When Burhan arrived at the tent, the guards lifted the curtain for him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info open! There are a lot of people, three layers inside and three layers outside. Sitting at the head of the seat was the tribal leader Alet, and after Burhan paid his respects to the nobles, he realized that there was a distinguished guest to welcome him today.

"Huh! Uncle Alimu, you haven't been here in a while. Burhan recognized in the crowd the Uighur merchant Alimu, who often traveled to and from the tribe. Maiti.

"Haha, Young Master Bourhan, the last time we met was two years ago. I didn't expect that the little young master who hadn't seen him for two years has now grown into an adult (Burhan's height is like a 14-5-year-old boy, who was an adult in ancient times.) You're going to have a family in two years, right? Hehe! Alimu said that he did not forget to offer gifts, how difficult it is for Uyghur businessmen like them to become familiar with a Mongolian clan to such a level, and it is still necessary to maintain this relationship, and the easiest and most effective way is to curry favor with the leader and "Taiji".

"Hehe, Uncle Alimu has won the award, you are a distinguished guest of the Hechi Ti Department, if it weren't for you, the things of our Hechi Ti Department would be broken and no one would sell them, and the children haven't had maren candy for the past two years, even I miss the taste of it." Burhan took Alimu's gift, which seemed to be fine porcelain on the ancient Silk Road, and by the way, he also tested Alimu.

Alimu listened to Burhan's words, a little embarrassed, yes, when Alert negotiated with Alimu, he asked him to come to the Hechi Ti Department at least once every six months, not only to bring the urgently needed iron to the Hechi Ti Ministry, but also to be more anxious is that a large number of wool, fur, and mare's milk wine produced by the Hechi Ti Department were sold to Qinghai and the Western Regions, so as to enrich and strengthen the Hechi Ti Ministry, Alimu's profits are not unrich! But since he left two years ago, he hasn't come back, and the reason for this is really ......

Alette looked at Alimu embarrassed, he knew that this old friend had always kept the promise, there must be some reason, but he was also very angry and did not stop Burhan, at this time he needed to relieve the old friend of the embarrassment.

"Burhan come and sit, don't mind Alimu's old friends, it's all my usual negligence in discipline, I hope there are many Haihan!" Alert said that he was negligent in discipline but did not make Burhan apologize, it is obvious that this is towards Burhan, after all, it is his own son.

"Alright, old friend, let's explain my intentions!" Alette took the mare's milk wine and drank it, he wanted to know, did his old friend who hadn't been here for two years come for something else?

Alimu understood, so he walked away from the crowd to the center of the tent, signaled to the chief of Alett and the nobles, showed respect, and then said:

"Honorable Leader of Alert, the nobles of the Hechiti tribe, you have come here to keep the covenant."

"Keeping the promise? Alimu friend, I'm not drunk today, we haven't seen your caravan for at least two years, and you're embarrassed to say that it's a covenant? It's ridiculous! Wu Rizhao was also very angry, if Alimu could come as promised, then the Hechiti tribe would have a better life. In these years, the purchasing power of the Ming people is not as good as it was back then, except for war horses and some leather, they don't want anything, and the things of the Hechi Ti Department can only watch them break down but there is no way. The tribe also thought about forming a caravan, but they were unfamiliar with the place, not to mention being robbed, and even the men and horses were killed. The Western Regions are too chaotic, and the Hechi Ti Department has no ability to avenge the dead relatives, so they can only bury their hatred in their hearts.

"Lord Wu Rizhao, you can't say that about me. We Uyghurs are the most credible, I haven't been here for two years for a reason, the war between Qinghai Mongolia and Gansu Mongolia has been going on every year, and there is no intention of stopping, the rise of the Jungger Department has been unstoppable, and our businessmen's life is not easy! If they weren't all licking their wounds, I wouldn't have come to the Hechi Ti Department again! Alimu felt very aggrieved and had to explain the reason.

After hearing this, everyone thought that it might be true. The caravan is most afraid of the army and horse thieves, who will do business without a stable environment? Aren't the caravans of the tribe eaten by those hungry wolves and left with no dregs left?

There was a little silence in the tent, and Alett broke the silence and said, "Everyone, come and toast our friend Alimu from afar. ”

"Old friend, you're here this time to restore our agreement, right?"

"That's right, Honorable Chief Alet. In order to express my apologies, I brought a total of 100,000 catties of pig iron and 100 quintals of tea this time, which were given to the Hechi Ti Department, and I hope we can still do the same as in previous years. ”

At first glance, everyone heard that 100,000 catties of pig iron and 100 quintals of tea were too much. You must know that tea and iron are urgently needed materials for the Hechi Ti Ministry, and there are not so many exchanges with the Ming people in the past two years? Immediately, the pot exploded in the big tent.

"Alas! How can we, the Hechiti Division, take such a big advantage from you? Let's go back to the old rules. ”

Alimu knew that Alett was an upright man, and he didn't want to owe others a favor, so he had to agree.

Alimu's caravan was the only Uyghur caravan that could reach the Hechiti tribe, and it was also the largest among the Uyghurs, because it would not be easily coveted by horse thieves. The Uyghurs were born to do business, and they sold pig iron from the Western Regions to take away the specialties of the Hechiti tribe, and then entered the Ming Dynasty to exchange tea and grain for reselling them to the Hechiti tribe to earn more money. Since the Hechiti tribe had three major goods, the sensitive Uyghur merchants immediately realized this and began to contact the Hechiti tribe, due to the war and the invasion of horse thieves, the small caravans became fewer and fewer, and finally only Alimu's caravan was able to cross the desert to the Hechiti tribe. In the thirty-third year of Wanli (1605), a huge spring drought swept through Alashan, and the tribe could only rely on the methods of Burhan to catch gophers to survive. They quietly waited for the arrangement of the Immortal Heaven while praying that the catastrophe would pass quickly. At this time, Alimu's merchant group brought the most needed food for the Hechiti tribe, so that the Hechiti tribe could survive. It is precisely because of this that Alimu is only smooth sailing in the Hechi Ti Department, which also makes him make a lot of money.

In the evening, the tribe held a bonfire for guests from afar. The young boys and girls sang and danced, and the Uyghurs were also the children of the gods, and their unrestrained and heroic personalities filled the audience.

"Leader Alert, this mare's milk seems to be three points stronger than before!" Alimu tasted the mare's milk wine while drinking.

"Of course, the Han people have a saying that wine is the mellow of Chen. You haven't been here for two years, and of course our wine is old. Hahaha! Alett's words made the other nobles laugh too.

That's right, that's the truth. The mare's milk wine of the Hechiti tribe is famous all over the world (only for the Mongolian tribes), and although the brewing skills of the Han people in the north cannot be practiced in mare's milk wine, the distillation method is indeed possible. Burhan has always believed that drinking is not simply to buy drunk, but to enliven the atmosphere, and that wine that is too strong is not too good. However, Mongolians live in a harsh environment, and the winter is extremely cold, so drinking spirits to warm up the body is a habit that slowly develops. The Hechiti tribe is not so powerful, but extraterritorial Mongolias such as the Jungar tribe have a great demand for this strong mare's milk wine, and it is also the most demanded commodity every time the Alimu caravan comes.

"The leader is right, Alimu has made amends to all the nobles here." As he spoke, he picked up a large glass of mare's milk wine and drank a glass of it.

"Cool! Sure enough, it's a good wine, it's really the best quality! Chiefs and nobles, in order to show respect to Alimu, it has been decided that all the goods of the Hechi Ti Department will be increased by one percent, and I hope you will accept it with a smile. ”

Everyone is even happier at this time, and they can buy more things by increasing the price. Alet and Burhan, in particular, were particularly happy that the tribe could buy more grain. Everyone drank happily at the banquet and dispersed very late.

The next day, Alat asked Urizhao to gather his people and begin to collect the goods needed by Alimu and register them. By the afternoon, a total of 3,300 vats of mare's milk wine, 8,000 horses of wool, and other furs were collected. Although the value of these goods is not less than the ones brought by Alimu, it is about the same. Alimu said that he would let the Hechi Ti Department pay it back slowly in the future, and give priority to the Hechi Ti Department in exchange for food for the winter!

When Alimu left with the caravan, all the people of the clan saw him off at Yuanmen, which really touched Alimu, but in fact, he misunderstood, and people meant more deeply "When will you come again!" ”

Alimu is extremely qualified as a businessman, and a month later, he sent someone to send 10,000 stone of grain and 30 quintals of new tea, and Alert knew that Alimu gave too much. As long as businessmen who are good at business know this truth, only if they pay, they will have more returns.

No business, no sharp: originated from ancient grain merchants. When the grain merchants sell grain, they will grab another handful to form a tip, and later generations will slowly change it from a positive term to a derogatory one, and the businessmen will also be belittled, and most of their nature will be scandalized.
