It's not without reason that Yin Zhixie can make so many Xiongnu tribes surrender to him. This man's generous character is very deceptive. No matter who is useful to him, Yin Zhixie will never be stingy with rewards. But careful people are still
We can see some clues from Yin Zhixie's rewards. For example, if Liu Hong does a good job, he will be rewarded with gold, silver and jewelry. If the Huns do well, they will be rewarded with cattle, horses and sheep. If his cronies do well, they will be rewarded with gold, silver and jewelry.
The reward became pasture and land.
This is where Yin Zhixie is smart. He not only wants to win over everyone, but also divides people into several levels. Only those who he trusts the most can get real benefits from him. Obviously, Liu Hong
Not enough weight.
For Su Ren, Yin Zhixie used high-ranking officials and generous salaries to seduce him. He opened his mouth and said that he was the Marquis of Gudu. Su Ren didn't know what kind of official this Guduhou was and how big he was. But judging from the reaction of everyone in the account, this official position should be small.
No, at least it's much bigger than Liu Hong's Thousand Households.
Yin Zhixie smiled at Su Ren and said: "How about it? Mr. Su, as long as you are willing to surrender to me, the Zuo Gu Duhou will let you do it. As long as I, Yin Zhixie, am King Zuo Guli, you will be Zuo Guli.
How about it, Lord Gudu?"
Su Ren stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I don't know who is bigger, Zuo Guduhou or Liu Qianhu?"
"Uh! Hahaha..." Yin Zhi laughed sideways, and everyone in the tent also laughed together.
Liu Hong stood up and saluted Su Ren: "Mr. Su, you don't know. The Zuo Gu Duhou is equivalent to the Zuo Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. He is only a mere thousand households, that is, a school captain. How can a school captain be compared with the prime minister?"
"Prime Minister! Such a big official?" Su Ren pretended to be surprised: "Doesn't that mean that one person is inferior to everyone? If so, I have to think about it carefully." Su Ren frowned again:
"But I also know my own weight. As prime minister, I am afraid that I will delay the king's affairs. When the king kills me in a rage, I will not even have a place to reason. I'd better forget it, Lord Zuogu."
He bowed to Yin Zhixie again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I haven't done a good job in being a Taizhong doctor in the Han Dynasty, but I dare not harm your Majesty. I am just a merchant. As long as your Majesty needs it, I am willing to do business with you. As for doing
It makes no difference whether you are an official or not. Don't worry, Your Majesty, everyone. This businessman doesn't care about people, he only cares about whether the business can make money. As long as there is enough profit, he can do anything."
Yin Zhi smiled sideways: "What if I want the country of the Han Dynasty?"
Su Ren also smiled: "This king is a bit pushy. The country of the Han Dynasty is not mine. No matter how much money I spend, I can't buy it. Even if the emperor of the Han Dynasty is willing to sell it, the king still has to have so much money to buy it."
! In my humble opinion, it would be better for the king to lead the Huns to have the courage to rob it and get a better deal."
"Hahaha..." Many of the Huns knew Chinese. Su Ren spoke so straightforwardly that everyone immediately laughed. Even Yin Zhixie laughed heartily and pointed at Su Ren and said to the crowd:
"He is really a businessman, a genuine businessman."
Su Ren couldn't understand the Huns spoken by Yin Zhixie and a group of Huns. Fortunately, there was a Han slave beside him to translate for him. Su Ren laughed with everyone. When everyone had stopped laughing, Su Ren said again: "
Your Majesty, if big business cannot be done, small business can still be done. Small people have grain, salt, cloth, tools, etc., and as long as the price is right, they can all be sold to the King. I wonder if the King needs it?"
Yin Zhi smiled obliquely: "I need it, I need it very much, as much as I want."
"That's good, I'll be satisfied if I can help the king and the villain. The king also knows that the villain is in the business of beheading, so the price will naturally be higher, so please forgive me!"
A Huns face darkened, drew out his scimitar and stood up: "Hmph! The little Han dares to negotiate terms with us. If you don't give us food, I will kill you!"
Su Ren looked horrified: "Why bother? If you kill me, you won't have any food, so it's better to keep it. As for the price, we can just discuss it. As long as it's suitable, it doesn't matter how much it is. This is business."
Yin Zhi said obliquely: "Mr. Su, how much does one stone of grain cost for a big man?"
"Five cents."
"Then how much money are you going to ask from me?"
Su Ren scratched his head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, let me do the math for you. Your Majesty needs a lot of grain, so he has to buy it from the Huainan area. The price of grain there is also calculated at five yuan. Every day when it is transported from Huainan to Yanmen
The shipping fee for one stone is still almost five yuan. If you want to get out of the border, you have to open all the joints. One stone of grain increases by fifty yuan. I guess the king wants me to send the grain here, so there is another shipping fee. This has to pass through the territory of King Li of Yougu.
, just add thirty more coins, so even if the villain doesn’t earn a penny, one stone of food will cost ninety coins! The king can’t let the villain work in vain, so the whole figure is a hundred coins, and it can’t be any less.
"
"Hiss..." A heavy breath of air-conditioning could be heard. A stone of grain changed hands just like this. Su Ren reasonably doubled it twenty times. You must know that a horse in the Xiongnu only cost one or two hundred yuan. Su Ren explained it this way,
One horse only cost two stones of grain, and he said it as if he was at a disadvantage.
Su Ren rolled his eyes: "If the king himself transports it from Yanmen Pass, it will be much cheaper, and he can save at least half. This price is based on my affinity with the king. If it were placed by others, it would be even higher.
I may not even be willing to give it to him."
After Su Ren calculated the food, he also calculated the price of salt, ironware, cotton cloth, and even soldiers and armors. The more outrageous the calculation, the more people listening were stunned. In the originally bustling tent, there was silence. Su Ren
He said that his mouth was dry and he sat on his seat to drink water. The Huns next to him glared at him, but no one dared to do anything to Su Ren without Yin Zhixie speaking.
Liu Hong said coldly: "If it's so expensive, why not grab it!"
This statement was approved by many Huns, and some of them began to yell and scream, and even wanted to go out and lead others to do it.
Yin Zhixie shouted, stopping everyone's impulse, and looked at Su Ren: "As far as I know, the price Mr. Su gave Yu Dan is much lower."
"This is true. Your Majesty also knows that King Youguli is my friend. We met in Luoyi back then. My white horse was a gift from King Youguli at that time. I still have to give it to you in such a situation, not to mention
The royal court of King Youguli is not far from Mayi, and King Youguli transports the grain from Mayi himself, so the price will be lower." Su Ren patted his head: "Hey, it's not as good as this, the king can
Buy it from King Youguli. Although the price is a little higher than that of King Youguli, it is definitely not as expensive as mine. After all, the king is the uncle of King Youguli, so he still has to give it such a favor."
"Hahaha..." Yin Zhi laughed sideways, staring at Su Ren with his eyes: "How much food does Mr. Su think he can exchange for?"
Su Ren shook his head: "To be honest, I am just a messenger in these matters. The people doing business are the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. Because I have acquaintances in the Han court, the Yanmen Pass defenders and King Yougu Li, so they
They just invited me here. If they don't have money, even if they kill me, they won't get a grain of food. They are pure businessmen."
"Isn't the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce yours?"
Su Ren smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wrong again. The Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. I am just a member, not even the president. Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by some people!" After saying this, Su Ren said with a smile.
Ren glanced at Liu Hong.
Yin Zhixie also followed Su Ren's gaze and looked at Liu Hong, and then said: "So there is no room for negotiation on this matter?"
Su Ren immediately waved his hand: "Everything is possible to negotiate, but it just depends on whether the king has what I want. If the king can give me something I like in exchange, we can still negotiate."
"War horse?" Yin Zhi shook his head: "I don't have any extra war horses."
"Cattle and sheep are fine too. I'm not picky. I want whatever I want."
"What do you need cattle and sheep for? The man has no pasture, how can he feed thousands of cattle and sheep?"
Su Rendao: "The Han people like to eat meat just like the Huns, and they like beef and mutton the most. The profits from the cattle and mutton can make up for the loss I have given to the king, otherwise this business will really be impossible."
"You really don't want a war horse?"
Su Ren shook his head: "Although the war horse is good, I also know its effect on the king, so a gentleman will not take away people's love."
Yin Zhixie whispered to his Huns again. This time, the slave kneeling behind Su Ren didn't understand the situation and looked at Su Ren quietly without knowing what he was thinking. Liu Hong sat in the corner and also looked at Su Ren.
He didn't understand why Su Ren wanted so many cattle and sheep, but he knew there must be some conspiracy, but he didn't see it.
After deliberation for a long time, still no decision was made. Yin Zhixie sent Su Ren back to rest, saying that he would wait for him to think about it before making a decision. Su Ren did not persuade further, got up and left, and returned to his tent. After talking for a whole day, his tongue was wet.
I was numb, so I drank three large bowls of water in a row before I felt better. Not everyone is accustomed to drinking kumiss. For Su Ren, it was more powerful than poison.
As soon as he entered Su Ren's tent, the servants following behind him were impatient: "Mr. Su, do you really want to send food to the Huns?"
Su Ren glanced at this puzzling servant: "You also listened to what I just said, and you listened to what I didn't understand. What else is there to ask?"
"Aren't you afraid that fattening up the Huns will be even more detrimental to my big man?"
Su Ren looked at the slave and smiled: "You big man? Aren't you a slave of the Huns?"
"Even if they are slaves, they are still Han Chinese!"
Huang Shisan curled his lips: "If you can't protect yourself, how can you care about others? My husband is not the emperor. As long as it is beneficial to us, what can't we do? There is no need for you, a slave, to make irresponsible remarks!"
Su Ren raised his hand to stop Huang Shisan and stared at the slave: "Tell me, who are you?"
"I, I..." Su Ren took a step forward, and the servant took a step back. Just as he was about to leave the tent, another servant rushed to Su Ren with a shout, protecting his companions behind him, glaring at Su Ren and saying: "No.
