Chapter 757: Temptation

Cui Jiuming always runs to Su Ren's general's mansion these days, and he doesn't care about the time. When Su Ren was eating, Cui Jiuming broke in, sat down and picked up the bowl to eat. When Su Ren was going to the toilet, Cui Jiuming came in and stood at the mouth of the toilet to chat with Su Ren about some salty words. Su Ren knew what Cui Jiuming was for, but Su Ren just ignored him.

The war of Mayi was declared over after five days, and the 200,000 Han troops set up a huge ambush for the Huns. Some people even lamented that with such a big victory, the Huns did not dare to step into the territory of the Han Dynasty for at least ten years. For such words, Su Ren just smiled.

The wolves and the eagles, all of which came out of their horns, were not afraid of people, and stood swaggering on the edge of the mountain of corpses to gnaw. Han Anguo once ordered people to drive him away, but the effect was not good. Animals have simple brains, spend their lives only for that bite to eat, and when they die, they die, and as long as there is food, everything else is floating clouds.

For those corpses, the soldiers actually did not take strict care of them, because they were all the corpses of the Huns. The corpse of the Han army had already been disposed of, and there was no way to bring the body back, so it could only be burned into ashes and put it in the jar, and the name and surname and place of origin were written on the outside, which was regarded as an explanation to the parents and elders of the family. It's better to have these ashes than nothing.

Su Ren participated in the funeral of the fallen soldiers of the Han army, and the big scene of tens of thousands of people, it was absolutely necessary to be there as the commander of one side. It is said that Su Ren also shed tears and loudly announced that whether he was killed or disabled, he would ask the court for a reward. This has never been done before, it is a matter of course to be a soldier to eat food, and to die in battle, no one feels that there is any disadvantage, it is better to have a reward than nothing, at least it can make the wife and children at home live a little better.

The soldiers from Shu County were concentrated under Wei Qing, and Wei Qing was the force to resist the reinforcements, and the hardships of that battle were obvious to all, and there were many more casualties than the siege team. Su Ren, as the former boss of the Shu County generals, naturally wanted to give them higher rewards, and the businessmen led by the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce did not fall behind, and they raised funds to set up a monument for the fallen soldiers of Shu County.

No matter how difficult the corpse is, it is just a matter of a fire that costs some money, and it is even more difficult for those prisoners. The first offender ran away, and the accomplice was treated as the first offender. The kings will be taken to Chang'an to offer prisoners, and the rest of the soldiers will not be easy to arrange. There are a lot of people, and the money and food consumed every day is a bottomless pit. Moreover, the Huns did not fight alone, but from a family. A soldier may be followed by a large group of mothers, wives, and children. The family members of a person are also dealt with.

The report from the imperial court has not yet returned, so this group of people are temporarily locked up in the city of Mayi. Fortunately, there is such a city, otherwise there would be nowhere to find it if you run away from the empty grassland.

Su Ren came out of the thatched house, and Cui Jiuming hurriedly stepped forward to scoop water with a wooden scoop to wash Su Ren's hands. Su Ren looked at Cui Jiuming with a smile, and naturally stretched out his hand under the wooden scoop to enjoy Cui Jiuming's service.

"If you have something, just say, I'm annoyed that you're not tired back and forth!"

Cui Jiuming hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's just boring to come and see you, the war is over, you have made a great contribution this time, and you will definitely be promoted to the rank after you go back, and I will be happy for you." ”

"Are you alright?"

"It's all right!"

"Well, thank you for your kind words, you can go."

Cui Jiuming not only didn't leave, but when Su Ren left, he hurriedly followed. was about to enter Su Ren's handsome account, Cui Jiuming gritted his teeth, took two quick steps, and stopped in front of Su Ren: "Okay, okay, I'll just say, when will the thing you promised me start?" Those guys are driving me to death! There's no news today, and I can't get out of this door. ”

"What?"

"You're still pretending to be confused?" Cui Jiuming jumped up suddenly: "What's the matter?" Things lost after the war? You promised that seizures and military exploits are all money-making businesses, so you shouldn't be fooling us, right? Don't forget, you are not the largest shareholder of this Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and you don't care if you leave it behind, but it is more useful than me, the president, why? It's not that everyone believes you, but if you lie to us this time, I'm afraid you'll ...... in the future."

"Don't scare me with this? You are the president of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, I see that I am not pleasing to the eye, I am fired, I wish I would come out and do it alone! With you dragging you down, do you know how much money I've made less over the years? ”

Cui Jiuming said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it is we who drag you down and delay you to make money, Mr. Su is all for us, this great kindness and great virtue I Cui Jiuming will not forget even if he dies, how about it?" Now can you talk about it? ”

Su Ren shook his head and sighed: "Things were originally very easy to do, but how busy have you been these days?" General Han's captives made me think of a way, General Li and General Cheng have done the same, I have become a general who deals with prisoners full-time, the benefits are occupied by them, and the work that suffers is all mine, that is 50,000 prisoners, if it sounds good, it is a prisoner, and if it is not good, it is 50,000 mouths, do you know how much food you have to eat in a day? ”

"I want to find a way to deal with food, as long as the court gives money, they will definitely not starve to death!"

"Food is easy to do, but what about people? You can't learn to start in vain, can you? That's 50,000 captives, and that's a big head when you count your family. ”

Cui Jiuming thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This, I really can't help it, even if you give me people for nothing, I can't help it, these people don't know how to farm, and they don't understand the rules, not to mention that if I want people, it's really the way to die, or do you want to find a way to be more proper, if you need help, you need someone to say, you want people to have money, this is very interesting, right?" ”

Cui Jiuming has been outside the plug for a year, and his original pig-like body has lost a little, but now it is much more pleasing to the eye when he stands by his side. This guy is becoming more and more like a profiteer, wearing a Shu brocade robe on his body, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, a mouth is money, and his true nature is instantly exposed. Su Ren heard that Cui Jiuming had made contact with the palace in private, which was good! At least this guy hasn't gotten so confused that he doesn't want to die if he earns money.

After teasing Cui Jiuming enough, Su Ren began to get down to business: "Do you really want money and money, and you want people?" ”

Cui Jiuming patted his chest and promised: "Who is my old Cui?" You have been working with me for so long, when did my old Cui say big things in front of you? ”

"In that case, there's something for you to do!"

"Ahh Really? Cui Jiuming was taken aback, and when he saw Su Ren's eyes again, he hurriedly put on a smiling face: "Tell me, it must be done properly." ”

"Find a way to get these people to Jiangsu."

"Jiangsu New Town?" Cui Jiuming looked at Su Ren: "They are herdsmen, not those mountain people in Lingnan, there is water everywhere in Jiangsu, and they can't herd sheep or horses, so let these herdsmen farm?" ”

"Who said let them farm? You just take the people with you, and they will take care of the rest of the things, so can you do it? ”

Cui Jiuming hesitated for a long time: "Okay, yes!" But this is not one or two people, the great migration of tens of thousands of people is not easy to do! ”

Su Ren pointed at Cui Jiuming: "I knew that you would put forward conditions, right?" ”

Cui Jiuming smiled again: "First of all, you have to have an official document from the imperial court, you should be able to do this, and secondly, tens of thousands of people have traveled thousands of miles to eat, drink, and Lazar, but it is all money, there must be soldiers under guardianship, there are no less than 100,000 people, it is not a small amount of money, even if the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce has money, it is not such a flower, if you can't find a way to make up the hole, I really have no way." ”

"Ah, profiteers! Careless dating! You are so good at serving the imperial court, and you still expect the imperial court to give you an official and a half-job? ”

"Stop!" Cui Jiuming abruptly interrupted Su Ren: "What did you just say?" ”

"I said you pushed back."

"It's not this sentence, it's the latter sentence!"

"The latter sentence, oh, say don't expect the imperial court to give you an official position."

Cui Jiuming excitedly grabbed Su Ren's arm: "Is this serious?" ”

"What do you think?"

"Then what official position is the court going to give me? Is it a doctor? Or Langzhong? Or ......"

"Alright! Doctor, Lang Zhong, don't think about it, this matter is actually that you buy an official with money, how big an official can you be? It's just an edict, do it or not, give a happy word! ”

"Dry dry dry ......"

In ancient times, as a merchant, there was nothing but money. Even if you are rich or rich, you must nod your head in front of a small official, and this person doesn't even look at him. This is the state of society, and no one thinks it's strange, and no one thinks there's something wrong with it. The president of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, although he is not a standard president, has a lot of money in the family, but a small edict still makes Cui Jiuming excited.

How big is the edict? Let's put it this way, it's like a civil servant now, but this civil servant is closer to the emperor, as long as the emperor appreciates you, it is still possible to call you and ask a few words. But Cui Jiuming's edict is clear to him, it is purely an honor, not only will the emperor not look for him, but whether he has sent it down or not is two words. However, this did not diminish Cui Jiuming's excitement, no matter how big or small, it showed that their Cui family was also in the house.

Cui Jiuming left happily, and the problem of the prisoners was solved. For Cui Jiuming, Su Ren is still relieved, the biggest advantage of this guy is that he does things well, otherwise he would not have let their Cui family become his partner in the first place.

The battle of Mayi was over, the goal of encircling and annihilating the Huns had been achieved, and everyone in the big tent was happy. Victory is the greatest desire of the soldiers, the days of the Han swallowing their anger for a hundred years are gone, and the rest of the thing is not how to take revenge on the Huns, but what do they want to do with the Huns? Looking at the posture, everyone knows that the imperial court will never let go of the Xiongnu who have been pressed on the head for a hundred years, and if the Xiongnu are not completely cut down and eradicated, this battle is estimated to be over
