Sun Jingting waved his hand and said: "We are also businessmen, and businessmen only want to make money, not to fold their capital." Although you support it, you have paid all the daily expenses of the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no reason for you to bear more. If you really support the Chamber of Commerce, you can help with your own strength outside the daily life of the Chamber of Commerce, but we will calculate the money according to the price, and we will not ask you to discount the cost, and even have profits to take. ”

The influence of Heyusheng's chamber of commerce is mainly in Datong, after all, the time on the grassland is too short, and the influence on the local ordinary Han people is not enough, Zhang Han and Sun Jingting plan to recruit more people and soldiers among the tens of thousands of local Han people, and even use these Han people to enrich the cavalry.

Although Datong is a border county, there are already a lot of people who can ride horses, several times more than the mainland, but the number is still insufficient, although the Han people on the grassland are farming or businessmen, but they will always ride horses every day, after all, the grassland is too big, if you don't know how to ride a horse, it is too difficult, and even many Han people have grown on horseback, and even many Han people have been contaminated with a lot of Mongolian customs.

Zhang Ziming was shocked: "The acres of land, as well as the manpower of the Han merchants and Han people on the grassland, can also graze horses, raise cattle and sheep, Lord Zhang is really calculating, generous, and a big game of chess." ”

Zhang Hanruo was sure to meet Zhang Ziming's last sentence, but Sun Jingting accepted it calmly, and he said solemnly: "If everything can go well, it will naturally make me and Yusheng's strength jump a few steps, so we will do our best to do this well in the next two years." ”

Only then did everyone vaguely understand what was going on with Yusheng's "going north" that was out of the wind a while ago!

It turned out that this northward march was not just to face and solve the hostility and threat of the Tumut Ministry, but to do such a big article.

Fu Qingming said: "What should I do next?" ”

Sun Jingting said: "Bansheng City can't be defended, and everyone will move in batches from now on, but in order to make Qingcheng feel at ease, Zhao and I will stay in the city, and we will be the last to evacuate...... When everyone leaves Bansheng City, the nearby Han villages will not suffer from the pond fish. ”

"Where are we moving to?"

"Dahei River, Xiaohei River, Xinghe Imperial Palace and other places to build a large number of military forts, the fort is more than three miles long, in addition to the military camp and warehouses will also have chambers of commerce and firms, our mainland businessmen are generally unable to go north by themselves, are to come in the form of chambers of commerce, you can also have your own firms and branches in addition to joining the chamber of commerce, of course, you can also live in the fort. According to the plan of the Military Administration, some streets will be set aside in the city for people, about 20 streets, each street lives about 20 households, this has been planned in advance, if you are interested, you can move to our military fort. ”

A three-mile military fort is actually about the same as the smallest county seat, generally a five-six-mile circumference county town generally lives about 10,000 to 30,000 people, the three-mile-long military fort, according to the plan, is 400 households, an average of six people live about 2,400 people, and then together with the garrison and the Chamber of Commerce and business personnel, the population should be about 5,000, and the number of people in the three-mile military fort is not much, even if it is accompanied by the temporary foreign population, it will not be too crowded.

Fu Qingming said with a smile: "I have been to Li Zhuang once in Xia, if the military fort is designed like Li Zhuang, I am willing to move the family to live in the military fort." ”

To live in the military fort with Yusheng, of course, safety considerations come first, but if you can live more comfortably, no one will object.

There are indeed many people here who have been to Lizhuang, and they are also very envious of the overall design and residential conditions of Lizhuang, and the overall beauty and comfort are not comparable to the Mongolians, even the rest of Datong can not be compared.

"Of course you live in the compound area," Sun Jingting said: "It will also attract some ordinary people to move in, so that they can do some auxiliary chores, they live in a small courtyard, and the residence of the proprietors should be bigger and more comfortable, of course, it is also planned like Li Zhuang." ”

Even if they knew that this was a series of plans with Yusheng, everyone present was all moved.

can ensure safety, can confront the northern captives, can continue to cooperate and make a fortune, live comfortably, I believe that all kinds of supplies and Yusheng's ability will not be a problem, even if it is to attract Han people from Bansheng to the military fort area, such sincerity is enough.

Compared with the arrogance and lofty attitude of Tabu Nang and others, Fu Qingming and others also felt the sincerity and modest attitude of He Yusheng, compared with the two, what else do you need to say?

Sun Jingting said: "If you don't object, the people I brought will have a plan to relocate......

Zhang Ziming said: "I must follow in the next place, as far as I know, there are many people in the city who are willing to go." ”

Fu Qingming said: "The Xiaju clan is willing to follow." ”

Another merchant said, "I'm also going with the whole clan." ”

Just now, everyone was still a little scared and suffering from gains and losses, after Sun Jingting finished talking with everyone, everyone was eager to leave immediately, and the whole clan moved away!

There are about less than 30,000 Han people in the whole Tumut, distributed in the eight major Bansheng lands dominated by Bansheng City, there are about 1,500 households in Bansheng City, less than 10,000 people, and if you are a merchant alone, it should be 5 or 600 households, between 2,000 and 3,000 people.

Just now, everyone was still hesitating, and now they are afraid that there will not be enough places to live.

Sun Jingting laughed, he said: "Xiaohehe Fort alone can accommodate nearly 3,000 people, and if it is crowded, it will be 5,000, and such a big fort will be built into six to eight in a year, but please rest assured." ”

……

The raging fire burned in front of Ah Cheng Taiji, and several small Taiji next to him all looked proud.

It was already the beginning of April, and the situation of the construction of Heyusheng's military fort was not very clear here, and recently Ah Cheng and others had devoted all their energy to harassing Heyusheng's convoy to the west of the set and Ordos.

A few small Taiji around Ah Cheng are the helpers sent by Jinong Silen Erdeni, they also deeply hate the Han people for earning their respective tribes' war horses, cattle and sheep, and a large number of leather goods outflow, although the herdsmen have grain and vegetables, they also buy all kinds of Han treasures and fine silk, but everyone feels bad about this kind of fair trade, the Mongols have a strong sense of superiority and self-confidence, they feel that the Han people's things should be their own...... In fact, the best Han merchants on the steppe did was the agent of Da Taiji, and the Mongolian nobles were more ugly, naked, and violent than the Ming Dynasty, and Yusheng not only made money, but also made significantly higher profits than these nobles, which naturally caused strong jealousy.

It is not so much that these nobles are angry because of the Su Nan affair, but that it is just an outburst of long-term antipathy.

"Eleven cars, five drivers killed, three merchant soldiers......" Ah Cheng looked at the embers of the convoy and pondered: "Recently, they have shrunk a lot, the size of the convoy is getting smaller and smaller, and the road is getting closer and closer. ”

This time they attacked the convoy between the two branches of the West Road, there were only eleven vehicles, and the guards were about a flag team, and the convoy was discovered not long after the convoy went out of the battle, and then the coachman was escorted by the soldiers and fought and retreated, because the distance was too close, and it was already a very good result to be able to kill eight people.

After the convoy personnel hid at the supply station, Ah Cheng and the others gave up automatically.

Although they had 2,000 cavalry, the supply stations were all courtyards made of bricks, the walls were thick, there were a large number of perforations near the gate, and the firearms of a flag team plus small artillery were not breached without paying hundreds of casualties.

Of course, because of this kind of attack, almost all of Heyusheng's sub-sites in the west were closed, which also led to more personnel stationed at the remaining sites, and the difficulty of attacking doubled.

"Ah Cheng Taiji, and Yusheng's supply depot has almost been withdrawn, and the trade route has also stopped." A small Taiji said to Ah Cheng: "The herdsmen below have already complained......"

Next to the eleven burning carts were hundreds of herdsmen in leather jackets, their big red tasseled hats jumping up and down, and people lying on the ground and getting up, trying to find some edible food.

Now is the spring famine season, in the first two years and Yusheng's convoy continued to send grain, although the herdsmen's horses and cattle and sheep and leather goods were earned, but the herdsmen were also able to use grain to survive the spring famine, now the convoy is almost completely cut off, a large number of herdsmen have no food at home, at this time the herds are also very tired, can not provide meat and a large number of dairy products, although the herdsmen will not starve to death, but will definitely starve.

People are like this, if they have not been able to endure it, but in the past few decades, there was a Ming mutual market that could exchange food, and then there was a convoy with Yusheng, and now the mutual market is cut off, and the convoy has disappeared, and the herdsmen near the border can also find those Ming merchants who do small-scale smuggling trade in Xiaobao, and most of the herdsmen have no choice.

Ah Cheng rode forward and said to the herdsmen who were picking up the embers: "The Ming people first came to earn your cattle and sheep skins, and the horses, cattle and sheep we worked hard to raise were easily exchanged by them, and now they are coming to blackmail us and cut off trade, what should we do?" ”

"Kill the Ming people!"

A herdsman's fur jacket was tattered, and he had a bunch of children to raise at home, all of whom were hungry, and he was so angry that he couldn't help but raise his fists and shout.

"We want to kill those treacherous Ming merchants." Ah Cheng's face remained unchanged, and he continued to say loudly: "If you force the Ming court to reopen the mutual market, you must also set a fair price, and you can't call merchants to suck our blood!" ”

"Kill the Ming people!"

"Kill that Ming merchant named Zhang Han!"

"Yes, he is the worst, and the high price of food is his ghost!"

Of course, these herdsmen will not understand that there are reasons for the rise in grain prices and reduced yields, and there are also freight discounts from afar, and of course, Yusheng's profit margins are also very large, but for them, hatred has long been bred like weeds, and they dare not show these hatreds to the strong people like the Taiji in front of them, and Ah Cheng Taiji successfully transferred the hatred of these herdsmen to Zhang Han's head.
