Chapter 143 Allies
In the bitter and cold place of Mongolia, Lin Danhan's guards could not hold back, and they all ate oily. Although Ma Cheng was born in Kaiyuan General's Mansion, he could not bear the temptation of various delicious food during the meal, and the chopsticks kept falling together.
On the plate of tiger skin, the tiger skin is made of tender and juicy and makes people feel very enjoyable. Fang Shihong and Zhou Yunyan ate very little, and they seemed to be very disliked this big fish and meat dish. Fang Shihong was even more picky and only ate it.
A few slices of honeydew melons.
Lin Danhan bit a piece of duck meat and praised: "This Ming Dynasty food is probably the best in the world."
When Zhou Yunyan muttered and translated it into Chinese, Ma Cheng sighed in his heart. This kind of compliment was more like the sarcasm and ridicule of the Ming Dynasty. The extravagant trend was also very popular in this prosperous Jizhou.
In the city, there are many people who can afford a thousand taels of silver for a banquet. The huge profits of trade are shocking, and the wealth of the people has made the poor Ministry of Revenue a laughing stock. Emperor Shenzong's inner lord may not be able to compare with
The property of a Shanxi merchant.
The wealthy businessmen, party struggles, and the empty treasury made Macheng's panoramic view of the late Ming Dynasty increasingly clear.
Halfway through the wine, Lin Danhan still lost a chicken bone and said with a bold smile: "Xiao Wang, the master of the town, has made friends with me."
Zhou Yunyan curled her mouth and translated it directly, and it seemed that she looked down on the last Mongolian Khan who was trapped in a small place.
Ma Cheng naturally would not be stupid enough to think that a meal would make a Mongolian Khan return home. He ordered the Jiangnan opera troupe who was performing hard retreated. The four Mongolian kings and soldiers muttered a few words in dissatisfaction.
Lin Danhan was furious and scolded, but was persuaded by Ma Cheng with a smile. He came to the flower world of the Central Plains dynasty and met the singers with excellent quality in the Jiangnan area. It is normal for humans to have sperm and brains.
Lin Danhan was extremely angry and cursed a few times before he finished his face. His face was a little embarrassed. Ma Cheng didn't care and ordered someone to carry another box. He opened it, and there were a few bunches of unknown purple plants inside.
The purple stamens were furry, which made Zhou Yunyan's beautiful eyes lit up. The little beauty bent down curiously and picked up a purple flower. The men's eyes fell on her and could no longer move her eyes.
Zhou Yunyan was confused and asked curiously: "What kind of flower is this, purple."
Ma Cheng smiled and said, "This is fragrant crust, a medicinal herb."
Zhou Yunyan smiled sweetly and said, "So that's it, my cousin knows so much."
After Lin Danhan, who didn't understand Chinese, asked, Fang Shuran said, "Xiao Wang understands. Is the Lord of the General Town asking Xiao Wang to come. Is it necessary to do the medicinal materials business on the grassland?"
Ma Cheng smiled and said, "That's right, King Khan doesn't want to?"
Lin Danhan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said relievedly: "Of course I am willing to do it. Is there a few origins in my territory, which are very easy to pick."
Ma Chenghe Qi said: "It's not just Xiangzhai, but there are many grass roots and stems such as Bupleurum, Fengban, and Caowu on the grassland, which can all be used as medicine."
Lin Danhan was said to be active, Fengfeng, Bupleurum, and Caowu are all precious herbs. If this business grows bigger, it will be a huge income. Ma Cheng is not afraid of him not cooperating, this last generation
The Mongolian Khan must be afraid of being poor. As long as he has a way to make money and dig out the herbs in his territory, he will not blink.
Ma Cheng's words are not entirely true. It is true that scented larvae can be used as medicine. Its greater function is to use it for prospecting.
Where there are rich in fragrant crusts on the grassland, there is copper mine under it. Naturally, this is not something that can be said. This trump card must be kept for critical moments before use.
After chatting about business stories, Lin Danhan said worriedly: "Isn't Brother Ma afraid of impeachment in the court?"
Ma Cheng said angrily: "So what if you impeach? You are afraid of this and that, so don't do anything."
Lin Danhan praised: "Brother Ma's heroic spirit."
Just looking at how he is already a brother to Ma Cheng, he knows that he is extremely enthusiastic about this medicinal material business and his life should be extremely difficult.
Fang Shihong was finally a good businessman, and he pondered: "It should be very appropriate to dry the picked medicinal materials on the grassland, cook them into goods, and then transport them to Datong, and then to Jizhou. However, the payment for the goods is settled every three months.
What did the Khan think?”
Lin Danhan was already satisfied and said hurriedly: "It should be like this."
The three of them agreed on the charter, and Fang Shihong ordered people to send seasonal fruits and vegetables, and the guests and hosts all enjoyed each other.
After lingering in Jizhou for two days, Fang Shihong gave him a large amount of gifts, mostly tea bricks, salt, rice and other daily necessities, filled with ten large trucks. Kaiyuan cavalry guarded Macheng and Lin Dan
Khan, Zhou Yunyan and others left the city and headed towards Chifeng. More than a thousand cavalry slowly drove away from the prosperous Jizhou. In a few days, they had a good meal and had a fat weight. They seemed to feel unwilling to go to the remote wilderness.
.
The wilderness is desolate and naturally cannot be compared with the prosperous Jizhou, and even Macheng is a little disappointed.
Sitting upright, Ma Cheng asked with a smile: "King Khan thought what is going on in Jizhou."
Lin Danhan said comfortably: "Jizhou is rich, my heart is for it."
Before Ma Cheng asked a question, Zhou Yunyan, who served as the translator, had already sarcastically said: "Why did King Khan still plunder the border of the Ming Dynasty?"
Lin Danhan was quite embarrassed and defended: "If the wife misunderstood Ben Khan, in the 45th year of Wanli, Ben Khan had returned the plundering Ming people and traded with Ming. Since the trade, Ben Khan has never violated the territory. Now the Ming Dynasty has repeatedly
The city admires the Chahar tribes, and this king is indeed dedicated to the Ming Dynasty."
Although Zhou Yunyan was dissatisfied, her pretty face turned slightly red when she shouted like a wife, and she couldn't question him anymore.
Ma Cheng smiled knowingly and said, "That's true, Yun Yan should not be rude to King Khan."
Zhou Yunyan's pretty face turned redder when she heard her name, and her shy and timid look made the soldiers who were paying attention to him look straight. Ma Cheng didn't care about Lin Danhan's dark history. Jiannu was powerful, so he couldn't be because of
After a period of dark history, the grasslands in the desert were handed over to Jiannu. The Chahar tribe only plundered the nine sides once or twice. Moreover, in order to ease relations with the Ming Dynasty, Lin Danhan did return the abducted population.
When the shy Zhou Yunyan's pretty face became white and tender again, Ma Cheng asked casually: "What does King Khan think of the thieves in Jianzhou?"
Lin Danhan lowered his head slightly and heard Zhou Yunyan's translation clearly, and said proudly: "When the thieves in Jianzhou, barbarians and Borjijin clans crisscross the grasslands, Jianzhou barbarians were still uncivilized savages."
Ma Cheng was relieved and understood why Lin Danhan had a firm anti-Qing stance throughout his life, because the proud Mongolian Khan would never surrender to the barbarians of Jianzhou. In Lin Danhan's eyes, the Ming Dynasty was the supreme country of the Celestial Empire.
The once glorious Mongol Empire also had a glorious history. The Jianzhou Jurchens were just barbarians. It would be better to kill him if the proud Mongol Khan surrendered to the Jurchen savages.
This is the deeply rooted racial concept of the Mongolian Khan, which is difficult to change, and it also makes Ma Cheng feel moved. He realizes that among the leaders of various Mongolian tribes, there are probably many people who look down on the Jurchen savages. At least Mongolia in the south of the desert is indeed a sensation.
