Naturalization City (Hohhot).

The patriarch of the Wushen tribe sat in the first place, and the two rows of patriarchs from all over the country were eating and drinking, grabbing the leg of mutton and tearing it with their hands.

This time, the patriarchs came to report to him on the latest situation.

The reporting process is 100 million words, and the book is saved.

Now that they've finished their report, they're ready to get together for dinner.

When it comes to dinner, there is a lot of talk.

The Etuoke patriarch said happily: "Thanks to the leadership of the Wushen tribe, all the wool and sheepskins in my tribe have been bought by the Han people. The convoy sent by the young patriarch of Jebu sent a large amount of tea, salt, and grain to my clan, and my clan is really comfortable this winter. ”

The patriarch of Hangjin also said: "It's the same on my side, thanks to the blessing of Zhebu, my tribe has also had a very comfortable winter this winter, and no more people have frozen to death and starved to death." Jeb's convoy brought me a lot of iron pots, and now it's much easier to cook. ”

Urat Patriarch: "In the past, the Han people were only willing to sell a small amount of iron pots to us to prevent us from making weapons, but now the Han people are so generous that they don't seem to be afraid that we will melt the iron pot and make it into a sword." ”

The Etok patriarch said: "Nonsense, it's not that you haven't seen how powerful the Han people are now, they don't play with swords anymore, and they have all replaced them with fire guns and big iron cars." Let's make some swords, what is there to be afraid of for them? Of course, there will be no ban on the sale of iron pots to us. ”

Several patriarchs nodded.

That's true!

In the past, iron pots were a rare hard currency on the grassland, but now, the Han people don't care at all, they buy iron pots as much as they want, as long as they can afford wool......

The young patriarch of Jebu threaded the needle in the middle, and the business of Han and Mongolia took off.

Several patriarchs couldn't help but praise Zhebu: "Thanks to the young patriarch Zhebu. ”

"Young Patriarch Zhebu is really young and promising, he can actually go to the Han people, open a factory there, and make Han money, it's really amazing."

Wu Shen laughed: "Zhebu is my most promising child, and when he learns enough from the Han people, he will come back to inherit my place." By the way, my son said that the woolen sweaters in his factory have been in short supply lately, and they are selling too well and need more wool. ”

Patriarchs: "Huh? We've already run out of wool, and the next shearing won't be until the summer, and it's still a few months away. ”

The Wushen patriarch was a little unhappy: "Why did you run out?" It must be that you are lazy and don't raise enough sheep, so you have to raise more sheep in the future. ”

Several patriarchs hurriedly said: "Obey!" When we got back, we organized the herders and told them to raise more sheep. ”

Wu Zhen: "Alas! What can I do, far water can't quench my thirst. When will your new sheep grow up? My son needs a lot of wool right now. ”

The patriarchs present all spread their hands, saying that there was no way.

It is now the spring of the ninth year of Chongzhen, and there are still several months before the summer, and no one dares to shear the sheep at this time, and the sheep will freeze to death.

At this moment, the Chahar patriarch suddenly raised his hand: "I have a way." ”

The patriarchs were overjoyed: "Tell me." ”

The Chahar patriarch said: "Although we don't have any wool in our hands, there are still some Mongolian tribes that have been conquered by the Jin Kingdom." Let's just beat them up and snatch the wool from their hands. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed: "That's right! The Koqin tribe, they are now listening to the words of the Jin Kingdom, and if they don't deal with us, let's beat them. ”

"And the Hasselsumu tribe."

"The Uegqi Sumu tribe."

The patriarchs silently calculated, not that they don't know, after calculating, there are still a lot of Mongolian tribes on the other side of the Jin country.

If these tribes can be beaten and robbed of their wool, then they can all be sent to Zhebu in exchange for those useful goods of the Han people.

The Wushen patriarch jumped up suddenly: "Prepare for battle, let's go and teach the Mongolian tribes in the east a hard lesson." ”

"Great Khan, we can't use 'I want to rob you of your wool' as an excuse to beat them." Chahar Patriarch: "I suggest that the Heavenly Khan Ezhe issue a message, saying that those tribes do not respect the descendants of Genghis Khan and do not listen to the dispatch of our Great Yuan Court, so that we have a reason to fight it." ”

The proposal was certainly approved without any suspense.

The messenger rushed to Gaojia Village and found the Heavenly Khan Ezhe, but Ezhe was still a child and didn't understand anything. So, his eldest brother Liu Maopao instructed him to write a crusade against him, and then asked Gao Yiye to take out the jade seal of the Great Yuan Dynasty and stamped a seal with a "snap".

The messenger took the "fight permit" authorized by the Heavenly Khan and happily returned to Naturalization City.

And then......

A "righteous war" to maintain the dignity of the Yuan Dynasty Khan (snatching wool) began-

Gaojia Village.

Liu Maopao is giving an impassioned speech at the shareholders' meeting.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Jebu: "Second brother! You can't get any wool over there, can you? ”

Jebu shook his head: "This year, we must not shear sheep, it must be equal to the warmer weather." ”

Liu Maopao looked at Ezhe again: "Third brother, what about you?" ”

Ezhe shook his head: "There is no wool left in the Chahar Department. ”

Liu Maopao said depressedly: "Relying on the wool sent from the Mongolian steppe is really not enough, our advertising effect is too good, all the branches around the country are sold out, and the wool inventory here in the village is getting less and less, so if it goes on, we have to stop working." ”

"Stoppage? No way! Jebu's mother, Angele, exclaimed: "If the work is stopped, the female workers under my command will not be paid, and their lives will be difficult, and Tianzun will be angry and say that we have not taken good care of the workers." ”

Angela used to not know Chinese, but now the more she speaks, the more she slips away.

Liu Maopao: "We have to find more wool suppliers. ”

Ezhe: "The major tribes have organized an alliance and are ready to attack the tribes in the east, and they will bring back the wool. ”

Liu Maopao: "They may not succeed, if they fail, will we stop the factory and wait for them?" ”

"Uh......"

Everyone had a headache.

At this moment, Jebu suddenly raised his hand and said, "I know that there is a place where there are also many high-quality sheep. ”

Liu Maopao: "Oh? Where? ”

Zhe said: "Yinchuan. ”

Liu Maopao touched his chin: "Oh? Yinchuan? That place is my Ming territory, I want to think about it...... By the way, Uncle Shi Jianshi is now serving as the chief soldier of Yansui, and I will go to him for help, I should be able to get in touch with the people of Yinchuan and see if I can urgently buy a batch of wool from there. ”

Liu Maopao is a doer, so he immediately did what he thought of, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to go on a business trip to Yansuibian Town to find Shi Jian......
