Chapter 530 Zhangjiakou Horse Market opened
Chapter 530: Zhangjiakou Horse Market Opens
"What kind of pot tickets? Why have I never heard of it?" A herderer asked several companies one after another. The merchants asked him for pot tickets, but he refused to sell them to him without pot tickets. He couldn't figure out when even the money was not good, and he became more and more angry.
"This customer, this is our new rule here. If you don't have tickets, you don't want to buy anything." Another waiter at another store told him again.
"Isn't it okay for me to give out three silver coins?" The herder reacted, took out a few silver coins, and said.
"Not selling..." the waiter said.
"Four..." the herdsman said again.
"No sell..." The waiter refused without any hesitation.
"...will five sell them?" The herdsman gritted his teeth and shouted out the limit he could bear. In the past, he could have bought two or three pots of the same price. Even if the horse market was reopened in the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to raise prices, but it shouldn't have risen to such a high all at once! Is there any difference between this and not selling? What kind of ticket is that? Isn't this just not selling?
"...No selling..." The waiter still did not hesitate at all. However, after saying that, he reminded him again: "...This customer seems to be really going to buy it. Let's show you a clear way. On that side, there, you can see many people around there, that is, wherever you go, you can buy things if you don't have tickets..." The waiter didn't care whether his own business was completed, and pushed his own business outward.
"Hmph..." After hearing this, the herdsman rolled up his silver coins and left. He turned around and glared at the waiter, angry.
...
Following the waiter's advice, the herdsman quickly found the place where he could buy things without tickets. He did indeed surrounded people on the three floors of the inner and three floors of the outer floors.
He tried hard to squeeze in, but he saw the big iron pot he was going to buy at a glance.
"How much does a big iron pot cost?" the herdsman asked happily.
"Big iron pot, big iron pot, six silver coins each, first come first served, no tickets, no tickets, no tickets today, only this last one, please hurry up!" The man standing on the platform shouted loudly when he saw someone asking for the price, although there were no tickets here, but because the price was so high, not many people bought it.
"Six?" The herdsman was surprised. Although he didn't have tickets here, he wanted six silver coins and an iron pot. The price was really beyond his tolerance. He only had six silver coins in his hand. He led two horses to the Han merchants for exchange. But now, he could only change one iron pot. Even if he was generous, he would not dare to grit his teeth. The hostility in his heart gradually gathered and his hands were touched to the knife. However, looking at it, there were many Ming Dynasty officials soldiers, and there were many people carrying guns and bows on the wall. He was afraid that he would not think of going out after he took action.
"Brother..., brother..." Just as the herdsman was gritting his teeth, a strong man next to him, shook his shoulders.
The herdsman, who was in a daze, immediately woke up and became alert. He asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do..." The alertness he should have on the grassland, but he forgot because of his distraction. If someone was on the grassland, he would be afraid that it would be a word of death.
"Brother, depending on your appearance, you want to buy an iron pot!" the sturdy man dressed in *** asked kindly.
"Yes, I'm planning to buy an iron pot. Unfortunately, the Han people are cunning and have no tickets and refuse to sell them to me. They don't need tickets here, but they want six silver coins. I'm only six silver coins at hand now. I've led two horses to exchange for it. After buying this iron pot, I can't buy anything else. I also have to bring some needles and threads back, I want to bring a few feet of cloth back, and I want to bring a few kilograms of salt back, and I'm going to bring some tea back, but if I buy an iron pot, I can't buy anything. Tell me, is this Han people deliberately not selling things to us?" The herdsman said in anger, and he was not afraid of others hearing what they said.
"Brother, there is nothing we can do about this. Now the Ming Dynasty and the Dajin were fighting in the east. I heard that they were fighting hard. It is extremely forced to open this horse market now. There are more rules and there is nothing we can do about it. Don't you know that there are merchants among the Han people who sell grain and firearms to the Dajin. The Ming Dynasty suffered a great loss. You said, how could the Ming Dynasty not be too angry?" The strong man also spoke in *** words, and his voice was also loud and he was not afraid of giving it to others.
"This big brother makes sense, but what does it have to do with them in the war with Dajin? The price is too expensive. I took two horses and then changed the pot. Do you think, isn't this the Han people bullying our herdsmen?" The herdsmen were still very angry.
"Hey, there is nothing we can do about this. The Han people can't tell who we are. After entering the grassland, would he still care about whether we are from that tribe? What are we? According to the Han people, a fire in the city gate will cause fish to harm the pond! They were all done by the Great Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, this thing is so expensive?" This strong man said Chinese for a while and *** for a while.
"Brother is a sensible person, and what he said is reasonable..." The herdsman nodded helplessly. Facing the Ming Dynasty official army everywhere, he had no choice but to think about it, fearing that he would be beaten into a sieve immediately. After thinking about it, he only thought of one way, that is, to learn from the past, everyone would join together to knock on the gate. This is not sure that the Han people would be afraid of it, but joining together to knock on the gate is not something that he, a little herdsman, can do. Even if he wants to knock on the gate, it is not something that can be done in a day or two. Now their tribe is fighting with Lin Danhan. If he fights with the Ming people again, even if he doesn't know a word, he knows the disadvantages and can only lower his head.
The herder lowered his head, but the strong man took out a stack of tickets and flipped around the stack of tickets.
The herders had never seen this thing before and asked curiously: "Brother, are you?"
"Hehe, this is the ticket, the Han people make things, you can buy things with this..." the strong man explained proudly.
"This is the ticket!" the herdsman asked curiously, why did he not have the ticket if others had it?
"...Brother is really lucky. We have a pot ticket here. In this way, if you give two silver coins, you will give it to you. If you take this pot ticket to buy the pot, the store only has two silver coins, and only four in total, you can save two to buy other ones. If you think it is cost-effective, take it..." The strong man was able to show off his ticket.
"Brother, where did you get this ticket?" The herdsman was a little moved and gave this brother two silver coins. After he got the ticket, he only bought two silver coins. Together, he only had four silver coins, which was much cheaper than the six silver coins in one pot. However, he wanted to know more about where he got this ticket.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell my brothers. In fact, this Ma City was specially opened by the emperor for us. Our tribe is the imperial army that fights for His Majesty. Our emperor sends us these invoices every month to our lives. When we buy things, it's very cheap. For example, this pot, if you want six silver coins, we only need two, hehe..." The strong man said proudly.
"Imperial Army!" The herdsman opened his eyes wide and looked at the strong man dressed like him. This is the Imperial Army that has been popular last year? They destroyed many tribes in the east and became the swords in the hands of the Han emperor. Now the one who talks to him is the Imperial Army. The herdsman was both surprised, curious, and even more envious. Judging from the clothes of the Imperial Army, he was afraid that life would be really good. Not to mention anything else, this stack of tickets is a lot of property.
"Hehe, not bad,..." The strong man agreed with a smile, constantly fiddling with various tickets in his hand.
"The Han emperor really gave you an invoice?" The herder attracted the stack of tickets in the strong man's hand. With such a stack of tickets, how much silver coins would you have to save to buy things! No, how many animals should you be a good person!
"It's not fake, let's see, there are pot tickets here..., tea tickets..., and needle tickets..." The big man said while flipping through his tickets. He was not able to read. Fortunately, there were various patterns on these tickets, and a large iron pot was drawn on the pot tickets. Some needles were drawn on the needle tickets. Otherwise, the strong man would not recognize these tickets.
The herder looked at the stack of tickets in the strong man's hand and almost drooled.
"The Han emperor treats you so well!...Okay, brother, I'll exchange tickets from you, but we have to go to the store to change them. If the store is willing to sell the pot to me, I will give you money. How about..." The herdsman drooled and directly asked to trade at the merchant to avoid being cheated. It was getting late. He changed the pot, bought other things, and had to go back.
"No problem, let's go now..." The strong man followed the herder with a smile and went straight to the merchant selling pots.
...
"I want to buy a pot..." The herder returned to the business where he had previously guided him "Ming Road" and shouted from a distance.
"This customer, do you have a ticket?" the waiter asked politely, still smiling.
"He has..." the herdsman said loudly. His two horses only exchanged six silver coins. Originally, he wanted to lead the horse directly to the horse market to exchange things, but the Ming Dynasty official army guarding the gate told him to exchange the horses for silver coins first, and then go to buy things. The horse market is not allowed to lead animals, so that he will not be able to afford it if he hits things. He can only sell the horses first, take the silver and then buy things. He looked at the place where the horses were replaced, and planned to cheat people if he was picking up the horses, and he would not do it.
This was a deal, but unexpectedly, the horse-changer was a pertinent person. After seeing his horse, he didn't cheat him, and directly gave him six silver coins. For this reason, he was happy. He kept saying that there were good people among the Han people, and asked the guys who followed him to watch their horses outside the horse market to watch them rushing to the horse market. But after entering the horse market to buy things, he realized that the cheating was very bad, but he had no choice.
"No..." The strong man took out a piece from a stack of tickets, looked at it, and saw that there was indeed a pot on it, so he handed it to the waiter. The waiter smiled and said, "It's right, it's a pot ticket. You can buy an iron pot, where is the silver?" The waiter checked the tickets and found that there was no problem, so he asked the herdsman with a smile. The waiter laughed at the Imperial Army that killed another pig. But he made a net profit of a pot! It was higher than his monthly salary.
"Give it..." The herdsman quickly handed the waiter two silver coins.
"One pot ticket, two silver coins, one big iron pot..." The waiter shouted loudly, then packed the ticket and silver coins.
"I said, brother, our two silver coins..." the strong man said hurriedly.
"Give it..." The herder didn't blame the account, and handed it to the strong man two more. He looked at the two silver coins left in his hand and shook his head.
The waiter was also diligent and soon found a few straw ropes and wooden sticks for the herder to carry the pot on his back.
The herder was a little happy when he was taking the blame. Although the price was a bit expensive, he bought the cost he wanted.
"Brother, I want to buy some tea and needlework. I don't know if there are tickets there, and the price is easy to discuss..." The herdsman then approached the strong man. If he could buy cheaper things through the hands of this brother, he also thought it was worth it. There was one more thing that he was a little envious, that is, why did the Imperial Army have these tickets, but they didn't? Since you can get these tickets for the Han emperor to work hard, you might as well ask about the Imperial Army first.
As soon as I asked, if I could get it, it might be good to join the Imperial Army. I heard that the Han people had a good emperor that was rare in a thousand years. The money in their hands could be piled up into a mountain. Everyone said that the Han emperor was amazing. He happened to meet another Imperial Army and happened to ask about the inside story. Anyway, it was not for anyone to sell for his life. The warriors always came to the Han people to make a living. Most of the people who worked hard were Man Gui, who became the governor of the Han people, was a *** man?
"Don't worry, what do you want, we have what..." The strong man was waiting for the herdsman to say this. He also wanted to earn the two silver coins in his hand. Logically speaking, he could earn at least one of them, and the price was to give out a few tickets. He thought the emperor's method was better than the one who paid military pay. He had gotten the silver coins in his hand, which was real.
After a while, the herdsman happily bought a few needles, some tea and some salt. Although it was much less than what he had booked, it was all ready. As for the fewer ones, he could only buy them in a few days.
"Brother, are you saying that the Han emperor gave you food again?" The herdsmen were shocked by this news! The grassland is now extremely good, and the food is valuable. Unexpectedly, the Han emperor was willing to even give food to the Imperial Army. The treatment is really high.
"That's right, we can get food every month, as well as cloth and sugar. Anyway, what do you want..." The strong man boasted that the emperor did send them food coupons, but it was not food. If you want food, they had to buy it with silver. However, this is better than ordinary people at least. At least, they can buy cheap food so that they won't starve to death. Although they did not directly distribute food, it was a way to guarantee.
"What about Da Nei? Does the Han emperor give it to you too?" The herdsman suddenly asked when he passed by a shop decorated with glass. This glass shop is a place specializing in selling guns. Behind the transparent glass, there are a row of Da Nei muskets, which is really attractive. However, there are many people watching, and few people dare to enter. On the shop, there are Ming Dynasty official guards, holding Da Nei in their hands.
"Hey, of course this is fine, of course... Our Majesty treats us, so we really can't say what we want..." The strong man earned a few silver coins from this herdsman today, and was very happy. Seeing that the herdsman asked about the treatment of their Imperial Army, he started to blew up.
"If my brothers also want to join the Imperial Army, they can come to us. As long as they are obedient, strong and able to fight, we guarantee that you are popular, drink spicy food, and whatever you want..." The strong man boasted about himself and led the herdsman into the Imperial Army.
"Hehehe..." The herdsman smiled a little excitedly, fantasizing about the day he became the leader. In fact, he was carrying some things in his hands, which seemed a bit funny.
...
The whereabouts of these two people have been watched by people in an arrow tower on the urn.
"How?" someone asked.
"Sir, according to what I saw, the herdsman bought an iron pot, a few kilograms of salt, some tea, etc. The Imperial Army collected money from the herdsman a few times, probably earning two or three silver coins..." said the soldier who had been observing the movements of the two people with a thousand-mile mirror.
"Yes, in this way, Your Majesty's strategy has come into effect!" In the arrow tower, a young man was headed calmly. The person in the head was very young, too young. Because he had no beard, he looked really surprised. This person was no one else, but Zhu Shun, and Eunuch Zhu. This time, he started a border market in Zhangjiakou. He was in person. In addition to screening the merchants for trading, he was in charge of checking whether the emperor's method could work. If there was any problem, it was necessary to make timely adjustments to avoid missing the emperor's major affairs. The purpose of his coming here was to make this decision on behalf of the emperor and make appropriate adjustments in a timely and accurate manner. Now after observing the transaction process of some of the Imperial Army, he found that the emperor's plan was initially implemented. This is a good phenomenon. Zhu Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Nanfang Xi has earned tens of millions of taels of silver for the emperor. Although he has also obtained a lot of silver, it is not enough to compare with Xi. Therefore, he is under great pressure. The emperor sent him here to implement this strategy this time, which is a matter that can be compared with Xi. After this, the *** people have become the emperor's thugs. It is no problem to gather the entire ***. The situation in the border is new. The Ming Dynasty spent two hundred years on energy inside and outside the border walls, and finally it can be relaxed. Only this matter can be slightly compared with Xi's tens of millions of taels of silver. Therefore, he must do it well.
"Congratulations, congratulations to you..." A group of people next to him quickly flattered and praised. Most of these people were dressed in government troops, wearing armor, holding sharp weapons, and ready to fight at any time. Outside the door, more government troops were ambushed more government troops, in order to suppress them immediately if there is any change in the Horse Market today, and they made the worst plan. Fortunately, the Horse Market today has been open for so long, and everything is calm and nothing major happened. They also breathed a sigh of relief and praised them.
"Well, okay, we won't listen to good things, we just want to hear bad things. We are really happy when we can say something that is not enough." Although Zhu Shunren was young, he has also experienced the world. He can stand out from tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace and work with the emperor. He has no ability. He has also experienced the Wei case, has handled coins and has rich experience in doing things. Naturally, he will not be so dizzy that he will say a few words to others. He knows what he should do.
"Daddy, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." A man was also Zhu Shun's old follower. Seeing that Zhu asked everyone to give suggestions, he immediately stood up to give suggestions. This man was not afraid that Zhu Shun was telling lies. After all, he was an old follower. He knew that his Eunuch Zhu was under pressure and had to do his best to get what the emperor had assigned to him so that he would have a holy family.
Some people didn't know Zhu Shun's temper, but they looked at the person who was talking in surprise. Take it seriously? Isn't it a scene? Some people who don't understand the inside story looked at the person in surprise.
"Tell me." Zhu Shun said.
"Dad, according to Xiaguan, if the horse market is driven like this, it is obvious that the Imperial Army will benefit, and it is obviously for the Imperial Army. Xiaguan is afraid that other tribes will feel hatred because of this. If those tribes unite to cause trouble for our Ming Dynasty, you have to be careful!" This person said based on what he thought of.
"Hahaha..." Zhu Shun laughed for a while. If this person knew the emperor's strategy, he would not have asked such a simple question. Of course, the emperor's strategy could not be told anyone casually. Eunuch Zhu grabbed his drooping hair and smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this question. Your Majesty has prepared for it. Most of the right wing of this *** is broken, that is, Tumote and Wordusi are still in strength. Who else can be dissatisfied with this Ma City? But does it take for my dynasty to care about their dissatisfaction? Now they themselves
I was still fighting with Lin Danhan to death. If we provoke our Ming Dynasty, wouldn’t we seek death? Even if the conditions for opening the horse market in the Ming Dynasty are harsh, what can they do? Can they still knock on the door? Mandu Governor, the new army, the Imperial Army are vegetarian?... Hahaha..., but if you can consider this issue, it means that you have also used your brain. It’s good..." Zhu Shun knew the emperor’s overall plan, so he naturally knew that the strength to deal with the remaining forces of the right wing was too strong. They really wanted to fight over, too weak, and they would not be able to make the Imperial Army profit.
"My father-in-law is wise, and my father-in-law is wise!" Everyone looked like they suddenly realized and flattered them one after another.
When the others saw this young father-in-law, the famous people in front of the emperor were easy to talk to, they followed suit and made some suggestions. Zhu Shun also listened to some issues he did not consider, and praised them with a few words of stinginess. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
...
There were also some people sitting in a restaurant in Zhangjiakou Pass. The heads of these people were Tian Hongyu, and there were also businessmen who worked with him.
"The father-in-law is a good method, and he will take over the Zhangjiakou transaction at this moment! In the future, we will enjoy the happiness of the father-in-law..." Someone praised it. The market opened well, and the transactions were smooth. The Imperial Army also successfully earned money through tickets, which was a happy situation.
"Hehehe..." Tian Hongyu sat on the head seat, smiling and accepting the respect of others, very proud. Now the entire Zhangjiakou Ma Market can be said to be exclusively occupied by him. Originally, according to the emperor's wishes, there were other merchants who wanted to settle in, but he came up with an idea and made some tricks. He divided his business into dozens of merchants, each using his own signs to do business. It suddenly seemed that there were dozens of merchants in Zhangjiakou Ma Market, which almost filled the entire Ma Market, and it was very prosperous. But in fact, there was only one owner behind it, that was Tian Hongyu. Tian Hongyu had the intention to be with the emperor when he was at the emperor.
Si, after coming out of the emperor, he begged Eunuch Zhu and told Zhu Shun about this idea. After hearing this, Zhu Shun thought it was good. The family was more controllable. The price was more unified and would not mess up the price because of robbing business. Therefore, Tian Hongyu, the only one in Zhangjiakou, was the only one who did business. As for the others, Zhu Shun valued the most about how the emperor's strategy was implemented. As for the favors and relationships, it was secondary. It was better to do errands for the emperor than anything else. Naturally, someone begged him, but if the emperor's errands were ruined, no one could save him, and he was just a bunch of stinky shit.
"...Hehehe, in fact, it's not a complete achievement. There are still other people in Zhangjiakou who do business. Don't be too full of words. We can't stand it..." Tian Hongyu said modestly.
"The father-in-law is humble. The one who sells guns cannot be counted, that cannot be counted..." Everyone cheered again. Indeed, it is not appropriate to say that only one of them in Zhangjiakou Ma City does business. Isn't that the one who sells guns is in the Ma City? It also occupies a good position and is very conspicuous.
"Haha..." Tian Hongyu smiled and accepted the compliments from everyone. To be honest, he didn't dare to mess with the gun seller. That was the emperor's own business. If he used the means of selling guns, he would not have any good results, and he would inevitably have to eat the emperor's first meal.
"...As long as you follow me, Tian Hongyu and follow His Majesty, you will naturally be indispensable. Our business company earns him one or two million a year like playing..." Tian Hongyu was extremely happy and said loudly.
"good……"
"good……"
Everyone burst into laughter again to celebrate the victory of today's flag and the victory opened.
"...Brother Li, you should pay attention to the matter of land reclaiming and farming. Now that Governor Man has arrived in Zhangjiakou, Zhangjiakou is guaranteed. You plant all the land that can be planted inside and outside the pass. We need to make wine nearby and sell it to the *** people nearby to make money. In addition to Zhangjiakou, Xifengkou also planted it for him. As long as it is land, we need the money for land reclaiming. No need for Brother Li to pay a penny of silver. If this is done well, not only will we make money, but we can also win the favor of His Majesty. I, Tian Hongyu, will not explain in detail the reason, do you understand?" Tian Hongyu said again, while half drunk and half awake, that at this time, the horse market was successfully opened, and he dared to arrange the farming matter.
"Thank you for your support, I will do my best..." The merchant surnamed Li stood up immediately, very excited. For nothing else, it was enough to please His Majesty. In other words, the emperor saw the idea he had brought up and the emperor had asked about it.
Chapter completed!
