Chapter 648 Cooperation
Su Nang said: "If you can't deal with the tiger flag secretly, then come openly. We can send people to join forces with Kankantada and other Taiji who don't like the tiger flag to send troops to deal with the tiger flag."
"You Khan and Namu Laotaiji will not agree." Batu reminded.
Su Nang said in a deep voice: "Even if they don't agree, can you still dare to attack us?"
Batu smiled and said, "There is no need to make things so troublesome. If you want to solve the problem of the tiger flag, you can use other methods."
"Do you have the idea to deal with the tiger flag?" Su Nang looked at Batu.
Batu pointed at Fan Yongdou with his chin and said, "Zheng Dongzhu Fan just came up with an idea. Now think about it, his idea is OK, you can try it."
"What do you mean is to let our Mongolian warriors guard the Southern Barbarians?" Su Nang's face sank and said, "I don't agree, there is no need to mention this matter."
Fan Yongdou, who had just raised a glimmer of hope, was poured with a basin of cold water on his head.
I thought that when Su Nang and the others saw the power of the Tiger Flag warriors, they would agree to send Arc cavalry to protect their Fan Ji's caravan. After all, as long as they seize the business road of the Tiger Flag, it would be equivalent to breaking the foundation of the Tiger Flag.
But what he didn't expect was that Su Nang would rather have a feud with Tumote Khan and forcefully attack the tiger flag than send an armored cavalry to escort Fan Ji's caravan.
This made him realize that in the eyes of the other party, he was not even as good as an ordinary herder, or in the eyes of these Mongolian nobles with the blood of the golden family, all the Han people were not much stronger than slaves.
Su Nang turned his head and looked at Batu, and said, "You didn't agree to let our Mongolian warriors escort the caravan of the Southern Barbarians just now."
"It is natural that our Mongolian warriors can't protect a group of southern barbarians." Batu said, "but if our own property is different."
"What does it mean?" Su Nang frowned.
Batu turned his head and looked at Fan Yongdou, saying, "Master Fan should be able to understand what I mean!"
Hearing this, Fan Yongdou said nothing.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand, but that he can’t figure out how big the other person’s appetite and how much benefit he wants to gain.
Su Nang understood now and said, "You mean to make Fan Ji earn money for me like the Han merchants in Banshengcheng."
Batu nodded slightly.
"It's not impossible." Su Nang rubbed his chin and looked at Fan Yongdou with his eyes.
Fan Yongdou's face turned bitter.
His Fan family has been doing business on the grassland for many years, so he naturally knew the rules of the Mongolian Han merchants. He had to hand over 70% of the money he earned to his Taiji family, and the remaining 30% had to be used to handle some along the way. The last remaining money was his own.
"Master Fan Dong, what do you think?" Batu said with a smile, "There is only one way to get Su Nang to send a cavalry to protect your Fan Ji's caravan."
Fan Yongdou hesitated for a moment and said, "70% is too much. If Fan Ji's caravan wants to come to the grassland, the guards of the border forts all need to be managed. If you want to deal with the tiger flag, the benefits of Datong patrol cannot be lost. In the end, no less than 70% of them are left."
"Then how much can your Fan family take out?" Batu asked.
Fan Yongdou pondered for a moment, then finally stretched out three fingers and said, "30%.
"Three percent?" Su Nang's mouth showed a sneer and said, "You can ask the Chinese merchants in Banshengcheng for inquiries. Who dares to say that they only give us Ji Sansheng the benefits."
Fan Yongdou smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that Caomin is unwilling to give more benefits to Taiji, but there is really not that much profit."
30% of the profits had already hurt him. This was because the court closed down the Ma market and the smuggling profits increased, otherwise he would not be willing to give up 30% of the profits.
The profits distributed to the Mongols are real, unlike the Wang Xunzhang who only needs to make a fake account. If he also makes a fake account to the Mongols, once it is exposed, his Fan family will come to the grassland to go on a business trip again, and they will definitely be targeted by the Mongols.
Batu said to Fan Yongdou: "Fan Ji's caravan wants to protect me, the Mongolian cavalry, but he doesn't want to give benefits. This is not possible. My Mongolian warriors will not protect a group of Han people in the Ming Dynasty, even your emperors will not do it."
"After giving Su Nang Taiji a 30% profit, Fan Ji really has nothing left." Fan Yong Dou's face was bitter.
"This is how it goes!" Batu said, "Your Fan family handed over 40% of the profits in exchange for the protection of my Mongolian Arctic Cavalry."
"40% is too small, and there are more than 70% of all Han merchants in Bansheng City." Su Nang frowned.
Batu raised his hand and made a sound ban on Su Nang, and then continued to Fan Yongdou: "The profit is not much. As long as you are willing to give Su Nang 40% of the profit, in the future, Fan Ji caravan will be escorted by my Mongolian warriors. Of course, this requires your Fan Ji caravan to come to the grassland first, and then there will be a caravan that will escort you all the way."
Fan Yongdou looked thoughtful, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "How can Taiji keep his word?"
"I will keep my word," Batu said, "and I can also make the decision for Sucan."
Su Nang opened her mouth, thinking that the other party was the supervisory minister sent by Lin Danhan, and he still didn't say what he said at the end.
"If Taiji can ensure the safety of Fanji caravan on the grassland, the Fan family is willing to hand over 40% of the profit to Taiji." Fan Yongdou bowed.
Although 40% of the profit is large, it is still worth the safety of Fanji caravan. As long as the tiger flag is turned down, Fanji can not only trade in Tumote, but also trade in the Later Jin Dynasty.
"Then let's just say that." Batu said with a smile.
Fan Yongdou nodded and said, "I'm sure."
"Is there anything else?" Batu asked.
Fan Yongdou shook his head and said, "This time Caomin came to see Taiji because he came to the safety of Fanji caravans coming to the grassland in the future. Now Taiji promises that Hu will send a cavalry to escort Fanji caravans, and Caomin has nothing else to do."
"Since there is nothing else, please come back by Master Fan! I hope your Fanji caravan will appear on my Mongolian grassland as soon as possible." Batu said with a smile.
Fan Yongdou bowed and said, "The grass-roots people leave."
As he said that, he took a few steps back before turning around and retreating from the house.
When the person left, Su Nang couldn't help but say to Batu: "Why do you have to agree to him? 40% of the profit is far less than the profits submitted by the Han merchants in Banshengcheng. Moreover, I need to send a caravan to escort the Nanmanzi."
Batu asked with a smile: "Which one, Fan Ji or the tiger flag is more difficult to deal with?"
"Of course it is the tiger-like flag." Su Nang said, "Fan Ji is just an ordinary business name in the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is no Fan Ji on the grassland, other merchants from the Ming Dynasty will come to trade, but the tiger-like flag is different. Their caravans are spread throughout Mongolia in the southern desert, and many Taiji have received their benefits. Now they are openly building forts on the grassland, but they have also received the support of the Khan."
The more I talked, the more angry I became, and the face showed anger.
Batu reminded: "Our top priority is to deal with the tiger flag. As long as we clean up the tiger flag, the fan record is in our hands. You can just knead it as much as you want."
