Su Jian, a native of Jingzhao Duling. General of the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu successively served as a school captain, a guerrilla general, and a right general. In the second year of Yuan Shuo (127 B.C.), Su Jian attacked the Xiongnu in the north with the general Wei Qing with the chariot cavalry, recovered the area around the Hetao south of the Yellow River, and sealed the Marquis of Pingling with military merits.

The Western Han Dynasty set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County in this area, and 100,000 people migrated from the eastern part of the country to reclaim Shuofang and build Shuofang City. Su Jian presided over the construction of Shuofang City and was promoted to the rank of Captain.

In the fifth year (124 BC) and the sixth year (123 BC), Su Jian successively attacked the Xiongnu with the great general Wei Qing as a guerrilla general and a right general.

In a battle, Su Jian and Zhao Xin led more than 3,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of cavalry of the Huns to meet, after a day of fierce fighting, finally because of being outnumbered and annihilated, Su Jian fled alone, according to military law should be beheaded, ransomed as a concubine. Later, he served as the Taishou of the county and died in office.

The Su family is after Su Pingling, and Su Jian is afraid that not many people will know about this person in later generations, but when it comes to his son, he is famous.

Su Jian had three sons, the eldest son, Su Jia, and the official to Fengche Duwei. In 151 BC, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty named Su Jia the Marquis of Jiangyang. When Su Jia was the captain of Fengche, he followed the emperor to Yongqiyang Palace, helped the emperor's car to drive down the steps of the palace, touched the pillar, broke the wheel, and was condemned as a great crime of disrespect, and committed suicide with a sword.

The second son, Su Wu, is an official to Zhonglang General, and one of the eleven heroes of the Qilin Pavilion.

Emperor Wu was Lang. In the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty (100 years ago), he was ordered to send the Xiongnu to the Zhonglang General and was detained. The Xiongnu nobles repeatedly threatened and lured them to surrender; Later, he moved him to the North Sea to shepherd sheep, and threatened to release him only if the ram had a son. Su Wu went through hardships and stayed in the Xiongnu for 19 years and remained unyielding.

It was not until the sixth year of the first century (81 BC) that he was released and returned to Han. After Su Wu's death, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty listed him as one of the eleven heroes of the Qilin Pavilion, highlighting his integrity.

The third son, Su Xian, is an official to the captain of the cavalry, and the Su family is the queen of Su Xian.

This is the origin of the Su family, although the ancestor is famous, but it is useless, Su Wu's son Su Yuan was killed by Huo Guang for participating in the Shangguan rebellion.

The Su family has since sunk, and it has only been a hundred years since the Wuyuan Su family re-emerged as a small family in the border area, so this ancestor of the bull did not leave anything worth remembering for future generations.

It stands to reason that Su Jian passed down so peacefully, no matter what the Su family says, it will not be bad, but if you participate in the rebellion, you can't do it if you don't want to perish, and it is not easy to keep the incense.

However, the Su family is not the descendant of the Su family, the real Su Jianyan is Su Zhang, the Jizhou Assassin Shi during the Shun Emperor period, this person later did the history of the Bingzhou Assassin, the official reputation is outstanding, and he has passed away.

Su Zhang is a Fufeng person, but also the origin of the Fufeng Su family, his descendants now live in Zhao County, the most famous name in the family is Su Ze, this person is one or two years younger than him, this Su is Su Chen is the ancestor of the descendants of the Su family, so he knows this person.

Su Ze, a literary teacher, a martial arts man. Less famous for his academic conduct, he started as Jiuquan Taishou, and then turned to Anding and Wudu, where he has a prestige.

Cao Cao recruited Zhang Lu and made Su Ze the military guide. Zhang Lu surrendered, migrated to Jincheng Taishou, with outstanding political achievements, and participated in the suppression of Liangzhou warlord rebellions many times. Later Zheng was a servant, not afraid of power, angrily reprimanded Dong Zhao, and dared to admonish directly, Cao Pi was deeply afraid.

In the fourth year of the early Huang dynasty (223), he moved to the east of Pingxiang. Before he arrived, he died on the way, and he was called Ganghou.

Although the Su family is not the descendant of Su Pingling, but no matter what, the Wuyuan Su family is going to rise after all, although it is still very weak, but after today, no one dares to underestimate the son of the Su family who worships the three great masters as teachers, and the name of Su Chen will also spread.

At the banquet, Su Chen also saw a character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Su Shuang, who funded Liu Bei Liang with 50 horses, 500 taels of gold and silver, and 1,000 catties of iron when Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan were in rebellion.

When it comes to seniority, he still has to call each other uncle, I heard Su Wei say that Su Shuang and their Su family are still distant relatives, but they haven't been in contact for many years.

Su Shuang's arrival aroused Su Chen's heart, that is, the horse business.

Ever since the forging of bones was refined, he had always wanted to start a horse business, but there was no suitable manpower, and there was no extra effort to take care of it, and now someone sent it to the door.

He asked his father to keep this person, and when the marriage was over, he was discussing a business with him, and Su Wei naturally handled it according to the rules.

Wei Xu and other brothers also came to Jiuyuan County with five hundred wolf horses, this was ordered by Su Chen, this time they won't leave, the base camp of the Su family will be Jiuyuan County in the future, and as for Wuyuan County, they will not give up there.

After being poured a lot of wine by Wei Xu and the others, Su Chen returned to the bedroom tremblingly, at this time Cai Yan was sitting on the bed with a red hijab, and her personal maid was serving.

"All of you go down!"

"This ......" The maids were a little confused, after all, according to the etiquette, they were going to stay and help, but how could Su Chen allow these two maids to disturb his good deeds, so he pretended to be angry.

"Yes!" Although the two maids were reluctant, they could only retreat obediently.

As soon as the maid left, Su Chen ripped off Cai Yan's red hijab, looked at the person with red lips and white teeth, and the raging fire caused by alcohol was ignited in an instant.

"Zhaohime, you're so beautiful!"

"Husband...... Woo!!! Before Cai Yan's timid tone was finished, he was blocked by Su Chen's big mouth.

The next thing is naturally a matter of course, the flower path has never been swept by guests, and the pengmen is now open for you.

The red candle was stopped in the cave room last night, and I was waiting to worship my aunt in front of Xiaotang. Makeup lowered his eyebrows and asked his husband, and the thrush was deep and shallow.

The next day, Su Chen's rare three poles in the sun did not get up until now, and last night he had a few degrees of plum blossoms, which really choked him enough, so he naturally got up late today.

Fortunately, the Su family now only has two big men, Wang Yue and Su Yu, and there is no problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which makes Cai Yan feel a lot more comfortable. Without her mother-in-law in charge, Cai Yan, the only hostess of Su Mansion, naturally became the hostess of the house.

Su Chen gave Cai Yan the key to the treasury, so that she could slowly familiarize herself with the family's business from today, and if she didn't understand anything, just greet Su An to serve.

He said goodbye to his bride and came to the small courtyard where Su Shuang lived, ready to negotiate with him.

"Uncle Shi slept soundly last night?"

Seeing that it was the groom who came, Su Shuang hurriedly greeted: "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine!" ā€

The two sat down to drink tea and exchanged a few words, Su Shuang took the lead in opening the topic and said, "Virtuous nephew, Uncle Shi is here to congratulate you, and I want to talk to you about Su Wine's business." ā€

"Oh?" It is not difficult for Su Chen to think that he is envious of the Zhen family, but in the end it is still a distant relative, Su Chen did not refuse, and said: "Su Jiu's business is put aside first, Uncle Shi, the little nephew is here, but he wants to do a big business with Uncle Shi, I wonder if Uncle Shi is interested?" ā€

"Oh? What kind of business is it? Su Shuang immediately became interested when he heard this.

"Selling horses!"

"Horse traffickers?" Su Shuang listened and asked disapprehantly: "Is it possible that this horse trading business is bigger than Su wine?" ā€

"Naturally!" Su Chen bought a pass, talked about the friendship between the Su family and Qiangqu, and later talked about the relationship between Li Sunai and Dong Zhuo, so he almost told him directly that I could get horses in my hands.

Su Shuang listened to it but still asked in confusion: "Virtuous nephew, even if you can get horses, but as far as I know, this war horse is also an indispensable thing for the Xiongnu tribe, even if they have excess to sell to us, it must be worth a lot of money, so plus the cost on the road, but it can't make a lot of money, as for selling inferior horses, the profit is even less, how can the virtuous nephew say that this is a big business?" ā€

Su Shuang didn't suspect that the other party was playing tricks on him, and he also knew that now the Su family was really in charge, and it was the person in front of him who was in charge of business, and Su Wei almost didn't care about the family business.

Su Chen laughed and asked, "Uncle Shi?" If I sell you a first-class horse, and the price is only half of what is on the market, and the number of horses is as large as it is, do you think it is not a big business? ā€

"What?" When Su Shuang heard this, he subconsciously replied: "This is impossible, not to mention the price, just say that the first-class good horse, where can you get it?" How many more, nephew, it's not that Uncle Shi doesn't believe you, but it's that what you say is really hard to believe. ā€

"It's understandable that Uncle Shi doesn't believe it." Su Chen pretended to think about it, and said: "Okay, Uncle Shi is not an outsider, no matter how far away, just because Uncle Shi can participate in the wedding of the little nephew, this kindness can only be repaid by the little nephew." ā€

Su Shuang was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but Su Chen still didn't get to the point after talking for a long time, and kept talking about it, so he couldn't help but ask: "The virtuous nephew is still talking about the horse quickly." ā€

"Hahahaha, don't hide it from my uncle, after my little nephew worshiped my master as a teacher, I had a lot of experience in alchemy, and I was lucky enough to refine it into an elixir, called Forging Bone San, this medicine can turn a bad horse into a good horse, and there is an eighty percent success rate, so does Uncle Shi think this is a big business?"

"Is this true?" Su Shuang was so excited that he stood up directly, and said to himself excitedly: "Isn't this just a big business, this is simply a million profits, compared with the price of war horses, bad horses are simply the same as giving away for nothing, a million profits, a proper book of ten thousand profits, virtuous nephew, can you take it seriously at this time?" ā€

"Seriously!"

"Indeed?"

"Indeed!"

"Undoubtedly?"

"There really is no doubt about it!"

After confirming it again and again, Su Shuang began to discuss the specific steps with him, and the final result was that Su Chen bought inferior horses from the Xiongnu tribe, and after improvement, Su Shuang sold them to various states and counties in Dahan, with a profit of three or seven cents.

Seventy percent went to the Su family, and three percent went to Su Shuang, even so, Su Shuang also took a big advantage.

After discussing the matter, Su Chen was also happy, which meant that the Su family had opened up a source of wealth after both Su wine and Dingyan Dan, but these three businesses used different networks, which was in line with the strategy of not putting eggs in one basket.

After talking about business, Su Shuang warmly invited him to Zhongshan as a guest, Su Chen only said that he would definitely visit if he had the opportunity in the future, where did he have time now? He was still busy going to Gao Shun, wanting to hear what Dong Zhuo's envoys had to say, this was a first-class matter.
