Cui Jiuming has become fat again. With his fat head and big ears, he looks like a pig. Standing on the boat, his boat is three times more stable than a human in the river.
Hawking put his hands to his mouth and shouted at Cui Jiuming: "Old Cui, hurry up, your boat is about to be sunk by you! Hahaha..."
Cui Jiuming waved to Hawking with a smile on his face.
After spending a lot of strength and with the help of more than a dozen people, Cui Jiuming climbed up the two-foot-high side of the boat with difficulty. As soon as he got on the boat, the entire boat tilted slightly. Su Ren walked over with a smile and looked up and down.
He glanced at Cui Jiuming and said, "Are you doing well? We haven't seen each other for a year, why are you like this? Listen to me and lose weight quickly!"
Cui Jiuming also smiled and said: "That's why I came to Kuaiji!"
"You are here to lose weight! Then you have to pay. We are going to fight. If you follow me like this, I will have to leave someone to protect you. You have to pay the protection fee first. A thousand dollars a day, isn't it much?"
"Hahaha... you are still the guy who is blind to money!"
Cui Jiuming came, and the other merchants all said goodbye in a sensible manner. Su Ren did not stop them, and let them go after saying some words of encouragement. He took Cui Jiuming's arm and introduced the people standing in front of him one by one.
"This is Li Danghu, the eldest son of Weiwei General Li Guang; this is Gongsun He, the son of Pingquhou; this is Wei Qing, Mrs. Wei's younger brother, this...! You basically know the rest,
By the way, there is also this little brother, Li Gan, the third brother of the elder brother."
"Look at this big fat man. He is a powerful figure. He is the president of the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. He manages hundreds of merchants under his command. All the merchants on the ships are under his control. He stomps his feet and the ground trembles. If you have no money, go to him.
I can’t say that he is the richest person in the world, but at least he is the richest person among the people I know!”
Hawking continued: "Yes, you can tell by his appearance that he is a rich man. People without money can't be so fat!"
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Huo Jin: "Why don't you find a stool for Shopkeeper Cui?"
They are all court officials and have their own backgrounds. Although they are young, from a low position, they all need Cui Jiuming to kneel down. But here he is Su Ren's friend, so naturally everyone regards Cui Jiuming as a friend.
Cui Jiuming was a little embarrassed. He wanted to say something to Su Ren, but he didn't dare to drive others away. He just sat there with a smile that a businessman should have. Su Ren smiled slightly: "What's so good about fat man? If you...
Go and do whatever you have to do, okay?"
Li Danghu stood up first, and Cui Jiuming quickly stood up and saluted. Gongsun He and Ying Guangji did not leave. They seemed to have not heard Su Ren's words and sat there staring at Cui Jiuming.
Su Ren looked at the two people: "You two really don't want to leave?"
Ying Guangji shook his head: "If you don't leave, you won't leave even if you kill me!"
"Yes, I won't leave even if I beat you to death!"
Su Ren laughed: "I knew you two were thick-skinned, but I didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned. Okay, just leave if you don't want to! Say it!"
Cui Jiuming smiled at the two of them and moved his chair towards Su Ren: "According to your wishes, the first 100,000 stones of grain and grass have arrived, and the rest are being transported!"
"One hundred thousand stones? You are really willing to spend a lot of money!" Ying Guangji was shocked.
"Don't interrupt, listen to them!"
Cui Jiuming smiled shyly: "In addition, the Zhuo family's 500 sets of armor and 300 war horses have also been delivered."
Su Ren nodded: "Very good, you didn't leave it to those guys in Kuaiji?"
Cui Jiuming smiled and shook his head: "No, they are all hoarded outside the city. If you don't come, who would dare to give them to them?"
"Thank you for your hard work. This is a success. I will take credit for your contribution!"
After just saying these two words, the two stopped talking about official matters, and instead talked about their friendship and jokes in Shu County. Gongsun He and Ying Guangji looked at each other, shook their heads silently, got up and returned to the cabin. These
It was not a secret in their eyes. Su Ren came to Kuaiji to quell the chaos with the emperor's imperial edict, and took this opportunity to make a small fortune for the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce he controlled. It was not a big deal at all.
Seeing the two people entering the cabin, Cui Jiuming smiled slightly: "According to your instructions, I have joined forces with the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce to purchase a large amount of land in Yuzhang and Lujiang. However, those places are too desolate, and the imperial court will really relocate the people.
?”
Su Ren smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, you have to believe Su Changshi. If you want to annihilate the Yue people and completely cut off the threat from the south of the Han Dynasty, moving the Yue people north and the Han people south is the best way. Now Jianghuai is sparsely populated.
, land is cheap, and when more people come, it will become very valuable, and it is possible to make ten times the profit! How much have you bought now?"
"About five hundred hectares."
"Five hundred hectares?"
"Too much?"
"How many farts, buying 100,000 hectares is still enough!"
"One hundred thousand hectares? How many people can live in such a large area?"
"Anyway, five hundred hectares is too little. It needs at least the area of two counties. When the time comes, we will build the city ourselves and gather the people. Although we don't have the title of a county, we will do the things of the county. In our city, we will be the emperor!"
Cui Jiuming's eyes widened: "Is this okay?"
"It's okay! If the money is not enough, I will find a way!"
"I always feel that something is wrong. It doesn't make sense to split the earth and proclaim oneself the imperial court."
"Asking the imperial court to govern means, what's wrong with us paying taxes to the imperial court? It doesn't take too long, as long as you persist for ten years, the rewards will be extraordinary. If it really doesn't work, just give it to the imperial court, with a letter written by your majesty himself.
Once the plaque is hung at home, Mr. Cui will be able to entertain his grandson and support him for thousands of years."
Cui Jiuming thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll send someone to do it right now!"
"Don't send anyone, go and do it yourself. Things there are more important than here. This is the reason why I called you here this time. It also happens to help you lose weight."
"Okay, I'll go!"
The boat is sailing on the Yangtze River, and all you can see is the long river. The scenery on both sides of the river is picturesque. It has not been artificially carved and has its own natural beauty. Su Renzheng was sitting on the boat chatting with a group of people during the day. There was no need to worry about ambushes and assassins on the river.
All expenses are settled on the boat, which is very comfortable.
Li Danghu and Gongsun He began to get seasick. After vomiting three times, they were never seen again. All the troops and horses were handed over to Wei Qing's command, and Su Ren felt relieved. Jiujiang County was ahead, and they would have to climb the mountain in two days' walk.
Shore. This is great news for the soldiers who have lived in the north all year round. Many people rushed out of the cabin and looked up to the land. They missed the feeling of stepping on the ground with their feet and the blue sky above their heads.
The people who came from Kuaiji to greet Su Ren walked at the front of the fleet. They were responsible for taking care of Ren's Chang Shi all the way. The person who picked them up, Su Ren, had never met him before. After hearing his name once, he was not interested in meeting him.
.
Master Fu Yan, the chief secretary of the Kuaiji County Sheriff's Mansion, has a dignified appearance, speaks calmly, and is considerate in his work. He doesn't understand why the new chief minister doesn't want to see him. Although he has doubts in his heart, he is still conscientious in what he should do.
Early that morning, Master Fu Yan had to come even if he didn't come. He bravely climbed onto Su Ren's boat and greeted everyone with a smile. No one paid attention to them, just like looking at clowns.
Staring at the master's father.
Shi Bao was a smart man. When he saw his father Yan was about to enter the cabin, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Master, are you looking for my husband? He is not feeling well today and is resting. No one is allowed to disturb him if he hears the news."
Master Fu Yan quickly handed over his hand: "Mr. Su is sick, so we need to find a medical officer quickly. The soil and water here are not good, so we are most likely to get sick. There is a medical officer on my ship, so I will send someone to call him now."
"That's not necessary. Mr. Chunyu, the miracle doctor, is here. He has already looked at him and there is nothing serious."
The master's father took a deep breath and said, "That's very good. However, I really have something important to report. I'd like to ask Guard Shi to send a message. It's about the Yue people!"
Ying Guangji rushed over: "Does the King of Minyue know that his prime minister and son are dead?"
The master's father was stunned for a moment and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, Master Ying has misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with Minyue."
"What's that?"
"this……"
"Just say it! He is more concerned about the Yue people than me now, so he said it's okay!" Su Ren looked rosy and breathed calmly. He held the cabin with one hand and stood behind Shi Bao.
Master Yan wanted to salute, but was pulled away by Ying Guangji. It was also the first time for him to see the future Chang Shi, so he couldn't help but turn his head and take a few more glances. Jealousy immediately rose in his heart, and he had the thought that the emperor was too much.
It's child's play, the Changshi in front of me is just a child.
After being stunned for a moment, Master Fuyan put away his thoughts and said: "Reporting to Su Changshi, the prefect sent news that the South Vietnamese State sent an envoy to ask for surrender. They are in Kuaiji. The prefect hopes that Chang Shi will rush to Kuaiji as soon as possible."
"Oh?" Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The South Vietnamese country ran very fast, and they surrendered before I even arrived?"
"Yes! The Yue people are divided into four tribes, Min Yue, Nan Yue, Dong Ai and Luo Yue. Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, Qin general Zhao Tuo guarded Nanling. The Qin Emperor moved hundreds of thousands of people in order to end the Yue people's rebellion forever. Our dynasty
Since the time of Emperor Gaozu, the four tribes of Yue people have continued to surrender, and the imperial court has also sent large armies to encircle and suppress them. However, because the roads are difficult to travel and plagues are frequent, they cannot be eradicated. Now these four tribes of Yue people attack each other. Sometimes they show great respect to me, and sometimes they show great respect to me.
Rebellion arose, and wars continued in the south of our Han Dynasty, all because of the rebellion of the Yue people."
"This time when the King of South Vietnam came to surrender, I thought that I must have heard that my great Han was going to send troops to annihilate the Yue people, so he repeated his old tricks. It must not be believed! This is the word of one person, Xiaguan, please consider it."
Su Ren looked at his master and his father Yan. Based on what he said just now, it can be seen that this guy is not just a fool, but also has something in his stomach. Otherwise, he would not be able to survive in front of the wise and powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for a long time.
Su Rendao: "I know what to do? Send someone back immediately and tell the prefect that I want to entertain the South Vietnamese envoys. Don't neglect them. I want to see them!"
Master Yan raised his head and glanced at Su Ren. Seeing that Su Ren was serious, he quickly swallowed his words back: "No!"
After the master's father left, Wei Qing looked at his back and said to Su Ren: "This man is quite talented. Your Majesty is looking for someone, so why not recommend him to your Majesty?"
Su Ren shook his head: "I want to recommend you, but I don't want to attract wolves into the house." (To be continued)
