The signing of the alliance was relatively smooth.↑Small,...o&1t;/p>

The two sides mainly discussed the pricing of traded goods for a long time, and the most contested were the price of horses, as well as the prices of weapons and armor from the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

As for other commodities, the Ming Dynasty envoy has listed the price list. Lin Danhan took it and saw that the prices of these commodities were indeed lower than those goods smuggled into Mongolian grasslands by Shanxi Shanxi merchants. Some commodities even dropped exponentially. After all, as long as the commodities were transported to Zhangjiakou, there was no need to bear too much risk.&1t;/p>

Although these goods are cheap, the price is actually 20% or 30% higher than the price in the pass, but it is not so profitable. The purchase of Mongolian specialties such as wool and fur is also much higher. However, such prices are only a lot higher than the bilateral trade price at this time, but the market price sold to the Ming Dynasty is still relatively cheap. As long as the royal capital buys these specialties such as fur and wool and processes them, they can also make a considerable profit.&1t;/p>

However, such pricing is the most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Why do you say so?&1t;/p>

Although profitable trade makes money, it also depends on whether the Mongolians have money! After so many years of trade with the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolians had long lost a large amount of precious metals. The Mongolians had no money anymore, and a group of Mongolian nobles could only hope that their leader would lead the brother to go south to rob, so as to grab some silver, make up for the imbalanced import and export, and let the good life continue.&1t;/p>

Then the fur, wool and other specialties produced by the Mongolians can maintain the demand for basic daily necessities such as tea, iron pots, and the Mongolian nobles can also get some money to live. In addition, Lin Danhan has the greatest benefits. Naturally, he will not come to harass the Ming border. Once the Mongolians taste the sweetness and robbery, they must think carefully before robbing, and whether it will affect bilateral trade.&1t;/p>

Seeing this price list, Lin Danhan suddenly developed a kind of "The Ming Dynasty court was so kind to chase the foot. Compared with those unscrupulous Shanxi merchants, such a price is indeed too kind.&1t;/p>

Previously, the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols was mainly tea horses.&1t;/p>

However, the Mongolians' specialty was not only horses, and the goods they needed were not only tea. So those furs, wool and other things were exchanged by Shanxi merchants at the polar prices. The most valuable one was horses. But the price was only higher than the official price of the Ming Dynasty, and in fact it was not much higher.&1t;/p>

Lin Danhan, who was very satisfied with the purchase price of Mongolia's specialty products and the selling price of the Ming Dynasty's goods, was the only thing he was not satisfied with was the selling price of horses and the price of steel and military equipment sold by the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

"It costs at least 30 taels for a horse on the horse, and it is impossible to be lowered any more." Lin Danhan shouted, and the envoy of the Ming Dynasty bargained, saying: "The maximum is 25 taels, no matter how high we are, we can't afford it. And you should know that after the price of our goods is reduced, you can buy goods that are now worth 40 taels for 25 taels of silver."&1t;/p>

"Ben Khan said 3o is 3o." Lin Dan Khan insisted.&1t;/p>

"Otherwise, both of us will take a step back. The price is discounted, how about 27.5 taels? You should know that our Ming Dynasty did not only buy horses from Mongolia. Yarkand and Wusizang are willing to sell war horses to our Ming Dynasty. The number we purchased is only 30,000 at the moment." The Ming Dynasty envoy suggested, and Lin Danhan paused for a few seconds and said helplessly: "Okay! That's 27.5 taels."&1t;/p>

The price of war horses was quickly agreed, one horse was 10 liang, one horse was 15 liang, and one horse was 20 liang. In addition to purchasing war horses, it is impossible to dismount as a war horse, and if there is a high-quality war horse and does not use it, there will be a large amount of trade and there is no trade limit.&1t;/p>

Northern Zhili is currently building roads everywhere and manufacturing heavy-duty horses for transportation, which requires a large number of horses for transportation. Those who dismount horses are obviously very suitable for middle horses.&1t;/p>

At the same time, horses can also be used to cultivate land, and if Mongolian horses can be traded for commercialization, the productivity of the Ming Dynasty will be quite high. Although the Ming Dynasty can raise horses everywhere, the number of commercial horses is indeed insufficient.&1t;/p>

While horses were commercialized, the Ming Dynasty also sold grain to Mongolia.&1t;/p>

Because once the Mongolians expand the scale of horse stocking, they will inevitably reduce the number of cattle and sheep stockings, which will create a certain demand for food.&1t;/p>

In terms of the transaction volume of war horses, Lin Danhan also accepted a 30,000 horses per year. Mongolia does not lack grasslands. If food can be purchased from the Ming Dynasty, it is completely feasible to expand the scale of horse breeding. Moreover, the number of war horses in Mongolia is still sufficient to support such a transaction scale.&1t;/p>

Although Zhu Youxiao said he would buy war horses at all costs, he did not go over and buy them directly. Instead, he developed a way to drag Mongolia into a commercialized economy and society, so that the Mongolians and the Ming Dynasty could be combined with the commercialized economy. Once the Mongolians also accepted commercialization, it would be too simple to buy war horses.&1t;/p>

After some diplomatic means, the price of war horses was discussed at a low price of 27.5 taels. If you buy these horses in the Ming Dynasty, the price will be at least 40 taels, and 50 taels per horse is a very normal price. Because the Ming Dynasty also has a large private market for these war horses. When those powerful merchants and even landlords are so much money that they are so painful, who doesn’t want to make a few good horses to show off?&1t;/p>

In ancient times, good horses were like Ferraris in later generations!&1t;/p>

Horses are carts. The horses used to cultivate the land in the north are equivalent to the level of tractors. And those supernatural "power horses" are equivalent to luxury sports cars.&1t;/p>

Lin Danhan was willing to accept this price, mainly because the Shanxi merchants bought Mongolian war horses, which was a little lower than this price, but they were not far from the place. The most important thing is that the prices of various Ming commodities stipulated in the alliance have dropped a lot, allowing the 27.5 taels of silver that can be obtained by selling war horses to buy more luxury goods.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the Yarkand Khanate and Uszang would indeed sell war horses to the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty offered such a generous commodity price, it would be too easy to buy war horses. Especially in Wuszang, those lamas would definitely sell as many war horses as they had. After all, those lamas used religion to control politics, and they were not wary of the Ming Dynasty in terms of force. Many times, there were political problems in Tibet, and they were all seeking the Mongols to send troops. Then the Mongols, like Western countries, were still religiously controlled politics.&1t;/p>

Therefore, Tibet does not care much about the issue of force. As long as the Ming Dynasty also pulls Tibet into the commercialization mode, there are so many grasslands in Tibet and Qinghai, and there are many war horses that can be produced every year. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
