Jiang Lang is a well-known wealthy merchant in Taiyuan Prefecture, and his business is to buy medicinal materials from all over Shanxi and sell them to the grassland, which is extremely profitable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Medicinal herbs are life-saving things, whether it is for people or livestock, the witch doctor shaman and the other characters on the grassland, what animal feces, or even human secretions to get out of those medicines will not have any effect at all, compared to these garbage, the Chinese medicine of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to a miraculous effect.

Like most of the merchants in Taiyuan City, Jiang Lang had a huge village outside the city, which was full of large warehouses, and the goods sent to the grassland were stored in the warehouses.

With Jiang Lang's status, there is no need to personally go to the grassland to deliver goods and collect money, and his eldest son Jiang Tuo is the commander who leads the team out of the border pass.

The profit is almost a huge profit, and the Jiang family is willing to spend money to do something, every time Jiang Tuo goes out, the generals at the level are very polite and respectful to him.

Jiang Tuo came, the border soldiers who guarded the card prepared the tables and chairs first, and took out tea and snacks to entertain them, and the general manager of Qian who killed the tiger's mouth stood on the side with a smile, and saw the soldiers inspecting the carriages one by one, Jiang Tuo's brows furrowed, and he said:

"Has this month's part been delivered, don't be careless by the people below, delaying the brothers to drink tea."

Mr. Qian was stunned, shook his head and said with a smile:

"Jiang Gongzi thinks too much, you see that there is not a person wearing a flying fish suit, it is said that there is a big man coming over there in Jingshi, Jinyiwei is very nervous here, come and stare at everyone to keep busy, and the brothers below can't slack off, how much they have to be busy."

After saying a few words, Mr. Qian leaned closer and said:

"Jiang Gongzi, I didn't bring anyone this time, let the brothers avoid it!"

Jiang Tuo also shook his head with a smile and said:

"The girls over there in Datong are not willing to serve the Tartars, and it is not easy to invite Langzhong who is willing to go to Naturalization City, so I can bring people out this time."

After checking it, there was nothing to see, Jiang Tuo dropped ten taels of silver, said "Come back to eat wine", and then got on the horse and left, staring at the brocade guards here and took two taels of silver and left, which provoked the border soldiers at the checkpoint to scold constantly.

The reason why this medicinal herb business is so prosperous is because Jiang Lang also used a lot of money to recruit Lang Zhong to go to Naturalization City, these Lang Zhong to the Tartar nobles to see a doctor, the medicinal materials are naturally sold quickly, and the relationship between the top and bottom is also taken advantage of this to be thoughtful, and there is another case, the nobles of the Naturalization City are tired of playing with the women of the Western Regions and Mongolia, and the Han women who have been captured are either fierce or average, and they want to find such beautiful and amorous Han beauties.

The left and right are doing business, and the Jiang family is really buying beautiful women from Datong and everywhere to go to Guihua City, medicinal materials are profiteering, and this human trafficking business is even more profitable.

However, it is easier for medicinal herbs to get out of the border village, but it is difficult to traffick women out, but there is also a way, let these people dress up as guys who follow the team, and then the soldiers of the border card will check loosely.

It's already late autumn, the grassland is yellow, Shao said that before the Jiang family's caravan went out, there was a light snow, but it was not retained, and the business of other families was the off-season at this time, but the Jiang family's medicinal herb business was not divided into off-season and peak season, and many of the wealthy chiefs of various departments on the grassland were willing to buy more and go back to hoard, and the medicinal materials were not sold.

At night, Zhao rested on the side of the small tribe, and the head of the Jiang family's caravan also asked in confusion

said that the old Keliao of this small tribe went there, and someone in the tribe replied that he went to Guihua City to do business, and there were many other familiar faces, and the people of such a small tribe on the grassland were not fixed, and everyone was relieved to have cooked noodles.

This small tribe set up a shack for the passing merchants, and at night they built a fire outside, and it was very comfortable to be hot inside, but Jiang Tuo was born in a rich family and had never suffered much since he was a child

Naturally, he couldn't treat himself badly when he came out to deliver the goods, and there was a tent for him to set up.

I all know that Young Master Jiang doesn't like greasy, and he also gets vegetables from Taiyuan Mansion, and Young Master Jiang also has a reputation for showing talent, and he always wants it at night, of course, people don't know that these are all pastimes such as legendary words.

Calculating that there are still a few days to get to the Naturalization City, Jiang Tuo has a good Mongolian lady in the Naturalization City, compared to the Ming Dynasty woman to have another style, Jiang Tuo thought of this, his heart is hot, Jiang Tuo's tent, there is a special white copper stove, so that the felt tent is also quite warm.

Jiang Tuo fell asleep in a daze, but he was awakened by the cold in the middle of the night, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the tent had been lifted and several people were standing in front of him.

This small tribe has always been at ease, not to mention that he still has a few capable guards, how could something happen, Jiang Tuo subconsciously shouted.

The terrible sound of help quickly spread throughout the small tribe, but no one went to the rescue, in the open space where the carriage was parked, the torches were bright, and the guys of the Jiang family were tied up and thrown to the ground.

"My father has a relationship with the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, and my family also has a relationship with Yun Shanwei's generals, you arrest me, you want to cause trouble......

The guys of the Jiang family are all frightened, and a few old adults are even more afraid when they hear this Jiang Tuo speak, so they don't think they will live a long life, and if they don't kill them, they will kill them.

"The rabbit is the same as the character, the grandfathers are happy on the grassland, and the official of the Ming Dynasty is a bird!!"

This person's accent is like that of Liaozhen, as soon as he spoke, there was a Mongolian dialect on the other side, and many of the Jiang family's men knew Mongolian and could understand that this meant to shut up the shouting people.

There are Mongols and Han Chinese, it seems that this is not the team of that family, this is the horse bandits, the place between the Naturalized City and Datong Town, is protected by the Great Khan of the Altan Department and the general army of Datong Town, and those who want to sell here without capital will be chased and killed by both sides to death without a place to be buried.

Hearing this Mongolian language, Jiang Tuo thought that he had a plan, and shouted there again:

"I also have a friendship with the Sangha Duguleng Khan......",

Before he finished speaking, he was thrown to the ground by the person who grabbed him, and smashed the scabbard in his hand a few times.

"Don't move honestly, whoever dares to mess around, Lao Tzu will have wealth and life!!"

Looking at this gang of fierce robbers, who dares to talk and move more, they can only watch as those robbers search everyone's soft body, and the carts are all driven away.

In the end, everyone in the convoy was tied with a black cloth on their eyes, and I don't know how long it took, at dawn, someone came to take off the black cloth on their eyes, but it was a person from this small tribe, and the old Kliao also came out with a depraved look, and only after asking did he know that the day before yesterday was surrounded by hundreds of horse bandits, and the dishonest people were tied.

"You also said that you were a personal soldier for Sun Daying, and the thieves did their tricks, you can't see it!"

"When they came in, Lao Tzu was awake, took a knife and put it right, and was knocked down by someone with a punch, damn, what kind of horse bandit has such a ability......"

Jiang Tuo didn't hear the discussion of his own head and guards at all, he was scared and angry in his heart, these bastard horse bandits, they actually dared to touch the Jiang family's goods, they actually dared to beat him in front of so many people, these medicinal materials were brought to Guihua City, not to mention the net profit of 15,000 taels, and now they were robbed, how to explain when they went back.

"Young Master, what should I do?"

"You rode a horse to Guihua City, went to find the nobles, and said that the medicinal materials sent to them were robbed by horse bandits, let's go back to Datong to sue the official!!"

Jiang Tuo understands that things have come to such a point, and their Jiang family can't do anything, as for how to sell these medicinal materials, it is really easy for those horse thieves, the small tribes on the grassland are willing to exchange cattle, horses, gold and silver for all kinds of medicinal materials, and the Jiang family has taken directly usable wound medicine in order to make it convenient for the Mongolians in the naturalized city, and these things are urgently needed by various tribes.

Jiang Tuo's face was distorted with anger, and he gritted his teeth and thought that when he caught the horse thieves, he would see with his own eyes that these horse thieves were cut by thousands of knives and cut on the grassland to feed the wolves.

On the other side of the small tribe, some people have already beaten their chests and cried, and a few businessmen who partnered with the Jiang family's convoy naturally couldn't please them, and the goods were robbed of a fine light, but fortunately, the most basic sense of proportion of this horse thief was still there, leaving everyone with a return car.

…………

Since August, the caravans from Shanxi to the area around Guihua City have been repeatedly robbed, such as the Huang family trading house, which is famous in Shanxi, and the Jiang family, which is a big medicine businessman, have all been looted by horse bandits on the grassland, and those small and medium-sized merchants below have also been looted.

I replied and the Ming Dynasty had a collegiate discussion, the merchants were legal to go out of the border to trade, and they were robbed on the grassland, and the wealthy businessmen found their own relationships on the grassland to find a way in private, and at the same time went to the government to complain, and those small and medium-sized businessmen, they could only go to the government to complain.

Complaints and pleas are piled up in the duty room of the government, fortunately, the actions of those horse bandits are quite regular, and the lives in their hands are only ten, and the pleas of small and medium-sized businessmen are ignored, but there are a few wealthy businessmen, but there is a faint background behind them, but it is not good

And now there is a big man from Beijing, after all, this kind of thing is disgraceful, and it falls into the eyes and ears of that big man, which is to smear everyone's face, if this master returns to Beijing to say a few words in front of the Son of Heaven, then everyone will be unlucky, and it is necessary to consult with each other in the Yamen official office, and come up with a way to deal with it.

Wang Tong arrived at Taiyuan Mansion in early September, and he first gathered the corresponding officials in the Yamen of Shanxi's political envoys, and the governor of Shanxi, the political envoys of Shanxi, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the prefect of Datong Prefecture all came.
