The northwest border pass, the world is vast.

At the foot of Montenegro, the Mongols carved out a town to entertain Song merchants.

Countless flocks of sheep and horses were driven here in exchange for necessities of life, and the iron pot is not worth much in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is a treasure on the grassland.

Most of the people who came to buy and sell in these grass gardens were from the Bai Dadan tribe, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

For ordinary herders, the benefits of opening the market are immediate.

You raise a number of cattle and sheep, if you eat meat alone, you can feed your family of four, take half of the cattle and sheep for food, you can feed a family of six, and you can save some savings, how do you choose?

Moreover, food is easy to store, so nomads do not have to encounter extreme cold weather or herd plagues, and can only rob or starve to death.

Among the chaotic crowd, there were many men from Guanzhong, who also came to sell horses.

Walking in the bustling bazaar, these people tend to compare which horses are stronger, and find a few who can speak the language, and bargain with the horse herdsmen.

When it comes to bargaining, the Mongols, who have just started to trade with each other, are obviously no match for Han merchants, but they should gradually become more savvy.

It is conceivable that after the opening of the tea and horse trade route, a large number of horse dealers will inevitably pour into this place.

In addition to the Mongols and Han Chinese, there are also Dangxiang people, Qiang people, Khitan people...

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs in the market, and I saw a few guys holding signboards to help their shopkeepers recruit people.

There is no shortage of labor on the grassland, and if you go to Dingzhou to work and make a little effort, you can exchange for a few bags of grain and good wine made by the Han people, which is a very cost-effective thing for the herdsmen on the grassland.

Many men of different races with strange hairstyles obediently lined up, waiting for their Han employers to take them to the horse-drawn carriage heading south.

The original land of Western Xia is now in ruins, and there is a need for strong laborers everywhere.

The entire border, a quiet and peaceful scene, if there is no change, it is conceivable that it will become more and more prosperous.

It's a pity that the border has never been a place of peace, no matter what race or national strength it is, sooner or later, this peace will be broken.

The current peace is even more precious, the Great Song Dynasty, which has not yet fallen, and Mongolia, which has not yet risen, have been entangled with old enemies for more than 50 years, enjoying a rare honeymoon period.

Groups of military men shuttled through the bazaar, picking suitable horses.

These people are connoisseurs, and they know the color of the horses when they reach out and touch them, and the Mongols like these guests the most.

They are generous, and they buy the whole herd of horses, and there is definitely enough food to exchange, which saves a lot of time,

In a military village not far from Montenegro, Yao Gu listened to Yang Keshi's report and said with a smile: "It's still Shaozai's long-term thinking, we have the old land of Xixia, a natural horse breeding land, and we really shouldn't buy horses everywhere." However, now that the formation of cavalry is imminent, we can only buy a large number of emergency responses. ”

Yang Keshi licked his lips and said, "Shuai Xuan, let's talk about it, my white army wants three thousand war horses." ”

Yao Gu glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "I can still hack your horse, or do you think I don't count my words, it's just a mere three thousand war horses, we didn't have anything else to do with it before, and now we can't get more or less horses." ”

The Northwest Jiangmen is this confidence, as soon as they come, they themselves have money, and the imperial court has made up for three years' military salaries at once.

The military salary they paid for the imperial court in three years was taken back at once, which really made them have a lot of money.

Yang Keshi smiled very brightly, showed two rows of teeth, and shouted: "In that case, take an oath, I'll go pick a horse." ”

Yao Gu waved his hand and scolded, "Hurry up and get out." ”

Looking at Yang Keshi's back, Yao Gu contemplated with his eyes, Yang Shaozai asked everyone to prepare a place to raise horses, but the pasture here was still controlled by the party members.

When Western Xia was defeated, in order to quickly eliminate the rebels, the imperial court promised that those who surrendered would not confiscate his wealth, including pastures.

Is it to let the party people raise horses, or is it enough to see a party cavalry and use them as a source of soldiers?

Yao Gu shook his head and said to himself: "These things should be left to the old man to avoid the headache, I will buy my own horse, train the fine horse, and wait for the fame to make a great contribution." ”

----

In Zhaode Fang, several bushes of bamboo swayed gently, covering a small stone path among the flowers.

At the end of the path, there is a stone gate with hanging flowers, and when he sees that there is no one in the courtyard, he quickly lifts the hem of his clothes and trots along the stone path, and goes straight into an elegant embroidery building with flying eaves and corners.

A delicate girl on the embroidery floor was anxiously turning in circles, and only when she saw Chong Guiyi did she breathe a sigh of relief, and her tone was not lacking in complaining: "Miss, you are back, I'm going to die in a hurry!" ”

These maids were sent by the Northwest breeder, who grew up serving the seed Guiyi, after they came, the courage of the little peach grew, and there was no father to manage it, and the cultivation of Guiyi became more and more lawless.

She didn't take off her shoes, so she lay on the bed, exposing half of her head and chuckling outside the curtain: "Have you been here?" ”

Another maid came in with water at this time, pouting and complaining, "Miss, this time is different from the past, you can't go on like this." Do you say you're running into the backyard again, where a bunch of goblin kids have heard they've even caught big worms, and you sneak up again, and be careful that the big worms bite you. ”

On the bamboo couch of Xiangfei, Xiao Taozi kicked off her shoes, her clothes were light, but she couldn't stand the heat, and she just ran in from outside, and the tip of her nose was already slightly sweaty.

After listening to the advice of the maid Zhiqin, the little thing was very disdainful, and even disdained to refute.

While kicking his feet, he stretched out his hand and said, "I want to eat cheese with frosting, hurry up and bring it to me." ”

Zhiqin pinched her waist and said angrily: "I still eat, Miss eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and plays, and she is about to become a ball." ”

Little Peach's nose wrinkled, and her feet deftly picked up the mud-stained shoes and threw them at Zhiqin, so frightened that she quickly dodged and dodged.

Impartially, smashed on the head of Yang Lin, who had just come in, with a small pocket shoe on his head, Yang Lin's face was not good.

The rebellious peach planted in the period quickly turned over, and obediently lowered his hand and said, "Brother." ”

The voice is so sweet that it gets tired of dying of people...

Zhiqin couldn't help but laugh and took off his shoes from his head, Yang Lin listened outside for a while, and secretly said in his heart that this problem girl should be taken care of.

Since coming to her side and losing her restraints, she has become more and more disagreeable.

Yang Lin sat down at the table and asked, "Where have you been?" ”

Chong Guiyi's eyes rolled, and he smiled sweetly: "It's hot, I'm going to chisel ice for my brother." ”

With a crisp sound of "pop", Little Peach screamed, jumped up with her hot little buttocks, and looked at Yang Lin with an unkind face in horror.

Zhiqin and Zhihua pointed at the side and said with a smile: "Da Lang played well, Miss has to take care of it." ”

"You two traitors!"

Yang Lin laughed angrily, pressed her to her lap, and slapped her a few more times, and the tears of the painful little peach rushed out, fluttering her calves and crying: "Help, help, brother spare my life." ”

Yang Lin slapped and said, "You guys clean up, I may go to Yan'an Mansion in the near future, and we will go back together when the time comes." Well, the little girl's butt meat has indeed grown a lot, and it feels good. ”

The two maids covered their mouths and stepped forward with a smile: "Da Lang, take it easy, the child is small, don't break her." ”
