Zhang Jun couldn't help but be a little stunned after hearing Xia Xun's words: "Don't sell slaves? This..., how should we place the more than 10,000 captives?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Naturalize your household and become a commoner! Take each household as a unit and break them up. They can go to various places to work or farm. You can do whatever you want!"
"Zhang Qianshi, sit down!"
Xia Xun asked Zhang Jun to sit down and explained: "Our fundamental purpose is to stabilize the Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong. [ ] Around us, Koreans, Jurchens, and Tatars are all trying their best to win over each tribe.
, if we turn all the captives into slaves, even if we break them up and distribute them to different places, it is not a good idea.
Wherever there is a slave, there is a master. The relationship between master and slave is irreconcilable. We can live together through communication, integrate people of all ethnic groups, and eventually become a family, but masters and slaves can never become a family. Slave traders
This approach can temporarily boost morale and provide more free labor for the large families in Liaodong, but the seeds of the disaster will be planted and will become a big problem sooner or later, especially since our surroundings are not stable."
Xia Xun rubbed his brows and asked again: "How are the preparations in Hada City?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun became more excited. He had invested a lot of money in the business led by Xia Xun and ordered his two nephews to do it. Now he is eagerly looking forward to transporting a large number of Liaodong people by sea.
What about the huge benefits that will be gained from selling goods to Jiangnan?
Zhang Jundao: "Magurhun worked very hard. Following the instructions of the ministers, several other major tribes in Kaiyuan also got a share of the pie. Of course, the bulk of it still fell into the hands of Magurhun, but since all the major tribes
The tribes unanimously supported it, and now the collection of all kinds of goods is going smoothly. Many tribes have mobilized their entire tribe. The men in their prime are going into the mountains to cut trees, and the women and children are gathering pine nuts, mushrooms, horses, and various fur goods, and they are also gathering at Hada City.
A large amount of wealth gathered in Hada City, and the interests were at stake. Peyishmul, who lived in 30,000 households, no longer complained. The beacons and passes of the Eight Tigers Road were greatly damaged. He did not ask for a single grain or salary.
I sent the young men of my tribe to rush there and work day and night to rebuild it. I have already been there, and the pass is stronger and more majestic than the original one, and there are a large number of soldiers stationed there."
Xia Xun said: "Well, Pei Yizhen did things carefully. Unfortunately, his kidnapped daughter was not rescued this time. I don't know if she died or was sold to someone else by the person who kidnapped her.
"
Zhang Jun did not answer this quarrel. Although it was Shen Yong who refused to send troops in the first place, he was a capital official second only to Shen Yong. He felt guilty when he talked about this matter, so he changed the topic and said:
"I have also said hello to all the guards along the way to Jinzhou from now on. We don't need to worry about this. All the guards on the way happily agreed.
In order to facilitate the passage of such a huge convoy, some guard stations have begun to pave roads in some difficult areas and build bridges on some rivers. They have also organized their people to start collecting local products in preparation for our caravan to pass by.
Join in when the time comes. Our place is now like a source, and all the tributaries along the way converge, eventually forming a mighty river!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "This is a good metaphor, it's exactly like that!"
Zhang Jundao: "Those guards who are not close by are a little jealous. People keep asking me to tell you, Mr. Bu Tang, that we can't let others take advantage of this. Mr. Bu Tang, please
Don't they allow aristocratic families and local celebrities to get some benefits? This way, they can also shut their mouths."
Xia Xun shook his head and said: "No, no, Hada City is just a beginning, a pilot project. Once it succeeds here, it can be implemented throughout Liaodong. One 'river' cannot irrigate the entire Liaodong. I want thousands of rivers to appear in Liaodong."
Such a 'river' will eventually turn into an ocean!"
Zhang Jun couldn't smile from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly: "Well, I'll tell them what the department means and tell them to be safe and sit still. But..."
Zhang Jun rubbed his hands and said with a little worry: "Butang, can these things be sold after they are shipped out? If the backlog is there and cannot be repaid, then it will be bad."
Xia Xun is not worried about sales channels. His transportation and sales network is now so huge. There is Xie Chuanzhong in Beizhili, Pengjia and Ximenjia in Shandong, and Shuangyu Island in eastern Zhejiang. Sales that have been operating for many years have now turned into light.
Network, Fujian and Guangxi have Sun Yifan who is getting stronger and stronger with his support. The Sun family has now replaced the Luo family and has risen rapidly, becoming a big business owner radiating throughout Southeast Asia. Overseas, there is the Qianlong trade, which Lu Mingzhi has already cleaned up.
The warehouse is eagerly awaiting the arrival of a large number of Liaodong specialties that can be quickly transformed into gold and silver treasures to Luzon Island.
Of course Xia Xun has no worries about sales. The wealth gathered in Hada City is now a mouth-watering piece of fat in the eyes of various forces in Liaodong. To Xia Xun, compared with his huge digestion capacity, this little thing is just a drop in the bucket.
, it’s not enough to fill the gap between your teeth, the future market is still huge.
Xia Xun said: "In terms of export sales, you don't have to worry. I have invested a lot of money in it. Haha, am I going to do a loss-making business? Be patient. You have to eat your meal one bite at a time. These first few business trips are just one trip.
Just purchasing all kinds of materials, from picking and producing to transporting and warehousing, involves many links, many races, and many people.
Next, you will find that there are many specific things to do at each step. A child who has just learned to walk will fall if he takes too big steps at once. We can handle these specific things in this process.
, cultivate the experience and flexibility of the specific operators, and when they get used to it, the river will become wider and wider."
When Xia Xun said this, his smile faded slightly, and he added: "However, although the military and political affairs of the Liaodong divisions are unified, military affairs are still the main focus after all, and we cannot abandon the master and take second place. This time we took over the entire Ugu of the Tatars."
Tribe, the Tatars have been beaten hard, and they may not be willing to give up. They should return the favor to us, so military affairs cannot be relaxed. If we lose the battle and let the Tatars be in uninhabited territory in our Liaodong, then
Everything we talked about has come to nothing. Don’t expect to be able to do business with peace of mind in the turbulent war!”
Zhang Jun said solemnly: "Yes!"
At this time, a guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Pei Shit Mu'er, the commander of the 30,000-strong guard capital, wants to see you!"
"Oh? Please come quickly!"
Xia Xun adjusted his attire, and saw Pei Shitemuer walking in hurriedly, holding a letter in his hand. As soon as he saw Xia Xun, he shouted: "Master Bu Tang, Master Bu Tang, there is news about my daughter."
, my Minmin sent a letter back!"
※
The letter was not Han, and Xia Xun didn't recognize it. Pei Shitemuir read it to him word for word. After reading it, he stared at Xia Xun with a pair of bell-like eyes. The letter was Pei Yishi's eldest daughter, Min Minte.
Written by Moore, the foregoing is a family letter, which briefly explains her current situation. It turns out that after she was kidnapped by the Ugu Tatars, she passed by Meng Timur's tribe, and was used by Meng Timur for ten years.
Two sheep were bought from the Ugu tribe warrior.
After buying it, Mengge Timur knew that she was already four months pregnant. The nomads didn't care much about her having a child. Even if it was a big shot like Genghis Khan, his woman was robbed.
She left and was already pregnant when she was snatched back. Genghis Khan didn't take it seriously and treated her as his own child.
Mengge Timur didn't care about this either. Among the many women he had, none was as handsome as Minmin. In addition, Minmin was well-educated, well-behaved, well-behaved and sensible. After becoming his woman, it didn't take long for her to become his wife.
He lost his favorite woman.
But Minmin has never dared to tell her true identity, because Tatars and Jurchens, Jurchens and Jurchens are always fighting for their living space, and there is too much complicated hatred between them. If Tamerlane knew her true identity
Due to her identity and the inextricable hatred between her and her father, the favor she received could not guarantee her life safety.
It wasn't until Tamerlane discussed with his brothers and revealed his intention to defect to the Ming Dynasty that she dared to take the risk to reveal her true identity and became the matchmaker for them. Pei Yishi received a personal letter from her daughter and knew that she was safe and sound.
Naturally, he couldn't help being happy, and immediately brought Timur's envoy to find Xia Xun.
Zhang Jun beamed with joy and said: "Great! Bu Tang, we are establishing our authority in one battle! Mengge Timur led his whole clan to submit and report to the emperor. This is another great contribution to the naturalization of Fu Yi! Bu Tang!
Don, we should arrange for someone to pick them up immediately."
Xia Xun was silent and thought for a while, then raised his eyes and said to Pei Yishi: "Where is their envoy?"
Peishtmur hurriedly said: "I brought him here and he is waiting outside the house!"
Xia Xun said: "Bring him in!"
After a while, several guards with knives escorted a young man wearing a broad robe and a pointed leather hat into the lobby. Xia Xun was startled when he saw his appearance. This man looked very familiar, as if he had seen him before.
The man had already touched his chest and saluted him, and said with a smile: "Master Bu Tang, I am Yalha. I have met you in Kaiyuan City before."
Xia Xun suddenly remembered and exclaimed, "Ah! So it's you!"
Yarha said: "Yes! Although our tribe lives in Tatar territory, many of the things our tribe needs for daily life need to be bought from the Han family, so our tribe has been traveling to and from Liaodong for a long time to do business.
Our people have always wanted to defect to the Ming Dynasty, but they were controlled by the Tatars and did not dare to act rashly. This time, your army wiped out the powerful Ugu tribe, which is very inspiring. Our leader is determined to defect to the Ming Dynasty.
, I also hope that Lord Bu Tang can take us in and protect us!"
Xia Xun looked at Yalha and said, "Are you Brother Meng's brother?"
Yarha said: "Yes, sir, Brother Meng and I are brothers from the same mother. My name is Fancha."
Xia Xun nodded and smiled: "Since you are his brother, there is indeed no one more qualified to represent him than you, so let's talk!"
※※※
Watching Peisht Muer and Yarha leave, Zhang Jun immediately said to Xia Xun impatiently: "Butang, it is a great achievement to lead the troops to join the army. Your Majesty's face is shining, and you are also a meritorious service to the army."
Zhuo Zhuo, we should send someone to pick them up right away. Why do we need him to submit a letter of nomination before he is willing to accept them? The nights are long and the dreams are many. If something goes wrong again, the easy-to-get credit will be gone!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "The Emperor's face already has enough brilliance, and the governor has done enough credit. As long as he has a false reputation and face, can it be used as food or clothing?"
Xia Xun picked up the tea, plucked the tea leaves leisurely, and said: "No one will cherish something that is too easy to get. As soon as we said we wanted to surrender, we greeted each other with houses, land, cows and plows. They
You will feel that you have a rare thing to live in. When you look back, not only will you not be grateful for your help, but you will act like a rogue, threatening to surrender and asking for more things.
There are even some shameless people who regard surrender as their own way to make money. Today they are attached to Korea, tomorrow they are attached to the Tatars, and the day after tomorrow they are attached to the Ming Dynasty.
Mengge Timur said, I don’t believe it because my Ming army defeated the Ugu tribe in one battle, so what kind of dynasty do I admire, what do I admire about the Ming Dynasty, what kind of governor do I revere, it’s all fucking nonsense!”
Xia Xun took a sip of tea, winked at Zhang Jun, and said with a smile: "I don't know why they suddenly want to join, but I know that there must be a last resort reason; I also know that if we are like this
We accepted them and sent out a large army to take them back in a grand manner. It was clear that they were like lost dogs who had no way out before they joined us, but we regarded ourselves as great heroes.
Those who submit to the clan will be received by the emperor in person. When the time comes, they will have to act coquettishly and do favors, and if they want this or that. This is not enough. According to our practice in the Ming Dynasty, we have to choose a place in Liaodong to settle them.
He is so complacent and considers himself a hero. Not only can you not control him, but he will also cause you some troubles from time to time. Do you think you have a headache? You must put down this arrogance as soon as possible and make him understand that he is here to beg us.
Yes, when you get to our land, you have to obey our control. Don't make a fuss about your nose and face, and you are betraying him by being the guest."
Seeing a great contribution coming to his door, Xia Xun didn't accept it right away. Zhang Jun felt really uneasy. He rubbed his hands and said with a bitter smile: "I understand what the minister said, but...,
I’m afraid that they won’t accept the conditions proposed by the ministry and will no longer submit to them…”
Xia Xun sighed and said: "His wife wrote a handwritten letter, and the envoy sent is his brother. With such a battle, do you think he is anxious or we are anxious? We can force them to tell the truth.
Bargaining, right? You said you have such a temperament that if I let you do business, I would definitely lose a lot of money! Are you from Shandong?"
"Ang! How did Master Budo know?"
"Let me tell you, I'm really worried to death..."
"..."
: Just checked, the seven-day average is 8,200. I am still in such a hurry when I have a cold and rhinitis. Facts have proved that I am indeed from Shandong. I am impatient. If you have a vote, please vote for it. I am really in a hurry!!
