Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 579, a rich life
After eating and drinking enough, Anmul, Qiqige and Batu went for a leisurely stroll again.

Going to the market is something that I didn't dare to think about before.

The supplies on the grassland are scarce, and everyone lives by water and grass. There is no fixed market at all. In the past, businessmen often rely on wandering merchants to bring things here.

Often things are very expensive and of poor quality.

It’s different now. Daming has built many fixed towns on the grasslands, and holds fairs regularly, where you can buy everything you want.

An Mur knew exactly what he needed, and the first thing he bought was food.

Soon, she came to Wang's firm, which opened a very large store here.

There are also many transactions, not only buying wool, cattle, sheep and horses from the herdsmen on the grassland, but also selling a lot of things here.

Grain, salt, tea, ironware, etc. are indispensable for grassland people. There are even clothes, shoes, cloth, and even vegetables and fruits in the market.

All kinds of goods are dazzling, and they are arranged in the style of department stores and supermarkets in later generations, with prices written on them, so that people can see clearly at a glance.

Anmur and Qiqige's favorite thing is to come here to shop, women are born like this.

Looking at the dazzling array of products on the shelves, choosing and choosing, I always like this feeling very much.

"Eji, buy potatoes and corn, add some to the mutton when cooking, it's delicious."

As soon as Qiqige entered, she hurried to the place where the potatoes and corn were sold.

Potatoes and corn are said to be brought back from the distant Golden Continent. They are relatively expensive, but they are very delicious.

Last time, she heard someone say that adding potatoes and corn to mutton and cooking it made the mutton, potatoes and corn very delicious.

The mutton has no mutton smell, while the potatoes and corn have absorbed the umami taste of the mutton, which is an extremely perfect fusion.

"Buy, buy more~"

"Potatoes and corn can be stored for a long time, and they can be eaten as vegetables in winter."

An Mur looked at the price, the price of these potatoes and corn is not cheap, these are new things, so he gritted his teeth and decided to buy some.

Nor could she forget the taste of lamb with potatoes and corn.

In the past, it was enough to eat enough, but now, I can still enjoy life.

"Erji, Chinese cabbage, and tomatoes, buy some, go back and make mutton soup, it's delicious~"

Qiqige quickly locked her eyes on the Chinese cabbage and tomatoes again.

She likes to eat tomatoes very much. Tomatoes are bright red, very beautiful, sweet and sour, and taste great.

Chinese cabbage is also her favorite. It is delicious when added to mutton soup.

"Buy~buy~"

An Mur looked at the price, nodded and said, Chinese cabbage is cheap, this thing is only a few pennies a catty, tomatoes are more expensive, and this thing is also introduced from Huangjinzhou.

However, today she sold thousands of taels of silver, and she was willing to buy some back for the children to try.

In the past, supplies were extremely scarce, and vegetables and fruits were too far away for people on the grasslands.

But it's different now. The merchants brought these things over in a steady stream, allowing the grassland people to enjoy a life of abundance in materials all at once.

Vegetables and fruits naturally entered their daily diet.

It is not necessarily eaten every day, but at the market, as long as there are, I will basically buy some.

I heard people say that eating more vegetables and fruits is good for your health.

"Everyone come and take a look, take a look, glass lamps and whale oil."

"Buy a few glass lamps and go home, hang them wherever you want, they are very bright, this whale oil burns without any smoke, and there will be no peculiar smell, the key is that it is also very burn-resistant, it is definitely a must-have item for every household. "

"The briquette stove and briquette are easy to use, convenient, and very resistant to burning. Whether it is used to boil water for cooking or for heating, it is very useful."

"It's made of wool, it's made of wool, it's very warm, very soft, and comfortable. In winter, if you have a woolen dress, you won't be afraid of the cold even if you keep it~"

In every corner of the store, there are guys who are constantly selling new things to people.

The side also attracted a lot of herdsmen to watch. These things are very useful. The glass lamps look very beautiful, and there are special lanterns.

As for whale oil, everyone knows about it.

Because there are people who sell a lot of seafood here in the market, all kinds of dried salted fish are also sought-after goods here.

The herdsmen in the store all have big bags and small bags, and they almost buy everything they see.

One word, cheap~
In the past, things from Daming were very expensive, and it took several horses to exchange for an iron pot.

It's different now. If you have a few horses, you have to use several four-wheeled carriages to go back and forth.

The grassland was incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the grassland became the subjects of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and everyone followed to enjoy the affluent life of the common people of the Ming Dynasty.

Their cattle, sheep and horses are valuable, but the things they bring in are very cheap, so you can buy them casually, and buy as much as you want.

And grassland people always pay attention to spending money when they have it. Anyway, the money is neither edible nor drinkable in their hands. Only when it is exchanged for things can they feel the charm of money.

A restaurant in the town, above the Baiyun Tower.

Liu Jin leisurely ate roasted whole lamb and mutton hot pot, while chatting with Battelle, Hadan, and Huhe.

Well, when the cattle and sheep on the grassland are the fattest, how could Liu Jin not come to the grassland to have a good meal of roasted whole lamb and mutton hot pot?

The last time I came was summer, and it was very hot on the grassland at that time, and I didn’t have the feeling of the sky being vast and wild, and the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep.

Now autumn is the best season, the climate is cool, and the cattle and sheep are fat.

"This mutton is still delicious on the grassland. No matter how you eat it here in the capital, it doesn't taste like that~"

Liu Jin ate with great relish, while Battelle, Hadan and Huhe at the side watched the herdsmen coming and going in the market below with great interest.

These used to be their people, and they still cared about their lives.

The three of them went to the Beijing-Tianjin area to stay for a few months. This time, they also followed Liu Jin back to the grassland to have a look. The whole person also had a lot of feelings.

"It's better now, everyone's life is better~"

Battelle sighed and said.

They live very comfortably in the Beijing-Tianjin area. To be honest, if they are called prairie people now, they will not adapt to it.

The clothes the three are wearing now are all from Daming's side. As for the original sheep robes, they have been lost long ago.

The goat robe is very heavy and has the smell of sheep. The key is that it is easy to hide small animals and the like, and it is not breathable. Naturally, it is no problem to wear it on the grassland.

But on the capital side, they still like to wear Daming's clothes.

Cool, breathable, comfortable, and close-fitting.

They were enjoying a new life here in Beijing and Tianjin. At first, they were worried that the herdsmen on the grassland would be oppressed by the Daming people, but after returning this time, they realized that the herdsmen lived a very comfortable life.

Look at the herdsmen on the street below, all of them are full of greasy food, with big and small bags in their hands, and they are living a very prosperous life.

"Yeah, the days are still comfortable~"

"In the past, everyone was fighting and killing, and everyone didn't have a good life. Now it's so good, harmonious, and everyone lives comfortably."

Hadan on the side also nodded solemnly.

Thinking about the past, whenever this time came, it was the time when the prairie people put on the dried meat on their backs, rode on their horses, and picked up their machetes and went south to plunder.

Every time he went south, blood would flow into rivers in the Central Plains, corpses would be strewn across the fields, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Although these prairie people can loot a lot of things, they are limited in the beginning. After coming back for a winter, they will soon consume seven or eighty-eight.

Although looting can get some of what he wants, but too much, too much blood has been lost between the two parties in vain.

How good it is now, what you want, just come and buy it, the things are good and cheap.

The grassland herdsmen enjoyed the benefits, and the Ming people also got what they needed.

"It's good, it's good, the world is big, there's enough room for us."

Hu He also nodded and said.

After going to the capital of Daming, it was an eye-opener for them. It turns out that the world is so huge. There is a very vast land outside of Daming, and there are many very, very high-quality grasslands. As long as they follow Daming, their future Children and grandchildren can spread all over the best ranch in the world.

"Battelle, I heard that you invested in a firm that specializes in opening plantations in the Nanyang region?"

Having said that, Hardan couldn't help asking Battelle.

"Yes, I did invest in one. Now there are many commercial firms planning to go to Ryukyu and Nanyang to build cities and open plantations. I just invested tens of thousands of taels there."

Battelle nodded and said.

"Don't call me, but I heard that the sugar cane here in Ryukyu City is ripe, and the boiled sugar is very valuable. Is the business you invested in also planning to grow sugar cane?"

When Hardan heard this, he also said dissatisfied.

"It seems to be planting sugar cane, boiling sugar, or maybe rice. I heard that rice in Nanyang can be harvested three times a year, and the yield is very high."

Battelle smiled embarrassedly and said.

Liu Jin on the side also smiled slightly as he listened to the discussion of the three.

These three grassland tribal leaders, even if they are asked to come back to the grassland, it is absolutely impossible for them to say that they will pose any threat to Daming.

Firstly, they are quite accustomed to the life of Daming, and there are many industries in Daming, and secondly, the herdsmen on the grassland live affluently, who would want to rebel?

Who is willing to follow them to live a hard life?
　This should be possible, right?
