Huang Taiji was surprised and said: "Wool? Why did Ming Dynasty harvest wool?"
Bu He smiled and said, "What can we do? Of course we are making clothes. Haven't you noticed that what we wear is much lighter than before?"
Only then did Huang Taiji realize that Bu He and his son were indeed much more lightly dressed than him. He had just thought that it was because they could warm themselves by the fire in the yurt.
Wu Keshan unbuttoned his coat, revealing the sweater underneath, and said, "This sweater is very close-fitting and warm. It's really good!"
Huang Taiji said: "The Ming people collect our wool, spin it into woolen sweaters and sell it to us. Aren't we losing money?"
Buhe laughed loudly and said: "It's not a loss! Our previous sheepskin jackets were always prone to shedding and pilling. They were not very good at keeping warm and beautiful, and they also smelled bad. Mingren's skills were indeed extraordinary. After they weaved them, That's good.
Their price for harvesting wool is fair and the price is very good. The price of the woolen sweaters they sell to us is also very suitable. Zhuer calculated that even if we spin our own textiles, even if we can have the same quality as Daming, the total price will be much higher. ! Might as well buy it! "
"Zhu'er said that she calculated that the Ming Dynasty might have added a little labor cost, so we didn't lose money. After selling the wool, we could also exchange it for grain, refined salt, iron pots, and tea! They also took our cattle and horses. The price is also very good, so all races can have a comfortable winter this year!”
The more Huang Taiji listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.
He couldn't help but say: "As a result, the ministries will definitely reduce the number of cattle and horses in the future. This is a treacherous plan of the Ming Dynasty!"
Bu He smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is Mingren's plan, and it is an upright plan, but what can we do? The sheep raised by the herdsmen can be used to exchange wool for supplies on weekdays, and the sheep can be sold in the future Son, even if I am the leader of a clan, I cannot stop such a good thing! The reason is that the Ming Dynasty seems to be strong again!"
Wu Keshan interrupted and said: "A few days ago, Winter from Tumut's tribe led five thousand warriors and wanted to enter Zhangjiakou to grab a piece of Four Belles. Can you imagine it? Zhangjiakou sent a thousand soldiers and horses, or infantry. , arrayed outside Zhangjiakou Fort."
"With one to five, the Wentel tribe was defeated with just the fire blunderbuss in their hands, and the Ming army did not hurt anyone. The five thousand men of the Wenter tribe lost more than a thousand, and injured more than two thousand. Just these two thousand Many people were released after treatment by the Ming army, and they said that if such a thing happens again in the future, they will be killed without mercy! After this incident, no one has such an idea anymore, and the Ming Dynasty trades with each other in a regular manner, we What more luxury can there be?”
Huang Taiji took a sip of the kumiss and felt the bitterness in his mouth became even worse.
Huang Taiji retorted: "If Mongolian tribes have become accustomed to losing their war horses in the future, will the Ming Dynasty still act so fairly? For thousands of years, our tribe has been suffering whenever the Han court is strong. Is it true that the clan leader Forgot? How powerful the Golden Family was back then, but when the Ming Dynasty became strong, all the Mongolian tribes were almost destroyed by the Ming Dynasty!"
"Although the Ming Dynasty seems very powerful now, I, Dajin, have risen from the white mountains and black waters. Over the years, I have won almost every battle and occupied more and more Ming people's land and population! If the Mongolian Ministry and I, Dajin, join hands , a two-pronged approach, the Ming Dynasty focused on one thing and lost the other, can the Ming Dynasty still exist?"
Bu He nodded: "That's true, but although Lin Dan Khan is the co-leader of all the ministries, his strength cannot surpass all the ministries. Our Mongolian ministries are now in separate formations. If there is really a hero who can unify all the Mongolian ministries, the Ming Dynasty will naturally not He will be my Mongolian opponent, and now... don’t mention it, Sibeile is a guest from afar, I will host a banquet, let’s have a good drink!”
Huang Taiji sighed secretly.
Horqin Buhe does not have this ambition, and Lin Danhan is not such a hero either!
If we can unify Mongolia.
Huang Taiji's eyes flashed when he thought of this!
This dream really started to be realized when he was Huang Taiji. Of course, in this time and space, he had this idea, but he may not have the opportunity and strength.
At that moment, Bu He set up a banquet.
When snow-white salt, shiny white meat cleavers, iron pots and other utensils appeared at the banquet, Huang Taiji's mood worsened again. He drank heavily and listened to Bu and the others praising these things. , he felt a deep sense of powerlessness!
But I heard Hai Dongzhu (also known as Hai Lanzhu) say: "Abu (father), I heard from people in the Ming Dynasty that there was an immortal named Huang Xiao in the Ming Dynasty. Do you think there really is an immortal?"
Buhe smiled lovingly: "Perhaps Mingren is boasting. How can there be immortals in this world?"
Hai Dongzhu shook his head and said: "No, the play told by the Zhangjiakou Opera Troupe is called The Legend of the Ming Dynasty. My daughter went to see it once, and it told the story of a Han virtuous minister named Huang Xiao. Now we can use such a cost-effective The reason why Price traded with Ming Dynasty was because of this wise minister. The drama that day was about last month when Taizu showed his sage, and I returned to the tribe. I wonder what happened to Huang Xiao later?"
As she spoke, she looked at Huang Taiji and asked: "Sibeile, someone secretly shot Huang Xiao with an arrow in the play. Everyone thought it was someone assigned by the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei commander, but I thought it was someone sent by Dajin." Yes, yes?"
Originally, it should be a very happy thing for the beauty to ask, but Hai Dongzhu's question made Huang Taiji feel like he had eaten a fly.
Bu He scolded: "Zhu'er, don't be rude. How can the things in the play be taken seriously?"
Hae Dongzhu said unconvinced: "Why can't we take it seriously? The play says that Huang Xiao wrote a book called The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Don't you also like to read it? In this book, he treats me Genghis Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, also has many praises. Even the protagonist Guo Jing was born and raised in the desert. If Guo Jing was not Han Chinese and was seduced by Huang Rong, a witch, he might have actually become my Mongolian prince-in-law with a golden sword. If this is the case, Mongolia will definitely be strong and prosperous!"
She paused and said: "Whether Huang Xiao is an immortal or not, he should have no ill intentions towards our Mongolian department, otherwise he would not write about our Mongolian affairs in such detail in his book, and I heard that he is only in his second year of life this year. He is ten years old, but he has never been to Mongolia, so how can he write about the desert scenery and humanistic accidents?"
"He is so kind and powerful, but he has set trading rules that are so beneficial to all my ministries. I must meet him if I have the chance."
Huang Taiji felt bitter again.
He took a swig of wine.
Bu He glanced at his eldest daughter, and his heart moved slightly.
The Horqin tribe was sandwiched between Lin Danhan, Ming Dynasty, and Da Jin, and was destined to rely on the strong. In the past, his father married his younger sister Zhezhe to Huang Taiji. Later, after Da Jin captured Shengjing, he gave his daughter away. However, Do you just think Daikin is very powerful?
Now in the Ming Dynasty...if this wise minister is really as described in the play, why not be a good backer?
