Blood from Daming

Chapter 90 Family Letter
Xue Yun just told Hari Zhula that he was not interested in Bumbutai, a little yellow-haired girl, but he fought with Huang Taiji to death and finally returned Bumbutai. Huang Taiji might not buy it, and the court couldn't help it. Explain, besides, I, Xue Yun, is also a person who wants to save face. Xue Yun coaxed Hari Zhu to wait for Huang Taiji to retreat. After this period of time, he asked Bumu Butai to find someone to marry. It is not impossible for Huang Taiji to consider .

Xue Yun asked about the situation of the Anti-Gold National Guard Army, and Harijula ​​said: "Uncle Gilgrad has recruited [-] warriors from various Mongolian tribes. According to your instructions, go to the south of Datong for a few laps. Now go to the merchants on the Xuanfu side. The team is basically gone."

Xue Yun: "Then did you make a fortune again and steal a lot of property?"

Harijula: "It's just that I robbed it twice, but I drove it out a few times and went to the Xuanfu. Now my subordinates are still very dissatisfied."

Xue Yun: "First of all, you should understand that you are the wife of a Han Chinese. Secondly, if we attack too hard, dead sheep will not be able to give birth to lambs in the future. We just need them to be obedient and obedient."

Harijula: "How can I answer Bayar tomorrow what my brother said?"

Xue Yun: "Just say that Bumbutai is already my woman, and there is absolutely no reason to return it. The lamb in the wolf's mouth spit it out. Ask your brother if he is a descendant of the golden family, and the body keeps it. Is it the blood passed down by Genghis Khan, the wolf man came and drove him out with a knife."

After Xue Yun, Ha Rizhula, Ao Lan, and Lianzi had dinner together, Xue Yun dragged Harijula ​​into the inner room, and Harijula ​​thought that Xue Yun was going to mess around again.

In fact, Xue Yun just discussed with him and hoped that Harijula ​​could try his best to persuade Wu Keshan to deal with the Jianzhou Jurchen. I shook my head secretly. Fortunately, I can use it to improve my internal strength. It may not be a blessing for others to have more women, so I cheered up and worked hard to cultivate my own land.

Within two days, the caravan of the Xue family arrived in Datong City. The team was led by shopkeeper Chen of "Xue Ji Silk Cloth". The largest among the few, gathered several merchants in the capital and some small Shanxi merchants, and also brought news from Xue Yun's family.

Shopkeeper Chen and Xue Yun gave a general report on the operation of several shops in the capital: "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" is now operating in a lively and colorful palace, and Dongchang, Qinjun, and Jinyiwei are all taking care of business. Although many officials in the court have great opinions on Xue's family, but It didn’t affect the normal operation of the store. Not counting the half-year profit of 8 taels for “Xueji Silk Cloth” in Datong, the business of “Sanjiang Huitong” is also very good. At the end of the year, the income of tens of thousands of silvers should be no problem. “Xinghua Restaurant” reopened for business Very good, the dignitaries in the capital now use "Xinghua Restaurant" as a status symbol. The restaurant has a small courtyard, and if you don't book in advance, there are no seats in the private rooms. The restaurant earns several thousand taels of silver every month. Because it is taking the route of benefiting the people and protecting the capital, now it is just trying not to lose money and give some benefits to ordinary people.

Xue Yun: "Shopkeeper Chen, I have ordered someone to prepare the goods you need. You can go back as soon as possible after two days of rest. The situation in Datong is unpredictable now. Among the [-] army horses you brought back, you can sell them to the palace for business. If you need anything else, you can find Patriarch Jiang and ask him, he is familiar with Datong and the business is very fair." Shopkeeper Chen resigned and left.

Xue Yun looked at the letter from his grandfather Xue Rui and mentioned: The family is in good condition now, but the situation in the court is unpredictable. Okay, it's just that Mei Xiang, Xue Yun's little girl from Xue's house, is pregnant and is pregnant now. She was going to use family law to deal with it, but Mei Xiang insisted that Xue Yun's stomach was made the day Xue Yun left, so I came to ask if there was any answer things and so on.

Xue Yun thought to himself that she was the one who took care of it, but he always thought it was Ni Hongshuang or Ms. Chen, but he didn't think it was her sister Mei Xiang. At that time, he thought that she couldn't be hooked on Mei Xiang because of her extraordinary temperament, so she went back and dressed Mei Xiang well. See if you have the temperament of a lady.

Xue Yun called Xue Siyuan in, and Xue Siyuan handed over the letters from Wu Hui, Xue Er, Xue Si, and the youngest Mao. Xue Yun looked at these letters and felt a little stressed, and he almost couldn't take care of them. Wu Hui's letter Xue Yun was so warm and moved by the feeling of nostalgia that he couldn't help thinking of going home.

Xue Yun was in a daze for a long time before picking up the second letter. It seems that Uncle Xue mentioned that the fort has been repaired, but the inside is completely empty. This year's harvest is good, but the population is increasing, but there is still food shortage. I fed a lot, and put fish fry in the pond. There are more than 100 people in the village protection team, and they began to assist Xue Er and the others in transporting grain and goods. Now Xuezhuang is a transfer station. , The shortage of food in Zhuangzi was provided by Xue Er's transfer station. Xue Zhuang organized a transportation team to work while training soldiers and so on.

Xue Er's letter mentioned that the shopkeeper Chen brought the grain ship to the border of Cangzhou. This time, he did the five-ship grain business. He bought a batch of Mongolian and Jurchen northern goods from "Xueji Silk Cloth" nearby and sold it to the shopkeeper Chen. The shopkeeper Chen was very satisfied. , the journey back is much shorter, and the profit of Beihuo in Jiangnan is very thick, which is several times that of his grain business. Shopkeeper Chen will come again a few years ago, hoping that the young master can buy some wild ginseng that look like good leather goods. Cargo, I trained 1000 cavalry with Xue Wu, but I was short of horses. I followed Xue Yun’s father to suppress some bandits in the south of Zhili, started a business, and collected taxes. There is no major problem. Xuezhuang’s grain transport team is ready to train. Quasi-armed forces, guaranteeing the transportation channels for Xue's army, etc.

The youngest Mao’s letter was a package. When he opened it, there was a hand-embroidered satin vest and a letter. Xue Yun pulled out the letter paper, which was written by Ni Hongshuang. "Wu Ji Rice Shop" is a variety of businesses. It is aimed at housewives, depositing and lending money and things. Small profits but quick turnover. There are also gifts for regular customers. At the end of the year, "Wu Ji Rice Shop" has a certain amount of money back. Now "Wu Ji Rice Shop" The business is very prosperous, and the profit income of food is in a secondary position.

The hand-embroidered satin vest was given to Xue Yun by Ms. Chen. There is no message, but the meaning of the vest is caring, and no matter how stupid people are, they will understand Ms. Chen's thoughts.Only Mei Xiang didn't have anything, whether she hated herself for not letting Erniang go, or blamed herself for raping her, she could only guess wildly.

Xue Yun told Xue Siyuan: There will be two thousand military horses returning to the capital with the caravan, one thousand of them will be used by Xue Ershu and Xue Zhuang, and a batch of northern goods will be prepared for Xue Ershu and Xue Fourth Uncle, let Xue Siyuan and the others rest for two days, and the brigade will return. When I was in the capital, I came to the General Military Mansion to take away the letters and items for the mistress Wu Hui and the things for Xiao Xue's Mansion.

Two days later, Lin Dan Khan of Chahar led an army of [-] troops to the border of Datong Prefecture. The Horqin Wu Keshan tribe took the initiative to retreat to the northeast and approached his own Horqin tribe. Surrounded by the Horqin Department on three sides, it is time for Huang Taiji to make a major decision.

Xue Yun immediately arranged for Shopkeeper Chen, Xue Siyuan and the merchants who came with them to leave as soon as possible. The merchants have already conducted barter transactions with the government or businessmen in Datong, which greatly shortened the time they stayed in Datong, and the profits were still very rich. This is also helpless, the Mongolian army is coming, if you don’t leave quickly, maybe you won’t be able to leave at that time, so the merchants hurriedly drove a large number of army horses, cattle and sheep, and northern goods along the way they came.

When the envoy of Chahar Lin Dan Khan arrived, Xue Yun knew that Lin Dan Khan's target was Huang Taiji, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief. Lin Dan Khan's envoy presented a hundred horses to Xue Yun, a brave general of the Ming Dynasty. Yun specially presented a BMW horse from the Western Regions, Taxue Wuhen, which is more than one foot long, with the body of the horse shoulder-length, and the whole body is snow-white, also known as Treading Xueqianli Cong.

Xue Yun was very happy and immediately welcomed the envoy of Lin Dan Khan. The envoy explained the purpose of his visit: Lin Dan Khan was asked by his tribe for help, and Huang Taiji ordered his soldiers to massacre the Mongolian tribesmen for no reason. The Ming Dynasty had a good relationship, and Huang Taiji was a common enemy, so they came to invite each other to fight Huang Taiji, a traitor, together.

Xue Yun bragged to Lin Danhan in front of the envoy, saying that he would like everyone to meet and see the descendants of Genghis Khan from the golden family with his own eyes. The envoy felt like old friends at first sight with Xue Yun. .

When the envoy left the next day, Xue Yun also prepared a generous gift for Lin Danhan, including [-] pieces of Suzhou brocade, Nanjing top-quality suit rouge, ten pieces of gouache, a box of chicken tongue incense, ten pieces of Canaan incense, celadon One hundred flower plates, one hundred celadon flower bowls, and one bright armor made of refined steel from the Ming dynasty.

The envoy saw these gifts with a smile on his face and said yes again and again, and hoped that after the defeat of Huang Taiji, the two families could exchange materials. The eldest lady also complained about whether the gift was too heavy, Xue Yun explained that as long as Lin Danhan is willing to join hands with us to reduce the number of deaths, it is worth it.

Miss Yu sighed: "It's really a blessing to be your subordinate."

Xue Yun: "Isn't it good luck to be my woman? If you like that snow-riding horse, I'll give it to you if you like it."

Miss Yu: "Really, I don't feel sorry for giving away such a good horse."

Xue Yun: "White horses are obviously not suitable for war. You happen to like white horses. You usually ride on this horse, Treading Wuhen, and it looks even more beautiful. If you want it or not, just pretend I didn't say it."

Miss Yu: "You can't go back on what you said, this horse belongs to Miss Ben."

Xue Yun's soldiers ran over in a hurry: "General, the Liaodong traitor Li Sutai escaped from prison and killed one of our brothers. He has been caught, please send him to the general."

Xue Yun was very angry and those who dared to kill me said: "You picked Li Sutai's tendons and hamstrings, and loosened a few teeth. Don't let him commit suicide. Burn an iron chain and nail him under the wall of Ying'en Gate." .”
