Chapter 82 Soil is needed to create wealth
Gently, Chu Ping was gone; With a wave of his hand, take away a stack of bills...
Leaving Wen Cheng, Wang Ba, and Wu Liang to look at each other;
It's a pity that the two children of the Wen family on duty at the door are not lucky to witness this good show!
"Second uncle, five hundred times! Just rolled it out? "Wu Liang is distressed, don't want it, how young can you earn it?
"Money is just a medium for the exchange of resources; Its essence is to represent a variety of resources. If you have money, you can get the manpower and material resources you want, and it will be easier to do more things.
Let's find a way to occupy more resources.
In the future, we will have soldiers in our hands and food in our warehouses, so why worry about running out of money? ”
Wen Cheng sighed:
"I've only heard of people who make money in the country and people who die, and it's the first time I've seen someone who makes a 'family that is hard to make money'! It's been a long time... watched a big show, it was good not to let me wait to pay, what did you do with so much money from the servants? It's not easy for people to act in their true colors. ”
Wang Ba and Wu Liang naturally didn't understand what the 'Living Wine Sword' meant, but they also admired the talent of the Chu family!
The person is handsome and speaks nicely - in the face of the guy who may be the enemy of his father, from the beginning to the end, he is very courteous and polite, and he is impeccable.
What's more, people also gave gifts three times - although they were declined by Wen Cheng once.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I shouldn't accept gifts from others anymore!
In the country of etiquette, you have to pay attention to etiquette.
It's just three things, Chu Ping gave two gifts, and we went to the door to pick it up once, which is already a little embarrassing.
Alas, be kind!

A few days later, a spies suddenly came to report: there are scattered barbarians who are looting in Shanghe Township! Shanghe Township implored the county to send troops to rescue.
Shanghe Township, 60 miles away from Yuechi County; It's just that it's in a mountainous area and the roads are rough and difficult.
The meaning of the text is that the enemy's situation is unknown, and it is necessary to wait for the spies to find out in detail before making a decision; Master Shi thought that only a few scattered barbarians, only one hundred and ten soldiers and horses, plus the original Ding Yong of Shanghe Township and the servants of the Haoqiang family, were enough to quell this piecemeal looting, and insisted on sending troops to Shanghe Township!
In the end, it was agreed: Wang Ba would bring 100 elite soldiers and 200 Han'an troops to help; As the temporary supervisor of this team, Nashi Juro also went to quell the rebellion together.
Originally, Wen Cheng asked Wang Ba to take the remaining fifty elite soldiers away, and quickly exterminate the barbarians there with the momentum of "Lion Bo Rabbit is still full strength", and then immediately return to the division to defend the county seat.
However, Wang Ba did not agree, and insisted on leaving fifty elite soldiers to protect Wen Cheng's safety!
Wen Cheng was also stubborn: "I am so kind and handsome, why do I need so many elite sergeants to escort me?" Quickly calm down the chaos in Shanghe Township, and then hurry back! That's the right thing. ”
Wang Ba's face was not slight: "You are handsome!" When the wolf sees you, you have to kick the ladder. Leave twenty people to guard your safety, lest you see your brother-in-law in the future and talk endlessly in front of a certain family! It's even more annoying to that Li Kun, I want to be an uncle and I want to go crazy! ”
It's over, this king's eyes are not good, I'm so handsome...
~~~~
For several days, Wang Ba sent fast horses to and from the county seat every day to report the progress of the rebellion in Shanghe Township: the tribe that the barbarians came to plunder this time was not large, about three or five hundred people; But it's extremely scattered.
Almost all of them were in groups of twenty or thirty people, scattered and plundered everywhere.
This scale of numbers is not enough to attack Xiangtai; Even the powerful families can only try to attack by converging a few groups of barbarians.
If they can't successfully attack the powerful family, they will quickly flee separately...
One day, Wen Cheng was working on official documents in the public house.
I only heard Master Shi in the "big tent" at the opposite door shouting excitedly:
"Hahaha, Ji Xi! Come on, come on, hurry up and take a look, haha, my family Shilang, out of breath! actually made such a feat! Hahaha, my historian is worthy of being a Han'an family, and he is really talented and lucky! ”
What is Shi Shiro doing, what is he not doing, what is left to eat - this dog-like thing, when eating, the thief is picky eater, and he picks the best bite to eat!
Wherever this goods go, that piece has to be "strong and clear": men and women under the age of forty are all avoided; I'm afraid of this lord who is suitable for all ages, both men and women...
- Just him, and he has made meritorious service?
This time, he went to Shanghe Township with Wang Ba to quell the chaos, but it wasn't that Lieutenant Shi saw that there was no risk, so he deliberately let the shell Lang go to get military merits!
Unexpectedly, this shell man fell into the dung heap, and his luck exploded!
Picked up a military feat:
Wang Ba disliked Shi Shilang as useless and asked him to take care of the horse material. In less than a day, dozens of military horses and mules killed two of them, and the rest screamed from hunger...
asked him to supervise the man's cooking, and after only one day's work, the man's room burned down one and made two meals dull; The fat that was supposed to be used for five days in the barracks was eaten clean in one day!
The soldiers of the whole battalion thought that the Son of Heaven had married three hundred mothers-in-law, and issued a decree: to give food to all the soldiers in the Han world...
Wang Ba really has no way, so let this cargo tube hourglass and incense. It serves as a reference basis for pulling, camping, fighting, eating, and resting in the barracks.
Wang Ba had a good look at the geography of the mountains and rivers in advance, and originally planned to arrive on the fourth watch on the second day, Wang Ba mobilized the whole army to rush to the side of the traffic artery and set up an ambush on a hillside.
I didn't think that the second watch of this goods had just passed, so I said that the time had come!
The sleepy-eyed Wang Ba led the whole battalion of soldiers to rush to the hillside in the dark...
Hundreds of people had just been ambushed, and it was still dim and difficult to see clearly at this time
I never thought wow...
The small leader of the banban, also with about 200 men and horses, hurried to set up an ambush.
He was still holding a torch with a big grin!
The early bird is eaten by the worm, and the early worm is eaten by the bird; I don't know who is a bug and who is a bird... Wang Ba, who had already occupied the high slope, almost couldn't hold back his laughter!
When those banqiao barbarians touched the halfway up the mountain, it was difficult to climb up, escape down, and even more difficult, Wang Ba gave an order, and the whole battalion rushed down...
In the service, dozens of swords and more than 10 bows and crossbows were seized; Fifty-five prisoners; Killed seventy-three barbarians (including more than 20 people who fell to death in the rocks in a panic)
Three hundred and two hundred, "heavy damage to the enemy, almost no casualties...", is a pretty good record.
Pretty!

However, in the military information reported by Wang Ba, there was a piece of information that was easily overlooked, which made Wen Cheng faintly feel that something was wrong: almost everyone in the small tribes of Banyu who came to plunder was equipped with a sword, a spear, and a crossbowman to suppress the formation!
Otherwise, how could there be so many seizures?
How could a small tribe have the strength to equip its people with expensive swords and crossbows?
The people of the barbarian tribe have a habit: not to accumulate wealth.
If you have money in your pocket, you will immediately sell wine and cut meat, and quickly eat and drink it all; If there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, it doesn't matter when it will be closed tomorrow?
This is also the inevitability under the primitive governance system of "tribe + family": as a barbarian, if you work hard, operate hard, and accumulate money;
The big and small leaders in the tribe, the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family, will come to your house to "eat big"!
- It's still the kind that eats justifiably:
Ah Jue, do you still have a lot of bacon at home?
Your fifteenth cousin, but he hasn't tasted oil for three months, like a thin hemp stick!
Even the roundworms pulled out are thinner than the roundworms of other people's babies...
Cut five catties of bacon, let my aunt take it back, let him taste it! If you want to cut some fat, you don't dare to learn from your eleventh cousin and Agui so selfishly, cut all the lean meat for me last time... Taichai, I can't bite my aunt.
- Ah Jue, the kid has a future!
Tonight, the sorcerer came to the village to make sacrifices to the mountain gods; Offer 50 buckets of rice and 3 chickens. Aga is not as rich as you, everyone has sacrificed a pig...
- Ah Jue, the road down the mountain in the stockade slips through and slips as soon as it rains. Master, I'm going to pave all the stone slabs, isn't it beautiful?
Produce three hundred buckets of rice and three pigs; The people who build the road still have to let them eat, we can't treat those poor ghosts badly, ah! ”
"Didn't you just pave the slate last year?"
"Uh, that's not a good color! White wow, not festive! Sir, I'm going to change it to white gray and gray... Hey, my lord, I can repair it if I want to, and I can change it if I want to, whoever is in charge will dismantle and repair it; Who gave you the guts to question Lao Tzu's decision-making?!
Come on, it seems that this ghost is on his body, and he will send it to the wizard to exorcise evil spirits! ”
"Spare your life! Ah Yu is not sensible, I donate 800 buckets of rice and five pigs, is it okay? ”
"Hmph, remember to eat or not, dog meat can't be on the table! Master, I'll spare you this time! ”
- Ah Xuan......
- Ah Xuan......
- Ah Xuan......
“……”
Hurry up and eat all your belongings!
lest you be the wronged boss every day, and because you don't take the initiative enough, don't pay it well enough, and don't pay it fairly enough, you offend the people of the whole village!
…… The tribal governance system without the "private property protection mechanism" makes you dare not accumulate wealth at all!
If you don't even have the motivation to accumulate wealth, who will work hard?
Poor is poor! starve to death; Whoever has money, go to eat his dog in a group! Relatives eat something from relatives, ancestral!
Unalterable principle...
When everyone is poor and can't eat enough to eat, then they have to form a group to go out and grab it!
- Poor people, poor people, it's not a crime, no amount of money can cope with it;
It is also a sin to be industrious and thrifty
It's better to take advantage of the opportunity and eat it...
Oh yes!
