On the vast grassland in the north, with the coming of winter, the cold wind howls, and from time to time it is accompanied by goose-feather universities, covering this grassland in a vast white world.
On this vast grassland, the small towns in the grassland become more lively with the arrival of winter.
There are many herdsmen who like to spend the winter around the town, buy real estate in the town, or simply build yurts around the town.
As a result, a large number of prairie people who came to spend the winter appeared around each small town. Looking up, a large number of yurts gathered together, which was very lively.
This is a phenomenon that has never occurred before.
The reason for this phenomenon is mainly related to the function of the town.
There are a lot of grains and grains in the small towns scattered on the grassland. For the herdsmen who spend the winter, they only need to spend a small amount of money to buy enough grains and grains here. When buying other daily necessities,
It will become very convenient again.
Secondly, once the winter is too cold and the snow falls too much, a large number of cattle and sheep will freeze to death. At this time, these cattle and sheep can be sold to traders in the town. These traders will buy the frozen cattle and sheep, and then
Sold to the Beijing-Tianjin area.
At the same time, the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court to support the grasslands will be the first to arrive in various small towns. If you spend the winter in the small towns, you can receive the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court as soon as possible.
Because of these tangible benefits, when winter comes, herdsmen on the grasslands slowly gather near small towns to spend the winter in the small towns. When spring comes, they will drive their cattle
Sheep go to graze on the grassland.
A large number of herdsmen gathered in the town, making the winter prairie town lively.
The business of the shops here in the town has become very popular. No matter what they sell, it is very easy to sell. The herdsmen are rich, and they can easily sell their cattle, sheep, and horses for more money. Moreover, the herdsmen have always been very generous when they need things.
Big hand, buy big hand.
The gathering of a large number of herdsmen also creates opportunities for young people. Every winter is an important time for these herdsmen to get married. In every small town, people get married almost every day, making the town more lively.
.
However, now, because of the matter of choosing a crown princess, girls from various tribes gathered in small towns wearing beautiful clothes, and were presided over by prestigious old men or leaders in the tribes.
"Beautiful flowers on the grassland~"
Battle braved the cold and rushed back to the area where his tribe was located.
Looking at the tribal girls gathered in front of him, Battle also had a smile on his face.
Compared with before, the population of the tribe has increased a lot, and the children are also growing healthier. Each of these girls is as beautiful as the most beautiful Gesang flower on the grassland.
"I've called you here today because you're lucky~"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to choose a concubine. Our tribe on the grassland has ten places. I will select the ten most beautiful girls among you to participate in the beauty pageant of our grassland people."
"If you are lucky enough, you may become a crown princess and enjoy endless glory and wealth."
"Of course, you may not know what this means now. You just need to know that you can show the beauty of our prairie girls as much as possible!"
Battle's voice was very loud, and he seemed a little excited. Behind him, many nobles from the Naiman tribe gathered together, and they all looked very excited.
When the prince selects his concubine, the grassland tribe actually has a part in it. They can choose ten beauties to participate in the selection of concubine. This is a great honor.
For the people on the grassland, they have gradually forgotten their previous life.
Gradually I got used to the happy days now, with cattle, sheep and horses, vast grasslands, peace and tranquility. The previously precious iron pots, salt, and tea are now just the most common things.
No matter how strong the white-haired wind is in winter, there is no need to be afraid, because food is very cheap, and one cow is enough to buy them food for most of the year.
Countless people sing about the greatness of the Son of Heaven, calling him the greatest Khan. His light shines not only on the northern grasslands, but also on the entire world, allowing countless people to bathe in a happy life.
But this kind of life is naturally very comfortable for ordinary people, but for tribal leaders such as Bater, Hadan, and Huhe, they always feel that there are some shortcomings.
At this moment, they realized that what they lacked was the feeling of being able to participate in national affairs.
Although only ten beauties were selected to participate in the crown prince's concubine selection, for the tribes on the grassland, this was something worth celebrating.
This shows that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty remembered them and did not forget the people on the grassland. He could treat the people on the grassland equally like the Han people.
This also shows that the emperor of Ming Dynasty does not dislike them herdsmen. The beautiful Gesang flowers in their hands can participate in the selection of the crown princess. Maybe in the future, a prince of Ming Dynasty with half grassland blood will be born.
That's what makes them really excited and excited.
…
Nanyun Province is very far away from the capital of Ming Dynasty.
Entering winter, the entire Nanyun Province also enters a delicious season.
The heavy snow in winter turns the mountains white. Looking from a distance, you can see the continuous snow-capped mountains and the white clouds that seem to be reachable. From time to time, a crisp chirp pierces the sky. Looking up, it is a eagle.
Soaring on the top of the snow-capped mountains.
Xiji Port has not become depressed because of the cold winter. On the contrary, because of the arrival of winter, it has become more lively.
Once winter comes to the Crimean Tatars in the north of the Black Sea, they will plunder northward, and a large number of Slavic slaves will be continuously transported to the West Pole Port, making the slave trade here extremely prosperous.
.
In the port, one after another slave ships arrived at the West Pole Port. Before the ships could berth, a large number of slave merchants would gather, waving their banknotes in their hands, trying to buy the slaves on board.
Groups of Slavs in tattered clothes walked off a ship. They had long hair, thick beards, and extremely tattered clothes. They looked like savages, looking at this strange world with curious eyes, but they were very
Soon they will be transported away by their buyers in four-wheeled carriages.
In addition to the Slavic slaves from the north of the Black Sea, the largest number of slaves now are from the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire's army is constantly attacking westward. Wherever it goes, it is like locusts passing through, everything is devoured cleanly.
.
Almost all the living people who could be seen were sold as slaves by the Ottoman Empire to the West Pole Port.
But the focus today is not on the slaves, but on the half a million Georgians and Caucasians living here in West Pole.
"Dear fellow citizens, I have a happy event to share with you today."
David and Simon looked at the dark crowd in front of them. There are more and more Georgians and Caucasians living in Xijipang. The main reason is that Xijipang is developing rapidly and there are many job opportunities. It is easy to find a good job.
Work.
"If you have anything to do, tell me immediately~"
"We still have to go to work~"
"Yes, if you fart, hurry up."
"What happy news can you tell me quickly?"
“Are we going to cut taxes?”
Everyone looked at David and Simon and said impatiently, "Everyone is very busy and has things to do at hand. How can we have time to listen to your non-stop beeping here."
"Ahem~"
"I just received news from the capital that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to choose the crown princess. We Georgians and Caucasians can also participate in the crown prince's selection. The Emperor of Heaven asked us Caucasians and Georgians to select ten beauties to go to the capital to participate in the crown prince's selection.
!”
David smiled and then announced the news excitedly.
"Oh, God~"
"is this real?"
"I can't believe it, I must have heard wrong~"
When the people below who were originally impatient heard this, they immediately exclaimed.
How can Georgians and Caucasians participate in the selection of the crown prince and his concubine?
This is really a great joy.
Especially for the suffering Caucasians and Georgians, this is really a great joy.
You must know that since ancient times, the Georgians and Caucasians here have been deeply looked down upon by the powerful tribes and countries around them.
Because they have been very weak since ancient times, they have been conquered, plundered, and plundered by surrounding powerful tribes and countries. In the Roman era, this was an important source of slaves. Caucasian men were the best slaves, and women were the most
A good bed warmer slave.
Persians, Turks, Arabs, Mongols, Tatars... From ancient times to the present, they have always been conquered and plundered by powerful tribes and countries.
They have never been taken seriously by anyone, and have always been looked down upon. They are synonymous with slaves.
Only after the Ming Dynasty occupied this place, they truly treated them as their own people, without heavy taxes or wanton plundering and looting, and gave them a stable and prosperous life.
Now, what they never expected was that the Georgians and Caucasians could also participate in the selection of concubines by His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.
The Emperor of Heaven, with his noble status, is like the sun in the sky, so high up in the sky that they cannot touch him at all. If even ordinary Han people are here, they will be superior to others.
Now when choosing a concubine, the prince actually favors Georgians and Caucasians. This is absolutely unprecedented respect for them who have always been looked down upon by others.
The news spread quickly throughout Nanyun Province as if it had wings. All the Caucasians and Georgians went crazy and celebrated happily, which was more solemn and joyful than any other festival.
They held beauty pageants spontaneously without the need for government organization. All girls who met the requirements were sent to participate in the beauty pageants by their parents.
Georgians and Caucasians want to send their most beautiful girls to the capital, even if it is just to show His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
For Georgians and Caucasians who have suffered from discrimination and have always been looked down upon, nothing makes them happier than this.
