Chapter 333: Guozhong's gift

  Chapter 333 Guozhong's gift

  The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not say to let Qin Guozhong return to Hetao, so of course the newly appointed king of Huaihua County could not shout to go back. Now that he came to Chang'an, changed his surname and name to become a courtier of Datang, of course Mo Mo still has this self-knowledge.

   Once it comes, let it be safe.

  Anyway, Hetao has 10,000 tent tribes, which cannot be taken away by others, so as long as the tribes are there, it doesn’t make much difference whether he stays in Chang’an City or Hetao.

  Besides, if others stayed in Chang'an City, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could not just sit back and watch Xieli attack his tribe.

"Brother, this house is really beautiful. Compared with my house in Fengzhou, it is really a cottage in the countryside." Qin Guozhong held a teacup in his hand, although the tea soup in the cup was as light as water, compared to milk tea with rock sugar and mare's milk The difference is not a star and a half, but he still pretends to be happy, as if he has long been used to this kind of tea.

   "Your Majesty gave me 80 mu of land in Huaiyuanfang, South of Xishi City, and I also want to build a beautiful house like Sanlang's." Qin Guozhong treats Qin Lang with the same enthusiasm as brothers who have been together for many years.

  He asked Qin Lang to help introduce a house repairer.

"money is not a problem."

  Qin Guozhong looks like a nouveau riche, but he is really rich. 10,000 tents, although not as many as the 100,000 he claimed, are not too many. People raise cattle, sheep and horses, not one hundred and two hundred, and they are calculated according to the valley.

   I never knew how many cows and horses I raised. I only knew how many valleys I needed to shelter from the wind in winter, so I always calculated in units of valleys.

   A Turkic nobleman like him owns the entire Houtao area. The so-called Yellow River has all kinds of harm, but only the rich. One can imagine the fertility of Hetao.

  In history, whether it was the Qin Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, or the Sui and Tang Dynasties at this time, the Central Plains always wanted to manage the Hetao area.

  Hetao is far away from the Guanzhong Plain and hangs in the north alone, but the imperial court has to work hard for safety. If the strength of the Central Plains is not strong, if the Hetao is controlled, it can naturally be defended according to the Hetao, with the Hetao as the main point of defense in the north. If the Central Plains is strong, it will also occupy the Hetao, and it will be the base camp for the forward attack.

  Because of the richness and fertility of the Hetao, for the Central Plains, this is an important place that can directly provide the food and grass needed by the army, which is extremely important.

   It is precisely because of the fertility of the Loop that the Loop is so important.

   As soon as the northern prairie people become stronger, they will definitely go south to fight for the Hetao. For them, the horse-grassland Hetao can also be attacked and defended.

  Qin Guozhong dared to clamor against Jieli precisely because he occupied the Houtao area.

  The entire Hetao is actually the big zigzag area of ​​the Yellow River in the north of Guanzhong, which is roughly divided into Dongtao and Xitao. The section on the side of the zigzag is the Lingwu area, called Xitao. And the horizontal line above the a few characters is called Dongtao. The one on the left is also called the back cover, and the one on the east is called the front cover.

   Now these three sets, Lingwu is controlled by Datang and guarded by Qin Qiong. The back cover is in Qin Guochang's hands, and the front cover is in Xieli's hands.

  Sitting on a set, Momo is indeed extremely rich, especially after opening a border market with Qin Qiong, he made a lot of money, which made Jie Lidu extremely jealous.

   But money is not enough, what is important on the grassland is hard fists.

Qin Guozhong is used to fighting with Jieli, but in the past, everyone was on the same boat as one, and they often banded together to rob south. Usually, Jieli would tolerate small conflicts, but now Qin Guozhong hugged Qin Qiong's thigh, flirted with Tang Chao, and If you engage in Jieli everywhere, Jieli will naturally not be able to bear it.

   As soon as the fight started, Qin Guozhong found that Jieli was still very ruthless. He had no choice but to be killed by Jieli, or he would simply vote for Tang, so in the end Qin Guozhong chose to vote for Tang.

Anyway, his grandfather Qimin Khan was just a small Tuli Khan at the beginning, and later he got the support of the Sui Dynasty and fell out with the big Khan. Dingxiang, south of Yinshan Mountain, built a city for him, and gathered tribes for him. In the end, Qimin Khan married two princesses of the Sui Dynasty, and finally had the last laugh. Min Khan hugged Khan's father's thigh, a sage in the Sui Dynasty, and had the last laugh, becoming the Great Khan of the Turkic Grassland.

Therefore, Qin Guozhong actually sees clearly that it doesn't matter if he votes in Tang Dynasty, it's just a name, especially in the current situation, Datang needs him as a Turkic Yushe even more, he doesn't have to worry about his tribe being annexed or something Yes, maybe one day Datang will really support him to be the Turkic Khan.

  Qin Lang was still quite polite to this "yi brother" he knew well.

   Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that Qin Guozhong is really a motherfucker, giving Qin Lang a gift, it must fill a gift list instead of a page.

   And listening to him, he not only gave gifts to Qin Lang, he gave gifts to many people.

  The emperor, empress, prince, and even the Supreme Emperor all gave a generous gift, and the prime ministers and princes of the dynasty also gave gifts one by one.

  Even the emperor has spoken, since the king of Huaihua County is so caring, everyone just accept it.

But this Qin Guozhong is also very powerful. His gift list is very rich, and there are beauties, slaves, cattle and sheep on it, but he said that he came to Chang'an in a hurry, so he only brought a small amount of easy-to-carry and valuable gold and silver jewelry, cattle and sheep. The slaves are still in Toyosu for the time being.

   But he said it would be delivered right away.

  He is the only one who still owes this kind of gift.

  Qin Lang is not greedy for cattle, sheep and slaves, but he also values ​​Qin Guozhong's strength, and proactively proposed business cooperation.

"Frost and snow disasters in the north, many cattle and sheep froze to death, brother Yi lost a lot. It happens that I do fur and milk business here, do some processing and so on, I can send people to Fengzhou to report to Yixiong tribe The herdsman opened a processing workshop, bought cattle and sheep, slaughtered and processed them, and then transported them back to the Central Plains, which also reduced some losses.”

  This weather is suitable for slaughtering and processing, and there is no need to worry about it being damaged in hot weather.

Wool can be processed into sweaters and blankets, leather can be made into leather clothes, meat can also be made into dried meat, etc. In this cold snap this year, many people are suffering from the cold, and fur is the best shelter from the cold. .

  Qin Guozhong was very happy to hear that.

  In the past, before the snowfall, the herdsmen would also slaughter the bulls and rams, or some old ones, and freeze the meat for the winter. This also reduces the demand for winter forage, so that other cattle and sheep can have grass for the winter.

  Similarly, killing the meat before winter can also ensure the fat of the meat.

   It’s just that the cold was too early this year, and the grass froze to death early, leaving many cattle and sheep without grass to eat.

  Although he has a good relationship with Qin Qiong and trades in the border market, Dingyuan border market can't consume so much.

   But now what Qin Lang proposes is a package plan, no matter how much fur, milk and meat there is in Fengzhou, he will buy them all, and the price is still good.

  Qin Lang exchanged Tang handicrafts such as salt, tea, silk cloth, pottery bowls, and iron pots for Turkic fur, milk, and meat, even live ones, and the price was relatively reasonable.

   This made Qin Guozhong unavoidably happy.

   "Sanlang is really closer than my own brother!" Qin Guozhong hugged Qin Lang, his fat body made Qin Lang feel bored.

  Qin Lang thought to himself, your brother Ashinasheer is in charge of Tuoshe in Mobei, and together with Shibi Khan's son Yugushe, he leads the tribes of Tiele in Mobei.

  In the past, Qin Qiong was restricted in setting up distant markets, merchants could only trade in the border markets, but now that Qin Guozhong has become a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Lang plans to make a big move.

In the name of the Eastern Palace, organized Cheng Yao Jinniu Jinda and even Li Jing, Li Ji and other families to pay money to sweep the goods from the Central Plains, then leave Xiaoguan, transport them by land to the Yellow River, and then take Qin Qiong's Lingwu water transport boat along the Yellow River, Go directly to Jiuyuan, Fengzhou, and go deep into the Houtao grassland to trade with the herdsmen.

   Bring back the cows and sheep that can't survive the winter at the end of the touch, as well as the fur and herbs they have accumulated over the years.

  Qin Guozhong was very happy.

very happy.

He happily drank several large bowls of wine to thank Qin Lang, but he didn't expect that the pot of wine on Qin Lang's table was Wuliangye, which was sold as a luxury in Donggong Huimin Drugstore, and its characteristic was its high alcohol content , good taste, full-bodied.

  Usually small crystal cups are used, only one or two cups.

Qin Guozhong took a bowl to drink, and drank three more bowls. When he first drank it, he thought the wine was strong, but it suited his taste. Who knew that after the third bowl, his whole body was on fire, and a raging fire rose in his stomach, making him His face was flushed.

  People can't help feeling a little dizzy.

   "Sanlang's wine is strong."

   "If brother-in-law likes it, I will give it to you, and I will send you two bottles later."

   "What's the name of this wine?"

   "Wuliangye."

  Qin Guozhong shook his head and couldn't control his mouth, "Sanlang, you are a good maid, give her to me too."

   "Wine can be given as a gift, but this person can't." Qin Lang smiled and shook his head and refused.

   "Sanlang is so stingy, and I can't bear a maid, so let her sleep with me, just because I'm sleepy." Qin Guozhong said, handing his whip to the maid.

  The maid looked at the whip, then at the fat Turkic man, her face turned pale with fright.

  She knew that many Hu people had this tradition. If a nobleman took a fancy to a female slave, he would hand her the whip directly. The female slave not only had to clean and oil the whip, but also went to sleep with her at night.

  Even nobles who are guests at other people's homes will also ask for it if they see other maidservants, and the master will not refuse.

  Of course, the situation in the Central Plains is much better. Although some distinguished guests are interested in the master’s servants and concubines, the master will sometimes give them away as gifts, but this is rare.

   "Saburo, please."

  The maid Xiaolian pleaded with Qin Lang in panic, life in Duke Yi's mansion is good, there is no need to be beaten or scolded, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, life is very happy.

  Qin Lang helped Xiaolian up.

"Brother Yi, my Qin family has never had the habit of giving away people like cats, dogs, cattle and sheep. Brother Yi, if you like my wine, I can give you more, but this person cannot be given away. I think My brother-in-law is also drunk, how about I arrange for my brother-in-law to go to Pingkang Fang for entertainment? The girls there are far better than me as a maid."

  Qin Guozhong's face is unhappy, it can be seen that Qin Lang's face is not hesitant, but he has regained some reason.

   "Hahaha, Saburo treats this servant really well."
