Chapter 223 For Ouyang Lun, become the queen of the grassland! (Please subscribe!!)
"Replying to the Chief Envoy, the owner of the mutton shop is a man, and he is married and has children." Shiha explained, but when he looked at Ouyang Lun, his eyes were quite puzzled, "Why would the Chief Envoy think that he is good at killing sheep?" Is it a woman?"
"Ahem, I'm just making random guesses. Don't think too much." Ouyang Lun smiled awkwardly and continued: "In that case, let's go and have a look."
When Ouyang Lun and Shiha arrived at the mutton shop, they happened to be recognized by a Ming businessman.
"It's Mr. Ouyang!"
"The common people have met Mr. Ouyang!"
"I didn't expect Master Ouyang to come to Qinghe City."
"It is rumored that Qinghe City was built by Mr. Ouyang for us businessmen and common people, just to facilitate the people of the Ming and Yuan Dynasties!"
"Master Ouyang is so kind!"
"May you be blessed, Lord Ouyang!"
Seeing Ouyang Lun appear, Ming merchants and people all made way for him, cheering in the streets, with smiles on their faces, and their eyes looking at Ouyang Lun were full of excitement.
This scene naturally fell in the eyes of the surrounding grassland people. Many of them had been to Qinghe City many times, but this was the first time they saw the people of Ming Dynasty treat an official with such respect and affection.
Duo Tu, the owner of the mutton shop, was one of them. After hearing the noise, he subconsciously put down the knife to kill the sheep and looked in the direction of Ouyang Lun.
"Boss Zhang, who is this! Why do you think he is so noble in the minds of you Ming people?"
Duotu turned to his good friend next to him, Boss Zhang, and asked.
Boss Zhang also looked at him with admiration, and said in a low voice: "This is Ouyang Lun, the Chief Minister of Northern Zhili in the Ming Dynasty. I can't finish telling his story in a while. I will go into detail when I have time." Let me tell you, in a word, Lord Ouyang Lun has a very high prestige in the eyes of us Ming people!"
Chief envoy!
Darling, that is the boss of a province. On the grassland, he is definitely one of the leaders of the big tribes who have the last say except Emperor Yuan!
But this Chief Minister looks really young!
Duo Tu was still thinking, but Ouyang Lun had already stepped in front of Duo Tu's mutton shop.
"Looking at you like this, you must be a grassland person, right?"
Ouyang Lun asked with a smile.
"Sir, my name is Duotu, and I am from the Heshuo tribe. This shop is opened by our Heshuo tribe. And I am the shopkeeper of this mutton shop!" Duotu said respectfully.
"I heard that you kill sheep very quickly, as fast as a cook can kill an ox. Can you show it to me so that it can open my eyes?"
Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
In his previous life, he had seen it on short video platforms. Now that he has seen it today, it can be regarded as fulfilling a dream from his previous life.
Hearing this, Duotu not only did not feel angry, but also felt a little proud. After all, even an official as big as the Chief Envoy wanted to see his sheep-killing skills. This was definitely a kind of recognition!
"Ok."
Duo Tu calmed down, then picked up the short knife on the chopping board, and started to attack the sheep on the chopping board. Between the light of the knife and the flint, the sheep's skin was peeled off intact, and then the meat was divided. The light of the knife continued. The mutton's body flickered so fast that one could only see the afterimage.
Soon a whole sheep was cut into eight pieces by Duo Tu, and the incense on the incense burner was about to be burned out.
"it is good!"
Ouyang Lun took the lead in applauding, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
This stick of incense takes about 5 minutes, which means that it only takes less than 5 minutes to process a sheep in this multi-image.
Sure enough, practice makes perfect!
"Seeing that you are also good at handling sheep, I am planning to reward the workers on the construction site. I need a lot of mutton. Are you willing to take it? You don't have to worry about the price. You will never suffer a loss."
The craftsmen on the Great Wall construction site have been working hard for almost half a year to turn Ouyang Lun's plan for the Great Wall into reality. Ouyang Lun has been thinking about how to reward them.
When he saw the mutton shop, he was convinced.
Just treat the craftsmen at the Great Wall construction site to a roasted whole lamb! !
Hearing this, Duotu was immediately stunned. He never expected that the chief envoy of the Ming Dynasty would actually want to make a deal with him personally.
A lot?
How much?
Now I can sell three or four sheep every day!
Doing business with high officials is still very troublesome. If the quantity is not large, Duo Tu would even want to refuse.
Just when Duotu was hesitating, Boss Zhang reminded him: "Brother Duotu, it must be a big business for Mr. Ouyang to do business with you personally. Why don't you take it quickly! What are you still thinking about? !”
"Chief Ambassador, since Boss Zhang has said it, let me follow up. I would like to ask how many sheep you need. If there are not many, I can give them to you now."
Duo Tu said quite proudly.
In order to sell mutton in Qinghe City for a long time, he specially raised hundreds of sheep outside Qinghe City.
Ouyang Lun smiled slightly and said, "I don't need much. I have 200 million workers. If ten people enjoy one sheep, I need 20 for the time being. If we can get it all today, that would be great."
As soon as this word comes out.
The scene suddenly quieted down.
Duo Tu was stunned by such a huge number.
"Mr. Chief Envoy, are you sure you want 20 sheep?"
Duo Tu started to stutter when he spoke.
Ouyang Lun nodded, "Of course, 20 sheep is the minimum amount. It would be better to have more. After all, the workers have a larger appetite. I'm afraid they won't have enough to eat and they will call me stingy."
"As for what you want to exchange for, whether it's money, food or other things, you can definitely make a list. I have what you want, and I have what you can't think of."
"how?"
"20 to 20 sheep." Duotu kept mumbling.
"Master Chief Envoy, I cannot make the decision on such a big matter. Please allow me to go back and report to the leader of our tribe before I can decide whether to accept it or not."
"Okay! If I'm not here then, you can just ask Leader Shiha." Ouyang Lun nodded.
"Thank you sir."
Duotu immediately started to clean up the shop, Ma Liu closed the door, and then galloped out of Qinghe City on horseback.
"This Duo Tu is still impatient." Seeing this scene, Ouyang Lun said with emotion.
Shiha muttered: "This is a business of 20 sheep! Don't talk too much, even any prairie man will go crazy!"
"Good boy, my son-in-law, ahem, the chief envoy here is really powerful. He can do business worth a million taels in one move!" "Chief Shiha, what are you muttering behind?" Ouyang Lun turned around and asked.
"Lord Arraymaster, I want to say, why do you leave such a big deal to Duotu! Just leave it to me!"
"The Heshuo Tribe can't handle such a big business, if things get messed up."
Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "I have my own intentions. If you have the ability, you can cooperate with him, but you must not rob others, you know?"
"Yes." Although Shiha was very confused, he still nodded in agreement and planned to go back to his daughter Azuna to discuss it and find out the intention first.
"You know what I mean?"
"Understood."
"I really understand."
"Yeah." Shiha nodded repeatedly. Whatever, he should come down first and go back to ask his daughter.
"Shiha, you can do it! No wonder you can develop Qinghe City so well, far beyond my expectation. I was a little worried at first, but this inspection made me believe that you can indeed manage it well. From today on, you will officially take office Lord of Qinghe City!"
"Follow me and work hard, I'm sure you'll be happy and drink spicy food."
Ouyang Lun nodded happily.
"Ah!" Happiness came so suddenly, Shiha was a little overwhelmed. After forcing himself to calm down, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Chief Envoy! I, Shiha, will do a good job!"
"Ah."
Ouyang Lun then inspected Qinghe City again, made some suggestions and left.
"Mr. Chief Minister, please move slowly!"
"Come back here again!"
Seeing Ouyang Lun's carriage go away, Shiha straightened his back and softened his smile, "I have to discuss it with my daughter quickly!"
"Father!"
Just when Shiha was about to turn around, Azuna's voice came from behind.
"Daughter, aren't you settling accounts in the accounting room? Why are you here? Well, you're not following me all the time, are you?" Shiha asked quickly.
"Ah."
Azuna looked at the carriage that was about to disappear on the horizon with fascination, and nodded slightly.
"Hey——!" Looking at his daughter's look, Shiha couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "Daughter, your father and I are now the official city lord of Qinghe City. As long as we develop Qinghe City better, sooner or later I will be able to appear in Bubu with dignity. In front of the envoy!"
"Not only is it not enough to develop Qinghe City well, I can do more for him!" As Ouyang Lun disappeared in a carriage in the distance, Asuna looked back reluctantly, "Father, do you think if we The Chita tribe becomes the first tribe in the grassland, and you become the overlord of the grassland, am I the princess of the grassland?"
Ah!
Shiha was shocked by Azuna's words.
"If you make the Chita tribe the first tribe on the grassland, of course you will be the princess of the grassland, but isn't this goal too difficult to achieve? We, the Chita tribe, are marginalized tribes on the grassland and have no chance at all."
Shiha felt that his daughter was stunned. Others worked hard for money and power, but his daughter was all for men.
"Father, we may not have had much chance in the past, but it's different now. We have Qinghe City, and we also have his support!"
"Because of him, I have been studying Han culture recently and found that there were many powerful women in the Central Plains dynasty, such as Wu Zhao, Mi Bazi, Lu Pheasant, etc. Especially Wu Zhao, she became a generation of emperors!"
"Why can't I?" Azuna's eyes were full of fighting spirit, "At that time, I can stand upright in front of him!"
In order to be worthy of the man you like, make yourself a prairie queen? ! !
If it really succeeds, it will truly become a legend.
"Ahem, daughter, we will talk about this matter of unifying the grassland later. In addition to appointing me as the lord of Qinghe City, the Chief Envoy also arranged something. I don't understand something. Please hurry up and consult with my staff. !”
Shiha quickly told Azuna about Ouyang Lun's purchase of 20 sheep from the grassland.
"20 sheep?" Azuna lowered her head and thought for a while, then a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she smiled lightly, "As expected of a man I admire, this move is really wonderful!"
"Father, if my guess is correct, he is going to use these 20 sheep to completely open up the market on the grassland! Make money from the grassland people!"
"I bought 20 sheep on the grassland in one go. I am making money from the grassland people here and there. I am obviously giving money to the grassland people." Shiha muttered.
"Father, I don't know how to explain it to you at this moment, but this is an opportunity for us to expand our strength and influence, and we must not miss it!" Azuna said solemnly.
"Daughter, what should we do now? My future son-in-law has already handed over this business to Duotu of the Heshuo tribe, and also asked me not to steal his business." Shiha frowned.
"But he also agreed to let us participate. The reason why he said this was probably because he didn't want us to eat alone. Didn't he specifically ask you at the end if you understood what he meant?" Azuna said with a smile.
Shiha suddenly realized, "This is what my future son-in-law is asking me if I understand!"
"Fortunately, father, you showed that you understood, so he felt free to hand over Qinghe City to you. If you didn't understand, I'm afraid the position of Lord of Qinghe City would belong to someone else."
"That's it!" Shiha couldn't help but feel a little happy, "Daughter, it's really thanks to you this time!"
"Father, I have to rush to the Heshuo tribe. I need you to stay in Qinghe City. I believe that soon the transaction of these 20 sheep will affect the entire grassland. We must take the initiative in our own hands. If the surrounding tribal leaders find You are discussing the matter of buying sheep, don’t rush to agree, wait until I come back!”
Azuna warned.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Duotu returned to the Heshuo tribe with the news that the chief envoy of Northern Zhili in the Ming Dynasty wanted to purchase 20 sheep.
Today, Duotu has a very high status in the Heshuo tribe and has won the trust of the Heshuo leader.
"The leader of Duotu is back!"
"Brother Duotu, what else is there in Qinghe City?"
"Uncle Duotu, have you brought me some candy?"
Duotu looked serious and ignored these, but went straight to the leader's tent.
Leader Heshuo was gathering with other leaders of the tribe to discuss matters. He was a little surprised when he saw Duotu walking in. He quickly asked: "Duotu, aren't you in Qinghe City? Why did you come back suddenly?"
"But it's good to come back, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Although you have exchanged a lot of necessary supplies for the tribe in Qinghe City during this period, I discussed it with other leaders today and decided not to go to Qinghe City again in the future. You will go and move all the things in Qinghe City later. come back!"
"Don't have anything to do with them from now on!"
