The lame man left, and Chen Mu estimated that he was not of enough rank to meet the Sogdian king directly, and he would not even return to the captives.

However, Chen Mu is not particularly concerned about this matter, because he has a more long-term consideration. If his consideration can be realized, there will be no one in Dunhuang City.

Now there is no food supervisor in the army, so he can only worry about food matters on his own. Before the food problem is completely solved, it is also a trouble to get too many prisoners back, and you have to go to Kong Xiao to ask for food first.

"Zhang Han, you go and tell Zhu Meng and Yuan Hong that I want to go to Putao City, and if everything goes well, I will go to Jimo City."

After a pause, he said: "Give the token order arrow to Yuan Hong and let him temporarily take over the right to travel to the school." If Zhu Meng wants to go with me, don't stop me. ”

Zhang Han was very happy in the past two days, because the woman who was rescued from Dadou Tugu was pregnant.

The woman had been in the army, she was not a waste of food, she had eyesight, and she worked with the laborers. In the past two days, she became pregnant, and she was placed by Zhang Han. Chen Mu saw that Zhang Han arranged a small dilapidated house for her, Chen Mu didn't feel good in his heart, so he directly gave Zhang Han a street store, where he could do small business and stay, and it was relatively close to the army compound. Chen Mu arranged a life for Zhang Han as a "good wife close to the land". moved Zhang Han and his wife to the point that their eyes were slightly red. Mrs. said to Zhang Han, you are with the right person.

"I'm going too, or you won't understand what they're saying."

After Xiaomei was stayed, she became more active and looked like a sensible little secretary.

Chen Mu smiled.

——

Some people will not be able to be a person once they become leaders, and they feel that if they don't take a good stand, they will be considered a leader in vain.

There are actually many such people, such as Zhu Meng.

He himself was a big boss, and in order to be able to understand the war report, he began to learn to read and write. But after a few days, he gave up. It is said that literacy is much more troublesome than martial arts, no wonder those who know words are coaxed one by one, and they thought they had great real skills.

Chen Mu read those battle reports first, and then distributed them to other officers.

The war report documents are classified at the level of confidential, some of the documents belong exclusively to Chen Mu, and some of the documents belong exclusively to the supervising army. They each have the "right to unpack". However, now Wu Dong, the superintendent of the Third Division, basically doesn't pay much attention to Zhu Meng, and only sent him a document for nearly a month, that is, a hasty instruction of a few words. Most of the time, Chen Mu opened the envelope, and after reading it, he distributed it and browsed it, some news would be announced to everyone, and some news was only known to officers above the centurion, and some news was blocked within the facial features. There are even some news that I burned after reading it.

There are a lot of war reports on Chen Mu's side, which include documents from the imperial court and gate valves, such as various border political opinions, various new systems, and new trends and new agreements between the Liang Dynasty and the surrounding small countries, all of which must be notified to the border generals.

Because there are many new treaties that will be implemented by the border authorities in the future, these treaties will inevitably be notified as soon as possible.

When an officer reaches a certain level, he needs to have a lot of new information, even if the treaty is taking place in the northeast, let the generals stationed in the northwest know about it. Because I don't know when, there may be a matter of transferring troops, and if the general of the northwest goes to the northeast, his eyes are black and he doesn't understand anything, it is really a troublesome thing.

The content of the war report is actually quite rich, and there are also mentions about the things in Luoyang City, such as marrying a little daughter-in-law with Prince Zhao Tong, who is the daughter of the chaebol Qian family. This kind of news also occupies a fucking page, which is a waste of paper.

In addition to the imperial court battle report, there is also a gate valve information notice.

Through these, Chen Mu has a better understanding of the people and things in the gate valve.

"It's all ready to go." Zhang Han strode in.

Chen Mu stood up and set off with the "secretary" Xiaomei in a car.

Zhu Meng, the overseer, said that he did not want to be crowded in the car, so he rode with him. Guangxi

On the way, Zhang Han said that our general should not look young, but he is bold, if it were me, I would not dare to run to the enemy city.

In fact, Zhang Han reminded Chen Mu on the side.

Chen Mu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have learned about the situation over there through the businessman, the people of the two countries are very friendly to Hermes-Epitek, we will go this time, under the banner of doing business, there will be no accident." ”

Zhang Han said: "I generally don't believe the words of those businessmen, and they still bully foreigners in our army. ”

Chen Mu laughed and said, "You five big and three rough men, who dares to bully you?" As long as we don't be too arrogant and have silver in our pockets as a stepping stone, we will be fine. ”

To make a long story short, they rushed to Putao City the next day, in fact, "Putao" is "grapes", but now the official documents of the Liang Dynasty still use the word Putao.

Putao City is not prosperous, but it is much more lively than Dunhuang, there are many merchants coming and going, and there are 40,000 or 50,000 people in the city. When crossing the city gate, Chen Mu said that he was in business, and the soldiers of Aziman believed it when they saw that Chen Mu was personable.

"Brother Mu, there is a seller of mutton in the basin over there." Millet said, pointing to a small restaurant not far away.

Chen Mu smiled and took Zhang Han, Zhu Meng, and Xiaomei to the restaurant.

This time when he came to Putao City, Chen Mu did not have a specific task, mainly to come and take a look, and then decide what he was going to do.

He first had to understand the price and currency situation here, and then understand the market here, to see what the people needed most, whether there was an industrial chain, and what industries could meet the needs of the local people.

But after a day here, Chen Mu was a little disappointed, because in Putao City, the main thing is the trading of necessities of life, and people are working hard for food and clothing. In such an environment, Chen Mu has no good way to invigorate the economy. He was a money-making businessman, but he was not an economist. Of course, there are times when businessmen and economists look down on each other, but they often cooperate. For example, creating a situation, using the stock market and other means to cut a wave of leeks.

After walking around the shops in the city, I ran to the market to take a look.

"Xiaomei, don't you people in the Western Regions eat eggs?"

"Eat."

"Why don't you see anyone selling it?"

"It's expensive."

"Why don't you raise your own?"

"The poor raise them, but they are reluctant to eat them, and the chicken farmers send their eggs directly to the rich families."

"Oh?" Chen Mu smiled: "With such a big business opportunity in front of us, no one has developed it." ”

"Brother Mu, are you planning to raise chickens? There are few people in Dunhuang City, who are you selling to? ”

"I don't expect to make money raising chickens at all, I'm going to sell cars. Sell the car at a low price and then give away the eggs for free. A new car with good materials sells for only five taels of silver, and then gives away five hundred eggs. ”

"Huh? Wouldn't that be a loss for death? ”

"Hehe, don't worry, you won't lose money. These 500 eggs will be cashed in slowly within three years, and they must be collected in Dunhuang. ”
