"Bayan, if this is just the case, then let's not talk about it. I happen to be quite busy right now. Winter is about to come. If you send some cattle, sheep and horses over.
I will remember your favor, but if not, please return it! "
Zhao Ming made a gesture of invitation without any hesitation.
Having said that, Bayan's old face had already darkened. Not to mention that he was as tall and strong as a bear. Zhao Ming was really worried that the other party would pounce on him and hit him without saying a word.
"Is it possible that Chief Zhao is really going to do this? Is there no room for redemption?" Bayan said coldly with a stern face.
"Did I not speak clearly enough?"
Zhao Ming spoke calmly again.
This is nothing to him. If this was some old official, he probably wouldn't have a good face from the beginning.
Many people in later generations who have never been out of society are very repulsive, resistant and even look down upon those who enter the system. Of course, the ordinary grassroots must be ordinary.
But those who have the support of connections and can climb to a position, no matter how big or small the position is, that is power.
The reason why many older generations prefer their children to be in the system is because they care about the qualifications for a class jump.
The grassroots level is not good, but with a certain amount of power at the grassroots level, people can do whatever they say. Although they still do not have the capital to make a class jump, power is far more real than money.
And if the position is higher and reaches a certain level, in the eyes of the bosses at those levels, there is no difference between businessmen and ordinary people.
If a businessman wants to marry a big boss of this level, he will definitely be more submissive than what is shown in the TV series.
The more money you make, the more you have to grovel. It doesn’t mean that you have nothing to fear if you make money cleanly. Unless you are in a high-tech or technology industry, you are in the service industry. In the service industry, you have to open up relationships with your superiors and subordinates. .
It doesn't matter, it's easy for the one above to choke you.
Therefore, Zhao Ming never underestimates his own banner, nor does he underestimate himself.
It's just that this Bayan can't give too much.
Of course, winning over such a cavalry can make a profit in a short time.
But if Zhao Ming just put the Chahar tribe in his pocket, then Zhao Ming would agree.
But if it was just like that, why would Zhao Ming still be bothered? Just stay here for a few years and just go with the flow when the situation changes, and don't think about climbing up.
To put it bluntly, the interests are still unequal, and Bayan cannot give Zhao Ming what he wants.
Firstly, he didn’t give much, and secondly, this old boy had a wrong attitude.
"Well, Chief Zhao, I've been nagging today. It seems like Chief Zhao doesn't need my help. I'm too busy."
Bayan stood up immediately as he spoke. There was not much anger on his face, but before leaving, he turned to look at Zhao Ming and said with a faint smile,
"Sir Zhao, I want to remind you that the Maoming'an Department is suppressed by the old fox Beishan, so everything will be fine for the time being.
But other tribes can't say for sure. It's better for Chief Zhao to go out less often recently, otherwise... there are many accidents in this prairie. "
After leaving these meaningful words, Bayan had already walked out of the room, and then heard a dense sound of horse hooves outside, which gradually disappeared from near to far.
Looking at Bayan's group of people walking away, Zhao Ming looked calm.
"Mr. Zhao, what were we talking about just now? I think this Bayan tribe is quite enthusiastic." Monkey smiled and came over.
Zhao Ming glanced at the other party, but instead avoided the topic and said calmly, "Where is Batu?"
"Batu, oh, I'll call him right now."
After a while, the monkey called Batu over who was drinking in the distance.
This guide seemed to like drinking very much. He looked like a drunkard all day long, with a big red nose, red cheeks, and sloppy hair. When he looked at Zhao Ming, he still looked sleepy.
"Batu, is there any way you can help me go back..."
Zhao Ming paused as he spoke. His original intention was to ask if he could ask for some reinforcements from Shangfeng.
But after thinking about it, nothing happened now. If he made such a fuss, the superiors would not agree and would not say anything. They would also think that he is incompetent and disadvantageous.
"Brother Batu, I wonder if you have any familiar business friends and can you get some hot goods?"
Zhao Mingyi had something to say, and Batu became energetic as soon as he heard this.
"My friend! Are you going to buy a gun?"
Batu is not an official or clerk, he is just an errand boy. He usually does some unscrupulous things in the city, and occasionally helps some merchants from the south to source goods. He has a wide network of contacts.
Without waiting for Zhao Ming to answer, he thought to himself, "Guns are easy to get, and the price is reasonable, but it's not cheap to get them, and it's not cheap to transport them here. Do you need them?"
"How long? How long will it take to deliver it?" Zhao Ming asked.
He actually has a gun! Since he was heading north to this unfamiliar prairie, Zhao Ming would not be so stupid as to take nothing with him.
But it's only fifty strokes. If there are more, the staff here will be able to tell at a glance.
He knew that this was not Marshal Feng's territory after all.
"If it's two hundred guns, it can be delivered within ten days, and if it's ten guns, it can be delivered in three days."
"Then prepare two hundred and fifty guns with two thousand five hundred rounds. Can they be delivered in half a month?"
"Okay! But my friend, I can see that you are in quite a lot of trouble.
I think you should be more careful recently. On the contrary, you will be relatively safer after the gun is delivered. You have to know that there are no secrets on the grassland. "
Batu's words made Zhao Ming think deeply. Batu seemed to know a lot of secrets.
But looking at the other party's posture, most of the questions are in vain.
After sending Batu away and asking a few brothers to follow him, Zhao Ming continued to organize the brothers to expand the camp.
At the same time, preparations for winter have to be made. I heard from Lao Sun that the weather this year is a bit special. It is estimated that there will be a heavy snowfall in mid-October. If you are not prepared, you may freeze to death.
Since it was a local's suggestion, Zhao Ming naturally followed it seriously and asked people to find some dry firewood and pick up scattered dry dung for hoarding for the winter.
On the tenth day after arriving in the grassland, Zhao Ming and most of the people here had already clearly defined their division of labor.
Dozens of people are grazing cattle, dozens of people are expanding their houses, dozens of people are picking up materials for the winter, and some are responsible for patrolling.
Now they have hundreds of herds here through purchasing cattle, sheep and horses from Maoming'an Department, and they will continue to purchase some from Maoming'an Department.
In addition to eating, the herd number is always maintained at one hundred.
At the same time, fodder is stored to prepare for the winter to feed these herds.
Zhao Ming also plans to continue to expand the herd. After all, they have 300 people and a herd of 100 heads, plus the cow and goat milk produced during the winter, as well as the dried beef and mutton that have been dried recently. They can barely survive the winter, but it is estimated that It will still be miserable.
He has no intention of treating his brothers badly.
In addition to purchasing a batch of livestock, the current grazing area also needs to be changed, and grazing can only be done in farther and more peripheral places.
After all, there are Pingqiantun, Maoming'an and Dalhan tribe next to it.
The brothers were a little reluctant, but Zhao Ming had given instructions, so everyone had no choice but to obey.
