That is medicinal material!

Whether it is the Central Plains caravan or the Grassland caravan, the goods they trade contain medicinal materials, which is the only duplicate goods.

Another commodity is salt.

It is probably because the sea salt shipped from the Central Plains contains iodine, so people on the grasslands need sea salt.

But there is also salt on the grassland, not much, it is lake salt or well salt.

This category produces non-iodized salt, white salt is non-iodized salt; and green salt is used to clean teeth and rinse mouth, and is a good oral cleaning product.

For other things, there are basically no duplicate items.

"One more thing." Wishing: "We, Dazhen, can't sell any ironware or a grain of grain to the grassland! We can't even smuggle them with tea and salt."

These four things are taboo.

"Of course!" Tie Qing said, "Whoever dares to smuggle will be courting death!"

If you dare to sell this ironware and food to the grassland, it is a crime of treason.

Salt and tea are goods that need to be purchased at high prices on the grasslands and paid high taxes.

For other things, the taxes are actually not low, but they are sold at a reasonable price and make a lot of money.

"So, the court is about to start border trade?" Tie Qing looked at and made a wish: "What does this have to do with us?"

It seems to be a little bit wrong.

"Of course it has something to do with it." Wishing dumbfounded: "Border trade, our Shanlang Pass is also a border pass! Where is Kaichang Kai? There are as many as 24 key towns here in the whole world, and there are [-] that are suitable for opening. !"

"So much?" Tie Qing clicked his lips.

"Isn't it? I think back then, the Northwest Fengshakou was originally a small broken place, but later it became a battleground for military strategists. The heads of those who beat people were beaten with dog heads. Finally, after the previous dynasty settled the world, it was built there. After passing through Fengsha Pass, they erected a majestic pass with stones, opened border trade there, and established a market place. In ten years, it became the Xiongguan Pass in the Northwest, an important town, and a steady stream of good horses in the Northwest. Continuously sent to the court, silk from the south of the Yangtze River, spices from overseas, where they exchanged horses, jewelry, and even Persian dancers with the barbarians outside the pass! In the middle of the previous dynasty, the world taxed, and there was Fengshaguan in the first three miles name."

"Is it like this?" Tie Qing's eyes widened: "Is that a questionable place? Is that a cornucopia?"

"What do you think?" Wishing said in a low voice, "Since the court can openly report this matter in the mansion newspaper, it must be opened. In fact, there were rumors a few years ago, but there was no movement after that. It's probably true this time."

Tie Qing also remembered that he said a few years ago that he was going to open a border trade, but then he didn't make any noise.

This time I finally saw it in the mansion newspaper, indicating that Chao Ding was indeed about to make a move.

"Then you come to find the general, he is a military general and not a civil servant." Tie Qing thinks that this kind of thing is probably done by civil servants.

Don't say that Xiao Wei is a general, even if he is a civil servant, he is still a local official, not a Beijing official.

"I just want to ask the general, what does Jingzhong mean? Can we have a golden phoenix here?" Wishing: "My father doesn't have any background or connections, let alone contact Jingli."

"The general can't get in touch with Beijing. Let me tell you, he only has a few comrades in Beijing. The other civil servants don't have much friendship, and the general doesn't care about it." Tie Qing thought for a while: "If you don't give up, you can ask to see the eldest son."

"Forget it, you've already said that." Wishing was a little frustrated: "It seems that I can't find out any news."

Tie Qing can't help it. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?

Brother Xiao, knowing that Xiao Hui was back, took the children to see her. Later, Fulang Xi also went, and they were all at Aunt Xiao's house. It was very lively. Aunt Xiao specially made tofu mixed with shallots for everyone to eat.

The craftsmanship has not changed for many years, and it is still so good that Brother Xiao loves to eat it.

Later when Xi Fulang returned to the General's Mansion, Jia Fulang who was beside him told him the purpose of the couple's return.

"Why didn't you hear what Xiao Hui said?" Xi Fulang frowned slightly: "It's just an inquiry."

"Probably because I was afraid of causing trouble to the eldest son, so I didn't mention it." Jiafulang brought him a bowl of hot milk: "I also heard what the laughing husband said, so I asked a special question, and the laughing husband also said Tie Qing was also afraid of troubling the general, so he said that this matter depends on God's will."

Xi Fulang took a sip of milk and rubbed his stomach: "It's not God's will, it's not my father who has the final say? He still owes favors here, why doesn't Tie Qing know how to use it? Talk to Jingzhong Don't those people have any contact at all?"

"Tie Qing and Xiaofulang are both very dutiful people. Tie Qing even thinks that they come to take care of his body, and if he gives money, he will take care of it. After returning home, he probably didn't think about how to maintain this relationship. Seeing that he took the initiative to give gifts to so-and-so in Beijing, let's remind him, he just brought some things over by the way, and he didn't give gifts alone once!" Jiafulang also admired Tie Qing and Xiaofulang, if it was someone else , this relationship has been maintained for a long time, and the couple seems to be missing a muscle. If it weren't for the people from the Dagongzi's mansion, they would remind them several times every year when they go to Beijing, these two people really don't intend to Give gifts to Beijing, and don’t give any expensive things as gifts. They are all farm specialties, such as sauerkraut, dried radish, frozen cabbage, etc. They are indeed local specialties that are too slag.

But those people in Beijing really like it!

I don't know what's wrong.

The relationship has been maintained in the past few years, and the things Beijing Zhonghua has given are not expensive, but many of them are rare.

For example, good fabrics, some dried sea cucumbers, swallow cups and the like are less, but there are many dried bamboo shoots, good tea leaves, and some things that are not available in the Northeast.

This kind of friendship is quite a bit like "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water".

Who knew that Tie Qing was really as light as water, and it wasn't a big deal, it was just a matter of asking for news, and he didn't even think of sending a letter to Jingzhong.

I also feel that I have nothing to do with this matter, and the attention is not as good as those farm tools in their family.

By the way, Tie Qing began to think about his own plow stick again. Their plow stick has six heads, and once it comes out, twelve ridges will come out!

"Both of them are honest people." Xi Fulang thought for a while: "If this matter is accomplished, it will be good for the husband. At least no one will covet his position anymore. Don’t send people over, and try to take over the Northeast Camp, and at the same time, the father is in good health, and the sixth brother has a boy, and he has an heir, which is very good.”

Jia Fulang didn't know what the eldest son meant by this?

"The favors owed must be repaid." Xi Fulang stood up: "Go to the study and grind the ink. I want to write a notebook and have a few letters."

"Yes!" Jia Fulang hurriedly waited on the eldest son and went to the study.

Xi Fulang wrote a memorial and four letters, and sent them to Kyoto.

A solemn memorial to please.

The four letters were addressed to Father Huang, Prince Sixth Brother, Zhen Guogong, and Ding Guogong.

Tie Qing felt that the important affairs of the court were far away from him, and he was more concerned about Xiao Fulang's stomach. When a month was up, Dr. Li came to take his pulse: "Congratulations, yes."

"That's great!" Tie Qing clapped his hands, "Thank you, Doctor Li."

Dr. Li took another red envelope and left, Xiaoge rubbed his belly and was also very happy: "Finally I have it again."

Brother Shan is five years old, Brother Xiao is also thirty, and it will be too late if he doesn't give birth.

Tie Qing said: "Be careful in the future and take good care of the fetus. I will arrange manpower right away. Our family has cows and goats from the county town. I will go and order four wet nurses."

"Don't worry about the nurse, I've already made an order." Brother Xiao smiled shyly.

"Have you decided?" Tie Qing was taken aback: "Who are they all?"

"It's the three sisters of the Hao family, and sister-in-law Xinghua." Xiao Geer said, "We have agreed that the pregnancy is only a few months away, and I can trust them."

The most important thing is that the two come to breastfeed the child, and the remaining children can be mixed.

He is also reliable, and he is also trustworthy.

"Okay, listen to you!" Tie Qing thought, isn't it true that the people in my family can still be trusted: "Give me more wages."

Their family hired wet nurses with high wages and good supplements. Instead of making it easier for outsiders, it is better to make it easier for their own family.

"Yeah!" Brother Xiao was happy: "This child was probably born in the first lunar month."

Tie Qing calculated: "The days in the first month."

It's impossible to say exactly which day.

"Birthday is big enough." Brother Xiao rubbed his stomach again.

None of the family's birthdays are in the first month, and the earliest are in the second half of the year.

If this child was born in the first month, that birthday would indeed be old enough, and the whole family would not be as old as him!

When the couple were happily discussing the birth of their child, Brother Xiaoshan was having fun riding a small wooden horse outside, and the family was very happy.

Starting in mid-March, when the ice and snow melt, Kaijiang fish will be available.

At home, Tie Qing ate braised, steamed, stewed, fried, all with seeds.

Even river prawns, river mussels, and various soups that Brother Xiao eats, there is also fish soup.

"Wouldn't you feel the strong fishy smell, would you feel sick?" Tie Qing remembered that when Brother Xiao was pregnant with Brother Shan, he vomited a few times. When he got up early in the morning, he vomited some acid water before eating. It looked like a pain. up.

"No, I think it's delicious." Xiao Ge'er can eat anything, even fish, he thinks it's good. He even ate a whole braised carp in one sitting.

Even the garlic-roasted catfish killed as many as two, and the big catfish was full of oil and water.

He also ate two large bowls of rice. If he was not afraid of eating too much, he could mix fish soup with rice and have another bowl.

"Really?" Tie Qing smiled, and turned to Dr. Li to give him a pulse.

"Very good, very healthy." Dr. Li did not see anything wrong.

Tie Qing asked him quietly: "Then he doesn't feel fishy when he eats fish, and he can eat and drink every meal, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable, such as acid reflux."

Dr. Li couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "People who are pregnant don't necessarily have to toss and turn. Some people have a good life, good health, good food, and will have a smooth childbirth in the future. Your husband's first child will also be easy. , this is the second child, so don't be nervous."
