Huang You laughed and took out a big bag of fried barley from the carriage, and the guys on the convoy immediately lit a large pile of cow dung fire, and more than a dozen new accounts were quickly erected, and Huang Cancan's copper kettle was hung on the hook, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was the most delicious butter tea......
When the rest of the shepherds, women and children saw that Yongcuo had met their good friends, the women naturally took over the work from the clumsy men who were clumsily boiling butter tea and mixing barley and glutinous rice cakes, and invited them to go to the fire and drink tea......
"Yongcuo, you are the best shepherd on the grassland, I am the best merchant on the grassland, since we are all the best, why can't we let our people eat the best and wear the best? The Great General has driven out all the greedy leaders.
From now on, there will be no more headmen riding on our heads to ask for our cattle and sheep, as long as we pay a little tax to the government every year, the rest will be our own ......"
Yongcuo drank a large sip of mare's milk wine and shook his head: "I have nothing, nothing, the damn war has taken away all my qiฤ." โ
Huang You smiled: "You don't have it, I have!" I'll buy foals, calves, lambs, and in a year or two, and we'll have a lot of sheep and cows in no time! โ
The drunken Yongcuo shook his head again and said: "Whoever grazes his cattle and sheep should be grazed, this is the will of the gods, let others graze your cattle and sheep, they will starve to death." Cattle are a gift from the gods to the grasslands, and you can't do it if you don't do it. โ
Huang You pointed to his fat belly and said, "Do you think I can graze?" Or can I graze? After speaking, he pointed to the women and children who were trying to eat and drink, and the other old shepherds lowered their voices and said, "If we don't work hard to raise cattle. Raising horses and sheep, how can these people live? Only with cattle and sheep can they live.
I'll go and help them borrow some cattle and sheep on credit, as long as they graze well, they will always pay off their debts. You don't know, the Song people have fools who have a lot of cattle and sheep, as long as they give them some cattle and sheep every year, it doesn't matter if they don't repay their debts......"
Yong Cuo's dizzy old eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and he grabbed Huang You's hand and hurriedly asked, "Can you help them borrow cattle and sheep?" If so, we'll do a good job of grazing. We will definitely pay off the debts owed to others, and the descendants of Snow Mountain never tell lies. โ
Huang You was overjoyed, dragged the leather bag in Yongcuo's hand, leaned up his neck and drank half a bag of wine, and said with a smile: "That's it, I will find a way for you people to spend the winter this year." As soon as spring begins, we start preparing the pasture.
Yongcuo, you first tell me that the best pasture is the best pasture, and we must get the best pasture in front of others, so that our cattle and sheep must be the fattest. โ
Yongcuo also became happy, and the sad mood of these years was completely relieved, yes, the war is over. Although it was ended by the Song people, the war was finally over anyway. I can shepherd the sheep well......
Doushaguan is actually a kaleidoscope, which is full of the power of the entire Great Song Dynasty merchants, and in the Great Song Dynasty, there is no way for a businessman who does not have an official as a backstage to become a big businessman.
Since Yun Zheng has lifted the ban, of course, all merchants must be allowed to enter the grassland, but the merchants of the Shuzhong Commercial House are with the army. Relying on their familiarity with the grassland, they naturally occupied the best pastures in the fastest time. robbed the most prairie women and children.
Yongcuo's encounter is just an example, and the people of Shuzhong Commercial Bank at least understand the truth that if you want the horse to run, you also need to feed the horse grass. Having experienced the rich battlefield environment, they know that they can't be too tormented by the manpower they need, and they can reap more benefits by paying a little insignificant benefit, so why not do it.
Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention the naturally free Tubo people, even if only the old and weak women and children are left, their destructive power still cannot be underestimated.
Patience, growth, latent and eruption This is a fundamental process in the development of things, and the reason why the Tibetan people have been chaotic for hundreds of years and have not been able to form a unified kingdom is that the root cause of this is the stubbornness in the nature of the Tibetan people.
The difference between the merchants of Luzhou, and the merchants of Tokyo and Shuzhong, was that they enjoyed the pleasures of conquerors, and they thought that since they were already conquerors, they would squeeze every penny of profit here, and the outrageous land prices given by Wailang, the branch of Tobe, contributed to their desire to recoup their capital in the shortest possible time.
After this desire was strong enough to a certain extent, simplicity and rudeness followed, and Yongcao was almost indescribable in grief and indignation when he saw a string of Tibetan women and children tied together.
Huang You almost pointed at the people in leather armor with an angry voice: "See clearly, see clearly, hold your children well, and the women will stay in the car, these are the outsiders you are talking about...... Ran to our steppe to rob people......"
"Oh my God, Zhum, hurry up and run here." A woman in Lehrer's chariot shouted at a woman who was trying to run here with a child in her arms, and behind her a large man covered in tattoos was cursing and chasing after her, and in the distance a knight had already opened his longbow.
There was a commotion in the procession, and an elderly shepherd somehow cut the rope and untied the woman in front of her, telling her to run.
Huang You's eyes rolled and he shouted: "If any bastard dares to shoot an arrow, Lao Tzu will sue the general and use you as an arrow stack." Lao Ma didn't hurry up to help. โ
The knight with the bow was stunned for a moment, and did not dare to shoot an arrow, but the leader of the guards of the Huangyou caravan had already slapped his horse and rushed out, letting the panting woman knock the strong man with the flower arm to the ground with his horse, and habitually raised the spear in his hand to stab down.
"Lao Ma, you can't kill people, just rob people......"
Hearing Huang You's words, Yong Cuo thought that he was not with the wrong person, it was obvious that there were more people on the other side than on his side, and there were more knights on his side than on his side, even so, Huang You still decided to save those poor clansmen...... So Yongcuo rode his old horse and rushed forward bravely......
Lao Ma is a retired general in the Jingxi Army, his left leg was injured, and he was an inch shorter than his right leg, so he naturally had no way to continue to mix in the army, and he was originally going to be transferred to a training officer (see, he was hired by Huang You with a high salary to serve as the leader of his caravan guards.
Because of Lao Ma, the caravan guards of the Huang family also have a bit of the appearance of the Jingxi Army, even when they were in Mobei, they dared to fight against the vicious robbers, and a few flower arms from the capital were their opponents.
Huang You didn't dare to do this kind of thing, but he didn't have any psychological burden to do this kind of thing in Shuzhong, seeing that the guards of his caravan had beaten the opponent to the ground, and the wolf bรจi fled, Huang You proudly came to the side of the merchant in the capital with a blue nose and swollen face and said: "This is the rule on the grassland, whoever has the big fist has the final say." โ
Seeing that the angry Yong Misser was coming, he roared angrily: "I know that you lack manpower, but you can't do this, these are all people, the general has repeatedly asked us to come to the grassland to rescue women and children, and this is how you help?"
People, I'll take it away, and if you have a seed, go and report it, maybe all of you will be killed by the horse thieves next time, if you don't believe it, try it. โ
After speaking, he kicked the head of the shopkeeper in the capital, and seeing that the other party was bleeding from his mouth and nose, he was satisfied with letting the guards untie the ropes of those Tubo people and get into their own team and continue to walk back, the pasture on the edge of Eagle Lake is now in urgent need of rest, and there is no time to waste here.
As for untying the rope on those Tubo people, he will not care, with the good brother Yongcuo, the rope will definitely be firmly tied to the hearts of these Tubo people.
The convoy had already gone far away, and Huang You was still looking back at the merchants in the capital in the distance, the general said that as long as they were merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, they were qualified to buy land in the grasslands of western Yunnan, but the general never said that he would guarantee that the merchants in other places could make a fortune here.
If you want to make a fortune in the wilderness, you can't do it without strength, the general is now worried about selling out the pasture here, and after these fools give the money to the general, he will unite with the rest of the merchants to slowly deal with this group of guys who want to get rich and want to go crazy.
Farming? This is a fucking joke at all, the general is right, the grassland is a place for grazing livestock, and if you want to farm, it is best to go to the Heluo area or Jiangnan.
Yongcuo, a good herding hand, must have a thousand ways to make these people unable to grow the land, and the green wheat seedlings are estimated to be very fond of eating by the livestock......
The general is an official, and he is always on guard against others, so Lao Tzu does not rely on the general, and puts on a good trick of agriculture and animal husbandry fighting for land on the grassland!
The silent grassland was broken by the wheels of the Song merchants, and the snowy land carried too many careerists, the early Tubo people wanted to unify western Yunnan, but they did not do it, and now the ambitions of the Song merchants have begun to take root here.
The terrifying imperial power pressed on their heads like a dark cloud and made them breathless, and now, in western Yunnan, they breathed the air of freedom that they had not seen for a long time, and they were confident that they could control this land, no matter who the imperial court sent to be the officials here, they also had the confidence to firmly hold this place, as long as they and the remaining Tubo people could get along harmoniously, this goal would definitely be achieved.
So Huang You took off the excessive mink fur on his body and draped it over a Tibetan mother who was holding a child, gave his warm cart to three pregnant women to ride, and gave them the best food.
Those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a domain, a businessman who has read the art of war will become a conspirator in the shortest possible time, there is no one here, and every child who is about to be born is his most natural ally.
