighed and said: "Lord Hou has been diligent in royal affairs every day these days, and he always doesn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and he has to get up before dawn in the morning. In the morning, I will have a bowl of millet porridge and two buns to make up for it, and we old people will feel distressed when we look at it.

My shopkeeper Lao Zhu got some bird's nest from Guangnan and prepared to give it to Hou Ye to make up for his body, and by the way, he asked when the caravan at home would enter the grassland of western Yunnan, and Hou Ye lost his temper and the bird's nest was blown off. also asked Lao Zhu if he made enough money? If the Yun family didn't enter the grassland, would they starve to death?

Tell me, how do you want me to tell Master Hou about this at this time? ”

Everyone gasped when they heard this, Yunhou is the invincible commander on the battlefield, if he started the fire and didn't kill people on the spot, it would be Lao Zhu's luck, no wonder Lao Zhu has always looked at anyone with a black face these days.

Lao Zhao saw that everyone was silent, so he smiled and said: "But things on the grassland must be solved, you don't know, there are not many Tubo people left on the grassland now." I heard the monkey say that there are not even 50,000 people, most of them are old and weak, women and children are in short supply of food and materials, and they are likely to not survive this winter.

Our army of spies has entered the steppe. The news brought back made Hou Ye unable to sleep at night, the grassland in western Yunnan is already in the bag of our Great Song Dynasty, and naturally the people there will become the people of our Great Song Dynasty, since they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally they can't watch them starve to death.

But where did the food and supplies for the 50,000 victims come from? We don't have this expenditure in Chengdu, and we don't have this additional expenditure in Da Song. Hou Ye has a good heart and can't see the victims suffering. I'm worrying about these things these days. ”

Old Butter's glossy fat face immediately changed from sad to thoughtful, and he tugged on Lao Zhao's sleeve and whispered: "Since we are the victims of the Great Song Dynasty." Are those of us who have a good life qualified to go to the grassland to help our neighbors?

There is this saying in the law of our Great Song Dynasty, "righteous help" is incumbent on the neighbors, the neighbors are starving to death, and the officials will be held accountable, alas, it is really difficult for the Hou Ye, but how can we "help the towns"? I can't get into the grassland. ”

Lao Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, smiled without saying a word, Hou Ye said, for these businessmen to beware, can not put the initiative in their hands, once these people enter the grassland, due to the relationship between wealth and wealth, the grassland will immediately become the grassland of merchants, and the grassland is likely to become not like the grassland.

The Han people prefer to farm, whether it is a businessman, a famous minister, or an emperor, they all like to plant something in the field.

If you see an emperor farming barefoot in the soil, no matter who you are, you will be happy from the bottom of your heart, at least you will think that your majesty has not forgotten the craftsmanship handed down by your ancestors and attaches great importance to agriculture.

A Hongru knelt in the ground to take care of some seedlings, and there was nothing to criticize about such a scene, everyone would only say that this person was cultivating his mind.

Therefore, in such an atmosphere, the people of the Great Song Dynasty pondered what to plant in the land no matter what time they wanted, they planted in the desert, on the Gobi Desert, on the mountain beams, and on the cliffs. Even in the lush farmland, they don't let go of the narrow ridge and order beans on it......

It is also strange to say that the originally unruly desert, Gobi, and mountains have all succumbed to the hands of the Han people, and they are obviously places that are not suitable for farming, and they will bear abundant fruits under the hands of the Han people.

If these people are allowed to enter the grassland, it will not take too much time, the grassland of western Yunnan will be full of melons and fruits, the crops will be lush, there will be ducks swimming in the blisters, chickens running in the yard, and villages everywhere, and finally it will become no different from the rest of the Great Song Dynasty.

What a horrible picture......

The herdsmen know that they can't graze on a grassland for too long, the Han people don't know, and the wealthy Han people will drive pigs to the grassland to graze...... In the end, a good snow-capped mountain pasture will become a barren land......

"Horse farms? A government-run horse farm? Private horse farms? There is even a ranch jointly organized by businessmen? You know what you're talking about? ”

Zhang Fangping finally came to Dousha Pass, and after seeing Yun Zheng, he didn't have time to take a sip of water, so he couldn't wait to ask what he was thinking, and he couldn't sit still immediately after getting a definite answer. This is not the horse farm in Liangshan, Jingzhao Prefecture, which is only a few dozen miles in radius, here is a huge space in a radius of nearly three hundred miles, if it all becomes a horse farm, how much investment is needed.

"Chengdu Mansion has no money, Zhou Yuanlong spent the last penny of the treasury in office, and as soon as the old man took office, he had to prepare for you to train the materials of the royal army, and even used up two percent of the autumn endowment. Now the three envoys are urging me to make up the autumn endowment three times a day, and the imperial history is questioning why the old man is so bold and dares to intercept the autumn endowment, don't talk to me about money. Two words - no! ”

Seeing Zhang Fangping's mouth foaming at the mouth, the tea pushed forward to him and smiled: "I have to drink tea even if I don't have money, I'm so old, and I'm still so angry."

You have sued me since I came out. When did I reach out and ask you for money? This time the training is for the royal army, even if I have money, I don't dare to use it, but the grassland in western Yunnan is too important, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to be strong, it is not possible to have enough war horses. Only by carrying all of our Great Song Dynasty to the war horse, will our pace of progress become faster, tell you, as long as the farmer rides on the back of the war horse, the cowardly person will also become strong!

And a rich and powerful nation, who can defeat me? Who can make him bow his head? Who can stop him from moving forward? ”

Zhang Fangping simply ignored Yun Zheng's impassioned slogans, took a sip of tea, and asked directly: "Can you get money?" Is it to sell the western Yunnan grassland? This method will not work, after our Great Song people get the land, they will immediately burn the grassland and farm, and your desire for war horses will be in vain. To tell you the truth, I came this time to know what you are going to do with the grasslands of western Yunnan, and you have used the resources of our Chengdu Prefecture. Chengdu Mansion cannot be left behind. ”

Yun Zheng said angrily: "Do you have to farm when you get the grassland?" ”

Zhang Fangping, the old god leaned back on the chair and folded his hands on his stomach and said: "Our ancestors' housekeeping skills, why, do you dare to look down on farming?" ”

"I also farm!" Yun Zheng pointed to the two plates of green garlic on the windowsill and said: "Raising horses on the grassland, raising livestock is also the same money, not even less profitable than farming, you look at the price of the Great Song Dynasty war horses." The price of cattle and sheep has become high. ”

Zhang Fangping shook his head and said: "I don't know how to raise horses, you know what happened to raising war horses in farmers' homes in the past." Besides, there is no shortage of war horses in our Great Song Dynasty now, and you have raised tens of thousands of war horses in Jingzhao Mansion. We can also buy suitable war horses in the mutual market with Liao, and the Western Xia has also been abolished, and some time ago, there were merchants who brought in a number of real horses from the big food trafficking, and they made a lot of money for Shi Zhongxin in the horse farm.

In this case, is it necessary for us to raise so many war horses ourselves? There's no need, in my opinion, you still ordered the grassland to be divided into small pieces and sold, millions of dollars can still be guaranteed, when I came, the merchants in Luzhou, and the merchants in Chengdu said, the money is ready, just wait for you to speak, they will immediately come to you to go through the formalities, pay the money with one hand and hand over the land, never bargain, the people of the three envoys also followed, just waiting for the money! ”

Yun Zheng held back his anger and said, "Then let them go to the Tubo people to ask for land by themselves, and see if those Tubo people will bite them to death." ”

Zhang Fangping laughed and said: "You really don't take the Tubo people as a matter, the reason why everyone doesn't dare to enter the grassland of western Yunnan now is entirely because your sentence "The Song people who trespassed into western Yunnan will die" is too scary, otherwise hundreds of thousands of merchants only need to gather outlaws such as the courtyard guards to find a general who is not too bad to lead, and it will not be a problem to form a large army to wipe out the now extremely weak grassland of western Yunnan.

Even if you are defeated by other Tibetans, isn't there still you, the invincible commander, who is behind you? Nothing remarkable. ”

Yun Zheng gritted his teeth and roared, "How did these bastards become so bold now? (To be continued)
