Yang Fan went to the Onan River to ignore the Yate people. The donkey eggs were left on the shore of Hulun Lake. There were two boats left at the same time.
Ordnance is being unloaded on a ship. Three thousand Japanese iron cannons and ten thousand kilograms of lead bullets, as well as one thousand sticks of gunpowder. Transferred from Donkey Egg to Saliwen. Saliwen was a tabunang of the Chechen Khan tribe and the son-in-law of Shuolei Khan. He is a confidant and a person of deep trust.
Shuolei Khan has made up his mind to equip all these muskets in his own guard. He made an agreement with Yang Fan that these muskets could be used to purchase a piece of land, and Yang Fan could use it to build the city of Manchuria.
Yang Fan promised that in addition to building a dock in Hulun Lake, there would be no more than a thousand troops stationed in the city. Yang Fan plans to develop this place into a commercial hub city.
After visiting the firearms shooting, Shuolei Khan had a strong desire to buy firearms. He planned to buy some artillery with Yang Fan. Yang Fan has a lot of squatting tiger cannons in his hands, including the Ming Dynasty's general cannons, second general cannons, and third general cannons of various calibers. Even the French cannon cannot be sold to him.
Because he proposed an exchange condition that Yang Fan could not refuse. That is alluvial gold.
Yang Fan has always loved gold the most. Because the fee he pays for teleportation is gold.
In the case of Yang Fan's now popular Napoleon cannon, the squatting cannon and the like that he had captured in previous wars had no place other than to be recycled, so they simply sold them to Shuolei.
Yang Fan has already sent a telegram asking Jeju Island to ship it as soon as possible.
Once Donkey Dan has finished the handover, everything will be fine. According to Yang Fan's explanation, officers and soldiers can be given holidays in rotation. Wait for Yang Fan to come back. Donkey Dan found a piece of flat land on the shore and cleared away the snow. A tent was set up. Allowing officers and soldiers to trade freely with the herdsmen here.
This made the officers and soldiers interested. They have a lot of their own personal stuff, which is a good thing here. Mongolians will love it. And they also like the precious skins here, and they can sell them for a lot of money if they take them back. They were all servants and members of the pirate group, as well as some sailors from the fleet.
They exchanged their own things for the herdsmen's things, which could be sold to Nagasaki for a lot of money. It's also quite cold in Japan, and those dignitaries also need furs to survive the winter. In addition, the Yangban nobles in southern Korea will also buy it. These things are easy to sell.
Shuolei Khan originally talked with Yang Fan about officially launching trade in the spring of next year. Because Yang Fan could not stay for a few days before he had to return. Because the river is about to be closed. The boat will be frozen in the water at night, and we can only wait until next year to go back.
Unexpectedly, the sailors brought by Yang Fan spontaneously held a flea market. They set up street stalls and exchanged their belongings with the herdsmen. Immediately, there was a sensation in the entire camp.
More than half a million people spend the winter here and within a hundred miles nearby. This is the center of the winter camp. After the news spread, many nearby herdsmen came to attend the market.
They were all disappointed because the Sable Route caravan did not come this year. Although I don’t know what these Han people have, after all, they are an army and not a caravan. However, idleness in winter is idleness, so you might as well come and see the excitement.
In fact, they are so idle in winter. It is the nature of all ethnic groups to watch the excitement, and everyone is the same. Just go shopping with your wife and kids.
Wei Dahu took his general banner, a total of thirty brothers, and set up a street stall by the lake. They did not follow Yang Fan, their mission was to stay here.
All their thirty-one brothers traded were personal items. There was a rag spread in front of Zhang Xiao, with three towels, two pieces of soap, and ten cans of luncheon meat placed on it. A ten-pound bag of fried noodles.
These were the supplies issued to him. Yang Fan always uses affluence, and they simply can't use it up. Therefore, these animals often take these things to the secret door.
The girls in the secret door are very rare for these military supplies. Because these things are very easy to sell, and you can earn much more than giving money. There are specialized people who buy them and then sell them to the capital to wealthy people. You can't buy these things in supermarkets. Wherever Yang Fan's army is active, these things are in hot demand.
Yang Fan only strictly prohibited gambling, and he didn't bother to care about these trivial matters. The military is a high-risk profession and is highly stressful, especially during wartime. The officers and soldiers are under great psychological pressure. These activities that the Ming Dynasty people loved to see,
Helps relieve tension. So Yang Fan didn't care at all.
Soon, a strong man who was as tall as Wei Dahu, two meters tall, came to the stall with his wife, a son, and a daughter. He gestured and asked him what the towel was for.
Zhang Xiao demonstrated it to them, and they immediately screamed in surprise. This thing is very useful for wiping water.
"I want both of these towels. I'll give you one, and a handful of sand gold. How about it." The strong man said in an angry voice. This guy can actually speak simple Chinese.
Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded. What is the situation? Is the gold here so worthless?
Seeing that Zhang Xiao was silent, the strong man grabbed three handfuls of alluvial gold from his pocket with his big hands like cattail leaf fans and placed them on the rags.
"Three piles of gold, yours. Three towels, mine." The strong man took his wife and children away.
Only then did Zhang Xiao react. He quickly took out the kettle, poured three piles of sand gold into the kettle, and then tightened the lid. Afraid of spilling a little bit. Oh my God, eight taels of gold!
In the Ming Dynasty, one catty weighed 600 grams, sixteen taels. This is equivalent to 300 grams of sand gold. Although these sand gold is not pure. But how can I get 200 grams of pure gold.
Wei Dahu also opened. He sold the leather boots he had bought last year. Three pieces of sable skin were exchanged, enough to make a hat.
Sable, also known as sable, commonly known as big leaf, is a precious and rare fur animal.
Sable fur is fine-haired fur. The leather board is delicate, strong and durable, with rich villi, flexible guard hairs, smooth color, gorgeous and soft, and has always been regarded as a treasure. Fur coats made of sable fur are warm when exposed to the wind, their fingertips are like flames, they do not get wet when exposed to water, and they disappear when touched by snow.
In the Qing Dynasty, it was stipulated that only the royal family and princes and ministers of second or higher rank could wear mink fur. It can be seen that it is precious.
Compressed biscuits have also been welcomed by herdsmen. They like the biscuits sealed in tinplate cans very much. By eating only a small piece, they can go without eating for a day. It's so amazing.
They grazed their herds and slept in the open, often without food. It's great to have this thing.
The animals soon discovered that Mongolians also loved sweets. Their daily rations for individual soldiers, candies and chocolates sold for a good price.
A handful of sand gold can be exchanged for a 20-ounce piece of dark chocolate wrapped in tinfoil. Or ten fruit candies.
These animals sold almost everything they didn't use. What's last year's cotton coat, cotton jacket? Old boots. Some people even sold all their medicines. He was beaten with a military stick by Donkey Dan.
