At this time, Xiao Er had already brought up the food at a flowing price, and it was indeed Mongolian flavor, only to see that there were shredded lamb shoulders, lamb belly hot pot, lamb feet hot pot, stir-fried lamb liver, dry pot lamb chops, soft loin, roasted lamb whip, gastrodia stewed sheep brain, sheep ball soup, and everything on the sheep was brought.

Hui Ming sat alone at a small table at the door and ate his vegetarian food, and it was obvious that five or six people couldn't finish eating so many dishes, Zhu Youxiao looked at the guards standing by the door and said, "Open another table, take a little less of these dishes and let us eat the rest, and take the rest to them to eat." ”

Li Banghua said: "The young master's family will eat, I'll arrange for them to eat." After that, let Xiao Er arrange the guards' diet, Zhu Youxiao, Ke and Duan Ying stayed at the original table, Wei Zhongxian wanted to stand up and wait, Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's sit together, Chengen and Chaoqin also sit down and have a good meal." ”

At this time, Xiao Er came to the wine and said: "Guest officer, this is authentic soju, which was originally sold to the Mongolians, and the taste is extremely strong, please use it slowly." ”

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "Give it to another table, we don't need soju here, but we can have rice wine, and the ladies can drink a little." ”

Xiao Er brought the wine to the guard's table, Li Banghua's eyes widened, and everyone didn't dare to move the wine. And Ke and Duan Ying drank sweet rice wine, ate mutton, and praised the flavor of this place, which is really different from the capital.

The wine is not enough and the meal is full, and everyone comes out of the restaurant either satisfied or unsatisfied. Li Banghua wanted to take Zhu Youxiao to his residence, and Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's take a walk and take a look at the style of Biansai, it is rare for me." ”

Li Banghua looked at Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian hesitated and said, "The guards are sufficient, and there is no problem in terms of security." It's hard to come out once, so how about a walk? ”

Li Banghua had no choice but to go shopping together. The business here is very developed, but in fact, there are not many Mongolian goods, at most they are just small gadgets such as leather horse boots and whips, and the large number is some daily necessities to be sold to Mongolia. ”

No one else understood what he said, in a trading house, Duan Ying bought a pair of riding boots and a horse whip with great interest, and Zhu Youxiao asked him to buy a saddle that looked very good, and said, "If you have time on the road, I will let you ride a horse." Duan Ying was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

At this time, a Mongolian man next to him quarreled with the shopkeeper, and the guards immediately rushed up and pushed the Mongolian man to the ground. The Mongol man shouted, "You have deceived us like this, and we are going to tell your emperor." ”

Li Banghua stepped forward and said, "How he deceived you, you can tell me about it." ”

The man said: "I have two cows and five sheep, and I only replaced two iron pots and one cotton cloth, and I asked him to send a clay pot, but he didn't do it." ”

Li Banghua looked at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said unhurriedly: "This distinguished guest, according to our market price, a cow is two yuan, five sheep is one yuan, a total of three yuan, and two iron pots are one plus two hundred copper coins, and a piece of cloth is two yuan, I originally charged him two hundred copper coins less, and he also wants a clay pot, so how can it be done?" ”

Li Banghua said to the Mongolians: "Do you understand? He has already given you the profit, what are you arguing about? ”

The Mongol man said, "I won't settle accounts, but I know that two cows and five sheep can't be worth so much, and I'm going to tell our Great Khan that you are specifically deceiving us." ”

Li Banghua shouted: "Since you can't settle accounts, why do you say that others deceive you?" I'll ask the store to give you a crockpot, and you won't have to make any more noise if you take it, how about it? ”

When the man heard that he could get a crockpot, he immediately agreed, and the shopkeeper brought him a small crockpot, and he went away rejoicing.

Zhu Youxiao watched the whole process and asked, "I don't think it's right for two cows and five sheep to exchange such a little thing." ”

Li Banghua replied: "It's not that the store deceived him, the price is set like this, although the store makes a lot of money, but this is reasonable and legal, to blame the Han people who set the price, not the Mongolians, cattle and sheep are not necessary for us, and cloth and iron are necessities for the Mongolians." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, in the era when he came, China was often like the situation encountered by this Mongolian, his own things could not be sold, and the things he needed were shouted at a high price, so of course he would suffer. He hopes that in this world, it will always be Chinese, not foreigners, who can set prices. And to do this, first of all, we should make China the most powerful country in the world, and this is the goal of coming into this world.

Out of the shop, Zhu Youxiao said: "In the future, the exchange should also formulate a charter, and it can't be too much to the Mongols, so that the contradiction with them can be eased." ”

Li Banghua nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is that the Mongols have no choice, knowing that they will be bullied or have to exchange, although we have made some money, it will make the Mongols hate the Ming people more, if there are rules to follow, the Mongols can make us hate us less." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Li Qing will take the lead in this matter, and after inspecting the border areas, he will come up with a plan, discuss it with the local government and the army, take into account the interests of all parties, and submit it at that time, and the cabinet will promulgate it for implementation after reading it." ”

I stayed in Xuanfu Town that night, and the weather was very good the next day, so I took the boat directly from the dock to Qian'an.

Starting from Xuanfu Town, it is smooth water, and there is no problem with the boat, but after arriving at the Chaohe River, it is a boat against the current, and there must be a slender man pulling fiber. Seeing those barefoot and backless slender men pulling the rope with difficulty, Ke and Duan Ying couldn't bear it and asked Zhu Youxiao to go by land.

Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "Now we want them to pull the fiber, so that they can have the income to support themselves." Your kindness will end up depriving them of food and clothing. These people actually endure hardship, whether they are in the army or immigrants, they are excellent. After going back this time, I will step up my immigration efforts. The steam engine should also be built as soon as possible, so that there will be no need for people to pull the fiber. ”

The two of them gave up. There was nothing to say all the way, and after the Chaohe River was over, everyone changed to the land route and lived in Liuhe.

This is the Miyun guard, the whole road is about more than 30 miles, because it is in the mountains, so the road is not easy to walk, at least the carriage can not walk, so the Keshi is carried by the guards in a sedan chair, and the others ride horses.

When they had traveled about twenty miles, a stockade appeared in front of them. The guide said that this village is called Heiyu, and it is inhabited by Miyunwei's tun army, which is about ten miles away from the Liuhe River.

Zhu Youxiao ordered to rest in Heiyu, and by the way, to see how the life of the Tun army in the deep mountains was.
