Chapter 216: Undercurrents on the Prairie
Of course, the elders will not be able to do such a discrept behavior, but it is not surprising that one of the products exported to Mongolia, all kinds of comic books began to sell well on the grassland, of course, it is not a story that can be sold for money, but a variety of excellent spring palace pictures to bring "hot sales", in the warm and comfortable yurt, open a stack of rich picture albums, it is also a special enjoyment.
Here I would like to give special thanks to a series of famous painters of the island country, such as August Smoke, Yagami Hiroki, Kobayashi Takumi, a group of foreigners, without selfish motives, who regard the entertainment business of the Chinese people as their own career, what is the spirit? This is the spirit of unity and friendship between perverts and perverts, this is the spirit of salty and wet doctrine, and every salty and wet guy must learn this spirit!
cough cough cough, anyway, as part of the scheme, Wu Ming didn't think too much about the importance of discipline when he printed the book, in fact, all kinds of salty and wet books in the Ming Dynasty could not be extinguished, and even the royal own printing house, under the guise of independent operation, also wantonly earned funds, direct imitation, and there was no copyright system in this era, so it naturally made a lot of money, otherwise, why do you think so many books were burned and destroyed by Qianlong's Siku Quanshu, But those salty and wet books of the Ming Dynasty are enduring?
The fact is that there is no need to "poison", the people of the Ming Dynasty will never lag behind in the pursuit of spiritual enjoyment, and their lives are guaranteed.
Of course, this is also one of the many crooked policies, the true face of the future Ming Dynasty gradually appeared in front of many elders, people sighed, after being poisoned by "my Great Qing" for hundreds of years, it became that feudal and conservative era, it is really unthinkable that in a certain era, the Chinese were once so open, so that it can be said to be the ultimate in debauchery.
For our dear Empress Dowager Bumu Butai, naturally no one bothered her about these matters, and her troubles were much more realistic......
The reason is very simple, Wu Keshan has no money, he really has no money, even if he wants to support his sister's "restoration" cause, but in itself, Wu Keshan is not a good business or combat figure, basically similar to the Habsburg family's "ambition" to rule Europe by marriage, the rise of Horqin is definitely the "pouting" of a woman's buttocks, I won't repeat it here, before Horqin's capital chain mainly relied on the Jurchens as a big backer, on the business road, to help Shanxi imperial merchants resell a little benefit.
Usually can still nourish the life, the previous few times into the customs robbery, Wu Keshan, who has greatly received a share of the profits, does not have a long-term business thinking, does not pay attention to the long stream, and the behavior of buying a large number of luxury goods is also understandable, and the consistent practice, the Celestial Empire is not too disgusted with the export of silk and other "playthings" luxury goods, so Wu Keshan's previous days were quite moist.
However, since last year, the son sent to pick up the leak was severely scared by the elders in Shanhaiguan, and came back from a trip in vain, which is a serious economic suspension, not to mention this year, after the end of the eight imperial merchants, the channel for obtaining grain imports from Horqin was directly cut off, and the price of grain jumped directly up a level.
Although they are nomads, the city of Glejulgen is already a settled city, and it is of practical significance whether it is the demand for tea in the Celestial Empire or the demand for staple food to accompany various meals.
Of course, everyone has their own blind spots, and it may not be possible to understand too profound truths, just like the IQ of ordinary people, how can they understand that base station radiation does not cause cancer, wireless networks do not cause cancer, and no one has yet put the blame for the increase in food prices on Bumu Butai, who returned after marrying far away.
But Wu Keshan was fully aware that the Council of Elders had sent a message to Wu Keshan through some merchants and a courier from the Mongolian Belt and Road Party, asking him to hand over the woman Bumu Butai, and that they would promise not to harm her life, otherwise......
Of course, it seems that for several months, there has been no movement in the legendary spaceship, and people have gradually relaxed, and whether it is to maintain internal stability or family relations, it is impossible for him to be so frightened by a few words that he throws his sister out.
Correspondingly, those Jurchens who came to their sister can be said to be the elite of the Jurchens in terms of loyalty and ability value, at least the hard work of traveling thousands of miles has screened the soft and stupid.
In one of the houses, this was originally a warehouse, and after the grain was moved out, it was renovated and became the residence of a general's daughter of the Jurchen Eight Banners Han Army Banner.
The woman's father's surname is Kong, but he has been lost in Liaodong, life and death are unknown, and there is some news that he has been executed by the Han people, but at this turbulent moment, no one cares, the little woman is not very old, relying on the young age of the person, the family is shrewd, and under the support of hundreds of family members, after escaping, she came to Bumu Butai to defect here.
After Kong Sizhen arrived in this Geljurgen City, people are also obedient, although they eat mutton with mare's milk every day, meat and few vegetables, but after all, they also serve according to the identity of the master, and follow her to the family of Geljurgen City, none of them do not murmur and complain, fortunately, Kong Sizhen has a lot of money in her hands, and her family's family is also a Liao people who were originally born on Phi Island, and they can be regarded as loyal.
The little woman also has troubles, recently, there are a lot of Han merchants in the city of Geljurgen, it is said that there are a few descendants of the eight imperial merchants, and they can be regarded as dying for the Jurchens, Bumu Butai after swallowing the property of the eight imperial merchants, more or less returned some of them to them, plus some bold merchants, who came out to do small business when the spring flowers bloomed, can be regarded as bringing some Han flavor here.
"Eggs, eggs, delicious eggs, eggs that can't be missed!"
Kong Sizhen heard this shouting from a distance, and the wind and sand in the city of Geljurgen were strong, so the small traders walking the streets and alleys also shouted louder, especially the word "behemoth", which seemed to carry some magic power, so that Kong Sizhen couldn't help but have a solemn expression.
"Someone, call the guy who sells the eggs, and I'll buy something to eat."
How to say that it is also the eldest lady's faction, Kong Sizhen also has servants around her, but it is a maid brought from Liaodong, and the Mongolian maid arranged by Bumu Butai can only do the little things of cleaning and washing, this kind of private matter of the eldest lady to eat is naturally handled by her own people.
The person who sells the eggs is an old man, he can't tell his age, but at first glance, he runs outside all the year round, and the sun and cold give him the meaning of wind and frost, but he is quite clever.
"This eldest lady, you are eating eggs again today."
Kong Sizhen nodded and said, "Pick the biggest and best one for me and send it over." ”
The old man nodded, he carried the flat pole by himself, there were two tanks on both sides, it was very relaxed, and it was full of eggs, which was very authentic, and it was not easy in this grassland city.
A change egg was taken out, and the maid beside Kong Sizhen paid a republican Tongbao as usual, as the most exquisite and value-preserving currency in the north today, Mongolia, which has never had its own coinage industry, completely passively accepted this somewhat strange silver coin, but it seems that in terms of value preservation, it is very popular.
Money, in itself, is the world's greatest morality.
After cutting it, the crystal clear egg white was very attractive, Kong Sizhen looked at it and said: "That's it, your egg, Miss Ben will wrap it up today, and it happens to be almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and my family will also eat this." ”
This egg also has a history of a hundred years in the Celestial Empire, its other scientific name Songhua egg is the name of later generations, our Ming people just like to call the egg, but with the sky-high price of a republican Tongbao egg, this boss can be called a black heart, however, as the only person who sells eggs in the city of Glejurgen, he sells the eggs justifiably.
Of course, no one knows how much money Miss has, after all, Kong Youde is a person who has participated in the Eight Banners Robbery Group for many years, if the money in his hand falls into the hands of Miss, it is a lot of money, at this time, everyone has to get by, no one thinks too far, and there is no servant, what will the family say.
Eating eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival is actually the custom of people in some places in southern China, the north may prefer boiled eggs, which is more in line with Kong Sizhen's personal background, of course, this kind of moment, there is no meaning, really said the Dragon Boat Festival, in the prairie, where to buy leaves?
Seeing the old man leave, Kong Sizhen said: "These eggs should be one for each of our family, just let people come, let's eat them." ”
After Kong Sizhen gave the order, he sat there, and his subordinates were the most capable people around Kong Youde, and their obedience was also high, so they lined up one by one, taking eggs from the vat one by one, of course, naturally they would not forget, "Miss Xie reward." ”
This can be regarded as a good fate, Kong Sizhen got the impression from her father, if she wants to get the loyalty of her subordinates, it is useless to just give money, if you give too much money, you will become a hungry wolf that eats people, and you have to care about it every day in life, in fact, if you are not in such a place, give money to your subordinates, Kong Sizhen will also do it.
Everyone has received the eggs, holding something to eat, after all, this is also something from their homeland, and the rest of their lives don't know if there is a chance to return to their hometown and drink the water of their hometown, so many people are also quite solemn, put it away, and plan to eat it slowly.
"Let's all go down and rest, this jar will be cleaned up later."
When the old man sold something, he declared that the jar was given to Kong Sizhen, which can be regarded as a small trick to do business, this thing is not worth much in the customs, but it is very valuable in the grassland, and it can be regarded as a means to win favors, how tiring it is to take it home.
Kong Sizhen stood up and looked around, this was originally a warehouse renovated house, in fact, it may not be warm in winter, but it is very hot in summer, but under the wind and sand, it is better to live in the house, but the good thing is that no one can peep, she suddenly walked over, picked up the jar that originally contained the eggs, and took down a stack of well-pasted albums from the bottom.
Kong Sizhen is not very literate, and in order to avoid problems when delivering messages, he does not dare to use people to bring words, but fortunately, adhering to the wisdom of Lord Wei, the essence of drawing is also there.
The first picture is the solemn Kong Sizhen, talking to a few servants, and the second picture is the servants talking to a few people dressed as Mongolians.
The content of the speech is revealed, but it is a woman dressed as a Jurchen woman, holding a boy, with no one around, but many large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
Below, a group of men dressed as Mongols broke into the woman's side with knives and robbed her of her gold and silver.
In the last picture, a Mongol man is standing in front of a man dressed as Han Chinese, carrying the woman and the child, and the man is holding a handful of gold and silver, apparently trading with the Mongols.
It can't be simpler, and it can't be easier, in fact, Kong Sizhen understands the meaning of these pictures.
Sow discord.
The important thing is not how to spread, since the basic labor of human beings, they have begun to support countless idlers, these idlers do great hobbies, in this era, nothing more than basking in the sun against the root of the wall, plus chattering, of course, if you add a glass of wine, it may be better.
However, the biggest problem is how to protect the source of her information, once it is revealed, she can't say clearly, so the best way, according to what the gentle, but watertight man said when he left, at this time, find a white glove.
"Come on, put ...... Find it. ”
Kong Sizhen knew that she was very dangerous, due to the strange nature of the "mission", so there was no one around her who really knew what she was doing, and these family members only escorted her out in an "accident" situation.
The city of Grejurgen also has idlers.
Habatey is an old herdsman who has lost his herd, alone, and has no place to work, he has a hand in the craft of gelding, and he is here every day, although there are more people on the grassland who can gel than the dogs on the grassland, but with good craftsmanship, he can also mess around, but nine out of ten days are spent in a drunken state.
On this day, after getting drunk again, he stumbled back to his shack, in this cold north, drinking is a common thing, to keep out the cold, but every year you can see people who die because of drunkenness.
But between being half drunk and half awake, I felt something change around me, it turned out that someone was urinating next to him, and urine was even sprinkled on him!
Originally, he should have been furious, but for Bahatay, the following passage also made him sober up.
"Brother, have you heard, the matter of silver."
"You mean, then Wu Keshan's family, Bumu Butai, who went to be the queen of the Jurchens, heard that after coming back, she cried and begged us Bayan to restore her country, why?"
