Chapter 1022: Ji Zi Juan talks while continuing to tease
"Of course not. What are these people doing here on the grassland? They can't eat it or use it. I don't know how many of these people can be exchanged for ransom. As you said, these ordinary soldiers Zai Sai hopes that one person can be exchanged for ransom. The ransom of fifty taels of silver doesn’t sound like much, but how can it be realized?”
Feng Ziying chuckled, "Who will pay the ransom for them? It will definitely not be possible in a short time. But if they are held in hand, Zasai will definitely not be able to do it for a long time, so Zasai hopes that you will help him." Think of ways to."
"Then what do you have in mind? If pressed, Zaisai might be able to do anything." Busia Mara felt that Feng Ziying was a little careless and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't seem to care. I'm sure Zaisai can do nothing." Dare you do it?”
"It might be hard to tell if it were anyone else, but Zasai can be regarded as a person with some foresight among the five inner kalkhas. I believe he will not do those unwise things." Feng Ziying shook his head.
“Are you betting on the slaughter?” Bushiyamala disagreed.
"No, since Zaisai has found you, he must have some ideas. You might as well talk about it and listen to it." Feng Ziying spread her hands and said, "Don't hide it."
Busia Mara also knew that he could not hide it from the other party, so he thought for a while and said: "Zaisai felt that he was in a dilemma and planned to take all the captured officers to the grassland, and the ransom may be greatly increased. In addition, among the tens of thousands of soldiers, the strongest ones will be selected to lead them. Leave, while the old and weak stay. This is a last resort. In addition, he feels that although businessmen are not willing to do this kind of business, you are a descendant of Wu Xun, and these people are inextricably linked to you. You With such a great reputation in the capital city, he might be willing to help these people. He can package it for you very cheaply. It doesn’t necessarily require silver, iron, silk tea, grain, cloth, salt, porcelain, whatever. Everything can be exchanged. If he is willing to make the greatest concession, he should be your friend..."
Feng Ziying laughed loudly, "The words of this Zai Sai are worse than the songs. I paid money to redeem these things that no one wants, and I have to accept his love. There is no such thing in the world, right? You have to hand me this My friend, why don’t you just give all these tens of thousands of people to me for free?”
Bushiyamala couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy is so thick-skinned. Tens of thousands of people were given to you for nothing. What are you thinking? He also risked his life to win. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
“Zaisai also said that there are merchants from the Zhou Dynasty who have offered money and are willing to help redeem those generals and officers, and the price is according to the price he offered, but no one cares about these soldiers..."
Busia Mara's words made Feng Ziying shudder, but then she thought about it, the Shanshan Chamber of Commerce's gang could reach Hami, Turpan, Yilibari (Mughal), Uszang in the west, and North Korea in the east. With a good relationship, it makes sense to do this kind of thing.
It should be said that these businessmen do have some skills and they do have a good way of building relationships, but they are unwilling to use them in the right way.
Whether it is the Mongolian tribes on the left or right wing, the Jurchen tribes, the Korean royal family, or the Yilibari (Mongol) people in the farthest west, they can all pass through, so through these Mongolian tribes, from It is normal to go through trouble to redeem the lives of the nobles in the capital.
"So Zaisai is unwilling and wants them to pack them up? But these businessmen are also unwilling?" Feng Ziying smiled, "That's fine, let Zaisai and the others bring all the valuable people who he thinks can be exchanged for ransom." Return to the grassland, pack up the remaining soldiers and give them to me, 50,000 people, and I will give him 50,000 taels of silver, or goods of equal value, Bushiya Mara, you guarantee it!"
Bushiyamala was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. After a long while, she said in horror: "Are you crazy? Zasai asked for 2.5 million taels, but you only gave 50,000 taels. Do you think he will agree?"
Feng Ziying said calmly: "Business, isn't it just a discussion? You have already said that these tens of thousands of people are worthless to him, and it is unrealistic to **** them to the grassland. These people are neither farmers nor The craftsmen are all pampered old soldiers. Let's exchange them for silver. No one pays for them. They hold them in their hands and have to take care of the food every day. Even if they only spend ten cents a day, those fifty thousand people will spend four to five hundred taels of silver. I’m afraid it’s also heartbreaking for the people from the Five Inner Khalkha tribes who are so poor that they want to come to the Central Plains to make a fortune, right?”
"But no matter what, Zaisai will not agree to it. The five tribes of Inner Khalkha suffered such huge losses under Qian'an City. Zaisai cannot get enough goods and will not be able to explain when he returns." Bushiya Mara said deeply. vocal channel.
Bushiyamala suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zasai was not particularly angry. It turned out that they had already made a lot of money from tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital.
The armor and weapons are huge. Even if they can't use them all themselves, if they transport them back to the grassland, they can definitely fight with the Outer Karkha tribes, the Chahar people, even the Tumuts and Ordos people, as well as those Jurchens and Jurchens from the East China Sea further north. The Jurchens from Jianzhou came to exchange, and Zhou's armor and weapons were still very popular in these places.
Seeing that Bushiya Mara understood, Feng Ziying smiled and said: "So, you never suffer a loss when you win a battle. Zasai and the others have made a lot of money, and there are hundreds of military officers and officers. He is sure If they want to make another good fortune, they have already made enough. As for these tens of thousands of soldiers, they are basically just adding to their head. Are you happy but not doing it? Do you think he didn't think of this and told you specifically, isn't it because he wants to make a fortune from you and also want you to accept his love? "
So, Busia Mara couldn't help gritting her teeth, and it was funny in Feng Ziying's eyes: "Do you think it's so easy for Zasai to become the leader of Inner Khalkha at such a young age? There are so many warriors on the grassland that they can lead troops to fight. There are quite a few, but only those who have vision, can manage and think well can be regarded as characters. Why didn't Zhuoli Ketuhunbaturu think that his son and grandson would inherit his position as the leader of the five inner kalkha tribes? He then understood that if the five Inner Khalkha tribes wanted to prosper, it was not just about being able to fight. Why did Nuantu's six or seven sons not choose his own son to inherit the position of leader of the Hongjira tribe, but set rules for his nephew to succeed? Come to take over? I’m afraid it’s not just as simple as passing down the rules of the tribe.”
After saying this, Busia Mara's eyes towards Feng Ziying changed slightly. After a while, Busia Mara said quietly: "How do you know so much about things on our grassland and see so thoroughly?"
"What? Do you think I'm not as unbearable as you first imagined?" Feng Ziying smiled half-heartedly, "The more you get in touch with me, the more unfathomable I am, and you can't help but want to know more about me?"
Trying his best to keep his expression unchanged, Busiyamala knew that he was a little confused.
She has met many heroes on the grassland, including Zai Sai, Nurhaci and his sons, Lin Dan Batur, and even Li Chengliang's sons. She has met and interacted with them all. There are many ambitious and heroic people, but compared with the person in front of me, there always seems to be something missing.
She couldn't tell what was missing specifically. All in all, this person could give people a sense of trust and security, making you involuntarily trust him.
"Sir, let's get back to the topic. Maybe what you said makes sense, but you said fifty thousand taels of silver can be exchanged for fifty thousand soldiers. Do you think it's possible? No matter how useless Zasai thinks these people are, it's impossible to do this. Let me give it to you, even if he grits his teeth and escorts three to five thousand more people back to the grassland, as long as one person can ask for a ransom of twenty taels of silver, it is still more cost-effective than your fifty thousand taels." Bushiya Mara shook his head.
“I said we can talk, but time waits for no one, and I’m afraid that Zaisai himself can’t bear it.” Feng Ziying smiled, “Who will Zaisai send?”
“Compared with the collared rabbit and the makeup rabbit.” Bushiyamala replied.
"Oh, it stands to reason that Bilingu should be the person Zaisai trusts more. Zhuangtu is the son of Bayandar Yileden of the Zalut tribe, right?" Feng Ziying nodded, "Zhuoli of the Uziyet tribe Ketuhunbatulu has always supported Zaisai, and now Zaisai has brought in the Zarut tribe, the strongest of the five inner Khalkha tribes. The Zalut tribe and the Bayot tribe have always been good friends and are each other's in-laws. , it seems that Zaisai’s plan is big.”
"In this case, Busia Mara, it's not suitable for me to come forward. It's better for you to talk to Bilingu and Zhuangtu. My bottom line is one hundred thousand taels of silver. No need to talk for any more. What should Zai Sai do? It's okay, we won't get involved." Feng Ziying said calmly: "Let's start with fifty thousand taels. Bi Lingtu and Zhuangtu may be very angry at first, but if you explain what I said thoroughly, I believe that Zai Saixuan will The people we talk to are not stupid and should understand the seriousness of this."
Bushiyamala felt as if she had been firmly tied to the other party in a boat. She didn't know how she was regarded as the most trusted person by the other party in a daze, and that such matters could be left to her. Do it yourself, it seems like you can't refuse.
"Bushiya Mara, the Jurchens in Jianzhou will be our more and more difficult enemies in the future. In comparison, Lindan Batur is just a scabies disease. The Inner Khalkha people may be our friends. Likewise, , Zaisai will also realize this. The Jurchens and Chahar people of Jianzhou have nothing to give to the Inner Khalkha people, but Dazhou can give them everything they want, so based on common interests and enemies, we believe in the future There will be more and more opportunities for cooperation.”
Feng Ziying stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance with her hands behind her hands.
