Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons
Chapter 1881 Slaughtering the Prairie
In the Yuanmeng grassland, the autumn grass is lush, and the rare grassland no longer needs to buy straw bales. This will be a rich autumn. The herdsmen on the grassland only need to raise their own cattle, sheep and horses. After a while, the caravans of the Han people will enter the grassland and exchange them for sufficient daily necessities. This winter will be a prosperous winter.
In the past few years, the Central Plains has been safe and sound. Although there have been years of wars, fortunately there have been no major natural disasters. Liu Xiu's disaster has been a rare disaster in recent years.
The situation here in the grassland is the same. The herdsmen have also lived a stable few years without the snowstorm they fear most.
For a long time, unless the two sides really fought fiercely, Li Xiang would not absolutely block the mutual market between the two sides at the border. The grassland people are very interested in the salt, cloth, silk and tea in the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is equally interested in the cattle, horses and sheep herding in the grassland.
It is not a bad thing to establish a mutual market between the two sides in various places on the frontier, and it is beneficial to both sides.
Don't even look at Xizhou and Yuanmeng's constant war, so that Li Xiang closed many trade openings with the grassland, but they still haven't been completely blocked, leaving a few behind.
Wars belong to wars, but the pace of economy and construction can never stop.
After all, the profit from doing business with the grassland is really huge, even if Li Xiang wants to stop it, he can't stop it.How many horses from the grassland can be sold in the Central Plains, and how much can be sold in the south, and how much profit can the tea and cloth from the south be put on the grassland?
Even if Li Xiang blocked the commercial and trade transactions between the two parties, but the merchants have been seeking profit since ancient times, would they really not trade with the grassland because of this?I'm afraid that at that time, he will try his best to open up the trade channel with the grassland, even if it means betting the lives of his whole family.
Things like this have existed since ancient times.
Therefore, instead of blocking the trade channels between the two sides, it is better to open a few openings openly, so that all trade exchanges can be controlled to a certain extent within one's sight.
Moreover, among the many taxes in Dajin, commercial tax is the highest one.Especially when there was a shortage of money in the war just now, if the business channels of these merchants were blocked, where would the Great Jin Dynasty get money?
If you don't make a move on business tax, is it possible to make a move on agriculture?
Among the several forces in the grassland, even the most powerful Temujin didn't mind that the war horses on the grassland flowed to the big man within a certain degree. What Temujin needed to control was only the speed and the quantity.
After all, where do you think Temujin's iron tools came from before he discovered the iron mine on the grassland?Temujin is also a beneficiary of the business exchanges between the two parties!
Moreover, Temujin knew very well that even if he exported a certain amount of war horses to the territory of the Han Dynasty, they would not be in the hands of the Jin army, because the Jin army did not need them. The Jin army had its own horse farm, which was enough to supply its own needs, and there was no need to continue to buy from outside.What the Jin army was interested in in the grasslands was not war horses, but cattle and sheep, especially cattle that could cultivate land.
All the princes in the Han Dynasty believed that the biggest threat was the Jin army. Even if a batch of war horses were imported into the Han Dynasty, there was a high probability that the horses would eventually fall into the hands of the princes except the Jin army.Even to a large extent, it will be used against the Jin army in the end, so why not Temujin?
Temujin thought so, and Tuoba Wei and Man Qing also maintained a general idea. The northern princes connected to them all had their own horse farms. Even if they were doing business with the big Han, the final import of these horses would be the Central Plains princes and southern princes, and they would not be used against them.
Why do merchants start trading with grasslands, isn't it just for profit?After they bought war horses from the grasslands, how could they sell them to the northern princes for how much money?In other words, only by going to the princes of the Central Plains, or even the princes farther south, will have the greatest benefit.
As for the tribes near the northern border, many herdsmen showed a hint of laughter at this time because the next wave of business climax was coming.
These people are not born robbers, and they need to risk their lives to rob the big man, not to mention that in the countless small confrontations with the Jin army over the years, they did not have any advantage.
If there are enough daily necessities, even if it is a lamp oil, then why should everyone use a knife to grab them? They, grassland peoples, also want to live in peace and stability, and live peacefully.
Since ancient times, grasslands have had the habit of plundering like the Central Plains, not because they like to plunder, but because they have to rob to survive.
"The Han Chinese caravan is coming, so what should I exchange for it?" Lying on the mountain of wool, Old Wumeng counted with his fingers: "This pile of wool can be exchanged for twenty bags of rice from the south. Calculated in this way, my whole family will have delicious rice to eat this winter."
Looking at the fattening flock of sheep in the distance: "The Han merchants have already said that a sheep can be exchanged for three catties of salt, so including the sheep that has already given birth to dysentery, I need to exchange at least one hundred catties of salt. In this way, I will eat delicious mutton throughout the winter."
"Also, the grandson has just been born, the thin skin and tender flesh, the rough and tough sheepskin, always rubs his delicate skin red, and needs to change a piece of cotton or silk to make him a small shirt, and..."
There are indeed too many things I need, and I need to exchange them with the Han Chinese caravan before I move the pasture and find a place to spend the winter.
When will the caravans of the Han people come?
After all, the Great Han has been established for hundreds of years, and Li Xiang's Great Jin Dynasty has only been established for how long, and Li Xiang has not yet completed the unification. In the hearts of grassland herdsmen, the south of the grassland is still Han people, not Jin people.
While Old Wumeng was thinking about this, smoke and dust had already risen from the south, which made Old Wumeng excited. Looking at the scale, this caravan is huge. They will bring countless lucrative commodities. If you are close to the water, you will be able to buy what you need most at the cheapest price.
So Old Wumeng yelled at the tent behind him: "Silly boy, hurry up and take out our hada and salt, prepare to serve kumiss, and welcome the arrival of the Han Chinese caravan."
His old son rushed out of the tent excitedly, handed a pure white khata to his father, took one himself, stood behind his father, and strode towards the oncoming caravan.
What was coming was not the caravan they had imagined, but a densely packed army.
In the past few years, the Central Plains has been safe and sound. Although there have been years of wars, fortunately there have been no major natural disasters. Liu Xiu's disaster has been a rare disaster in recent years.
