[Night Ming] Volume 2 Song of Winter Chapter 286 Growing

Business! In fact, you need to see more thoroughly, everything in the world is business.

In the dark forest area, Zhai Zhe stood at the big tent and watched the happy herd slaves walk into the camp.

"Stand up, stand up!" the soldier shouted with a horse whip, "Line in a row!"

Bao Guang led his personal guards to check their bodies one by one, and then they had to test equestrians and bows. The Han people who entered the camp looked nervous. This level determines their future destiny, whether to continue to be slaves to the Tumotes in Mongolia, or to become cavalrymen who showed power like their companions they once envied.

With the lessons of the Han tribe, Omubu Khan no longer dared to incorporate Han slaves from the tribe into cavalry. In the eyes of the Mongols, those people were just tools for producing food for them. Therefore, he agreed to Zhai Zhe's request, but he did not give them away for nothing. For a month, the tribe of Geriletu started first, and the Khan tent cavalry picked out Han people who were proficient in equestrianism from the tribe, and each Han person sold them to Zhai Zhe at the price of twenty stones of rice and millet.

Without the food imported from the Ming Dynasty, the Han people from the Tumote tribe could survive until the autumn harvest next year, but Omubuhan would rather all starve to death on the Baibai grassland than give Han slaves to Zhai Zhe. The price is very expensive, and it is ten times more expensive than buying a slave in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhai Zhe still agreed to Omubuhan's request.

For the past month, this news has been rumored in Guihua City. Whether it is the Chahars, the Mongols in Mobei or Modong who come here to buy goods, they have all heard about the Han people buying Hannu cavalry at high prices. Because Zhai Zhe was too sensitive in the remnants of Arukha, Omubuhan did not feel like revealing his name.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the grain cannot be paid in one go, and it is transported to Guihua City by the Shang Alliance every month, and continues until next year's autumn harvest. The 1,500 young and strong men selected by the Tumotes entered Zhai's barracks. The personal guards took seven days to select and returned 300 unqualified people, leaving 1,200 people. These people were disbanded and organized into various cavalry for various training.

Zhai Zhe looked at the Han slaves who were returned to Tumote and knelt in front of the camp and begged hard. He was not heartless, but of course he also had compassion. But this was not just a business. Even if the unqualified soldiers were given away for free by the Tumote, he could not accept them.

Mao Hanyin and Geriletu were responsible for the transaction at the Ming army camp. One was the tribal leader who was close to Zhai Zhe, and the other represented Omubuhan.

"With this food, Dahan should be ecstatic, right?" Zhai Zhe saw Mao Han's plump buttocks rolling in front of his eyes, and he wanted to put them on.

"Of course! It's the love that Master Qianhu remembered in the past!" Mao Han had a shy face, which was completely different from his previous attitude towards Zhai Zhe. "Those people were crying so pitifully, otherwise Master Qianhu would be taken away!" His round fingers were escorted back by the cavalry outside the camp.

"Free gift, I can consider it!"

Mao Hanyin laughed and said, "My lord is joking. If you give it away for free, Dahan will think I have taken you good!"

"Didn't I give enough benefits?" Zhai Zhe sneered. This was an agreement with half of the food delivery. How many reasons are he willing to accept such a harsh price?

The Tumotes owned cattle, horses and livestock. Most of these foods were raised by the Han slaves who had nowhere to go to the grassland. He married Ulan as his wife and felt that he was indebted and wanted to take this opportunity to compensate the Tumote tribe. The most important reason was that this was the beginning of his cooperation with the Tumote tribe. Only an attractive start could continue the subsequent action.

On the official road beside Desheng Fort, there were endless mules, horses and carts, which made the officers and soldiers guarding the fort look at it. This is not a convenient road pass. It has never been so lively for decades. It is all given by thousands of cavalrymen who went out of the frontier. Liu Suifeng, who went out of the frontier at the same time as the caravan, witnessed the scenery of the grassland for the first time. When Zhai Zhe was familiar with the dealings between the Mongols, he was curious and excited. As Zhai Zhe's aide, the more he knew about his employer in a few months, the more excited he felt. This Gang general was indeed different from ordinary Gang generals.

A general who married the sister of Fan Yongdou, the leader of the Shanxi merchant, as his wife and was about to marry the sister of the Khan of the Tumote tribe as his wife. He controlled the top three business names in Jin. No matter how you look at it, they are all people who have the chance to stomp their feet and make the Jin land shake. Zhai Zhe was too reserved, so reserved that he surprised Liu Suifeng.

Xiao Zhiyan brought Liu Suifeng into the camp in the forest.

"The outside of the Great Wall is simple and not as comfortable as Datong. Can you still get used to it here?" Zhai Zhe joked when he saw him.

Liu Suifeng rode all the way along the horse. He was not good at equestrianism, but in order to facilitate the convenience of following Zhai Zhe to fight everywhere in the future, he would exercise whenever he had the chance these days. Along the mountain road, the inside of the double stride was so painful when he got off the horse. Liu Suifeng grinned and walked like a big crab. He replied: "No matter how bad it is, it will be more painful than me running around in the thief camp. Don't look down on others."

"Scholars can not suffer much!" Zhai Zhe's words are the truth. Apart from Liu Suifeng's experience, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone with a capable official who comes from a frontier with him.

"Well, it's not bad. In my opinion, the Ming Dynasty was too arrogant to scholars!" Liu Suifeng sat on the soft grass at the door of the big tent, feeling much more comfortable.

"Now is the best time. After October, you will only realize the difficulties outside the border!" Zhai Zhe put his hips on his hips and joked: "If you really have the ability to do this winter, don't go back to the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Suifeng thought for a moment and said, "I am serving for the adults. Of course, I can stay here too."

"In my opinion, it is the right way to stay in the grassland, sir and this cavalry until... until sir become the general of Datong!" Liu Suifeng didn't seem to be in a joking tone, Zhai Zhe stared at him and waited for him to explain.

"My dear Lord really wants to serve the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind. Whether it is for himself or for the Ming Dynasty, he must be the general of Datong!" As an aide, Liu Suifeng is always considering Zhai's future.

“Why?”

"Only by becoming the general of Datong, can the generals have the power to protect themselves!" Liu Suifeng spoke directly, "Mr. Lu is an capable governor, but a capable governor has advantages and disadvantages for the generals. Now Duke Lu is in Xuanda and is in trouble with internal and external troubles, and has to rely on the power of the generals. However, once Duke Lu makes Xuanda's business as impregnable, he will never tolerate such a person."

"I have thought so too!" Zhai Zhe was a little unhappy.

"My Lord is now a general of Datong, and Duke Lu personally recommended it. It is not necessary to be abide by the rules. Staying in the grassland, the emperor is far away, so you can take this opportunity to strengthen your strength as soon as possible. When the power of yours grows so strong that even Duke Lu will be afraid of it, it will not be so difficult for him to be the general!" Liu Suifeng speculated on his understanding of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom.

"When the time comes, Mr. Lu will force me to rebel against me, and he will also take the responsibility of not knowing people, right?" Zhai Zhe was not stupid either.

"Internal contact with Shanxi merchants and external contact with Mongolia is the advantage of adults. As long as next year, the adults are not yet full of wings, Duke Lu will not give adults another chance!"
