Chapter 530 Zhangjiakou Horse Market is opened

"What pot ticket? How come I've never heard of it? A herdsman asked several companies one after another, and the merchants all asked him for pot tickets, and refused to sell them to him without pot tickets, but he couldn't figure out when even the silver was not good, and the anger was getting bigger and bigger.

"This guest, this is our rule here, it is served by ticket, if you don't have a ticket, you don't want to buy anything." The shopkeeper of another shop told him so again.

"Can't I give three silver coins?" The herdsman also reacted, took out a few silver coins, and said.

"Don't sell ......" shop small two roads.

"Four ......," said the herdsman again.

"Don't sell ......" shopkeeper refused without the slightest hesitation.

“…… Five to sell or not to sell? ......" The herdsman gritted his teeth and shouted out the limit of his bearing, this price, in the past, can already buy the same two or three pots, even if the Ming Dynasty reopened the horse market is not easy to increase the price, but it should not rise to such a high level at once! Is this different from not selling? What kind of ticket do you want, isn't this just not selling?

“…… Don't sell ......" shopkeeper still didn't hesitate at all. However, after saying that, he reminded again: "...... This guest seems to really want to buy, so let's do it, I'll show you a clear way, over there, over there, you keep walking, you can see a lot of people around there, that's there, where do you go to see, you can buy things without a ticket...... "The shopkeeper didn't care if his business couldn't be done, and pushed his own business straight out.

"Hmph......" When the herdsman heard this, he rolled up his silver coin and left, and glared back at the shopkeeper, angry.

……

Following the instructions of the shopkeeper, this herdsman found the place where he could buy things without a ticket, and he did surround the people on the third floor inside and the third floor outside.

He squeezed hard into it, but at a glance he saw the big iron pot he was about to buy.

"How much does a big iron pot cost?" The herdsman asked happily.

"Big iron pot, big iron pot, six silver coins, first come, first served, no tickets, no tickets, there is only this latter one today, hurry up!" The man standing on the stage, when he saw someone asking for the price, shouted loudly, although there is no ticket here, but because the price is frighteningly high, not many people buy it.

"Six?" The herdsman was very surprised, although he didn't want a ticket here, but he wanted six silver coins and an iron pot, this price was really beyond his bearing, he had six silver coins in his hand, or he led two horses to the Han merchant in exchange, but now, he can only change an iron pot to go back, this kind of business, even if he is bold, he doesn't dare to grit his teeth, the anger in his heart gradually gathers, and his hand touches the knife, but, look at it again, all around are the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the urn wall, there are many people with guns and bows, he did this, Don't even think about going out if you're afraid.

"Brother......, brother......" Just as the herdsman gritted his teeth, a sturdy man dressed as the same person next to him shook his shoulder.

The herdsman, who was in a daze, immediately woke up and became vigilant. asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do......", the vigilance on the grassland should have, but because of his distraction, he forgot it, if this is on the grassland, someone hits him, I am afraid it will be a dead word.

"Brother, look at you, you want to buy an iron pot!" The stoutly dressed man asked kindly.

"Yes, I'm going to buy an iron pot, but unfortunately, the Han people are cunning, they don't have a ticket, they don't want to sell it to me, they don't want a ticket here, but they want six silver coins, I have six silver coins at hand now, and I still have two horses in exchange, I bought this iron pot, I can't buy anything else, I still have to bring some needlework back, I want to bring a few feet of cloth back, I want to bring a few catties of salt back, and I am going to bring some tea back, but if I buy an iron pot, I can't buy anything, you say, Did this Han people deliberately not sell anything to us? The herdsman said angrily, and he was not afraid of what others would hear and say.

"Brother, this is also a helpless thing, now the Ming Dynasty and Dajin are fighting in the east, I heard that the fight is very strong, and now it is extremely reluctant to open this horse market, this rule is more, and there is no way to do it, don't you know, there are merchants among the Han people who sell grain and firearms to Dajin, and the Ming Dynasty has suffered a big loss, you say, can the Ming Dynasty not be on fire?" The strong man also spoke, also with a loud voice, and he was not afraid to be heard.

"This big brother has a point, but what does it matter to them when they fight with Dakin? This price is too expensive, I led two horses, and I changed a pot to go back, you say, isn't this the Han people bullying our herdsmen? "This herdsman is still very angry. ,

"Hey, this is also a helpless thing, the Han people can't tell who we are, and when we enter the grassland, do you still care if we belong to that tribe? What are we? According to the words of the Han people, the city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond were affected! It's all about the war between Dajin and the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, how expensive is this thing? "This strong man can speak Chinese for a while, and he can talk.

"The eldest brother is a reasonable person, what he says is ......reasonable" The herdsman also nodded a little helplessly, facing the Ming Dynasty officials and troops all around, he had no way, thinking, he was afraid that he would be beaten into a sieve immediately. Thinking about it, he only thought of one way, that is, before learning, everyone together to knock on the pass, so maybe the Han people will be afraid, but they can join forces to knock on this matter, it is not something that he, a small herdsman, can do, even if he wants to knock, it is not something that can be done in a day or two, and now their tribe is fighting with Lin Dan Khan, if he fights with the Ming Dynasty again, even he, a herdsman who does not know a big word, knows that it is not good, so he can only lower his head.

The herdsman lowered his head, but the strong man took out a stack of tickets and rummaged through them.

The herdsman had never seen this thing before, so he asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you?" ”

"Hehe, this is the ticket, the Han people made it, you can buy things with this......" The strong man explained proudly.

"This is the ticket!" The herdsman asked curiously, why did he not have a ticket when someone else had a ticket?

“…… Brother is really good luck, we still have a pot ticket here, in this way, you give two silver coins, this pot ticket will be given to you, you take this pot ticket to buy a pot, the store only needs two silver coins, add up to only four, you can also save two to buy others, brother if you think it is cost-effective, take it......" The strong man was able to sell the ticket in his hand.

"Big brother, where did you get this ticket?" The herdsman was a little moved, and gave the eldest brother two silver coins, and after he had the ticket, he only needed two silver coins to buy a pot, adding up, only four silver coins, which was much cheaper than the six silver coins for a pot, but he wanted to know where he got this ticket.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell my brother, in fact, this horse market is specially opened by the emperor for us, our tribe is the imperial army that fights for His Majesty the Emperor, our emperor sends us these tickets every month for us to live, let's buy things, it's so cheap, like this pot, you want six silver coins, we only need two, hehe......" The strong man said proudly.

"Imperial Army!" The herdsman's eyes widened and he looked at this strong man dressed the same as him, this is the Imperial Association Army that has been spreading so well last year? They have wiped out a lot of tribes in the east, and have become the knife in the hands of the Han emperor, and now they are talking to themselves, it is actually the Imperial Army, this herdsman is surprised, curious, and envious, looking at the dress of the Imperial Army, I am afraid that the day is really good, not to mention anything else, this stack of tickets is a lot of belongings.

"Hehe, not bad,......" The strong man agreed with a smile, fiddling with all kinds of tickets in his hand.

"Did the Han Emperor really give you an invoice?" The herdsman was also attracted by the stack of tickets in the strong man's hand, and with such a stack of tickets, how many silver coins would be saved to buy things! No, how many animals you have to do!

"No, no, I'll take a look, there are pot tickets ......, tea tickets, ......and needle tickets...... "The big man said while flipping through his tickets, he is also illiterate, but fortunately, various patterns are drawn on these tickets, and a big iron pot is drawn on the pot tickets, and some needles are drawn on the needle tickets, otherwise, this strong man does not know these tickets.

The herdsman almost drooled when he looked at the stack of tickets in the strong man's hand.

"The Han emperor treats you so well! …… Okay, big brother, I'll exchange a ticket from you, but we have to go to the store to change it, if the store is willing to sell the pot to me, I will give you silver, how to ......" The herdsman drooled, and directly asked to trade with the merchant to avoid being deceived, and it was not too early, he changed the pot, and he had to buy other things, and he had to go back.

"No problem, let's go......" The strong man smiled and followed the herdsman and went straight to the merchant who sold the pot.

……

"I want to buy a pot...... "The herdsman shouted from afar, returning to the merchant who had shown him the way to the "clear road".

"Do you have a ticket, this guest?" The shopkeeper was still smiling and asked politely. ,

"He has ......," the herdsman said loudly. Originally, he wanted to lead the horse directly to the horse market to exchange the horse for things, but the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers guarding the door told him to exchange the horse for silver coins first, and then go to buy things, and the horse market is not allowed to lead the livestock, so as not to hit something He can't afford to pay, he can only sell the horse first, take the silver and then go to buy things. He looked at the place where he changed horses, and he didn't want to do this business if he was going to collect the horses, but he didn't expect that the horse changer was a pertinent person, and after seeing his horse, he didn't pit him, and directly gave him six silver coins, for which he also rejoiced, and kept saying that there were good people in this Han people, so that the guys who came with him watched their horses outside the horse market, and he took the silver coins into the horse market, but he entered the horse market to buy things, he knew that the pit people were very bad, but he couldn't help it.

"Nuo ......" The strong man took out one from a stack of tickets, looked at it, and saw that it was indeed a pot on it, so he handed it to the shopkeeper, who looked at it with a smile and said with a smile: "It's a pot ticket, you can buy an iron pot, what about silver?" The shopkeeper checked the ticket and found that there was no problem, so he smiled and asked the herdsman for silver. The shopkeeper laughed that the Imperial Association had slaughtered another pig. But it's a net profit! That's more than a month's worth of his wages.

"Give it to ......," the herdsman hurriedly handed the shopkeeper two silver coins.

"One pot ticket, two silver coins, and a ......big iron pot for sale," the shopkeeper shouted loudly, and then put away the ticket and silver coins.

"I said, brother, our two silver coins ......," the strong man said quickly.

"Give it to ......" The herdsman didn't pay the bill, handed the strong man two more, looked at the two silver coins left in his hand, and shook his head.

The shopkeeper was also diligent, so he found a few straw ropes and a few wooden sticks for the herdsman to help the herdsman carry the iron pot on his back.

The herdsman was a little happy with the pot on his back, and although the price was a bit expensive, he had bought the pot he wanted.

"Big brother, I still want to buy some tea, needlework, I don't know if the eldest brother has tickets there, the price is negotiable......" The herdsman continued to talk to the strong man, if he could buy something cheaper through the hands of this big brother, he also felt that it was worth it, there was one thing, he was a little envious in his heart, that is, why did the Imperial Association have these tickets, they didn't? Since you can get these votes by working hard for the Han emperor, you might as well ask about the Imperial Association Army first, if you can draw it, maybe it is not bad to take refuge in the Imperial Cooperation Army, I heard that the Han people have produced a good emperor who is rare once in a thousand years, and the silver in his hand can be piled up into a mountain, and everyone says that the Han Emperor is very powerful. He happened to meet another Imperial Association Army, just to inquire about the inside story, anyway, who to sell his life is not to sell, warriors have always come to the Han people to beg for a living and sell their lives, more, the Man Gui who has been the governor of the Han people is not a person?

"Don't worry, what do you want, what do we have ......" The strong man waited for the herdsman to say this, he still wanted to earn the two silver coins in his hand, it stands to reason that he can earn at least one of them, the price is to give a few tickets out, he thinks that the emperor's method is better, better than the military salary, the silver coin is in his hand, really.

After a while, the herdsman happily bought a few needles, a few teas, and some salt, although it was much less than what he had ordered, but it was still complete, and as for the less, it could only be bought again in a few days.

"Big brother, you mean that the Han emperor still gives you grain?" The herdsmen were taken aback by the news! Now the grassland is very dry, and the grain is valuable, but I didn't expect that the Han emperor was even willing to give food to the imperial army, and this treatment was really high.

"That's right, we can get food every month, as well as cloth, sugar, anyway, what do you want, what......" The strong man boasted, the emperor did issue them food stamps, but it was not food, if they wanted food, they had to buy it with silver, but this is also better than ordinary people, at least, they can also buy cheap food, so as not to starve to death, although there is no direct food, it can be regarded as a way to guarantee.

"What about the Great Inner Building? Did the Han emperor give it to you too? The herdsman asked as he passed by a shop decorated with glass. This shop with glass is a place that specializes in selling guns, and behind the transparent glass, there is a row of large internal muskets, which is really attractive, but there are also many onlookers, and few people dare to enter. ,

"Hey, of course this is no problem, of course there is ......, our Majesty treats us, then it is really impossible to say, what do you want......" The strong man earned a few silver coins from this herdsman today, and he was also very happy, and saw that the herdsman asked about the treatment of their imperial army, so he blew it.

"If your brother also wants to join the Imperial Army, you can come to us, as long as you are obedient, strong, and able to fight, we guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy, what do you want......" The strong man boasted about himself while pulling this herdsman into the Imperial Army.

"Hey, hey......" The herdsman smiled a little excitedly, fantasizing about the day he would become the leader. In fact, he was carrying a pot on his back and carrying something in his hand, which seemed a little funny.

……

The whereabouts of these two people have been watched by the people in an arrow tower on the urn city.

"How?" Someone asked.

"Back to my lord, according to what I saw in the small one, the herdsman bought an iron pot, a few catties of salt, some tea and something, and the Imperial Cooperative Army collected money from the herdsman a few times, probably earning two or three silver coins......" said the soldier who had been observing the movements of the two people with a clairvoyant mirror.

"Yes, speaking of which, Your Majesty's strategy has worked!" In this arrow tower, the leader is a young man said calmly, this person is very young, too young, because he has no beard, it seems, but the age of teenagers, it is really surprising, this person is no one else, it is Zhu Shun, Zhu Gonggong, this time Zhangjiakou opened the border market, he is personally out of the horse, in addition to screening the merchants who buy and sell, is to personally sit in the town to test, the emperor's method will not work, if there is a problem, make adjustments in time, so as not to miss the emperor's major events, The purpose of his coming here is this, to make the decision on behalf of the emperor, to make appropriate adjustments in a timely and accurate manner, and now after observing the transaction process of some imperial alliances, he found that the emperor's plan has been initially implemented, which is a good phenomenon, and Zhu Shun is a little relieved.

Now the southern Xi Gonggong has made tens of millions of taels of silver for the emperor, although he also got a lot of silver, but compared with the Xi Gonggong, it is not enough to see, therefore, his pressure is extremely great, the emperor sent him here this time to implement this strategy, it is a thing that can be compared with the Xi Gonggong, this thing is done, people have since become the emperor's thugs, and the whole is not a problem, the situation of the border pass, for one, the Ming Dynasty has spent two hundred years of energy inside and outside the border wall, and finally can be loosened, and there is only this thing, can be slightly compared with the tens of millions of taels of silver of Gonggong Xi, so he must do a good job.

"Congratulations to my father-in-law, congratulations to my father-in-law......" A group of people on the side hurriedly patted their flatters. This group of people, most of them are dressed as officers and soldiers, wearing armor, holding sharp weapons, ready to fight at any time, outside the door, there are many officers and soldiers who have ambushed, in order to suppress it immediately once there is an accident in the horse market today, and it is a bad plan to do it, but fortunately, the horse market has been open for so long today, everything is calm, nothing major has happened, they are also relieved, and they have made compliments.

"Well, okay, our family won't listen to the good words, we just want to hear the bad words, and the place where we can say something inadequate, our family will be really happy." Although Zhu Shunren is young, he has also experienced the world, he can stand out from the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and he is an errand boy by the emperor's side, he has no ability, which is impossible.

"Father-in-law, the lower official has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." A person is also Zhu Shun's old follower, seeing that Zhu Gonggong wants everyone to put forward opinions, he immediately stood up and put forward opinions, this person is not afraid that Zhu Shun is telling lies, after all, he is an old follower, knowing that his own Zhu Gonggong is under pressure, and he must try his best to do the things that the emperor has explained, and there will be holy relatives.

Some people still don't know Zhu Shun's temper, but they look at the person who spoke in surprise, is this serious? Isn't it a scene? Some people who didn't know the inside story looked at this person in surprise.

"Say it." Zhu Shun said.

"Father-in-law, according to the lower officials, this horse market is open like this, it is obviously the benefit of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and it is obviously opened for the Imperial Cooperative Army, the lower officials are afraid that other tribes will see it and will hate it, if those tribes unite to find trouble with our Daming, this has to be prevented!" The man said according to what he had in mind.

"Hehehehe......" Zhu Shun listened for a while, and laughed, if this person knew the emperor's strategy, he would not ask such a simple question, of course, the emperor's strategy could not be told to anyone casually. Gonggong Zhu pulled his hanging hair and said with a smile: "This problem, you don't have to worry about it, Your Majesty has already prepared, most of this right wing is left, that is, Tumut and Woerdusi still have strength, who else is dissatisfied with this horse market, who else can there be?" But do I need to care about their dissatisfaction? Now that they themselves are still fighting with Lin Dan Khan for life and death, and if they provoke our Ming Dynasty again, wouldn't they be looking for death? Even if the conditions for opening a horse market in the Ming Dynasty are harsh now, what can they do, and they can still knock on the customs? Are the Mandu Governors, the Army, and the Imperial Association Army vegetarians? …… Hahaha......, however, if you can think about this problem, it means that you have also used your brains, not bad...... "Zhu Shun knows the emperor's overall plan, and naturally knows the strength to deal with the remnants of the right-wing forces, it is not good if it is too strong, they are really going to fight, it is too weak to do it, and it will not play a role in making the imperial army rentier. ,

"Father-in-law is smart, father-in-law is high!" Everyone looked suddenly enlightened, and they sent their sycophants one after another.

When the others saw this young father-in-law, the emperor and the big red man in front of him were easy to talk to, they all followed suit and put forward some suggestions, Zhu Shun also listened to them one by one, some problems he didn't take into account, and he didn't hesitate to praise a few words, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

……

In a restaurant in Zhangjiakou Pass, there are also some people, led by Tian Hongyu, and there are businessmen who partner with him to do business.

"Guozhang has a good means, this time, he has monopolized the business of this Zhangjiakou! In the future, we will enjoy happiness with the national ruler......" someone touted. The horse market opened well, the buying and selling transactions were still smooth, and the Imperial Association Army also successfully earned silver through the ticket, which was a happy situation.

"Hey, hey, hey......" Tian Hongyu sat on the first seat, smiled and accepted the respect of others, very proud, now the entire Zhangjiakou horse market, it can be said that he monopolized, originally, according to the emperor's will, there are other businesses to settle in, but he thought of an idea, got some means, he divided a business into dozens of merchants, each with their own signboards to do business, this fierce look, this Zhangjiakou horse market has dozens of businesses, the entire horse market is almost filled, very prosperous, but in fact, There is only one owner behind it, and that is Tian Hongyu. Tian Hongyu was in the emperor's place, he had a thought, after coming out of the emperor, he begged Zhu Gonggong and told Zhu Shun about this idea, Zhu Shun also felt good after listening to it, a family but a good control, this price or something plus unification, will not be casually because of the business to mess up the price, therefore, this Zhangjiakou business, only Tian Hongyu's family, as for the others, Zhu Shun values how the emperor's strategy is implemented, as for what favors, relationships, it is secondary, and it is better than anything else to do an errand for the emperor, naturally some people begged him, but if he smashed the emperor's errand, no one could save him, he was just a bunch of stinky shit.

“…… Hey, hey, in fact, it's not all work, there are still other people doing business in this Zhangjiakou, don't talk too much, we can't stand it......" Tian Hongyu said modestly.

"Guozhang is modest, the gun seller can't be counted, that can't be counted......" Everyone coaxed in unison, indeed, it is not appropriate to say that they are the only ones doing business in the Zhangjiakou horse market, isn't the gun seller in the horse market? It also occupies a good position, which is very conspicuous.

"Hehehe......" Tian Hongyu smiled and accepted everyone's compliments, the one who sold guns, to be honest, he didn't dare to provoke, that was the emperor's own business, if he used the means to sell guns, he himself would not have a good fruit to eat, and he would inevitably eat the emperor's meal.

“…… As long as you follow me Tian Hongyu and follow Your Majesty, you will naturally be indispensable, our business will earn him one or two million a year, just like playing......" Tian Hongyu was extremely happy and said loudly.

"Good ......"

"Good ......"

Everyone laughed again, celebrating today's victory.

“…… Brother Li, you have to pay attention to the matter of cultivating wasteland, now the Mandu Governor has arrived in Zhangjiakou, this Zhangjiakou is guaranteed, you can plant sweet potatoes for him on the land that can be planted inside and outside the Guan, we want to make wine nearby, sell it to people nearby, so as to make money, in addition to Zhangjiakou, Xifengkou, also plant it for him, as long as it is land, we want, the silver of the wasteland, go from the public account, do not need Brother Li to pay a penny of silver, this matter is done, not only do we make money, but we can win the favor of His Majesty, this reason, I Tian Hongyu will not go into details, understand? Tian Hongyu was half-drunk and half-awake, and said that at this time, the horse market was successfully opened, and he dared to open up this farming matter.

"Thank you for your support, I will do my best to ......" The businessman surnamed Li immediately stood up, very excited, if nothing else, it was enough to make His Majesty happy, that is to say, the idea he mentioned, the emperor saw it, and the emperor asked about it.

Everyone was envious again. RO！ ~！
