Chapter 9 Builders, Destroyers
Yun Zhao's life is extremely fulfilling.
Life is full of exciting elements, and the brain is in a state of tension all the time.
If only that's it.
But in order to live, I have to divide myself into countless clouds.
When facing people like Hong Chengchou, it is a cold bureaucrat Yun Zhao who is talking, and it is necessary to speak airtightly.
When facing Yun Niang, Yun Zhao must try to remember what he was like when he was a child, and then accept Huan's knees and entertain his relatives in colorful clothes.
When facing Yun Fu, Yun Meng, and Yun Xiao, Yun Zhao must take out all his spirit to play the role of Yun Zhao, a big leader who lifts weights and solves any difficulties with laughter.
In the face of Yun Yang, when Qian Shaoshao was a worker, Yun Zhao became that sunny, open-minded, and somewhat despicable college era again.
Sometimes, you can play the role that you have to play for a lifetime in one day, and the sourness of this will never be forgotten.
From the beginning of jerky, gradually to the current smooth operation, sometimes Yun Zhao will forget his actual age, every time before falling asleep, he has to figure out his identity so that he can sleep peacefully.
Therefore, this kind of Yun Zhao gives others the feeling of being a mystery, although Yun Zhao thinks that only deranged patients can do this, but he still has some enjoyment.
The grasslands in autumn are abundant, not only the cattle and sheep grow fat, but even the mushrooms in the fields are white and tender.
Mushrooms are abundant here.
As the name suggests, the mushroom refers to the mushroom outside Zhangjiakou, which is the general name of more than a dozen kinds of grassland mushrooms, of course, the most valuable, the mushroom that can really be called the mushroom, is the grassland white mushroom.
After a thunderstorm, all kinds of mushrooms break through the soil on the autumn grassland.
At this time, men and women on the grassland will go into the grassland to look for this precious food, of course, this is also a special local product of the grassland, and the price is very expensive.
When the Ming Dynasty was still strong, this thing was a tribute, and now, as the Ming imperial power gradually became declining, this thing has become a novel commodity.
In Daming, Yun Zhao was unwilling to destroy the local economic situation everywhere he went, and even tried to find a way to make the trade in this place active.
Outside the region, Yun Zhao prefers to focus on the local economy, unless the economic situation here can be controlled by him.
Mushrooms are an important source of income for herders in this area, accounting for about 20% of their annual income.
Compared with cattle and sheep, whose prices were affected by the war, the price of mushrooms, which are light and easy to carry, has been very stable, and the price of mushrooms will even grow wildly when affected by the war.
The price of mushrooms has been affected this year, and the reason is the war that Yun Zhao launched against the Kru Ministry.
The owner of the ship, Krubu, has now gone to the foot of Yin Mountain, and Duoyanbu has replaced it as the new source of mushroom goods.
Yun Zhao and Qian Shaoshao rode into the grassland to pick mushrooms before dawn.
They were accompanied not only by guards, but also by Mongolian women, children, and idle herdsmen.
A large crowd of people sprinkled into the grassland and quickly disappeared.
For work, Yun Zhao is not good at it, but Qian Shaoshao seems to be very good at it, when the sun rises, he counts the most mushrooms in his basket, and most of them are white mushrooms.
Yun Zhao didn't have much impression of the white mushroom except that he liked to eat it, but as the real leader of the Duoyan Clan, he had to understand the living conditions of his subordinates.
This is something that must be understood, and it is necessary for a good leader to work.
The grassland in early autumn is a beautiful picture.
Whether it is autumn grass, cattle and sheep, or people, they are all the contents of this picture.
If possible, Yun Zhao would like to remove the herdsmen in rotten leather jackets from this picture.
This is not their fault, nor is it that Yun Zhao is biased, but because these people are incompatible with this painting, and from them, Yun Zhao cannot see a positive mental outlook, only the thick word 'poverty' can be seen from them.
If it's just poverty, it's not a big problem, when these people don't even have the joy of harvesting, then the problem is so big that even the most basic aesthetic composition factors don't exist.
They are like a group of zombies roaming the grassland, and even the vitality of the grassland is deprived by them.
Poverty is a norm for people in the Ming world.
There is no scene of singing and dancing to the guests in full costume and holding mare's milk wine, there is no fierce man shaking his hands and feet sumo, and there is no horse-riding boy style sweeping over the grassland, leaning over to pick one in the most beautiful place of Gesang flowers, and throw it to the most beautiful girl in the crowd.
What does this mean?
Yun Zhao knew, which meant that these shepherds were not optimistic about their future, and at present, they just had no way to stay in Duoyanbu temporarily.
"Let these people come alive!"
Yun Zhao walked a long way to find two mushrooms, and his tone was a little tough.
Qian Shaoshao said: "The easiest way to come alive immediately is to let the cloud shopkeeper increase the purchase price of the mushrooms, and the way to make them alive in the long run is to take them to rob." ’
"Are they willing to rob?"
"Yes, if the young master doesn't take them to rob, they will be disappointed."
"Then hurry up, those who should go to pick mushrooms will go to pick mushrooms, and those who should go to rob will take them to rob, and it will soon be time outside the exit of Zhangjiakou merchants, these people must take care of it, we are very short of materials now, if we can't rob some more materials, I'm afraid the cloud shopkeeper will stop trading."
Qian Shaoshao grabbed his hair and said: "The merchants of Zhangjiakou are no longer sporadically exporting now, I heard that they are ready to gather together to form a huge caravan to export together." ”
"Then tell the housekeeper of Hong Chengchou's family that we need this batch of goods in exchange for meat, fur, and beef tendon with the herdsmen who are about to start winter slaughter.
We also need a large number of mushrooms for the caravan to take to the southeast and open the southeast market. ”
Qian Shaoshao said with some concern: "Young master, do you really think it is feasible for northern goods to go south?" ”
Yun Zhao said: "As long as there is something that is not available in the south, the south needs it, especially high-value furs." ”
"It's not cold in the south!"
Yun Zhao glanced at Qian Shaoshao and said, "When you were in Yangzhou, didn't you feel cold?" Do you really think that it doesn't snow in places like Yangzhou? Do you really think that there is no need for fur clothes in the winter in Suzhou and Hangzhou? ”
"Young master, if we rob Zhangjiakou, we will have no caravans to rob in the future, and if we rob the surrounding princes, they will hide in Yinshan Ranch, and after a long time, there will be no one around Duoyanbu."
Yun Zhao shook his head with a smile and said: "Shaoshao, you forgot one thing, Battellmerlin is a rogue after all, a horse thief, the grassland is so big, the rogue, the horse thief is the wolves on the grassland, wherever the cattle and sheep go, there is the rogue and the hunting ground of the horse thief."
While Jiannu has not yet had the strength to deal with us, during this period of time, we can eat as much fat as we can, and we can coerce as many herdsmen as we can, and I want to make the whole grassland move, so that we can have a greater chance. ”
"Understaffed! I can't finish the young master's plan. ”
Yun Zhao turned his back and said softly: "Some people are just used to consume, there is a lack of everything in this world, but there is no shortage of people." ”
Qian Shaoshao agreed, and continued to go mushroom picking, such an activity was a rare leisure time for both him and Yun Zhao.
Destroy other people's pastures, kill other people's cattle and sheep, cut off other people's livelihoods, take the first batch of loot out of the grassland, and send it to the distant Lantian County.
Then with these herdsmen who have no way out, they continue to rob others, destroy other people's pastures, kill other people's cattle and sheep, as their own trophies, until there are no cattle and sheep on the western grassland, and no tribes can be seen, Yun Zhao can naturally take these people to the more prosperous eastern pastures, and even the hunting grounds of Jiannu.
These things can be done, but they can't be said, Yun Zhao can only say one thing to these herdsmen, that is, divide the grassland equally, and every herdsman has his own pasture!
This goal may or may not be achieved, but Yun Zhao's goal of weakening Mongolia and restraining Jiannu will definitely be achieved.
Picking mushrooms on the grassland was not as easy as Yun Zhao expected, in fact, as long as it was work, it was not easy, and it was a very poetic job, which made Yun Zhao exhausted.
