Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1053
Sun Kewang didn't know much about coins, but he could also see that Jin would suffer a lot in the long run.

In addition to coins, Sun Kewang was more worried that after the Ming Dynasty occupied Sichuan, the trade with Uzang and Qinghai would affect his operation of Hexi, but his worries were actually a bit more than that. It is more competitive than the Kingdom of Jin, but it is not easy for Ming Dynasty goods to enter Shu, and even if they enter Shu, they have to cross the Hengduan Mountains to enter the snowy area. The difficulty of transportation has greatly increased the cost, which made He Tengjiao open frontiers in Sichuan and Yunnan. City, it will not be able to affect Hexi in the short term.

Sun Kewang originally decided to go back to the palace and discuss with someone to see if he should write a note to Hauge, but the neighing of a horse made him stop, and Zhang Sheng who was beside him also turned his attention to the woodworker in the mule and horse shop. Inside the fence.

As a man who has been killed for a long time, although Sun Kewang is not particularly capable of fighting, he can also judge whether a horse is good or bad by the neighing of the horse.

The things that the generals love are treasure armor and BMW, both of which can protect the life of the general on the battlefield. Compared with the generals of the Han family, treasure armor is easy to get, but BMW is more difficult to find. Sun Kewang also loved good horses. Hearing the neighing sound, it was strong and powerful, so he knew it must be a good horse.

This time Sun Kewang can serve the Kingdom of Jin, he has to thank Wu Sangui for taking him in, but he escaped in a hurry and didn't bring any treasures, so he never expressed his gratitude to Wu Sangui. Ma sent Wu Sangui's thoughts.

The nomads could not sell many materials to the Central Plains. Except for furs, only cattle, sheep, and horses remained.Although the West Market is also a market, its products are far less numerous than the East Market. Basically, it is divided into three lands. One is a mule and horse store, which specializes in selling mules and horses, the other is a livestock store, which specializes in selling cattle and sheep, and the other is for fur trading. place.

Compared with the East Market, the West Market is much simpler and simpler. There are no shops, and it is surrounded by a fence with wooden stakes inserted inside to tie the livestock to graze.

The mule and horse shop is run by the government. Those who come from Mongolia, the snow region, and the tribes in the west of Hexi can drive horses and livestock here to sell. They only need to spend some money to rent them in the mule and horse shop. A fence, after selling it, it is enough to pay a tax to the government.

Such a simple fence, plus the horse stakes nailed to the ground, can earn 1 taels a month, which is more than the tax paid by a government.

Generally speaking, Jinguobian City strictly prohibits the delivery of iron to Mongolia and the snow area, so as to prevent the Mongols from turning iron into weapons and becoming powerful. Mongolia and the snow area are not stupid, and naturally they will not take good horses to compete with them. Jin Guo exchanged, because Jin Guo had good horses, and it was too easy to beat them.

The west market has been open for more than half a year, and the horses that come to trade are usually ordinary horses, or even bad horses. There has never been any good horses.

Sun Kewang was overjoyed when he heard the braying of the horses. He hurriedly looked into the mules and horses, but he didn't know where he was for a while.

"Your Majesty! There!" As a general, Zhang Sheng was sensitive to horses. He looked around and found a team of Mongolians in furs and felt hats, pulling more than 20 healthy horses into the fence.

Almost at the same time, one of the healthy horses neighed again. Seeing this, Sun Kewang hurriedly walked over, and shouted from a long distance: "I want all these horses, you don't need to take them in!"

The ten Mongolians who were about to lead the horses into the fence suddenly heard the shout, their bodies froze slightly, and they turned around after a pause, then looked vigilantly at Sun Kewang who was coming towards him.

Sun Ke saw several Mongolians standing there sluggishly, with nervous expressions on their faces, and was a little surprised in his heart, thinking that these Mongolians could not understand Chinese, so he ordered Zhang Sheng to call for an interpreter.

The ethnic composition of the Hexi Corridor is complex. In order to facilitate transactions, Sun Kewang specially hired many people who can speak languages ​​of various ethnic groups as interpreters, so that caravans of different ethnic groups can trade in Guazhou.

He gave an order, and Zhang Sheng hurriedly went to call, but one of the ten Mongolians hurriedly said, "Excuse me, we don't sell these horses?"

Sun Kewang was slightly taken aback when he heard that they could speak Chinese, but when he heard what they said, he felt even more strange. Instead of selling them, he took the horses to a mule and horse shop for what they did, and even rented a fence.

"Not for sale?" Sun Kewang's expression darkened.

The Mongolian who spoke earlier was about to explain, but another man who looked like the leader pushed him away, walked to the front, and said: "I'm really sorry, these horses have been locked up, you should go look elsewhere! "

The tax system in Guazhou is not perfect. It is very easy for businessmen to evade taxes. If these horses are ordered by someone, they can be delivered directly to the door. Why do they have to go to the mule and horse dealer? It's not worth it to trade taxes again.

Even if the buyer didn't arrive, it wouldn't make sense. The Mongols are not like the Central Plains people, so spending a few days in the wild is not a problem at all.

Sun Kewang took a look. They had a total of twenty healthy horses, all of them were good horses, one of them was black, and it was very handsome. It might cost more than a thousand taels. More than a hundred taels, he didn't believe that the Mongols were so simple and so incapable of settling accounts.

Sun Kewang looked at more than 20 healthy horses and ten Mongolians, and suddenly smiled, pretending to be sorry, "Since there are already buyers, I won't force it!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, "Go! Go and look elsewhere!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Kewang went straight out of the mules and horses, but as soon as he came out, he stopped again, turned his head and said to Zhang Sheng: "Go, immediately dispatch troops to the barracks, take down this group of people, and ask them where they came from." road!"

Zhang Sheng also saw that there was something wrong with these Mongols, so he clasped his fists and accepted the order, "I'll do it now!"

Sun Kewang handed him a talisman, and Zhang Sheng hurried away immediately. As soon as he left, several guards immediately surrounded Sun Kewang.Sun Kewang immediately ordered: "This king is going back to the mansion, you stay here and watch, don't let any one go."

Not long after he left, Zhang Sheng led [-] soldiers to the mules and horses. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he happened to meet the ten Mongols who were leading the horses and wanted to leave again, but they were stopped by the guards left behind by Sun Kewang. On the grounds of buying horses, they stopped at the entrance of the horse market.

In a big market like Guazhou, a lot of property is collected in the city, and some of the surrounding tribes come to trade, so there must be troops guarding it to maintain law and order and deter those rebellious barbarians.

When the ten Mongolians saw more than 300 heavily armed soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin trotting over the street at a neat pace, their expressions immediately changed drastically. Even when they drew their swords and got on their horses, they wanted to rush out, but they were dragged off their horses by Sun Kewang's guards.

Three of the ten Mongols were subdued by the guards, and the remaining seven wanted to rush, but were killed by the soldiers who came.

Such a thing happened suddenly at the gate of the horse market, which immediately caused a commotion. The street outside the mules and horses was crowded with onlookers. Other horse dealers in the horse market saw it and suspected that Jin Guo had killed and devoured horses, and suddenly panicked.

Zhang Sheng ordered martial law, walked over to the corpses of several Mongols and looked through them, then looked at the horses, and found that they were all war horses, his face sank immediately.
