    Zhu Dachang¡¯s chest heaved and he was filled with anger.

    He gritted his teeth and said: "I think back when Yanda Khan was here, he said he wanted to restore the glory of our Yuan Dynasty. How many people were willing to fight for him. Our tribe, with a population of 3,700 people, has been fighting all year round.  More than 600 people died, and there was no one to take care of so many livestock Everyone was hungry and robbed pasture, but what's the use?"

    "We have robbed a lot of things from you Han people, but most of them belong to Yanda Khan, his son, and the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty. We fought hard, shed blood, and divided them.  What I got was just a few kilograms of salt, a few bolts of cloth and just enough food to keep me from starving to death."

    "In the past, they always said that the Han people were cunning, and that's true" Zhu Dachang had the honest and honest side of the Mongolians. His eyes were filled with fire, and he did not hide his contempt for certain characteristics of the Han people: "The Han people are cunning, let's talk about mortgages.  , I looked at their accountant and kept checking for a long time before they gave me an interest. I still can¡¯t figure out why I loaned one hundred and ninety taels of silver, but in the end, it cost me  More than five hundred taels of silver You Han people are doing business. Today, you are talking about a big sale, and you are clearing out the warehouse after the sale. But this warehouse can never be cleared. It has been a year since it was cleared, and you are still talking about a big sale and talking about the owner.  They have all run away, but no matter how stupid I am, will I believe that the owner has been running away for more than a year after clearing the warehouse, and is still jumping off the building to sell it? "

    Emperor Hongzhi blushed slightly as he listened.

    Fang Jifan looked up at the roof of the tent, as if it had nothing to do with him. What does this have to do with him.

    Zhu Houzhao¡¯s eyes were still staring at the statue in the shrine. Is this him?  Is this you?  This issue is quite tangled. He wants to be a great hero, but this does not mean that his image becomes a black-faced Rakshasa.

    Liu Jian coughed, and he felt a little ashamed.

    Zhu Dachang took a sip of kumiss and breathed out the smell of alcohol: "However, the Han people also gave us a way to survive. We can no longer succumb to the nobles in the past and no longer rely on them in order to survive. The Han people  When someone is needed to mine, we sell our strength, and they give us money; the Han people need fur, so we raise sheep, and give them wool, which can also be exchanged for their money; the Han people need cattle and horses, and we raise cattle and horses, so do we eat them all ourselves?  These can also be exchanged for silver."

    "Han people have dexterous hands and intelligence. Your tea can make us less sick after drinking it. Your iron pots are also good things; and your countless utensils, your cloth  These can all be purchased with silver.¡±

    "In the past, cattle and sheep were our wealth. We had to take them with us wherever we went. If there was a snowstorm and the cattle and sheep died, we would also starve to death. Every winter, for  For us, it is a fatal matter. In the words of you Han people, this is called the gate of hell. But now, we have also learned from you, use silver to make our wealth. We have raised cattle and sheep, and they are almost grown.  I sell it to you, and I have money in my hand. If there is a snowstorm or a plague on the grassland, and we are short of food and clothing, we can go to you Han people to buy food."

    Zhu Dachang continued to drink wine: "There used to be a family of seven. My mother had no food because of the snowstorm, so I carried her out of the car, gave her some meat, and left her in the snow.  Because of this, our family can continue to survive, and most people do the same thing. But now, I am about to get old, and I believe that here, in this pasture, my sons will no longer  They treat us this way, not because they have learned your Han etiquette, read your Han books and become filial, but because no matter how difficult it is, now, as long as my children and grandchildren still have the strength, they can  Give it to the young and old, and earn a meal."

    "So" Zhu Dachang looked at the two statues of gods in the shrine devoutly: "They are my gods. They are in the sky, or their souls are on all things. They are looking at us with their eyes wide open, looking at us.  Tatars, these two gods will protect us and make us safe and happy in this world. If I don¡¯t believe in them, who else will I believe in? Who in this world can let me wish Da Chang is full of food and drink, and can let my children,  I will also study with you Han children. In the future, I will become a shepherd who can read and write. Who will I believe in? Have you seen the cattle and sheep in my pen? There are dozens of them put on the market this year. This is hundreds of taels of silver.  , don¡¯t think that if you don¡¯t buy it, I won¡¯t be able to sell it. Here, cattle and horses don¡¯t have to worry about selling.¡±

    Zhu Dachang showed pride, and his eyes shone: "In the past, we Tatars had many cattle and sheep, but these cattle and sheep were worthless. Apart from killing them for food, they even traded with you Han people.  , can¡¯t be sold at a high price, and most of the cattle and sheep are YandaKhan sent someone to collect them at the lowest price, just some salt and some tea leaves; he changed hands and traded with you Han people again, but now it is different. Now he raises cattle and sheep and sells them himself. A large number of merchants in the pass  A large number of acquisitions.  "

    Fang Jifan thought to himself, of course, in the past, how many cattle and horses were needed in the pass?  Now that roads are being built, many people have become rich, so they need carriages and horses. If you have a carriage, you need horses. This is a huge demand. As for cattle, not to mention, there used to be a lot of manpower in the pass, and people were reluctant to replace them with precious cattle.  Manpower, but now, more and more people are willing to use cattle for farming.  There is also wool. Wool thread workshops need countless amounts of wool, and the best wool comes from outside the customs. Ten years ago, the cattle, horses and wool here were worthless, but now, the demand is more than a year.  One year.

    The Tatars can earn a good life by raising cattle and horses. At the same time, a large number of cattle, horses and wool can also greatly improve the production and the lives of many people in the pass.

    This is a win-win situation.

    Not to mention, there are countless minerals outside the customs. Xishan Mining is recruiting manpower everywhere. Many powerful Tatars can make a living by their strength if they do not want to herd.

    When a person is full, who cares? Fighting and killing are all born from the mother's womb. Survival and living a good life are human instincts. This is human nature. If robbing can lead to a good life, then they will take risks.  , but once robbery involves huge risks, and production can make oneself worry-free about food and clothing, who will rob?

    Emperor Hongzhi was extremely happy when he heard this. He couldn't help but glance at Fang Jifan with relief. Fang Jifan was indeed very good at it.

    He can always solve countless problems in a way that others cannot imagine.

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I see, I have learned a lesson. I will buy all your horses and oxen, and I will give you a good price."

    Zhu Da Chang was happy and breathed a sigh of relief: "To tell you the truth, if it wasn't because I was in a hurry to collect the down payment for the house, I wouldn't be in a hurry to sell all the horses and cattle. I would just hope to pay more down payment and borrow less money.  .¡±

    ¡°As he said this, he insisted on letting Emperor Hongzhi and others stay for a meal.

    It was noon, and Emperor Hongzhi was feeling hungry.

    Soon, outside the tent, the woman began to produce smoke.

    Emperor Hongzhi originally thought that what he was eating today would be Tatar barbecue. He had always stayed away from such greasy food.

    But when I came out of the tent, I saw that the woman had set up an earthen stove, used an iron pot, lit a fire underneath, cut the meat, threw it into the pot, and stir-fried vegetables like a Han Chinese.

    Fang Jifan stood next to Emperor Hongzhi and said: "Your Majesty Master, you see, Tatars are not born with the love of setting up sheep, lighting a bonfire, and starting to barbecue. The first bite of this thing is  It¡¯s okay, they ate too much and couldn¡¯t stand it. The reason why they were like this was because they didn¡¯t have an iron pot and they could have enough oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. But once they had the conditions, naturally, in the end, unlike us Han people, they didn¡¯t have  Quite a difference."

    Emperor Hongzhi thought thoughtfully, and then nodded: "I understand what you mean. What you mean is that they are actually the same as the Han people, but because of their harsh conditions, they have become a serious problem for our Ming Dynasty. Once, it seems,  What Zhu Dachang said today, from now on, sooner or later, there will not be a gap between Han and Yi?"

    "Uh" Fang Jifan hesitated before he could speak, and smiled in embarrassment.

    Emperor Hongzhi saw that there was something in his words: "What do you want to say, you must tell the truth, otherwise, you will not be spared."

    Fang Jifan did not dare to deceive the emperor, and hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Thisactually what I want to say is that the Tatars will be slowly assimilated, and like the Han people, they will flock to buy houses. The Han people  We need houses, Tatars also need houses, everyone loves houses This is a business opportunity.¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi: ""

    He pondered for a long time: "Vulgar."

    Fang Jifan shook his head, just be vulgar. Is Fang Jifan afraid of being misunderstood?

    But then, Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "Above the desert, the land is endless, why don't the Tatars build their own houses?"

    Fang Jifan cheered up: "This involves the additional attributes of a house. Your Majesty, in order to understand the value of a house, you must first understand the value of certain daily necessities. For example, if a child wants to study, the house will be where the school is.  Where. For example, people have a need for the market, so where the market is, the house will be there. Another example is, people have a need for transportation, and where the transportation is, the house will be there. In addition, there are many considerations  Factors, therefore, simply building a house is the worst. What I sell is not a few bricks and tiles. What I sell is demand. What is demand? Food, clothing, housing and transportation are needs, as are music and reading. To put it more simply,  It is something that can relieve people's loneliness. People are lonely, and a house can relieve people's loneliness, make people feel at ease, give people a sense of belonging, and make people happy."
