Liang Hong said that Zhang Han planned to give the lotus to Liang Hong, and in the end, Liang Hong groaned: "I heard that the lotus is also from a big family, and she became a maid by copying the family and selling it, since the proprietor promised you, she must also be a complete body, but after all, she is only a maid now, and the proprietor said that the dowry will be very rich, and our housewife loves this girl very much......"

"Uncle, what do you want?" Liang Xing's eyes widened and said: "This is what the proprietor looks up to, and now our status is all false, it is all appreciated by the proprietor, can we be an ordinary maid in his family?" ”

Zhang Han is indeed thinking about this matter as Liang Xing said, of course his maid can't be seen as an ordinary maid, this kind of marriage is a kind of grace knot means for the superior to his subordinates, not an ordinary marriage, if Zhang Han is here, he will definitely praise Liang Xing has made great progress.

Liang Hong sighed: "Sure enough, the blue is better than the blue, the uncle is old, and it will be up to you descendants in the future." ”

……

"Ah Cheng Taiji, what you do makes me very embarrassed."

The silver ingot still looked like a hanger, and he was not in shape at all when he sat cross-legged, and his body shook and shook, making people feel that he might fall down at any time.

Ah Cheng, who was questioned by him, was sitting upright, his posture was very solemn, and the expression on his face was also calm and calm.

At this time, of course, Ah Cheng would not wear the official robe of the Ming Dynasty, the last time he escorted Petrin to the envoy, he was delayed in Beijing for a few months, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, and when he returned, Zhang Han had already left the Tumut Department and continued to the west, and later Ah Cheng sent Petrin to Mobei, which was taken over by the Chechen Khan, and he himself returned to the tribe with his attaché.

There was news that the Russian side was very interested in the trade and trade routes of the Ming Dynasty, and that the Tsar might send more formal envoys again, but Ah Cheng was not very concerned about these things, and he felt that this matter had little to do with the Mongols.

Ah Cheng was very concerned about the silver ingot's questioning, he had no opinion on Zhang Han himself, and even faintly appreciated it, but Taiji, who had been in the top position for a long time like Ah Cheng, would not do things from the perspective of feelings, but only out of practical interests.

"It's not like we're not doing business with proprietor Zhang again." Ah Cheng owed to Bu Shitu Khan, who was sitting on the top, and then looked back and said to the silver ingot: "The wealth on our grassland did not fall from the sky, horses are raised from small horses, how much spirit does it take to breed into war horses, sheep and cattle also have to take care of them, and the fur is accumulated through hard work, which is the wealth of our Mongolians." We Taiji, each have their own people, they take out their hard-earned things, dedicated to us, what they want is tea bricks and Han food, vegetables, fruits, cloth, medicinal materials, these are indeed good things, we don't have it ourselves, we used to rob it, and then Hebul Khan felt that it was too troublesome to loot, and it was not necessarily how much to grab, and he had to kill and injure the people, so he accepted the edict of the Ming State......"

The silver ingot looked unhappy: "Ah Cheng Taiji, it's far away......"

"Not far." Ah Cheng still said very calmly: "What I mean is that we and the Ming Kingdom have only been in war for a few years, and our Mongolian friends can only be Mongolians." And Zhang Han is like this, it's nothing more than starting from profit, that Fan Yongdou's goods are cheap, why don't we buy him? Don't buy the cheap ones, buy the expensive ones, the silver ingot Taiji, is this doing things from the perspective of friends, or from the interests of our Mongol tribes? ”

The silver ingot said angrily: "The cooperation with Zhang Han and Yusheng is the approval of the Great Khan, if we go back on our word, how can the reputation of the Mongols be counted?" I have a personal relationship with Zhang Han, we used to be enemies with Mingguo, and now I am not friends with Mingguo, but just with Zhang Han, I don't think there is any problem. ”

Ah Cheng ignored the silver ingot, owed to Bu Shitu, and said, "It's better for the Great Khan to make up his mind about this matter." If I am not allowed to deal with Fan Yongdou, then I will not buy his goods. If the ministries can handle such a matter on their own, of course the silver ingot Taiji and other Taiji can continue to buy the goods of He Yusheng, and I can also buy the goods of the Fan family firm, and everyone will not interfere. ”

Bu Shitu Khan's face showed embarrassment, Fan Yongdou recently sent someone to Qingcheng, and also gave him a large number of gifts, which were very expensive and full of sincerity.

And the Fan family's personal figure is very low, unlike Zhang Han with the support of Namur Taitai, and he feels a little ally of the Tumut Department, and Bu Shitu Khan knows that Zhang Han has gone all the way to Liaodong and will ally with the Jurchens, he feels that he can't fully grasp such a character, unlike Fan Yongdou, Bu Shitu feels that he can control this Ming businessman.

But Zhang Han also supported himself at a critical moment, and Bu Shitu also felt a little guilty.

The most important thing is that Ah Cheng has Taiji and Su Nang Taiji behind him, and they also buy goods from Fan's family trading house, because of their hostility to Zhang Han, they are definitely more willing to cooperate with Fan Yongdou.

Bu Shitu Khan finally said: "Although I am the Great Khan, I do not have the right to prohibit the ministries from trading with merchants, if so, I am afraid that the ministries will not be too convinced." Silver ingot, you can explain it to Zhang Han. ”

Silver Ingot glanced at Bu Shitu Khan deeply, slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Treachery is not the rule of our Mongols, since the Great Khan said so, I have nothing to say, but I have a word first, Zhang Han is not the kind of person who sits back and watches bad things happen and has no choice, I am afraid that you will have to beg him in the future, it may be ugly at that time!" ”

Ah Cheng said: "The Ming Kingdom is just shrinking the official market, I think the Jurchens in Liaodong may not be able to make much noise, maybe the Ming Kingdom will be quelled if it gathers troops again, and the horse market will be normal at that time, I don't think we need to pay too much attention to the smuggling business!" ”

The two sides spoke calmly and quietly, and there was no noise, but it was like a break.

Bu Shitu looked helpless, as a great khan, in fact, he was unable to control the various tribes at all, the originally very strong Tumut department has fallen apart, he, the great khan, is the master of a big tribe, and has no influence on other tribes at all.

The silver ingot got up and came out high, Ah Cheng came out when he was wearing shoes, the servants of the silver ingot were a little nervous, the silver ingot was just a small Taiji, the people were only a few hundred, Ah Cheng was a big Taiji with more than 10,000 people, and the power was very strong, even the powerful Taiji like the Great Khan and Su Nang had to respect Ah Cheng a few points.

If it weren't for the powerful Taiji, Ah Cheng would not have received the edict of the Ming Dynasty and became the military attache of the Ming Dynasty.

Silver Ingot Taiji offended Ah Cheng today, and his entourage felt very worried, if Ah Cheng was annoyed and ashamed, Silver Ingot himself was fine, and his people would be under a lot of pressure.

Ah Cheng showed no signs of anger, he looked at the silver ingot and said, "Although we have a dispute today, I appreciate your insistence on faith. In addition, you can keep your promise to your friends and withstand the pressure, silver ingots, you are very good. ”

Silver Ingot shook his head and said, "It's useless to talk to me now, I won't have much pressure myself, and Zhang Han won't blame me." It's just that if you do this, you will definitely regret it in the future. ”

A Cheng grinned at the corner of his mouth and said: "I have also seen your friend Zhang Han, a very ordinary Ming boy, everyone and you respect him very much, but I really can't see how powerful he is." ”

The silver ingot snorted coldly and said, "It's useless to talk about it now, you will know it in the future!" ”

Silver Ingot put on his boots and left, Ah Cheng watched him leave, did not stop him, there was a faint melancholy in his eyes, Silver Ingot looked at the scoundrel, in fact, he was a very smart young man Taiji, he had such confidence in Zhang Han, Na Mu'er also supported Zhang Han, and the Great Khan also had a lot of pressure, Ah Cheng felt that he might have done something wrong. But he didn't have the idea of changing his mind, this matter was not only his own business, but also related to the interests of many tribes, especially Su Nang had already made a move, and now it was too late to regret it.

……

A group of Mongolians suddenly came outside Zhang Ziming's shop.

Soon after the beginning of autumn, the grassland has begun to be cold, these Mongolians are wearing leather jackets, carrying knives around their waists, and everyone is very vicious.

Zhang Ziming's eldest son is helping in the store, business has been a little sluggish recently, but the business house still has a lot of profits, there are many businessmen in the store looking at the goods, these Mongolians rushed in, Zhang Ziming's eldest son hurriedly went to the inner hall to invite his father out.

"Spread out, spread out, all out."

The Mongols who entered the store began to drive away the merchants in the store, and Zhang Ziming recognized these people as the guards of Susang Taiji, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Everyone, I am doing business here in peace, and I have not violated the decrees of the Great Khan and your Taiji. ”

At this time, the Mongols governed their tribes according to the Great Zasak of the Great Khan of the Chahar Department, which was generally a very rough legal code, but it was better than nothing, which was a kind of protection for Han people like Zhang Ziming.

"Su Nang Tai Ji has an order," said one of the guards leader, "From today onwards, all Bansheng land is only allowed to sell the goods of the Fan family firm, and the goods of Yusheng are sealed and returned, and they are not allowed to be sold again." ”

"Whose truth is this?" Zhang Ziming was shocked and angry.

Zhang Ziming knew that the Fan family had dumped goods on the grassland recently, of course, it was mainly hard currency such as grain and cloth, and the price was three percent cheaper than that of Heyusheng, and the quality of the goods was about the same, but there were very few ironware, after all, Heyusheng had his own iron yard, and Zhang Ziming relied on this to maintain business.

The Mongolian guard also saw the iron tools piled up in the shop, and with a greedy look in his eyes, he shouted: "These iron tools are very important, they can't fall into the hands of the Han people, take them all away!" ”

Zhang Han saw very accurately in the matter of iron tools, iron tools have always been a hard currency in demand, and the imperial court only used a small amount of iron pots to the Mongols in the form of rewards in the horse market, and the entire Han region rarely provided iron tools to the Mongols for more than 200 years, which led to a great shortage of iron on the grassland, although it was not enough to ask the herdsmen to use bones and arrows, but the armor and fine iron weapons on the grassland were seriously insufficient, which was also one of the reasons for the serious decline in the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian departments.

However, Zhang Han felt that the biggest problem in Mongolia was the belief in the Yellow Religion and the Red Religion, which led to the fierce nomads gradually becoming as tame as a flock of sheep, and the Taiji of each department only tried to govern the people easily, and he also believed in the Yellow Religion.
