Hada City is not as thick as the Kaiyuan city wall, but it is obviously more lively than Kaiyuan, and has not yet entered the city, and has seen the travelers in and out from afar, and some people are still driving a large number of cattle and sheep, which is very lively.
Seeing a large army coming, those merchants of all ethnic groups were a little frightened, but fortunately they saw clearly that it was the banner of the Ming army, and they did not flee in the wilderness, but they also drove the cattle and sheep to the side of the road early and made way for them.
Seeing this scene, Xia Xun was also worried about the shock that such a large army might cause when it suddenly appeared outside Hada City, so he proposed to the young imperial envoy, Xiao Bingbei and others to lead only dozens of cavalry guards to enter the city alone.
Seeing that Hada City was already in sight, and nothing would happen in such a short distance, a few people also agreed, and the four of them rushed to Hada City with dozens of guards, while the army camped and waited by the roadside.
Hada City is a very simple earthen city, it is estimated that the main purpose of the establishment of this earthen city is to facilitate the herdsmen of all ethnic groups to enter the trade, so it is not majestic, just to the city, there are dozens of horsemen galloping towards the front, the bearded men on the horse are all strong, the saber under the ribs, the bow on the shoulder, Xia Xun's guards immediately like the enemy, ready for battle.
When those people galloped in front of them and saw their appearances clearly, one of them was greatly surprised, and said in a lost voice: "It's you again, you are Han generals."
Xia Xun fixed his eyes and saw that among those Hu people, a pretty girl dressed in men's clothes was the female city manager he had seen a few days ago, and he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I see you again, girl, we are really fated."
The girl gave him a big roll of the eyes, and said, "Bah, who has a fate with you" Ding Yu laughed angrily: "Who the hell is this girl, you girl, it was just a matter of neglecting the ministry last time, we came out of the micro-service, and did not show our identity, so it is not strange that you don't know."
This time, you have clearly seen the identity of the minister, and you dare to be so rude."
The girl said angrily: "You have such a big breath, who are you scaring and what kind of step hall, this girl has never heard that this is our Hada City, not your Kaiyuan, who told you to lead a large group of people and horses for no reason, bluffing the people in the city do not know the details, and they also said that they want to fight."
Xiao Bingbei said slowly: "The ministry is the governor, and the governor is an official who is bigger than the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, who is in charge of all affairs in Liaodong, understand, little girl, call your family Bayi out to greet the lord of the ministry."
The girl couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard Xiao Bingbei's words, she blinked a pair of big eyes, looked at Xia Xun seriously, and hesitated: "Governor, you are Governor Yang."
Xia Xun said with a smile: "It's me" The girl looked him up and down a few more times, and without saying a word, she turned her horse and left, and the warriors who came out with her immediately turned their horses and left, Ding Yu shook his head and said, "These Hu women are so unruly. ” Xia Xun listened to the honorific titles of Lord Bayi and the rich lords in Avanti, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is this Bayi named Bayi?"
Xiao Bingbei said: "The Lord of the Ministry has misunderstood, this Bayi is their honorific title for the powerful and wealthy people in the clan, and the city lord of Hada City is called Gur Ma Hun, which translates into our Chinese to mean rabbit." ” In fact, the Jurchens did not have a written language at that time, and the Mongolian script was also used, and the Mongolian script evolved from the Uighur language, so there are many untouched Uighur elements in both the Jurchen script and the Mongols.
Lord Bayi is an honorific title that they have copied from the Uighur language.
Xia Xun smiled and said, "Why are their names so weird?"
Xiao Bingbei also smiled: "Their names are like this, the girls are better, most of them are named after things like flowers and plants, and the men's names are birds and beasts, and everything is used."
Last time, the Jurchen who wanted to sell sheep to the ministry was called Yarha, which means leopard skin in Chinese.
They also have some names, such as Nurhachi, which means wild boar skin, Shulhaqi which means small wild boar skin, Dudu means spotted finch, Kurtang means gray crane, and Mafuta means stag."
Ding Dusi and the young envoy didn't understand these things, and after listening to Xiao Bingbei's explanation, he couldn't help but laugh, Xia Xun said in his heart: "No wonder some people later called Jurchen a wild boar skin, it turns out that the root is here, and the Chinese meaning of Nuerhachi's real name is like this."
But he didn't laugh, it's just the habit of naming people, it's really nothing funny, the Han people have a cheap name since ancient times, what cats and dogs have a lot of names, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is called "Yi", Yi is a wild boar, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't just give this name, making fun of other people's names, it is really ungraceful.
Xiao Bingbei bought a Jurchen girl from Yarha as a concubine a few days ago, although this is not a big deal, but if the governor knows that he buys and sells human beings from smugglers, it is not a good thing after all, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Bingbei mentioned in passing: "Their women are also named after birds and beasts, but they are all small and clever animals."
A few days ago, Xiaguan bought a woman from the Jurchen clan as a concubine, and this woman's name is Leng Geri, which means Shuo Rat."
This time it was Xiao Bingbei's concubine, and Ding Dusi and the young envoy were embarrassed to laugh, but the expression on their faces was really painful.
Xia Xun smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, let's go into the city, go to the market, and then go to meet the old man Bayi."
At this time, the city of Hada already knew that there were no bandits, and the merchants resumed selling and started business.
It is not only cattle, sheep, mules and horses that are sold, but also all kinds of precious leather goods, as well as all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Haidongqing, eagles, soap carvings are all precious living creatures, in addition to mink skins, fox skins, horned walrus tusks, good prickly skins, deer skins of various colors, leopard skins and so on.
As for the northern pearl, ginseng, deer antler, and even sun-dried fungus, mushrooms, all kinds of wild pheasants, flying dragons, are everywhere.
Many of these things are rare in the Central Plains, worth more than 100 gold, Xia Xun was bribed by the Mongolian tribe in Beiping to get two rare fire fox skins, and here, the best fire fox skins are also placed there at will, for people to choose.
When Xia Xun saw the fire fox skin, he suddenly remembered the scene when he and Ming'er met for the first time: "Wow, it's so beautiful, it's like a flame." ” The ten-year-old Lori with a voice as crisp as a yellow oriole, wrapped in the scent of grass, a crow with beautiful hair, a cute double bun, small ears like ingots, and fair and moist skin, as if smooth ivory revealed a pink blood color, blowing through.
At that time, I thought to myself, this little Lori is definitely a beauty embryo, and when she grows up, she must be a disaster-level beauty.
And now this disaster has coincidentally become his own lady.
Xia Xun felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, and suddenly remembered that at that time, he almost cried for a fire fox skin, well, it was also a loss, if she didn't fight, she wouldn't know each other, otherwise there would be so many grievances and entanglements later Xia Xun stared at the fox fur that was as red as a flame, thinking of the beautiful wife in his heart, and his eyes became more and more gentle.
Xiao Bingbei suddenly saw that Xia Xun was not leaving, turned his head to look, and saw that the lord of the ministry was just staring at a beautiful fox skin of fiery red, and he understood it, and hurriedly smiled at Xia Xun: "The ministry has good eyesight, this leather is indeed a first-class product, and the subordinate bought it and gave it to the ministry, which can be regarded as the little heart of the subordinate official."
After speaking, Xiao Bingbei turned over and dismounted, walked to the stall, pointed to the fiery red fox skin and said, "How much is this skin, I want it."
Shao Yunfeng was a step slower than him, so he secretly pursed his lips and muttered, "Sycophant" Xia Xun jumped off the horse, stopped Xiao Bingbei, and said with a smile: "No, I have to buy this fox skin myself, I have to buy it myself, it's my intention."
Xiao Bingbei originally refused, but when he heard this, it was not good to insist anymore, so he laughed, stepped aside and said, "Since this is the case, it is not good for the lower officials to fight anymore." ” Xia Xun picked up the leather and looked at it, although the coat color is good, but it is not hunted in autumn, the luster feel is worse, and the hunter's archery skills are also worse, it is a fire fox shot across the belly, although the scar is not big, it can be covered by the fox hair, after all, it is not perfect, I couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked: "Your fire fox fur, can there be a good one to hunt in the golden autumn season of September, it is best to pass through the eyes, the whole fox skin has no arrow wounds." ” The Jurchen merchant saw that these people were dressed up, and they were hugging each other, obviously the big officials in the Ming army, so he looked very frightened, but when the business came to the door, he was reluctant to let the patron run away, and nodded and said busily: "Some of them, the best fox skins, which are willing to pile up here, I am hiding a good fire fox skin at home, if you want it, please wait for a while, I will let the mother-in-law go to get it, and I will come back in a while."
Xia Xun was slightly disappointed when he heard this: "Is there only one?"
When the merchant heard that the Han official wanted to buy more, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly said: "In line with what you said, the villain only has one in his hand, but the villain is familiar with all the merchants who sell fox skins in this Hada City.
Xia Xun thought about it for a while, Xiao Di and Ziqi both had it, and said: "I want four, all of them are high-quality goods."
Zuo Dan stood beside Xia Xun, and when he heard the four, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and said in his heart: "If the prince only buys one, then needless to say, it must only be given to Mrs.
Ming, Mrs.
Ming, the son of heaven, the wife of the main room, is naturally different from others; If you only buy three, it is reasonable, one for the wife, and one for Mrs.
Qi and Mrs.

Fei; But how to divide the two concubines when you buy four, to whom, not to whom, is it not a noble person who forgets things, and misses one" The loyal Zuo Dan immediately reminded: "Guogong buys fox skins, it must be one of the three ladies, but I don't know that the two are like ladies."
Xia Xun glanced at him and said, "Ziqi and Xiao Di, there are already them." ” Zuo Dan said again: "Ah, in this case, it should be three strips." ” Xia Xun glanced at him again, and said viciously: "You will count" Zuo Dan didn't react yet, and opened his slap and said: "It's supposed to be, Guogong, look at it, this" As soon as he pulled off a finger, Xia Xun had already shouted: "If you don't speak, no one will sell you as a dumb person, go aside" Zuo Dan stepped aside, touched his nose, and was still wondering: "Why are there four, it should indeed be three."
Xia Xun ignored him, turned his head and asked the merchant: "How is the price calculated?"
The merchant laughed and said, "Official, we are here, either in gold and silver, or in exchange for goods, if we collect the treasure money, we have no land to spend."
Xia Xun was stunned when he heard this, before he could speak, a rough and heroic voice next to him said: "Lord Ministries wants a few skins, that's to look up to us, who the hell dares to ask for money Pu Ladu, you go door to door to find me, bring me all the good fox skins they press at the bottom of the box, and choose by the Lord Ministry, who dares to hide their hearts, don't appear in Hada City from now on" To be continued:
