Zhuo Temur came to President Wei again, I don't know if it was because of the drinking, or for what reason, I felt like a different person.

"Shizi, is there anything else?" Wei Bao saw that Zhuo Temur's face was not good, and he thought it was very strange, and the people who watched it felt a little numb.

"Sir, you said so much to me just now, but I still don't believe why you Han people are so kind, you just want to make gold through us, right?" Zottmur Road.

Wei Bao almost fainted when he heard this, he felt that there was a mallet in front of him, after saying so much, why didn't you understand?

"Shizi, this is a win-win situation, that is, something that is beneficial to both parties. We can make gold, and you can make gold. You can also win the war and get rid of the control of Jiannu! Isn't that enough? Wei Bao said: "Could it be that you didn't listen to what I just said so much?" ”

"What about you? What do you get? Why are you so kind to help us? Zhuotmur asked, "You Han people are too clever to do anything that is not beneficial." ”

"Isn't it easy to see our benefits? We can also make some gold, that's one thing. Second, we can fight against Jiannu through you and get peace in the region, Jiannu fights with you, and there will be no effort to take care of Liaodong in the future, isn't it good? Jiannu has to guard against you and us, where is there so much energy? All they have left is to live in fear. Wei Bao said: "You are our Han and Jiannu, just like you Mongolians, thinking about robbing others all day long, thinking about getting something for nothing?" You must have seen how the Han people in Kannai lived, right? Our peasants are content when they have land to cultivate, food to eat, and clothes to wear. And they rely on their own industrious hands, and never want to rob other people's property, can you understand this? Therefore, we Han people want peace, not war! ”

Zhuo Temur sighed, and said quietly: "I understand, I'm sorry to disturb the lord, I will retire." So saying, he went out.

Zhuotmur's behavior provoked Wu Xuexia to hide her coquettish smile.

Wei Bao also smiled, feeling that this guy had forgotten to take medicine.

Or are the people of the desert so upside down?

Wei Bao's heart was a little unsettled.

It seems that Zhuo Temur was persuaded by himself, but in fact, Wei Bao knew very well that Zhuo Temur was moved by the way of life of the Ming peasants he said!

Not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the ancient Han peasants were the most simple and diligent, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and living diligently.

Farming is all done by artificial animal power.

Loosening the soil depends on the plow, and the plow in our country was invented very early, and it seems that it was available in the Han Dynasty.

Sowing by cocoon, weeding with a hoe, hoeing day at noon, sweat drops into the soil.

There are two kinds of hoes, one is called a hoe commonly seen in paintings, and there is a hoe with a curved handle, which is used to plow the ground, both of which are used for weeding.

The hoe is suitable for weeding between seedlings, and the hoe is suitable for weeding between ridges, which are very tiring and inefficient, and it is great for a middle-aged person to hoe 3 acres of land a day.

The grass can grow a stubble in two or three days, and you can start from scratch after basically hoeing.

Harvest cereals and wheat with a sickle.

To harvest corn and sorghum, you need to use a hammer, and you have to cut the roots.

After harvesting, grains, beans, wheat, etc., should be pressed to thresh the seeds.

All kinds of farm work are physically and energetically demanding if they rely on human and animal power.

Farmers basically work together as a family, unless it is time to do no more.

In addition to planting their own land, people in ancient times also had to serve conscription and military service, and in peacetime, they had to dig rivers and ditches, build roads and build city walls for two or three months every year, and in wartime, they might also have to serve in the military, and they could not come back after dying outside.

Women also had to tie their feet, and the labor force was even lower.

The acres of land are basically dependent on the sky for food, and waterwheels and the like are used only where there is water in the paddy fields in the south, and there is no water anywhere in the great north, and it is useless to have waterwheels.

There are more ditches and ponds between the acres, although it is in the plain, there is a certain amount of height and lowness between the acres, and the water is poured with a scoop of artificial water.

The grain yield is also very low, on the one hand, there is a shortage of water and fertilizer, and on the other hand, natural disasters and pests.

In ancient times, farmers were really busy just to maintain food and clothing, and it was already a blessing to be alive.

Men work in the stars and moons, and women do the same, in addition to farming, they also have to take care of their families, spin and weave cloth to make clothes, shoes and socks.

Farming by oneself may not have given the landlord a comfortable life, because farming for the landlord does not require him to raise livestock and buy tools, as long as he goes to work at a fixed point like going to work, and the women at home are also a lot more leisurely.

But working for the landlord is like going to work, stable, but the salary is relatively dead, there is no future, the risk of farming by yourself is high, and the income is more, so there are many people who also plant some land and work for the landlord at the same time.

According to Wei Bao's understanding, landlords are not like the film and television dramas of later generations, they are all fat and fat, and they live by exploitation alone, and most of the landlords in ancient times also had to work in the fields by themselves, and there are no maids like the current dramas at home, so they can't afford to use them.

Even in the areas under the rule of the Tiandihui, which developed steadily and abolished all kinds of agricultural taxes, the common people, especially the peasants, still lived in a tight grip, and there was not enough food to eat.

After the introduction of corn, sweet potatoes, carrots, and other things, life was slightly better than before, and what life was like before the introduction of these high-yield crops, Wei Bao sometimes really hard to think.

Wei Bao inherited the memory of the original Wei Bao, but Wei Bao rarely recalled the events before he was reborn, which would be very painful.

And Wei Bao felt that it was not helpful to him, the original Wei Bao was a young man in the township, with no culture and no experience, and only lived in a small radius of a few miles, if he was not reborn, the original Wei Bao had not even been to Shanhaiguan.

However, in ancient times, it was not completely without advantages, that is, the land was vast and sparsely populated, as long as you were diligent and willing to reclaim wasteland and grow a variety of crops, you could live a good life.

However, it is necessary to prevent robbery and theft, and it is necessary to prevent the Jiannu and the Mongols from fighting at any time.

Especially in ancient times, there was no contraception, and children were born one by one, even if they died for various reasons, women could not work in the fields, and they had to provide food rations for children.

As a result, some women who have many children have to rely on stealing to raise their children.

With a basic understanding of the lives of Han Chinese peasants, Wei Bao believed that the Mongols would make their own choices and not have to worry about him running to Mongolia to enslave them.

Wei Bao's request is very simple, the Mongols are self-reliant, get rid of the shackles of Jiannu, do not act as accomplices, and be friendly to the Han people, and it is OK.

Three days later, Zhuo Temur really took his weapons and was successfully sent to the designated location of Xiaoling River by the sailors of the Bao Army.

Zorictu personally brought more than 2,000 iron horsemen to meet his son.

"Father!" Drorictu burst into tears.

Zhuo Li Ketu was also in tears, he didn't expect to see his son, and thought that Wei Bao would definitely escort his son to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and hand it over to the emperor.

Having brought the sheep from the steppe, the daughter of Zoriktu and the sister of Zortmul, Ulantu Yaqige, also burst into tears and called out to her brother.

Then the three of them hugged each other in tears.

Zottemur had returned in secret, so at most he would stay here for one night, and the next day he would have to send Trothmur back to the steppe tribe with his weapons.

Drorictu already had a rough idea of the agreement between Trotemur and the Treasure Army, otherwise he would not have met him at the agreed place in advance.

Therefore, Driktu also knew about the fact that Drotmut had brought back a batch of weapons from the treasure army.

Regarding whether to buy the weapons of the Bao Army, whether to move closer to the Bao Army and the Heaven and Earth Society, and rely on this to get rid of the control of Jiannu, on this point, Zhuo Li Ketu and Zhuo Temur have similar ideas.

Zhuo Temur has a good memory, and recounted the conversation with Wei Bao to his father, and at this time, Zhuo Temur was already inclined to Wei Bao's way of thinking, feeling that cooperating with the Heaven and Earth Society would have more advantages than disadvantages, and the worst way was to be known by Jiannu that they were cooperating with the Heaven and Earth Society, and then defeated by Jiannu, at most, the entire tribe would move south together to seek Wei Bao's protection in Liaodong.

"Since you've thought about it and brought everything back, I think that's it, I'll gather 67,000 taels of gold and hand it over to Wei Bao's people as soon as possible." Zhuo Li Ketu said: "I don't think firearms are bad, I have seen the power of firearms, I am afraid that if the warriors of our tribe are accustomed to firearms, we will abandon the bow and arrow archery skills, and will rely on the treasure army. Actually, there is not much difference. At least, if we go to Liaodong and attach ourselves to the Bao Army, we will leave our homeland, and we will have to live like the Han people in the future. ”

"Father, I've thought about all of this. That's the worst way to go! I believe that we rely on the advantage of firearms, and after we turn against the golden people, they have nothing to do with us! Moreover, we were only a small group of people using firearms, and I only bought twenty guns in total! Not everyone uses the guns of the treasure army, how can they discard our bow and arrow archery? We can increase the amount at any time, and we can do without guns at any time! Zhuo Temur said: "The decision is in our own hands!" Besides, if we use firearms with good results and win the war against Jiannu, so that Lin Dan Khan and Horqin's people want to buy it, we can still resell it and earn gold! ”

Zortmul said and showed the long-term subscription agreement to Zorictu.

Zhuo Liktu smiled and nodded, "You have been captured by the treasure army for a few days, and you have become able to speak, it seems that the Han people are indeed cunning, and they have turned the honest cattle on the grassland into cunning wolves." ”

"Father, why do you say that about me? I'm not talking for Baojun, I'm not talking for Wei Bao, if my father sees Wei Bao, he will definitely believe everything I say. Although Wei Bao was only fifteen years old, the same age as Ulan Tuyaqiqige, I was like a child in front of him, and he was like a wise elder. Moreover, Wei Bao treats people very sincerely, and speaks a little roughly, much like the people on our prairie, not like the Han officials I have come into contact with in the past. Wei Bao is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and he is already a high-ranking official of the first grade! It is rare to be so humble and courteous to others. "Drotmurdo.

"Brother, you have never praised a person so much, that Wei Bao is as big as me? Is he already a high-ranking official of the Han people? So how does he look? Ulan Tuya Qiqige asked curiously.

"Wei Bao is a lord, I said that he is a high-ranking official of Yipin, I am afraid that you will not know, in fact, the lord of Daming has no official rank, he has a higher official position than Yipin, which means that he is already a relative of the emperor." Zhuo Temur said: "As for Wei Baochang, he is like an eagle in the sky, like a horse on the grassland, I have never seen such a handsome young man. ”

"Is it as good as you say? Then I'd like to meet this Webo. Ulan Tuyaqige laughed.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Zhuo Liktu touched his beard, "Such a small thing costs sixty or seventy thousand taels of gold, and the gold of all the elders of our clan together does not necessarily have one million taels of gold!" Firearms are so expensive, how many times can we use them? And if we really form an alliance with Wei Bao, we are completely different from their way of life, they are farming life, we are nomadic, at this point, we are very close to the Jin people, if there is any dispute, the Jin people are more likely to understand what we want, understand our hardships. ”

"Father, there is no need to worry about this, it is precisely because we have a different way of life from the Han people that they will not interfere with us!" Zhuo Temur said: "The Jin people want to get our pastures and want us to be their slaves, but the Han people will not!" ”

"These are all unreliable, if you want not to be deceived by the Han people in the future, there is only one way! I have suffered many losses from the Han people. Zorictu said.

"What's the solution?" Drottmur asked.

"Unless Wei Bao can marry your sister Ulan Tuyaqige!" Zorictu looked at his beloved little daughter.

"Father, I won't marry a Han Chinese!" Ulan Tuyaqiqige looked at his father in shock, "They look down on us Mongolians, and Mongolian women who marry Han Chinese will not be happy." ”

"Who said that? Are we married less of the Jins? Didn't those tribes in the Horqin Grassland become strong by marrying the Jin people? Zhuo Liktu said: "The Han people are the most knowledgeable about etiquette and law, and they will not buy and sell women like buying and selling livestock, they are all very good to their own women." If you marry Wei Bao, I won't be worried, I'm just afraid that as you said, Wei Bao looks down on us Mongolians and may not be willing to marry you. ”

"He won't marry me, I won't marry him, what's so great about him?" After Ulan Tuyaqige finished speaking arrogantly, he asked Zhuo Temur: "Wei Bao seems to have already been married, and they Han people have been married very early, not to mention that Wei Bao is your noble status." ”

"I heard that they are married, and the main wife is the daughter of the Duke of Daming. I heard that the birth is as beautiful as a fairy, but I haven't seen it. "I saw Wei Bao's second wife, and she was also very beautiful, and there was no such beauty on the grassland. ”

"Is it prettier than me?" Ulan Tu Yaqiqi asked unconvinced. She is not only called the first beauty of the steppe by the people of Inner Khalkha, but also by many other tribes.

Of course, there are standards for this kind of beauty, and on Lin Dan Khan's side, people called Lin Dan Khan's Bade Onyx Birch Fujin the first beauty of the grassland, and later after Lin Dan Khan's death, she remarried Huang Taiji.

There are also people who call Horqin's Hai Lanzhu, that is, Da Yuer's sister, the first beauty of the grassland, and later married Huang Taiji.

Both women are two of the five houses of Chongde.

In terms of the degree of favor in Huang Taiji, Hai Lanzhu is the first.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that Huang Taiji's favorite is the most beautiful.

Anyway, after Wei Bao saw the famous Da Yu'er in history, he thought it was okay.

Maybe Da Yu'er is a big beauty on the side of Mongolia and Jiannu, but on Wei Bao's side, that is, the level of maids, and even among President Wei's large number of beautiful secretaries, they are all at the bottom.

"Honestly, much prettier than you." Zhuo Temur said truthfully, "Outside the gate, she is definitely the first beauty!" ”

"Hmph, no way!" Ulan Tuyaqiqige was angry.

Zhuo Liktu didn't care much about his appearance, and said with a slight smile: "The women on our grassland have a unique beauty, and the Han women don't blow the wind or bask in the sun, and their skin is generally fair, but they lack our enthusiasm. Moreover, Ulan Tuya Qiqige has delicate skin and a generous personality, which may not be in Wei Bao's eyes. Besides, as far as the weight of our Inner Khalkha on the grassland, as long as Wei Bao is willing to marry Ulan Tuyaqige, I believe that Wei Bao will definitely be good to you. ”

"Don't marry, don't marry, father, I don't want to marry a Han! There is nothing remarkable about the Han people! Ulan Tu Yaqige was still not angry, although it was her brother who made her angry, but the proud Ulan Tu Yaqiqi Ge counted the account on Wei Bao's head.

The next day, Drotmur returned to Nekharkha with a few hundred cavalry and a small batch of weapons obtained from Wei Bao.

They returned quietly, with the return of food from the Inner Khalkhas, unnoticed.

Drotmur began his plan to train musketeers, with the exception of a few grenades and mines.

The rest, rifles and rifle cartridges, were used on a team of a hundred musketeers.

Although there were only twenty rifles, Trotmur considered that it was possible to increase the number of musketeers in the future, so several people shared a gun for training.

Even Drotmul himself became a member of this team, also receiving training from instructors sent by the Treasure Army.

Of course, the instructors of the Baojun only teach the skills of using weapons, and do not transfer the military system and training methods of the Baojun.

Zhuo Temur also looked down on the military system and training of the treasure army, let alone the clothing of the treasure army.

Habits are one thing that is difficult to change, President Wei established the army with a modern military system, and the ancient people definitely couldn't accept it.

Especially in the system of political and educational personnel, even if others want to learn, they can't learn it.

Because in the world, only heaven and earth will be the power group with the political foundation.

The other forces were all feudal serf forces.
