Chapter 108: The Ministers Have Some Thoughts (Debt Repayment 8/34)

Yang Shaofeng was very bored and watched the entire process of the White Horse Oath, which is basically similar to the plot in those film and television dramas.

A good white horse was bled out, and a few arrows of wolf teeth that had been managed to get out were broken, and then Arutai and Mahamu, as well as Taiping and Vulture Polo, swore that they would keep their oath, or else they would do anything.

No one cares about Hakuba's feelings.

Almost everyone cares about one thing.

benefits, including but not limited to silver.

For the three brothers Arutai and Mahamu, as well as those tribal leaders, all bullshit oaths are just that, and how to reap the benefits of labor policies is true.

After all, you are crazy and want labor, and we support it so strongly, are you embarrassed not to increase the share of salt, tea, and iron by a little bit?

Not to mention that in addition to these things, there are also real wages - Yang Shaofeng directly settled accounts with the three brothers Arutai and Mahamu and these tribal leaders, and then they went to settle with the herdsmen, and Yang Shaofeng never asked how much handling fees or intermediary fees were deducted in the middle.

Then Yang Shaofeng watched as the entire border city turned into a huge construction site, and groups of herdsmen gathered here from different directions, and then began to lay the foundation and build the city under the leadership of the Han master.

In order to ensure that these laborers can finish the work on the construction site well, Yang Shaofeng can also be said to have a heavy hemorrhage, not only has a soup made of big bones at every meal, but even the salt used is the normal kind of large grain salt, the kind that is not mixed with anything.

In addition to the border city, brick kilns, cement kilns, and steel-making furnaces have also been erected, constantly producing various materials, in addition to supplying the construction site, there is also a part of the remaining production capacity is pulled to the Great Wall to be resold.

It's all about the money.

There was no way, the head of the household department Xia Lao said to give 100,000 taels, but in the end, he really only gave 100,000 taels, and he didn't even give more copper plates.

100,000 young and strong, a person is calculated according to the salary of fifteen wen a day, and one tael of silver is only a thousand wen, how many days can it last? And how long will it take for the border city to expand into a giant city like Luoyang and Chang'an?

In desperation, Yang Shaofeng had to come up with the idea of building a city while making money while reselling things.

If it weren't for the damn border city being located outside the Great Wall, and being surrounded by Mai Duo's grandson again, Yang Shaofeng even wanted to develop the real estate business of the border city.

……

Zhu Gaoxu, who only felt that his throat was already burning and uncomfortable, licked his lips, barely got a little moist feeling through his saliva, and then pulled out his saber and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Follow Lao Tzu!" ”

After chasing after several days of hard work, Zhu Gaoxu finally caught up with the tail of Mai Duo and the others - and at this time, Mai Duo had already surrounded Ma Heimu and other envoys from Turpan, planning to slaughter Ma Heimu and others first, and then blame Daming.

The shock and sand brought by the cavalry charge of 30,000 elite cavalry, plus 3,000 Tatar cavalry and 3,000 watt cavalry, directly made the entire sky darkened by three points.

Liu Shaochong looked up at the dust and sand raised in the distance, and sighed helplessly: "Run, it is estimated that the cavalry of the Ming army is chasing after you, and this time it is a fucking failure!" ”

Mai Duo had a gloomy face, staring at the Turpan Mission and the hundreds of guards who were about to finish, snorted coldly, stared at Liu Shaochong and said, "This is your so-called plan?" Failure after failure? ”

Liu Shaochong snorted and said: "If it weren't for the fact that you had to lead the army to find the so-called water source, if we had traveled all the way, it is estimated that we would have slaughtered them long ago and fled away!" ”

Mai Duo, who was unwilling, snorted hatefully and said, "Then you won't leave, just do it with them here!" If you can't kill that Yang madness, can't you kill a Turpan mission? ”

Liu Shaochong glanced at the beads of his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Then you see if you are ruthless enough." ”

Pointing to the embassy guard cavalry and the Maiduo cavalry that had been entangled together, Liu Shaochong smiled fiercely: "Now it only takes a rain of arrows to cover the past, and these Turpan missions will be dead, and then we can go." ”

Mai Duo snorted and said, "What's the use of that? We simply don't have time to pack up our arrows, and those people in Turpan are not stupid, can't they see it? ”

Liu Shaochong, who was vicious enough but didn't understand military affairs, was stunned for a moment, simply turned his horse's head to himself, and sneered: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood."

Since it's useless to kill them, then hurry up, otherwise you will wait to be caught up by the Ming cavalry, and then drag you to death with a war horse. ”

Although he didn't want to admit it, Mai Duo also knew that Liu Shaochong was telling the truth, so he had to order with a gloomy face: "Blow the horn and retreat!" ”

The whining sound of the horn spread far away to the battlefield, and the hundreds of Maiduo cavalry who had been strangled with the cavalry of the Turpan mission were stunned for a moment, and then they shouted and withdrew from the battlefield, following the direction of the horn and running away.

By the time Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the battlefield, Mai Duo's troops had already fled some distance, leaving only the sand and dust rising and falling slowly in the distance, which could prove that Mai Duo had successfully escaped again.

Zhu Gaoxu, who arrived in a hurry, looked at the wretched corpses and the Turpan mission that had escaped death, and couldn't help but snort, and ordered to the deputy general Bi Rong: "Chase!" ”

Bi Rong shook his head and said, "There's no way to chase it." Now it is about to reach the boundary of Turpan, once it has passed the Golden Mountain, it is Yili Li, and further west is the Western Regions. His Royal Highness brought a full 30,000 elite horsemen, and if he accidentally provoked a dispute at that time, he was afraid that Mai Duo and Liu Shaochong would secretly laugh at the gelding. ”

Zhu Gaoxu snorted, and then said a little unwillingly: "Then watch them run away?" My mother, Lao Tzu has been chasing for so long, but I can't imagine that I just saved so many missions, but I couldn't slaughter those two bastards! ”

Bi Rong's eyes rolled, he laughed, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, isn't this just right?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said impatiently: "If you have something to say, let it go, let it go, learn less from those poor and sour measures, you think you are crazy, people are the champion of the six heads, you are a hill eight!" ”

Bi Rong said with a smile: "Of course I don't dare to compare with the champion prince, but compared with Liu Shaocong's dog thief, the humble position is much stronger." ”

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was silent, Bi Rong, who was bored with the boss, continued: "Since we can't catch up, let them run."

They felt that they would not dare to run to those places in Turpan and Yili Territory, unless they were tired of living. ”

Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said: "Nonsense, they are cavalry, this place is already located in the desert, they are fighting with the natives here, and they don't occupy the right time and place, aren't they looking for death." ”

Bi Rong said with a smile: "So, they must flee to the west of the Western Regions, it is said that there are many small countries over there, and the troops are not strong, and these thousands of cavalry in Mai Duo's hands alone are enough to run amok."

Let's just watch, when they turn the world upside down, and it is best to provoke the anger of the heavens and people, let's hang the people again, isn't it beautiful? ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he suddenly glanced at Bi Rong unexpectedly, and said with a smile: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, you still have this kind of ghost idea?" But have you thought about it, what if they don't stop and then go west? ”

Bi Rong doubted: "Still going west? I don't know about the things going west, but even if they want to go, these countries in the middle will let them go? Don't you still have to fight first? Waiting for the real fire, it is estimated that Mai Duo and Liu Shaochong, the eunuchs, will not think about going west again, and will not make a wedding dress for our Daming when the time comes? ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction, and was about to praise Bi Rong a few words, but when he saw that Ma Heimu and the Turpan delegation had already rushed in his direction, he had to pat Bi Rong's shoulder and said with a smile: "You think about it carefully, and when you go back, the king will take some time to study and study." ”

After praising Bi Rong, Zhu Gaoxu greeted Ma Heimu and the others, and after accepting the thanks of Ma Heimu and the others, Zhu Gaoxu put on a suspicious look and said, "What's the matter with you?" How did you provoke Maiduo? Of course, it is also possible that you have been implicated by this king. ”

Ma Heimu said with a confused face: "Is that group of people called Mai Duo?" However, the subordinates didn't know what was going on, and they were about to return to Turpan, but they were intercepted and killed by that group, and they didn't know what His Highness said was implicated? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Mai Duo offended Daring, and offended Tatar and Warat, now there is no place for him on the grassland, this king led troops to come, just to hunt down and kill Mai Duo."

It is estimated that this group of people saw that your mission was going to return to China, so they planned to kill you so that they could frame the blame for Daming? ”

Ma Heimu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, you can't say that, Mai Duo was convicted of Daming, but he killed himself, and the reason why he intercepted and killed us is probably not to plant stolen money, but to kill people and seize treasures." ”

Pointing to the team of missions behind him, Ma Heimu had a sad look on his face: "The subordinates suffered this catastrophe and lost a lot of treasures, and they don't know how to explain to the lord of the country, life, life!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu also accompanied Ma Heimu and sighed, and then spoke: "In this case, it is better to repair a letter from this king, and you can bring it back to your lord, which can be regarded as an explanation, how about it?" ”

After thanking Zhu Gaoxu first, Ma Heimu then asked, "I don't know what Your Highness plans to do next?" Do you continue to hunt down Namador? ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "Since he has fled here, it is also the will of heaven, this king might as well return to his teacher and talk about it later." ”

Ma Heimu's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "The subordinate has some ideas, I don't know?" ”
