Mayi is a small city, and there are not many people in the city. Before Su Ren came, there were only 8,000 people in Mayi City, including the old and the young. The arrival of Su Ren made Mayi prosperous, and the good life of the people was only one aspect, and the more far-reaching impact was that a large number of Han people poured in, filling Mayi to the brim, and even silting it out.

Leaving Mayi had been planned for a long time, and for this reason, Yanmen Pass had already prepared a place to accept these people. The long procession came out of the city of Mayi, crossed the river, crossed the grassland, and met the Han army that greeted them ten miles from the city. Although the migration was not long and there was not the slightest danger, none of the people who came with them had a smile on their faces.

It's never a joy to be away from home, even if it's only seventy or eighty miles away. The merchant's pain was in the fact that their goods were still in Mayi, and when the Huns entered the city, who knew if what they had hidden would not be discovered.

Su Ren stood on the city wall of Yanmen Pass, the high city wall was built on the winding mountains, and from the mountain pass, you can see the Mayi City in the distance. The long migratory army is less than the madness and determination of the wildebeest on the African savannah, but more reluctant and helpless.

Han Qing sighed and stuffed his hands into his sleeves: "I hope the Huns don't destroy Mayi, otherwise these people will be homeless!" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "Ruining is actually a good thing, Phoenix Nirvana is the best future for Ma Yi, that place is too small, if the terrain is not suitable for ambush, the battlefield will not be chosen there in the first place!" After the destruction, a great achievement in rebuilding is that in my opinion, Mayi will become the most prosperous city outside the Saiwai in the future, maybe even more prosperous than Jinyang. ”

Han Qing smiled: "Mr. still believes in his ability, then I will wait to see the future of Ma Yi!" ”

The first person completed his own migration route, and under the strict inspection of the soldiers, he was allowed to enter Yanmen Pass after confirming that he was not a spy of the Xiongnu. Although Yanmen Pass is a city, first of all, it is a pass, an important place defended by the Han Dynasty. If the Xiongnu spies were put in, even if Su Ren was deeply favored by the emperor, he did not dare to guarantee that those imperial histories would not impeach him.

In order to minimize the risk, Su Ren made the most severe inspection. First of all, those with weapons are never allowed to enter; The second long-looking Huns are also among the rejections, and the third, all the young and strong are among the doubts. After finishing at three o'clock, Su Ren felt that it was not enough, and there were people who let the people who entered Yanmen Pass live separately, especially the place where the young people lived was next to the barracks.

The Yanmen guard is the deputy general of Li Guang, who met with Su Ren before he was not a general, and received a warning from Li Guang, so he was very active in cooperating with Su Ren. But all the opinions put forward by Su Ren must be strictly implemented, and he will personally check the slightest negligence.

At first, there were a few young men from Mayi who didn't know how high the sky was, and felt that they had not come to suffer from home, but before he could finish his words, a feathered arrow went into the throat of the young descendant. Several of his companions were frightened, and several of them collapsed to the ground. The one who shot the arrow was the Ma Yi guard, looking at those few nests, the guard snorted coldly, and ordered the soldiers next to him that these guys were not allowed to enter the city.

Thinking that the old woman was crying beside her son's corpse, the guard just didn't see it, and passed by the old woman, staring at the others and shouting: "Listen to Lao Tzu, if anyone doesn't listen to the rules, this is the end, originally you were all going to be captured by the Huns, it was General Su who took pity on you and let you take refuge in the city, if you don't know what to do, it's useless for the king of heaven." ”

A pair of dull eyes, a wooden face. Even when they passed by the old woman, they all lowered their heads and no one dared to take a second look.

Compared with the people's acceptance and covering, the businessmen are more comfortable. Cui Jiuming has made it clear that the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce will compensate for the losses suffered this time, of course, this compensation is limited to the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and the other businessmen can only consider themselves unlucky, otherwise you will watch your goods, and no one will care about the life or death of a businessman.

The Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is naturally the most decisive, and after following Su Ren to make money for so many years, the loss in front of them will not make them break their muscles and bones, not to mention that President Cui also said compensation, so there is nothing to worry about. In the little place allocated to them in Yanmen Pass, the businessmen lived the most leisurely. It is forbidden to drink alcohol in the barracks, and it is still okay to eat meat, in order to give Su Ren a long face, dozens of merchants discussed, and the subsequent goods transported from the customs were divided on the spot, and they were also regarded as supporting the Han court themselves.

Cloth was moved out of the warehouse one by one, bags of grain were resisted, and all kinds of jewelry and utensils were dedicated to the Yanmen Pass soldiers. Although it was not much, the open space in front of the main general's mansion caused quite a stir. Su Ren naturally doesn't know how to be greedy for a grain of grain, so he put it there, sent someone to guard it, and has posted a notice, as long as anyone makes a contribution, there will be a share of these things.

The morale of the soldiers at Yanmen Pass suddenly rose to a level, and what they wanted at this time was not that the Huns had enough things to leave quickly, but that they were looking forward to whether those guys could attack Yanmen Pass by the way, so that they could share a little benefit from those things.

Cui Jiuming sat in front of Su Ren's handsome case, and said with a smile while drinking tea: "I listened to you all, this time it was a big loss, if it weren't for your face, I wouldn't be willing to take out so many good things." ”

Su Ren raised his head, rolled his eyes, and shook his head: "You are far worse than your father, I heard that his old man is the first businessman to donate to His Majesty, and His Majesty also personally wrote an inscription for your family, which is called righteousness, in front of the nation and the country, anyone must understand their status, even if you are a businessman." ”

"Hey!" Cui Jiuming sighed: "That being said, do you know that my father has now become the public enemy of Chang'an businessmen!" It was precisely because he was the first to donate to the imperial court that other merchants could not be empty-handed. ”

"That's your father's cleverness, either be the first or not be the one!" Su Ren stood up: "Although Chang'an Shangjia hates your father, what can they do?" From now on, your Cui family can be regarded as an imperial businessman, and with this layer of protection, it will be difficult to suffer within three generations. ”

"We didn't suffer before we donated!"

Su Ren smiled and sent two strokes on Cui Jiuming's shoulder: "I'll tell you one more thing, pigs can never grow too fat, otherwise there will only be one way left to eat meat!" Your father not only solved the crisis for your Cui family, but also solved the crisis for the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, remember, as long as there is a war in the future, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce will vigorously support it, what does the court need to give, understand? ”

Cui Jiuming frowned: "You mean, even you can't guarantee the safety of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Su Ren nodded slightly: "This time, His Majesty has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and there is no trace of opposition in the court, which means that His Majesty has really controlled the imperial court, and I am afraid that I will stay in the court forever when I go back this time, so the affairs of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce can only be handled by yourself." ”

"Isn't that better, what are you worried about?"

Looking at Cui Jiu's stupid appearance, Su Renzhen didn't know what to say, and sighed and said: "No emperor would want to see someone among the courtiers who can control the fate of this country, and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is going too fast." ”

The people from Mayi were strictly confined to their own areas, and there were special people who brought water and food every day, and the only unpleasant thing was that they could not move around casually. After a few more unbelievers were killed, the others finally came to their senses. Eating and drinking enough is what the people look forward to the most, and now that there is such a good thing, why risk your own life.

Looking at the groups of soldiers passing by their camp, these people knew that war could break out at any time, and it was a kind of happiness to be able to hide in Yanmen Pass. At the beginning, even if the Huns killed them at their doorstep, no one would be willing to give them a place to take refuge, but now it is much better than in the past, as long as they sew and mend for the soldiers, they can have a full stomach, and there is nothing to complain about.

I heard that there was a war in the north, but I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that there were a lot of people from the Huns this time, so I began to worry about whether the Yanmen Pass could be guarded. Too many people gathered together, and naturally there will be various rumors, some say that the Yanmen Pass has been rebuilt, and it will definitely be able to block the attack of the Huns; Some people also said that the Huns came to Yanmen Pass, and all kinds of rumors spread in Yanmen Pass in just a few days.

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Su Ren smiled: "Since they are idle and rumors, then find them some work, the watchtower in the west is still under construction, let them go to help build it, you can't just eat and not work." ”

The guard smiled: "In that case, let's even clean up the roads everywhere, so that we don't have to do it ourselves in the future!" ”

Su Ren said: "You are in charge, but you have to send someone to watch over them, who knows if there are any Hun spies in this." ”

When it was dawn the next day, the people from Ma Yi did not wait for the soldiers who came to push the cart to deliver the meal, and just when everyone was looking forward to it, the guard came to the people's camp with a helmet and armor, and announced the order of the main general Su Ren. Some people were unwilling, but when they saw the murderous soldiers, they swallowed back the words to their mouths. Some people feel that it is natural that there is no good thing in this world that you can eat without working.

The ant-like people were driven to work, the men went to help build the watchtowers, the women were in charge of cooking and laundry, and the sound of knocking stones was heard again at Yanmen Pass, which had been stopped because of the war. At the same time, the wolf smoke from the north had also arrived, and the Xiongnu army had captured Mayi
