After discussing the price of buying Eastern European Mongolian Horse (Don Hippo), the atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious. Next, Marin was invited by Menggerekhan and received courtesy and hospitality.
At this time, not only the Mongogire Khan, but also the other Crimean nobles, looked at Marin with their eyes full of passion. You should know that although the Crimean Khanate only has a population of 250,000, including the newly conquered Golden Horde, it looks like a population of 400,000. However, its land area, including the newly conquered Golden Horde, reached more than 200,000 square kilometers. Moreover, it is most likely the warmest grassland in Eastern Europe on the Black Sea.
Therefore, there are countless horses, cattle and sheep in the Crimean Khanate. Each of the great nobles of the Crimean Khanate present had at least a total of more than 100,000 horses, cattle and sheep.
However, in the past, because the allies of the Crimean Khanate were not short of horses, cattle and sheep, and other countries had no contact with the Crimean Khanate or even hostile to each other. Therefore, so many cattle and sheep could only be eaten at their own homes. Even if they could be sold, they were very cheap.
Therefore, if someone can really buy horses, cattle and sheep from the Crimean Khanate on a large scale, it will definitely be a great thing for the great nobles like Crimea with countless livestock.
Marin did not show his true identity, but only said that he was a representative of a large chamber of commerce called the Beihai Chamber of Commerce under the Hanseatic League, but he had the right to decide whether to import livestock from the Crimean Khanate. Therefore, at this moment, the nobles of the Crimean Khanate, including Mongogirekhan, regarded Marin as the little god of wealth, and his attitude was much more polite than before.
The two deputy envoys from the Hanseatic League and Lithuanian sent their deputy envoys, had no idea what they said to Marin and Mongkogirekhan. Because they didn't understand the Tatar language.
When Marin said he wanted to buy 1,000 war horses from the Crimean Khanate, it didn't matter to the Hanseatic League, but Lithuanian Deputy Envoy expressed his opposition:
"Marin, why do you import livestock from the Crimean Khanate? We in Lithuania also have many horses, cattle and sheep for sale!"
In fact, most of the 50,000 cattle that travel from Poland to Germany every year come from the Ukrainian prairie under Lithuania.
However, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland were communist confederates, and it was very convenient for these animals to pass through Poland. Even in 1569, after Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were once again united as a federal (the federal is one, and the confederacy is not one), the Ukrainian region was ceded to the Kingdom of Poland. Therefore, history books say that Poland exports 50,000 cattle every year to the German region. And that "Poland" was actually the later "Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth", rather than the current Polish Kingdom with a narrow land area.
Therefore, Lithuanian Deputy Envoy expressed dissatisfaction with Marin's desire to import war horses on a large scale from the Crimean Khanate and wanted to win over the order. Because there are also many Lithuanian horses. After all, the Ukrainian prairie is now from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
"Victor Deputy Envoy, I know that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is sufficient, but, do you know? It is very politically important to choose to import cattle from the Crimean Khanate. If we do not import cattle from the Crimean Khanate and let them taste the sweetness, how are they willing to help us fight the Grand Duchy of Moscow? Are those orders important, or is the national security of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania important?"
Marin explained the reason for doing this to Lithuanian Deputy Envoy Victor. Of course, this is only one aspect. The Eastern European Mongolian horses of the Crimean Khanate are resistant to rough feeding and are very suitable for being a military horse, which is also an important reason.
However, this reason alone is enough to shut up Victor's deputy envoy. Victor has not forgotten the despair situation in which the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was jointly bullied by the Crimean Khanate and the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the past two years, and was forced to cede several cities and large grasslands.
Then, Marin mentioned the cattle trade again...
Previously, Marin asked Polish merchants that bought more than 20,000 cows. Among them, the price of each cow was only about 10 gold coins. However, because Marin intercepted the beef, the traditional import of Polish-Lithuanian cattle in southern Germany and Italy increased due to shortage of stock.
Now, the price of Polish cattle has reached 13 gold coins per head. To be honest, this price is quite cheap. In Germany, the price of a strong cattle is as high as more than 20 gold coins.
But Marin was not satisfied. Everyone wanted to spend less money to buy goods that suited their wishes. So Marin took the initiative to introduce beef from Crimea...
Now Marin suddenly advanced from the "little God of Wealth" in the eyes of many Tatar nobles in Crimea to the "big God of Wealth"...
Cattle are usually usually ate grass. Only when plowing the land and pulling plows, because it is too hard, will there be a chance to "add food" to eat feed.
Therefore, there is no cost to raise cattle in normal times. Herders only need to drive cattle to the grassland to eat grass. The Crimean Khanate has no agriculture, and horse plowing is also popular in Eastern Europe, rather than cattle plowing. Therefore, the sales of cattle herds in the Crimean Khanate are also very problematic, and they are generally digested domestically to eat meat and provide milk.
When Malin asked about the price of the cattle, not only the Tatar nobles, but even the Mongkogire Khan were excited. You should know that as the Khan of the Crimean Khanate, Mongkogire Khan had the largest number of cattle and sheep under his command. The number of cattle alone was as high as more than 90,000.
If these bulls are sold, Mongkogirekhan will make a fortune...
Then, the two sides "bargained" with friendly and verbal confrontation. Marin was sure of the lack of sales in the Crimean Khanate, and tried his best to suppress the price, and the price of each cow was reduced to 7.5 gold coins per cow.
In fact, at this time, Mongkogirekhan had already laughed in his heart. Marin thought he had made a big profit, but he didn't know that when the Crimean Khanate exported cattle at a low price, the Turks only gave him 5 gold coins, and the price was completely bargain... Marin so cruelly sold the price of the Polish cattle, which was half higher than the price of the Crimean Khanate exporting cattle to Turkey...
Marin, who thought he had taken advantage of it, generously told Mongkogirekhan that after he returned, he would encourage the Ministry of Finance to make up his mind to import a large number of live cattle from the Crimean Khanate. If it goes well, the annual import volume may reach 10,000...
When he heard this number, Mongkogirekhan was no longer calm and almost got down to hook up with Marin...
You know, 7.5 gold coins per cow, 10,000 cows are 75,000 gold coins! Sigmund I was able to buy Mongkogirekhan with 15,000 gold coins. The 75,000 gold coins each year almost made Mongkogirekhan faint...
Even because the annual amount of 10,000 heads is too amazing, a group of Tatar nobles in the hall came to Mongkogirekhan one after another, demanding to obtain a certain "export share" to avoid being eaten by the greedy Mongkogirekhan.
In fact, Mongkogirekhan really planned to take over this big order. However, the other nobles in the hall were easy to deal with. The four thousand households were all powerful nobles with heavy troops. Mongkogirekhan could not ignore their requests. Therefore, for this matter, Mongkogirekhan decided to convene a court meeting to decide on the distribution matters...
...
Seeing the big order of 10,000 cows, which made the Crimean Khanate pay so much attention, Marin felt confident and finally showed his real purpose...
"Khan, you have become the communist ruler of the Qinzha grassland. I wonder if the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Duchy of Ryazan have paid 'tith tax' to you?" Marin looked like "I just asked casually". In fact, his spirit was tense at this time. Because, the time for the decisive battle has come...
"Ah?'Tith tax'?" Mongkogirekhan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:
"No, in the era of Ah Heima Khan, they no longer paid tithe taxes."
At that time, the reason why the Grand Principal of Moscow colluded with the Crimean Khanate to engage in the Golden Horde was to refuse to pay the "tith tax" that should be paid to the Golden Horde. Moreover, Aheima Khan did not require the Grand Principal of Moscow to pay all the "tith tax", which was enough, but the Grand Principal of Moscow was still very unhappy. Because even half of it was scary. The Crimean Khanate formed an alliance with the Grand Principal of Moscow, so he was naturally embarrassed to ask for the "tith tax" from it. Moreover, the Grand Principal of Moscow was not a good man, but a powerful person.
"Khan, I heard that the Grand Duchy of Moscow has a population of millions. If everyone pays tithes taxes to you... the annual tax amount will be at least millions of gold coins..." Marin said in a seductive tone. But in the ears of Mongogirekhan and the Tatar nobles, it was like thunder...
Millions of gold coins...millions of gold coins...millions of gold coins...gold coins...
Suddenly, Mongkogirekhan and many Tatar nobles breathed rapidly and fell into deep thought...
Yes, the Grand Principal of Moscow is so large that it is the highest in Eastern European countries. If the Grand Principal of Moscow resumes the collection of "tith taxes", will the Crimeans still need to snatch human trafficking into slavery? Moreover, over the past year, they dispatched so many large-scale cavalry, and the slaves they snatched were only sold for about 100,000 gold coins, and they often did not reach this number.
However, if the "tith tax" is reinstated in the countries of Ross, every young and pleasing place can get millions of gold coins, which is much better than robbery...
Seeing that the Mongoggirekhan and the Tatar nobles were in deep thought, Marin naturally wanted to continue his efforts:
"The Khan, levying 'tith tax' from the countries of Ros is the power given to Khinza by God. The Grand Duchy of Moscow actually refused to pay it, which is really a waste of money!"
