Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Bu He was startled, and stood up directly from his seat, "Is what General Zhao said true? Building a city on this grassland is different from your Ming Dynasty. The soil on this grassland is soft and not suitable for building a city!"

Building a city on the prairie is something that Buhe has always dreamed of.

When the grassland comes to winter, the bitter cold is unbearable.Even the king's tent where Buhe lived could not withstand the strong wind in winter.

If there is a strong city, wouldn't it be possible to avoid the torment of the wind and snow?

Besides, if there is a strong city, then in winter, the herdsmen, cattle and sheep will be moved into the city.

In this way, cattle, sheep and herdsmen no longer have to suffer from severe cold.There will be many surviving cattle, sheep and herdsmen.

Moreover, building a city on the grassland can also increase the prestige of the tribe on the grassland, and it is also a symbol of strength.

Don't you see that the Tumed tribe is respected by the tribes on the grassland because of a big city, and it has been prosperous for so many years.

If the Horqin Department really has a strong city, wouldn't the Horqin Department want to prosper in its own hands?

If he has a strong city, and if he has hundreds of thousands of horses, defending the city, how can he be afraid of Huang Taiji?

Although Huang Taiji has many troops, it is far away from Liaodong, and the supply station is too long, so it is impossible for him to besiege the city for a long time.

In this way, wouldn't he sit back and relax?

Even if it is spring and summer to graze, the herdsmen can be sent out, and others will stay in the city.

The more Bu He thought about it, the more excited he became, and the way he looked at Zhao Wen changed.

"But the quality of the grassland is soft, mostly sandy soil, how to build a city in such a place?" Bu He looked at Zhao Wen worriedly.

For thousands of years, countless tribes have sprung up on the grassland, but why are there so few cities built on the grassland?

The fundamental reason is because of the soil quality, most of the grassland soil is soft sandy soil.It is really not easy to build a city on sandy land.

Moreover, this kind of soil cannot hold water and fertilizers.

In addition, the rivers on the grassland changed day by day, and the tribes lived by the water, so there was no need to build a city.

In fact, the bigger reason is the living habits of the nomads.

People on the grasslands have lived on horseback for thousands of years from childhood to adulthood.

Habits formed over the years are not so easy to change.

Compared with a hundred years ago, the population on the grassland has increased several times.

Today's grasslands are already overwhelmed.

Coupled with the fact that winter comes earlier every year, there are fewer people who can support them.

And the pastures of the Horqin tribe are only that big, so whether it is nomadic or not, that is the same thing for the Horqin tribe.

For today's Horqin tribe, building a strong city is more useful than having more pastures.

"Moreover, I can give your herdsmen a way to survive!" Zhao Wen said again.

Buhe's eyes lit up, if the herdsmen were given another way to survive, wouldn't our Horqin tribe be more prosperous?

Chapter 115 General Zhao, what do you think of my daughter?

"May I ask what is the way to survive that General Zhao said?" Bu He looked at Zhao Wen with his eyes wide open.

Zhao Wen chuckled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but it will definitely be more profitable than grazing. Oh, yes, you said that it is not easy to build a city on the grassland, but I also thought of this problem.

Although the grassland soil is soft, it is not a problem at all for me, Longmen Castle.By the way, you can ask Wu Keshan Taiji about this, he knows it well! "

Bu He looked at Wu Keshan and asked in a low voice, "You have stayed in Longmen Fort for such a long time, do you know?"

Wu Keshan thought for a while, then replied: "Father Khan, the people of Longmenbao are really good at building cities. Their city pools are made of something called cement, which is originally a kind of powder. You can mix it with water and mix it with water. When dried, it becomes as hard as a rock.

If we use this kind of thing to build our city, even if Huang Taiji pulls the red cannon from Shenyang City, it will be useless! "

"Is what you said true? Is this cement really as good as you said?" Bu He still couldn't believe it.

Looking at Bu He's suspicious expression, Zhao Daniu muttered, "Don't you look down on my lord? If my lord says it's okay, then it's fine."

Bu He hurriedly said, "I don't doubt General Zhao anymore, am I a little worried?"

"There's nothing to worry about. I'll keep it for you and make the city extremely strong!" Zhao Wen said resolutely.

"Then how much silver do you need to build the city?" Bu He asked worriedly.

Zhao Wen thought about it in his heart, and said, "If I build you a city four miles long and three miles wide, it will cost more than 20 taels of silver."

"20 taels? How little?" After hearing Zhao Wen's offer, Bu He felt relieved.

Over the years, the Horqin Department has also accumulated a lot of money.The 20 taels of silver is really nothing to Buhe.

Logically speaking, the construction of such a large city would cost at least 10 taels of silver.

Zhao Wen said with a smile: "Hehe, to build such a huge city, of course it takes more than this little money, but I have one more condition. If you promise me, I will only charge you so much money!"

"What conditions?" Bu He asked hastily.

"This is not a harsh condition. The condition I mentioned is that after the city is completed, I will station troops in the city and build workshops in the city. Of course, the troops I station are only to protect my workshops." Zhao Wen said lightly. road.

The workshop was established because the grasslands are rich in furs, and these furs can be made into fur clothes.

Even those cashmere, Zhao Wen has a way to make it into woolen wool.

Thinking of the woolen coats of a certain country during a certain war in later generations, Zhao Wen's heart became hot for a while.

Now that the Little Ice Age is still early in the past, and the weather is getting colder and colder, by then, the woolen coats produced will definitely be very popular.

Of course, the garrison is also to better control the Horqin Department.

In Zhao Wen's heart, there was a terrifying plan.

Controlling the Horqin Department now is only the first step.

"Garrison? This..." When Bu He heard that he was going to garrison troops in the city, he was in trouble for a while.

After the garrison, wouldn't the Horqin Department become a subordinate of the person in front of him?Will the Horqin Department be considered the Horqin Department at that time?

"What? You want to go back on your word? Do you know what the original intention of my coming here is? I originally wanted to rob you of the Horqin Department, but when I came, I changed my mind. I think, Borziji Tehan shouldn’t force me to implement the first plan, right? Don’t forget, there are tens of thousands of slave soldiers besides your tent?”

Zhao Wen looked at Bu He who looked embarrassed, and said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Bu He hurriedly said, "General Zhao, Xiao Khan didn't intend to force you against you, Xiao Khan just, Xiao Khan just..."

"Father Khan, we are not his opponents. Now that our Horqin Department has internal and external troubles, we can only agree to his terms." Wu Keshan leaned into Buhe's ear and murmured.

Wu Keshan lived in Longmen Fort for a long time, and he is quite familiar with Longmen Fort, and he is also very clear about Zhao Wen's strength.

Wu Keshan understood that if he did not agree to Zhao Wen's conditions, then Horqin might disappear in smoke.

Although Zhao Wen only brought hundreds of soldiers, don't forget that there are tens of thousands of slaves outside.

If both parties are offended at once, it will really be over.

Wu Keshan originally had a lot of resentment towards Zhao Wen, and anyone who was tortured by Zhao Wen would have a lot of resentment.

But it's been a long time, and coupled with the current situation of the Horqin Department, Wu Keshan also wants to understand a lot.

Hai Lanzhu opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhao Wen.

Although she couldn't understand the meaning of the two's words, she could also feel the threat from Zhao Wen's tone.

"You thief, what do you want to do?" Hai Lanzhu pointed at Zhao Wen's nose and cursed.

"Pearl?" Bu He glared at Hai Lanzhu and snorted coldly.

Everyone in the big tent looked at Bu He, and the pressure on Bu He increased a lot in an instant.

Zhao Wen sat in the center of the large tent, sipping the kumiss served.

Zhao Daniu looked at the hesitant Bu He, and said in a low voice, "I advise you to quickly agree to my lord's conditions, otherwise, just wait for it to be wiped out!"

Bu He heaved a sigh of relief and finally made up his mind.

"General Zhao, I agree with your terms!" Bu He imitated the manner of the Han people and cupped his hands at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "Haha, this is decent! Okay, it's settled. Tomorrow, I will help Huang Taiji's people."

When the people in the big tent heard that Bu He had agreed to Zhao Wen's conditions, they breathed a sigh of relief and felt much relieved.

The scene outside the big tent just now really scared them.

They were afraid that Buhe would not agree to Zhao Wen's conditions, which would cause a terrible disaster.

"Come here, this roasted whole lamb and roasted whole cow are also good, General Zhao will enjoy it!" Bu He stepped down from the main seat, took Zhao Wen's arm with his intact left hand, and smiled the way.

Zhao Wen was not polite either, and said with a smile, "That's a good relationship!"

"Hahaha, General Zhao is refreshing!"

Following Bu He's order, everyone sat around the fire in the big tent.

This is the custom on the grassland. When facing respected guests, they will sit around the fire and enjoy delicious food.

People on the prairie have no other advantages, but their drinking capacity is unambiguous.

After a few rounds of drinking, Zhao Wen's face became hot and his eyes were slightly blurred.But these Horqin people were not blushing or out of breath.

You know, the degree of this kumiss is not low.

Manzhu Xili squatted beside Buhe, singing Humai.

Like a starving ghost, Wu Keshan kept stuffing the meat cut off by the cook into his mouth.

Bu He picked up the kumiss and said to Zhao Wen, "General Zhao is young and promising, and his future is boundless. Come on, little sweat toast General Zhao!"

Zhao Wen picked up the kumiss and said with a smile on his face: "Haha, the Horqin Department is the same, haha!"

The wine glass touched lightly, Zhao Wen raised his neck and drank it down in one gulp.

Bu He put down his wine glass, wiped his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "General Zhao, I have another favor!"

Zhao Wen looked at Bu He suspiciously, and said, "What request? As long as it's not too ridiculous, I will agree!"

Bu He looked at Zhao Wen, then at Hai Lanzhu who was sitting beside him drinking kumiss, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said firmly, "I wonder how General Zhao thinks of my daughter?"

"Dang!"

The wine glass in Zhao Wen's hand fell to the ground, and Zhao Wen froze on the spot, looking at Bu He in shock.

Everyone in the big tent looked at Bu He in shock.

Da Khan was finally willing to marry the pearl on the grassland, even though he was marrying a Han.

Hai Lanzhu was the first to react. She pointed at Zhao Wen and said anxiously to Bu He, "Abu, you, you, you, you, are you going to marry me to this Han? He is a Han, and he is still A cunning and shameless Han!"

"What do you know? Shut up!" Bu He looked at Hai Lanzhu sternly and scolded.

Zhao Wen also hurriedly said: "Khan, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!"

"What's not suitable, I think it's very suitable! Although Hai Lanzhu is a bit old, she is unique in this grassland. General Zhao Yingwei is extraordinary, you two are a good match!"

Bu He has been thinking about this since he agreed to Zhao Wen's conditions, if Hai Lanzhu were to marry Zhao Wen.Then his Horqin Department has a deeper relationship with Zhao Wen.

Even if the Horqin Department has become Zhao Wen's subsidiary, there is such a relationship.It is also impossible for Zhao Wen to be too harsh on the Horqin Ministry.

The Han people are not as ruthless and ungrateful as those ignorant Jurchens. The Han people pay attention to friendship the most. At that time, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to the Horqin tribe.

Even if there is no benefit, but with this relationship, even if they want to embarrass the Horqin Department, they will be more or less scruples.

Chapter 116 I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?

Zhao Wen looked at Bu He in a daze, and said slowly, "Are you serious?"

Bu He laughed and said, "Of course I'm serious. It's a beautiful thing for me to marry my little girl to you."

Zhao Wen looked at Buhe, and then at Hai Lanzhu.

"But I already have a fiancée in Longmen Castle, so if I marry Hai Lanzhu again, I'm afraid it won't be suitable?" Zhao Wen let out a long breath and said slowly.

The fiancee mentioned by Zhao Wen is Li Xiaoying.
