At the bottom of the chest, there is a layer of gold and silver, both gold and silver, which are cast into finger-sized strips. Dong Ce counted it, there were two hundred taels of gold, and there were as many as one thousand taels of silver! No wonder this box is so heavy.

In fact, the gold and silver accounted for less than 20% of the total value of the contents of the box. On top of the gold and silver, there were pearls and jades, including large pieces of topaz and dozens of pearls the size of the thumb knuckles, all round and shining seductively in the light of the fire.

It is conservatively estimated that this box of belongings is worth at least more than 20,000 taels of silver!

Dong Ce sighed softly and forcibly held back the joy in his heart. These belongings were purely a surprise, after all, no one thought that they would be able to grab these things from Jiannu before. Thinking of this, he was also secretly glad in his heart, this time Jiannu brought so much property to the Chahar Department, obviously he also had great determination, and he did not hesitate to buy the nobles of the Chahar Department to pull them to his side.

It's just that I don't know why, these belongings haven't been sent out yet, maybe it's because those slave envoys are worried about the money, or they think that this progress is okay, and the Chahar Department is very likely to be pulled to their own side, and they don't need to buy it with a lot of money.

Thanks to the fact that they didn't send things out, if they hadn't been afraid of Dong Ce, as soon as they came, they would have gotten the news that the Chahar Department had returned to Jiannu.

Although money is not everything, the role of money should not be underestimated in any era.

It's just that these belongings are cheap Dong Ce them.

Dong Ce poured out the silver, and then took in the gold and jewelry, and then he beckoned Wang Tong and Yelu Li and a few people to come in, pointed to the silver and said, "Brothers, have worked hard today, send all the silver down!" Three of you, one of you a hundred taels, and the rest shall be divided equally among the brethren. ”

"Yes!" The three of them were all overjoyed and thankful, after all, it was a happy thing to be able to get the silver.

Not long after the three of them went out, there were bursts of cheers in this small camp, and Dong Ce also smiled slightly when he heard it.

Every time there is a seized property, the most valuable property naturally belongs to him, but the president will also have the last time, although the meat is eaten by him, but always let the people under his hands drink the soup.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Dong Ce was squatting at the door of the tent to brush his teeth. The toothbrush was his own, and the handle was made of fine jade, and the bristles were on it, neatly arranged. This is a more elaborate toothbrush, and it can only be used by the gentry or wealthy merchants, and it is slightly worse, with a toothbrush supported by a bony handle and bristles.

In fact, the toothbrush made of this branch is also good, but it is easy to hurt the gums and lips, causing bleeding.

When Dong Ce went out, he brought three toothbrushes with him and asked him to change them.

The toothpaste is replaced by green salt, and at Dong Ce's price, the best green salt produced in Shanxi is naturally used.

Looking at this toothbrush, Dong Ce thought of the women in the family. After being away from home for a few months, he also missed it a lot, and he sighed secretly in his heart: "I don't know how she is doing at home?" Is my mother still healthy? ”

Thinking of this, it is natural that the Rock Fort comes to mind. I don't know how the recruitment of displaced people is going now, and how many people have been recruited? How many soldiers have been chosen? How much wasteland has been reclaimed? And at this time, it's almost time for the wheat to be harvested, right? I don't know what will happen to this year's harvest?

There was a sudden coaxing in his mind, and Dong Ce laughed at himself: "Damn, what do you want to do so much, it is only right to hurry up and go back after learning about the matter here." The rock fort is the foundation of Lao Tzu! But this time I came out, but I really made a lot of money, and when I returned to Rock Castle, my strength was another leap. ”

As soon as he stood up after brushing his teeth, Dong Ce saw a fast horse coming not far in front of him, and immediately the cavalry jumped down, Dong Ce recognized him, this was Xie Dingkun's subordinate.

The cavalryman came close and arched his hand: "General Dong, my lord beckoned you over." ”

Dong Ce nodded: "I'll go now!" ”

He hasn't eaten breakfast yet, but Prime Minister Liu Ruo will never dare to delay. Calling myself over so early in the morning, I'm afraid that there is something big, most likely because the Chahar Department has loosened its mouth.

When Dong Ce arrived in Liu Ruozai's tent, he saw a lot of cavalry from the Chahar Department standing outside the tent, and they looked quite strong and elite, thinking that they were the guards of a certain big man.

He opened the curtain and went in, and saw a man from the Chahar tribe standing in the tent. Dong Ce had already guessed that someone from the Chahar Department would come, but he never expected that it would be her!

The Queen Mother actually came in person!

Seeing Dong Ce come in, Liu Ruozai nodded slightly to him, and the Empress Dowager glared at him angrily, Dong Ce didn't care, and greeted the two with a smile.

Liu Ruozai retreated left and right, leaving only Dong Ce and the Empress Dowager in the tent.

The Empress Dowager's eyes showed a slight look of surprise, she knew very well that this time the composition of the envoys of the Ming Kingdom, except for Liu Ruozai, among the remaining generals, Dong Ce was by no means the one with the highest status, on the contrary, he should be one of the lowest grades. But Liu Ruozai didn't call anyone else, but only called him over, which shows his trust and value.

Liu Ruozai spoke first, he smiled, and said to the Queen Mother: "This time the Queen Mother is here, has your ministry already made a decision?" ”

The Empress Dowager said bluntly: "This time, I came here to make conditions!" ”

"I admit that now our Chahar Department is in a very difficult situation, it seems that there is no other way to go except to submit to the Ming Dynasty, but we also have conditions, if we can't meet our conditions, we would rather continue to live a difficult life than send people under the fence and suffer humiliation!"

She looked resolute, her words were categorical, her eyes stared at Liu Ruozai, and her face was full of fortitude. The lines on her face usually look soft, but now they look unusually hard.

Without the slightest beating around the bush, he directly explained the intention, such straightforwardness was somewhat unexpected by Liu Ruozai and the others, and it also made them a little uncomfortable for them who were used to talking in secret.

Liu Ruozai paused, and then smiled: "The Queen Mother has something to say." You should also know that we are a country of etiquette, and we must be respectful and courteous to you, and we will never treat you harshly, let alone be embarrassed. ”

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Some words are better to be clear in advance." ”

Liu Ruozai was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Then you ask." ”

"First, where will we be settled?"

The Queen Mother said.

This is one of the issues that these high-level Chahar leaders are most concerned about. From the place of placement, you can see the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty, if they are directly placed in a barren land where no grass grows, then there is no need to talk about it.

Liu Ruozai did not answer directly, but asked: "Then I don't know, what requirements does your ministry have for the location of the placement?" ”

The Empress Dowager had obviously thought carefully before she came, and she said without hesitation: "First, you want the water and plants to be abundant." We still have so many people and so many animals in the Chahar department, if the pasture is not big enough and not rich enough, we will not be able to feed it at all. ”

Liu Ruozai nodded: "As it should be." ”

"Second, it must be in the territory of Daming, otherwise Daming will not be able to give us shelter, with our current strength, once Jiannu fights, we will definitely not be able to resist." Liu Ruozai nodded again: "When it is so." "Third, you can't get too far from the border."
