Zhu Youxiao was very relieved to leave the matter to his subordinates.
His main purpose in coming to Zhangjiakou was to take charge. Only with him here would there be no trouble. Otherwise, the situation would be chaotic, as the emperor was far away.
Moreover, if anything happens, the emperor can deal with it in time here, which is quite crucial.
Zhu Youxiao felt more confident and didn't have to do anything.
The people from the Imperial Household Department began to check the market, preparing to quickly intervene and take over the market after Zhu Youxiao finished his work.
After all, Zhu Youxiao had come to Zhangjiakou this time with the intention of stirring up trouble. Many people and things in Zhangjiakou were to be eliminated, and the vacant market could not continue in an orderly manner; someone had to take over.
Who would be more suitable to take over?
There is only one answer, and that is the Imperial Household Department.
After all, after Zhu Youxiao caused trouble, there was a period of panic here, and no one dared to come to Zhangjiakou to continue doing business.
But the business had to continue, after all, it had to maintain stability. The Imperial Household Department did not have to worry about being punished and could do business boldly and confidently. Of course, the most important point was that the Imperial Household Department could help Zhu Youxiao make money.
Once Zhangjiakou was under the control of the Imperial Household Department, the entire trade with the grassland was basically controlled by the Imperial Household Department.
On the one hand, there are economic means, and on the other hand, there are administrative means. We must do both well and both hands must be strong.
If anyone talked about market economy with Zhu Youxiao in this era, Zhu Youxiao would definitely slap him in the face and then drag him down and chop him off.
Times have changed, and so have the people's understandings. Pushing too much is heresy. Being one step ahead is genius, being two steps ahead is madness.
The Jinyiwei would be in charge of investigating the case, so Zhu Youxiao didn't have to worry about it. All he had to do was to go out for a stroll, take a look at this small frontier town, understand the people's sentiments, and experience the local characteristics.
Zhu Youxiao was walking along the streets of Zhangjiakou, looking for food. After a while, he saw a barbecue restaurant not far away.
Speaking of which, since the emergence of stir-frying in the Song Dynasty, the material resources on the land of China have been greatly enriched. Various kinds of food have appeared, and the tea culture and drinking culture are also very rich. It is not far from becoming a country of foodies.
Zhangjiakou has always been a prosperous place for the cattle and horse trade, and there's no shortage of beef and mutton, so there are many shops like this. People from the grasslands send their cattle and sheep here, and if they're damaged, they often send them to these barbecue shops to be disposed of.
Zhu Youxiao lifted the curtain and walked into the barbecue restaurant. Chen Hong wanted to say something, but seeing Wei Chao following his master in, his words got stuck in his throat, and he quickly followed him in.
After Zhu Youxiao walked into the barbecue restaurant, he found that there were quite a few people here and business was booming. The restaurant was basically full, with only one table in the corner left empty.
However, the majority of those eating meat and drinking in the restaurant were Mongolians, though a minority were Han Chinese. These Mongolians, sitting at the table, clinking glasses and drinking, were clearly all Mongolian merchants, or rather, people from various Mongolian tribes who had come to Zhangjiakou to trade. They brought cattle, sheep, and horses to exchange for what they needed.
Zhu Youxiao walked straight to the empty table and sat down indifferently.
I took a look at the shop owner who was walking over. Although this person was wearing Ming Dynasty clothing, it was obvious that he was not a Ming Dynasty person. His face was much rougher and he was very tall.
"What would you like to eat, sir?" the shopkeeper asked directly to Zhu Youxiao and his companions.
"What do you have here?" Zhu Youxiao asked the man.
"Beef, mutton, and roasted sheep's head. Would you like to try it, sir?" the man asked with a smile on his face.
"Give me a whole roasted lamb." Zhu Youxiao ordered casually.
He had eaten roasted whole lamb in his previous life, and now he wanted to try the roasted whole lamb of this era. It would never hurt to give it a try.
As for whether several people could finish it, Zhu Youxiao was not very worried. If they couldn’t finish it, they could pack it up and take it away.
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, the man was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, no problem!"
After the man left, Zhu Youxiao began to slowly scan the hall without any expression.
He found that there were many Mongols gathered here, but judging from their expressions towards each other, some were very familiar and friendly, while others were very hostile and hateful.
Obviously, the tribes on the grassland really have deep hatred for each other, and they dislike each other on a daily basis.
In fact, after so many years of development, the tribes on the grassland have long been in chaos. Everyone does not respect the Khan very much and everyone has their own thoughts. There is no strong leader on the grassland who can lead all the tribes.
Although Lin Danhan had this ambition, the timing was not right. When he came to power, the grasslands were already fragmented, and winning over the people was not easy. Add to that the Jiannu (Qian Nu) causing trouble, and life became even more difficult.
However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care and let them do whatever they wanted.
At this moment, a person walked in from outside.
After scanning the store, his eyes finally fell on Zhu Youxiao.
This is a thin middle-aged man wearing silk clothes. Judging from his attire, he should be a steward, because his attire is similar to that of Chen Hong behind Zhu Youxiao.
However, after this person walked in, the whole store became quiet in an instant.
The Mongolians who were originally making a lot of noise suddenly fell silent at this moment, and all their eyes were focused on the middle-aged man.
