Zhu Youxiao was not worried about his own people beating up Fan Yongdou's men.
Not to mention beating Fan Si, even if he beat Fan Yongdou, what would happen?
Zhangjiakou is not like Jiangnan, so Zhu Youxiao has fewer concerns when doing things here.
If we were to target large merchants in Jiangnan, we would have to consider the aftermath. For example, if we were to target the salt merchants, who would transport the salt? How would we sell it?
At that time, salt prices would soar, illicit salt would become rampant, and the common people would suffer. If anyone secretly took action and plotted something illegal, it would likely cause chaos in Jiangnan.
Before finding alternatives and better business methods, Zhu Youxiao couldn't touch the big merchants in Jiangnan. When the day comes to touch them, it must be because Zhu Youxiao has already paved the way. Otherwise, if Jiangnan falls into chaos, it will not be the result Zhu Youxiao wants.
In Zhangjiakou, Zhu Youxiao had no scruples. The big merchants in Zhangjiakou traded with the Mongols, and even if he attacked them, it would not affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if Zhu Youxiao captured all the merchants who traded with Mongolia, it would not be a big deal; if prices in Mongolia soared, it would not be a big deal. If the business could not be continued, then the Ming Dynasty would not care.
On the contrary, with such trade pressure, the products of the Ming Dynasty could still be sold at high prices, which was a good thing. Therefore, when doing things in Zhangjiakou, Zhu Youxiao became even more unscrupulous.
At worst, the Mongols would lead a large army to attack. This kind of thing has never been uncommon, because this is how they have always gotten along.
Whenever the Mongols found themselves in dire straits, they would gather their tribes and attack, hoping to find an opportunity to plunder the Han people. If they were able to plunder, they would naturally return with a laden load, singing and dancing in celebration; if they were unable to plunder, they would surrender and plead for trade, hoping that the Ming would grant them more benefits in consideration of their obedience.
Usually in such situations, the Ming Dynasty would agree to trade for the purpose of appeasement. However, when the Mongol army first arrived, the Ming Dynasty would generally agree to trade. After a period of calm, the Ming Dynasty might feel more secure and would not agree to trade again.
This kind of thing always happened over and over again. The Mongolian army came to fight, robbed what they could, and traded what they couldn't. In any case, they always had to talk with knives in hand. It had always been like this, and Zhu Youxiao didn't think anything serious would happen.
With the current strength of Lin Danhan, it is impossible for him to have any substantial confrontation with the Ming Dynasty. Even if he came to fight, it would only be for trade or to rob money.
Lin Danhan did not have the ability to invade the Ming Dynasty. If he tried too hard, his retreat and base would be easily raided by the Jiannu.
They could only trade honestly. If possible, Zhu Youxiao could also instigate a fight between the Mongols and the Jiannu.
This made Zhu Youxiao think of one thing, that is, the reward system of the Ming Dynasty army, forty taels per head.
What would happen if the Ming offered the Mongols 40 taels per head in exchange for the Jiannu's? Would they fight tooth and nail? Could the Ming gain an advantage?
However, thinking about the fighting power of the Mongols, Zhu Youxiao could only shake his head. There was no chance of making the Mongols and the Jiannu fight each other.
Now the three powers in the north, the Ming Dynasty, the Jiannu and the Mongols, are competing to see who is worse and who is worse.
The Mongolian cavalry had long lost the might they had during the time of Genghis Khan, and the Ming Dynasty had lost the bravery it had when it was founded; as for the Jiannu, they were okay when they first rose to power, but later on they gradually declined. In short, there is no worst.
"Young master, the mutton is here." Wei Chao came to Zhu Youxiao and said in a low voice.
He thought that the young master had become dazed and distracted for some reason.
Zhu Youxiao was actually thinking about something, and came back to his senses when he heard Wei Chao say that. However, after thinking about it, he felt that buying human heads was not appropriate.
First of all, Zhu Youxiao had no money.
Secondly, this is not how money is spent.
Besides, Zhu Youxiao didn’t really want to massacre everyone in the Northeast.
Northeast China is a good place. Zhu Youxiao wants to occupy, integrate, develop, and continue to explore northward. Northeast China is his base.
What would happen if one person was killed and the area was deserted for thousands of miles?
Take a long-term view and think of a solution later.
After figuring things out, Zhu Youxiao looked at the mutton in front of him with a satisfied expression on his face.
The mutton was roasted until it was slightly browned, and the aroma instantly filled Zhu Youxiao's nose. He knew it tasted good as soon as he smelled it.
"Eat mutton." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
The noise around was much quieter at this time.
When the Fan family arrived, the surroundings were quiet for a while. After the Fan family left, not only did everyone not relax, but they became even more cautious.
Zhu Youxiao and his gang who were sitting there actually dared to throw out the Fan family's people. It can be seen that these people's identities are very extraordinary and they cannot be offended.
At this time, at the Fan family, Fan Si was meeting Fan Yongdou.
Looking at the mournful Fan Si, Fan Yongdou frowned and asked, "Why are you like this? Didn't I ask you to hire someone? Is things not going well?"
It was more than just bad luck. Fan Si felt helpless, but he didn't dare to show any aggrieved expression on his face.
Fan Si knew his master's temper very well. If his master thought he was spreading rumors, he would be in big trouble.
Vance said, "Master, this is what happened..."
Next, Vance recounted the entire incident in detail, without any exaggeration or nonsense, and told it in its entirety.
