Chapter 138: The Five Nations (1)
Dunhua Weiyi Field, 100 acres of enclosure land, enclosed with a wooden fence.
It is not every day that the people of the surrounding tribes come to the market, but every day is a trading day, if the fixed time, such as one, three, five, two, four, six, etc., it is too inconvenient for the tribesmen who are far away, and it is difficult to calculate the accurate departure time to Dunhua Rongchang.
There are four main supervisors in Dunhua Rongchang, Wang Jie, the supervisor of the mutual market, Lu Mengzheng, the governor of the Commercial and Taxation Special Office, Lang Peibao, and Lang Jia Huangzhong, the inspector of the field.
Wang Jie, the supervisor of the mutual market, is in charge of daily administration, and he is the eldest son of Wang Jin, the former chief treasurer of the East China Sea.
Lu Mengzheng, the chief officer of the Department of Commercial Taxation, needless to say, is in charge of commercial taxation.
Inspector Lang Jia Huangzhong, there are 100 soldiers under his command to maintain the daily security of the field, if the bullet cannot be suppressed, there is a nearby Dunhua army to help.
Supervising Lang Pei Bao, needless to say, is naturally supervising many affairs in the field, he is Pei Long Pei Hu's sour scholar's younger brother, and now he is also considered to be popular.
Nowadays, there are already local barbarians from the five northern countries who come here to trade their livestock, leather goods, medicinal herbs, and northern pearls.
Different from the previous Central Plains field, there are no tooth people in this field, and the barbarians and the Central Plains merchants can bargain face-to-face.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and Lu Ning was walking in the field refreshed.
He even hummed a little song, and the wonder of Concubine Xian was unimaginable.
This dignified and majestic female general, the delicate shyness exposed by the keto body, the satisfaction that made her cry out for mercy when she entered her body, all of which brought people infinite satisfaction.
The frustration caused by the shipwreck also disappeared, and from the perspective of human progress and the exploration and development of the civilization of Middle Earth, this kind of pain can never be avoided.
The field is very simple, that is, the empty field, set up a grass hut, there are also grass sheds, selling herbal tea and snacks, but it is very cheap, and most of the leaders of the small tribes who come here to exchange for some millet and daily necessities go back have dry food with them.
There are also access rules in the field, so that although in recent days, there have been gradually tribal warriors in response to the emperor's call, to Dunhua to join the army, near the field, there are camps to place them, but the field can not come in casually, can only see the excitement from a distance, the field, not the market of the Central Plains, if there is no access conditions, the barbarians and even the plunderers can gather people to enter the field, and when the time is good, they will start, and if the timing is bad, they will turn around a few times every three or five.
Ordinary barbarians who really come to this market and want to trade grain and daily necessities can make up a few or more than a dozen households to trade goods and enter the market to trade bulk items.
Of course, most of the people who come here to trade are the big and small people or the stewards they have dispatched.
When Lu Ning came in, he didn't use his identity as the head office, he didn't have any goods, so he paid the usual deposit, and Lu Ning used Bianjing banknotes.
In order to take care of the convenience of the merchants, the silver tickets of the East China Sea Baixing and the banknotes of the three places of Daqi can be used as a deposit, and at the same time, the Rongchang provides silver tickets and banknotes for copper money exchange business.
Qi strictly forbade the outflow of copper coins, but when the merchants traded with each other, they could pay a small proportion of copper coins, after all, bartering could not be particularly accurate.
Although paper money can only be used as a deposit, this rule also made the sides know paper money early, and precious metals are not allowed to circulate in large quantities into the tribes, but if they slowly accept paper money, it will not hurt.
Following Lu Ning was the maid of the Park family, Shanhua, a beautiful girl in a black and white maid dress, who appeared in front of the public for the first time in today's world, attracting countless eyes.
It doesn't matter if she is a good flower, as long as she can please the Emperor of the Central Plains, she is willing to do anything, and she doesn't care about the worldly eyes of others.
Lu Ning felt a little interesting, the concubines and even female officials around him would not dress like this, and they swaggered through the market with a beautiful girl maid, which was really a novelty.
In addition, Lu Ning was followed by Pei Long and Pei Hu, two red-haired demons, who did not look abrupt and terrifying in the many savage-like tribal costumes in this field.
"Hey!" A tribal leader wearing a gold collar around his neck suddenly pointed at Lu Ning and grunted, he was surrounded by a group of wild men in front of him, left and right, and beside him was a long-robed scribe, apparently a temporary interpreter hired from the field.
There are only three interpreters in the field, and most of them provide paid interpreters at very low prices when traders and Buraku people are trading and they are unable to communicate effectively.
But this tribal leader is obviously not a simple person, and it will cost a lot of money to hire an interpreter to follow him.
He wears a gold collar around his neck, his hair is scattered, and he also wears a gold ring, which is even rare, and he wears Central Plains official boots on his feet.
"This gentleman, stay!" The interpreter bowed to Lu Ning, but he was very polite, and even a little disdainful Nu Nuna tribe leader, said: "This guy, a little crazy, Brother Tai Mo pays attention to him, but I passed on his words, Brother Tai is not angry, and don't be like the rough mountain people, he is asking, Brother Tai is here to sell this strange costume of Goryeo maid, he wants to buy it." ”
After all, this Gao Li maid, although very pretty, is simply stunning, but looking at this dress, it is more exposed and bold than the female in the Qinglou, especially, the seductive slender calves are tempting enough, but they are also tightly wrapped in snow-white stockings, which is even more indescribably exciting, which makes this interpreter's heart pound when he sees it, and his eyes are reluctant to leave, and he wants to leave the feeling of nosebleeds.
However, such a costume is swaggering through the market, obviously in the eyes of this son, this Goryeo maid is no different from a pig and a dog, it is estimated that it is also to bring this field, and want to sell it at a super high price, after all, some barbarian heads, there are a lot of cattle and sheep, and there is a very valuable Beizhu, such a pretty Goryeo maid, I am afraid that it will really hook the northern head people to fight.
The interpreter translated, and carefully reminded: "Brother Tai, this guy has some goods, but don't agree easily, wait a minute, let the wind go, and let the chiefs of the Five Nations Department come to bid, most of the chiefs of the Five Nations Department are not very bright, but some are treasures, they all come to bid, Brother Tai must be full!" ”
Obviously, in this field where there are many different races, the interpreter regards Lu Ning as his absolute own person, which helps Lu Ning come up with ideas, and bidding and bidding are obviously a regular behavior in the Qidi business world now.
Lu Ning smiled and waved his hand: "I don't sell it!" ”
Shanhua on the side, only then was he slightly relieved, although he felt that the Son of Heaven would not sell himself to the savages, but after all, he was still a little worried.
Qianqiu Hall and Park Jung-hee, Jin Xue-hee's original words are very blunt, Shanhua and Green Beads, and they are even more sudden learning, sometimes they don't mean words at all, they just listen to each other's words and can understand.
Lu Ning glanced at the head of the tribe and asked curiously, "He is also from the Five Kingdoms Department, who is it?" ”
The interpreter smiled: "He is the third son of the chief of Yueliji, and his name is Hun Chang." ”
Lu Ning bowed slightly, it turned out to be Xiao San Hun Chang, this Yue Li Ji big chief, called Hun Chang, several sons, are also called Hun Chang, there are slight differences in pronunciation, in the official archives of Qi State, the chief is called Da Hun Chang, several sons, in order for Xiao Yi Hun Chang, Xiao Er Hun Chang and so on.
For the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms, Lu Ning was not prepared to use the inherent fetters to canonize the Great Chief as the envoy of the Festival, but prepared the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms to seal a Great Qi Beining Ten Thousand Household Chiefs, and the five tribal chiefs were each named Thousand Household Chiefs, so that although it was a feudal rule, it also made his households, from the name, become the people of Great Qi.
However, now, the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms has not yet sent an envoy to return to Shun, but the son of the big chief of one of them, who looks like a loser similar to the Central Plains.
Lu Ning then had an idea, and smiled at Tongyi: "Wait, you tell her, my love maid is not necessarily not sold, but my love maid is still a virgin, although it is a Goryeo maid, but the literary style is also very good, he wants to buy it, I will listen to the price." ”
The interpreter was stunned for a moment, then smiled, then turned around, ran to the side of the little three, and whispered to him.
Xiao San's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and his gaze is becoming more and more obsessed.
Lu Ning turned around, knocked on Shanhua's shoulder with a folding fan, and then turned back.
Although Emperor Qiren didn't say a word, Shanhua clearly knew that he was telling himself that he would definitely not really sell himself.
Shanhua immediately felt that his heart was agitated, this high-ranking god who looked at his back made people feel dizzy, this is, this is, will he communicate with his little? It's, it's incredible.
Lu Ning squinted at Xiao San, pondering, how to concoct him? How to find a way to make it best to make him take the initiative to propose and gamble with himself.
The Ministry of the Five Kingdoms, even the nominal return to Shun has not replied for a long time, obviously, I still feel that the Khitan people who have been in the northeast for decades have nothing to do with them, the Qi people have just come here, and they may not be able to stand firm in the end, they will not easily come to pay tribute, after all, the tribute of the Qi people is not one of the mutual markets of the previous dynasties, but in the name of the tribute, the tax is levied, because the Qi people, the annual tribute of the property is roughly the size of the set, basically is, how many households in the ministry, every year the number of households will be levied one-third of the cattle, Or a horse for a third of the household, or a sheep for a household, of course, with other specialties, but of the same value.
Moreover, Haidongqing and Beizhu, which were originally popular with the Khitans, were not recognized by the Qi people as tribute.
Naturally, the Ministry of the Five Nations has enough reasons to wait and see for the time being.
However, as far as Lu Ning is concerned, these five ministries seem to be unruly, and they are about to find an opportunity to cause some trouble.
Of course, this kind of incident must not happen to the Holy Son of Heaven of the Qi Kingdom.
Even, the identity of the General Academy of Culture can be used without it.
