Chapter 589: Silage
"Mo Jiazi!"
When Merton appeared, in the venue arranged by the Hulun tribe, the eyes of the various tribal leaders had already been focused on Merton.
Prior to this, the Tuyuhun tribes naturally didn't care about what the Mo family was, but Tuyuhun was not ignorant of the Tang Dynasty, the previous Khan Fu Yun was very fond of inquiring about the intelligence of the Tang Dynasty, and there were also a few Hu business exchanges between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty, in just a few days, all kinds of rumors about the Mo family spread in front of the leaders of various tribes.
"I heard that this Tang will turn stones into gold! He is a well-known rich man in the Tang Dynasty. ”
"According to the Han people, this Tang general is the most learned person among the Han people, and no matter how difficult the world is, it is easy in his hands."
"It is said that this Tang will take one of the poorest tribes of 5,000 Han people to become the richest tribe in the Tang Dynasty in one year."
………………
The leaders naturally didn't understand how great the hundred schools of thought were, but they were very interested in the myth of Merton's wealth, and combined with the legendary experience of Merton, which was passed on to Tuguhun, everyone was even more interested.
"Maybe what he said could make a pasture feed ten times as many cattle and sheep, maybe it could come true?" Many people are looking forward to it.
There are also leaders who don't believe it, but no one shows it, whether it's true or not, we will know after today.
"Tall, sir!"
When Merton and Gao Shilian came together, Murong Shun saw Gao Shilian's warm face and hurriedly greeted him.
For Gao Shilian, he is very clear, the elders and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are the maternal uncle of the eldest grandson, if Gao Shilian can contribute to the restoration of Tuyuhun, the role he can play will be crucial.
"Prince Shun!" Gao Shilian pulled the distance without a trace.
He naturally knew Murong Shun's purpose, but unfortunately he didn't have the heart to get involved in this kind of thing now, if Murong Shun became the Khan of Tuyuhun, how could Datang smoothly get wealth such as cattle and sheep from Tuyuhun.
Murong Shun noticed Gao Shilian's estrangement, and immediately became embarrassed, and beckoned Gao Shilian and Morton to sit down.
"Although Tuyuhun is located in a remote area, Shun has also heard of the prestige of Mojia Village, the first village in the world, Mohou can make Mojia Village rich in the world by himself, and all the departments of our grassland are looking forward to Mohou's earth-shattering secret skills." Murong Shun said with a compliment.
"Mohou Gaoyi, the conditions of the grassland are difficult, and the herdsmen lack food and clothing, if Mohou can save the herdsmen and the fire and water, we will definitely pray to the immortal heaven day and night for you." A large tribal leader shouted.
"Mohou loves the world and has noble aspirations......" another large tribal leader shouted.
Suddenly, words of praise floated towards Merton as if they didn't want money.
Behind the tribal leader, the Dawa leader of the three tribes of Tianzhu lowered his head and showed a sneer, if Tang Jiang could really be coaxed by these good words, wouldn't the cattle and sheep of the three tribes of Tianzhu be in vain.
Merton got up with a useful face and arched his hand towards the leaders: "The Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and the Mo family also advocates both love and non-aggression. ”
The two sides had just ceased fighting, and Merton's words were naturally a hundred leaders who did not believe it, but looking at the heavily guarded Tang soldiers around them, the leaders still wisely closed their mouths.
"The grassland people have a difficult life, life is not easy, the herdsmen not only have to fight with the wolves, but also have to fight against natural and man-made disasters, not to mention birth, old age, sickness and death, how many adult warriors do not live more than 40, and more than half of the babies are born." Merton said in a heavy tone.
The tribal leaders couldn't help but feel related, it was too difficult to survive on the grassland, the mortality rate was too high, not to mention such a treacherous place as Xingsuchuan, otherwise the Hulun tribe would not have tried their best to return to Qinghai Lake.
"However, you don't know that in the Central Plains, people over sixty years old abound, this tall man next to me is a sixty-year-old person, as long as it is not an incurable disease, it can be cured in my Tang Dynasty, if the baby is congenitally insufficient, there is no problem in survival." Merton vigorously promoted the advancement of the Tang Dynasty.
Many tribal leaders can't help but yearn for the Tang Dynasty, although these leaders are better off than ordinary herdsmen, but they are not much better, and they are resigned to fate when they encounter diseases.
"Benhou can promise you, as long as it is the children of all the leaders and others here today. All of them can enjoy the benefits of treatment in the best hospital in Chang'an City, such as Mo Hospital, and keep them healthy and long-lived. Merton said in a loud voice.
Many leaders are excited, there are almost no medical conditions in Qinghai, all rely on hard resistance and some witch doctors blind cats encounter dead rats, even if the leaders can live past forty, the richer and more statusful people are, the more afraid of death, Merton's promise directly hit the weakness of these Tuyuhun leaders.
Moreover, the news of the cure rate of more than ninety percent of the wounded soldiers in the Tang Dynasty has already spread on the shores of Qinghai Lake, and the name of the doctor is also thunderous on the grassland.
A smile appeared in Gao Shilian's heart, this is another trick that the Mo family discussed with him to directly buy the Tuyuhun leaders, I believe that once this plan comes out, although these leaders cannot be immediately attached, it can make many leaders turn their hearts to the Tang Dynasty, after all, who can not have three diseases and five disasters.
"Mohou is benevolent to the world, and Tuyuhun is grateful for Mohou's generosity." Murong Shun quietly showed his wrist and thanked Merton on behalf of the Tuyuhun tribes.
How could Merton not detect Murong Shun's intentions, he just smiled, and did not think so, but smiled, moved his fingers, whistled, and suddenly a high-pitched horse neighing sound.
"Da Da Da!"
The tall, unusually athletic figure rushed into the venue like a bolt of lightning, suddenly stopped beside Merton, and affectionately touched Merton with his head.
"Peerless BMW!"
Even the tribal leaders who are accustomed to seeing BMW can't help but cheer when they see the shadow, so BMW is extremely rare, even Tuyuhun is extremely rare.
Merton said proudly: "This is Ben Hou's mount Jueying, you see today's Jueying walking like flying, but you don't know that a year ago, Jueying's four hooves cracked, and even walking was in pain, if it wasn't for Ben Hou, I'm afraid that such a BMW would die soon." ”
Many tribal leaders were suddenly full of surprise, the cracking of the horse's hooves is not unique to the Tang Dynasty, it is also extremely common in Qinghai, generally speaking, as long as the horse with four hooves cracked has no value, it can only be killed and eaten, and after the four hooves of the BMW in front of him are cracked, they can still walk like flying, and they have obviously recovered, how can this not make the hearts of the leaders moved.
Merton didn't sell it, but stretched out his hand, and the Shadow put his front hooves on Merton's palm very spiritually, and Merton held the front hooves of the Shadow and walked around in front of the leaders, showing the hideous scars and horseshoes on the horse's hooves to the leaders one by one.
"Ben Hou invented the method of wound suturing and horseshoes, and from then on, there is no hidden danger of cracking and damage in Datang's horses." Merton let go of the horse's hooves and waved his hand, and the shadow immediately jumped away.
"I see!" A group of leaders suddenly realized, one by one on the face of the excited look, horses in the grassland is also an extremely valuable wealth, every year because of the horse's hooves cracked and broken horses are countless horses, now they have obtained this technology, that is no longer the hidden danger of the loss of horses.
At this moment, the leaders are facing up to the young and excessive general in front of them for the first time, betrayal and counter-betrayal are common things on the grassland, whoever can bring benefits to the tribe is the ally of the tribe, and at this moment it is the Tang Dynasty that brings benefits to the tribes.
"In addition, Ben Hou wants you to witness a transaction with your own eyes, Ben Hou promised the Tianzhu tribe to exchange three times the weight of flour for a sheep, and today I am here to complete this transaction."
Merton stretched out his hand, and suddenly four horses pulled a fully loaded four-wheeled carriage into the venue, and several Tang Dynasty soldiers immediately stepped forward, suddenly revealing bags of white flour inside.
"This is a fine face!"
Immediately all the chieftains were in an uproar, and in Tuyuhun, due to the limited means of production, the only food that could be eaten was a small amount of coarse sorghum flour in addition to meat, and the flour made from wheat was called fine flour, and only the noblest chieftains were qualified to eat it.
Even the leader of Dawa looked at the scene in disbelief, in order to keep the pasture, he did not have any objection to the price of Merton's three times the price of grain for sheep, he originally thought that the Tang people must have exchanged the cheapest corn for treachery, but Merton's behavior today subverted all his guesses.
Merton looked at the stunned Tuyuhun leaders, and couldn't help but say proudly: "My Tang Dynasty is rich in the world, it is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and the Heavenly Khan is wise and martial, and he is the co-master of the world, how can I take advantage of you." ”
Gao Shilian almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea, and Merton's righteous words were far from the appearance of the righteous words he had just discussed with him about using flour to control the grassland. However, Merton did not deceive Tuyuhun, flour is also a high-quality ingredient in Datang, and according to the current market price, this wave of trading Dawa tribe is not a loss.
"Tian Khan is above, my Tianzhu tribe will always remember the kindness of the Tang Dynasty!" The leader of Dawa didn't know whether he was pretending or sighing, but he actually showed his loyalty in public.
The other leaders also sighed with emotion, today's performance of Merton, but directly subverted everyone's impression of the Tang Dynasty merchants, compared with the businessman who pit the three hundred horses of the Tianzhu King with a diamond, it is really a world of difference, and suddenly the impression of the leaders of the Tang Dynasty has changed greatly, and the original resistance has slowly dissipated.
"Master Hou of the Tang Dynasty, you are a believer, my Hulun tribe believes in you, I don't know if my tribe can also exchange it like this." The leader of Hulun said in a loud voice, he spent a lot of cattle and sheep in exchange for this pasture from Merton, originally thinking that the clansmen would starve this year, Merton's deal made his eyes light up, according to this trading method, his Hulun tribe will definitely be able to feed most of the clansmen at the smallest cost.
Merton nodded happily and said: "Of course you can, my Datang Tongsu is not bullied, as long as I recognize Tian Khan, my Datang will definitely treat everyone equally." ”
"My tribe also wants to trade with Datang!" Not to be outdone, the Montu tribe said.
"My tribe will also ......"
Many small and medium-sized tribes have shouted that it is not easy for small tribes to survive, and if they can exchange it for three times the amount of food, the lives of the people will be greatly improved.
Gao Shilian has been observing the reactions of the leaders of the tribes, and he can't help nodding secretly, as soon as Merton's skill comes out, Datang has the tools to control the grassland, and he can make all the tribes of the grassland return to their hearts, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
Murong Shun couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart, these leaders looked at Mo Dun at this moment more enthusiastically than when they saw him, the khan, if it went on like this, wouldn't all the tribes have to buy the Mo family, and at the moment he had an idea, and reminded loudly: "The Mo family's stunt is really extraordinary, but what Mo Hou said before is a way to make the number of cattle and sheep in the grassland skyrocket, I don't know if I can wait for a sneak peek." ”
The leaders suddenly remembered today's business, and looked at Merton with expectant eyes, and at this moment, everyone's confidence in Merton suddenly increased several times.
Merton laughed and said, "That's good! Gossip aside, from the perspective of Benhou, there are no more than two aspects to feed cattle and sheep, one is water and the other is grass! Where there is plenty of water, the grass is waist-high, the sky is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, and the dry land can have no horseshoe! ”
"Asakusa can have no horseshoe!" Gao Shilian couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but secretly scold the Mo family for destroying the heavens, this sentence is a good half of the poem when I hear it, and it is a tyrannical thing to say to these barbarians.
As a fellow Xianbei person, Tuyuhun naturally understands it, but this half of Merton's poem is extremely easy to understand, and the leaders can't help but nod their heads.
In the grassland, water is indeed the top priority, and most of the battles of the grassland tribes revolve around the water source, where there is water, the cattle and sheep can be met with drinking water, and the herdsmen can survive.
"The problem with the water was easy to solve! Ben Hou solved it a year ago! ”
However, Merton's next sentence stunned the leaders.
"A year ago!" The leaders looked at Merton in disbelief, and even Murong Shun didn't believe it.
Only Gao Shilian nodded thoughtfully.
Merton nodded and said, "Yes, Ben Hou created the method of drilling and pressing wells in various places in Datang a year ago. Now it has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, according to this method, as long as a well is drilled in various parts of the grassland, it is enough for thousands of cattle and sheep to drink. ”
As long as there is grass on the grassland, there will be groundwater, and as long as you choose a low-lying place, you will definitely be able to draw water.
As long as there is sufficient water, the herdsmen do not have to work hard, drive their cattle and sheep to graze for dozens of miles to find water, as long as there is grassland, they can feed cattle and sheep, so that the land suitable for grazing in Qinghai will be multiplied.
"If you have buffalo and sheep, you can live, but if you want the cattle and sheep to grow, you must let the cattle and sheep eat grass, especially in winter, the cattle and sheep will lose fat, and the thin ones will not survive the long winter." Merton Road.
Many leaders nodded their heads, this is the largest world on the grassland, and the long winter is long.
Morton looked at the leaders and said with a hint of pride: "The Mo family loves all living beings and can't bear the herdsmen to suffer from this, so Benhou specially created a method for herdsmen to feed cattle and sheep in winter, silage!" ”
