Chapter Forty-Nine: Datong Border Town
Seeing that he was full of anger, Xiao Yuan stepped forward timidly and asked in a low voice, "Childe, am I in trouble?" ”
Fang Yuan scratched her pink face and said, "Xiao Yuan, it has nothing to do with you, you come to bother me every day, I have endured her for a long time, and I will not serve her in the future." ”
"Dinner is ready!"
Xiao Yuan turned around and took a few steps, then turned around and said, "Childe, in fact, the princess comes to Childe every day, because she likes to be with Childe!" Childe treated her so viciously, she would be aggrieved and sad. ”
Fang Yuan was stunned, he didn't bother to guess Princess Kunxing's thoughts, just because she was the daughter of Queen Zhou, and he and Queen Zhou, Zhou Kui, the abbot of the country, and the Donglin Party behind them were not all the way.
Will she be wronged and sad, it's my business!
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Xiao Yuan, you do your duty well, you don't know anything about the court." ”
Xiao Yuan nodded lightly and said, "Childe is going out tomorrow, can you take me with you?" I've never seen the Great Wall before! ”
Fang Yuan went to the border town to negotiate with the old department of the Tianxiong Army, and by the way, to see if there was a perfume exchange for war horses, and it was not a trip, it was very inconvenient to take a little girl, "This time I really have something important to do, and when I come back, I will take you to Shanhaiguan to see and understand." ”
Xiao Yuan pouted in disappointment and said softly, "Then I'll go pack my bags for my son." ”
Cao Huachun walked out of the room, beckoned Fang Yuan over, and said straight to the point, "Fang Yuan, now that you are also reused by Your Majesty, it's useless for me to keep it." ”
Fang Yuan was taken aback and asked, "Ah Weng is leaving?" ”
Cao Huachun whispered, "Yes, my brother is seriously ill and dying, and my illness has also improved greatly, and I want to go back to Tianjin to visit relatives." ”
Fang Yuan had already regarded Cao Huachun as a relative in his heart, but he didn't want him to leave, so he hurriedly said, "Ah Weng went to visit his relatives, come back as soon as possible." ”
Cao Huachun shook his head and said, "I have received your wishes, but there are many affairs in the township, and I don't know when I will come to the capital next time." I should have left a few days ago, but seeing that you were in a deep crisis and your ability to deal with it was a little immature, I stayed for more time. Now that you can be on your own, I can leave with peace of mind. ”
Fang Yuan saw that he had made up his mind, so he no longer persuaded him, and hurriedly went to the Taobao system to buy medicines for tuberculosis, physiotherapy instruments, batteries, and all kinds of health care products, which were enough for Cao Huachun for a year, and spent a total of 1,500 taels of silver.
He spent two hours typing the bags, there were dozens of large and small packages, and marked the dosage and usage on the large and small packages.
Fang Yuan found Cao Huachun with the physiotherapy instrument and the battery, and spent another two hours teaching Cao Huachun how to use the physiotherapy device, as well as the installation principle of the battery.
After Cao Huachun was able to operate the physiotherapy device alone and changed the battery, Fang Yuancai said earnestly, "Ah Weng, I bought you medicine for a year, and after a year, I will send someone to bring you medicine again." ”
Fang Yuan did not cross the river and demolish the bridge, but really regarded Cao Huachun as a relative, and everything was arranged very thoughtfully for him.
Cao Huachun looked at him gratefully and said yes repeatedly.
Fang Yuan once again thanked Cao Huachun, the benefactor who promoted him on the road, and when he lowered his head, a few tears fell to the ground again.
In the early morning of the next day, after Fang Yuan and Cao Huachun said goodbye, he explained a few words to the seventh sister-in-law.
He wanted to talk to Xiao Yuan, but there was no trace of this little girl, so he could only lead Jing Jie, as well as twenty brocade guards, with 5,000 taels of silver, to Datong.
Because of the purchase of 1,500 taels of silver for Cao Huachun, Fang Yuan's Taobao points have reached 10,302.5, and he has successfully upgraded to a VIP1 user, and he can open the Yue Bao function.
Before leaving, Fang Yuan deposited all the 10,000 taels of gold and 15,000 taels of silver into the system's Yu'e Bao account.
The system shows that according to the annualized interest of 4%, the daily interest paid by the system for the gold and silver deposited by Fang Yuan is 12.6 taels of silver, which has far exceeded Fang Yuan's monthly salary.
He kept 5,000 taels of silver and did not deposit it in Yue Bao, but carried it with him, in order to dispel the suspicions of Jing Jie and his party of Jinyiwei.
Datong Town is one of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, the nine sides are set up in the north of the Ming Dynasty nine military towns, from east to west are Liaodong Town, Ji Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town, Yulin Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, Gansu Town.
Datong Town, the key point of northern Xinjiang, is the first batch of important military towns established in the nine border towns, because Xuanfu Town is an important trade town inside and outside the Great Wall, so the border town is prosperous and rich.
Now the general soldier of Datong border town is Jiang Zhu, this is a general soldier of the wall grass who Li Zicheng came to surrender and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also surrendered.
Of course, the more famous Datong border town is the so-called Datong mother-in-law, not only in the famous Qinglou prostitution scripture was elected as the first, and Jizhen city wall, Xuanfu teaching field, and became the nine sides of the three unique.
Before the trip, the lustful Qin Zhan was still unwilling, and insisted that Fang Yuan should come to Datong together and buy a Datong woman to go back.
Fang Yuan was very troubled by him, so he could only promise that when he returned to the capital, he would bring him one.
The purpose of Fang Yuan's trip was not in Datong Town, but in Xiangyang Village near the town's border fort, because this village was close to the border of Daming and Mongolia, and it was also a transportation artery for trade.
When Fang Yuan and his party rushed to Xiangyang Village, they did not see the old department of the Tianxiong Army led by Jing Jie's friend of life and death, Yang Zongze.
As soon as everyone inquired in the village, they learned that Yang Zongze and his party of 50 people had formed a caravan and had brought a batch of grassland fur goods to the market outside the town's border fort to sell.
This bazaar is located at the intersection of northern Xinjiang, and the layout style is the same as that of the Western Regions-style bazaar, although it is simple but also simple, with one or two storey simple houses made of kiln clay, a stall on the ground floor is a trade shop, the upper floor is a place to stay, and a basement is isolated by kiln soil or wooden planks for storing food and wine.
Fang Yuan and his entourage entered the main street of the bazaar, because it was already night, most of the shops in the bazaar had been closed, only a few were still faintly bright, and from time to time there were laughter and play, thinking that it was a tavern or brothel that was still open at night.
Fang Yuan and Jing Jie found out in Xiangyang Village the address of the old headquarters of these Tianxiong Army, which was a Hu Feng tavern.
Everyone inquired about the whereabouts of Hu Feng Tavern, bypassed two streets, and finally arrived at the door of Hu Feng Tavern.
A few drunk grassland reckless men at the door, wearing leather armor and carrying iron and steel sabers around their waists, pointed at Fang Yuan and the others, looking unkind, and muttering in their mouths, "Southern barbarian, southern barbarian." ”
In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are still Hu people who dare to humiliate the Han people as southern barbarians, Fang Yuan was furious, and was about to teach these people a lesson, but was stopped by Jing Jie.
Jing Jie whispered, "Boss, these barbarians from the grassland are all coming in groups to do business, and there are at least hundreds of people in a group, and it is very unwise to conflict with them because of a war of words. ”
Fang Yuan forcibly suppressed his anger, got off the horse and asked, "Who is in charge of this bazaar?" ”
Jing Jie also said, "Although this kind of border town market is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, neither the prefecture and county yamen nor the Datong military town can control these grassland barbarians, and the border town market must follow the rules of the market." ”
Fang Yuan was considered to have gained knowledge, and he and Jing Jie dismounted first and just arrived at the door of the tavern.
A bearded Mongolian went out of the door, looked at everyone's line, saw that there was a big business, and was busy smiling, and said Mongolian that Fang Yuan didn't understand.
What Mongolian do you say knowing that we are not Mongolians?
Fang Yuan was about to ask him if he could speak in the original language, but was pulled by Jing Jie and signaled him not to speak.
Jing Jie is quite familiar with Mongolian, and communicates with the bearded man in a fairly fluent Mongolian.
The two talked for a while, the bearded man muttered Mongolian, and led the way in front with a smile on his face, asking Fang Yuan and his party to follow into the tavern.
Fang Yuan was stunned and asked, "Third child, what did you say?" ”
Jing Jie said truthfully, "I said that we are here to do business, and we will live in the market for five days, and we want ten upper rooms, and he said that there are only three rooms. I said that my mother was Mongolian, and that I was still half a relative of him, and asked him to give him more rooms, so he vacated two more rooms. ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Your mother is really Mongolian? ”
Jing Jie smiled and said, "How is that possible?" These Mongols in northern Xinjiang regarded the Ming Dynasty as an enemy from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and since these years in the northern Xinjiang were beaten to the ground by the Houjin, Liaodong, Mongolia, and Korea were all lost, and they looked down on the Ming people who only dared to hide on the city wall and magnify the cannon. If you don't get closer, I'm afraid it will cause other troubles. ”
Fang Yuan sighed secretly, what Jing Jie said was a wise saying, the country is not strong, the common people are undignified wherever they go, the war in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty is a mess, how can these brave and ruthless Mongolians be convinced? didn't go directly to the knife to grab it, it was already for the sake of Jing Jie being 'half a Mongolian', and he wanted two more rooms, which was a fool's dream.
