Benjamin Goldberg’s head is full of beautiful mountains and rivers, full of mathematics and physics.
During the trip, he often stayed at the homes of local Tibetans, which was better than sleeping outside breathing the wind and drinking the dew.
Although he has poor hands-on skills and seems clumsy, he has many clever ideas for food, clothing, housing and transportation, which makes him quite popular.
As you gain more experience, you will understand the meaning of this kind of white tent.
Damn it, it’s easy to live in, but it’s hard to get out. I have to leave and work for at least three years.
Seeing that he refused to advance, Ram was a little disappointed.
The lives of local people are half immersed in secular life and half supported by the concept of reincarnation. They do not suffer from life worries like the Han people.
Ram’s disappointment came and went even faster. He instantly put on his smile again and pulled Benjamin Goldberg to a smaller and dirtier tent.
Two little puppies were fighting, trying to follow them in.
But Gan Fan took it back one by one and growled in a low voice. The two puppies looked at the tent, then looked at Gan Fan, then turned around and followed Gan Fan to the white tent.
In the small and dirty tent, Benjamin Goldberg's voice came out, "Stop it, this is my first time."
The voice was immediately wiped out by the cold wind. middle.
The sound was intermittent, ups and downs, and silence soon started again, and it didn’t stop much throughout the night.
On the second day, Benjamin Goldberg walked out of the tent with a depressed expression.
The radiant Ram is busy.
Just as he was about to pull up the tent and drive the sheep to graze, he saw a fast horse galloping in the distance.
A man with a red face dismounted his horse and shouted a few words to Lamu's father. After that, Lamu's family looked miserable.
Benjamin Goldberg yawned, drank milk tea, and ate the glutinous rice cake.
He pulled Ram and asked "What happened?"
Lam worriedly said, "The Kashag has launched an army to prepare to resist the newly arrived Han minister in Tibet, the Kashag's army. They will take away our herdsmen’s cattle and sheep”
“Then let’s run away quickly”
“There are too many cattle and sheep to escape”
Benjamin Goldberg imitated Zhao Chuanxin, crossed his chest with one hand, rubbed his chin with the other, thought for a moment and asked, "Ram, that man, is he here to inform you?"
Ram shook his head "He wanted to exchange the furs for our cattle and sheep, because his sheep were taken away by the Kashag army. But Abba did not agree."
Benjamin Goldberg saw that the man had not left yet, so he hurriedly Remove the scroll from behind.
It was a complete map, with several routes marked in particular detail. Benjamin Goldberg even made a lot of notes on the route he took.
He glanced at the map, traced the route with his fingers, estimated the time secretly, put away the scroll, stared at Ram with bright eyes and asked, "Ram, I have a way, are you willing to believe me?"
Replace withOthers thought about it carefully, but Ram nodded, "I believe you."
""Benjamin Goldberg said in his heart that the folk customs must be so simple that they can trust strangers after a short sleep. He's gone
He inherited Zhao Chuanxin's character. It would be fine if Ram had too much on his mind. Ram trusted him, so he wanted to help him to the end.
He yawned and said with a pale face, "Ram, I want you to become the Lobsang Dolma of this land."
Zhao Erfeng is famously tough. group.
He became the minister in Tibet, and the people of Kashag were panicked.
The Kashag mobilized Tibetan troops to Qamdo in the name of suppressing bandits, but in fact they wanted to use force to resist.
No matter how hard you try to disguise your motives, this is already considered a blatant rebellion.
Supply supplies were difficult in this era, especially in Tibet where the plateaus were widespread, and the army was in constant danger along the way.
Many herdsmen’s cattle and sheep were looted, leaving only their furs.
Cattle and sheep are the basis for the survival of herdsmen. In desperation, the herdsmen are willing to exchange their accumulated furs for cattle and sheep, and the price is astonishingly low.
No one else is willing to change at this time.
Benjamin Goldberg used the Ram family’s cattle and sheep and his own savings to purchase furs and specialty products in large quantities.
Also let Ram say "Tashi Delek" to everyone.
Lam, who is used to the nomadic life, can't help but panic as he sees his flock of sheep withering away. .
Benjamin Goldberg said to her, "Ram, you must smile. Only the smile of Lobsang Dolma will make the herdsmen feel at ease."
At the price of the scrap, Benjamin Goldberg harvested not just furs but also some gold and silver jewelry from strings of beads.
In the end, the yaks that were called the boats on the plateau could no longer carry them anymore, so they gave up.
The herdsmen who came to exchange for cattle and sheep had to put their hands together, hold the 108 rosary beads that had lost their precious accessories, and bow down to thank the selfless Lobsang Dolma for helping them tide over the difficulties.
Benjamin Goldberg often took out the scroll and compared it with the directions and annotations.
Ram couldn’t understand and asked, “Nanga Bawa, why do you always look at this?”
Nanga Bawa is Ram’s pet name for Benjamin Goldberg. It's not a name, it's a nickname.
Because the surname in Benjamin Goldberg was originally dberg in English.
Benjamin Goldberg’s explanation is that d means gold, berg means mountain, and together they are "gold mountain".
In Tibet, there is a peak called Namjagbarwa Peak. If you stand at the right location, at the right time, and the sun shines down, the mountain will turn into a golden mountain.
Nanga Bawa, translated as a war spear piercing the blue sky.
Benjamin Goldberg pointed to the map and explained, "Before heading west, I made preparations for half a month without telling the master. I drew the map, inquired about the routes and folk customs, and explored the Central Plains. Where are the foreign merchants?You see, there are British merchants here, and Russian merchants to the north. To the east, here is a place where the northwest camel team called Ma Lin must pass. And there is a bigger ranch in Nagqu, Lamu, do you know what this means?"
In Hankou, there was a time when Benjamin Goldberg went out early and came back late. Zhao Chuanxin was wondering what he was doing at that time . In fact, he started to prepare for his journey to the west at that time.
Ram didn’t know anything about business and shook his head in confusion, “I don’t know. ”
Benjamin Goldberg had no choice but to patiently break it into pieces and explain, “We can sell the furs along the way, then go to the pastoral areas to buy cattle and sheep, and drive them back to exchange for furs.” It would be easy for Zhao Erfeng to defeat Kashag, but the war will not officially begin until at least next year. During this period, we can go back and forth many times, allowing you to become Lobsang Dolma, and also expand your flock dozens of times."
Lam's eyes widened in surprise, "Nanga Bawa, this is really Is it possible? Businessmen are cunning. The sheep are too big. What if we miscounted the numbers? I couldn’t break it off even with my fingers.
“Isn’t this me?”
So Ram happily hugged Benjamin Goldberg and said, “My Namjaba. Watt, you are amazing. ”
“Ram, let’s take a shower tonight” Benjamin Goldberg was about to suffocate.
Benjamin Goldberg was originally a handsome and handsome boy, but now he has become...
He defines himself as a dog-headed strategist, but the Ram family regards him as an iron-clad son-in-law.
Everywhere he goes to sell furs, Benjamin is there. Goldberg stepped in, negotiated prices, and settled accounts, and the fur property turned into money.
Benjamin Goldberg would not accept the money, and no one could fool him.
Foreigners saw that he was fluent in Chinese, Tibetan, and English, and talked about astronomy and geography freely, as if he knew everything, and he was very young. Some people wanted to recruit him, some suggested taking him to study abroad, and some just took Ram. They were so frightened that their backbone was tempted to leave by cunning foreign businessmen.
It wasn’t until all the furs were converted into money and the song was exchanged for countless cattle and sheep that the Ram family truly regained their composure.
Rahm happily sang an unknown song and drove the cattle and sheep back.
Benjamin Goldberg greeted the two who had grown up a lot. "Gelsang, Suba, hurry up and follow." ”
Gelsang is Ganfan’s smart daughter, and Suba is Ganfan’s stupid and naughty son.
The two dogs have now become qualified shepherd dogs.
p>
The names were all given by Ram, Gesang means "wish-fulfilling pearl", and Suba means blindly hiding medicine.
Hearing the call, Gesang ran to the front. He brought the strayed sheep back.
But Suba was having fun on the spot, looking at Benjamin Goldberg stupidly.
Until Qianfan let out a low growl, he was stunned. Then he spread his four legs,He followed up like flying.
At night, Benjamin Goldberg roasts a leg of lamb by the campfire.
Gan Fan, Gesang and Suba who were lying next to them suddenly raised their heads and looked warily in a certain direction.
Soon a distant howl sounded.
Ram's face changed slightly, "No, we must have been targeted by wolves during the day."
Benjamin Goldberg put the leg of lamb aside, "It doesn't matter. , let’s tell them who is the real owner of this land.” Please remember to collect, the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
