Chapter 195: Secret Visit XII

The basic living conditions of the Mongolians in this era were no kettle and no clothes. In those small tribes, even the head people may not be able to mix a silk garment to wear. When ordinary herdsmen divide their families, an iron pot must be smashed open, half a mouthful for each person, and then this half of the iron pot will be used to cook. As for making your own iron pot, I'm sorry, I don't have the skills.

When it comes to combat equipment, most of them use bone arrows, and iron arrows must be regarded as precious strategic materials for them, so they can break the border pass and plunder the pass, but they never thought that they could annex the Ming Dynasty and rebuild the glory of the Golden Family. It's really too small for my own capital to think about this kind of thing.

The climate on the grassland is cold and dry, Mongolians usually take dairy food and beef-based, drinking tea will have the effect of eliminating greasy and helping digestion, according to the local saying, "it is better to have no food for three days, not without tea for a day", which shows that tea occupies an important position in Mongolian life. However, the climate in the area controlled by Mongolia is cold and does not produce tea, so it is very important for the Mongolians to exchange tea with the Han people in exchange for the necessities of life.

The Ming Dynasty strictly controlled the tea and horse trade at the border gates, and there were strict restrictions on time and scale, and the tea traded from the tea and horse market could not meet the needs of the Mongols at all. Therefore, the Mongols came to the Ming Dynasty to trade tea privately, which was also a means that could not be taken under this system.

However, the border army is seriously in arrears, and according to the regulations, the monthly military salary of the border army is one stone of food. But in actual operation, it is its own folding, big buckets and small buckets, refined grains, and loss mixed with sand, and the actual grain in hand can have five buckets is good, and this is not every month. The border army lived in difficulty, so they had to trade with the Mongols for money, otherwise they really couldn't survive.

It's not strange for me to make a deal with Daming, but it's even stranger what he wants. Grain, handicrafts, silk, medicinal herbs, these are more common. But ordnance and gunpowder, what do they want this thing for?

Counting the days, it seems that it is autumn, and every autumn is the season when the Mongols are harassing the border with a large number of people, and they purchase ordnance at this time, which makes people feel suspicious no matter how they look at it.

Yang Chengzu sneered: "I'm sorry, those women are my woman's sisters, that is, my relatives." Will you Mongols exchange your relatives for livestock? No matter how many horses you give, you can't take us alone. Otherwise, I will exchange four horses for you a warrior, how many do you have, how much do I exchange, do you change or not? ”

I replied and looked at him coldly, "This Han man, you are not small, I don't know if you dare to report your name." ”

"It's easy to say, a certain Yang Chengzu, you remember it."

"Yang, Cheng, Zu, okay, I wrote down this name. With such a big business, I'm afraid you can't be the master yourself, if the people behind you want you to sell these women, can you also refuse? ”

I didn't have to ask for those women's troops from Qinglong Mountain, but he brought these people out, intending to train them to be his future henchmen, the samurai. In order to do this, you must have enough face to convince these samurai.

Since they fell in love with those women, they got those women for them, so that they could show their supernatural powers, in the final analysis, I don't take the pair of Han men and women in front of them in their eyes, before the Mongolian warriors' iron riding fast sword, what did the Han people count?

At that time, the majesty of Genghis Khan was spread all over the world, and who could face the majesty of the Mongolian iron horse? As for now, although the prestige of Mongolia is not there, and even the biggest enemy has changed from the Ming Dynasty to his compatriots, and his Great Khan Bodi is his brother's henchman, but this does not affect him to look down on those Han people.

As soon as he saw Hao Qingqing, he was attracted by this woman, although he was only twelve years old, the men on the grassland matured much earlier than the Han people. At the age of twelve, he already knew what it meant to be a man and a woman, and even tried it on a maid. Compared with those weak Han women, a strong and powerful woman like Hao Qingqing is a man's gift.

However, he knew very well that this woman himself could not be touched at the moment, and he could not even show any intentions to him. Since the other party treats himself as a child, it is better for him to use this child's identity to take a few more looks, which is not always a problem. It's just that those women are going to make their own decisions.

But this Han man dares to publicly refute his face, can't he figure out who he is talking to? He is the son of the former Jinong of the 30,000 households of the dignified Mongolian right-wing and the brother of the current Jinong, he dares to refuse his request, is he tired of living?

Yang Chengzu sneered: "You don't have to use others to pressure me, there is no discussion about this matter, no matter who comes out, I will not betray my sister, this is the principle." As for you saying that you and Huo Wu used to do this kind of transaction, then I can only say that some people have their own ambitions, and I personally don't like the content of this kind of transaction, and I don't want to engage in it. But if you want to buy other things, I'll think of a way for you, everyone is for life, and no one will get along with money. It's just that how do you pay for this fee? ”

"It's very simple, at the border gate, we deliver the goods with one hand and hand over the livestock with the other. We don't have so much gold and silver, but we have horses, livestock, furs, ginseng, and deer antler velvet. You don't have to worry about losing money in business, in fact, you make a lot of money every time we trade. ”

"Everyone is each other, let's work together and make a fortune together, this is the right way for businessmen, and nothing else matters. I can't get these supplies together for a while, so you have to give me some time. ”

"So, you've agreed to do this business? So how long will you take? ”

"At least ten days, and some of the things on your list are too difficult to get, I think if you really want to get them all, it will take more than half a month."

"Well, I'll come back in fifteen days, and I hope you'll have brought me good news by then. I didn't have the twenty lambs with me, so I kept a horse, which was enough for the price of the twenty lambs. ”

I replied that this man was a good man, and when he left, he left behind a good horse with a full set of equipment. Looking at the blood-red horse, Yang Chengzu nodded with satisfaction, and said to Hao Qingqing: "Your name is Huofeng Huang, and with such a horse, even people and horses are a fire, majestic or not, do you like it or not?" ”

Hao Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, "As long as it is sent by the master, I like anything." ”

In a small two-story building not far from the house, a man in a green coat and a small hat knelt on the ground and reported to the person opposite me when he and his party would enter and leave.

Due to the exposure of the light, the figure of the man was hidden in the darkness, and he could not show his face, but after listening to the report, he said: "He really took the bait?" Okay, when it's time for them to trade, we're going to get a hold on him and see how he denies it. If something like this happens, he can't protect himself, and I see how he can check the military rations. ”
