Chapter 99 The Grain Trade
They were wrong, with the reference of their predecessors, would Zhu Yuanzhang still learn from the former Song Dynasty and light on martial arts? Will he still be like the former Song Dynasty and steal his life, which emperor of the Ming Dynasty has no blood, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies Sheji, and the descendants of the old Zhu family are bloody, so will Zhu Yuanzhang be worse than them?
On October 12, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Chen Youliang met with the envoy of Tuhuan Timur, and the envoy handed Chen Youliang the letter of state. Chen Youliang still thought: Is this cowardly? It's really not the same time anymore. Chen Youliang picked up the national letter and read it carefully, his face was blue for a while and white for a while, this is an attitude of seeking peace? Emperor Dayuan is now sympathetic to your country, and he will go to the country, and I hope you don't know what to do. The meaning of this sentence is: I have compassion for you, withdraw the troops from your country, and you don't know what is wrong, and also withdraw the troops for me.
Originally, Chen Youliang saw that the soldiers were tired, and thought that since they had all come to sue for peace, then they would agree to it, but the attitude of this letter of state was really very bad, and the angry Chen Youliang tore up the letter on the spot and replied: "Go back and tell Tuhuan Timur, we refuse." ”
Just as the envoy was still struggling to persuade Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang launched a strong attack and broke through the city of Ji'an. That's right, in front of the envoy, the Yuan army was defeated in front of the envoy, and even carried out three rounds of pursuit. Chen Youding didn't know why the Han army, which was originally a little tired, was like fighting chicken blood, desperately beating them, he meditated hard, and couldn't think of a reason, he wouldn't know that all this came from the diplomatic activities of the two countries.
After the city of Ji'an was breached, Chen Youding naturally lost his foothold and withdrew to Ganzhou, and the Han army naturally pursued from time to time, and now it was their counteroffensive stage.
Since the Han army defeated the coalition army in Changsha, he felt that something was wrong, he felt that their general trend had gone, and now he was still meddling in the war in Nanyang, so he had already sued Chen Youliang for peace, Chen Youliang looked at the attitude was good, and it did take time to recover the city, and now they are willing to directly give up control of the city, which is sincere enough. So after the signing of the treaty, the Han army took over the captured city, and the Han-Liang War ended.
He Zhen also signed a peace agreement with Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang's idea is that the strength of the Guangdong Army and the Yuan Army and the Chen Army is already much stronger than the Han Army, and now He Zhen is willing to withdraw from the war, that is naturally good, they can concentrate on dealing with Chen Youding, for Chen Youliang, in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang is his first big enemy, Chen Youding is also his confidant, Chen Youding has basically not stopped their attacks since the attack on Chen Han, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, they are basically a small conflict every three days, There has been a big conflict in five days, and now I just have free time, so it is best to solve the scourge of Chen Youding.
At present, the south side of the city wall has been completely built, and the two indigenous brothers of the umbrella tree tribe have basically learned to communicate, and have begun to be responsible for trade affairs for the tribe, of course, they will come to learn the Cham language as soon as they have time, first of all, the two brothers are responsible for the grain trade, their food is almost eaten, if they can buy it from here, they don't have to hunt, and they can reduce casualties without hunting.
Now their tribe only has the furs collected before, Gubi Gubi is just in the humid tropical climate zone, the temperature is basically not low all year round, so they don't need to pay attention to the problem of keeping warm, the furs are piled up on the corners of the tribe, now this season is actually very southern tribes are needed, originally before the Cham people came, they were ready to go to the southern tribes to trade with them.
"A piece of fur is worth 50 catties of grain for you." According to Hou Zongsheng's words, in the end, these people will be assimilated into the Cham people, that is, the Cham people, and the grain must be sold at domestic prices, of course, it is okay to be a little cheaper. Therefore, the officials directly calculate the exchange rate and give their prices.
Can a piece of fur be exchanged for fifty catties of grain? The two brothers were shocked, is this grain so worthless?
Seeing that the two brothers stopped talking, the official was also troubled and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with the price?" ”
They hurriedly said, "Fur is so valuable? You can exchange fifty catties of grain. "Fifty catties of grain is enough for a family to eat for a month, in other words, enough for two hundred people in the tribe to eat for a meal, and all they pay is fur, if they go to the southern tribe to exchange, they can't even exchange one-tenth.
"No problem, it's too affordable." They said.
"Grain is strictly priced in our country, and the Governor is really kind to you, and I sell it to you at domestic prices, and our general export price will be much higher than the domestic price."
The two brothers nodded, now that they had finished discussing the price of food, they should go back and report the matter to the tribal chief.
Umbrella Tree Tribe
"Chief, they are indeed sent by the kingdom of God to save us, the two of us talked to that man about the price of grain, and they directly exchanged a fur for this sack of grain." Indigenous tribes do not have a unit of measurement, and they prefer to refer to quantity by an object, such as the two brothers who are now talking about the grain that can be exchanged for a fur.
"Yes, that's about the weight of the stone." The two brothers are talking to the title of the play with the tribe.
"My goodness, it's so heavy, you kid didn't lie to us. A piece of fur can be exchanged for something that heavy. ”
"You still don't believe it, lie to you I'm a dog." The two living treasures were still telling the rest of the tribe, and he said, "Didn't you say that my father always knew a lot of things, I suspect that my father has been to the kingdom of God, and he can speak the language of the kingdom of God. ”
The chief had a deep impression of the young man who was of a different colour from them, but he had heard that he had disappeared and never returned, and had sent for condolences when their family had lost their father's breadwinner.
Since the affairs of trade are proceeding in an orderly manner, they want to learn the cultivation technology, of course, before they learn the language of the kingdom of God, until there is no obstacle to communication, they feel that the language of the kingdom of God is a very wonderful language, once they learn it, they can understand what the angel is saying, and the language of the gods seems to be able to be recorded, their language is not good, their language is passed down from generation to generation.
Now that the sowing season has long passed, and with the time to learn the language, it is almost time for the next sowing season, when the time comes to cut another wave of leeks.
