While Du Mingen of Tianzhu was discussing the Portuguese affairs, the autumn of Ming Dynasty also quietly began to enter.
North of the Great Wall, on the vast grasslands, with the arrival of autumn, the originally green grasslands are gradually changing into new clothes.
The grass on the grassland is gradually turning yellow, but the cattle and sheep on the grassland are getting fatter and stronger. It is the most fat time of the year.
Qiqige rode a horse with her Eji Anmul and her younger brother Batu, driving a group of cattle, sheep and horses in one direction.
"Qiqige, I heard that the town is very lively, with a lot of delicious food and fun things."
Batu, who was only thirteen years old, looked very excited.
He was excited at the thought of going to town.
There were no towns on the grasslands before, because the people on the grasslands were nomadic and lived with water and grass, so there was no need for towns at all.
However, since the Tatar tribes surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and became part of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty began to build many towns on the grasslands.
As the first grassland tribe to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the Naiman tribe was the first town to appear on the grassland.
These towns are specifically designed to facilitate trade. There are three days of market time every month. People on the grassland can drive their cattle, sheep and horses here to sell them.
Then they buy what they need in the market. There are many merchants in the market. These merchants from the Ming Dynasty bring all kinds of things.
Food, iron pots, salt, tea, medicine, beautiful clothes, etc., all the things they had no place to buy before, can be bought casually in these towns, and the prices are getting cheaper and cheaper.
This has allowed these grassland people to live a life that they could not even imagine before.
"Just eat and play. You are already thirteen years old. Eji said that I will marry you a wife next year, and you will be an adult by then."
Qiqige looked at her brother and said helplessly.
My younger brother is very strong and looks very good.
You can buy salt, tea and other urgently needed things at will. The grassland people live a very comfortable life.
¡°Moreover, the Ming Dynasty conquered the Tatar tribes and also defeated the Oara people¡¯s attack. Without the war, she and Eji no longer have to worry about the safety of their younger brother, and their family can continue.
"Huh~ I don't want to marry a wife. What's the good of having a wife?"
When Batu heard this, he immediately pouted and said.
"You can have children if you marry a wife. Only by having children can our family become bigger."
Qiqige said.
"I don't want it. I've heard that the world is very big and I also want to see the Central Plains."
Batu said unhappy.
"Haha, our Batu has grown up and turned into an eagle on the grassland."
On the side, Anmul, the mother of the two, heard it and immediately laughed.
She is very satisfied with her current life. She is grazing on the grassland and relying on the raised cattle, sheep and horses to support her family. She lives a comfortable life.
"Why did you always have to fight with Akito before?"
"We go south to plunder every year, but every winter we still have to die a lot of cattle and sheep, a lot of people, and there will be no food, no salt, no tea, and no iron pots."
¡°It¡¯s so good now, I have everything I want, and it¡¯s so good that everyone can live in harmony.¡±
She couldn¡¯t help but think of her husband in her heart, and her husband who died in the Central Plains.
Riding a war horse and taking up arms, the husband went to the Central Plains to plunder, in fact, it was just for winter food, salt and tea. If he could grab an iron pot, it would be a dream.
But now, there is no need to rob at all. They only need to exchange cattle, sheep and horses for a lot of grain, salt and tea. There are too many iron pots at home to use.
Driving the cattle and sheep toward the nearest town.
At noon, on an open grassland next to a river, buildings came into view.
¡°Haha, it¡¯s finally here~¡±
Batu rode his horse excitedly. He couldn't wait to go to the towns on the grassland to have a look.
The long-term nomadic life has brought these herdsmen on the grassland into contact with fewer people.
&nHe added the price somewhat helplessly.
If Anmur goes to find other merchants, he will no longer have the wool, and he will have no choice but to increase the price.
"No, no, I only sell my wool to Wang's Trading Company or Sangong Trading Company. The price you merchants give is too low, and it's still short of a pound."
Anmul still shook his head. The grassland herdsmen who often come here know that the prices offered by the merchants outside are actually relatively low. The ones who give fair prices without missing a point are the shops inside.
Like Wang¡¯s Trading Company, this is a trading firm opened by the Wang family of Caiyun Textile Factory in Beijing. It specializes in purchasing wool. The price is always fair and there is no shortage. The herdsmen on the grassland like to sell wool to them.
Even though sometimes the prices offered by the merchants outside are higher, everyone trusts the merchants inside because they are never short of money and will not deceive the herdsmen.
Hearing Anmur's words, Hu Jin suddenly felt helpless.
This is no longer just one family. The opening of the grassland town market has also attracted many businessmen to do business on the grassland. Of course, there is some rat droppings, which makes life difficult for small businessmen like Hu Jin.
Because the herdsmen who have been deceived simply don¡¯t believe in small businessmen like them, they trust the big business houses that focus on credibility.
