Prevent theft for two hours and cover it after two hours.

———————

Male Gobi is an ordinary Yuan man living near the Liaohe River. He was originally a nomad from a tribe and had his own horses, cattle and sheep. However, due to the war, his cattle, sheep and flattery were collected by the court.

However, the biggest feature of the Male Gobi is that it is indomitable and has never seen any difficulties when it grows so big on the grassland.

What should I do if there are no cattle and sheep? Then steal and rob.

In this regard, Male Gobi can be said to be quite skilled in his business.

It didn't take long to accumulate a lot of wealth again.

But no matter how many cattle, sheep and horses there are, there is still a very important problem, that is, he does not have clothes on hand, or can drink tea, etc., these must-haves in life.

The clothes were fine, but I just said I could just wear the fur of the beast.

But there is really no way to do anything about tea and other things.

The key is that this is still necessary for survival, especially tea and salt. Although drinking tea seems to be just a drink, for the people on the grassland, tea has very necessary elements.

If this element of life is missing, you may get sick, so they are a must-have activity for drinking tea every day, let alone salt.

Before that, Male Gobi wanted to obtain tea and salt, but there was no way to steal it.

I can only wait for the caravan to come to trade, or wait for someone in the tribe to come back with these things to trade.

And these prices are often very expensive.

After all, they also spent a lot of effort to snatch it from the Ming Dynasty, so naturally they couldn't get any cheaper.

However, I heard that the trade between the two countries was about to start, and Male Gobi was also very energetic after hearing this.

If there is really a trade trade, then take your own cattle, sheep and horses to the border and sell these people to the Ming Dynasty, and then buy the necessary salt and tea from the Ming Dynasty.

This also reduces a lot of risks.

However, whether this trade can be opened is another matter.

The Male Gobi did not have much hope anyway. The Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty fought so fiercely, so it was still possible to say that the border trade would be opened.

After all, it was the first border trade, and everyone was very cautious.

I don’t know if there are any conspiracies or tricks in this, so I didn’t go there together and let everyone move at will.

Instead, each tribe sent some representatives, and then the Northern Yuan Dynasty court organized them to go there together.

It's like a caravan sent by the state.

Male Gobi set out with such an organization. Because he was worried about encountering danger, Male Gobi was fully armed.

The cattle, sheep and horses on hand did not bring much.

Mahler just came to see the situation casually. Anyway, if the border trade is opened, it will continue. It will not be too late to trade when it comes again next time.

Male Gobi thought so in his mind, so he followed his tribe members and soon arrived at the border trade place.

The place where they traded here is not far from where their tribe is. They just walked for three days and arrived at the place.

And those people from other tribes have obviously arrived here one step ahead of them.

Then many people from the Ming Dynasty also arrived at the border.

Compared with the grassland, most of them are leading cattle, sheep and horses. When Daming comes over, it can be said that the products are rich.

Not only are there cars of silk, but also boxes of exquisite goods, as well as what they need most, tea and salt, these necessities for survival.

As for those glasses, they are naturally sold to rich people.

And ordinary people came here to stare at clothes, salt, tea, and these three things.

It is also what they need the most. If there are some conditions, they will naturally have to buy a pot.

After all, it is not easy to make a pot on the grassland.

Even with this forging ability, the Northern Yuan government could not let the people buy it on the market at random.

All the metal is used to create weapons.

Male Gobi also happened to see a place selling various stoves and pots in the market. Male Gobi's eyes were straightened at that time.

They used to have to give up this, but they had to give their lives to take them back.

Now it can be bought directly on the market. What kind of paradise is this!

However, Male Gobi did not bring much property this time, and even if you want to buy all these products home, you are powerless.

But it doesn’t matter. I have a lot of cattle and sheep. When I go back, I will bring a group of people here and buy everything I should buy next time.

Male Gobi thought so in his mind, and then he walked to a place where tea was sold and asked about the price casually.

I originally thought the other party would be willing to barter with him, after all, this is what we do when we trade.

However, when he proposed to take out the cattle, sheep and horses and exchange tea with him, the other party hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

While waving his hand to refuse, he said carefully:

"We have a rule in this business, that is, we cannot exchange things for things. If you want to buy my tea, you must come with the money."

"banknote?"

When Male Gobi heard this new term, he was a little confused.

What is money? How could he know?

The other party quickly took out a brand new Mingyuan bill and showed it to Male Gobi, and then explained in detail how to obtain the bill.

Simply put, it is to open a bank in a place where border trade is held.

In addition to being responsible for savings business, this bank also has a new business, that is, pawning.

If people on the grassland want to get money, they will take their things to the bank to pawn.

Then you can go to the market to buy things.

There are also constant Jinyiwei in the market. No, now it should be called the patrol of the customs department, which is to prevent people from trading privately with those merchants and people on the grassland.

Male Gobi didn't expect that things would be so troublesome, but he could only abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

Who made this trade dominated by Daming?

I owed my own cattle, sheep and horses to the bank first, hoping to get a good price.

I still hope that this bank is in my heart, but I must not treat myself as a pig.

If it is cheap, I don't necessarily want to sell them.

Just thinking about Male Gobi, I soon arrived at the bank entrance, but I saw many grassland men lined up here.

And before they entered, they were all worried expressions like him.

After all, I have to exchange my cattle and sheep for money, and I don’t know if it can be valuable, so I naturally feel sad in my heart.

However, when I came out, I was very happy to see the expressions on my faces, and I didn't look like I was at a loss.

When Male Gobi saw everyone's reaction, he felt relieved. At least judging from everyone's reaction, this bank is not a scam.

I quickly walked in, and there was a high counter in front, as if I was clicking on a different counter. A young man sat behind the railing, looking down at the account book in his hand, and asked without raising his head:

"Are you here to save money or mortgage?"

This is the first time Male Gobi has dealt with a bank, and he is still very nervous.

However, according to the other party's inquiry, he answered honestly, of course, he sold the cattle and sheep in his hand for money.

As for mortgage, Male Gobi never thought about it.

After hearing what Male Gobi said, the bank staff quickly explained in detail to him.

Our bank is not a business dealer. If we accept cattle and sheep, we cannot dissect the cattle and sheep, and we can sell the fur or meat for money, so we mortgage it.

The mortgage is naturally very simple. If you leave the cattle and sheep here, we will keep it for you for the time being. As for how to deal with it, it is our business.

I will give you a certain amount of money. If you want to bring these cattle and sheep back one day, then I will just come here to exchange it with gold, silver and jewelry.

The ones who returned it were definitely not the original cattle and sheep, but the number would not be wrong.

The words are clear, but why does Male Gobi feel that it is a little strange?

I brought the cattle and sheep to exchange for banknotes, and I didn’t know what these papers could do, but if I wanted to take the cattle and sheep back, I had to exchange them for gold, silver and jewelry.

In other words, whenever you go in and out, in addition to getting a pile of waste paper, you also get a lot of silver and gold.

Isn’t this mean that I exchanged silver and gold for these banknotes?

But if you think about it, you can also go to the market to buy various goods with these banknotes.

It's not a loss. It's just that I have to get silver and gold to redeem these cattle and sheep, which is a little troublesome.

To put it bluntly, this is a typical example of pulling gold and silver to the Ming Dynasty, and then releasing Ming Dynasty banknotes for neighboring countries to use.

Over time, you can control gold and silver, send money to other countries as mainstream currencies, and then randomly manipulate the economies of other countries.

Male Gobi naturally didn't know so much. He quickly returned to the market with the banknotes, and then bought the tea with the banknotes.
