Belgutai has led people back in the past few days and is almost back to his own place.
He acted very quickly because he was in a hurry to go back and mobilize manpower, officially take over the market, and reap the benefits. In addition, he was threatened by Zhao Xuan with arson in the market, which made him very unhappy and subconsciously wanted to stay away from the market.
Belgutai was shocked when news came from Na Keer that Yeli Ya wanted to offer a reward to find a certain Han nobleman.
He recalled Zhao Xuan's behavior that day, and there was no sign that anyone in the team was missing, which showed that everyone in Han'er was indeed cunning.
"Fifty good horses, a thousand sheep..."
He murmured to himself and asked doubtfully: "Who among the Han'er on the edge of the grassland is worth fifty horses or a thousand sheep? In my opinion, Zhao Xuan is not worth this price! I don't know, it's Qiu Huiluo or Zhao Jue came and was trapped somewhere in the grassland?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Belgutai shook his head repeatedly, feeling that it was too ridiculous.
The Great Mongol Kingdom and the Great Zhou Family have always been in a hostile relationship on the surface. Even if Genghis Khan launched a Western Expedition and left the grasslands, the small-scale fighting between the two families never stopped. The Mongolian army often massacred tribes attached to the Zhou Dynasty, just as the Zhou army's cavalry often made raids northward.
Bloodshed in battles is necessary to maintain the deterrence of the Golden Family; making money in business stems from the lack of supplies on the grassland. Yeli Yasi, a mere thousand households, dared to cooperate deeply with Zhou Jun's Jinshan defense envoys. Although it was bold, it also had practical support.
When the scale of this cooperation became larger and larger, Belgutai never thought about banning trade. He only hoped to seize the maximum benefit into the hands of the Golden Family and maintain the Golden Family's absolute advantage over the various ministries.
Belgutai followed his talented brother, running around in front of him and behind the horse. He had been exposed to it for decades, and his vision was unmatched by ordinary Mongolians. He was very convinced that behind those Han merchants and those trading houses under various names, they must actually be controlled by the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He had also long understood that trade and war were the needs of both the Mongols and the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty.
But officials like Qiu Huiluo or Zhao Jue would not rush to the grassland rashly. They were always directly responsible for fighting with bows, horses, swords, and battlefields. Making money was the business of their subordinates. If they come, there is only one possibility, that is, the all-out war between Great Mongolia and Great Zhou will break out again.
So, who is this man who is worth fifty fine horses and a thousand sheep?
Why does this person's life and death make Yeli Yasi so nervous?
Belgutai bowed his head in thought, and his subordinates looked at each other.
His eldest son, Han Tuhu, gritted his teeth and said: "Ye Li Ya wants to do this, he is openly showing favor to the Han'er court, and he will betray the Khan! I will take five hundred fine horses to go and ask clearly. If he hesitates, I will kill him!"
Someone immediately responded: "Yeli Yasi got countless benefits from his interactions with Han'er! We happened to kill this thousand households and share all the benefits he had hidden!"
Belgutai picked up the whip at hand and threw it hard at Han Tuhu's face: "Shut up!"
When his subordinates started shouting, Belgutai suddenly figured it out.
He had reasons to intervene in this matter, but he couldn't.
Belgutai relied on the intimidation of the Golden Family to seize the Gouluo Farm, and Yeli Yasi was naturally dissatisfied. Although both of them were members of the left-wing Qianhu, Yeligasi's status was far inferior to that of Belgutai, so he did not dare to disobey Belgutai's robbery. But he was able to express goodwill to Han'er in this way.
What is this Han'er's identity and whether his status is very honorable is actually not important at all. The important thing is that Yeligas is willing to use such huge resources to ensure the safety of a Han'er, making him look far more reliable than the ruthless Belgutai!
If Han'er generally feels that Yeli Yasi is a reliable person, they will naturally try to maintain the cooperation of the past two years, and it will be easy to find other ways of cooperation with Yeli Yasi outside the market.
After all, the horses, livestock, wool and other materials that the Mongols can pay are all scattered among various tribes; Han'er can designate a certain place for trading, or he can disperse his caravans to trade everywhere. In fact, Belgutai cannot limit it.
Of course, this move is tantamount to undermining Belgutai's interests and damaging Belgutai's interests. Belgutai has to respond accordingly. And his subordinates immediately thought of destroying Yeli Yasi's thousand households, simply divided all the benefits of gathering him, and completely cut off Han'er's connection with him.
But can he really do this?
According to what Han Touthu said, Yeliya Si was charged with betraying the Khan and then sent troops to fight?
Not to mention that Yeli Yasi's tribe has expanded rapidly in the past two years. It will definitely be useless to use hundreds of people. Once there is a fight, it will definitely be a battle involving thousands of riders. Such a battle will definitely give the Han'er court in the south an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Just talking about the crime itself, if offering a reward to find a Han'er is a sign of goodwill to Han'er's court, then what's the point of doing business with Han'er's merchants and sharing the wealth?
The Belgutai family took all the benefits, and then used this ridiculous accusation to exterminate a thousand families from a tribe close to Wutou... This is to treat the more than twenty thousand families who were left behind in the grassland. Fool?
When Genghis Khan's fame shook the world, some things were done. The accusations that Genghis Khan brought against Jamukha, Tuoli Khan, and even the Jin court were all based on treating people as fools.
However, after Genghis Khan's Western Expedition, the remaining power of the Golden Family was greatly weakened. The reason why the Nayans of Qianhu still respected the orders of the Golden Family was because their status came from the gift of Genghis Khan. But until now, Genghis Khan has not continued to repay the benefits from the Western countries and distribute them to Qianhu Nayan, so the Golden Family's ability to control Qianhu Nayan has been deteriorating.
At this time, if some basic rules are broken again, it will really disappoint the Qianhu Nayans and lead to greater turmoil!
The most important thing is that if Belgutai does this, he will definitely offend the men. Belgutai also had dealings with Han'er. The reason why he used drastic measures to seize the market was because he was convinced that long-term trade would bring more benefits than one-time massacre and looting!
If the war against Yeliyasi prevents the business of the Gouluo market from continuing, the losses caused to Belgutai will be huge!
Belgutai suddenly had a good idea.
He summoned a hundred households and said in a deep voice: "Take people to various places and tell the Yanmen of the thousand households that Yeli Yasi's men kidnapped Han'er nobles to escape, so he is eager to offer a reward for the pursuit. This case I, Belgutai, already know about the matter, and I am willing to help Yeli Yasi solve the problem... Whoever can find that Haner nobleman and bring it to me, I will give another fifty in addition to Yeli Yasi's reward. A good horse and a thousand sheep!”
A few days after this order was spread, the scattered tribes or wandering herdsmen in the eastern part of the grassland became excited.
