Chapter 147: Trust is Rare
The front of the big-headed soldiers shines with great light, because they are heroic, selfless, and have a discipline like steel. The opposite of the big-headed soldiers is dark, because they are greedy, selfish, and have all kinds of careful thoughts, and their desires are the goals they chase.
To sum up, when the big-headed soldiers threw their heads and spilled their blood for the emperor's will, in the battle array, they were also thinking carefully for their own small interests.
It's like a sporadic gain along the way, even if the emperor sees it all in his eyes, he won't say anything, after all, the big-headed soldiers have worked hard to win the war for themselves, and some small rewards, the emperor and his old man still don't look at it.
Therefore, Jia Yi's concerns are actually not necessary at all, there are countless tribes on the vast prairie, and the big-headed soldiers are just inadvertently moving forward, and it is very likely to harvest a lot of materials, including cattle, sheep and horses, of course, including cattle, sheep and horses, the emperor will not ask for all these things to be nationalized, and the biggest possibility is to share the spoils on the spot.
There was no Jia Yi before, these big-headed soldiers just ate some delicious meat, and now with Jia Yi, then as long as they have a little bit of meat left from their mouths, they can exchange for a large amount of copper coins.
"Jia Yi, the law stipulates that the income from fighting on the battlefield belongs to the individual, and if the enemy army is defeated, seventy percent of the enemy's reserves will be handed over to the treasury, and the remaining three components will be with the soldiers, so what you have to consider is not whether we can get cattle, sheep and horses, but how we should get those cattle, sheep and horses from the hands of the soldiers."
Su Dingfang's words made Jia Yi make up his mind, after all, he was a person who had never been a soldier, and he didn't know very much about some things on the battlefield, at least he didn't know that the income from the fight on the battlefield belonged to the individual.
To put it bluntly, if a soldier kills a grazing Turk, then as long as he succeeds in killing the Turk, then the property of the Turk becomes the soldier's, of course, if two or more soldiers complete this act, then the final income will be divided equally. If the general determines the battle policy and perfects the entire battle plan for a certain enemy, then after the soldiers kill the enemy, the enemy's reserves become state assets, and the general has the right to dispose of three of them to the soldiers, and the rest must be handed over to the state treasury.
After figuring out this, Jia Yi knew that his plan to make a fortune on the battlefield would be successfully implemented.
"Brother Su, after all, you and I are both military people, if you collect the soldiers' income so blatantly, it seems that there is something inappropriate, let the general know, although there will be no capital crime, but a crime of looting soldiers will fall 100%, and it will be really not worth it to be beaten at that time."
"This is the crux of the matter, since ancient times, if you want to do business in the battle array, you are the only one, I can only help you when you are doing business, as for how to start this business, you have to figure it out yourself."
It is not very appropriate for Jia Yi to do this business personally, because he is a general, and the main purpose of coming here is to fulfill Li Er's will and defeat the Eastern Turks, not to conduct business contacts on this vast steppe, so the only person who can start Jia Yi's business is a common person, and the only person in the entire army who does not have a military status is only one person, that is Fan Zhou.
"Okay, I'll solve this problem too, whether this business can be realized or not depends on Brother Su's help."
"Okay."
After speaking, Jia Yi arched his hand to Su Dingfang, turned around and ran quickly towards his camp.
Since Jia Yi is on the battlefield for the first time, it is very likely that Jia Yi alone will not be able to pay attention to it in many places, so this is the existence of Fan Zhou, which is the permission that Qin Qiong got after reporting to Li Eryu, but I don't know what kind of expression Qin Qiong will have when Qin Qiong knows that Jia Yi actually used Fan Zhou, who came to him with his personal request, and when Jia Yi made money, I don't know what kind of expression he would have.
Fan Zhou is not very old, he is in his twenties, while his martial arts are extraordinary, it is rare that he can still read and write, Jia Yi just told him his thoughts briefly, and promised a lot of income, Fan Zhou nodded and agreed without any objections, anyway, this business is said to be done by him Fan Zhou, in fact, it is all to be handled by Jia Yi, he is just a start.
Everything is ready, only cattle and horses are owed, and soon there is such a news in the army, the Ranger General's servant Fan Zhou buys cattle and horses, the price is good, and those who wish to come and sell it.
Many soldiers have more or less captured along the way, but because there is really no way to take it, most of them have become food in their stomachs, and now seeing that these cattle and horses can be used to exchange for money, they will eat their own harvests and suddenly hang their heads and shout that they have made mistakes, and those who have not eaten their own cattle and horses are full of ecstasy and take their own captures and run towards Jia Yi's camp.
Because the Qiang tribe mostly grazes for a living, the soldiers got not a few cattle, sheep and horses from them, and soon a lot of cattle, sheep and horses gathered outside the camp of Jia Yi, and of course, there were soldiers who brought these cattle, sheep and horses.
Fan Zhou stood at the front and said loudly to everyone: "Don't squeeze, no matter if you bring cattle, sheep or horses, I will buy them all, of course, the price will make you very satisfied, but everyone can also see that I don't have copper coins on me, but this is not a problem, I can settle the bill for you here and write down the voucher, you can put the voucher on your body, or you can entrust me to take your voucher home, At that time, your relatives in the family can go to the Jia Manor to exchange copper coins with the receipt. ”
"Everyone also knows that I am the guardian of Jia Yijia's family, and it is my lord who is responsible for the authenticity of this transaction, if there is any problem in the exchange, my lord will give you an explanation."
After listening to Fan Zhou's words, the soldiers who were full of joy just now suddenly all hesitated, after all, in the Tang Dynasty, the nobles represented power and status, even if the nobles went back on their word, how could they dare to come to the door to reason, these years all the streets are full of nobles who are ignorant heirs, and they only saw these heirs getting into trouble, but they did not see them punished, the reputation of the nobles in the hearts of these soldiers is really not very high.
Looking at the reaction of these big-headed soldiers, Fan Zhou, who was still proud just now, suddenly crawled with embarrassment, these big-headed soldiers are too faceless, how many people have a deal to do.
In fact, no soldier takes the spoils of war very seriously, after all, they are all things that they have worked hard to get back, and no one will want to be cheap.
For this situation, Jia Yi has long been mentally prepared, trust is a very precious thing at any time, and it is basically impossible to get the trust of others without doing anything, there is no copper money at the moment, so he can only borrow the soldiers' trust in Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang, who saw all this in his eyes, knew that he could only see himself as a horse now, walked up to the soldier, and said with a smile: "I believe everyone has heard of my Su Dingfang's name, my Su Dingfang is willing to guarantee their deal, if they don't give you the copper coin, after you go back, I Su Dingfang will pay the copper money to you." ”
Su Dingfang's words made a small number of soldiers finally let down their guard in their hearts, stepped forward, and handed over the cattle in their hands to Fan Zhou.
It's just that Su Dingfang's credibility really didn't get there, and Fan Zhou only received ten cows and three horses all day, and the rest were all pulled back by the soldiers, it is estimated that there will be many people who will slaughter the cattle and horses for meat tonight, after all, they are not at all trusting Xungui, it is really not a reassuring thing, it is better to eat it in the stomach.
The soldiers in the army are divided into two kinds, one is the regular army, also called the government soldiers, and the other is called the miscellaneous army, also called the auxiliary soldiers, which are called the same words, but they are completely two different types of troops, the government soldiers are the main arms on the battlefield to fight, and the auxiliary soldiers do the most or transport grain and grass, collect materials, and clean up the battlefield.
There are also a lot of auxiliaries in the army, and it happens that there is nothing to do now when he is idle, and he doesn't know when the war will be fought, so Jia Yi used the same method to collect an auxiliary soldier for him to kill cattle, cook meat, dry meat, and soon all the cattle and horses collected became jerky.
There are not many people who can come to sell their cattle and horses every day, scattered and scattered, although they can receive them every day, but they can't be more, it seems that trust is indeed a thing that needs to be carefully cultivated.
The weather changes very quickly, yesterday it was the autumn wind that brought everyone a cool feeling, and today's cold wind made everyone nest in the tent and said that they didn't want to come out again.
The signal of winter's arrival was spread by the strong winds throughout the army, but the production area of the jerky did not seem to be affected in any way, everyone was still in full swing, and a large amount of jerky was quickly formed and properly preserved.
These will turn into a lot of wealth in the near future, whether it is Jia Yi or Su Dingfang, they don't want any accidents in the jerky.
