Chapter 444: Good Brother, A Quilt
Zhu Qizhen's mind is not on these cattle, sheep and horses, but after chatting for a long time, he can't say anything if he doesn't buy something.
So he came to the pen and asked, "What is the price of your cow?" ”
Aturu didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Is Huang Ye going to settle the bill with cash, or barter?" ”
Zhu Qizhen was a little stunned, he didn't prepare before he came, can he still barter?
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and immediately replied: "It's okay, depending on the price." ”
Aturu didn't think so much, and said: "If you settle the bill with money, a cow will be fifty taels, and if you barter, an ox will be worth ten stones of rice and two horses of silk!" ”
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "If it is exchanged, can it only be rice and silk?" ”
"You can also use raw silk, tea, salt, pig iron...... However, I will only count rice and silk, and if I use anything else, I need to register with the exchange. ”
"Exchange?"
"That's right, the exchange specially set up by the imperial court, in Orkhon City, Huang Ye is the first time to come here to do business?"
"Let my brother see me laugh, it's really the first time, I don't understand anything, haha......"
Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to laugh awkwardly.
Aturu was very disapproving, and said: "Huang Ye doesn't need to be modest, everyone who comes here to do business has the first time, it's better like this, it's almost noon, come to my house and sit down, I invite you to dinner, let's talk while eating." ”
Zhu Qizhen smiled: "It's not suitable, right?" ”
With a wave of his hand, Aturu said, "There are friends from afar...... Everyone is a guest, everyone is a friend, you're welcome! ”
Yuan Bin quietly tugged at Zhu Qizhen's sleeve, meaning that he couldn't go.
Good guy, you didn't have to say a few words, and you went to someone's house to eat?
If you are really a businessman, it doesn't matter, but you are the emperor, do you know what the details of this person are?
If there is a problem with this meal, I, the commander of the brocade guard, will be over......
Zhu Qizhen glanced back at Yuan Bin and said, "People invite guests, let's just take the host." ”
Yuan Bin looked horrified and was about to dissuade him, but he saw Zhu Qizhen glaring at him and shook his head gently.
It seems that this meal must be eaten.
Zhu Qizhen had his own plans in his heart, this time he went out of Beijing, and he ran away secretly, and no one knew about it at all.
Qi Qike's agreed time was three days later, and she was still making preparations in Orkhon City.
Even if someone wants to assassinate, he has to know in advance that his itinerary is not, the current situation, and even he himself doesn't know where he is going next, it is purely a whim, and it doesn't matter where he goes.
If you enter Orkhon City, you should naturally be extremely cautious and cautious.
Now looking at the simple Mongolian man in front of him, for some reason, he was completely unguarded in his heart.
Aturu led the way and said, "It's just messy, if you don't dislike it......"
"No, no!"
Zhu Qizhen put his hands behind his back and said, "It's the first time we came, so naturally we also want to make some friends." ”
When Aturu heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he said: "Our tent is not as strong as your Han people's house, but it is comfortable to live in, next time you come to Mobei, come directly to me!" ”
The tent door curtain was raised, and there was a woman and two and a half children inside.
Aturu said something in Mongolian, and the two children trotted out, and the woman turned and brought a tray with an iron kettle and several tea bowls.
Immediately after, she also muttered something, Aturu nodded, and then said to Zhu Qizhen: "Eat roast whole sheep at noon today!" ”
Zhu Qizhen was a little embarrassed, he was here to do business, and now he didn't buy anything, so he arranged a roast whole sheep first......
Aturu sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up the iron kettle, and poured out the milky white juice.
"Master Huang, taste our mare's milk wine first!"
Zhu Qizhen was not polite, and sat cross-legged according to his appearance.
"Brother Aturu, don't call me Huang Ye, it's too angry."
"What's that called?"
"Just call brothers, all brothers in the four seas, come, have a drink!"
Zhu Qizhen picked up the wine bowl and dried it in one gulp.
Seeing that the other party was so happy, Aturu was even more sincerely happy, and said, "Good brother, do it!" ”
Yuan Bin stood aside, his face full of bitterness.
When someone brings it to you, you drink it, you are so bold!
Forgot that bowl of fish soup?
As soon as Aturu looked up, he saw Yuan Bin's black face, and thought it was because he didn't toast others.
"This brother, sit together and drink!"
Yuan Bin didn't know what to say, so he had to shake his head.
It's not that he doesn't want to drink, it's that he doesn't dare.
This place is unfamiliar to the people, who knows what kind of changes will happen?
Zhu Qizhen knew in his heart, so he said: "He can't drink, he ...... Gout, you know, is a whole body ache when you drink alcohol! ”
Yuan Bin forcibly squeezed out a smile, nodded, and said secretly in his heart, you said gout, gout......
Aturu nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Then wait to eat meat, and it won't hurt to eat more meat!" ”
Zhu Qizhen picked up the wine bowl, drank it all again, and then smashed it and smashed his mouth, saying, "It tastes good, it's just too much." ”
Aturu smiled and said, "It's too strong wine, I'm afraid you won't be used to it." ”
The two of you have a bowl and I have a bowl, and after a while, a pot of mare's milk wine has reached the bottom.
Aturu couldn't help but re-examine the man in front of him, who looked a little polite and polite, but the amount of alcohol was surprisingly good.
Moreover, his style is very free and easy, but he does not look like a businessman.
"Good brother, you wait!"
With that, Aturu got up and walked out of the tent.
Yuan Bin suddenly became nervous, came to the door of the tent, pulled up a crack, and quietly looked out.
I saw Aturu come out of the small tent next to him, holding a jar in his arms, as if it were wine.
Yuan Bin quietly returned to Zhu Qizhen's side, and Atulu's rough voice came from the door: "My friend has come to have good wine, and I haven't been willing to drink this jar of wine for a year!" ”
Zhu Qizhen asked, "What kind of wine is this?" ”
"It's good wine!"
Aturu slapped the mud open, and the whole tent was immediately filled with a strong smell of wine.
Zhu Qizhen snorted and said, "Xinghua Village!" ”
"Brother Huang, you are too knowledgeable, you are Xinghua Village!"
Aturu was very excited, poured two wine bowls, and said, "Last year, a wine merchant from Shanxi came here to do business, and I bought it at a great price!" ”
Zhu Qizhen picked up the wine bowl, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said, "It's good, aged Xinghua Village." ”
There are all kinds of good wine in the palace, and Xinghua Village is also the most mellow, in comparison, the quality of this jar wine is still a little worse, and the vintage does not seem to be very sufficient.
However, in this kind of place, it is already rare.
But I don't know how much it cost Aturu to buy, but today he is willing to take it out and share it with himself.
"Here, taste!"
Aturu picked up the bowl and was very enthusiastic.
Zhu Qizhen also picked it up, took a sip, and sighed: "The entrance is soft, the mouth is sweet, and there is a lingering fragrance, like a fair lady, combing light makeup, good wine, good wine!" ”
Aturu's face was already flushed, and he asked, "Brother Huang misses the girl?" Do you want me to introduce you to a few girls on the prairie? ”
"It's not...... That's not what it means! ”
Zhu Qizhen didn't know how to explain it for a while, this was just a metaphor......
Aturu smiled meaningfully and said, "Man, when you're out of the house, you know, you know!" ”
Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to do, and was a little embarrassed.
A smell of fragrance came to my nose, and I saw Aturu's wife carrying a large tray with a whole sheep on it!
Yuan Bin hurriedly went over to help and brought the roasted whole lamb over, and the aroma became even stronger.
Aturu picked up the knife, cut a large piece of meat from the leg of lamb, and placed it on the plate in front of Zhu Qizhen.
"Try our roast lamb!"
In the process of holding the knife, Yuan Bin stared at him the whole time, and saw that he had no abnormal behavior, so he was a little relieved.
Zhu Qizhen picked up the leg of mutton, which was still steaming, so he blew on it and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, the aroma in the mouth overflowed, and the oil flowed down the side of the mouth, and the feeling was indescribable.
Aturu cut another large piece and placed it in the tray in front of Yuan Bin.
"Come, you eat too!"
Yuan Bin's face was tangled, and he didn't know what to do.
Zhu Qizhen smiled at him and said, "Taste it, it's much more delicious than the mutton you eat in Jingshi!" ”
Yuan Bin was helpless, and said in his heart that he loved it, but Lao Tzu didn't care.
It's just a big deal to die with you if something happens, how can you bear such fragrant meat......
With his mind in mind, he picked up the lamb from the tray and chewed it heavily.
Seeing this, Aturu was even more happy, eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl, wouldn't he be happy!
Zhu Qizhen ate several pieces of mutton in a row, and drank almost all the wine, and suddenly said: "I heard that many people have a lot of opinions about the current emperor, and everyone misses the old days. ”
"Also the first master? Haha......"
Aturu blushed, a little drunk, and said with a smile: "It's a fart first!" ”
Zhu Qizhen was stunned, can he still be like this?
Aturu continued: "Brother, you Han people don't understand, our previous days were very bitter! ”
The Mongols are a people on horseback, and they only respect the strong.
Zhu Qizhen swept across the desert and killed Yexian with his own hands, completely destroying Wara.
Since then, Warat has discovered that the grassland is not theirs, and the world is not something they can touch.
I thought that I could only be a slave of the Han people from now on, but I didn't expect that this was not the case.
With a decree from the emperor, countless Warat people were settled, and the court assigned them the task of either mining, or going to work, to reclaim the wasteland...... If you don't want to, then continue to graze.
It's just that the current pastures are demarcated, and you can't roll up the tents and go wherever you want like before.
Then they were amazed to find that if they were willing to work hard, they could get money.
With silver, you can buy grain, salt, cotton cloth, and even pig iron!
In the past, pig iron was contraband, and it was strictly forbidden for folk circulation, if it was found out who sold pig iron to the Mongols, it would be light to kill the head directly, and the three tribes would be punished at every turn, or even the nine tribes!
If the Mongols want to get pig iron, there is only one way, to grab it!
Looting also comes at a price, and sometimes, it's normal to lose your life for the sake of an iron pot.
In the grassland, a life is far less valuable than an iron pot.
But now, as long as you have silver, you can buy pig iron casually.
It is not difficult to get silver, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can earn silver.
In the past, this kind of life was unimaginable to them.
"Don't talk about that, drink!"
Aturu picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
Zhu Qizhen also took a sip and said, "But you are Mongolians after all. ”
Atulu was happy: "Is there any difference between the Mongols and the Hans?" In the face of immortality, they will all be born, old, sick and die, all of them are human ......"
Zhu Qizhen deliberately asked, "Do you really not miss the old days?" ”
Aturu was drunk, waved his hand, and said: "When the Warat people were at their most beautiful, the Tatars were crushed, you know, they claim to be golden blood, but what? ”
The Golden Bloodline is the descendant of Genghis Khan, also known as the Golden Family, and has always been regarded as the orthodoxy of the steppe.
During the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Tatars proclaimed themselves orthodox because their leaders were of golden blood.
No matter how big and strong the Warat people are, they can't get the orthodox name, and in the early period, they were only a Taishi at most.
"Brother, you said that you are also the first master of the scenery, right? However, my grandfather, my father, and I also went to fight first, and countless people around me died in battle, in exchange for what? ”
At this point, he looked grieved and angry, his chest heaving and angry.
"When he was also here first, he said that he wanted to restore the glory of Dayuan, and the warriors of the tribe willingly fought for him, so he said that our tribe, more than 2,000 people, and in the end there were less than 200 people left!"
"Even if we snatch things from your Han people, most of them are first, as well as his son, and those nobles of Dayuan, we worked hard and shed blood, and in the end we didn't get a few cattle and sheep, a few pieces of cloth, and a pitiful ration."
"The emperor of your Han people...... No, it should be said now, it was our emperor! ”
Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Yes, our emperor! ”
Aturu grinned and continued, "What's the emperor's name?" Oh yes, the Orthodox Emperor, you know, he's amazing because he didn't treat us like slaves. ”
"We are now the people of the Ming Dynasty, and we no longer need to serve the nobles of the past, and we don't need to rely on them to survive. We have the strength, we can mine, we can work, we can farm, we can graze, we can ......"
"As long as you are willing to work hard, you can earn money and support a large family, isn't it good to have such a day, why do you still miss the past?"
That night, Aturu was very drunk.
He said a lot, venting the grievances that had been building up in his heart for years.
For the lowest people like him, whether the ruler is Warat or the Ming Dynasty, there is actually no difference.
At the time of their first visit, their lives were still very hard.
After returning to the Ming Dynasty, there was a significant improvement.
For ordinary people, it is enough to eat enough and dress warmly.
This night, Zhu Qizhen couldn't sleep for a long time, because beside him, Atulu snored like thunder, and he almost wanted to lift this yurt.
I don't know how his wife and children endured it......
