China is too big, and the transportation in this era is inconvenient, and the news from south to north spreads quite quickly, and from east to west, it is really slow and slow.

Especially in the mountainous ravines in the west, in a sense, the Great Southwest is more difficult to lead than the Great Northwest.

Just when Chen Ding's team was working hard towards Huang Shengguan, he didn't know that a Tibetan horse team from the southwest of Qinghai was also working hard towards Huang Shengguan.

The closest to Huangshengguan is actually Gannan, although the northwest of the Song Domain is next to the Yushu of Qinghai, but the Yushu is too big, and the territory of the Dunzhu family from the southwest of Yushu is in the southwest of Yushu, and he must first go east through the entire Qinghai to enter Gannan before he can enter Sichuan southward. This journey is much more difficult than Chen Ding's journey.

"Dorjee Tashi, is Huang Shengguan really more prosperous than Nangqian Wangcheng?"

For Dunzhu, who has not walked out of Yushu for 20 years, Nangqian Wangcheng is the most prosperous place. Since the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Nangchen royal family has always controlled the Tibetans in the southwest of Qinghai Sea, and with a history of six or seven hundred years, the royal city of Nangqian in Yushu is like a symbol of local power.

Although the total population of the Yushu Tibetans was always limited, in the early years they were quite suppressed by the Mongols, who occupied most of the Ching Hai, after all, the Ching Hai Mongols occupied the entire Tibetan Plateau at the height of Gushi Khan's rule, and the Mongols still have a deep influence in Tibet. However, the only cities that can be described on the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are Luo and Xining, but they are a little far away from Dunzhu in Yushu.

This is like the Chinese countryside in the 90s of the 20th century, they know that Los Angeles and New York are much more prosperous than the magic capital at that time, but the magic capital is enough to meet the definition of prosperity in their brains, let them imagine the luxury of Los Angeles and New York that they can't see with their own eyes, they really can't imagine it.

That's what Dunzhu is like right now. The royal city of Nangchen attached to the color of power was prosperous enough in his impression, and it was really difficult for him to imagine a place that was more prosperous than the royal city of Nangchen in the mouth of Dorjee Tashi.

What's even more terrifying is that Huang Shengguan is only one of the insignificant cities of the Han people, and the Han people have far more prosperous cities than Huang Shengguan, such as the Song Fan City itself, such as Chengdu and Chongqing, such as Wuhan, Shanghai, Guangdong and Nanjing.

As long as I think about Dunzhu, I feel dizzy. He climbed to the top of a mountain from the foot of the mountain, thinking that the peak was already the highest place in the world, but he never expected that there were higher peaks than the peak in the distance. He had just stepped onto the stone steps, and there were countless stone steps to climb further up.

"Young master, Dorjee Tashi will never dare to deceive you. Huang Shengguan was originally the place where the Tea Horse Division and the Tea Division were located. Now the two departments of the imperial court are unified tea and horse trading offices, which can trade not only tea and horses, but also salt, medicinal materials, ironware, cloth and so on. There are two or three thousand people living in the entire Huangshengguan. "This number is not much less than that of the people in Nangqian Royal City. And these people are all people who do trading and trading, there are so many buyers and sellers in Nangqian Wangcheng, where are there so many goods in Nangqian Wangcheng. Therefore, Dorjee Tashi of course thinks that Huang Shengguan is more prosperous than Nangqian Wangcheng.

"The market there was bigger than the royal palace in the whole royal city, full of houses, full of vendors' shops. As long as you have the money, you can buy everything you want from there. "Dorjee Tashi is the steward of the Dunzhu family, one of the few people who has crossed through the north and south, and he is a person who has really seen the world.

Chen Hanchao changed the Tea and Horse Division and the Tea Lesson Division to the Tea and Horse Exchange, originally Dorjee Tashi thought that it was all a face-saving job of changing the soup but not the medicine, but since he went through hardships three years ago and personally went to Huangshengguan, he was stunned to find that this tea and horse exchange was completely different from the official and old man Yamen in his impression.

"Young master, you don't know. The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are both the same thing to change the soup but not the medicine. The government and the imperial court in the Central Plains have always monopolized the trading of tea. Spend some silver taels and open up some contacts, then you can sell whatever you want. Everything speaks with silver, and everything is dotted with silver. Dorjee Tashi's face showed bitterness as he spoke, the tea merchants on the Ancient Tea Horse Road had long been accustomed to the official monopoly of the Central Plains regime on the tea trade, so for perhaps more profit, they had to go to the officials.

The so-called policy at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom? This practice is not unique to the 21st century, and the inevitable result of official monopoly is collusion between officials and businessmen, which is a phenomenon that is easy to understand. No matter how draconian the decrees of the imperial court were, no matter how many official institutions were established to protect their own interests, the caravans who traveled between the mountains always had a way to make these legal institutions available to their advantage.

Money, silver, for the officialdom of the past, that is a panacea.

But the current tea and horse trade has changed dramatically. The trade in tea and horses there is not directly controlled by the government, but is the responsibility of the merchants, filled with dozens of companies, large and small, and the control of tea is far less strict than in the past, and there is no limit on the amount. For the prices of tea, cloth, horses, medicines, furs, ironware, etc., the imperial court also only gave a reference price, not a hard and fast rule. The real transaction price still fluctuates according to the actual supply and demand of goods, which is too easy to promote the entire tea and horse trade.

For the elderly people like Dorjee Tashi who come and go on the road, it is the environment they yearn for the most. Even though he is in his forties, he is full of endless expectations for the great changes that will happen in the future.

As long as this system can be established for a long time, he can even give up his position and identity as a housekeeper and become a businessman, traveling between Yushu and Sichuan.

Ten years ago, Dorjee Tashi couldn't even think about it, and even his children were unwilling to let them follow him, it was too hard, too tiring, and too dangerous. In the past, there were no big forces behind them, and if Tibetans like Dorjee Tashi wanted to jump out and do it alone, their whole family would be skinned in minutes. But now it's different, there are still Han courts in the city of Nangqian, and the nobles of Yushu have long stopped killing people and punishing people.

Some people have already been accused of being punished by the Han Chinese, and there are vivid examples there, and no one dares to take their own lives inappropriately.

When the Fu Han army entered Qinghai Lake, it had already used real results to let all the people on the plateau understand who was the real master of this land.

Even the living Buddha in Tibet has to be named in the Han Education Administration, and the four major Deben families are constantly sending people to the Han Academy, what is the Nangqian royal family that has controlled Yushu for hundreds of years?

"What I'm afraid now is that this rule won't last long. The Central Plains changed the new emperor, the Manchus ran away to the Han people, the new emperor took the throne, and the officials of the Han people always like to do something when they take office, and the new officials take office three fires. I'm really afraid that it won't take long, and Huang Shengguan's transaction will be business as usual again. Alas, this kind of thing young master you will understand in the future. This is also a big reason why Dorjee Tashi still does not dare to jump out of the Dunzhu family. It's not just the legacy of the old days.

After a difficult trek, the Dunzhu family horse gang finally saw Huang Shengguan under the towering green mountains at noon three days after Chen Ding's team arrived at Huang Shengguan. It was a small pass between two mountains, but the mountains on the left and right set off its majesty.

However, to their surprise, their horse team was stopped by a group of children on the road more than ten miles away from Huang Shengguan, these children were wearing military uniforms that were one size smaller, but they were holding real guys in their hands. The bayonet at the muzzle of the gun was cold and cold, making people's hearts chill.

It was at this time that the Dunzhu family horse gang learned that a rebellion had broken out in the jurisdiction of Song Fan City not long ago.

The garrison of the Chen Han government in the Song Domain is indeed not much, but there is a boy battalion in the Song Domain, and thousands of boy scouts rushed into the Song Domain City with bayonets at the critical moment, and defeated the Song Domain rebellion Tusi native soldiers who were more numerous than them in one fell swoop, and the entire Song Pan got rid of a big disaster, but the vigilance has not been dropped. At least until after the year!

Donzhu heard that in the city of Songfan, more than a thousand boy scouts had their mouths wide after defeating one or two thousand rebel soldiers.

It reminded him of that boy scout camp in Yushu.

At the beginning, the Han people set up a boy battalion on the grounds that they were not stationed in Yushu, and the Nangqian royal family agreed, and the boy boy battalion with as many as three or four thousand people was far less deterrent than a cavalry battalion in the eyes of the Tibetans in Yushu. Although in the following years, the people of Yushu honestly accepted the shackles that Chen Han had put on their heads, and there was no rebellion. But looking at it now, what the people of Yushu thought was Chen Han's 'stupid hat' was not the same thing at all, so where was Chen Han's stupid hat, and people had unconsciously put a sharp knife against Nangqian Wangcheng's side.

Judging the boy camp outside Nangqian City by the boy camp of the Song Domain, this is really too scary to think about.

The Han people are really too cunning and cunning.

In order not to provoke the resistance of the local aborigines as much as possible, the entire Qinghai Dynasty, except for the area around Qinghai Lake, was resolutely stationed with soldiers and horses, and only a cavalry regiment was stationed in the open space between Charing Lake and Oring Lake.

No one would see the boy boy camp as much of a threat, so Chen Ming seized on this point from them, quit the army, and returned to the boy boy camp.

The natives knew how good the boy soldiers were.

The boy soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made countless Manchu generals call themselves fierce existences.

These little dolls are either short of food and clothing, or have no parents, and even many of them are begging for a living, hungry and full, and were taken by Chen Han to the boy boy camp where they don't have to worry about food and drink, that loyalty is trustworthy, and when necessary, these children wield knives desperately bravely, and the strict training in the boy camp is not in vain. Under the neglect of many people, the Boy Boy Battalion, as a hidden army, controlled a considerable number of places for Chen Han. The judgment of the Song Fan here is only an example, a representative, and by no means a special case.

Huang Sheng outside the pass hanging dozens of heads, a question to know that these are the leaders of the rebels, in the process of counterinsurgency, the boy scouts under the orderly control of the killing, Zhang Camp and other sources of rebellion to kill the head of the head, now these are only part of it, some of them are hanging in Songpan City, and several other main leaders who were killed and captured main rebel leaders and their families, have all been sent to Chengdu.

If it weren't for the blood-drenched human heads confirming the Boy Scouts' words, Donzhu and his party really didn't want to believe that what the Boy Scouts said was true. However, in Huangsheng Pass, the scouts with loaded guns and a team of garrisons here patrolled together, and the heroic spirit of those soldiers even made Dunzhu and them subconsciously ignore the young of those scouts. Huang Shengguan's guards were much stricter than the previous times when Dorjee Tashi came, and it seemed that it was not only because of the rebellion that had been quelled before, but after some inquiry, they learned that there was a group of nobles from Nanjing in Huang Shengguan, all of whom were powerful people in the imperial court, and there was even His Royal Highness the eldest son of His Majesty today. In this way, of course, Huang Shengguan has to be a little stricter.

The horse team of the Dunzhu family does not have enough points, and the leader of the team, Dorjee Tashi, only has the most ordinary first-class economic person qualifications, so the horse team of the Dunzhu family is also a first-class caravan, which is not allowed to keep muskets in Huangshengguan, and Dunzhu himself's two horned handcuffs were all taken away, leaving only a Tibetan knife.

In fact, not only Dunzhu, Dorjee Tashi and others, but even many Han horse teams were subjected to the same strict search, and all firearms were strictly checked, which was to ensure the safety of Chen Ding and others to the greatest extent.

There is no unventilated wall in the world, Chen Ming sent the children of the royal family and the powerful to the children's camp to suffer hardships and accept the training, the people didn't know at first, but they didn't know for a year, they didn't know for two years, and they didn't know for three years?

This matter is so extensive, the descendants of that powerful family leak a sentence to the outside, and it is enough to spread throughout Nanjing. How can you hide the news, and who else can you hide it?

Dunzhu didn't think there was anything terrible about this matter, but it was a pity that he couldn't reach Huangsheng Pass a few days earlier, so that he could watch the imperial court behead.

Now the death penalty in the imperial court is also divided into several categories, the most serious is beheading, followed by shooting, and finally hanging. Not to mention the rebels who died in the counterinsurgency war, the other leaders were all beheaded.

After entering Huangsheng Pass, Dunzhu felt that this place really didn't look like a heavily guarded place, and the streets were too clean. The city was too lively, he could see the tea and horse exchange at a glance, and before he got close, the smell of wine came to his nose.

The horse gang of the Dunzhu family is too far apart, and the wine is rarely sold, and the only thing Dunzhu can taste is highland barley wine, but the taste is really not as good as Sichuan's good wine.

The street shops were full of tea cakes and bricks, as well as cloth, ironware, medicines, canned food, and seafood, and many vendors shouted loudly to attract customers.

But where there is a tea shop, there must be a pot boiling tea leaves; The hotel opened the mouth of the jar, and the large bowl next to it was also full of fine wine. The salt that was piled on the oilcloth like dirt was white and piercing in the sun, and it was not precious at all, and this was also a good thing in Yushu. There are also a large number of seafood exuding a very strange fishy smell of Dunzhu, a large number of canned food, dried vegetables, and even fresh fruits......

Dunzhu suddenly felt that his eyes were not enough, there were too many good things here, and he was reluctant to take his eyes off them.
