Chapter 193: Leveraging the Salt Gang
"Okay, what the adults say, how good." Baturu said in deep fear.
Before he came, the officials of the Great Honglu Temple warned him that he must serve this man well, otherwise, no one would be able to protect him. This Baturu came to see him as if he had stepped on a ghost gate, and before leaving, he wrote a suicide note to his family and put it in the yamen, telling his colleagues that if he did not return, he would ask his colleagues to hand over the suicide note to his family.
"In this way, I will take a good public leave for you in the Great Honglu Temple, and every day I will send someone to pick you up when I have time, and send you back after studying, and you will be in charge of the rest of the time." Besides.
Baturu nodded vigorously.
"Ji Chang, give this two hundred taels of silver first, calculate the tuition I paid in advance, and pay the rest after I finish studying." Besides, he commanded.
"Don't dare, the lowly post is ordered to come, and I don't dare to ask for the adult's silver."
"If you give it to you, I will never use people in vain. By the way, bring me more Mongolian books from you. ”
Baturu's head was buzzing, frightened, but he understood the words and nodded again and again.
Mongolian books are very easy to handle, and he has a bunch of them in his hands, just like the average Xiucai has four books and five classics at home. You don't need to go to the library or the history museum to find it.
Besides, after speaking, he motioned to Ji Chang to send this Baturu back.
Ji Chang patted Baturu on the shoulder and smiled: "Let's go, brother, I'll send someone to see you off." When you go back, you need to adjust your schedule and get more sleep during the day. ”
He knew that adults often stayed up all night, and if he really wanted to learn, Baturu would have to stay up all night with him.
"Uh-huh." Baturu agreed and followed Ji Chang away.
Besides, continue to watch the students practice, it is really different to have him or not, standing here with him, it is an invisible spur, the students do not feel tired even if they are tired, and continue to practice energetically.
"My lord, which Mongolian girl do you have a crush on? But the Mongols in Beijing are all Chinese. After Ji Chang sent someone to send Baturu back, he approached and asked with a salivating face.
"Mongolian girl? How dare you think about it. Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with this, and don't ask more. "Besides, wave your hand.
Near noon, someone came looking for him again.
The person who came was a businessman in his forties, with two people who looked like him, and he was about to bow his head when he saw it.
"No need to be polite, may I ask your surname?" Besides, when you see this man, you know what's going on.
"The villain is the head of Beijing here, and his surname is Liu, and his name is three watches. Miss Xiangjun said that the adults have something to tell me? The person nodded and said.
"Brother Liu is the helmsman of your gang here, right?" Besides, he asked in a low voice.
"What is the helmsman, it is all the name of the rivers and lakes, and it is not worth mentioning in front of adults." Liu San said with a smile.
"Brother Liu, I have some things I want to ask, and there are some things that may trouble your brothers, let's find a place to talk."
Besides, he took these three people into the city, found a remote restaurant, asked for a private room, and after sitting down, Liu San smiled and said: "I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet the adults in person, our big dragon head has said, it's okay not to disturb the adults." If the adults have orders, we will not hesitate to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire. ”
"Well, it's not that serious. I'll talk about that later. ”
After the wine and food came up, he first accompanied Liu Sangen to drink two glasses, and the two long entourages were accompanied by Ji Chang's guards on the table outside, and Ji Chang personally asked people to guard the door of the private room.
"Brother Liu, that's the case, your gang also has personnel in Tatar, right?" Besides, he asked.
Hearing this, Liu San smiled even more bitterly, he couldn't answer this, if there was, it was a crime to kill his head, which was bigger than the crime of selling illicit salt, and it was a crime of treason for collaborating with the enemy. But no one would believe it if they didn't.
Of course, the Tatars also had to eat salt, and if they couldn't buy it from the imperial court, they had to buy it from the merchants at a high price, and the salt gang certainly wouldn't miss this good opportunity to make a fortune.
"I'm not asking about this in an official capacity, and out of this door, we have forgotten about today's meeting, if your gang has a business there, let's just if, then if I want a safe roadmap for entering and exiting the Tatar tribes, it should be possible, right?" Besides, he said.
Liu San smiled bitterly, and pondered again and again, before he reluctantly spoke: "My lord, this is what your old man asked, others will not say a word when they ask me, if it is just if, it is not true, it is if, it is if, we may know such a road map." ”
Besides, when I heard it, I was happy in my heart, this is a drama, if Liu San is more sealed, he will have no problem, after all, there is no evidence at all, that is, there is evidence, he has nothing to do and doesn't want to tear his face with the Salt Gang, after all, because of Xiangjun's matter, he and the Salt Gang still have incense.
He originally guessed that the Salt Gang would have some power on the Mongolian Plateau, but he didn't expect it to be a good guess.
"Well, let's assume again, just if. If my people go deep into the Tatar tribes, their identities are exposed, and they are hunted down, is it possible for the people of your gang there to send my people out safely? ”
Hearing this, Liu San was even more calm, if he just provided a road map, although it was nothing to take a little risk, if he wanted to protect the people who transported him, that is, the people of the imperial court, he would offend the local tribes, and even offend the people at the top, and the people of the Salt Gang there would be in danger of being killed.
"My lord's forgiveness, this villain has to ask the big dragon head, and only the big dragon head can decide this matter."
"Okay, tell your big leader, I will fulfill his previous agreement with me at the end of this year or early next year."
A trace of hesitation flashed on Liu Sangen's face, he didn't know about the agreement with the Salt Gang.
"Just bring me what I said." Besides.
"Definitely, the villain must bring it to the original words, and not a word will be wrong." After Liu Sangen finished speaking, he was really afraid that he would make a mistake, so he went to the counter to ask for a pen and paper, and wrote it in front of him, of course, just writing that he would fulfill the previous agreement at the end of the year or early next year, and did not say who was with whom, let alone say anything.
"Also, if all of the above are true, I may need a dozen of your identity cards at that time, as well as a way to contact your people, of course, these may not be used, just as a means of preparation." Besides.
"Okay, the villain will ask the big dragon head to ensure that the adult will be restored as soon as possible." Liu San said solemnly.
He was still under pressure in his heart, lest he would have a problem with him, but now he can ask the big dragon leader for everything, and even if there is a big problem in the future, he will not be responsible, so he is relaxed now.
Besides, I chatted with Liu Sangen about the Mongolian Plateau, but unfortunately this guy knows very little, he has never been to the Mongolian Plateau, and has been in charge here in Beijing.
Besides, I am not disappointed, if the Salt Gang is really willing to help, the problem will be much easier.
Entering the Mongolian Plateau is not a matter of many masters, the Salt Gang has been operating there for many years, there must be many hideouts, and there will be many safe routes, and they can also have friendships with some tribal leaders, so if they really want to bring people in, even if they encounter some trouble, they should be able to get out alive.
Don't say anything else, in a strange and dangerous situation, a guide who is familiar with the road is more useful than a few masters, the grassland desert, it will not be easy to identify the path, and even if there is a Sinan needle, it may not be able to solve the problem.
Besides, he didn't leave immediately after eating, he didn't want people to see him walking with the Salt Gang.
He thought about learning Mongolian and smiled, not arrogant, learning a language in two months is really not difficult for him, he has experience in this area.
In his previous life, there was a classmate who learned the basic dialogue of a language in three months and could read the most basic reading materials, and the second language he opened in college was Japanese, which he basically mastered in half a year.
However, the English and Japanese he learned were both modern languages, and he did not know what English and Japanese were like in the 17th century, nor did he know if he could communicate smoothly.
Japanese is not important, even the real Wako now speak Chinese, and the official occasions of the Wa Kingdom are still fully used in ancient Chinese. He remembered that Japan's surrender document in World War II was in Chinese in full text, without a single katakana, and the imperial family still maintained the traditions of their ancestors at that time.
However, he estimates that the current popular language in Europe should be French, English has not yet reached the top peak of the world's languages, French is the common pursuit of Western countries, Russian aristocrats not only learn French, usually speak and write articles in French, only the middle and lower classes will use Russian.
Balzac's novels were popular all over the world, and because of the absolute dominance of the French language at the time, Paris was also sought after as the capital of the world.
At that time, China was still considered a mythical country in the West, full of gold jewelry, porcelain, silk, not to mention tea, at that time, only the royal families of various countries could afford to use Chinese porcelain, and China also had the title of porcelain country, and only the royal family could afford to drink Chinese tea.
"Two months is a bit tighter, if you can't memorize the text first, and then memorize some popular books, you can basically master the dialogue, but if you can't speak well, you just pretend to be confused and pick what you can say."
What he wants to solve most is the name of the medicinal herb, he wants to blend into the Tatar tribe as a doctor, but even if it is written on paper, he can't not know the name of the medicinal herb, and he will be arrested immediately if he writes it in Chinese, and it is difficult to say whether he will be beheaded or trampled to death by other people.
The Mongols used torture by trampling thousands of horses over people and crushing them to death.
After thinking about these things for a while, he got up and walked out.
"My lord, go back to the yamen or go to the big school?" Ji Chang asked.
"Well, let's go to Xiangjun." Besides.
He wanted to see Li Xiangjun, not for a secret meeting, but for the middle of the night yesterday to alarm Li Xiangjun, she must be very worried, and it was still necessary to explain it in the past.
"My lord, why don't I send someone to invite Mrs. Li back." Ji Changdao.
"No, she must be waiting for me at home." And it's very sure.
