Chapter 111 Damn the Great Zhou profiteers, they took all the tribe’s money
Minghui nodded: "It is a kind of bacterial liquid extracted from green bacteriocin."
"Although this living pill cannot be said to cure a person's death, its effect is very miraculous."
"I have written down the diseases that the living pill can cure on a piece of paper, and the instructions for use are also on it."
"When you go to Mobei, you can use medicine as a guide to preach the Dharma."
Taoist Priest You Ran immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Little Heavenly Master!"
The King of Mobei's delegation had a great harvest.
By the time they left, the Mobei King's envoys had become a huge group.
Just before they left Kyoto, Jingzhao Yin suddenly stopped them.
The leader of the delegation knew that Jingzhao Yin Fan Jian was a popular figure around the emperor.
Could it be that Your Majesty wants to go back on your word?
Or is it that His Majesty's magnanimity is just superficial?
But he was overthinking it. The officials of Jingzhao Yin conveyed Fan Jian's order.
From now on, all minor criminals in Kyoto will be exiled to Mobei.
The officials of Jingzhao Yin directly brought in hundreds of prisoners.
These prisoners were all petty thieves, but the leader of the delegation was delighted.
The people of Kyoto are of higher quality than those in ordinary places!
Moreover, these criminals are all brave men, and some are even disciples from small sects.
The envoys of the King of Mobei, leading thousands of people, returned to Mobei in a mighty force.
The Mobei Palace was built on the site of the Lone Wolf City.
Before the King of Mobei came to establish his fiefdom, he brought many people with him based on his previous connections.
Including the canal workers and criminals who were exiled because of the Huaihe Rebellion, the King of Mobei had tens of thousands of people under his command.
The food, drink, defecation and urination of these tens of thousands of people made the King of Mobei very worried.
It turns out that ruling a territory is so difficult!
The more this happened, the more King Mobei felt that Li Tian was unfathomable!
He was scratching his head while managing a vassal state, but Li Tian felt very relaxed when managing the Great Zhou!
This is the gap!
King Mobei never admitted defeat in his life, but now he did.
His Majesty is His Majesty!
The King of Mobei and the young prince Li Guangmao have completely lost their former spirit.
It would be good enough if you just manage your fiefdom well. How dare you covet China?
Just crazy!
Currently, all the arms and food needed by Mobei have to rely on trade with Da Zhou.
Rebellion? What to rebel with?
Now the Sixth Prince also understood Li Tian’s confidence in dividing the fiefdom.
That is the confidence in national strength!
In order to make more money and support tens of thousands of people in the territory.
The King of Mobei summoned merchants from the vassal states and asked them to go deep into the tribes of Beimang to trade.
These merchants were also the profiteers who were arrested during the previous river transport chaos.
There is no businessman without fraud, and these businessmen are gamblers who love adventure!
I lost all my money in Kyoto last time, and this time I came to Mobei just to make a comeback!
They didn't expect that it was so easy to make money in Beimang!
It is absolutely correct to say that these Northern Mang people are nouveau riche.
The finest fur, made simply into a dirty coat.
If these were made into clothes, they could be sold for several taels of silver in Kyoto!
Precious medicinal materials such as Cordyceps and ginseng were not properly preserved.
Pottery and tea, which were not valuable in the Great Zhou, could be sold at high prices on the grassland.
The most profitable things among them are strong liquor and ecstasy powder!
These unscrupulous businessmen discovered that many tribal leaders were addicted to the Ecstasy Powder!
Whenever they saw the merchant group, the Northern Wild Knights who were good at drawing bows and riding horses would surround them and ask to buy the Soul-Stirring Powder.
This is especially true for the Beimang tribes that are closer to Mobei.
Ordinary herdsmen could not afford the ecstasy powder, so they started to drink heavily.
The north is bitterly cold, and drinking can warm the body.
Some of the higher-ups were taking ecstasy pills, the lower-ups were drinking heavily, and even no one was taking care of the livestock.
These unscrupulous businessmen simply bought the livestock and resold them to the Great Zhou, where they could exchange them for a lot of silver!
Because there were too many merchants pouring in, and the tribes around the Mobei King's fiefdom were the territory of Luzhou merchants.
These Kyoto merchants were so inward-looking that they simply carried liquor and ecstasy powder and went deep into more remote areas.
This also created a strange phenomenon.
The King of Mobei has been in office for so long, but the Northern Mang has never attacked once!
Away from the big spectrum!
Lanlu tribe.
This is one of the eight Northern Mang tribes closest to the Lone Wolf Tribe.
The Khan of the Lanlu tribe was named Qihar, an old man with white hair and wrinkled face.
The Lanlu tribe is proficient in raising livestock and is the richest of the eight tribes in Beimang.
But Qihar discovered that the wealth of the Lanlu tribe was suddenly disappearing rapidly!
It’s all because of that group of damn Great Zhou merchants!
The territory of the Lanlu tribe is full of profiteers from the Great Zhou!
Their goods are irresistible to the entire tribe!
Just the day before, Qihar's most valued grassland warrior died suddenly from taking too much Ecstasy Powder.
This made Qihar completely determined.
"Pass on my order! From now on, the Lanlu tribe will not allow merchants from the Great Zhou to enter!"
"Also, all those in my Lanlu tribe who took the Ecstasy Powder will be demoted to slaves!"
The subordinates around him recorded all the Khan's orders and stamped them with the Khan's seal.
The heralds, with small flags tied to their horses, shuttled among the tribes like birds, announcing the Khan's orders.
Zhao Laosan was once one of the big grain merchants in Kyoto!
Now he is just a small businessman under the command of King Mobei.
Last time when he stockpiled goods at Qiju, His Majesty did not take his life. Zhao Laosan is already deeply grateful to the Emperor!
This time, the King of Mobei brought him to Mobei to make a fortune, so Zhao Laosan simply sold all his property and followed him.
Zhao Laosan’s caravan was obviously a long-distance caravan.
The goods were loaded on carts and pulled by horses or oxen.
There were hundreds of guards, all mercenaries hired by Zhao Laosan.
The grassland is different from the territory of Da Zhou. It is full of Beimang tribes.
The people from the Northern Mang who were just doing friendly business with you might suddenly draw their weapons and rob the caravan.
So guards are a must.
Zhao Laosan also has dozens of martial artists under his command.
They were all members of the Cao Gang hired and guaranteed by Zhao Laosan from among the prisoners exiled from the Huai River.
The members of the Cao Gang do not have to do hard labor in Mobei, all because of the guarantee of Zhao Laosan.
So they are still very loyal to Zhao Laosan.
The entire caravan also had more than a dozen musket barrels.
The Caogang members on the Huai River had seen the power of the musket barrel and highly praised this firearm.
So they actively encouraged Zhao Laosan to buy more than a dozen.
Such a caravan, loaded with strong liquor and ecstasy powder, was turned away by a tribe under Lan Lu.
Zhao Laosan's face turned blue.
If we go to another tribe and fail to sell the goods, we will suffer a huge loss.
If we return to Mobei now, the losses will be unbearable.
Zhao Laosan bet his entire fortune on this business.
At night, in the tent.
Zhao Laosan asked the guards and servants around him:
"Everyone, the Lanlu tribe has banned trade with our Great Zhou. What do you think?"
A member of the Cao Gang with a fierce look said:
"Master, point the barrel of your musket at them! Then they will know who is in charge here!"
These members of the Cao Gang were born as desperate criminals.
Zhao Laosan is not an ordinary person either.
After everyone discussed it, they immediately decided that they must not go back like this!
