The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

The location of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In just two months, unimaginable changes have taken place in the entire Beiyuan area.

This can already be said to be the difference between heaven and earth.

In the former Bei Yuan, under the strong suppression of Ming Dynasty, all parties were in short supply of supplies. Some lowly slaves could drink half a bowl of gruel every day, which was already thankful.

Ordinary people's lives are not very good. The medicinal materials and tea at home have been exhausted after a winter.

In the absence of food, they can only survive on milk of cows and goats, and occasionally they can only eat meat.

There is not even salt, purely cooked meat is difficult to swallow, and long-term consumption of greasy meat brings with it the torment of various diseases.

It's okay for adults, especially children, who generally have abdominal distension.

This situation develops in the homes of all grassland people, even some nobles in Mongolia, it is not much better.

Mostly, the fear of future life.

During that time, Bei Yuan, whether it was the imperial court or the tribes of all parties, was gloomy and gloomy, with no smiles to be seen.

But it is different now.

Zhu Ying set up the mutual market as quickly as possible, and he had a large amount of supplies. After only three days, a large number of urgently needed supplies for the grasslands had already started to go on the road.

The cavalry from all walks of life here in Beiyuan was closely escorted and quickly arrived at the seven trading points set up.

The arrival of the Daming caravan was like seeing the sun through the clouds and mist, and everyone's faces were filled with cheerful smiles.

In particular, the increase in prices has brought great surprises to all the herdsmen in the grasslands.

On the evening of the same day, there was a bonfire party, singing and dancing, to welcome the arrival of the Daming caravan.

Invisibly, all the herdsmen found that they could not do without Daming.

The elders of some tribes, watching this scene, sighed slightly in their hearts.

In the future, there may be no way to go to the Central Plains to play the autumn wind.

Firstly, Daming became stronger and stronger, and secondly, after the arrival of the Daming caravan, a law was announced.

From now on, if any tribe is found to be raging and plundering Ming Dynasty, it will be permanently added to the unwelcome list.

This means that the Great Ming Chamber of Commerce will refuse to deal with them and impose inter-tribal sanctions.

Such a law may seem to have little effect, but it actually makes many people feel a lot more afraid.

Through the embargo, it can be seen that the current Ming Dynasty will really implement the laws and regulations thoroughly.

Just relying on the development of the grassland itself, whether it is fur or livestock, it is difficult to feed the tribe.

Where is the road ahead?

The imperial court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had a large tent in the palace.

Eleboke sat on the dragon chair, and below were the civil and military officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"Shangshu Haba, this time you were able to capture the King of Yan Zhu Di alive, prompting Daming to reach a peace covenant with Beiyuan, lift the embargo, and trade at a lower price. Your contribution is indisputable."

"Tell me, what reward do you want, as long as you say it, I can promise you."

Eleboke said with a smile, in a good mood.

In terms of negotiations, although apart from the lifting of the Ming embargo, no compensation was obtained for other materials, but the development of the trade allowed the reputation of Elbek Khan to spread throughout the grassland.

All the Mongolian tribes, nobles, and herdsmen are thinking of Eleboke.

And Eleboke's prestige in the Northern Yuan court and army also reached a peak.

It's much harder to speak now.

Haba, Minister of the Ministry of War below, was a little speechless when he heard what His Majesty said.

Although the situation in Beiyuan is improving now, in fact, the household department has long been in deficit, so there is no reward to be issued.

How can he not understand the meaning of His Majesty's words, it's just for a better step down.

But this is also a good opportunity for Haba.

He is now the minister of the Ministry of War, and in the current situation where the prime minister is vacant, he is already considered an extremely human minister.

It is already a very good situation to be able to maintain the current position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

At that time, the first thing Haba did when he caught Yan Wang Zhu Di returning to the Northern Yuan court was to hand in his tiger amulet overnight, for fear that His Majesty would have other ideas.

But if you have the credit, you don’t want any rewards, that’s not okay.

After thinking about it for a while, Haba said, "This is all the duty of the minister, but speaking of it, the minister really wants something, and I implore His Majesty to reward you."

Eleboke's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he asked calmly; "But it's okay to say."

Haba grasped this scene, and immediately said: "I like snowflake salt the most, but the Chamber of Commerce in Daming has restrictions on the share of snowflake salt. The portion here seems to be quite a lot, and it's not enough to eat."

"There are also those exquisite seasonings, and I can't eat a few meals."

"Your Majesty knows that this is what I want, so I dare to ask Your Majesty to give me some."

Hearing this, Eleboke felt relieved.

Sure enough, this Haba is quite sensible.

It happened to be snowflake salt and seasoning.

If it is anything else, Eleboke may not be able to take it out. It is precisely this snowflake salt and seasoning that he currently has a relatively sufficient stock in hand.

When the Daming caravan came earlier, the grandson of Daming specially sent a lot of them over.

Now snowflake salt is second, and the barbecue seasoning is really popular in Beiyuan.

After sprinkled on the barbecue, it feels like eating something different, the taste can be swallowed even by the tongue.

"Since Haba Shangshu opened his mouth, I can't be stingy."

"Reward, thirty catties of snowflake salt and ten catties of seasoning."

Eleboke said with a smile.

Ten catties of seasoning is not a small amount. Only a little bit of barbecue is enough. These ten catties of seasoning can only be bought with at least tens of catties of gold in the current Beiyuan.

It's not that Eleboke doesn't know the prices, it's just that these things are all given by the grandson of Ming Dynasty, and I don't feel bad about giving away things for nothing.

Besides, the person in charge of the chamber of commerce who came to the Beiyuan court said that as long as he needed snowflake salt and seasoning, he would send them as soon as he asked.

It was specifically confessed by the grandson of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Eleboke's favor for the grandson of Ming Dynasty was already very high.

Not only the seasoning of snowflake salt, but also the most famous Jingshi Mansion newspaper in Ming Dynasty, which will be delivered as soon as it arrives at the border.

Including some precious tea leaves, porcelain, and even the rouge gouache that was famous for the concubines and imperial masters in the Elbek harem.

Almost every month, a batch of Jingshi's luxury series will be delivered.

There are some in the capital, and there will naturally be ones here in Eleboke.

Like the well-known snacks, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty will directly send cooks over to make them for Eleboke on the spot.

It was such a sweet touch.

As the saying goes, cannibalism has short mouths and short hands.

Originally, Eleboke still hesitated about the matter of Hanchen in the Northern Yuan Dynasty mentioned earlier, but now, he simply didn't think about it so much.

In Eleboke's heart, the great grandson of Ming Dynasty really treats himself as his own uncle, and there must be His Majesty's meaning here.

Sure enough, His Majesty has not forgotten me.

This also strengthened Elebok's determination to form an alliance with Daming. As for those Hanchens, it was irrelevant.

Let them stay in Beiyuan, and they will support their younger brother, it would be better if they go back to Daming.

After the early dynasty of the Northern Yuan Dynasty ended.

Ou Anmin also went back to his big tent.

Everything is good on the grassland, but it is inconvenient without a city.

Nomads live by water and grass, and the earliest function of the city is to hoard supplies and buy and sell.

Beiyuan didn't have much business or material hoarding, even Wang Ting was a big account.

But to take care of the Han courtiers, the big tent has the characteristics of the Central Plains.

"Ou Yushi, I heard that His Majesty has been considering the construction of the city recently, and I don't know if it will be implemented."

"If we can really build a city, then we don't have to be wandering with Bianfei all the time, and our lives can finally settle down."

A familiar Han minister said with a smile beside Ou Anmin.

This matter has only recently been mentioned in the court.

The key lies in the corn feed provided by Daming.

Originally, cattle, sheep and horses were kept in captivity, and it was necessary to always chase aquatic plants in order to be able to raise them.

Now that Daming provides corn feed, it is completely different. These are more plump than forage, and the price is not too high. They can be raised in a fixed area.

Under such circumstances, it seems that the Northern Yuan court can stabilize here without having to run around.

Correspondingly, someone proposed the idea of ​​building a city.

Elebok Khan also agrees with this idea.

But building a city is not something that happens overnight, it is easier said than done.

Bei Yuan has just recovered a bit, so it needs to be more stable.

When Ou Anmin heard this, he snorted coldly.

Said: "Don't just focus on what is in front of you, you should know why everything in Beiyuan is here."

"Da Ming's caravans have grabbed our throats. Once we have conflicts with Daming, do you think these caravans will come over?"

"Just like the previous embargo, the entire Bei Yuan will be withered again."

"At that time, it may be even more serious than before. When all the nobles, soldiers, and herdsmen are extremely dependent, we can only be led by the nose by Daming."

"Even if it is His Majesty, I am afraid that he would not dare to argue with Daming, otherwise the hearts of the people in the Beiyuan world will be overthrown, and the throne will be unstable."

"You said that at that time, Bei Yuan, is it still Bei Yuan's Bei Yuan?"

The Han minister who spoke earlier was speechless for a while after what Ou Anmin said.

After a long time, he said, "Ou Yushi, everyone can see and think of what you said."

"However, what can be done?"

"This grassland is not like the Central Plains. There is nothing but a vast expanse at a glance."

"The current situation of Daming is already far surpassing that of Beiyuan. In the entire grassland, who can be compared with Daming?"

"Depending on Daming, there is no way to do it, at least for now, no one can do anything about Daming."

"The great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, you also saw how young he is, but he is only at the age of the crown."

"If there are no other accidents, in the next few decades, we should not have any ideas, we can't fight against it."

"Since we can't resist, why don't we follow along? Anyway, look, our life is much better now. Let alone the herdsmen, even the slaves can eat a bite of dry food. What a wonderful thing."

"We are all old, how can we compare with these, let's just live like this."

"Being a monk for a day and ringing the clock for a day is not bad."

Ou Anmin suddenly felt a burst of sadness after listening to it.

It seems that what I insisted on suddenly disappeared.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. At the beginning, he followed to this grassland and served as a minister in Beiyuan. He refused Daming's solicitation, so naturally he looked down on Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, there are many people who look down on Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is especially true in the circle of scholars, like Ou Anmin's generation.

What kind of thing is he, Zhu Yuanzhang, he is just the head of Guizhou.

Since ancient times, which emperor is not a famous family, Zhu Yuanzhang is a serious farmer with no background at all.

Even if it is to gain the world temporarily, it is similar to crowning the monkey.

That is to say, the rebels who have experienced the past dynasties, this emperor's position can sit for a few years.

So with this in mind, Ou Anmin resolutely refused to recruit from Daming, and followed Bei Yuan.

From a strategic point of view, it can be regarded as avoiding the melee in the Central Plains first, and then recharging your energy to enter the Central Plains again to compete for the country.

This idea, in terms of the situation at the time, was actually not a problem at all.

However, what I didn't expect was that after Ou Anmin left here, the entire Central Plains suddenly settled down like this.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, the forces of all parties are like paper, without the slightest resistance at all.

The situation changed so fast that before he could react, Daming's country seemed to be stabilized all of a sudden.

This kind of speed is simply unbelievable.

In fact, Ou Anmin also regretted it, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Slightly sighed, no more words.

Thinking that I am already in my early sixties, I probably have half of my body buried in the ground.

Fortunately, there are still descendants of their own in Daming, and Xinzheng Ou's family is also developing well.

Even if this end fails, it doesn't matter much.

Ou Anmin knew very well that not only himself, but also the Han courtiers currently in the Northern Yuan Dynasty all had a way out.

There are many ways in Beiyuan here, all of which are transferred to their own family through the Shanxi merchants at the border.

After a few more years, when I can no longer work, I will return to my family to enjoy my old age.

Thinking of this, Ou Anmin's mentality doesn't matter anymore.

As soon as he arrived at the tent, Ou Anmin saw his servants waiting anxiously.

After seeing himself, he ran over quickly.

"Master, you can be considered to be back. The Daming caravan sent a letter from the master."

"I didn't think anything at first, but I just heard that other gentlemen seem to have encountered something, so I became a little anxious. You"

Ou Anmin immediately snatched the family letter from the servant, and immediately began to look through it.
