Chapter 47: The Pasture

This place is fertile and suitable for agriculture and pasture. Ever since the Great Master of Wen ordered such places to be grazed on a large scale, and no cultivation should be carried out.

There are many merchants from Hedong who have a vision and enter this place to open a large ranch. Just like the original Zheng Youmeng, he also did business in the land of the Hetao.

However, their Zheng family is not too strong, and they did not open a large-scale ranch, but ran a canned meat business.

This time, Zheng Youmeng, on behalf of these big businessmen, traveled thousands of miles, almost all the way to Ulaanbaatar in later generations to work for the army. Sure enough, he won the favor of the Great Heavenly Master Wen, and the various fur treasures he gave him far exceeded the cost of their labor army.

When these people have received the grace of the Heavenly Master, they naturally want to work hard to repay them. Hearing that the army came to the vicinity of Yunneizhou, he brought a large number of supplies to the labor army.

Countless flocks of sheep, as well as herds of war horses, were all produced by these pastures and sent to the Wenda Heavenly Master Army.

Those who were able to operate pastures and breed war horses here were all in the Great Song Dynasty and had deep-rooted relationships and huge power. Even many royal relatives have it.

After all, war horses are a proper strategic material in any era of cold weapons.

However, no matter how powerful these people are. In front of the Great Heavenly Master Wen, he couldn't be more obedient! Who doesn't know who the most powerful person in the Great Song Dynasty is now?

But even when these people saw Master Wenda, they were also bitter. The drought in the north has already affected the Hetao, and even the water flow of the Yellow River has become so much less, and the pastures in the Hetao have also been greatly affected.

"My pastures are yellow, and thousands of animals have died of starvation. If it goes on like this, where will it go? It's cheaper than Zheng Youmeng's goods, and it's all used to make canned meat......"

"My family is even worse, and the war horses are constantly losing weight. These are all war horses set by the imperial court, and they are used in Shang's father's army. No matter how difficult it is for the little people. Even if people are hungry, they have to desperately raise war horses, and they have to buy grain from the mainland to feed the horses. None of this money was earned. Instead, I lost a lot of ......."

This product is said to be proud, and people who don't know still think that this product is obviously boasting. Where is the complaint?

Wen Da Heavenly Master listened and nodded continuously. These businessmen were even more encouraged and spoke one after another.

They had already vaguely heard that the Zheng family seemed to have won the favor of the Great Master of Wen, and they wanted to do something business together.

Who is Father Shang? That is the Heavenly Dao King who came down to earth to restore peace in this world. Is there anything that is profitable in the business that his old man values?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really don't make money, you will always lose money. That's nothing. As long as he can get in touch with Master Wen and become the family member valued by Shang's father, it doesn't matter if he loses hundreds of thousands or millions.

I don't see the southern half of the city, this guy is appreciated by Shang's father. Steadily sat on the promotion of the city's shipping department.

You must know that those southern Yankees are really magnificent, and the matter of sending troops for Shang's father is tens of millions of dollars as soon as they are repaid. Although it was jointly funded by the wealthy merchants of the entire south, it was unsightly to compare them to the northern merchants in such a sudden way.

They went out of the Serao army, and although they sent a lot of supplies. However, if you are full, it will not exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars, mainly because the road is long and you consume a lot along the way.

That's how it came to all kinds of precious fur medicinal materials and other things that Shang's father gave back. It's already worth the price.

It seems that Father Shang really looks down on these Northland merchants!

Those southern merchants spent tens of millions, but they just let half of the city be their representative and become the promotion of the city department. Moreover, it is necessary to ensure that the annual tax paid by the city department cannot be less than 10 million yuan.

From these figures, we can also calculate how much money these businessmen themselves can make in a year.

The crows in the world are as black as the world, and the merchants in the world are the same, and they are also unprofitable. If you can't make money, who would be stupid enough to agree to such a condition?

So no matter what happens, you have to get on the line with Wenda Heavenly Master. They also have enough merchants in the north, and together, they can also repay tens of millions of dollars, and they will not be worse than the southerners.

This era, although the economy of the South began to emerge. However, the gap between the north and the south has not yet been completely widened.

It also has to be after the Southern Song Dynasty, after the double cropping in a year and the three crops in a year are completely popularized. Jiangnan is rich, and it will completely leave the north far behind, and even the dust tail can't be seen.

However, at this time, the ecology of the north has not been completely destroyed, and the cultivation of Champa rice in the south has not been completely popularized. Although the proportion of the South economy has surpassed that of the North, the difference is not too far.

In particular, there is also a city of Tokyo, which is the center of wealth and materials in the world, which increases the proportion of the northern economy.

Moreover, after the fall of Western Xia. The Silk Road was quietly opened, although it could not reach the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, connecting the East and the West, but it already had a scale. You can now trade with the Turkic Khanate.

Let the treasures and curiosities of the land of great food be able to travel to and from the Great Song Dynasty by land. It's just that in the two years after the fall of Western Xia, you can see places like Chang'an and Kaifeng, and the Hu people who come and go suddenly have more people.

This gave the merchants in the north more confidence, and they could do what the southerners could do.

The half of the city can monopolize the maritime trade of the city's shipping division, pay tens of millions of yuan for the imperial court every year, and these merchants can naturally launch spokespersons and monopolize the trade of the entire Silk Road.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Master nodded with a smile on his face, as if he was very appreciative of the "loyalty and courage" of these merchants.

After listening to it for half an hour, he said with a smile: "According to this Heavenly Master, it is not right to wait for this ranch. ”

These words suddenly made everyone quiet all of a sudden, and they didn't understand how the Great Heavenly Master Wen, who was still very kind just now, could suddenly say such a thing.

More people were beating drums in their hearts, forgetting what kind of character Master Wen Da Heavenly Master was, and just now gave them some smiling faces, and these people began to kick their noses and faces. He actually complained so much to Master Wen, he was simply carried away.

However, when Master Wen saw that these people suddenly quieted down, he knew that they had misunderstood what he meant. However, Master Wen was not in a hurry, he slowly picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea with taste.

Although Master Wen promoted the tea ceremony of the Northern Song Dynasty in modern time and space before, he himself was not very accustomed to drinking the broken tea of the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, he monopolized Longjing and other famous teas early, so he naturally drank fried tea. What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. What's more, an immortal like Wenda Heavenly Master?

As soon as Wenda Heavenly Master drank the tea, it quickly became popular among the royal nobles. Hundreds of civil and military officials, and even the promotion of small people, are even more popular, and now it has spread all over the north and south of the river, on both sides of the Yellow River.

And the most popular is Jiangnan, these methods of drinking tea have roots in Jiangnan. Historically, it was first spread in monasteries, and finally spread to the world.

Interestingly, tea in the East and coffee in the West were popularized by religion, and probably these things have a refreshing effect.

Oriental tea is considered by the monks who participate in Zen meditation to be a god to stay awake and defeat the nebuta.

After coffee spread to the Great Food Land, it also quickly became popular among the Crescent Religion, and was often drunk as a refreshing drink. After it was introduced to Europe again, it was first accepted in the church and then became popular in the world.

Master Wen Da was slowly sipping fragrant tea here, but those merchants were sweating one by one, scaring themselves, and even some people couldn't sit still, shaking, and their faces were pale as if they were going to faint at any time.

"Actually, you don't have to learn the way to raise those sheep and horses. "Master Wen seemed to have enough of the fragrant tea, so he said such a sentence slowly, almost tossing these mentally tense guys crazy.

"Why is my Han family richer and richer than those Hu people? It's not that they are nomadic, we are farming? To make a living, those Hu families need at least 500 sheep, and one sheep needs two or three acres of pasture to feed. ”

"Father Shang is really like a torch," those businessmen witnessed that Master Wen Tian opened his mouth, and they didn't mean it, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although they didn't know what the use of what Wen Tian Master said was for. But he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, but just took the opportunity to frantically pat himself on the back.

"Don't look at those sassy beards, I have a lot of horses. When we Han people think about it, we all think that they eat mutton every day and are very happy. In fact, how is it possible? Just like our butchers in the Great Song Dynasty can't afford to eat pork, those Sao Hu can't afford to eat mutton a few times a year. ”

"Yes, yes. The livestock on the grassland are thin in spring, strong in summer, fat in autumn, and dead in winter with the season. There are also black disasters and white disasters, but they are far worse than our ability to resist disasters in the Great Song Dynasty. When a disaster occurs, a large number of livestock die.

And then there are the oppression and bullying of those patriarchs, to be honest, these are living a much more miserable life than our peasants in the Great Song Dynasty!"

Wen Da Heavenly Master listened to these guys quietly, and only then did he smile and say, "Not bad, not bad." Those nomadic Hu people eat the most dairy products, and they can't afford to eat meat. It's just that if you know, why do you still learn the methods of the Hu people to run the ranch?"

Everyone is looking at each other, and this ranch is not run like this. What else can I do?

It's just that some people have quick brains and are willing to think, carefully understand the meaning of Shang's father's words, and deeply understand the spirit in it.
