Mongolian tribes have never lived such a luxurious life.
They can use the gold and silverware of the Han people, and the livestock that were worthless before can now be sold for high prices, not only livestock, but also slaves.
Every winter, many slaves freeze to death. After the merchants come, the slaves can bring them a lot of income.
Whether it's sugar or salt, they can afford it.
Mrs. Darling felt that slaves were getting more and more expensive, and he was almost unable to buy slaves.
Merchants bid high prices for slaves and cattle and sheep.
More and more nobles choose not to sell cattle and sheep, but slaves can be sold.
After all, a few slaves can drive a herd of cattle and sheep.
It is useless to have too many slaves.
Besides, there is no war now, and even if there is a war, these slaves can't be soldiers.
The slave owners also disliked too many slaves, which cost too much food. As for slaves, as long as they could drive cattle and stock herds, it was enough to do some heavy work, and too much was troublesome.
So most of the slaves were taken away, leaving only a small number of slaves.
But slaves continued to be produced, and new commoners became slaves every day.
There are even nobles who use trumped-up charges to make commoners into slaves, and then sell the slaves to merchants.
The huge profits made people flock to them, and everyone was blinded by the benefits at their fingertips. Some of the nobles still kept their senses and warned everyone that it was a conspiracy of Mingren.
Bayar was a Mongolian noble who was not stunned by interests.
He also summoned his companions who had the same idea as him, and went around, trying to persuade the nobles.
But every time they return with a feather.
He said: "Without slaves, our cattle and sheep, our palaces and houses, who will build them?"
But the nobles said: "Slaves will have children, they are always born, and there are common people who make mistakes. Even if we sell all the slaves now, there will be more and more slaves soon."
Bayar added: "Ming people sold us sugar and salt at a low price, and bought our cattle and sheep at a high price. They have sinister intentions! Once they don't sell us sugar and salt, they will no longer buy our cattle and sheep. ,what should we do?"
The nobles said again: "Did we starve to death before they appeared? Now they spend money to buy our cattle and sheep, and they send good things over, and they don't take advantage of it. Are you stupid? "
No matter what Bayar said, the nobles had something to say against him.
Even Bayar's father sold his slaves.
Bayar asked his father, "You know me! How can you sell your slaves!"
Standing in front of his father, he was already taller than his father, and he was so angry that he clenched his hands into fists.
Bayar's father was startled by his son's appearance, and then roared: "What do you want! You run around all day, do you know how much cloth and sugar a slave is worth now?"
"Everyone else is selling it, why can't I sell it!" Bayar's father slapped his son.
The slap hit Bayar in the face, more like it was in Bayar's heart, he fell to the ground and looked up at his father.
Is this old and mean man really the indestructible Mongolian warrior he thought
Bayar's father also regretted a little after beating his son, but I couldn't apologize to his son. He stared at him and said dryly: "Bayal, look at our house and outside, everyone else is living a good life. , do you want me to eat bran choy?"
At this time, Bayar finally realized that he couldn't stop it.
No matter how hard he tried to stop him, no one would listen to him.
No matter how reasonable his words are, no matter whether those people know that this is not good for the tribe, they will not stop, the meat has reached their mouths, and no one will give up.
"Hahahahahaha!" Bayar laughed, his face crazy.
Compared with Bayar, Tuotuo and Ha Cizhang have now become the guests of the tribe. After all, they are Mongolians, and they are more close to each other. Tuotuo is a Mongolian after all, and his heart is not without struggle, but he also sees When the Mongolians lived in the Central Plains, their children could go to school with the Han children, and they could also live the life of the Han people.
Don't worry about being hungry.
But he felt guilty no matter what.
This sense of guilt made him feel the pain even with a smile on his face.
Compared with Tuotuo, Haszhang didn't have such a big inner struggle.
Haszhang has lived in Dadu since he was a child, which is the capital of today. Although he also received the education of Mongolian nobles, he has become accustomed to life in the Central Plains.
He used to yearn for a life on the grasslands, for the feeling of freedom and being able to ride a horse.
But when he really came to the grassland, he realized that what he yearned for was not this kind of life.
The Mongolians on the grasslands, only the nobles can live the life he imagined, and the commoners, even the slave owners, can't live a good life. .
There are also wolves. For ordinary Mongolians, life seems to be a day by day. This year has passed, and I don’t know how next year will be.
Before the Yuan Dynasty, they could not even buy salt.
Now nobles wear silk and cotton-padded clothes sold by Ming people and drink fine wine sold by Ming people.
They can buy everything except the beauties and weapons of the Ming Dynasty.
There were no such days even in the Yuan Dynasty.
Haszhang watched the absurd lives of the Mongolian nobles day after day.
They don't care what kind of life the commoners are living, they only care whether they are doing well or not.
Even Hazazhang knew that many commoners couldn't make it, and let the merchants buy them and let them work like slaves.
Because as long as the money is paid off, they can enter the city and become the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Their children can study, they can also earn money to buy a house, and they no longer need to rely on the sky to eat on the grassland.
Merchants were reluctant to buy civilians.
Then the most absurd thing happened, that is, the common people made mistakes and wanted to become slaves.
Of course, the nobles would not go into the reasons for it. They were worried that there were fewer slaves, and it was an opportunity to fill in another batch.
The commoners became slaves, the slaves were sold by the merchants, and these slaves would eventually become the common people of the Ming Dynasty.
Ha Cizhang said to Tuotuo: "Dad, I think they are not as good as pigs."
Tuotuozheng took off his shoes and soaked his feet, bitterness in his mouth, he said, "The situation is just pressing."
What if you can see through it
All the nobles are crazy, and now tell them that they must draw a clear line with the merchants and can no longer enjoy luxury, will the nobles agree
The more you see, the more painful it is.
Ha Zizhang handed the towel to Tuotuo: "Dad, we'll go back after finishing the work, why are you worrying about them?"
Tuotuo: "It wasn't like this before..."
The Mongolian folk customs in the past were simple and simple. Although there were always battles between tribes, the backbone of the Mongolian warriors never bent.
But now, the nobles are having fun all night long, and the commoners are quite slaves.
Everything is messed up, and it will continue to mess up, until the end...
Tuotuo sighed: "It's time for us to go back."
The longer he stayed, the more miserable he became.
He watched helplessly as his fellow clan walked into the abyss step by step, but he couldn't say a word.
On the day that Tuotuo and Ha Zizhang returned to Beijing, many people came to see them off. The nobles wanted to kill them when they first came, but now they sent them away with eager expressions. The benefits brought to them by Hazhang Zhang.
With Tuotuo and Hazazhang there, they can also find excuses for themselves.
They also knew that it was impossible for Akito to be so kind to them all of a sudden, but they didn't want to give up the benefits they got, so they made a reasonable excuse.
The benefits are not given to them by Mingren, but Tuotuo.
Tuotuo is a Mongolian, and the Mongolians will not harm the Mongolians.
Tuotuo also saw their self-deception, but everyone deceived themselves, and no one cared what the truth was.
Ha Cizhang had already been waiting to return to Beijing. The days in Mongolia could not be compared with those in the capital. What's more, he wanted to go back to see Chu Lin earlier, and he didn't know if he had left these days. Did Chu Lin miss him? They still made an appointment. Alright, let's go have a drink together.
There are many bathhouses in the capital now, and each one is better than the other. He has wanted to try it for a long time, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity.
When I go back this time, I have to convince Chu Lin to go with him. What's the point of staying in the city
When they left, they took a lot of Mongolian food with them, which was considered a taste of their hometown, although Haszhang had never stayed here.
Although merchants would buy Mongolian cattle and sheep, and slaves, they never bought Mongolian food.
The price of cattle and sheep quickly soared, and nobles would rather sell cattle and sheep to merchants than let commoners buy them.
If there is no meat to eat, there is no food in the grasslands. The merchants only sell gold, silver, jewelry and silk brocades, but they never sell food.
The nobles asked the merchants, and the merchants said that the people of Daming are in short supply of food right now.
But the nobles are not short of food, and the merchants will not sell them, but give them.
It's not much each time, but it's enough.
Nobles don't care how commoners eat.
They have their own food and meat, as well as countless gold and silver jewelry. Those things that only people in the Central Plains once had, they also have now.
The beauty is in her arms, and there are countless enjoyments.
Isn't this day better than before
In the past, it was said to be a noble, but it was no better than the commoners. At most, it was better to eat. These warriors were raised by their subordinates, but the warriors also had to eat, and the warriors also had to enjoy.
The Warriors also feel that life is better now.
They ate, drank, and had women, and occasionally hunted without encountering any danger.
Haszhang met a few friends in the grassland, all of them young people.
When they left, the group of young people saw off on horseback, and they also agreed to drink and eat meat together next time when Ha Zizhang came over.
Looking at the smiling faces of these young people, Ha Zizhang couldn't smile.
If... If His Majesty's wrists aren't as bloody as they used to be, maybe they'll have a chance to meet again.
