Chapter Seventy-Two: Peace and Women
In the end, the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement for an unknown year. Nothing else is basically the same as nothing.
Then Mengus was gone. Of course, if he didn't have those Tatars who were snatched away by Qin Cang, Qin Cang wouldn't have returned them to him. The sincerity of the agreement reached by the two sides is very limited, and even the sunset agreement signed by Conrador and Qin Cang is not known how many times better than this unseemly thing on the table.
By the way, regarding the territory, the parties reached a delicate agreement. Starting from the great lake of Chabala's family, all those to the south are Qin Cang's. This is the only taste of the winners.
Therefore, there was only one last trouble left in front of Qin Cang.
Marry a wife.
Marrying a wife with a person from the grassland people is very simple, two ways to try, pay money or rob people.
Well, it's actually a marriage robbery and a betrothal.
The former, of course, picked up the guy and rushed to her house to snatch people away; The latter is to bring a dowry that can blind the eyes of the opposite dog to the door to ask for marriage. And there is a way for this marriage proposal.
Generally, parents have to reject you three or five times before agreeing. Isn't it very much like the mainland of Chinese people?
Actually, it's all pretty much the same. If you propose marriage once and your parents agree, doesn't it seem that your daughter is very lowly? So there is a custom of refusing a few more times.
Then it was customary to set up a new tent for marriage, drink him for three days and three nights, and dance around the campfire. If this set of processes is followed, it will be considered marriage. So in the world, no matter where it is, getting married is a very troublesome thing.
And in order to avoid extraneous complications, Qin Cang only brought Meng Zhuoyan and dozens of attendants.
proposed, in order to leave this place that is not in his control as soon as possible, Hadji Gray did not pretend to refuse, but won the battle at one time.
"What's your proposal? My son-in-law? Haji Gelai was very curious about the gift that Qin Cang had sent. Because very few people are able to give a gift that satisfies Haji Gelai's wishes.
Meng Zhuoyan commanded the attendants to move the wooden box up. A large waist-high box for five people.
Then, behind Haji Glei, a figure came out. She wears a long lilac dress with a lilac veil. Qin Cang couldn't see her face clearly, but looking at that tall and graceful figure, it should be a pretty good young woman.
"Sophia, you shouldn't have come out." Haji Glei's complaints are clearly not very powerful. This seemingly characterful khanate princess is quite assertive.
"Theoretically, yes. But I want to see what kind of person my future husband will be. You know, he already has two wives, and I can't afford to be left behind. The lilac woman sat there, inexplicably giving Qin Cang the feeling of seeing a violet.
Haji Gray looked at Qin Cang. The meaning is already obvious.
"Open it."
The wooden box is cracked open by a crowbar, and what is exposed inside leaves Haji Gelle and Princess Sofia in shock!
That's rows of shiny sabers!
"My ancestors left me three hundred sabers. That's why I've gone from being a poor boy to now. Then, I will use the three hundred sabers I have built as a dowry to win Her Royal Highness the princess, who is very important to me! ”
Qin Cang's self-confidence is for a reason. Three hundred beautifully forged and razor-sharp sabers are the love of the Tatars that they will never escape! If a pile of gold were put here and a Tatar and a Han Chinese were to choose, the Tatars would not hesitate to take the saber, and the Han would take the gold, which is a national difference.
The exquisite saber attracted the attention of all the Tatars present. Haji Gray didn't even have time to wipe the saliva from his mouth before he got up and jumped off. He picked up his saber and pulled it out with a thud.
He loved this charismatic guy to death.
"If only you could sell me this kind of treasure every month in the future!" Hadji Gray got a little carried away with excitement.
Sold to you every month? Are you dreaming?
Qin Cang smiled in his heart. Although the cost is not high, how can this kind of weapon be handed over to you?
"A hundred a year. Couldn't be more. We don't have that many blacksmiths, and mining requires manpower. If you're willing to provide me with a certain amount of slave mining every year, this batch of sabers is free. Qin Cang's seductive proposal was immediately approved by Haji Gelai.
"No problem. Someone will give you 500 Slavic slaves later. Ha ha! ”
Five hundred Slavic slaves, enough energy. But compared to Qin Cang's three hundred sabers, it was not enough.
"It's not enough, my father-in-law. There has never been a custom where the dowry is less than the dowry. Qin Cang shook his head, making Haji Gray a little embarrassed.
If the woman's dowry is less than the man's dowry, she will be ridiculed.
"And what do you want?"
"I'm going to form my caravans, I need them to be unimpeded inside the Crimean Khanate." Qin Cang grinned, "By the way, you can establish a trading station in some places." ”
"It's not a problem." Haji Gelai didn't realize the trap in Qin Cang's words. In the Crimean Khanate, following the Mongol custom, merchants were protected. Of course, this protection is also subject to commissions. High commercial taxes were a major benefit for the Tatar feudal lords. So the caravans that paid the merchant tax were liked by the nobles. Qin Cang's behavior was simply sending money to Haji Gelai, so Haji Gelai didn't realize that something was wrong.
As for the business stack? There are many people who have established a merchant inn in the Crimean Khan, and there is no shortage of Qin Cang.
The rest of course fell into place.
Sophia Grey, who was very satisfied with the gift sent by Qin Cang, was very happy to accept a king's proposal to her.
Then, two days later, in front of the newly built wedding tent made of white wool, a bonfire soared into the sky, and hundreds of Tatars happily gathered around to eat and drink. At the end, they held hands and sang and danced outside the bonfire.
Joy fills everyone's mind at this moment.
"I thought you were a rough brute." The elegant female voice made Qin Cang a little uncontrollable.
"Of course not. The Greeks called us Cyrias. I think you understand what that means. Your name is common among the Greeks, isn't it? I remember that in Italy, there were also many people who took the name of Sofia. ”
Qin Cang walked to the bed.
"Of course. Our mother was the younger sister of the Trabzon Absolute Monarchy...... O kings with long sleeves and good dancers, always try in vain to exchange women for peace. Sophia sighed, and then he was picked up by Qin Cang and pressed under him.
"Oh! I won't. I like to trade peace for women! ”
