Chapter 91: The Visitation (I)

Shangdu Ranch is the ranch with the most horses, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a large horse farm.

But it is also the tribe that sells the most horses privately, and it will be hellish if you don't want to kill Zhao Ming.

For example, the sale of war horses without permission is not uncommon, in fact, the tribes under the current owners of the four major pastures on the grassland are all engaged in it.

This is like reselling ordnance in the Central Plains, but there are no military factories here, but there are many war horses, and war horses are also hard currency.

Shangdu Ranch is close to the east of the central region, and according to Lao Suntou's guess, it is estimated that the direction of horse sales is Rehe.

And Rehe is now Zhang Shaoshuai's territory, so it's no wonder that this business capital is in a hurry.

If this is found out, and it is designated that they will suffer, they will be slaughtered at least all the main sellers, and at worst the whole clan will be punished.

However, when Zhao Ming asked about the nearby Maoming Anbu and Durhan Ministry, the answer given by Lao Sun Tou made him a little stunned.

"Chief Zhao, if you ask these two tribes, then I can only say that they are not. They didn't sell the horses privately. ”

"How is that possible? So clean, so why so resistant? ”

Zhao Ming didn't believe it, and the attitudes of these two departments can be seen that they are very repulsive to themselves as the field manager.

"It's true that they're not selling horses, but they're selling ordnance!"

"Selling ordnance? Where did they get their ordnance? Zhao Ming was shocked.

"It's very simple, let's go east, as long as we go two hundred miles, there is Rehe, and we can get a lot of ordnance over there.

They exchanged cattle and sheep for ordnance, and then used ordnance to exchange people and more cattle and sheep from Outer Mongolia.

Outer Mongolia's ordnance production is very backward, and this reversal can double the cattle and sheep for nothing, and can even be exchanged for a lot of Outer Mongolian population. ”

Old Sun Tou's reply really shocked Zhao Ming for a while.

According to his description, these two are actually doing business.

It can be said that in the entire prairie, there are no ways to do business, they are all robbers for a living, not alone, but a whole tribe to commit crimes together.

has a bit of ability, and the big clans with the way don't bother to make a living as robbers at all, some of them sell horses, and the more advanced ones are the masters.

However, according to Lao Sun Tou's description, there is a great contradiction between these two parts.

The biggest reason is that the Maoming Anbu is located in the east, and often sends people to block the distance of the Durhan Department to the east in exchange for armaments.

As a result, armed fights often broke out between the two sides.

Moreover, Mao Ming Anbu didn't know if he had caught up with a certain officer on the other side of Rehe, and resold cattle and sheep in exchange for more ordnance and cheaper prices.

In addition, Maoming Abu is used to being strong, and often changes hands in Outer Mongolia to deliberately lower prices, resulting in serious damage to the interests of the Durhan Ministry.

The contradictions between the two are increasing day by day.

Of course, the two ministries are very smart, according to Lao Sun Tou, when he was in charge of the field director, the two ministries directly exchanged horses for ordnance, and in exchange for more ordnance.

There is also a great need for war horses, but these two are extremely cautious.

Even before Zhao Ming took office, they were still trading war horses, and it is estimated that with Zhao Ming taking office, they have recently changed to bartering cattle and sheep.

Of course, the Darhan Department is a bit miserable, even if the previous field director is in power, they are more often mainly engaged in cattle and sheep trading.

In terms of trading, it has suffered too much losses than Maomei Abe.

But there is no way at all, who called the former field director this old guy Kitayama.

As for the Nabayan Division, it belongs to the right wing, and it is also a strange thing among the right wing and even the left wing.

Because people are really well-behaved, they pay in full for cattle, sheep and horses every year, not to mention, they have never sold war horses privately.

Relying only on the surplus cattle and sheep of the tribe to go to nearby towns in exchange for winter rations and daily necessities.

As for the surplus horses, they would rather keep them for themselves and eat them as meat, rather than sell them privately.

But people don't get by, and the tribe gets by, but they don't get rich, so they guard their own one-third of an acre.

It can be said that in recent years, most of Chahar's surrender quota has been supported by the Bayan Ministry.

It is okay to say that they are honest people or well-behaved people, to say that they are stupid and seem to be reasonable, and to say that they are smart and smart.

In short, all tribes are more mavericks.

Soon, the group arrived near the Maoming Abe camp, and when they saw Zhao Ming and his party coming in, the herdsmen here were obviously not surprised.

But when that Wang Beibei came out and saw that Zhao Ming was also there, he was stunned.

The old man of Beishan, who came out of the camp closely, narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately showed the brightest smile.

"Haha! Sir Zhao, I miss it so much if I haven't seen you for many days! I heard that Chief Zhao was injured, so I specially brought something over to condole, but unfortunately I couldn't get the reward. ”

The old man of Beishan stepped forward with a smile, and Zhao Ming also turned over and dismounted with a smile and gave the other party a hug.

The old man didn't deliberately hit Zhao Ming hard, trying to test something.

However, Beishan, who hugged him closely, actually collided with him hard, causing Zhao Ming's wound to collapse a little, and he could feel the touch of the blood beads in his clothes sliding on the surface of his body.

It can be seen that the IQ is high and low, where do smart people need such a temptation.

Beishan quietly glanced at Wang Beibei, the number one condor archer of the tribal grassland, and looked at Zhao Ming with a smile, "Chief Zhao, come here this time, you must stay in our Maoming Anbu for a while longer."

You are Shangguan, you haven't lived in our office here for a day, if you ask from above, I really can't explain it here! ~”

"Haha!"

Zhao Ming suddenly burst out laughing, making the old man Beishan a little stunned.

"Since it's not easy to explain, then don't explain, anyway, I'll have the final say here."

"Uh... This...."

Beishan was stunned for a moment, this Chief Zhao is really telling the truth.

"After all, it's not easy for you Maoming Anbu, and I still have so many people with me, isn't it a big sin to delay your task this year?"

Zhao Ming's words made Beishan unable to refute.

"Huh! Then Chief Zhao came here this time, I don't know what is going on? ”

Beishan was a little dazed by this abrupt move, so he had to hurriedly change the topic.

"Oh, it's still the old rule, buy some cattle and sheep, it's better to have horses. But it has to be a good horse.

You also know that I was attacked before, and the horses brought from Guanzhong are really useless, and I want to change to a batch of good horses, so it's more convenient to cut some Xiaoxiao, isn't it? ”

Zhao Ming's words made Beishan stunned again.

Damn it, you just said that you were afraid of delaying the handing in task, isn't it the same for purchasing cattle, sheep and horses?

"Sir Zhao, don't worry, since you came here in person, then our Maoming Anbu will definitely choose the best horse for you!"

Since he came to do business, Beishan was also relieved.

It's just that before he could relax his breath, Zhao Ming had already spoken in the next sentence.

"What? If I don't come, will you return the inferior goods to my brothers? ”
