When the horse team got closer again, Li Rusong suddenly shouted: "Takshi! ”

Before Xu Yuanzuo could react, he saw that someone in the group of Jurchens raised his head, and a group of people stood up in an uproar and ran towards this side.

- Is this a group mockery in Mongolian or Jurchen?

Xu Yuanzuo was taken aback.

Li Rusong and the guards did not look out of the slightest, and some of them even smiled.

The Jurchens who rushed over knelt down in front of Li Rusong's horse.

The first person raised his head and shouted, "General Li." ”

Li Rusong smiled: "Get up." How did you come to Kaiyuan? ”

- So you know each other!

Xu Yuanzuo was really a little speechless to Li Rusong.

"My son has grown up, take him out to see the way." Tucker Shi tilted his head: "Why did General Li come to Kaiyuan?" ”

"Bring my friend over to trade." Li Rusong introduced Xu Yuanzuo: "This is Xu Yuanzuo and Xu Jinglian from Jiangnan. ”

Tucker Shi knelt down on one knee and gave Xu Yuanzuo a thousand. This is the military salute of Liaodong, and from the subordinate point of view, whether it is a Jurchen or a Mongol, they are all military households under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division.

Xu Yuanzuo owed a debt on the horse, although he was a little rude, but he didn't seem to be offended by looking at Tucker. Instead, Tucker said to Xu Yuanzuo excitedly, "What did you bring to trade?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo saw that he was familiar with him, but he felt a little funny: "I brought a muslin from Jiangnan." ”

For people here, as long as it is cotton cloth, it is muslin, so it is a waste to really take the good goods of silk cloth, and ordinary cheesecloth can be sold at a good price.

Of course, there is also a shortage of silver here.

"What do you want to change?" Tucker said, "We have good horses and bear skins!" ”

"Ginseng?" Xu Yuanzuo asked.

Tuckers hesitated for a moment and said, "No. ”

Xu Yuanzuo was a little disappointed.

Tucker said: "If it was brought from Jianzhou, it would have been rotten a long time ago." ”

Li Rusong knew that Xu Yuanzuo wanted to collect ginseng. "That's true. If Jing Lian wants to collect ginseng, I'm afraid he will have to set up the cabinet outside the border. Even so, those old customers who drill the forest may not be able to catch up. It takes them ten days and half a month to come out. ”

Xu Yuanzuo touched his chin with some embarrassment: Could it be that the ginseng preservation technology has to spread out so freely?

"Jianzhou has ginseng, it can work." Tuckers hurriedly said, "You can go to Jianzhou to collect it." ”

Xu Yuanzuoqi said: "I can receive it when I go?" How do you store it? ”

Tucker said: "We saw old ginseng in the mountains, and we didn't dig it. Just tie it up with a red thread and don't let it run away. It's also about telling people. This is the Lord. When it's time to use it, go and pick it up. ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Li Rusong's heart moved: Could it be that Xu Jinglian just wants to transport the soil and ginseng back to Jiangnan? Then this is the price of tofu plate into meat. Can I sell it?

Xu Yuanzuo said: "That's fine." If I want to go to Jianzhou, what should I bring? ”

Takshi suddenly smiled: "Grain, cloth, salt, iron pots, iron tools, ......"

"Presumptuous!" Li Rusong's eyes narrowed.

Tuckers smiled awkwardly, "It's bald." ”

Xu Yuanzuo didn't mean that he was bald when he looked at him like this, and it was impossible to scold him in front of Li Rusong. This is clearly a hint: if we can smuggle iron weapons, we will definitely be willing to accept them.

"I wonder what else the guests will receive?" Tucker World Road.

"The fur that has been made, the coarse material is counted, as long as the precious material is precious." Xu Yuanzuo said: "I don't plan to bring other bulk goods, so I will purchase them from Kaiyuan." "Just think about it. There are certainly no well-developed post stations and roads like Liaodong outside the border walls, and the transportation costs of bulk goods such as timber are too high and the risks are also high.

Tucker said: "If the guests do business with us Jianzhou, they don't use it to open the plains, just go to Fushun." If you have a boat, it is very convenient to take the waterway along the Hunhe River, and there is no trouble with the Tartars. ”

Xu Yuanzuo looked at Li Rusong.

Li Rusong said: "Fushun is also an important town. The land route can go out from Fushun Pass, and the waterway can take the Hunhe River into the Suzi River. It's all very convenient. And Fushun also has a horse market. ”

Xu Yuanzuo was interested: "Can we go and have a look?" ”

Li Rusong said: "I was originally going to go out of the customs to inspect Taru Muwei, and then go to Jianzhou. If Jing Lian is not in a hurry to go back, we will go around from Jianzhou to Fushun Pass. "Escorting Xu Yuanzuo is Li Pinghu's task, Li Rusong is just accompanying him, and the real task is to inspect the side wall.

This wall was built during the Orthodox period, and it was not built to demarcate national borders - there was no later concept of a state in this era. It's just used to guard the key passes, just like the inner three levels in Jingxi. Patrolling the border is not a circle along the side wall, but also inserting depth, depending on how well the guards are guarded, and the key is to see whether there are Mongols and Jurchens who violate the rules and settle in places where they should not be camped.

Encounter them fighting each other. There is also an arbitration. If someone is not convinced, drop by. Although there are no taxes, you have to collect some local delicacies such as pine nuts, fungus, and mushrooms along the way, which is a reasonable burden.

"Let's go!"

Xu Yuanzuo said decisively. Now that the Xu family is still on the defensive, even if Xu Yuanzuo goes back, he will grasp the management, and he has no big plans to watch.

"Then let's go with General Lee." Tuckers excitedly.

Li Rusong did not object, but said: "Don't cause trouble along the way." ”

Tucker hurriedly cleared his eyes and said, "I brought my son out to know the way, how can I cause trouble." If we follow the general, we are afraid that we will be allowed to provoke others. ”

Li Rusong nodded and promised, turned to Xu Yuanzuo and said, "Jinglian, when do you think we will leave?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "If it is inconvenient to bring a car outside the customs, we will follow the ...... lightly."

"Convenient!" Tucker Shi shouted first: "Take something to our Jianzhou and sell it later." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "It's okay." He suddenly thought that Jianzhou Zuowei was the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now Nurhachi was still young, but his family was a hereditary position, so he asked: "Brother Ta ......"

Tuckers laughed when he heard this.

Li Rusong also smiled: "You just call him Takshi." His surname is Tong. However, all of them have the Han surname Tong, which is considered a tribal surname. ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled and nodded, and said, "Takshi, is the leader of your place Aixinjue Luo?" ”

"The leader is my father, called Jue Chang'an." Tucker asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with Aixin Jueluo?" ”

Li Rusong was also puzzled: "What love Xinjue Luo?" ”

"A distant relative of the Kim family?" Takshi translated it into Chinese: "Is it a rumor? ”

As soon as Xu Yuanzuo heard this translation, he immediately reacted: Aixin Jueluo should have been made by the Manchurians later. Most of them are still trying to cling to the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, and there may not be one at this moment.

"It's a long way, so it must have been a mistake." Xu Yuanzuo said: "If your father is the leader...... And who is your son? ”

"By the way, where's Piglet?" Li Rusong also asked: "The little tiger and the little leopard also brought?" ”

Tucker said: "I don't know where to go to the wild, it's really the right name, it's exactly the same as a wild boar." The little tiger and the little leopard are still young. Wait until you are ten years old and then bring them out. As he spoke, he turned his head to look for his son, let go of his throat and shouted, "Nurhachi! Nurhachi! Come out for me! ”

Xu Yuanzuo sat on his horse and saw a little boy with pigtails, greasy hair, and a dirty Mongolian robe come out of a tent. A pair of mouse-like eyes rolled and ran towards Takshi with his legs spread.

Li Rusong loosened the reins, let the horse step forward, and leaned sideways. Scooped up the dirty bear child and hugged it to his chest: "It's grown so big!" Do you still recognize me? ”

"Rusong Da'an answer!" The little kid was excited to grab Li Rusong's beard.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at this little kid, his eyes tightened: "This is Nurhachi?" ”

Li Rusong turned the little kid around with one hand, let him sit on the horse, and said to Xu Yuanzuo: "Yes, it's the firstborn son of the Tucker world." ”

Takshi was anxious and asked Nurhachi to come down. Nurhachi refused to live or die, relying on Li Rusong's horse, and finally was grabbed by his father. Pulled it down, slapped it twice before he obeyed.

"Nurhachi...... Wild boar skin? ”

Li Rusong laughed: "Nurhachi is a 'wild boar-like person' in Mongolian. Not wild boar skin. ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled and said, "It seems that I still have to learn Mongolian hard." ”

"It doesn't matter, there's an interpreter here." Li Rusong said: "Like the tribe where they specialize in business, many people can speak Chinese. ”

Xu Yuanzuo repeated: "Jianzhou Jurchen...... Is it a tribe that specializes in business? ”

Li Rusong didn't hear the strangeness in Xu Yuanzuo's words at all, and said: "Yes, they are a very loyal tribe in Jianzhou. Mainly by merchant, fishing and hunting. ”

Tucker yelled at his son, asked his son to stand up obediently, and took Li Rusong's words: "Yes, we don't like to fight in Jianzhou, unless someone else bullies us first." He paused. He said to Li Rusong again: "General, the Wang Wutang in the south is becoming more and more presumptuous!" If they rob our hunting ground again, we will have to teach them a good lesson. As he spoke, this Jurchen strong man exuded a murderous aura for the first time.

When Takshi said this, it was clear that the two tribes had reached the point where they were incompatible. Their hunting ground is equivalent to the field of the Han people, which is the foundation on which their survival depends. The one called Wang Wutang, since he stretched out his hand, he definitely wouldn't retract it easily. There will be a war between the two families.

Although Li Rusong is still young, he obviously has the essence of Li Chengliang: to defeat raze. So he didn't say anything at all, just showed an ambiguous look.

Tucker was relieved: Da Ming didn't plan to help Wang Wutang, so he could do it calmly.

Xu Yuanzuo's attention was not on Takshi, and it all fell on Nurhachi. He is not proficient in national history, and he knows for the first time that the Jianzhou Jurchen still has such a well-behaved era, but he doesn't know where the turning point of transformation into a rebel is. At the same time, it was even more difficult for him to connect the name of Nurhachi, the killer king, with the little kid with the snot in front of him.

- Same name and surname, right?

This thought kept spinning in Xu Yuanzuo's mind.

The little kid shrunk his chest and raised his head, snorted, and sucked back the runny nose, obviously swallowing it into his stomach.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at his throat tightly, turned his face away, and said to Shi Tie: "You are also from Jianzhou, don't you know Takshi?" ”

Shi Tie shook his head: "They said it was from the left guard." ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "Let's count the goods and take a rest, it seems that we have a long way to go this time." ”

In the afterglow, Xu Yuanzuo saw that Nurhachi was also looking at him curiously.

Li Teng was impatient to see other people's old friends reunited, rode out for a spin, and came back to Xu Yuanzuo: "This place is rich in water and soil, and it is a good place." ”

Li Rusong heard it and said, "This was once the jurisdiction of the Huanglong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, and it can be regarded as familiar land. ”

"Oh? The Yellow Dragon that Yue Wumu wants to go straight to? Li Teng said.

"Exactly, but this is on the edge of the Huanglong Mansion, and the Huanglong Mansion that Yue Wumu wants to reach is still five hundred miles away." Li Rusong added: "Now there is nothing there, just a few Mongols occasionally go back to graze." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "There will be more people in the future." ”

Li Rusong said: "I hope so." ”

Everyone stayed overnight in Kaiyuan City, and at dawn the next day they headed for Zhenbei Pass in the northeast. The convoy turned out to be mighty, and it joined the 100 Liaozhen cavalry led by Li Rusong and Li Pinghu, which was even more spectacular. The Jurchens led by Takshi also rode horses, dragging the goods from the trade in front of the forefront, which was regarded as a pioneer.

Nurhachi, who was about to be eleven years old, also rode a pony, running back and forth, leaving behind a string of laughter. He didn't feel Xu Yuanzuo's strangeness to him at all, and thought that this Jiangnan man liked him as much as Da'an Answer, and turned around in front of Xu Yuanzuo's horse's hooves from time to time.

Li Teng found that Xu Yuanzuo looked at this child differently, and said, "You don't like this child?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo frowned: "It's too noisy." ”

"Savages." Li Teng said in a low voice.

Xu Yuanzuo's words turned on the tip of his tongue: "If I say that this child will be a murderer of the people in the future, do you believe it?" ”

Li Teng stared at Nurhachi seriously for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not my forte. ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed for a long time: "Even if it's true, I can't do anything to a ten-year-old child." ”

Li Teng looked sideways and said, "You are such a businessman who is kind and wealthy, how can you move such a bloody and cruel heart?" ”

"But he killed slightly more." Xu Yuanzuo choked.

- Three million, shouldn't it be less?

Xu Yuanzuo has no hatred for the little piglet Nurhachi in front of him, but he is full of disgust for Nurhachi in the history books. The big households in Jiangnan said "killing poor ghosts", but in fact it was just robbery. Nurhachi's so-called "killing poor ghosts" is a real head on the ground. What's even more outrageous is that Nurhachi not only killed the poor ghosts without grain, but also killed the rich households with grain, completely running for racial extermination.

Li Teng did not have this kind of psychological burden, and laughed and said: "There was once a scholar who looked at the appearance of a Confucian student, and said: I look at your face, you should get married at the age of twenty, and have three sons in a row after marriage, and you will be rich and safe in your life, and you will have no worries in your old age." The Confucian said: I am now fifty out of thirty, and I have lived alone. In order to study and test for fame, the family's land and property were sold. Who will marry me? Guess what the priest said? ”

"How?"

"Reading can change your life!"
