"Let's go! You damned Aha [Note 1], you can't eat the whip of the master! โ
The source of the clamor was several ugly-looking knights, who were screaming and screaming while slamming their whips mercilessly on ragged pedestrians.
"It's all you damn minions, otherwise how could we go out now, sir, and still want to be lazy!"
Inadvertently, the time has entered the end of April. Even in the bitterly cold land of Liaodong, it is now the season when the ice and snow melt and the earth warms up. Unfortunately, in addition to the green and vibrant greenery, the melting of the snow and ice has also brought rising rivers and muddy roads that have forced everyone to struggle on muddy roads. Because of this, the knights who have made the wolf bรจi unbearable will continue to vent their rising anger on the culprits who have caused them to suffer so much.
Of course, the expelled and beaten slaves did not dare to resist, and the bitter lesson of the previous year told them that those who resisted were always slaughtered. Therefore, even if they were driven out of the shack where they had settled down and driven to the unknown by their masters, these people who had compromised with their fate still endured in silence.
However, the leaders of the evil knights were a little overwhelmed: "Okay, don't scatter the evil fire casually. โ
"My lord, why be gentle with these barbarians." One of the knights responded. "They only recognize the whip."
"Yes!" The smiling leader drove his horse to the knights, and suddenly drew his saber, and struck the speaker with the scabbard, and after the other man screamed, the leader looked around at the frightened crowd. "Bastard thing, you know what." The leader reprimanded. "Don't think that I don't know your dirty thoughts, do you feel that there is no one in the field to cultivate for you, feel uncomfortable, sue you, this group of people is more expensive than you, there is one less on the road, and when you get to the land, there will be one less Mongolian prince to come back, this kind of involvement, it is said that you can't afford it, even Ben Zuoling can't afford it."
Only then did the submissive man in armor wake up, yes, he was just the one who used the identity of Icher Manchuria [Note 2] to fight for the tiger, and now the tiger itself was about to be killed, how dare he be too public, so he retracted his minions one by one, although his mouth was still scolding, but the whip fell in the air most of the time
If there were anyone in this era who could stand high in the void and look down on the earth, there would be dozens of such escorts in the vast land of Liaodong, following their route, crossing rivers and mountains, until they came to a certain harbor on the edge of the sea.
"Lord He, the people have already been counted." Still a distance away from the harbor, on the north side of the wooden city formed by a group of wooden fences, a Qing court official wearing a warm hat was looking at the Zheng Fan officer opposite with a smirk on his face. "I ask Lord He to sign the receipt paperwork, and the next official will be sent back to Beijing by Pegasus."
According to the results of the Xixian negotiations, the Qing and Zheng sides agreed to exchange the package price of 500 slaves from the old tribes of the three feudatories or other Liaodong slaves in exchange for a captured Mongol prince Taiji. According to the exchange process, the Qing court first collected the old departments of the three feudatories in Ningguta, Heilongjiang and other places according to the list of prisoners provided by Zheng Fan, and then sent them to Haeju, North Korea in batches, and Zheng Fan issued a receipt document after checking, and then the Qing court forwarded the document to Xi County for comparison with Zheng Fan's copy, and if it was correct, Zheng Fan released a Mongol prince Taiji in Xi County until the final exchange.
Of course, considering that there must be old and weak women and children who will not survive the end of the trip, the number of people in the old departments of the three feudatories provided by the Qing court is more than agreed. However, after more than ten years of torture, there were not many remnants of the three feudatories in the northeast, so the Qing court could only drive all the other Han slaves and their descendants who were exiled to the northeast to Haizhou, and even recruited landless refugees from Hebei and Shandong to pretend to be the old departments of the three feudatories, and there were also many secret spies from all walks of life who secretly stuffed into it.
"Lord Heqila, the head is right, but look at it, all of them are yellow and thin, how can they survive the bumps in the sea, and we have to spend food to feed them for a long time," He Tian, who volunteered to represent Zheng Fan, was born in the Jiayin period of the boy battalion, and now he is a commander of a five-rank ship in the Beiyang Detachment, although he is not as good as Ma Ying, Chu Jin and other four-rank admirals, but his qualifications are also very old. "How can this be made, so this character can't be signed by the official, and this official can't be drawn."
This is deliberately difficult, absolutely yes, but the Shengjing inlaid yellow flag coated ginseng collar Sa Sanduo on the opposite side didn't say anything, just reached out to hold He Tian's hand, He Tian was excited: "What do you want to do?" โ
Before he finished speaking, he felt that there was an extra bag of things in his hand, which was angular to the touch, and the weight was quite heavy.
At this time, I heard Sa Sanduo smile and said: "Please raise your noble hand, just a small salute is not a respect!" โ
He Tian really couldn't understand how the other party conjured a bag of silver from the horseshoe sleeve, but he was just taking the opportunity to reprimand the other party's addiction, but he unexpectedly knocked on a bamboo bar, he fainted first, and he didn't know what to say, so he signed and drew on the official document handed over by the other party.
Looking at the satisfied back of Sa Sanduo, who breathed a sigh of relief, He Tianyi patted the back of his head: "What the hell, so that you can also take silver, I knew that Lao Tzu would knock him more." โ
Having said that, He Tian casually threw a silver bag of almost fifty taels into the hands of the guards: "Go and hand it over to the prison officer, and say that the Tartars have wronged the big head, and there is a way to take it for nothing, and record it in the account, and add a bowl of porridge to these people of the three clans, all of them are thin and yellow, and it is also a burden to send them to the south."
In addition to the handover of the "old department of the three feudatories", according to the construction of Sukhatu, the two sides also opened the Rishiba mutual market a little further away from Mucheng. The first shipments of goods from both sides have arrived, and since the war between the North and the South has not been extinguished, the trade route between the North and the South has been interrupted for many days, so there is a need for each other. For example, southern sugar, cotton cloth, lake pen, rice paper, pepper, ivory, mercury, sumac, swallow's nest, shark fin, rhino horn, kun skin, whalebone, whale oil candle, and northern fur, eastern pearl, horsehair, ginseng, soda ash, amber, shochu, large wood, etc., but the two sides tacitly did not provide any metal, Zheng Fan did not provide silk fabrics, tea, porcelain, lacquerware, which were in high demand in the maritime trade, and the Qing court did not intend to sell horses. However, Rao was like this, and several directors of the Internal Affairs Office who came from Beijing to preside over the transaction had their eyes shining one by one, and it was obvious that the deal was getting bigger.
"Lord Qi," Zheng Fan's side is also the Department of Internal Affairs, but it is not the manager's office but the investigation department. "Time is pressing, and it is a pathfinder, so there are not many things this time, if you think you can, and you can arrange enough goods, you can trade for a long time."
Since the Qing court could only transport by 6 routes, it was obviously not as efficient as Zheng Fan's sea transportation, so the Qing court actually hoped to move the place of trade back to China from Qingzhou: "Master Wu, can we change the Shibi field to Xixian or Huaibin, so that we can easily raise goods, and can we bring some Jiangnan silk next time." โ
"I'm afraid that the domestic mutual market will not work, after all, the two sides have not yet reached a peace agreement, and for the sake of security, it is better to be in Cheongju." Master Wu of the Internal Affairs Department immediately rejected the other party's offer. "As for silk, I know that you have lost half of Sichuan now, and almost all the silk fabrics are gone, but it takes a lot of silver taels to buy silk, do you have the financial resources now?"
If a large amount of silver flows out because of the purchase of luxury goods, I am afraid that it will not be far from the complete bankruptcy of the finances, but because of this, silk has become a profiteering product, so after thinking about it, the internal affairs government is still ready to buy a part.
"Silver, we are indeed in short supply, but you are also afraid that there is something in short supply, right?" For more than 300 percent of the profits, the moths of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can even make a deal with the devil*. "One horse for five pieces of silk, if it can be determined, next time, we will trade the volume of a thousand horses first."
"According to the price of previous years, it is indeed fair to exchange a horse for five silk silk, but the horse is not owned by your family, so why should I accept your price." Master Wu smiled and shook his head, he sat firmly in the Diaoyutai for this transaction, and he could ask for a sky-high price. "In my opinion, a horse can have a maximum of two lake ayas, if you don't agree, then forget it."
"Lord Wu, the price is not killed like this," Lord Qi of the Internal Affairs Office said very dissatisfied. "In this way, I'll give way, and a horse will be in the palace." Master Wu just shook his head and said nothing, and Lord Qi gritted his teeth and gave a new price code. "A horse for three and a half palace silks, the price can't be lower."
"No," Master Wu bit to death. "For every hundred horses at most, I'll give you another Tessie chiming bell."
With the withdrawal of the Tessie missionaries, the Qing court lost not only astronomy, calendar, and military science, but also imported goods, so a chiming bell is now worth a lot of money.
It's a pity that Lord Qi wants silk and don't ring the bell, so he proposed: "A horse can be exchanged for at least three pieces of palace silk, if it can be exchanged for three and a half, for every five hundred horses, we are willing to give you five hundred taels of silver." โ
Lord Qi persuaded: "This price is not low, Lord Wu, you must think twice." โ
"I don't dare ask for silver." Lord Wu is different from He Tian, He Tian can be dealt with according to the regulations on the seizure of the navy when he accepts bribes, but as a special agent of the investigation department, if he accepts the benefits given by the Qing court without permission, he will immediately be steamed after returning to the world. "In this case, I am in charge of the three and a half horses, but for every thousand horses traded, you must provide ten additional large trees with a diameter of three feet at breast height."
"Then it's a word"
[Note 1] Aha: Manchu slaves, also do their Ahha.
[Note 2] Yiche Manchuria: Manchu, the Qing Dynasty's name for the members of the Manchu community absorbed before and after entering the customs. The Manchu word "Yiche" means "new", so it is also called "new Manchuria". Originally, it referred to the Manchurians who were newly recruited into the Eight Banners during the Huang Taiji period. After the Qing Dynasty made the capital of Beijing, it called Kuyala, Huerha, Hezhe and others as New Manchuria according to the banner of Niu Lu.
