Oh my god, has anyone finally seen this?
Duo'er choked up and sighed, "Your Highness is wise. Isn't it just that you have to find a way to build the city wall?"
Zhu Bai grinned: "Go hunting first."
Eh? Why did you stop talking in the middle of the sentence?
Duo'er just hesitated and wanted to ask more.
Zhu Biao has run away.
Duo'er just lost her temper and gritted her teeth: "Damn it, this kid is really hateful. Now he has whetted my appetite, and he ran away again."
Zhu Bai ran to the river and saw that the grass had just sprouted and he could already see pheasants poking their heads by the river.
Zhu Bai concentrated his mind, drew his bow and aimed his arrows, and completed the task in one go.
"Whoosh" the arrow flew out and hit the pheasant right in the eye.
"Okay." Duo'er just yelled.
This sound is definitely sincere.
Even for a mature cavalryman, it is difficult to guarantee a hit while riding a horse, let alone something as small as a pheasant.
The key is how old Zhu Bai is.
Before he could finish his words, a pheasant flapping its wings started up.
Zhu Bai quickly nocked an arrow and fired it at the pheasant in mid-air.
The pheasant fell from mid-air and was shot in the eye again.
Duo'er was surprised when she lost her knot, and things in riding and shooting were even more difficult.
He is Mongolian.
The Mongols won't obey anyone except those who are better at riding and shooting than they are.
Zhang Yu and the others knew that Zhu Bai wanted to show off his cavalry and shooting skills in order to convince Duo'er, so they didn't move and only stood guard behind Zhu Bai from a distance to prevent anyone from attacking.
Zhu Bai put away his bow and said, "Okay, I'm done shooting, let's go back."
Duo'er just lost her temper and looked confused: "Ang?!"
No, we haven’t opened yet.
No one plays like you.
Before Zhu Bai could say anything else, he reined up his horse and ran away.
Zhang Yu and the others were also confused, so they could only pick up the pheasant and follow Zhu Bai.
Hey, hey, why is this kid not acting according to common sense?
Duo'er only reacted after losing her knot. She was complaining in her heart and couldn't stop him, so she could only chase after him.
When I arrived, I was leisurely and leisurely, but when I returned, I felt like I was rushing.
When Zhu Bai arrived at the city gate, he did not go in. Instead, he continued to run around the city.
The guards at each city gate watched in amazement as they passed by like the wind.
After running to the southwest, Zhu Bai saw a group of people outside the city from a distance.
That's it.
Haha, Duo'er only led me to the Northeast City. Sure enough, it was because there was something outside the Southwest City that she didn't want me to see.
He smiled and moved closer.
It was a large circle formed by soldiers standing every one foot apart.
There are also soldiers on horseback patrolling the outer circle.
There are people in various national costumes selling various products in the circle, or walking around looking here and there.
This is obviously a temporary market!
Zhu Bai slowed down, jumped off the horse, handed the reins to Fugui, and leaned over with a smile.
Duo'er couldn't help but cursed in her heart: What a "little king of hell"! He couldn't relax for a moment, and he was finally discovered.
Zhu Bai stood next to the two merchants with great interest and watched them bargain and finally make a deal. The two took their belongings and walked out from the "doorway" surrounded by guards, and then each paid money to the guards before leaving.
Oh, this is to make money by collecting transaction taxes.
It's quite fun to play.
Zhu Bai suddenly realized it and laughed out loud.
Duo'er was so embarrassed that she followed Zhu Bai, not daring to express her anger.
Zhu Bai looked around and said, "Let's go back."
Duo'er just lost her mind and followed Zhu Bai silently with a determination to face death.
When he returned to the guardhouse, he stood and waited for Zhu Bai to scold him.
Zhu Bai smiled and said, "You are quite creative."
It’s really dark that both buyers and sellers are taxed.
Duoer only felt that her old face was as thick as the corner of a city wall, and she couldn't help but feel hot. She whispered: "There is no way, so many people need to eat."
Xiningwei's farmland can only grow barley, oats and wheat, with low yields and only one season a year.
Even 10% of the troops in the Huawei Institute may not be able to grow as much food as 10% of the troops in Jiangnan.
Xining City does not yet have a city wall, so the border guard station's requirement of "three points to defend the city and seven points to farm crops" mentioned by Lao Zhu cannot be realized in Xining.
He will allocate 60% of his troops to guard day and night, and then 40% of his troops to farm.
Sometimes when there is a good harvest, people come to rob it.
You will never be able to get enough just by farming.
But most of his soldiers were soldiers he brought from Mongolia.
When he complained about his poverty to the court, the officials in the court ignored him at all. They always felt that he wanted to defraud him of more military rations to support the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland.
He had to find another way.
Zhu Bai said: "Your method is very good. But after you collect the money, where are you going to buy food?"
Duo'er only sighed: "I can only go to Hezhou."
Ning Zheng from Hezhou City is his old boss.
Besides, if Xining fails, Hezhou will be in trouble, so Ning Zheng will help him if he can.
Zhu Bai smiled and said: "You don't have to go to so much trouble in the future. I want to build a Guan Ya Bureau in Hezhou. I came to Xining to see if I can build a Guan Ya Bureau in Xining, but the city wall of Xining is too short. Setting up the Guanya Bureau is just like putting it here for people to rob, which is too dangerous. So for the time being, I can only trouble Lord Duoer and lose the knot to go to the Hezhou Guanya Bureau to trade. The rules I will give you will be the same as Lord Ning. Except that The strategic materials strictly controlled by the imperial court cannot be brought in or out, but everything else can be traded freely. Whether it is blankets, cattle, sheep, gems, or books, iron, and weapons. I want them all."
Duo'er just lost her temper and looked surprised.
In other words, in the future, he can collect the goods himself and sell them directly to the Guanya Bureau and earn the price difference, instead of collecting taxes on several copper coins.
He originally thought that Zhu Bai would be furious, or at least scold him a few times.
Zhu Bai took the initiative to solve the problem for him.
Seeing his dull expression, Zhu Bai smiled and asked, "What do you think, sir?"
Duo'er just blinked and woke up like a dream, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, that's great. What can I do for Your Highness?"
He is not stupid and knows that transporting goods from here to the mainland requires manpower and money.
Zhu Bai has many ways to make money, and there is no need to earn such hard-earned money.
Zhu Bai smiled: "You don't have to do anything for me. Just guard the Xining Guard for Ming Dynasty. That's it. Besides, I also made a profit and did not suffer any loss."
In fact, what he said to Ning Zheng and Duo'er at the moment was different in details.
He didn't say a word about saving money to help Duoer get better weapons.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others.
As long as the city wall is repaired, the commander of Xining Guard will not be afraid of anyone who can do it.
Duo'er only lost her knot and stood up, knelt down on her left knee, put her right fist on her left shoulder, and saluted Zhu Bai: "Thank you for your highness's trust. Duo'er only lost her knot and had nothing to repay. She can only fight to defend Xining from generation to generation."
This is the way Mongolians salute their most distinguished guests, elders and superiors, second only to the kneeling salute to their ancestors and gods during sacrifices. It was far more sincere than the nod and bow when he first met Zhu Bai.
