Cui Jiuming always goes to Su Ren's general's mansion these days, and he doesn't care about the time. When Su Ren is eating, Cui Jiuming breaks in, says something, sits down, picks up the bowl, and eats. When Su Ren is going to the toilet,
Cui Jiuming came in and stood at the toilet entrance to chat with Su Ren. Su Ren knew what Cui Jiuming was doing, but Su Ren just ignored him.
The war in Mayi was declared over after five days. The 200,000 Han troops set up a huge ambush for the Huns. After the Xiongnu Shanyu fled with three thousand remaining soldiers, all the remaining belongings were left behind.
Some people even lamented that after such a great victory, the Huns would not dare to step into the territory of the Han Dynasty for at least ten years. Su Ren just smiled at such words.
Scavengers such as wolves and eagles all emerged from the nooks and crannies of the horns. They were not afraid of people and stood on the edge of the mountain of corpses to gnaw. Han Anguo once ordered people to drive them away, but the effect was not good. The animals' brains were all broken.
It's simple. You spend your whole life just for that one bite of food. If you die, you will die. As long as there is food, everything else is just a cloud.
In fact, the soldiers did not guard those corpses closely, because they were the corpses of the Huns. The corpses of the Han army had been processed long ago. There was no way to take the corpses back, so they could only burn them into ashes and put them in jars.
Write your name, surname and place of origin on the outside to give an explanation to your family members. Having these ashes is better than having nothing at all.
Su Ren attended the funeral of the fallen soldiers of the Han army. It was a big scene for tens of thousands of people. As the head coach of one side, it was absolutely necessary to attend in person. It is said that Su Ren even shed tears and announced loudly that whether he was killed or injured, he
They would all ask the court to give them rewards. This has never happened before. It is natural for soldiers to eat food and die in battle. No one feels that there is any unfair treatment. Rewards are better than nothing. At least they can make the wife and children at home live.
better.
The soldiers from Shu County concentrated under Wei Qing. Wei Qing acted as the force to resist Shanyu's reinforcements. Everyone could see the hard work of that battle, and there were many more casualties than the troops attacking the city. As a general of Shu County, Su Ren's
The former superiors naturally wanted to give them higher rewards. The merchants headed by the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce did not fall behind others and raised funds to build monuments and biographies for the fallen soldiers in Shu County. This kind of glory will not last for hundreds of years, as long as that monument
If it doesn't suck, someone will always remember it.
No matter how difficult it is to dispose of the corpse, it is just a matter of fire and money. What is even more difficult is the prisoners. If the first criminal escapes, the accomplices will be regarded as the first criminal. The kings will be taken to Chang'an to offer prisoners, and the remaining soldiers will not
It's such an arrangement. There are a lot of people, and the money and food they spend every day is a bottomless pit. Moreover, the Huns do not fight as an individual, but as a family. Behind a soldier, there may be mothers, wives, and a large group of children. Deal with one
People and their families are also included in the processing.
The imperial report had not been returned yet, so this group of people were temporarily imprisoned in Mayi City. Fortunately, there was such a city, otherwise there would be no place to search in the open grassland.
Su Ren came out of the hut, and Cui Jiuming quickly stepped forward to scoop water from a wooden ladle to wash Su Ren's hands. Su Ren looked at Cui Jiuming with a smile, and naturally stretched his hand under the wooden ladle to enjoy Cui Jiuming's service.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you're not tired of going back and forth, I'd be annoyed by it!"
Cui Jiuming said quickly: "It's okay, I just came to see you out of boredom. The war is over. You have made great achievements this time. When you return, you will definitely be promoted to a higher position. I am happy for you."
"Is it really okay?"
"It's okay!"
"Well, thank you for your kind words, you can go."
Not only did Cui Jiuming not leave, he quickly followed Su Ren when he left. He was about to enter Su Ren's handsome tent. Cui Jiuming gritted his teeth, walked two steps quickly, and stopped in front of Su Ren: "Okay, okay, I'll say it."
, when will the things you promised me start? Those guys are driving me to death! If there is no news today, I will not be able to get out of this door."
"What's the matter?"
"Are you still pretending to be confused?" Cui Jiuming jumped up: "What else is going on? What happened after the war? You promised that seizures and military exploits are money-making businesses. Are you deceiving us? Don't forget
, you are not the largest shareholder of this Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and you don’t care about it anymore, but your words are more useful than me, the president, why? Everyone still doesn’t believe you. If you lie to us this time, I’m afraid..."
"Don't scare me with this? You are the president of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce. If you don't like me, you should be fired. You wish I could go out and work alone! With you dragging me down, do you know how much money I have made less in these years?"
Cui Jiuming chuckled and said: "Yes, yes, we are dragging you down and delaying you from making money. Mr. Su did everything for us. I, Cui Jiuming, will never forget this great kindness even if I die. How about it? Now you can talk about it
Alright?"
Su Ren shook his head and sighed: "Things were easy to handle, but look how busy I have been these days? General Han's prisoners asked me to think of a way. General Li and General Cheng followed each other, and I became both.
I have a general who specializes in handling prisoners, and they take advantage of it. All the work is mine. Those are 50,000 prisoners. To be honest, they are prisoners. To be honest, they are 50,000 mouths. Do you know how much food you need to eat in a day?"
"I will find a way to deal with food. As long as the court provides money, they will never starve to death!"
"The food thing is easy to handle, but what about the people? You can't just learn it for free, right? That's 50,000 prisoners, including their families, it sounds like a big headache."
Cui Jiuming thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Well, I really can't do anything about it. Even if you give me people for free, I can't do anything. These people don't know how to farm and don't understand the rules. What's more, I can only do it if I want people."
Is it really the way to die, or you should think of a better way. If you need help, just let me know. If you need help, there will be someone, and if you need money, you will have money. Isn't this interesting? "
Cui Jiuming stayed outside the Great Wall for a year, and his original pig-like body has lost some weight, and now he looks much more pleasing to the eye when standing next to him. This guy looks more and more like a profiteer. He wears a Shu brocade robe and smiles like his personality.
Like Maitreya Buddha, his mouth is full of money, which instantly reveals his true nature. Su Ren heard that Cui Jiuming had contacted the palace in private, which is good! At least this guy is not so confused that he will risk his life for making money.
.
After teasing Cui Jiuming enough, Su Ren started to get down to business: "Do you really want money and people?"
Cui Jiuming patted his chest and assured: "Who am I, Old Cui? You have been cooperating with me for such a long time. When did I, Old Cui, ever say such big things in front of you?"
"In that case, I have something for you to do!"
"Ah! Really?" Cui Jiuming was startled, and when he saw Su Ren's eyes, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Tell me, it will be done properly."
"Find a way to get these people to Jiangsu."
"Jiangsu New City?" Cui Jiuming looked at Su Ren: "They are herdsmen, not the mountain people in Lingnan. There is water everywhere in Jiangsu, and we can neither herd sheep nor herd horses. Is it okay to let these herdsmen farm?"
"Who said they should be allowed to farm? Just bring the people there, Canglang and the others will take care of the rest. Do you think that's okay?"
Cui Jiuming hesitated for a long time: "That's OK! But it's not just one or two people. It's not easy to handle the great migration of tens of thousands of people!"
Su Ren pointed at Cui Jiuming: "I knew you would make conditions, tell me?"
Cui Jiuming smiled again: "First of all, there must be official documents from the court. You should be able to do this. Secondly, tens of thousands of people have traveled thousands of miles to eat, drink and have sex. It is all money. There must be guards and soldiers. I think there are more than ten
Ten thousand people, that’s not a small amount of money. Even if the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce has money, it’s not a way to spend it like this. If you can’t find a way to mend the hole, I really have no choice.”
"Hey, you profiteer! You are not careful in making friends! You refuse to do such a good thing for the imperial court and still expect the imperial court to give you an official position?"
"Stop!" Cui Jiuming suddenly interrupted Su Ren: "What did you just say?"
"I said you push the three and block the four."
"It's not this sentence, it's the latter sentence!"
"The last sentence, oh, don't expect the court to give you an official position."
Cui Jiuming excitedly grabbed Su Ren's arm: "Is this serious?"
"What do you think?"
"Then what official position is the court planning to give me? Is it a doctor? Or a doctor? Or..."
"That's it! Doctor, doctor, don't think about it. This matter is actually about you using money to buy an official position. How big of an official can it be? It's just an imperial edict. I'll give you a happy word if you want to do it or not!"
"Do it, do it..."
In ancient times, as a merchant, you had nothing but money. Even if you were as rich as a millionaire or as rich as the enemy, you had to bow your head in front of a petty official, but this person didn't even look at him. This is
The current situation of society, no one thinks it is strange, and no one thinks there is a problem. Although the president of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is not a standard president, and his family has a lot of money, Cui Zhao is still a small servant.
Jiu Ming was very excited.
How big an official is Shi Zhao? Let's put it this way, it's like a civil servant today, but this civil servant is closer to the emperor. As long as the emperor appreciates you, it's still possible to call you and ask for a few words. But Cui Jiuming knows that Cui Jiuming is purely a civil servant.
Not only would the emperor not seek him out for honor, but whether he would receive a salary or not was a matter of debate. However, this did not dampen Cui Jiuming's excitement. No matter how big or small it was, it meant that the Cui family had finally entered the palace.
Cui Jiuming left happily, and the problem of the prisoners was solved. Su Ren was still relieved about Cui Jiuming. The biggest advantage of this guy was that he did well, otherwise he would not have let the Cui family become his partners in the first place.
.
The Battle of Mayi is over, the goal of encircling and annihilating the Huns has been achieved, and everyone in the big tent is very happy. Victory is the greatest desire of the soldiers. The days when the Han people endured for hundreds of years are gone, and what is left is not the Huns.
How do people take revenge, but what are they going to do with the Huns? Looking at the posture, you can tell that the imperial court will never easily let go of the Huns who have been weighing on their heads for hundreds of years. If they don't completely eradicate the Huns, this war will probably never end.
