Chapter Seventy-Eight: Changes in the Grasslands (2)

Although Pajaqili was a little reluctant to use the golden helmet, even his wife thought that Hu Gao was right, so he had to make a gesture: "Okay, you all come out with Ben Khan, and immediately gather everyone over and tell the people that if anyone carries a barrel of fiery wine to the river, Ben Khan will not only reward him with a golden helmet, but also reward him with 1,000 sheep and 500 cattle!" ”

All the people praised the Great Khan for his wisdom and followed Pajachili out of the account to spread the news to the people. The people just smiled, and looked around at the barrel of fiery wine, but no one went to carry it. There are also those who want to try, but the family immediately stops: "The Great Khan is for show, if you really go to move, what will the Great Khan do when the time comes, aren't you looking for death?" ”

Some people also whispered: "The Great Khan took my prey a few days ago and didn't give me a reward, how can such a stingy Great Khan be so generous?" It's all a lie to us, it's just a show of being generous."

The fire wine was placed outside the tent and a few soldiers were sent to guard it, and the people went on to discuss the matter.

Hu Gao looked at the generals: "Everyone must know that if we always play our own ideas, we will always be subject to the Central Plains people." I know you will say that we have to rely on the market built by the people of the Central Plains, and we must go to them to trade. So I found three people to solve this problem for us", and as he spoke, he asked the three Central Plains people who had followed him earlier to sit down.

These three people, an old man, a strong man and a woman, the old one wears a big round hat, carries a big box behind him, and a bitter smell wafts on his body, and the young and strong mantle is also carrying the box, holding a compass in his hand, his eyes are closed, and the woman's red dress is looming with skin on her body and the fragrance has been exuding on her body.

Hu Gao then told everyone about his own methods: "The people of the Central Plains can build a market, and so can we, and with this high god doctor Niu Banxian Yu Beauty, our market will definitely surpass them." However, this matter needs the help of the Great Khan and you, first we have to build a small city thirty miles opposite the monolith fort, and build all the warehouses of the medical hall, the hexagram hall, the inn, the green building, and the warehouse, everyone just need to send people, and I have already looked for craftsmen."

Ju Wuzhi and some generals saw the number of guests in these places in Xiangguo, and they immediately understood: "What the national teacher said, we have also thought about it, but we always feel that we can't do it, if these places are available, they will have to come to us."

"Yes, yes, there is no medical hall in Monolith Castle right now"

"There is no green building in the monolith castle, let's build a green building, where can we find a woman? You can't just have this beauty."

The poppy sneered, and Hu Gao glared at the man: "Idiot, so many homeless people in the Central Plains don't have to eat, let's just go buy hundreds of them!" ”

Hu Lu coughed, Hu Gao turned his head and continued: "It's just one more step, we need to release the news, and this news must first be brought back by the herdsmen and hunters who often cross the border to come to us, so we have to prepare some belongings for them, and we must let them enter our place to play first, and then let them bring people to treat diseases and do business."

Ju Wuzhi objected: "These people are all poor, even if we pay them to play once, we can't pay back the money a second time, right?" ”

Hu Gao smiled: "You don't understand this, the poorer people suddenly enjoy these things that they can't usually enjoy, the more they love to show off, and it reaches the ears of those rich Liang Jun in the monolith fort, and those Liang Jun will naturally feel that their group of rich people have not been able to live this life, but let the poor enjoy it first, do you guess they will fight to come, and once the rich people join it, the tide will definitely rise, and then we will earn how we want to earn!" ”

When the generals heard that they could make a fortune and make money, their eyes widened: "Such a good idea, why did the national teacher say it now, what did he do earlier?"

"National teacher, without further ado, hurry up and say how many people you want, I will give three thousand!"

"Hey, don't you say that there are only 2,000 troops every time you send troops? Why is it three thousand now? ”

"I'll give out 5,000 people!"

Hu Gao scolded again: "Enough, let's build this market, not only to make money, the important role of our medical hall inn Qinglou is to help us find out intelligence to buy Liang Jun, and the warehouse is for us to attack the Central Plains in the future. By the way, the Great Khan still has to hand over his goldsmith shop and blacksmith shop and move to the new city, so that he can recruit more craftsmen from the Central Plains."

"I'll take 5,000 soldiers to guard this new city!"

"I'll take six thousand people with the right lieutenant!"

"I'll take eight thousand people with Captain Zuo!"

"Ben Khan personally guarded it!"

Hu Gao was speechless, as soon as he heard that there was money to be made, he revealed his true nature, Hu Gao looked at them: "Great Khan, princes and generals, what we are going to talk about next is this matter of leading troops." Everyone is not convinced by each other, they all want to eat meat, no one wants to gnaw bones, such an army cannot win a battle at all! From now on, you have to separate your troops from the soldiers, I know that all the people on the grassland are soldiers, but there are not too many soldiers, as long as they are powerful and can fight. From now on, the generals selected soldiers who could draw a twelve-stone bow and carry a barrel of fiery wine on their backs and travel sixty miles in a day, and all those who did not meet this standard were grazed in the grasslands. Such soldiers are selected again every three years, first, to wait for the teenagers to grow up, and secondly, some people can have three years to practice. The selected soldiers will be uniformly distributed by the royal court with military flags, weapons and armor, and will be rewarded with three times the amount of ordinary people's meat, milk and wine and other materials every month, so that we may not be able to select many people, but all of them are elites, and one can fight ten or even twenty! ”

When the generals heard this, they were busy counting their own people, and when they thought that more people could stay and trade for their own cattle, and that all the military supplies would be in charge of the royal court, they were all very happy, and they all agreed.

After Hu Gao and others agreed impassionedly, the conversation changed: "The newly selected soldiers are personally assigned to the generals by the Great Khan, and the generals are rotated once every two years. ”

Everyone was about to refute at first, but Pajaqili spoke first: "The national teacher has a good idea, let everyone be familiar with this elite army, in the future, if any of them encounters an accident, the other generals can continue to command immediately, and there will be no situation where the generals will disperse as soon as the general dies!" ”

When everyone saw that no one could eat alone, they were relieved and agreed unanimously.

After everyone finished discussing and came out of the big tent, no one came to move the fire wine, Hu Gao looked at Pajaqili: "Great Khan, you personally rode a horse and took everyone to inform the people, only if you show sincerity, will the people believe."

Pajaqili originally planned to wait for no one to carry the fire wine so that he could keep the golden helmet and the cattle and sheep, but Hu Gao had no choice but to ask: "Then when will this fire wine be put in?" ”

Hu Lu pointed to the sky: "Even if the sun dries this fiery wine, it must be placed here, and the people in the royal court do not believe it, so let's tell everyone on the grassland that I believe that there will always be someone who will establish the prestige and integrity of the Great Khan!" ”

His wife said so, and Pajachili couldn't say any more, so he had to go and tell everyone in person. But after a few days, the side of the strong wine was full of flies, and it smelled sour, and no one came to pick it up.

At last a herdsman from the east came, and when he heard about this, the people did not dissuade him because they did not know him, so they stupidly ran to carry the fire wine and went to the river, and the soldiers and civilians of the royal court surrounded him and moved with him.

Everyone sighed, the excitement was not seen, so they dispersed together, at this time two children ran out of the crowd and carried the fire wine to the river, the adults of the two families were blocked by the crowd, did not see it for a while, and when the crowd watched again, the two children had already carried most of the barrel of fire wine to the river.

Everyone shouted: "Golden helmet, golden helmet, the golden helmet of the Great Khan is going to be divided!" ”

"Look at these two silly boys in vain"

"It's really a daydream, I think this golden helmet can fall from the sky"

The shouting outside shook the sky, and the people of Pajachili Hu Gao who were drinking in the tent also heard it, and Hu Gao glanced at Pajachili: "Great Khan, now is the time for you to fulfill your promise"

Pajachili tried to say something, but was pulled out by Kulu and walked towards the river.

The Great Khan really arrived at the river, taking Kedun and the national division and a group of generals, everyone wanted to see how the always stingy Great Khan ended, and the crowd whispered constantly, and many words of ridicule for the Great Khan were heard by Pajachili.

Pajachili blushed and slowly took off the golden helmet, and was about to say a few words, but was snatched away by the boy, Pajaqili had to immediately smile and said: "This is the reward you deserve, this Great Khan from today onwards, words and deeds will be done, rewards and punishments are clear, please all the people, soldiers and generals are a witness!" ”

The people did not immediately respond to the Great Khan's words, but all pointed to the girl who was carrying the fiery wine together: "There is also a golden helmet without a reward, Great Khan!" ”

"The Great Khan does what he says!"

"The Great Khan has clear rewards and punishments!"

"The Great Khan is the most honest man!"

Now Pajaqili couldn't cry or laugh, the girl had already stretched out her hand, but it was too late for her to make another golden helmet just now. At this time, Kedun Hulu took off his three golden hairpins: "People, I have three golden hairpins here, and I will first reward this little girl with a golden helmet instead of a golden helmet, and then give it to her when we make another golden helmet, what do you think?" ”

Kedun Hulu has always been kind to the people, and when the people saw that Kedun had taken out his three golden hairpins, they were no longer embarrassed by Pajaqili: "Well, Kedun and the Great Khan are honest men, and Kedun and the Khan have really kept their promises, and we will believe everything Kedun and the Khan say from now on!" ”

Several people arranged by Hu Gao also shouted in the crowd, Long live the Khan, the Khan is wise, and for a time everyone became the people who actively supported Pajaqili.
