20,000 steel knives and 5ooo pieces of armor are obviously not satisfied with Lin Danhan's appetite. Although the Mongolians are no longer a professional robber gang, they also know how to live. However, the Mongolians still have the nature of robber gangs. Therefore, for the Mongolians, as long as they can improve military equipment, it means that they can grab more wealth.&1t;/p>

With wealth, Talin Dankhan can build a larger palace and enjoy more luxury goods from the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

For the rulers of this era, things like palaces are very important in their pursuit goals. They should live comfortably, eat comfortably, wear comfortably, and be comfortable.&1t;/p>

Wealth, beauty, palace, food and clothing. This is their lifelong pursuit. The meaning of living in this world is for these things.&1t;/p>

"The export volume of equipment cannot be determined by the following points. This is the quota set by our Emperor Ming Emperor. In addition, when we export these equipment, we must ensure the national defense security of our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, if you want to obtain more equipment transaction quotas, you can only sign an alliance with our Ming Dynasty first, and then after the two sides carry out in-depth cooperation and trade, as long as the relationship between the two sides is good, we can increase a certain number of transaction quotas every year." The Ming envoy said to Lin Danhan.&1t;/p>

Lin Danhan naturally understood what he meant, that is, before formally signing the alliance and in-depth contact, the Ming Dynasty was still wary of Mongolia, and at most they could only trade these equipment.&1t;/p>

There is no way, Lin Danhan can only accept the current limited equipment transaction quota. After all, only the Ming Dynasty can manufacture these military equipment. However, the war horse is not only available in Mongolia.&1t;/p>

If Mengren wants to buy these equipment, he has no choice.&1t;/p>

Under the quota vision of these military equipment, Lin Danhan quickly signed a formal alliance with the Ming envoy.&1t;/p>

This convoy was later called the "Renxu Covenant" in the Ming Dynasty and won the "Renxu Alliance". Because this year is the year of Renxu. Ren is Yang water, Xu is Yang earth, and is the fire warehouse. Among the twelve zodiac signs, the Year of the Dog.&1t;/p>

The following is the following:&1t;/p>

1: The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia are in a friendly state and do not invade each other's territory. The Ming Dynasty restrains the border troops and does not invade Mongolia. Mongolia should also restrain the Mongolian tribes and shall not invade the Daming Pass.&1t;/p>

2: The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia officially started official bilateral trade. The transaction location was designated as "Zhangjiakou". The Ming Dynasty did not trade with any Mongolian tribes without Lin Dankhan's permission. Mongolia did not trade with any Ming smuggling caravans. If there is a smuggling caravan, Mongolia can seize the caravans and hand over the personnel to the Ming Dynasty for trial. The transactions between the two parties adhere to the principle of market fairness, and the goods are based on market prices to negotiate official pricing. The two parties conduct annual transactions in Zhangjiakou, jointly establish the "Foreign Trade Department" to mediate disputes in bilateral transactions and convey trade needs.&1t;/p>

3: Ming and Mongolia. Highly maintain a unified and hostile state with the Later Jin Kingdom. The Ming Dynasty recognized Lin Dankhan's legal dominance over the Mongolian tribes, and Lin Dankhan recognized the Ming Dynasty's territorial sovereignty over Liaodong.&1t;/p>

4: Mongolia sells 30,000 war horses to the Ming Dynasty every year. It is free trade for middle horses and dismounts. The Ming Dynasty sells 10,000 steel knives to Mongolia every year and 5ooo pairs of armor. The quality of horses and equipment must meet the agreed standards of both sides, and inferior ones shall not be used as good ones.&1t;/p>

5: The Ming Dynasty opened its right to settle down to Mongolian nobles. After Lin Danhan's permission, the Mongolian nobles could enter the Ming Dynasty freely and settle in Beijing.&1t;/p>

6: The Ming Dynasty guarantees that the supply of commercial grain to Mongolia will not be less than 10,000 shi per year, and provides Lin Danhan with 50,000 shi of food aid every year.&1t;/p>

Lin Danhan was extremely satisfied with this alliance. Ming Dynasty sold equipment and gave him 50,000 stones of food for free. In this way, his rule over Mongolia became as stable as Mount Tai. So he signed the name on the alliance and pressed his fingerprints.&1t;/p>

The envoy of the Ming Dynasty also signed his name on the alliance and wrote the three big words "Lin Wence". Lin Wence is a scholar from a border town. When he was a child, he learned fluent Mongolian language from the Mongolians who lived in the border area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. Half a year ago, he was summoned to the capital with 100,000 border troops.&1t;/p>

Not long ago, he joined the position of the Ministry of Military Foreign Affairs of the Commander and served as the Mongolian diplomatic ambassador. The Ministry of Military Foreign Affairs of the Supreme Commander is a new department, and the diplomatic ambassador has not set a specific rank. However, Lin Wence knew that after the signing of this alliance, he would be directly named in history.&1t;/p>

For a literati, it is simply a very noble life achievement.&1t;/p>

Moreover, this time he went to Mongolia to make all the diplomatic tasks assigned by the emperor were successfully completed, and a low purchase price for war horses was negotiated, so he could go back and report his life with glory.&1t;/p>

More than half a month later, Lin Wence returned to the capital with Zhu Youxiao's expected goal. Lin Danhan, who was far away in Mongolia, was also eager to see bilateral trade.&1t;/p>

When Zhu Youxiao received this alliance, he burst into laughter and said to Lin Wence: "Okay, okay. Lin Aiqing really did not disappoint. This time he went to Mongolia to make great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. I have appoint you as a third-rank official and rewarded 10,000 silver dollars."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao, who was very happy, spent a lot of money and went out very directly.&1t;/p>

"Thank you for your kindness, I will repay the emperor's kindness to death." Lin Wence never saw ten thousand silver dollars put together in his life. Suddenly, he was hit by a pile of silver dollars and was dizzy on the spot.&1t;/p>

Although spending money is vulgar, the effect is real.&1t;/p>

As long as you are willing to do things seriously and do things well, money is not a problem. This is what Zhu Youxiao wants to convey.&1t;/p>

For the Ming Dynasty, the signing of this alliance was definitely a way toward a military power. It will also seize a lot of benefits for the Ming Dynasty from Mongolia.&1t;/p>

After the signing of this alliance, the Mongolians will gradually transform from a self-sufficiency production model as the trade deepens, and will gradually transform from a self-sufficiency production model for the Ming market. As the demand for fur, wool, horses, and commercial cattle and sheep increases, they will gradually transform.&1t;/p>

In such a trade process, the Ming Dynasty was the party who mastered higher production technology and would naturally gain greater benefits. For the Mongolian nobles, they also had benefits. They were equivalent to organizing the Mongolians to produce commercially. Although the grassland goods produced were taken advantage of by the Ming Dynasty in the trade process, they could also get a part of it, which was equivalent to making the cake bigger.&1t;/p>

Articles 4 and 5 of the Covenant are obviously very meaningful.&1t;/p>

Article 4: The Mongolian nobles allowed to settle in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. What does this mean? This is similar to the backward ruling class of the country in later generations who obtained the "American Green Card". The Ming Dynasty was the country with the highest quality of life in the world at this time, and the gap between the rich and the poor was huge, which was simply a paradise for rich people. If these Mongolian nobles went to the Ming Dynasty to settle, they would be able to wipe out their will in less than a few years and at the same time eliminate the barbaric atmosphere in them.&1t;/p>

When Mongolian nobles came to settle in the Ming Dynasty and became a popular trend, Mongolia became an affiliation to the Ming Dynasty. If you work harder, you can incorporate Mongolia into the rule of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Article 5 is to supply commercial grain to Mongolia and provide Mongolia with 50,000 stones of food aid free of charge every year. This is the Little Ice Age, and Mongolians are suffering from disasters frequently. If the Mongolians want to starve to death, they may not go south to plunder, causing trouble for Zhu Youxiao, and give some food to allow Lin Danhan, a guy who cannot surrender to wild boar skin, to maintain his rule.&1t;/p>

As for supplying commercial grain to Mongolia, it also means that the Ming Dynasty could buy cattle and sheep from Mongolia. The Mongolian population was not very large, and the adult men who could fight were calculated to be 40,000. With the social structure of the whole Mongolian people, the population would not exceed 20,000. Although the Ming Dynasty was short of food at this time, it was actually not short of it. It was only due to the scheduling and production structure issues. It was still capable of supplying commercial grain to the Mongolians.&1t;/p>

What made Zhu Youxiao very happy was that he sold 10,000 steel knives at a high price was very 5oo. The steel production cost of Royal Steel Company is very low. With the smelting technology of Royal Steel Company, the Ming Dynasty has entered the "steel era".&1t;/p>

4o two and one steel knife, the profit is at least 35 taels. 5o two and one pair of steel pieces, the profit is at least 45 taels.&1t;/p>

This trade created an output value of 650,000 taels, equivalent to 780,000 yuan, and the profit was 690,000 yuan. Such a huge profitable transaction is simply jaw-dropping. As expected, the arms business is the most profitable.&1t;/p>

While countries around the world were still in the Iron Age, or the semi-steel era, the Ming Dynasty led half a level to enter the steel era, which was simply a huge profit.&1t;/p>

Selling these equipment to Mongolia is indeed not a big threat to the Ming Dynasty. Under the threat of artillery and muskets, the Mongolians could defeat them before they could get close. But Zhu Youxiao had to guard against it. If they sell too many excellent cold weapons and equipment to the Mongolians at one time, the Mongolians suddenly turn against each other and find trouble for the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

It is precisely because of this consideration that although Zhu Youxiao coveted the amazing profits of selling military equipment, he did not dare to sell too much to the Mongolians.&1t;/p>

Let’s talk about stability first. When the Ming Dynasty’s military strength becomes stronger, then consider selling more excellent cold weapons and equipment to the Mongolians.&1t;/p>

What satisfied Zhu Youxiao the most was the price of war horses and the number of transactions negotiated. Originally, Zhu Youxiao didn’t have much hope of whether he could buy 30,000 war horses from Mongolia, and he was very satisfied with how he could buy 10,000 war horses. As a result, he not only bought 30,000 war horses, but also the price was very cheap.&1t;/p>

Buy the horse at 27.5 yuan, and 30,000 horses were only 820,000 taels. And the equipment sold by the Ming Dynasty to Mongolia was 650,000 taels.&1t;/p>

This business is simply too cost-effective, and it makes people wake up laughing in their dreams. Of course, it is not that the Mongolians are stupid, but that the Mongolians lack these equipment, and there are many war horses. The Ming Dynasty and vice versa, both sides think that the business is affordable.&1t;/p>

Since the alliance has been signed, we must implement this bilateral trade that is extremely beneficial to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. Next is the time to start attacking Shanxi merchants involved in border smuggling. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>

ps: The fifth update is coming!&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
