Huang You laughed and took out a big bag of fried highland barley from the carriage. The guys on the convoy immediately lit a large pile of cow dung fire, and more than a dozen new counting houses were quickly erected, with bright yellow copper
The pot is hung on the hook, and you can tell without looking that it contains the most delicious butter tea...
The other shepherd women saw that Yumcuo had met their good friend. The women naturally took over the work from the clumsy men who made butter tea and mixed highland barley tsampa, and invited them to warm the fire and drink tea...
"Yongcuo, you are the best herdsman on the grassland, and I am the best businessman on the grassland. Since we are both the best, why can't we let our people eat the best and wear the best? General
All those greedy leaders have been driven away.
From now on, there will no longer be any leader riding on our heads to demand our cattle and sheep. As long as we pay a little tax to the government every year, the rest will be our own..."
Yong Cuo took a big sip of kumiss and shook his head: "I have nothing, nothing left. The damn war took away everything from me."
Huang You said with a smile: "You don't have it, but I do! I will buy ponies, calves, and lambs. In just a year or two, we will have a large number of cattle and sheep in no time!"
The drunken Yongcuo shook his head again and said: "Whose cattle and sheep should be grazed by whoever owns them. This is the will of the gods. If you let others herd your cattle and sheep, they will starve to death. Animals are gifts given to the grassland by the gods. You
You can’t do it unless you try your best.”
Huang You pointed to his fat belly and said: "Do you think I can herd? Or can I herd?" After speaking, he pointed to the women, children and other old shepherds who were working hard to eat and drink, and lowered his voice and said: "If we don't work hard to raise animals,
How can these people survive raising cattle, horses, and sheep? Only with cattle and sheep can they survive.
I'll help them borrow some cattle and sheep on credit. As long as they graze well, the debt will be paid off. You don't know, the people in Song Dynasty are fools who have many cattle and sheep. As long as you give them some cattle and sheep every year, even if you don't pay back the debt,
It doesn’t matter…”
Yongcuo's dim old eyes suddenly became extremely bright. He grabbed Huang You's hand and asked hurriedly: "Can you borrow cattle and sheep for them? If so, we will herd well and we will definitely repay the debts we owe others.
, the descendants of Snow Mountain never tell lies.”
Huang You was overjoyed. He took the leather bag in Yong Cuo's hand and drank half of the bag of wine. He laughed and said, "It's settled. I'll find a way to provide food for you people this winter. As soon as spring comes, we will
Start preparing the pasture.
Yong Cuo, please tell me first which area is the best pasture. We must get the best pasture before others do. In this way, our cattle and sheep will be the fattest."
Yong Cuo also became happy, and he was completely relieved from the miserable mood of these years. Yes, the war was over. Although it was ended by the Song people, in any case, the war was finally over, and he could shepherd sheep well...
…
Dou Sha Pass is actually a kaleidoscope, where the influence of merchants from the entire Song Dynasty is spread. In the Song Dynasty, merchants without officials as backers could not become big businessmen.
Now that Yun Zheng has lifted the ban, he will of course allow all merchants to enter the grassland. However, the merchants of Shuzhong Trading Company followed the army. They relied on their familiarity with the grassland and naturally occupied the most important places in the fastest time.
Good pastures robbed the most grassland women and children.
What happened to Yongcuo is just an example. The people of Shuzhong Trading Company at least understand that in order for horses to run, they need to feed the horses. Having experienced a rich battlefield environment, they know that they cannot overtax the manpower they need.
Why not get more benefits if you pay a little insignificant benefit?
Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, not to mention the free-spirited Tubo people. Even if only the old, weak, women and children are left, their destructive power cannot be underestimated.
Patience - Strength - Latent - Explosion This is a fundamental process of the development of things. The reason why the Tubo people have been in chaos for hundreds of years and cannot form a unified country is basically due to the stubbornness in the nature of the Tubo people.
The difference between Luzhou merchants and Tokyo merchants and Shuzhong merchants is that they enjoy the happiness of conquerors more. They think that since they are already conquerors, they must squeeze out every profit here, said a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs
The outrageous land price given by Wai Lang contributed to their desire to recover their capital in the shortest possible time.
After this desire was strong enough, simplicity and crudeness followed. When Yong Cuo saw the strings of Tibetan women and children tied together, he was so sad and angry that he could hardly speak.
Huang You almost roared and pointed at the men wearing leather armor and said: "Look clearly, look clearly, hold your children well, and all the women, go and stay in the car. These are the outsiders you call...
…ran to our grasslands to rob people…”
"Oh my god, Zhumu, run over here quickly." A woman sitting on a Lele car shouted to a woman holding a child and trying to run here. Behind her was a sturdy man with tattoos all over his body.
The big man was cursing and chasing after him, and in the distance there was a knight who had opened his long bow.
There was a commotion in the opposing team. An old shepherd cut the rope with something unknown, untied the woman in front and told her to run quickly.
Huang You rolled his eyes and yelled: "If any bastard dares to shoot an arrow, I will report it to the general and use you as a target for arrows. Why don't you go help me quickly?"
The knight who raised his bow was stunned for a moment and did not dare to shoot the arrow. The leader of the guard of Huang You's caravan had already rushed out, passing the panting woman, and knocked the brawny man to the ground with his war horse, habitually
He picked up the spear in his hand and was about to stab it.
"Lao Ma, you can't kill people, just rob them..."
Hearing Huang You's words, Yong Cuo thought that he was not with the wrong person. It was obvious that the other party had more people and more knights than his own. Even so, Huang You decided to save those poor tribesmen.
...So Yongcuo bravely rushed forward on his old horse...
Lao Ma is a retired general in the Western Beijing Army. His left leg was injured and was an inch shorter than his right leg. Naturally, he could not continue to join the army. He was originally going to be transferred to a training officer (see "History of the Song Dynasty, Military System"
》 was hired by Huang You with a high salary to be the guard leader of his caravan.
Because of Lao Ma, the Huang family's caravan guards looked a bit like the Western Beijing Army. Even when they were in Mobei, they dared to fight against the vicious bandits. What about the few flowery arms from the capital?
their opponents.
Huang You didn't dare to do such things as murder, but he could do such things as fights in Shu without any psychological burden. Seeing that the guards of his caravan had defeated their opponents and fled in panic, Huang You came here proudly
The businessman from the capital with a bruised nose and face said beside him: "This is the rule on the grassland. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say."
Seeing the furious Yong Cui coming, he roared again: "I know you are short of manpower, but you can't do this. These are all people. The general has repeatedly asked us to come to the grassland to rescue women and children. Is this how you rescue women and children?"
People, I’ll take them away. If you have the guts, go report it. Maybe you will all be killed by horse thieves next time. If you don’t believe it, just give it a try.”
After saying that, he kicked the shopkeeper in Beijing in the face. Seeing his mouth and nose bleeding, he was satisfied and asked the guards to untie the ropes of the Tibetan people and bring them into his team and continue walking back.
The ranch is in urgent need of rest now, and there is no time to waste here.
He didn't care about untying the ropes on the Tibetan people. With a good brother like Yongcuo here, the ropes would be firmly tied to the hearts of the Tibetan people.
The convoy had gone far away, and Huang You was still looking back at the businessmen in the capital in the distance. The general said that as long as merchants from the Song Dynasty were qualified to purchase land in the grasslands of western Yunnan, the general never said that
Ensure that businessmen in other places can happily make a fortune here.
If you want to make a fortune in the wilderness, you can't do it without strength. The general is now worried about selling out all the pastures here. After these fools hand over all their money to the general, he will unite with the other businessmen to slowly deal with these people.
A guy who wants to get rich crazy.
Farming? This is a big fucking joke. The general is right, the grassland is a place for grazing livestock. If you want to farm, it is best to go to the Heluo area or Jiangnan.
A good herder like Yongcuo will definitely have a thousand ways to prevent these people from farming. The green wheat seedlings are probably what the livestock will like to eat...
The general is an official and is always on guard against others. I don't rely on the general and can play a good trick of farmers and herdsmen fighting for land on the grassland!
The inherent tranquility of the silent grassland was broken by the wheels of Song merchants. The snowy land carried too many careerists. The early Tubo people wanted to unify western Yunnan, but they failed to do so. Now the ambitions of Song merchants
It started to take root here again.
The terrifying imperial power was like a dark cloud weighing on their heads, making them breathless. Now, in western Yunnan, they breathed the air of freedom that they had not seen for a long time. They were confident in controlling this land, no matter who the imperial court sent as officials here.
, they are also confident that they can firmly control this place. As long as they and the remaining Tibetan people can get along harmoniously, this goal will be achieved.
So Huang You took off his excessive mink skin and draped it on a Tibetan mother holding her child. He gave his warm cart to three pregnant women to ride in, and also gave away his best car.
Food was also given to them.
Those who don't plan for the world will not plan for a domain. Businessmen who have read the art of war will become conspirators in the shortest possible time. No one here, and every child who is about to be born, is his most natural ally. (My novel "
