Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family
Chapter 229 Controlling the Kings of the East Road, the Lifeline of Grassland Food
Zhang Yong said a little speechlessly.
Is there any mistake? This matter has just been finalized, and it is only Genghis Khan’s verbal statement. It will still be a long time before the official appointment is announced!
He knew that this girl Tulan Lun wanted to go out and show off. This was a common problem among women, whether it was a woman from a thousand years ago or a woman from a thousand years ago.
Therefore, Zhang Yong planned to give the other party a vaccination in advance and tell her that the matter had not been decided yet.
Damn it, don't go out and talk nonsense.
"How can Father Khan be a person who breaks his word? He promised to make you king back then, but Father Khan fulfilled his promise in less than two years.
Now that I have told you, the preparations have basically been completed, just wait to receive these people! Tu Lanlun said.
I don’t know which tribe will come this time, but it follows the customs of the grassland. There are only some tribes that are not doing well and are on the fringe.
That's why Genghis Khan rewarded him and moved to other places to live. If he hadn't been forced to do so, who would want to leave his hometown?
As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. Although the living conditions on the Mongolian grasslands are relatively harsh, these herders still prefer to live here.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong has a large pasture in the direction of Xining Prefecture, as well as the magic medicine that can resist the curse of the plateau.
According to some herdsmen, they have taken these miracle medicines and after living there for two years, they are no longer afraid at all. As long as they do not go to too high a place, they can breathe normally even without taking medicines.
"It's just that this matter hasn't been completely settled after all. If you talk about it everywhere now, you might let some thoughtful people tell the Khan." Zhang Yong said.
"Okay! Then after you are officially canonized, I will talk to those women." Tu Lanlun nodded and said.
But although I can't tell outsiders, it probably doesn't matter to my mother. I will tell her tomorrow to make her happy too.
"Okay, it's been a tiring day today. Let's all take a rest early!" Zhang Yong stretched, stood up, extinguished the candles in the room, and closed the curtain of the tent.
There are no entertainment activities on the grassland, so go to bed early!
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, as soon as Zhang Yong got up, a messenger came, saying that Wokuotai had invited him over.
Zhang Yong nodded and took some gifts. Then he followed the envoy to the camp where Wokuotai lived.
I haven't seen my cheap father-in-law for more than a year.
"Zhang Yong pays homage to his father-in-law." Zhang Yong gave some gifts he had prepared in advance to Wo Kuotai and said.
"Zhang Yong, you kid is here. You don't have to be so polite. Come on, come on over here and sit down. I'll introduce you to you."
As soon as Zhang Yong entered the door, he was pulled in by Wo Kuotai. In the room at this time, in addition to Wo Kuotai himself, there were also several of his sons and several eldest wives.
Even her old friend, Fatima, was kneeling next to another woman. When she saw Zhang Yong coming, she winked at Zhang Yong and showed a smile.
"Let me introduce to you, these are some of my sons. You have met Guiyou, Kuo Duan and Kuo Chu." Wo Kuotai took Zhang Yong and introduced his sons one by one.
"I've seen you! Lord God Envoy." Wo Kuotai's sons toasted to Zhang Yong very respectfully, and Zhang Yong was unequivocal and responded to them one by one.
"Princes, there is no need to be polite."
Next, I met several of Wo Kuotai's wives, including Da Hanerduo. These Mongolian women still had a very high status in Wo Kuotai's family. If Wo Kuotai led troops to fight outside, then everything would have to be obeyed by them.
"I've met all of you Han'erduo."
These women also responded to Zhang Yong one after another.
After doing this, Ogedai sent his son and wives away.
Suddenly, he and Wo Kuotai were the only two people left in the camp.
"Originally I wanted to bring you back yesterday, but Father Khan summoned you yesterday and I couldn't find you again. I can only ask you to come here today." Wo Kuotai said.
In the past year and a half, he has been doing very well on the grassland! After winning the battle against the Kingdom of Jin.
He gained the support of all the kings of the West Road, and coupled with Zhang Yong's large breeding shed, the relationship between the kings of the West Road and them became even closer.
After all, if you want to build this breeding shed, you have to have his connections with Wo Kuotai, and you have to let Wo Kuotai come forward and ask Zhang Yong to help.
Moreover, the coal in Xiliao is also controlled by Wo Kuotai. If you want to use this breeding shed, the subsequent development of coal sales will also have to be done by Wo Kuotai.
Now all the princes and nobles in Mongolia have to come to curry favor with him. Coal and salt from Xiliao are now hard currencies on the grasslands, not to mention those gold mines. Several of them have been mined and screened out. Some gold dust.
When these gold mines are fully operational, the wealth of his Ogedai will be unimaginable, and Brother Chagatai will have to fawn over him now.
And all this was brought about by Zhang Yong, the cheap son-in-law. Even several elders in Wo Kuotai were dissatisfied with Wo Kuotai for marrying Xiaoyun.
why? It's not because of dissatisfaction with Zhang Yong, but because Zhang Yong's status is very high now! He was a popular figure in front of Genghis Khan, even equivalent to a Mongolian king.
You actually let the daughter of a concubine marry the other party, why not choose the daughters of these big Hanerduo! As a result, the Han man's daughter was advantaged.
This made Wokuotai's wives very dissatisfied. In their opinion, even if they wanted to marry, they should choose among their daughters, not the Han daughter.
In fact, it was not without reason that Wokuotai chose Xiaoyun to marry Zhang Yong.
First, Tu Lanlun, this sister, is very strong. If his daughter is also very strong, then the two of them will definitely not be able to deal with her.
The second is that among my daughters, Xiaoyun is the most beautiful, so naturally I choose Xiaoyun.
The third consideration is that he was at that time. I didn't expect that this kid Zhang Yong could become successful so quickly. I thought that this kid would be worthy of being a member of a thousand households, but everything turned out to be unpredictable!
"Father-in-law, you must be having a good time on the grassland these days, right? I see your face is glowing, you must be very happy." Zhang Yong smiled and asked.
"Hahaha! This is all thanks to your boy. You boy don't know how much your farm has helped me. And the coal and salt produced in Zishiliao have become hard currency. Now even some of the hosts have come to curry favor with me, but they came here without telling Tuo Lei," Wo Kuotai said.
"Father-in-law, if these host kings come to visit you, then you will give them benefits, whether they want salt, coal, or building a breeding greenhouse, you agree to it, but don't ask them first. Make conditions." Zhang Yong smiled and said.
"Without any conditions, why is this? If I help them, they will naturally be loyal to me. Otherwise, wouldn't I be helping that guy Tuo Lei to raise people?" Wo Kuotai asked in confusion.
"Father-in-law, think about coal and salt. They all need to be transported later. It is not just given to them once and they can use it permanently.
When they are completely inseparable from you and become dependent on you, then you ask them for conditions. Then they will have to listen to you because they have no choice.
The coal they burn and the salt they eat all come from you. If you cut off the salt and coal, they will have no salt to eat in the winter and their livestock will be frozen. "Zhang Yong said.
Once a complete industrial chain is formed, let the other party become dependent on your products.
Then the right to speak will be in your hands, and what you say will be whatever you say. If you want to increase prices, you can increase prices, and you can do whatever you want.
The other party has to listen to you. This is the most brilliant method of control.
"You're right, kid! In that case, I really should do this, if they don't listen to me then.
I will cut off all these things, hahaha! Drag thunder! Drag mine!
Even if you control more than 80% of the entire Mongolian army, so what? "After understanding what Zhang Yong said, I, Kuotai, patted his thigh with excitement and said.
Zhang Yong is really smart!
He can clearly see things that others cannot understand.
He can even give up some immediate benefits in exchange for greater benefits. This boy's vision is really good.
"Father-in-law, thank you very much. If the time is right, you can also export some wheat or rice to them.
Anyway, they cannot grow these things on their land, but your Xiliao can grow these things. This is your natural advantage, and you must take advantage of it. "Zhang Yong said.
There is a lot of land in Xiliao that can be cultivated, and it is rich in rice and wheat. (Here is some popular science for you. Don’t think that there was no such thing as rice in Xinjiang, the Western Region in ancient times.
Not only does it exist, but the output is huge. Otherwise, where would you think this thing called finger food came from? This thing was invented more than two thousand years ago. )
"Yes, yes, there is also food. Since the land in Xiliao used the chemical fertilizer you mentioned, the food output has also increased.
I can also transport grain and sell it to these host kings. After they eat my grain, they will not be able to obey my words. "Wokuotai said. "Father-in-law, just understand. This is your natural advantage. You must take advantage of it. The drag mine is just a dead bone in the grave, and it is definitely not your opponent. "Zhang Yong said.
is not that right? The reason why Kublai Khan was able to defeat his younger brother Alibaba and defeat the Mongolian army on the grassland was largely due to the problem of food and grass on the grassland.
Because later on, the food on the grassland had become completely dependent on the Central Plains, and it was completely dependent on transportation from the Central Plains. Kublai Khan cut off the food roads in the grassland.
Your army can only eat beef and mutton, and drink cow and goat milk. This was fine for the Mongolian herdsmen who were accustomed to living a hard life in the past, but it was not OK for the Mongolians who later enjoyed the glory and wealth.
Without food to eat, their combat effectiveness plummeted, and they were finally defeated by the Han army led by Kublai Khan.
Although the grain output in the land of Xiliao is also high, it cannot be compared with that of the Central Plains.
Compared with the grain output in the Central Plains region, haha, the Central Plains is number one in this era.
He now occupies the land of Guanzhong and part of the land of Xixia.
After occupying Sichuan and Shu, the land of abundance, food production will increase explosively.
What Zhang Yong will do in the future is to export a large amount of grain to the grassland and form complete economic control over the grassland.
As for the control of food at the lowest level, let the father-in-law use the food from Xiliao to open the mouths of the kings of the East.
As long as one of the host kings uses these grains, there will be a second, third, and then all the host kings, after Tuo Lei is overthrown, they will fall to Wo Kuotai.
When the food supply in Xiliao is insufficient, the father-in-law will ask for it from himself.
As his good son-in-law, Zhang Yong naturally wants to export food to the grassland.
And we only charge the cost price and shipping fee.
Once the grassland forms a complete dependence on food.
At that time, I will have the final say. This is called economic repression.
Compared with people of this era, Zhang Yong has a natural advantage. You can see three steps away, but I can already see ten steps away.
"Yeah! Just do it this way. Those Xixia people you gave me before have already lived and worked in peace and contentment on the land of Xiliao.
Now they are reclaiming wasteland, planting food, or opening mines for me. Wait until next year, and I will start to agree to the requests of these host kings one after another. "Wokuotai said.
Zhang Yong is really his lucky star. He gave himself such a powerful plan as soon as he arrived.
"By the way, there is one more thing. In this expedition to the Kingdom of Jin, you must help me win the position of commander.
According to some information I got, Tuo Lei has united a large group of host kings, and now he also wants to compete for the position of commander. "Wokuotai said.
Only now did he remember that he called Zhang Yong over this time to talk about this matter. He was definitely destined to win the position of commander-in-chief.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I am fully confident about this matter, and I will definitely take away the position of sub-commander for you." Zhang Yong said.
If he hadn't established Genghis Khan in advance, then Zhang Yong wouldn't dare to be confident. He could only say that he was 80% sure.
But now I have met Genghis Khan, and even Genghis Khan gave him an even bigger surprise, that is, he would have to build a stronghold behind him.
You, Wokuotai, are all sweating. Can you escape from the position of commander-in-chief?
Isn't this your first battle after becoming the Great Khan?
This position has actually been decided on Wo Kuotai.
It's just that it's hard for Zhang Yong to say it now. After all, Genghis Khan told him.
This matter must not be leaked before the Khuliltai Conference is held.
Because Genghis Khan obviously wanted to give his third son a big surprise.
At the same time, his fourth son suffered a huge psychological and physical blow.
The battle for the throne has completely come to an end, but Wogotai, as the party involved, has not realized it yet.
Otherwise, why do you think so many host kings would contact you secretly and privately?
Why didn't any of the kings of the Western Path go to contact Tuo Lei?
That's why, my dear father-in-law.
Unconsciously, you have laid all the foundations for victory. At this time, Tuo Lei has no way out unless he sends troops to rebel.
"Well, with your boy's protection, I feel more at ease. As long as I can defeat the Kingdom of Jin this time, then the position of the Great Khan will be mine." Wo Kuotai nodded and said.
In Wo Kuotai's opinion, after completely destroying the Jin Kingdom, his accumulated military exploits were on par with Tuo Lei.
By then, Tuo Lei will be at a complete disadvantage, no matter in terms of political or military achievements, without any chance of a comeback.
But if this time the position of commander of the Jin Kingdom's war is taken away by Tuo Lei, it will be a big disaster for him.
Tuo Leihui completely surpassed himself in terms of reputation by virtue of his contribution to the destruction of the Jin Kingdom.
"Father-in-law! There are some things that my son-in-law cannot tell you openly.
But there will be a huge surprise for you at the end of this Khuliltai Conference.
You need to make some mental preparations first. "Zhang Yong showed a mysterious smile and said.
"Did Father Khan say something to you?
Father Khan wouldn't have already confirmed that I am the commander-in-chief, right?
Don't play tricks on me, kid, tell me now. "Wogotai saw Zhang Yong's expression and immediately knew that this kid was hiding something from him, so he quickly grabbed Zhang Yong and asked.
At this time, he did not dare to think that soon, he would naturally inherit the position of Great Khan of Mongolia.
Because his father Genghis Khan is not dead yet! He didn't dare to think that he would inherit the throne in advance.
Therefore, he felt that he should have been appointed to be the commander-in-chief of this attack on the Kingdom of Jin.
"Hahaha! We Han people have a saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
That is, if you are too hasty, you will not get things done, so be patient.
Please wait for a moment and don't be in a hurry.
Anyway, everything is in your favor now, father-in-law, just don't worry. "Zhang Yong said.
"Okay! After this matter is settled and the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, I will propose to Father Khan to send someone to help you take over the land of Sichuan and Shu." Wo Kuotai said.
Cheap father-in-law! I'm afraid you won't need to propose to the Great Khan by then, because you will be the Great Khan of Mongolia yourself.
You can already make the decision on some things, and Genghis Khan should delegate some rights to you by then.
After chatting with Wo Kuotai for a while, Zhang Yong stood up and left. This time they met, the two of them had a very happy conversation.
As soon as he came out of the tent and took a few steps, Zhang Yong was grabbed by a woman. The woman who grabbed him was none other than Fatima.
"Don't make trouble. This is Wokuotai's territory after all. If you miss me, come to my tent tonight." Zhang Yong said.
"I'm not making a fuss, I'm just here to tell you that you have something serious to do. Ogedei's wife Tolegona wants to see you, so she specifically asked me to come find you." Fatima said. (End of chapter)
