My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 553 Lama in the grassland
Buman and Nier quickly calmed down after being shocked.

I saw Bapu Lama continue to say: "Sakya Mountain was given by the Ming Emperor, so we cannot give it to anyone. However, we are neighbors with the Kara tribe, and we will get along with each other for a long time in the future, so in order to express our With your goodwill, we can make some deals with the Karabe!"

"Deal? What kind of deal can you make with us?"

Nier finally couldn't help but asked.

In his opinion, aren't lamas just monks in Tibet?Although he has never come into contact with them before, he has seen monks from Han Dynasty. All of them are extremely poor and usually rely on others' charity to survive, so he really can't think of anything that the other party has that they can trade with them?

"To be honest, leader, before we came here, the Ming Emperor personally met us and was very supportive of us. For example, the money we spent to build the temple was given by the Ming Emperor, and I also have some connections that can be used to exchange some materials from the Ming Dynasty. "

Lama Bapu said again with a smile.

His words are both true and false, and he is not afraid of what the other party will hear.

"Material?"

Nier's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stretched his neck and asked excitedly: "What supplies can you get?"

"For example, tea, cloth, etc., as long as you are willing to provide enough goods, we can help you exchange for the supplies you need!"

Bapu raised his eyebrows and said very proudly.

This is the privilege that Zhu Zhanhe promised them. After all, if they want to preach on the grassland, they not only need a firm foothold, but also need a lot of money. Daming will definitely not be able to provide these money, so they have these business problems. privilege.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty not only carried out military raids on the grasslands, but also imposed an economic blockade. Many goods were not allowed to flow into the grasslands. Therefore, even if the grassland people had many products in their hands, they could not exchange for needed supplies.

But things are different now. Lamas like Bapu have mastered the power of transit trade, which is equivalent to acting as an intermediary between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland. Not only can they gain a foothold on the grassland, but they can also obtain huge wealth from it and accelerate the development of the grassland. Their missionary work on the grasslands.

"Master Bapu, can you really get tea, cloth and other supplies from the Ming Dynasty?"

At this time, Buman finally couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately asked Bapu excitedly.

If their tribe can exchange a large amount of materials from the Ming Dynasty through lamas like Bapu, they can not only use it themselves, but also sell it to other tribes at high prices. This alone can bring huge wealth to the tribe, and even You don’t have to worry about being hungry or freezing in the winter anymore.

"You don't have to doubt this. In fact, I came here today just to make a deal with your department!"

Bapu said again with a smile. He also knew what Buman had planned, but it was not an easy task to exchange supplies from them. At least the Kara tribe would have to pay some price.

"What deal?"

Nier immediately asked with a vigilant expression after hearing this.

"I can help you exchange supplies. Even if you have the goods for trade, I can immediately send people to take you to the Ming Dynasty to trade. I guarantee that there will be no problems, but you also need to send some people to help us build temples!"

Bapu immediately stated his request.

This time when he came to Sakya Mountain, Bapu brought dozens of lamas with him, and also recruited some herdsmen from the grasslands to help build the temple. However, the manpower was still insufficient, and the construction progress of the temple was too slow, so he had already taken a fancy to it. Kara tribe.

If they can get the largest tribes around to send people to help them build temples, they will definitely be able to build temples faster than those of the Gelug sect, and they will also be able to preach on the grasslands first and gain more followers.Hearing that Bapu wanted them to send people to help build the temple, Buman and Nier looked at each other, and then Buman said: "Master Bapu, we need to discuss this matter before we can give you an answer!"

"No problem, the two leaders can just discuss it!"

Bapu smiled.

"Master, wait a moment!"

So Buman took Nier out of the tent, leaving Bapu drinking tea and waiting alone.

"Why do I feel that what Bapu said is a bit unbelievable? How could he, a lama, exchange goods from the Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as Nier came out of the tent, he immediately asked Buman with a suspicious look on his face.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Nier was suspicious. He thought that the Ming Dynasty always designated certain tribes to trade. For example, the Duoyan Sanwei briefly benefited from exclusive rights because they took refuge in the Ming Dynasty. Later, Oara and Tatar also had a relationship. The exclusive rights of time are when Ming supports them, but if Ming is unhappy, this power will be revoked immediately.

"It's hard to say. Lamas are also monks. I heard that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all believed in Buddhism. Even the Emperor Taizu once served as a monk. These monks have great influence among the powerful people of the Ming Dynasty and can win over the Ming Dynasty. The emperor’s support is not surprising.”

But Buman felt that Bapu was not lying. You must know that Bapu and his temple are in Sakya Mountain. As the saying goes, if a monk can run away, he cannot run away from the temple. If they dare to lie to themselves, they will never be able to gain a foothold in Sakya Mountain in the future.

"Then what should we do? Should we take the risk and give it a try?"

Nier once again asked his uncle for his opinion. He was really undecided on these matters, so he usually listened to Bu Man.

"We must try it. The worst we can do is lose some goods, but if it succeeds, we will be equivalent to seizing a way to make money, and the entire tribe will have no worries about food and drink in the future!"

When Bu Man spoke to the end, his eyes shone with excitement.

In fact, the various tribes in the grassland have very complicated feelings towards Ming. On the one hand, they are afraid of Ming's strength, and at the same time they hate Ming for massacring the grassland tribes.

On the other hand, they envied the prosperity and wealth of the Ming Dynasty, so many tribes desperately wanted to have a relationship with the Ming Dynasty. As long as a little bit of the Ming Dynasty could leak out from the gaps between their fingers, it would be enough for them to eat and drink.

"But that Bapu said that he wants us to send people to help them build temples. It seems that they plan to stay here for a long time."

Nier said worriedly again. A group of mysterious lamas suddenly appeared in his territory, which made him instinctively worried.

"That's a problem!"

I saw Buman stroking the goatee on his chin at this time, thinking for a while, and finally suddenly slapped his hand and said.

"Yes, if they make conditions for us, we can also make conditions for them. As long as they dare to agree, our interests may be even greater in the future!"

"Shall we also make conditions? Will the other party agree?"

Nier was stunned and asked again doubtfully.
