Chapter 406: The Commander Plays Hard
God, has anyone finally seen this?
Duo'er only choked up, and sighed: "Your Highness is wise." Isn't it just a matter of finding a way to build a wall? ”
Zhu Bai grinned: "Go hunting first." ”
Huh? I won't talk about it halfway through.
Duo'er only lost her knot and wanted to ask.
Zhu Biao has already run away.
Duo'er only lost the knot and gritted her teeth: Special mother, this kid is really hateful, and now that he has hung my appetite, he ran away again.
Zhu Bai ran to the river, and when he saw that the grass had just emerged, he could already see pheasants probing his brain by the river.
Zhu Bai was calm, stretched out his bow and aimed at the arrow, and did it in one go.
The "whoosh" arrow flew out, hitting the pheasant in the eye.
"Okay." Duo'er only broke the knot and screamed.
This voice is absolutely sincere.
Even if it is a full-fledged cavalryman, on a horse, it is difficult to guarantee a hit, let alone something as small as a pheasant.
The key is how old Zhu Bai is.
Before he could finish speaking, a pheasant fluttered and flashed its wings.
Zhu Bai quickly set up an arrow and fired an arrow at the pheasant in mid-air.
The pheasant fell from mid-air and shot again in the eye.
Duo'er was surprised that she only lost the knot, and it was even more difficult to do things in the sport of mounted archery.
He was a Mongol.
The Mongols did not obey anyone, but they obeyed those who were better at riding and archery.
Zhang Yu and the others knew that Zhu Bai was deliberately trying to show off his riding and shooting, so that Duo'er would only lose his knot, so they didn't move, and only surrounded Zhu Bai from a distance to guard against someone from sneaking up.
Zhu Bai put away his bow and said, "Okay, I'm done shooting, let's go back." ”
Duo'er only lost the knot and looked dazed: "Ang?!" ”
No, we haven't opened yet.
There's no such thing as you playing.
Zhu Bai didn't wait for him to say anything more, and Le Ma turned his head and ran wildly.
Zhang Yu and the others were also confused, so they could only pick up pheasants and follow Zhu Bai.
Eh, how can this kid not make a move according to common sense.
Duo'er only reacted when she lost the knot, and she was bitter in her heart and couldn't stop hard, so she could only chase after her head wildly.
When I came, I was leisurely, but when I came back, it was like a rush.
When Zhu Bai arrived at the city gate, he did not enter, but continued to run around the city.
The guards at the gates watched in amazement as they swept by like the wind.
Running to the southwest, Zhu Bai saw a bunch of people outside the city from a distance.
There it is.
Hehe, Duo'er only lost the knot and led me to the northeast city, and sure enough, there was something outside the southwest city that I didn't want me to see.
He smiled and approached.
It was a large circle of soldiers standing every other foot.
The outer ring is also patrolled by soldiers on horseback.
There are people in various ethnic costumes in the circle who are selling all kinds of goods, or walking around looking east and west.
It's clearly a makeshift market!
Zhu Bai slowed down, jumped off his horse, handed the reins to Fugui, and leaned over with a grin.
Duo'er only lost the knot and scolded in her heart: what a "little Hades"! couldn't let go for a moment, and he finally found out.
Zhu Bai stood beside the two merchants with great interest to watch them bargain, and finally made a deal, and the two people took their respective things and went out from the "door" surrounded by the guards, and then each handed over the silver to the guards before leaving.
Oh, it's a transaction tax to make money.
It's quite a bit of a job.
Zhu Bai suddenly realized and laughed.
Duo'er only lost the knot and died of embarrassment, following behind Zhu Bai, and she didn't dare to come out.
Zhu Bai looked around and said, "Let's go, go back." ”
Duo'er only lost the knot, holding a determination to see death as home, and silently followed Zhu Bai.
When he returned to the guard, he stood and waited for Zhu Bai to scold.
Zhu Bai smiled and said, "The adults are quite creative. ”
Also both buyers and sellers are taxed, it's really black.
Duo'er only lost the knot, Ren is old face was as thick as the corner of the city wall, and she couldn't help but feel hot, and whispered: "No way, so many people want to eat." ”
Xiningwei's tuntian can only grow barley oats and wheat, with low yields and only one crop a year.
Ten percent of the troops of the Huawei Institute may not have as much food as one percent of the troops in Jiangnan.
Xining City does not have a city wall yet, so Lao Zhu's rule that the border city guards "defend the city for three points and plant for seven points" is impossible to achieve in Xining.
He will allocate sixty percent of his troops to guard day and night, and then forty percent of his troops will farm.
Sometimes there is a good harvest, and there are people who come to grab it.
You will never be able to eat enough just by planting tuntian.
But most of his soldiers were soldiers he brought from Mongolia.
cried poverty to the court, and the officials in the court would not pay attention to him at all, always thinking that he was trying to deceive more military rations to help the Northern Yuan soldiers on the grassland.
He had to find another way.
Zhu Bai said: "Your method is very good. But you have collected the money, where are you going to buy food? ”
Duo'er only sighed: "I can only go to Hezhou." ”
Ning of Hezhou City is his old boss.
Besides, if Xining misses, Hezhou will not be happy, so Ning Zheng can help him if he can.
Zhu Bai smiled: "Don't be so troublesome in the future." This king wants to build an official tooth bureau in Hezhou, and he came to Xining to see if he can build an official tooth bureau in Xining, but the city wall of Xining is too short, and setting up an official tooth bureau is equivalent to putting it here for people to rob, which is too dangerous. So for the time being, I can only trouble Duo'er, but I lost the knot, and the adults went to the Hezhou Official Tooth Bureau to trade. The rules that this king gives you will be the same as those of Lord Ning. Except for the strategic materials strictly controlled by the imperial court, which can enter but not leave, everything else can be traded freely. Whether it's blankets, cows, sheep, gems, or books, iron, weapons. This king wants it. ”
Duo'er only lost her knot and looked surprised.
In other words, he can receive the goods by himself in the future and sell them directly to the official tooth bureau to make the difference, instead of collecting taxes on a few copper plates.
He thought that Zhu Bai would be furious, and at least he would scold him a few words.
Zhu Bai took the initiative to solve the problem for him.
Seeing that he looked sluggish, Zhu Bai smiled and asked, "What do you think, adults?" ”
Duo'er only lost the knot and blinked, waking up like a dream, and said in a loud voice: "It's good, it's really good." What can Wechen do for His Highness. ”
He is not stupid, he knows that transporting goods from here to the mainland costs manpower and money.
Zhu Bai has a way to make money, and he doesn't need to make this kind of hard-earned money at all.
Zhu Bai smiled: "You don't have to do anything for this king." As long as you guard the Xining Guard for Daming, you'll be fine. Besides, this king also made the difference, and he didn't suffer a loss. ”
In fact, there are still differences in details between what he said to Ning Zheng and Duo'er at the moment.
He didn't say a word about saving money to help Duo'er only lose the knot and exchange it for a sophisticated weapon.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.
As long as the city wall is repaired, whoever commands Xiningwei is not afraid to do it.
Duo'er only lost the knot and stood up, knelt down on her left knee, clenched her right hand into a fist against her left shoulder, and bowed to Zhu Bai: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust." Duo'er only lost the knot and had no way to repay it, so she could only desperately defend Xining for generations. ”
This is the way the Mongols bow to their most honored guests and elders, their superiors, and is second only to the prostration to their ancestors and gods during sacrifices. It was far more sincere than the first time he saw Zhu Bai's nod and waist.
