Prince Regent's Concubine

The reason why it was difficult to move an inch was not only the killers who came to assassinate one after another like leeks, but also the road was blocked by heavy snow.

The snow in the north is very deep, and it is almost knee-deep when you step on it. In addition, the snow is too heavy, and no one walks on the road for a long time. If you are not familiar with the road conditions, you dare not walk too fast.

The reinforcements led by General Li in front were not walking fast, and were groping step by step.The horse-drawn carts and wooden carts that transported grain and grass behind were even slower.

After the letter was delivered to the city, Zhizhou arranged for people to shovel the snow, and the people also heard that the food for the disaster relief from the imperial court had arrived, so they offered to help, which made it easier to walk.

The reinforcements are going to the most frontier of Dachu, they have to go straight ahead, and Xiao Chuyi's disaster relief team will first stop in Jiazhou, the first state, and discuss with the Zhizhou and all the officials in Jiazhou. Good disaster relief matters, and then we can move forward.

When he arrived in Jiazhou, Ling Qingshi went to meet the magistrate here, and he took them away the next day.

He doesn't understand disaster relief, Xiao Chuyi has more experience than him, he knows Kung Fu himself, and he has protectors around him, Ling Qingshi is not worried about his hidden guards, so he plans to do something he is good at, to give Xiao Chuyi helped out.

The destination of the Ling Qing Dynasty was the grassland tribes. There were many nomadic peoples in the north, and there were many tribes deep in the grasslands.Like the Ninggu Kingdom that attacked Dachu this time, it was composed of some grassland tribes. They established a country by themselves in an attempt to fight against Dachu.

In addition, there are many grassland tribes who do not want to participate in the disputes and just want to live in peace. Ling Qingshi is going to find these tribes this time.

He brought Bai Xue, two hidden guards, ten royal guards, a guide arranged for him by the prefect of Jiazhou, and another person named Zhou Cunli, who Xiao Chuyi wrote on the list to follow the disaster relief , in charge of the purchase.

Ling Qingshi didn't bring Zhou Cunli with him when he bought things at first, and later Xiao Chuyi recommended this person to him. Ling Qingshi simply told him about the big cakes he drew for the merchants when he was shopping, and then Zhou Cunli was haggling and fooling around. People are out of control on this road.

Ling Qingshi's method is actually very simple. He specially selects big merchants to buy things, and when he is done buying, he says that they are sent to the victims of the disasters in the northern border. After that, the things he buys are for the common people, and he will write them down on the disaster relief register. Where did you buy it, and how much money did you spend?If merchants are willing to make some contributions to the disaster victims in the northern border, they will also write it up. When the snow disaster in the northern border is over, they will naturally choose to spend money on shopping from merchants who have helped them.

Those who opened a store in the northern border can put a piece of paper at the door saying the disaster relief merchant, if not, just go to the northern border to open a store, and naturally there will be business.

The businessmen have the same name. If they give some discounts, the people in the three northern states will remember their business names. Naturally, these businessmen are not unwilling.In addition to this name and business, there are also people who can show their faces in front of the court by doing this. The court knows their goodness.

Ling Qingshi didn't ask for much, so he saved some if he could, but Zhou Cunli was fooling people, and if he gave you a bunch of things, he would be grateful to you for taking his things. Time self-awareness is incomparable, and because of this, Zhou Cunli followed him.

There were not many people, and because they had to travel, Ling Qingshi and his group did not bring much, only the salt and tea he bought on the road. Da Chu and the grassland tribes had not formally established a business relationship, only some bold businessmen dared to smuggle them in private. Change something, but not much.Because the tribes who were exchanged were not involved in the dispute, the imperial court occasionally cracked down hard, but they didn't kill them all. After all, this was the way for many people to survive.

On the way, Ling Qingshi knew about many grassland tribes from Xiao Chuyi, so Ling Qingshi chose the largest grassland tribe besides Ninggu.

After leaving the customs, the horse ran on the grassland for a full day before seeing the gathering place of the grassland tribe.

There may be tens of thousands of people in this tribe, and there are yurts all over the place. As soon as Ling Qingshi approached each other, they heard the movement and surrounded them with big knives.

The guide could speak the language of the grassland tribes, and after chatting with them for a while, they called an old man who could speak Chinese.

This old man should have a very good status in the tribe. Even though he was old, he still had these sharp eyes like eagles. When they looked at Ling Qing, they seemed to be watching prey.

"Big Chu people, what are you doing in our grassland?"

Ling Qingshi got off his horse and went straight to the point, "I'm here to make a deal with you."

The old man's eyes were full of scrutiny when he looked at Ling Qing, "You are not like businessmen, let alone smugglers."

"You don't have to be a businessman to do business. Can we talk? If we can talk, we can go in and talk, and if we can't, we can leave." Ling Qingshi didn't force or talk nonsense.

"What goods did you bring?" The old man didn't immediately agree.

Ling Qingshi turned to look at Bai Xue, Bai Xue untied a purse from her waist and threw it over, a young man took the purse, opened it and immediately became excited, chattering to the old man.

The old man was obviously happy when he got the purse, he made a gesture of invitation to Ling Qingshi and the others, and led them into the yurt.

However, not all the people entered, the hidden guards and the royal guards were all guarding outside, one was afraid of the other party's thoughts, and the other was to let the horse go.

There was a fire in the yurt, and it was very warm. As soon as I entered the door, I felt a strong warmth.And the mutton is still being roasted in this yurt, the smell has not been processed well, it is a bit smelly, but the people of these grassland tribes should like it very much.

The old man brought them to meet the leader of the Zhadalan tribe. The leader looked in his early forties, tall and mighty, very imposing, and his eyes were even worse than the old man's.

"Everyone, this is our leader, you can call him the leader of Daiqin." The old man also explained the meaning of Daiqin in Chinese, indicating that this leader is very capable of fighting.

"Who are you?" After the old man finished speaking, Dai Qin took the initiative to speak.

Ling Qingshi sat down, looked at the hanging roasted sheep, and reached out to Baixue. Baixue took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Ling Qingshi. Ling Qingshi opened it and sprinkled some on the lamb, and the aroma came out immediately.

The mutton was turned over and roasted for a while, Ling Qingshi made a gesture of invitation to the old man, "Try it?"

The old man was a little moved, but also a little apprehensive, afraid that Ling Qingshi would do something in it, but Dai Qin moved faster, raised the knife in his hand, and a piece of mutton with seasoning fell into his hand.

He took a bite, the expression on his face changed, he seemed a little surprised, then he ate the rest of the meat in twos and twos, and started to cut the second piece, talking to Ling Qingshi at the same time, "This is what you Da Chu used to do. spices?"
