Chapter 313: A dignified, heart-warming scheme

"Fair exchange?"

What are you kidding, not to mention that Battle doesn't believe it, and none of the leaders and elders of the other thirty or so tribes want to believe it.

At this time, they looked at Camp Commander Hu's eyes, faintly full of contempt, and a kind of anger that seemed to be looking at a liar.

??? The prairie has always been barren, and the only specialty, or to put it bluntly, is sheep, cattle, and horses.

Therefore, the most indispensable thing on the grassland is cattle and sheep, and when the number is large, these animals cannot afford to buy them at all.

In fact, they don't know that this is still a problem of transportation, and until there is no effective means of transportation, materials in remote areas, far from waterways, cannot be fully utilized.

What's more, in the steppes of the northern region, once it is an extremely cold winter, there is a lack of fodder, cattle, sheep and even war horses, there will inevitably be large-scale deaths.

Therefore, all the tribes on the grassland will start slaughtering livestock at the end of autumn, and most of the cattle and sheep will be slaughtered.

At that time, the beef and mutton on the grassland, as well as in the nearby areas of Daming, Houjin and other places, could not be sold at a price, and it was even cheaper than Chinese cabbage.

Wearing leather clothes, drinking cow and horse milk, and eating mutton are the way of life of the herders in the Mongolian steppe year after year.

In their opinion, what can they trade with the Chinese people in exchange for down jackets, woolen coats, cotton, cloth, honeycomb coal, iron stoves, high-count wine, canned food, and other goods?

Camp Commander Hu didn't care about their gaze on the surface, and still confirmed unhurriedly, "Yes, fair trade." ”

Battle's eyes widened, staring at Camp Commander Hu and saying, "No, my Chenda, you have betrayed our trust, you are lying.

The Mongols, relying on our own hands, will definitely not be able to exchange so many good things, if not robbing, there is only one explanation, you are tempting us to do something unfavorable to our race. ”

Everyone's eyes in the tent were staring at him like a ghost, and Camp Chief Hu didn't feel the slightest discomfort at all, and was still strolling around drinking a slightly sour mare's milk wine.

After drinking a full bowl and relieving the heat of walking along the way, he continued to explain under the many unkind eyes.

"My brothers, I have brought you food to fill your stomachs, warm clothing to protect you from freezing to death, and plenty of coal to burn. There is no need to doubt that I am your most reliable advisor.

Leader Battle, you are also wrong, these things can be exchanged for your hard work. Everything can be earned with both hands, and there will never be the slightest obstacle to the reputation of the Mongols.

Of course, this year, you don't need to pay for this, and it can be regarded as a welcome gift from the kingdom. The transaction I am talking about is to prepare for next year, and the specific content of the transaction is not something I can talk about, which requires a special representative sent by the kingdom to carry out the specific operation. ”

The real thing is there, you can touch and see it, and it can't be a lie to them. However, the crowd still felt a little incredible, after all, the Mongols have lived like this for generations, how could it be that all of a sudden, there is a way to change their way of life?

Battalion Commander Hu's deep and majestic voice sounded in the tent: "You can cherish the integrity of a Chinese person, but you can't cherish the honor of a Chinese officer, or an officer who carries the orders of the Northeast Theater Command of Huaxia and the cabinet of the Huaxia Kingdom. ”

"Oh well. I'd like to hear what you used to exchange land with the Han Chinese. Mutton? Beef? There was still a hint of scrutiny in Battle's skeptical words.

If only cattle and sheep could be exchanged for so many good things. Upper tribes throughout the Mongolian plateau. Do you still have to struggle in the snow and ice?

Does Lin Dan Khan still need to find a way to encourage the Mongols to fight back to the Ming Dynasty to rob the rich Han Chinese? Can Huang Taiji still rely on his exploits in robbing the Ming Dynasty last time to gather so many Mongolian tribes to work for him?

Joke. It's just a joke.

In other words, I don't know if it's because of communication problems, or if the ideas are different, the stubborn Mongolians really can't pull back nine cows.

"What's so strange about that?" Camp Commander Hu's voice was already a little impatient, if he hadn't come to open a path for the kingdom's economic expansion with the orders issued by the cabinet, he would have left long ago.

sneered in his heart, the so-called people in power in front of him and behind his back no longer have the sincere nature of the Mongols.

It's better to go out and wrestle, archery, dance, and Kanda Mountain with those low-level Mongolian men, after all, the low-level Mongolians are really bold and true men.

Camp Chief Hu held back his anger and pointed to some fruits and green vegetables on the table and said, "Just as the fruits and vegetables you eat are fresh from the south, we have a large number of factories on the other side of the Yalu River.

Among them, the cannery buys cattle and sheep all year round, and then transports these canned goods by ship to other places to sell. ”

"Canned?"

"It's that tin can, the food made of this special material, technology, and process, which can be kept as long as possible under the condition of preserving nutrition, and under normal circumstances, it can be guaranteed to be fresh and free of decay within one or two years, or even three or four years."

"Such an artifact?" Battalion Commander Hu's words caused an exclamation.

Battalion Commander Hu looked at the amazed eyes of everyone in the tent, and the pride in his chest almost gushed out, and suddenly, his tone became naughty and continued to add.

"And now in Huaxia, even the slowest transport ship, as long as it is with the wind. In three or five days, you can reach the southern region of the Ming Dynasty, and in another three or five days, you can go to several countries further west.

In our country, it is even closer, and it doesn't take more than a day to get it.

In the past two years, it has become popular to eat mutton in winter, our people have a lot of savings after a few years of recuperation, and they don't care about the expenditure of these three dates, as long as the live cattle and sheep are transported back, the sales volume will definitely not be a problem, and it is more suitable for the living habits of the people of the kingdom to eat now. ”

Looking at everyone's stunned eyes with satisfaction, Camp Commander Hu was about to make another big move, he pulled the clothes on his body and continued to explain.

"In addition to beef and mutton, they also bought a lot of cowhide and wool, and look, my woolen coat is machine-processed wool. And this boot, see if there is any, cowhide, the standard equipment issued by the officers of our Huaxia country, this is a big deal. ”

Wool? The Chinese actually bought wool? This thing is in the summer, but it is indeed a big burden, not to make the sheep so hot that it can't stand it, but also to keep changing the moult, the hair that falls, is very annoying when blown by the wind.

In previous years, except for a small part of the wool that fell from the sheep, the part that could not be used had to be thrown away.

This kind of thing, can huge greed be exchanged for money?

Finally entered the urn, Battalion Commander Hu felt that he had not done anything superfluous at all, and he almost brushed his sleeves away several times halfway.

At this level, it can actually lead this group of people into the pit?

Battalion Chief Hu thought about it for a long time, and in the end, he still figured it out, this is completely the conspiracy set by the senior advisers of the Privy Council, no matter how the other party struggles or is reluctant, in the end, as long as the strategy set by the Privy Council is thrown, it can be done.

"No wonder sending an officer of a logistics battalion like me is such a simple job. It is worthy of being a powerful department that can sit on an equal footing with the cabinet, your lordship, even if you have a vision, you can actually recruit so many smart people. ”

Thinking of this, the unpleasantness just now was instantly left behind by Camp Chief Hu, and he continued to throw out all kinds of facts to tempt this group of guys who had never seen the world.

"Of course you can exchange money! We use wool to make wool, and we can also spin wool, and in our country, it is popular among women to use two sweater needles to weave the spun wool into a sweater.

The Chinese soldiers who served in the army basically received the trade sent by their families, and they wore them under their coats, which were close to the body and warm, and it was a good way for girls to express their friendship to the young men. ”

??“ God, God is true. ”

"Yes, it's really a god, it's incredible that Huaxia people can turn waste into treasure."

"So, next year, we will be able to use those worthless cattle and sheep on the grassland to trade the good things of China fairly?"
