The location of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In just two months, the entire Beiyuan region has undergone unimaginable changes.

This can be said to be a huge difference.

In the previous Northern Yuan Dynasty, under the strong suppression of the Ming Dynasty, all parties were in short supply of materials. Some lowly slaves were thankful to God if they could drink half a bowl of gruel every day.

The lives of ordinary people are not very good. After a winter, the medicinal materials and tea leaves at home have long been exhausted.

Without food, they could only survive on cow's milk and goat's milk, and occasionally only meat.

There is not even salt, and pure cooked meat is difficult to swallow. Long-term consumption of greasy meat will bring about all kinds of pain.

Forget about adults, especially children, their abdomens are generally bloated.

This situation develops in the homes of all grassland people, even some Mongolian nobles, not much better.

The most important thing is the fear of future life.

During that time, everyone in Beiyuan, both the court and the various tribes, were gloomy and gloomy, with no smiles to be seen.

But it's different now.

Zhu Ying set up a mutual market as quickly as possible, and he had a large amount of supplies. In just three days, a large number of urgently needed supplies for the grassland were on their way.

Here in Beiyuan, cavalry from all walks of life closely escorted them, and they quickly arrived and set up seven trading points.

The arrival of the Ming Dynasty caravan was like seeing the sun through the clouds, and everyone's faces were filled with cheerful smiles.

In particular, the rise in commodity prices has been a huge surprise to all herdsmen on the grasslands.

That night, there was a bonfire party with singing and dancing to welcome the arrival of the Ming caravan.

Invisibly, all the herdsmen discovered that they could no longer live without the Ming Dynasty.

Some tribal elders looked at this scene and sighed slightly.

In the future, there may be no way to go to the Central Plains to enjoy the autumn breeze.

Firstly, the Ming Dynasty became more and more powerful, and secondly, after the arrival of the Ming Dynasty caravan, a law was announced.

From now on, any tribe found to be ruthlessly plundering the Ming Dynasty will be permanently added to the undesirable list.

This means that the Ming Chamber of Commerce will refuse to trade with them and impose inter-tribal sanctions.

Such a law may not seem to have much effect, but in fact it makes many people very afraid.

It can be seen from the embargo that today's Ming Dynasty will really implement the laws thoroughly.

It's just that it's difficult to feed the tribesmen just by relying on the development of the grassland itself, whether it's fur or livestock.

Where can the future be?

Northern Yuan Dynasty court, palace tent.

Elbek sat on the dragon throne, and below him were the civil and military officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"Shang Shu Haba, you are indispensable for being able to capture Yan King Zhu Di alive, prompting the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty to reach a peace treaty, lift the embargo, and trade at a reduced price."

"Tell me what reward you want, as long as you tell me, I can grant it to you."

Elbek said with a smile, feeling very good.

In terms of negotiations, although no other material compensation was obtained except for the lifting of the Ming embargo, the expansion of trade allowed the reputation of Elbek Khan to begin to spread throughout the grasslands.

All the Mongolian tribes, nobles, and herdsmen are thinking of Elbek.

Elbek's own reputation in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the army also reached a peak.

Now I have to speak much more forcefully.

Haba, the Minister of War below, was speechless when he heard His Majesty say this.

Although the situation in Beiyuan is improving now, the Ministry of Revenue has actually been in deficit for a long time, so there is no reward to be given out.

How could he not understand the meaning of His Majesty's words? It was just to get to a better place.

But this is also a good opportunity for Haba.

He is now the Minister of the Ministry of War. With the current vacancy of the Prime Minister, he is already considered a very popular minister. If he goes up higher, he will be the master of great achievements.

Being able to maintain his current position as Minister of War is already a very good situation.

The first thing Haba did when he caught Yan King Zhu Di and returned to the Northern Yuan court was to hand over his tiger talisman overnight, for fear that His Majesty would have other ideas.

But if you have merit, it won't work if you don't want any reward.

After thinking about it for a while, Haba said, "This is all my duty, but speaking of it, I really want something, and I beg your majesty to reward it."

When Elbek heard this, his expression changed slightly and he asked calmly, "But it doesn't matter."

Haba grasped this scene and immediately said: "I like snowflake salt the most, but the Chamber of Commerce in the Ming Dynasty has restrictions on the share of snowflake salt. The portion here seems to be a lot, but it is not enough to eat."

"There are also those exquisite condiments, but I can't eat more than a few meals."

"Your Majesty knows that this is what I want, so I boldly ask Your Majesty to give me some."

Hearing this, Elbek felt relieved.

Sure enough, this Haba is quite sensible.

Just need snowflake salt and seasoning.

If it comes to other things, Elbek really may not be able to bring them out. It is precisely this snowflake salt and seasonings that he currently has in stock.

When the Ming caravan came earlier, the Ming Taisun specially sent a lot of them.

Nowadays, snowflake salt is second, and the barbecue seasoning is really popular in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

After it is sprinkled on the barbecue, it feels like it is not the same thing at all. The taste can even be swallowed by the tongue.

"Now that Master Haba has spoken, I can't be stingy."

"As a reward, thirty catties of snowflake salt and ten catties of seasoning."

Elbek said with a smile.

Ten kilograms of seasoning is not a small amount. Just a little bit is enough for barbecue. In today's Beiyuan, these ten kilograms of seasoning would cost at least dozens of kilograms of gold.

It's not that Elbek didn't know the price of goods, it's just that these things were given by the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty. Things given away for free, I don't feel bad about giving them to others.

Moreover, the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce who came to the Northern Yuan Dynasty said that if he needed things like snowflake salt and seasonings, he would just ask and have them delivered.

It was specifically told by the Ming Dynasty’s grandson.

At this time, Elbek's favorable opinion of the Ming Dynasty grandson was already very high.

Not only the snowflake salt seasoning, but also the most famous Jingshi Di Bao in the Ming Dynasty will be delivered as soon as they arrive at the border.

Including some precious tea leaves, porcelain, and even the famous rouge and gouache given to the imperial concubines in Elbek harem.

Almost all of Jingshi’s luxury goods series are delivered in batches every month.

If it exists in the capital, it will naturally exist here in Elbek.

For example, famous snacks, the Ming Dynasty Taisun would directly send chefs over to make them on the spot for Elbek.

This is so thoughtful.

As the saying goes, eating people is short of mouth, and taking people is short of hands.

Originally, Elbek was still a little hesitant about what he said about the Northern Yuan Dynasty officials, but now, he simply doesn't think about it so much.

In Elbek's heart, the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty really treated him as his own uncle, and his Majesty must have meant this.

Sure enough, Your Majesty has never forgotten me.

This further strengthened Elbek's intention to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. As for those Han officials, it was irrelevant.

If they were allowed to stay in Beiyuan, they would still support his younger brother. It would be better if they returned to Daming.

After the early dynasty of the Northern Yuan Dynasty ended.

Ou Anmin also went back to his tent.

Everything is good here on the grassland, but it is inconvenient without a city.

The nomadic people lived in pursuit of water and grass. The earliest role of cities was to store supplies and trade.

There is no business or material hoarding here in Beiyuan, even Wang Ting has a large account.

Rather, in order to take care of the Han courtiers, the large tent has the characteristics of the Central Plains.

"Ou Yushi, I heard that your Majesty has been considering building a city recently, but I don't know if it will be implemented."

"If we can really build a city, then we won't have to wander around all the time, and our lives will finally be stable."

A familiar Han minister said with a smile next to Ou Anmin.

This matter was only mentioned in the court recently.

The key lies in the corn feed provided by Daming.

Originally, cattle, sheep, and horses were kept in captivity, and they had to chase water and grass all the time before they could be raised.
