Chapter 2091: The expedition of the yak
"The rise of the emperor (!
Marin didn't seem to hear the ridicule from the outside world. Moreover, he pretended to say-in order to spread the glory of God, what is a little ridicule?
Then, the Beihai State Church, which was under its control, immediately spread this "famous quote" and aroused the craziness of the people of Beihai State. Even in other countries, many devout believers were moved when they heard it.
In order to perform a full set of tricks, Marin also specially sent a ship to Lapland to pick up some chiefs to the North Sea country to participate in the Great Chief's Enthronement Ceremony. At the same time, it was also the conversion ceremony for the formal acceptance of Christianity in Lapland. Because it takes time for ships to come and go. Therefore, the ceremony is scheduled for the New Year in 1517. At the same time, many countries were invited to observe the ceremony.
In addition to the Helm of Domination and Frostmourne, Marin also asked his men to make a full set of the black Lich King, including the black cloak. Then, he also built a table similar to the Ice Throne in front of the palace. Of course, there is no chain that binds Bolvar and the prisoner of Bolvar.
Since it is a ritual, bgm is indispensable. For this reason, Marin decided to copy the bgm of the previous cutscene of Wrath of the Lich King—the part of the solo solo of the teenager in "Arthasmyson":
My king will live forever!
May he rule,
Forever.
May his power,
Unbeaten forever.
…
Then there is the loop...
This voice is very ethereal, but high-pitched, and very penetrating. Moreover, revealing a very desolate feeling, very suitable for the identity of the king of the north.
In order to sing this passage well, Malin specially selected a few Frisian teenagers with good voices, and took turns singing solo with high notes. In this way, lest a person can't stand singing for a long time.
…
However, there was an episode in the middle—the kid Caesar wanted to pick up Frostmourne and play...
Marlin was immediately angry-Nizi! What do you want to do with Frostmourne?
Although Marin believes in science, it's still a bit taboo to meow. After all, all the nonsense of the traverser has happened, and you can't help but believe in evil. He was afraid that Caesar, a prankster, would be contaminated with the ominous breath of Frostmourne. When the time comes, how can he use this sword to stab himself?
So, when Caesar wanted to touch the sword, Marin kicked his feet up, not allowing him to come near...
Caesar was not convinced, and asked Marin why you can get it? Marin didn't explain, but he said in his heart-of course I can take it, my old man is not a king, and I don't need to kill my father. But, this sword prince can’t take it...
Then, he explained-this sword is the sword of the king, and the prince took it ominously...
Anyway, he won't explain that this is a "father's kindness and filial piety sword"...
Except for Caesar, the other sons, Marin, were not allowed to touch this sword. Usually, directly lock the sword and send a guard to take care of it. It's the helmet of dominance, this thing is for children to play casually.
…
When nothing happened, Malin studied the natural conditions in Lapland and Murmansk. He found that for now, the most suitable industries there are probably fishing and reindeer breeding. The Lapp people mainly raise reindeer and sometimes fish.
But Marin knew that there might still be a season of Chinese cabbage planting there. After all, there are polar days for two or three months in summer, all day is daytime, and the temperature can reach more than ten degrees. Although it is not good for Chinese cabbage to produce rapeseed, it has no effect on the growth of cabbage itself. Anyway, Marin didn't expect the Chinese cabbage to produce many rapeseeds. It really doesn't work. The rapeseeds are all transported from the Beihai country. In this way, a vegetable is added to the recipes of the Lapp people. Besides, you can sell salt to make kimchi.
In addition to selling salt, Marin also plans to promote the cultivation of chili peppers in the Americas, and then dry them into chili powder, and sell them to Eastern Europeans and Lapu people to add some when pickling kimchi to make the cabbage more refreshing. And, in a cold place, eating spicy kimchi is super cool!
As for why not make chili sauce? Difficult to save! It is also bottled, which is easy to break. Therefore, chili powder is better, just get a greased paper bag and seal the package, and the shelf life is still long. Then, even if others see chili powder, they don't know what it is made of. Unlike chili sauce, you can clearly see chili.
In this way, Marin can brag about it, saying that it is a precious spice, and asking for a high price, right?
However, it seems that there are already chili peppers in Spain, but they have not been promoted yet. The Spaniards only regarded chili as an inferior substitute for pepper, and did not pay much attention to it, and only planted a small amount of it.
Moreover, because the Indian pepper market is evenly divided with Portugal, there is no shortage of "noble" spices such as Spanish pepper and ginger, and there is no need to replace them with peppers. There is also a comparison between the nobles. If anyone does not use peppers and peppers, they will be laughed at. As for civilians, some people planted some peppers instead of expensive peppers. But in this age, fashion is led by the nobility. If the nobles don't eat chili, chili won't be popular. There is a chain of imitation of fashion trends—the nobles imitate the royal family—the rich and common people imitate the nobles—the poor imitate the rich...and then it will become popular...
Before chili is popular, Marin intends to make a quick cash first. He decided to give chili powder a fascinating name-Oriental Empire Spice!
In this way, the forced rate is obviously high, and you can sell at a high price!
But there is a problem, which is how to plow the fields!
Although the reindeer can pull the sled, it seems that they are not strong enough to plow the fields to grow Chinese cabbage. As for arranging the reindeer in rows to pull the plough, the reindeer seem to be insufficient. Moreover, the horns of the reindeer are too luxuriant, which easily affects the companions on the side.
So, we have to find another way!
In the case of horse farming, it is okay, but there is no hardy horse breed...
"No, it seems that there are horses suitable for the local area!" Marin suddenly remembered, as if he had horses for Iceland!
Iceland, where the Icelandic horses live, is similar to the climate in Murmansk. It has a high latitude and is affected by the warm North Atlantic current. The temperature is not very low, but not high. There are also extreme days and nights.
Therefore, a group of Icelandic horses can be introduced to live in Lapland. However, the only problem is that the number of Icelandic horses does not seem to be large. There are up to a few thousand horses in the local area, and Marlin can bring up to several hundred to Lapland.
Moreover, Icelandic horses are small in size, a little smaller than Mongolian horses, so they are not suitable for arable land. Marin intends to vigorously breed Icelandic horses as mounts for the Lapp people. As for arable land, he has a better choice-yak!
As mentioned earlier, Marin knows that highland barley is very suitable for cultivation in the St. Petersburg area. At the same time, the yak on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is also very suitable for breeding in alpine regions.
Yaks are particularly hardy and adapt to harsh climates like snow-capped mountains. Moreover, it is very versatile. It can pull plows and climb mountains, so it is called "the boat of the plateau".
Moreover, the yak can also provide products such as milk, beef and leather. It is a very good breed of livestock, and it is also a good breed of livestock in cold regions.
Although the growth period of the yak is longer than that of the reindeer, it takes 4 years to grow up, and the reindeer can grow up in just over a year. However, the yak can grow to 1,000 kilograms and the reindeer can only grow to 150 kilograms, which is only one-seventh of the yak. More. With this calculation, it is still a good deal to raise yak. Moreover, Arctic wolves dare to provoke reindeer, but they dare not provoke huge yak. Yaks generally do not attack them, but whoever dares to provoke them and fight back is not enough for wolves.
Therefore, Marin decided to introduce a large number of yak as an important breed in Lapland. As for the reindeer, they continue to raise them. After all, reindeer sleds are also very convenient in winter.
…
But there is a problem, that is, how to get the yak?
Marin wants to go by sea, but I'm afraid it won't work. Why? Because the fur on the yak is too thick, it is cold and heat-resistant. If you go by sea, you have to go to tropical waters most of the time, which is humid and hot. Human sailors don't need to wear them, but are shirtless. However, the skin and hair of the yak can’t be taken off...
If you walk in the tropical waters for a few months, Marin estimates that many yaks will die. I don’t know how many of them will survive to Europe in the end...
So, I can only go by land...
but…
The land is not peaceful!
There are many countries along the way, tribal disputes continue, and it belongs to a very chaotic area, from ancient times to modern times. Central Asia? Wars have been continuous since ancient times.
It is too difficult to bring the yak safely to Lapland by land!
But no matter how difficult it is, Marin wants to try. Therefore, Marin ordered the recruitment of a thousand Cossacks of Tatar origin, and let them team up through the chaotic Eastern Europe and Central Asia to buy 10,000 yaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!
However, considering that the tribes of the countries and nomads along the way can easily draw thousands of cavalry, Marin does not intend to force it this time, but intends to give the countries along the way the opportunity to raise prices.
For this reason, he intends to let the thousand Tatar Cossacks **** the envoys to visit the countries along the route, expressing his willingness to purchase yak at high prices, implying that they can increase the price. In this way, the safety and smoothness of the road can be guaranteed.
After repeated deliberation, Marin chose a suitable route-Siberian Khanate-Oirat Mongolia-Yarkant Khanate-Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The Siberian Khanate is probably close to the Durbert Ministry, one of the four Oirat Mongolian tribes, and the Oirat Four Tribes are allies and will not cause trouble with each other. Then to the south is the Yerqiang Khanate, which only emerged in 1514. It is close to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and can directly buy yaks.
In this way, the yak has at most three powers, and the price increases three times. Even if you buy road fees for points along the way, up to three or four times the price, Marin can still accept it.
In addition, Marin did not intend to use all money to pay, but intends to use spirits to cover most of the funds. In this way, it can also reduce a lot of pressure.
Moreover, the three countries along the route are all of Mongolian descent. UU reads www.uukanshu.com and because of the same origin, the language can also be connected. What I want to mention here is that many of the Mongols in the Western Regions seem to be able to speak Mongolian and Turkic. Even Turkic language is more popular in Central Asia. Like Kazakh, it belongs to the Turkic language family.
Of course, Marin doesn't care what language they speak, he only cares if the yak can safely reach Lapland in the Arctic. For this, he is willing to pay a high price. As for reaching the Siberian Khanate, the last section needs to pass through the northern part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which is not a problem.
At that time, Marin will send troops to **** him. Moreover, walking through the forests of the northern part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow is probably not very crowded. If the Muscovites dared to robbery, this would just give Marin an excuse to send troops...
"God bless! I hope that this expedition for the yaks goes well, and enough yaks can arrive in Lapland!" As ungodly as Marin, he couldn't help but start praying...
