Chapter 172: Change (II)
Chapter 172: Change (II)
They really want to get rid of the old ten. But don't dare, they are princes, and they can't offend the Qing Dynasty yet. What's more, Lao Shi also gave them a lot of gold and silverware. You can't do that for the sake of those gold and silver objects.
You can't change the old ten, and the women can't change it back, if you want to be respected by women with dignity, you have to change it. So taking a hot bath and using bath beans was forced to become the new habit of the tribal aristocracy. Although this is the case, the anger in their hearts is uneven, so when they see the old ten openly and secretly, they will always say some cool words, and they are so angry that the old ten are half dead.
Lao Shi felt that taking a bath was actually a very comfortable thing, why did it become like this in the eyes of these people, unwilling to be called a sissy, so he suggested that they build a soup pool, so that the old men soaked together, chatted, drank and chatted Isn't it more comfortable than sitting in a tent?
Lao Shi really didn't think much about it at the time, men soaking in the pool and drinking and farting were one of the vices that were loved by people from all walks of life since the Song Dynasty. When Lao Shi was in the capital, he also went to the bathhouse with Lao Ba to see it, but of course he didn't dare to go down.
Now he suggested this more because he wanted to tell this group of gentlemen. Taking a bath is an elegant thing, and men should love cleanliness more! Besides, Lao Shi is still a prince after all, so let him really open his mouth to sell? He really couldn't open his mouth, except for the gift to the tribe, he didn't get a single order, and he felt aggrieved! Thinking of taking a bath and talking casually, maybe I could persuade them to come and buy their own things, so I made this suggestion.
There is no technical content in digging a pond, and a few slaves work together, and a large pool with stone bricks embedded in it can be made, attracting river water, and adding some boiling hot water, the weather is quite hot anyway, and the water does not need to be too hot.
Just as Lao Shi thought, a group of gentlemen met naked, leaning on the pool, the beautiful slave girls on the side served the wine and meat, everyone drank glasses and chatted, told meat jokes, and immediately found a new joy in life.
This is really more pleasant than drinking in the tent, and when you are happy, you can catch a female slave girl into the pool, which is not only embarrassing in broad daylight, but also has the meaning of comparing with each other, and since then these old and young masters have really begun to fall in love with bathing.
But it wasn't the short-sighted lord, I thought of it right away. It's a hot day, so just bask in the sun for the afternoon, soak in it in the evening, and add some hot water. But what about winter?
The old ten hands are spread, this is impossible, because they are nomads, and they can't let them build a house and settle down, right?
The old and young masters immediately patted their brains, why not? It was the herdsmen who lived on the pasture, not the aristocrats. In addition, the scope of activities of each tribe is fixed, and the station of the tribal lord is fixed. It's just that in the early years, everyone always thought that the tent was brighter than the house, so they didn't change it, and now maybe it's time.
Lao Shi was stunned and looked at his father-in-law's complacent, a little dizzy, he was here to sell luxury goods, why didn't people feel his luxury, but decided to move into the house one by one? What to do?
So Lao Shi sent people to come back quickly to ask for help, of course, there is another reason, people have lived in tents for several lifetimes, and no one will build a house.
When the eighth child received the report, he was speechless for a long time, and he was not ready to build a house for them! Lao Ten is too talented, right? How much money can you make building a house? What a fool Lao Shi is!
Xia Mo was also in a daze when she read the letter. It turns out that the Taijis won't be okay to move, right? When he saw that Lao Shi used a bath to attract these people to decide to build a house, Xia Mo immediately thought of the ancient Roman Empire. An old thing that brought about the fall of a huge empire because of his love of bathing. It turns out that it is really a corrupt way of life that can really destroy a race.
But think about it, how long has it been since Eight Banners entered Beijing? It was immediately inferior to the Han military banner, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, all the important ministers in the court were Han Chinese. Sure enough, he was born in sorrow and died in peace!
"Starling, let's make money second, the main thing is to let them not rebel and don't run with those people in Tsarist Russia. So, send someone! Besides, if you build a house, you have to put furniture in it, and it's not completely out of money. ”
"But you have to know that Mongolia is a barrier between us and Tsarist Russia, and after this group of Mongolian princes is finished, Tsarist Russia is really afraid that it will drive straight in." Lao Ba is not confused, he sent Lao Shi to sell luxury goods so that these princes could fight on their own, but they didn't really raise these people into waste.
"Isn't there a Mengbaqi? This is the end of the princes, just let Huang Ama rectify the Eight Banners of Meng, and it is the princes who are corrupted, not the Mongolian warriors below. Xia Mo glanced at Lao Ba, as if it was said in a main station book that Mongolia should be unified directly, and there would be no need to look at Mongolia's face from now on.
Lao Ba knocked on his head, he understood better than Xia Mo that Xia Mo said vaguely, and there was no specific operation method, for Mongolia. The Mongol princes were not Mongols if they let go of their power so easily. It will not give the old man a headache over the years, and he will get his daughter to kiss him.
But these words will naturally not be said to Xia Mo, carefully talked with the people sent out for a long time, reformulated a new plan, sent a large number of skilled craftsmen, and at the same time there are some lamas, there are many Mongolian people who believe in Huangjiao, but there are few temples and few lamas, so most of the people in the wilderness are Ao Bao, so that everyone has a spiritual sustenance.
The eighth man hemorrhaged, and built a big temple for the tribe for free with the money he earned from the tenth father-in-law, so the most majestic two-seat buildings in the tribe, a county king's mansion and a lama temple, gritted his teeth and threw money into it!
But the eighth didn't feel distressed for too long, and soon, the prospective father-in-law of the tenth found a problem, with a house, things were wrong, and what he liked before was wrong. The old ten sales are not successful, and it is still good to eat, drink and have fun. Immediately put in infinite enthusiasm to help my father-in-law decorate.
The order was sent to the old eight, and the old eight finally calmed down, and he happily put his energy into the direction of choosing things for the king of the county. The only criterion is, 'Don't ask for the best, but ask for the most expensive.'" ’
The king of the county was very depressed, the house was built, the things were bought, and the bathhouse was built, so the sons quit and asked for such a set. Can the county king not agree? It's not too much to ask, so let's pay for it! Hello!
The eighth child was even more unhappy, and at first he really felt that the old ten was really talented and did too well. That's a lot more profitable than selling luxury goods! So the eighth child waved his pen, so he sent a school for free, which was regarded as a rebate for the father-in-law of the old ten.
The county king finally looked a little balanced, although most of the gold in the library was gone, but he finally lived in a house in his old age, and lived the life that the old ten said this is the life that the county king should have, which is really comfortable!
People are proud, who is willing to walk in brocade clothes at night? So the king of the county was proud and sent a post to the other Taiji, princes, and county kings. Look at the fact that after we have a royal son-in-law, our life has improved several grades!
So the old eight days in Rehe saw his teeth and mouths, and began to wonder whether he should build a big warehouse to put gold! **, Borgizit is known as the 'Golden Family', I used to think that it was called so, it meant that they were illustrious, and they had been doing it for a long time, and they really had real materials.
So the enthusiasm of the old eight to build the temple and the school is higher, in order to quickly meet the needs of the building materials, the old eight began to build the road. As a result, Mongolian lama temples and schools have blossomed everywhere, and roads have been opened between various flags, and the business prospects are very good.
Xia Mo has to take care of the accounts, and he has to ask when he looks at the schedule, and after understanding the situation clearly, he began to sigh, is the eighth person human, this is the one who wears it, this brain is too angry, and he held his head and looked at the eighth for a long time.
"Look at what? I'm distressed, don't care about this little money, you have to look at the gold in our treasury! Of course, don't worry, I wrote an excerpt with Huang Ama, and Huang Ama will reimburse these expenses, we can't contribute, and we can't pay for it! Rest assured, rest assured! "The eighth is right, it's called a shun. He has always spared no effort to exploit the old man.
Xia Mo began to sigh, sighing for the old man, what kind of son is this? I earned a lot of gold, and asked the old man to reimburse the wages of migrant workers.
"Sigh, you are like this, let you pay, you are distressed, you don't let you pay, you think I'm wrong again." The eighth is not happy.
"I don't feel sorry for this money, I'm thinking if you are the stupid old man I know? Your brain will be used to calculate me in the future, am I not even a scumbag? Xia Mo sighed, she is very crisis-conscious. People now have the spirit of a king, are they planning to get another stallion harem?
"What do you mean?" The eighth didn't quite understand what Xia Mo's little mind was thinking, how could he have so many thoughts when he looked at the ledger?
"While you are making money from these old princes, you are building temples, schools, and roads, and the old princes are corrupted, but you control the minds of other people, and when there is really something wrong, the eldest brother and their army will be able to follow the road day and night. You're poisonous! Xia Mo sighed, the old eight use the school to control the younger generation in their hands, and the lamas control the thoughts of the current adults, this is the bottom of the kettle! It seems that the road construction is for the prince in modern times, but the most vicious thing is this, and Mongolia can be regarded as being pinched in the palm of the court in the future.
"You see that? That's a good idea! "The eighth is called a proud one!
"Well, it's important to let the children of the commoners go to school, so that their hearts are turned to the Qing Dynasty and learn to be loyal to the country, not to the leaders of their tribes. But you have to take your time, you ask Lao Shi not to be busy transporting money back, let them get a shop there or something, it can be regarded as our station, and if you see any difficulties, you can help them, and slowly put those nobles in the air. Xia Mo said the stallion of the main station by the way, no one is a fool, she is also tested.
"Daughter-in-law! You're not easy either! The eighth looked at his wife in surprise. Yes, opening a shop can pass on news to each other for a long time, and it can be regarded as scattering one's own people everywhere on the vast land of Mongolia.
"Just kidding, I've been learning from Su Ma for many years, and this is not the same as being a housekeeper." Xia Mo glanced at Lao Ba, "You haven't replied yet, will you also use these tricks on me in the future?" ”
"You also said, how many years have you studied with Su Ma, are you the fuel-efficient lamp?"
Xia Mo was right to think about it, so forget it, took the account book and divided it according to the shares, and wrote a letter to the prince and Sisi in the capital, and they sent someone to withdraw the money. The four-four reply letter is very simple, it exists there. The prince seems to be in need of money, and as long as he has money, he will immediately send someone to take it away.
