Chapter 36: Honest Man (5)

Today, I have the idea of selling the drinks to the grassland people, and I immediately said that this will definitely sell for a high price.

Ye Xijin did not expect that he would become a smuggler one day. He took the warriors into the grasslands, and it took several days before he saw the first tribe.

The prairie people are fierce and good at fighting, and because of the poor living conditions here, human life is like a mustard, so Ye Xi is doing business with them now, and it can be regarded as a knife on the neck.

Ye Xijin is not a reckless person. He saw the eyes of this little tribe leader who couldn’t help looking at the goods behind him, and knew that this first business might not be easy to do.

“I didn’t expect the leader of Garu to be proficient in the Han language. He is truly knowledgeable.” Ye Xijin said with a smile.

Galu was happy when he saw Ye Xijin’s praise, but he still didn’t give up his thoughts, and said in blunt Chinese, “You Han people are used to being nice and obedient.”

“The leader of Galu looks like a dragon and a phoenix. I have something, and I want to talk business with the leader.”

Hearing what Ye Xijin said, the leader of Galu was really interested.

Ye Xijin continued, “Let’s take a look at the leader of Galu, I still like this thing. If I like it, my family has a lot, and I can do business for a long time.”

Ye Xijin took out a small packet of salt.

Galu didn’t care at first, there are many businessmen who go deep into the grasslands to do business. Even if the Central Plains court knew about this, it would not make any comparisons.

When Galu opened the small bag, his casual expression immediately became solemn and made a gesture to the people around him. The men of the tribe stepped back one after another. Ye Xijin also made a gesture, the warrior The team also took two steps back.

“Leader Galu, can you come in and talk in detail?” Ye Xijin asked.

Galu took Ye Xijin into the largest tent of the tribe, even the tent of the tribe leader, in Ye Xijin’s eyes, it was shabby.

“This is a special kumiss made by our tribe. It is more mellow than those made by other tribes. Dear guests, you must try it.” Galu poured wine for Ye Xijin himself.

Ye Xijin saw that Galu had changed his face, but he did not relax, still guarding against Galu turning his face, he raised the bowl and took a sip. Polite, still drink a lot.

“Galu is disrespectful, I don’t even know that the distinguished guest is actually a salt merchant.” Galu said with a smile, salt and iron are two commodities that the grassland people will never refuse, like the small tribe where Galu belongs, Many salt merchants disdain to do business with him, and salt, to some extent, is one of the means by which large tribes control small tribes.

Anyone who can be a leader is not a short-sighted person. As a necessities of life, the Galu tribe has always bought it from the big tribe. Let others be slaughtered, and the prices given by the big tribes are often very high.

Ye Xijin is not like other salt merchants. A few days ago, he discovered many poisonous salt mines in the wilderness near Baiyi Prefecture, so his source of salt is almost constant, so There are not many restrictions on his supply.

Ye Xijin’s asking price is not high, the price is only half of what Galu bought from the big tribe, but Ye Xijin didn’t give much, he didn’t want to cultivate Galu into a prairie dealer , The amount of salt given is based on the number of tribesmen. As a condition for the price concession, the Galu tribe will give Ye Xijin a lot of wool.

Of course not refuse.

Ye Xijin also sold some wine to the Galu tribe. Although this is good wine, the survival of the people of the small tribe is a problem. Not enough.

Simply Ye Xijin’s target audience was not them either. The group stayed in the Galu tribe for a day and then moved on. Ye Xijin’s main target of selling salt was small tribes, and wine was Sold to the big tribe.

The two business cards, salt and wine, helped Ye Xijin open the door to the grassland. It was two months later when he left the grassland.

The grassland in winter is extremely cold, Ye Xijin thought about the phrase “this winter is much colder than last year” casually mentioned by the people in the tribe, and seeing the cattle and sheep that were frozen to death with his own eyes. My heart is heavy.

Busy with my own business today.

Hanging on the status of a classic and history, it is very convenient to do anything. Ye Xijin got a pot of gold on the grassland, and bought land generously and built a new village on it. To deceive people, not all lands have salt mines.

Zhuangzi without salt mines, Ye Xijin set up a research and development team. According to the knowledge he knew in modern times, he quickly developed wool. After the first improvement, the large-scale manufacturing of this new type of textile machine began.

Ye Xijin personally went to visit the Tusi of Huayi people. The Huayi people are considered as the local big family. Ye Xijin still has the identity of Huayi people. He talked with the Tusi of Huayi in detail. , and then brought back a large number of young and middle-aged Huayi women.

The textile factory of Ye Xijin is arranged in a village not far from the settlement of the Huayi people. They provide a lunch every day and work four hours a day. The women of the Huayi people come together in the morning , and go together at night.

Ye Xijin did not use a fixed salary model, but was paid by the piece, using a daily payment method. Even though it would take a lot of effort, it could avoid a lot of disputes.

Ye Xijin’s shop soon began to sell sweaters. Because it was a new product, not many people bought it at first, but gradually the word of mouth rose. The kind of sweater did not cause much waves in Baiyi City, and most people still think that this kind of clothes is an unsightly but practical luxury.

At the end of October, it began to snow in Baiyi City. Ye Xi looked in the direction of the grassland. He asked the local people in Baiyi City. This winter is much colder than before. When Xijin left the grassland, there were already frozen cattle and sheep on the grassland. After this heavy snowfall, I am afraid the situation on the grassland will be even worse.

Ye Xijin has not been idle these days. In the cold winter, because he does not have to serve the crops, a large number of labors have been idled, but Ye Xijin’s village has not stopped with the winter, and he again Hired a group of people and started working overtime for the final preparations.

No better than other officials, Ye Xijin is always guarding against the actions of this prairie man. On his first Spring Festival in this dynasty, he was in a mood of anxiety created by himself. Pass.

For several months, there was no change in the grassland. Ye Xijin thought that maybe he thought too much, but one day in February, the city gate of Baiyi Mansion had just opened in the early morning, and immediately A soldier in a mess rushed in. The soldier’s face was full of despair. Ye Xijin wanted to go out to Dianmao in Tonghua County today, but when this happened, he immediately diverted and followed the soldier to the government office.

“Pengzhang and Weishu counties were destroyed overnight, and the Tartars on the grasslands have now reached Jinyun County!”

After listening to the soldier’s breathless words, the prefect of Baiyi City was full of disbelief and asked, “What did you say?”

The soldiers repeated it again, the prefect Mei Gu Qi suddenly softened when he heard the words, and the master next to him quickly supported the prefect Mei.

Behind Jinyun County is Tonghua County. Tonghua County is the gateway to the city of Baiyi Prefecture. Tonghua County does not have many troops, so it is not surprising that Mei Zhifu is so worried.

“Wang guarding, hurry up, hurry up and invite people over!” Mei Zhifu said.

Someone ran out.

“Sir, you haven’t asked about the situation in Pengzhang and Yushu counties.” The master reminded in a low voice.

Mei prefect just woke up suddenly, and hurriedly asked: “What about the situation in the two counties, can the magistrates of the two counties coexist with the people?”

“Pengzhang county magistrate was killed in a breach of duty, and Yushu magistrate has already run away with his family.” The **** was articulate.

“This stupid official, coward!” Mei Zhifu scolded.

Ye Xijin saw that the prefect couldn’t grasp the main point for a long time, and immediately said: “Master prefect, the most urgent task now is to ask the southwest defenders for help. The iron cavalry of the Tartars.”

“Yes, yes, you’re right, come here, go and ask General Qin in the southwest for help!” After Mei Zhifu finished speaking, she felt that Ye Xijin was a little familiar, but she couldn’t name her.

Ye Xijin sneaked in behind the soldier. Mei Zhifu felt that he was not from his own yamen, so he asked directly, “Who are you?”

“Xiaguan Tonghua County Code History Ye Xijin.”

Mei Zhifu thought for a while, nodded, and said, “This official remembers someone like you, you are from the Huayi tribe.”

“Adults have a good memory.”

Mei Zhifu remembered the appearance of six gods and no masters, and felt very embarrassed. When he thought of Ye Xijin seeing his own ugly state, he immediately saw that Ye Xijin was a little unpleasant, and immediately said: ” Master Ye is a classic historian of Tonghua County, and now Tonghua is in trouble, why is he still here? Could it be that he is also a person who is greedy for life and fears death?”

The author has something to say:  The month here is the lunar calendar.
