"I heard that you are going to Qiangdi to do business, can you tell me why?" Tai Shouwen Party and all the officials were all sitting, and Su Ren felt like he was being interviewed. Wen Dang put down the teacup: "Young people love to do things, it is a good thing to be motivated, but it is not an adventure, do you know how difficult it is to get from Chengdu to Qiangdi?" ”

"It is said that to climb two mountains, wade through several rivers, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards are as many as cattle hair, bandits are rampant, there is no road in between, the slightest carelessness is death and no place to be buried, even if you are lucky to survive, you will take off a layer of skin."

"So you know? And you're going to send someone else? Don't you know that these businessmen have wives and children, and if one person dies, my Han family will be finished! ”

"The subordinates want to go on a trip in person, and they must open up a road out of this forest to lay a solid foundation for the future trade routes!"

"What? You're going to go in person? The Wen Party and everyone were amazed.

The common things and long history on the side widened their eyes, and Hawking and Huang Shisan felt incredible.

"The subordinates have already thought about it, if they don't go by themselves, they will not be sure about this trade route, although there are also private businessmen who have been there, one is that the number of people is too small, and the other is that the places where these people have passed are secrets, and they will never be willing to take it out, and the subordinates will not only open up this trade road this time, but also build the road while walking, and be sure to connect Qiangdi with my Han."

"My subordinates have made a plan, and where they go, they will build a temporary resting place every ten miles, and store some food and firewood, just like our post station, so that we can ensure the safety of merchants who enter the Qiang land in the future, and this trade route can be truly opened up."

"Hiss......" Wen Dang gasped: "It seems that you have long been tempted by the trade route of Qiangdi?" ”

"Don't hide too much, when I was in warm water, I had a plan, the land in the world is opened up, I think I have been in China for thousands of years, the original place of residence is only near Weishui, after generations of efforts, to my Han Dynasty only has thirteen states in the world, only those who dare to open up, is a good son of China! For the Han people, how can they stick to their homeland, only by opening up the territory is the foundation of their lives, and only by making my Han country long! ”

Wen Dang nodded: "The old man has lived for more than 70 years, but I didn't expect it to be as good as your teenage doll, since this is the case, let's say, what can the old man help you?" ”

When Su Ren heard this, his goal had been achieved. hurriedly saluted the Wen Party: "Too righteous, the world admires, there is really something to help Taishou!" ”

Wen Dang smiled and said to everyone: "See, this is the original face of the kid, with such ambition as you, even if I want to be in this position, what does it matter if I give it up?" ”

"It's too joking, for now I'm recruiting merchants, gathering guards, and it will be ready in a few months, but there is only one thing that is more difficult to do! As you all know, if you don't have a good guide, the kid can't guarantee that he will come back alive. ”

Everyone nodded. Su Ren continued: "My subordinates heard that there are servants in southern Sichuan, women are good at farming, men are good at fishing and hunting, these people live in barren mountains and mountains all the year round, and they are more familiar with the mountains than us. ”

"No! Never! Changshi suddenly objected loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ahem!" Changshi cleared his throat: "The servants are barbaric, extremely difficult to tame, we have sent people to contact before, these servants not only killed the messenger but also attacked the villages around my Shu County, how can such barbaric and ferocious people become the people of my Han Dynasty?" ”

Wen Dang did not speak, bowed his head and pondered.

Chang Shi sighed, and suddenly led the topic to another matter: "I don't know if Captain Tang has any news?" ”

Bing Cao hurriedly got up: "According to the military report a few days ago, our army has been victorious, and the rebellion in many places has been quelled. ”

"Oh!" Chang Shi nodded and stopped talking.

Su Ren had also heard about the rebellion of the servants, the murder and arson, and the suppression of the troops sent by Shu County, but he didn't know what the battle was like. This time, I took the initiative to talk about it, just to give Su Ren a wake-up call.

Changshi snorted coldly: "These servants should be killed, the men are full of food all day long, but the women work hard, and the savings accumulated over the years are only used to put their coffins on the cliffs, and make their places ghostly, they are really ominous people, if you use these people I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to my Han people, please think twice." ”

Changshi's surname is Mengmingji, and it is rumored that he is a descendant of the Qin general Meng Tian. It's just that I don't know how the Meng family in the north of the garrison ended up in Shuzhong. Over the years, the Meng family has become a big family in Shuzhong, and many of them have children as officials, and many people have taken business as their business. Three percent of the shops in Shuzhong are owned by the Meng family.

Su Ren smiled coldly: "Meng Changshi is afraid that the opening of my Qiangdi trade route will affect the business of the Meng family, right?" ”

"You! Hum! Meng Ji flicked the sleeves of his robe and sat back in his seat angrily.

Wen Dang shook his head: "This servant is indeed stubborn and difficult to cure, and has repeatedly violated my border, the imperial court has issued a strict order to exterminate, but he has lived in the mountains for a long time, the soldiers are here, they hide in the mountains, the soldiers are gone, and the comeback is a disaster, if someone can persuade them to submit to my Han, it is also a good thing, but it is a pity that our people were either driven away or slaughtered, so Tang Duwei was sent to exterminate them." ”

"The subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to persuade them in the territory of the servants!" Su Ren's face was calm, but the words he said surprised everyone again.

Especially for ordinary things, his eyes widened even more, with an expression of disbelief: "Su Shipeng, these servants like to kill, and they are cunning and suspicious, you can think about it, you are young and talented, if you are ......"

Meng Ji smiled slightly: "Su Shipeng, this is too guarded by the yamen, and you can't talk nonsense in the face of the guard, they are all Han officials, and if you say it, you will be responsible!" ”

Su Ren nodded, and made a circle to everyone: "Thank you for Changshi, don't drive the reminder, my subordinates are willing to make a military order!" ”

"Su Shi Peng!" Chang Shi hurriedly got up and stopped Su Ren: "This matter is not a joke!" ”

Su Ren smiled at the usual things, and then saluted the Wen Party: "When the subordinates go here, they must persuade the servants to submit to the Han, if not, come and see you!" ”

"Good! Come on, pen and ink waiting! "Don't wait for the Wen Party to speak, Meng Ji smiled and asked people to prepare things.

Someone put pen and ink on the case.

What else to say about common things was stopped by the Wen Party with his eyes. There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Su Ren. Su Ren picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Meng Ji: "Meng Changshi, if this matter is successful, what do you say?" ”

Meng Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What if Su Shipeng can persuade those servants to return to the Han Dynasty, and make a wish to dedicate all the businesses of the Meng family to the imperial court and open up trade routes for Su County?" ”

"Good!" Su Ren no longer hesitated, picked up the brush and brushed a little bit, and worked hard to write on the slip.

After a cup of tea, Su Ren finished writing the last stroke, and came to Meng Ji with a slip: "Please take a look at Meng Changshi, if you have no doubts, please sign it, this matter will be guaranteed by Lord Taishou, and the bet between the two of us will be completed!" ”

Wen Dang almost laughed. Originally, Meng Ji forced Su Ren into a corner and asked Su Ren to write a military order. Unexpectedly, what was written was a bet, although the bet was a bit big, seeing Su Ren's confident appearance, the Wen Party was uncomfortable for Meng Ji.

After waiting for Meng Ji's signature, Wen Dang signed his name without looking at it, and turned back to Chang Shi: "Don't drive often, you keep this book properly, and when Su City is triumphant, it will be very useful!" ”

Out of the Taishou Mansion, Su Ren turned over and walked home.

Hawking glanced back and asked Su Rendao, "Big brother, are we really going to the land?" Although I haven't been there, I've heard that those servants live in caves, eat raw meat, kill living people, have an abominable face, and can communicate with powerful ghosts, and hang their coffins on the cliff with the help of ghosts and gods. ”

Huang Shisan laughed: "Our little overlord of warm water actually has times when he is afraid, it is a surrender and not a war, with my brother here, he will definitely protect you!" ”

"Who's afraid! I'm just talking to my eldest brother. ”

Su Ren said: "Those things of the servants are just their customs, in fact, just like us, they have to eat when they are hungry, they have to sleep when they are sleepy, and the hanging coffin is just to make the soul closer to their gods, not a big deal." ”

"Moreover, the servants like to farm, and there are few people in my Shuzhong, so it is also a good thing to absorb the servants into it, which not only solves their livelihood, but also helps us to do business, killing two birds with one stone, and everyone is benefited."

"Hahaha......!" Huang Shisan laughed loudly: "It's ridiculous that Meng Changshi was teased by Mr. once and took away his family's property, and he didn't know it, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Su Ren glanced at Huang Shisan with interest: "I didn't expect you to see it, it seems that I haven't done a good job." ”

"Ahh It turns out that the eldest brother is talking about servants, but for the Meng family's property? ”

"Hey!" Su Ren sighed and said to Hawking: "You've been following me for almost a year, and you're still not motivated, what will you do in the future?" ”

Back home. Cui Jiuming hadn't left yet, waiting for the news that Su Ren had brought back from the Taishou Mansion. Seeing Su Ren enter the door, Cui Jiuming and Sima Xiangru hurriedly greeted him, with an eager face.

"What is Taishou looking for you?"

"It's still about our Qiangdi trade route, Taishou is not very optimistic, and asked me some questions."

"I'm right! This matter must be considered in the long run, not in a hurry! ”

The two let Su Ren into the house, Hawking served tea to everyone again, and several people sat down.

Su Ren said: "Taishou is really not very optimistic, I also think that this matter has to be slowed down, although our chamber of commerce has grown a lot, in fact, there is not even half of the merchants in Chengdu, I made a bet with Meng Changshi in Taishou Mansion, if successful, all the businesses of the Meng family will be collected by the imperial court, and then our chamber of commerce will be able to grow." ”

"Ahh You're talking about Monji? Cui Jiuming's heart was about to jump out: "This is the largest merchant in Shu, accounting for more than one-third of the business in Shu, what bet did you make with him?" ”
