A series of good news, like a gust of cold air from Siberia blowing away the smog over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, made the people of Shengjing see the long-lost blue sky and white clouds again.

Based on the principle of putting the easy before the difficult, the negotiators of the two sides reached a preliminary agreement on the re-opening of trade activities and the types and tax rates of the two sides' trade.Although the food, iron and copper, gunpowder and weapons that Huang Taiji urgently needed did not appear in this trade list for the time being, it still made him quite excited.This already includes the necessities of life such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, wine, cloth, silk, and porcelain!It should be noted that not long ago, oil, salt and other items were also contraband in the trade with Liaodong.

The Liaodong side naturally exported fur, gold, ginseng, velvet, antler, beeswax, etc. Liaodong was overjoyed at the Southern Guangdong Army's proposal to purchase cowhide and wool.Although these wools can be used to weave some felts and blankets, they can only be used in some areas after all, and cannot expand the scale of export.Now that the Southern Guangdong Army is willing to ask for it, they are naturally happy to see it succeed.As for the export of cowhide, I am very happy. Anyway, if we slaughter the cow to eat meat, the cowhide will also be thrown aside.Apart from making some saddles and other leather goods, this thing doesn't seem to be of much use!

But in the eyes of the Southern Guangdong Army mission, whether it is cowhide or wool, they can go back and show off their achievements in front of the prince and many merchants!Wool, after cleaning, degreasing, combing, slivering, balling, and then combing and weeding, after dyeing, the wool balls in the previous process are combed, spun, and the wool is drawn (elongated and thinned) , while twisting (twisting the thread), through this process, the thread becomes thinner and thinner from the strip, and becomes stronger and stronger through twisting.Finally, the spun threads are plied into real wool by doubling.

As for those cowhide, I'm sorry, the expansion of new troops is in full swing everywhere.All kinds of equipment stored in the warehouse have been swept away, from backpacks, belts to medicine belts, everything is missing.More than a dozen factories are eagerly looking for high-quality cowhide everywhere.

Although Huang Taiji and his civil and military confidants did not approve the request of the Southern Guangdong Army to purchase horses in Liaodong and Mongolia out of their own safety considerations, they immediately agreed to the trade requirements for cattle, sheep and other by-products!

In order to show their generosity and sincerity.Huang Taiji specially ordered people to collect a batch of cowhide and wool from various places in Shengjing and Liaoyang, loaded them and shipped them to Jinzhou, and the Nanyue Army Mission shipped them to Dengzhou!

This move immediately caused prices in Shengjing to plummet again!

"Which one said that trade activities are going to be stopped? Isn't this the emperor personally ordering someone to deliver the items requested by the Nanyue Army to the sea ship, and they happily picked them up?"

"That's right! Not only do they want to continue to communicate with the Qing Dynasty, but I think the adults from the Southern Guangdong Army Corps even come to the street to buy things!"

The dozen or so officials sent by Li Huabao to Liaodong to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji and other Liaodong rebels could never have imagined that this time it would end without a problem. The diplomatic contacts where opinions were exchanged unexpectedly went so smoothly.

Huang Taiji not only signed and used his seal on the text of the peace treaty, but also agreed to the Nanyue Army's proposal to remove the emperor's title and disarm.Requests for loans, etc., even more proactively proposed to maintain the same standard of tariff rates for bilateral trade and inland tariffs, "this can also prevent smuggling and leakage by cunning villains." It is a country under the vassal of the Qing Dynasty. Since the Qing Dynasty has surrendered to Lord Li, North Korea is bound to be the only minister under the Lord Li's banner.Then, I, Huang Taiji, will make the decision for the king of Joseon, and let the islands and ports along the coast of North Korea be managed by Mr. Li!

Reciprocate.Within the authorization given to them by Mr. Li, the mission also proposed a labor export plan, which can temporarily relieve the food pressure in the Liaodong area.

"I ordered Mr. Fan to negotiate with the envoy of the Southern Guangdong Army, and the other party was sympathetic to our difficulties. They promised us [-] young adults to work in the farms of the Southern Guangdong Army in Denglai, Shandong, etc., such as dredging. River courses, reclaiming wasteland, grazing cattle and horses, raising chickens and pigs, etc. In addition to providing three meals a day, you can get two silver dollars a month as wages, how do you answer this matter?"

Sitting in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion, Huang Taiji's complexion was not a little bit better than the previous few days.His black face was full of red light, and his eyes were even wider, looking extremely energetic.

At this moment, he had already received a secret report from Sony. As the peace talks and trade became known step by step, the price of goods in Shengjing had fallen sharply.Right now, although a stone of rice has fallen to ten taels of silver a stone, there are still few people who care about it, but anyone who still has some rice at home is waiting to see how long it can fall.

Sonny has already started ordering people to take his name card and visit the homes of scalpers who have signed contracts with him and have usury debts. In fact, it sounds better to say a visit, but in fact it is no different from Mu Renzhi visiting Yang Bailao's house to pay New Year's greetings.The purpose is one, debt collection!

If it weren't for Sony's urgent debt collection, there wouldn't be so many gossips circulating on the streets of Shengjing. So-and-so's so-and-so's family had hanged themselves because they owed too much debt!The so-and-so banner guy, also because he couldn't pay his debts, took his wife and children out of Shengjing and plunged into the Hun River.

Of course, Sony's debt collection is divided into people and banners.Those who Huang Taiji thinks are useful and need to be wooed, Sony will appear in front of him at the moment when they have tied their belts to the beams, their necks are hung in a noose, and they are about to kick their feet one by one.

"Master thinks you are a talent, but it's a pity that you took a wrong step in a moment of confusion. I specially asked you, this slave, if you want to die or live?"

At this moment, no one wants to die.

Taking this opportunity, people can experience the prosperity of riches and magnates cooking oil and flowers blooming after walking around the circle between life and death, and also experience the gloomy and decadent face of death. olive branch.

Or, you continue to put your neck in the noose to seek relief, but even if you die, you have to pay back the debt you owed!Or, it is to be the emperor's slave completely.Loyal to the emperor!No longer just loyal to your banner master!

"Didn't the emperor always want us slaves to study the Three Kingdoms? To learn Guan Yu and Guan Ma's method, it is only natural to be loyal to the emperor's master!"

So, the slaves who originally belonged to Manchuria with the Blue Banner and Manchuria with the Red Banner, faced the carrots and sticks waving in the hands of the Mu Renzhi sent by Sony.Very wisely, he chose to be loyal to the emperor and be his servant.

"We are slaves to contribute to the emperor and the masters. To be loyal to the emperor is to be loyal to the master. Masters can't always say that it is wrong for us to be loyal to the emperor?" Many people are looking for a theoretical basis for their betrayal.

Taking advantage of this turmoil, Huang Taiji quietly consolidated and expanded his strength and influence.

However, news soon came.The Mu Renzhi sent by Sony encountered their opponents!

When Mu Renzhi and others are collecting debts, it is unfortunate that such a situation will appear.

"I said Mr. Le, you see that the contract you signed with my master has your fingerprints. It was agreed to pay the money and pick up the goods on a certain day. But a lot of days have passed, and I haven't seen you pay the money, and I haven't seen you pick up the goods. According to the agreement in the document, if you don't pay the money or pick up the goods after a certain period of time, our master should take back your deposit and the goods. But, the interest was agreed on that day, and it will be returned twenty times out of ten. You should consider this matter what to do?"

Third Master Le had to be polite and make amends with Mu Renzhi and others. Who made himself sign the prostitution papers and lost the bet?Enjoying good tea and cigarettes, good wine and good meat, but Mu Renzhi and others are not willing to let go at all, either you give money, or you think of other ways.You are the master and the master, don't make things difficult for us slaves!

"Who is it? I'm blocking the door to collect debts from my third brother Le?"

A very confident and extremely arrogant voice came from outside.Before the words fell to the ground, several men in white flag uniforms surrounded their master and walked in from the door.

"Brother Cao! Oh no! Cao Jueluo!"

Le Laosan immediately saw Cao Zhenyan walking into his yard surrounded by several house slaves wrapped in clothes and surrounded by stars.He also participated in the Battle of Tashan, and he is no stranger to Cao Zhenyan, an upstart in Manchuria with a white banner.However, that day he served as Jialazhangjing under the Manchurian banner of the Xianglan Banner.Naturally, he was full of envy, jealousy and hatred towards Cao Zhenyan, a lucky slave, who became a red belt Jueluo in one fell swoop because of a step of shit luck.Even in Tashan Fort, when the two yellow flags ran against Cao Zhenyan, he once sneered from the sidelines.

However, the current him is like a drowning man seeing a piece of wood, whether it is a piece of wood or a crocodile.You have to climb up and try your luck.At least, with Jue Luo, Cao Zhenyan, present, these lackeys and evil slaves of the Sony family dare not be too unreasonable.

Le's third son, Fujin's son, gave up his seat to Cao Zhenyan himself as if he had seen a savior, and brought a bowl of tea.Cao Jueluo consciously swung the red belt around his waist outward, so that the coats under Sony's door could be seen more clearly.

"Are you the coat under Lord Sonisso's door?"

After all, Cao Zhenyan is Jueluo, not to mention these coated slaves, even Soni himself would have to salute and salute him before he can pass the test.There is no way, this is the system of the Qing Dynasty.Even in the Kangxi Dynasty, even if the slave was in the first rank of the dynasty and the master was reduced to carrying a big man on the street, the master dared to block the slave's eight-carried sedan chair and let the slave carry it for him.Even if the master is very unwilling, there is no place to justify and cry.No way, this is the cornerstone of the Eight Banners, the system.

"Recalling Master Luo's words. The few of us are the coat-coated servants under Lord Sonisso's sect. Because Lord Le and our master have made an agreement, and now the day has come, the servants have come out to disturb Lord Le's mansion under the order of the master. The purpose is to share the master's worries and problems, and there is no other meaning. I don't know what Jue Luo is doing at this time today? Jue Luo has made great achievements in battle, and is the top figure in the hearts of us slaves. If you can’t flatter me, I will definitely serve Master Jue Luo well, Master Jue Luo has a lot of people, so I don’t think he will embarrass us!”

After all, he is a servant of the Suo family, and he has been trained well on weekdays.What he said was soft but hard, neither humble nor overbearing.A few words blocked Cao Zhenyan to death, and blocked his excuses and reasons for possibly defending the youngest.

"Hey! What do I think is the matter! After all, isn't it that Le Lao San owes money to your master? Look at you slaves, such a mistake! Almost ran out of Le Lao San At any rate, he is here! Let me tell you, he is the two masters, Prince He Rui and Prince Yu, who, together with Ben Jueluo, survived the rockets and shells of that crazy woman Li Huamei in Tashan! The two masters are always in their hearts People! Don’t you just owe your master some money? Report the number!”

With more than 7000 silver dollars in profit, Cao Zhenyan sent these Mu Renzhi under Sony's sect to leave angrily, but Le Laosan was moved with tears in his eyes!Just now he had been tortured and rubbed by these group of house slaves, he was on the verge of collapse, and he touched the meat-eating knife on his waist several times, intending to end his rotten life.

"Hey! Third brother Le. What are you doing? You can't do it, you can't do it!" Seeing the whole family of Le Laosan kneeling in the yard, he couldn't help but kowtow to thank Cao Jueluo for his righteousness and help. Cao Zhenyan showed sincerity.Stretch out your hands to support Le Lao San and his wife.

"Everyone rolled out from under the shells on Tashan Mountain, so naturally we should help each other! Now that you have encountered some difficulties, I am also obliged to do so." Cao Zhenyan's words made Le Lao San's heart feel like hot coals were thrown on the fire. A bowl of vinegar is sour again.I was moved again.

"The two masters, Lord Rui and Prince Yu, also mentioned you third brother Le from time to time. To be honest, I also obeyed the order of Master Rui today. I heard that quite a few of our brothers who came out of Tashan together met If you are in trouble, come out and have a look. If you can help everyone, do your best to help!"

"What? Master Prince Rui is still thinking about me, Le Laosan?" Le Laosan, as a Jialazhangjing of Manchuria with a blue flag, never dreamed that he would be remembered by Prince Rui Dorgon.

"That's true. To tell you the truth, the money that helped you save the siege just now was paid by Prince Rui. Otherwise, even though I, Lao Cao, have something to eat, I can't afford that much money right now!"

"Prince Rui, a great benefactor!"

"Prince Rui, good man!"

Such things are staged in different plots in every corner of Shengjing City.Those who played the positive roles of chivalrous heroes and rescuers were undoubtedly all kinds of people in Prince Rui's residence.And Yang Bailao and others who are bullied and debt-collected are the officers who cover the Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, Eight Banners Han Army, and even the Horqin Mongolian Prince and the Packed Soldiers.The ones who played the negative role were undoubtedly the house slaves of the Sony House.This kind of debt collection has always been hated by people, not to mention the excellent performances of these guys, which has pushed the hatred to the peak.

but.The hard work of these people made those Yang Bailao people have one thought in their hearts when they went to the gate of Prince Rui's residence to kowtow to thank them full of gratitude. "It's the master Prince Rui who preserved our decency, in this life. Even if we are smashed to pieces, we must repay the kindness of the master Prince Rui!"

Someone took the opportunity to make a fuss, "See! Master Rui is the timely rain in the Water Margin of Loyalty and Yi, and he is a master who values ​​benevolence and righteousness the most! Those of us who are lucky enough to follow such a master, that is our blessing!"

Dorgon spent hundreds of thousands of silver.He easily defended his basic situation, consolidated the Tashan system by the way, and extended his hand into the other five banners, competing with Huang Taiji for the hearts of the people both openly and secretly.This point, if Huang Taiji sitting on the Ten Kings Pavilion didn't know, it would be so strange!

Therefore, Huang Taiji will take advantage of this moment of exporting labor services to continue to weaken the strength of the other five banners, and send as many of their bannermen as possible to Shandong to serve as cattle and horses for Li Huayu, and let them give to the banner masters. They make money.He didn't believe that after this turmoil, those Banner masters who almost pawned off Fujin's trousers would be able to resist the temptation of two silver dollars per month!

"Your Majesty, none of Mr. Li's subordinates have said whether the wages are for silver or can be converted into goods purchased locally in Shandong?"

Sure enough, someone couldn't hold back anymore, and jumped out to bargain first.He played his abacus very loudly and shrewdly. Two silver dollars can't buy you much in Liaodong, but it's different in Dengzhou!It is said that the prices there, whether it is food or cloth, are more than [-]% to [-]% lower than those in Shengjing!There is such a huge gap, how can they masters not play tricks on the face, falsely report false claims, erode and leak?

However, there are also those who have a clear understanding of Huang Taiji's actions.

"Your Majesty, the coat-coated slaves under this servant are living a difficult life at the moment, but they can still get by. This servant is willing to give up the amount that should be allocated to the Zhengbai Banner to the rest of the flags. This servant is even more daring, to replace Yu Prince Duo Duo decides to give up the amount that should be allocated to the inlaid white flag!" Duo ErGun's high integrity immediately won the approval of the other banner owners.Although the princes of Baylor under his banner were dissatisfied, but they were alone, so they couldn't say anything.

Although Azige didn't know what the purpose of the fourteenth brother's actions was, he had already made up his mind that as long as it was Dorgon's proposition, he would follow closely.

Zhenghongqi Manchuria also gave up the amount that they should share. This time, the rest of the five banners can be properly distributed to overcome the immediate barrier.

When he heard the ministers in charge of the banner under his banner discussing whether they should be distributed according to the number of cows or the number of people and soldiers, Huang Taiji, who was sore and angry in his heart, waved his hand angrily: "You guys are talking nonsense. My three younger brothers are all so sympathetic to my Eight Banners soldiers and civilians. Could it be that I am not as good as my younger brother? They are all idiots who are divided according to cattle records and population, soldiers and horses! More points! Those who have a large population under the flag will get less points! Let everyone survive the barrier in front of them!"

Huang Taiji's formulation immediately won the unanimous approval of the Eight Banners princes and ministers present.Originally! The quota of 5 migrant workers sounds like a lot, but if the eight banners were evenly distributed, each banner would only be able to allocate no more than 7000 people.After that, they will be distributed among the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Banners, and then distributed, each family will have no more than 3000 to [-] people.Not to mention alleviating the shortage of money and food in the banner, it is probably not enough to send Yu Ding and the coats from the homes of masters at all levels in the banner!

After a lot of noise and contention, the quota of 5 workers was finally distributed.The first batch of [-] people from the Eight Banners who went to Denglai to dig rivers happily set off from Shengjing and went to Jinzhou via Liaoyang.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that the Qing Emperor, their master Huang Taiji, actually saw them off outside Liaoyang City.

"Master, the slave must be in Dengzhou well, and earn some face for the master!" Tuha, as a slave under the Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria, respectfully kowtowed to the yellow dragon umbrella on the top of the city.

"Why, are you a servant of the Qing emperor?" On the side of the road, a leader of the Southern Cantonese Army who came to receive and manage these laborers asked Tuha in Manchurian.

"We are Boshiku from Manchuria in Zhenghuang Banner! Who are you?" Tuha involuntarily sniffed the smell of wine floating in the air with his nose, and the smell of wine came from the person in front of him.

"I am the team officer of your team. The Chinese name is E Kui, and my original name was Eguador!" E Kui untied the water bottle from his waist and handed it to the big man in front of him.It can be seen that this guy, like him, is also a good drinker.

After eating a mouthful of burning knife, a piece of dried meat filled his mouth with an aroma, and Tuha suddenly became a confidant with E Kui in front of him.He just felt that even if he changed positions with Huang Taiji who was at the head of Liaoyang City at this time, he would never change positions!

However, he never imagined that Huang Taiji, who watched them go away under Huanglong's big umbrella, had reached the last stop of his life.

"Master, right now our Qing Dynasty urgently needs manpower to restore the factories and mines everywhere. The slaves are a bit dull, why did the master send these tens of thousands of elites to Dengzhou?" At the top of the city, Huang Taiji specially called to his side Chen Banda was very puzzled by Huang Taiji's actions.

He was in charge of restoring the mines and workshops in Liaoyang and nearby Anshan. He only hated the lack of manpower under his command, but now Huang Taiji sent tens of thousands of young men to Dengzhou.If there is really a shortage of food and grass, it would be better to let these tens of thousands of people rush into the customs to loot them!

"You slave, you are good at smelting iron and casting cannons, you don't understand other things." Huang Taiji didn't bother to explain to Chen Ban.At this time, he was in a good mood, "What shall we have for dinner tonight?"

"Return to master, the new wheat has come down. If master is willing, the slave will steam some steamed buns below, how about asking master to appreciate it?" Chen Banda replied respectfully. (~^~)
