Chen Mu asked the lame man, why didn't Jiayuguan garrison troops, and the dead lame man rolled his eyes and left.

In the eyes of the lame, you Chen Mu are so monkeys, do you still need to ask me this question, I want to go.

Chen Mu is angry and doesn't fight anywhere, but he has no way to take the lame man, so he can't pull the cripple out and beat him.

If they do things like that, they will only have a superior-subordinate relationship in the future, and they will no longer be friends.

will make yourself very lonely.

And the cripple's temper is not a forgiving person, and if you offend him once, I don't know how long it will take to make up for the emotional scars, or maybe it will never be able to make up for it.

"Brother Mu, there are many laborers who complain that they don't eat well, they have a bad temper all day long, they don't want to work, they don't listen to orders. Agilhan asked me to ask you what to do. ”

The title of "Brother Mu" was called so by Chen Mu Xiaomei, and he said that it sounded comfortable to listen to.

In fact, the problem that Xiaomei said is an old problem. These men were laborers, not soldiers, and they had been borrowed from the Sogdian king Alidayi, and they could not be managed in the same way as they managed the army, otherwise they would be dragged out and beaten up, and there would be nothing wrong with them.

It's already good to be full, and I clamore for meat all day long.

Chen Mu frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know where to buy some cattle and sheep to improve the food for the laborers." I have some money here, and some rice and noodles. ”

Xiaomei seemed to be afraid of something, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "There are three places to choose from, such as our Sogdian East County, which is what you call Yizhou, if you are too far away, then you can go to Putao City or Jimo City." But...... Now the city of grapes is occupied by the Aziman, and the last city is occupied by the Qur'ans. ”

Dunhuang is the capital of Shazhou, the grape city, the city of Qitun, and the end of the city were originally under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang, together it is called the Shazhou area, now it is occupied, but also a heart disease of Chen Mu.

Chen Mu, as a military general in the Shazhou region stationed in Dunhuang, naturally has the responsibility to get these three cities back, but these three cities are occupied by two countries, and at this time Chen Mu has only 500 soldiers under his command, I am afraid that the deterrent power is not enough, in the words of Tang Liu, the county commander: We are not qualified to negotiate now.

If Chen Mu was also Tang Liu, he would definitely agree with Tang Liu's statement, but unfortunately Chen Mu felt that it was not like that.

Ben would have negotiated with the surrounding small countries, representing the Great Liang Dynasty, not just these 500 soldiers.

However, before meeting the other king, you should prepare first, and you can't act recklessly.

"Cripple!"

"What?"

"You go to Jiaohe City."

"What am I doing there?"

"Send these laborers back, and then get our captives back. I have heard that there are still 800 captives in the hands of the Sogdian king. ”

"What do you want them to do? We don't have that much food, and now the laborers are so good to eat, that we have less than three months of food left. ”

"If you want to go, you'll go, what so much nonsense!"

"Okay, I'll ask for it, don't worry about coming back."

The lame man received the order and prepared to send an envoy to Jiaohe City to meet the Sogdian king Alidayi, and by the way send the five hundred laborers back. 04

Since you don't like to eat well, then you stay here, and you won't serve.

At this time, Chen Mu considered two things, first, to make money, and then go to a nearby small country to buy grain. Second, go to Putao City and Jimo City to take a look at the situation.

When it comes to making money, this is Chen Mu's old business, he has never worried about not making money, as long as he is allowed to go to nearby cities for a walk, he can be keenly aware of business opportunities. There are so many sales routines in his stomach, he can use it. Now he is thinking about the more common routine, producing a product, occupying the market at a low price, killing all competitors, and controlling prices after forming a monopoly.

Ordinary businessmen will definitely not be able to do anything to the military, and Chen Mu, as a small overlord, has the advantage of Baidao.

The lame man called Agilhan to discuss the return of the laborers, and soon after, Xiaomei ran over to Chen Mu crying:

"Brother Mu, are you going to let us all go?"

The girl cried so much that Chen Mu nodded with difficulty: "They were borrowed by me, and I promised you the king that I would treat them well, but now that you are not doing well, I feel guilty, so I decided to let you go back." Anyway, the construction of Dunhuang is not a matter of one or two days. I'm going to think long-term. ”

Later, Xiaomei said that she didn't want to leave, for more than a month, she had been following Chen Mu, she said that leaving Chen Mu would feel that life was boring, and she didn't want to go back to live a life of herding sheep.

Chen Mu looked at Xiaomei, a little soft-hearted, the girl just doesn't know how to dress up like the Wanhualou woman, but she has a good foundation, some of these small women in the Western Regions have both the delicacy of a Han woman and the high nose and deep eyes of a woman in the Western Regions, and they look quite like a star in the previous life.

Chen Mu nodded and said that he was going to talk to Agilhan.

Xiaomei smiled happily, but she pouted and begged Chen Mu again, hoping to keep her father, the old man of Ezar, who was left with only one daughter, her, and both sons died on the battlefield.

Chen Mu went to find Agilhan, and did not talk about keeping the two of them, but gave him fifty taels of silver, saying, this is our private relationship, this parting, I don't know when we can meet again. Take the fifty taels of silver and buy some gifts for your wife and children, and I will be a guest at your house.

Agilhan was a little moved.

Chen Mu said that he hoped to keep Xiaomei, and also left her disabled father, and hoped that Agilhan would be accommodating, but if it is difficult for you to deal with the Sogdian king, I will write another letter of apology.

Agilhan said that when they get sick and die, it is normal for labor to be attritional.

——

The lame man and Agilhan led the team away, and Chen Mu was worried that they would encounter horse bandits on the road, so he also brought ten cavalry and ninety infantry to the lame man.

Chen Mu stood at the gate of the city, watching the lame man leave; Xiaomei stood beside Chen Mu, holding her big braids with both hands; The old man wiped away his tears and waved goodbye to some of his old friends.

Back in the city, Chen Mu arranged a place for the old man of Adjara.

The first thing to do is to go to the county government to check the vacancy of the house and find an ownerless property.

As a result, when I went to the county office, there were a lot of vacant properties.

Tang Liu discussed with Chen Mu that he wanted to sell these properties so that he could make a lot of money.

Chen Mu said, don't sell it first, in the future, I may have to use these properties to attract the people in the Guannai, or I am planning to write a memo to implement the policy of integrating soldiers and civilians in the border towns.

In the border area of the Liang Dynasty, the military attache was higher than the political official, and Tang Liu had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that Tang Liu was unhappy, Chen Mu smiled and said: "There are more than 320 vacant properties here, and more than 700 old mansions that have been uninhabited for more than 15 years, I think we might as well manage them separately, these vacant properties belong to me, those properties that have been uninhabited all year round, posted with notices, no one has claimed or inherited them for more than a year, and they will be under the management of your county in the future." When the time comes, I won't interfere with what you like. ”

Hearing this, Tang Liu smiled.
