"Thank you, sir!" The old man did not hesitate, put most of the copper coins on the ground, only took ten coins and put them in his arms, and most of the silk silk was also left, and only took five pieces and carried them on his back.

On Bai Xiaode's side, a pro-soldier had already come over to collect the wealth, and then wrote a receipt to the old man.

Bai Xiaode had been prepared for all this, and Ma Lan had no intention of interfering. The wealth of the border soldiers and soldiers is stored in the treasury, which is the practice of the military governments in the four towns of Anxi. Compared with those shops of the Hu people, it is still the most reassuring to put here.

Of course, Bai Xiaode will not really put this wealth in the treasury, but will take more than half of it out for profit. This is the means by which the border generals make a fortune, and it is a common thing in Ansinai.

Originally, there was not much wealth in the treasury of Shule Town, and what Bai Xiaode could earn was limited, but this time, it was obviously very different. If half of the pensions of these soldiers can be deposited in the treasury, Bai Xiaode will naturally make a lot of money.

This is equivalent to the bank of later generations, except that there is no interest. Of course, this is unfair to the soldiers, at this time, Ma Lan has not been able to dominate Anxi, and will not pay attention to this malaise for the time being, and to get rid of this ill, only when the real power is in his hands.

Bai Xiao took the old man's hand with great enthusiasm, and after some questioning, Ma Lan learned that this old man turned out to be a genuine Shangzhu country, and he couldn't help but be in awe. To be able to get such an honor, the old man didn't know how many bloody battles he had gone through back then.

The one who died in the battle on the Talas River this time was the only son of the old man. The old man has two grandchildren at home, who have not yet become adults.

At such times, it is superfluous to say anything else. Ma Lan took a small bag of gold coins from his arms and respectfully handed it to the old man, Bai Xiaode also had a good time, and generously ordered the soldiers to give the old man a receipt of fifty yuan, saying that he personally gave it to the old man.

Shangzhu Guo is the top among the lords, but the old man has not received any preferential treatment for so many years, and after receiving these additional rewards, the old man is even more grateful, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed to Ma Ling and Bai Xiaode again and again.

Who dares to bear the great gift of the pillar country? Both of them hurriedly avoided to the side, pulled the old man up together, and personally helped the old man off the high platform......

Seeing this scene, the people who were waiting to receive the pension were even more excited, and they talked about it one after another.

"Such a sympathetic general, the old man leans on the old man and says that he has never been from the first year to the present! Fighting with such a general, it's worth dying! ”

"That's it! When did you hear that the bereavement of the war dead could be worth 150 yuan? More than 100 catties of copper coins, a seven-foot man put it there, it's so heavy! Such a general is in Anxi, what else is there to worry about? ”

"Lord Bai is not bad, I haven't seen him so generous before."

"Everyone is poor, living on this border, and now that they have met such a general, as long as the general gives an order to go on the next expedition, who will not give up their lives to rush forward? When I go back, I'll call the second boy to make up for his brother's shortcomings! ”

“……”

In the midst of the discussion, one by one, the family members who were called by name went up to the high platform and received the copper coins and silk silks that belonged to them.

This time the bereavement pension is obviously different from the past, not only is there a full number of ten, but the copper coins are also in good condition, and none of the silk silks are old. The people who have obtained these riches are extremely grateful to Ma Lu who is sitting on the high platform.

While Ma Lan won the hearts of the people, Bai Xiaode was not idle, and most of the family members deposited most of their wealth in the treasury, only taking away a small amount of wealth and a piece of note. For them, such a fortune is too large, and it is better to put it in the treasury than to worry about it at home. Such a large amount of wealth entered the treasury, and Bai Xiaode gave it to those Hu merchants to sit and rentier, and the wealth was endless in the future.

One-third of the Anxi athletes who followed Ma Lu back to Shule Town were the garrisons around Shule Town, and most of them chose to store their wealth in the treasury within three days, and now the treasury has stored a huge amount of wealth worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Coupled with today's these, there is no problem with another 200,000 yuan in the warehouse. Thinking of this, Bai Xiaode was extremely happy, and he didn't know how happy he was.

……

"Chenggong, you and Ma Lu have been friends for many years, why are you such a person?"

Not far from the high platform, on the second floor of a tavern opened by Hu Shang, Feng Changqing yawned tiredly and said lazily.

Sitting across from him was a young man in his thirties. The young man looked in the direction of the high platform, his eyes fell on Ma Lan's body, and he frowned and said, "The eagle looks at the wolf, and the scheming is deep. Doctor, the Ma Renjie in front of me is no longer the Ma Renjie I know! ”

"Why did Cheng Gong say this?" Feng Changqing smiled and couldn't help but yawn again.

The young man said: "The Ma Ling Ma Renjie I know values love and righteousness, but he is just a martial artist. This time he was trapped in the enemy country, if he returned alone, who would have thought that he would actually kill all sides in the river, bring back thousands of my Anxi Han'er, and kill the general and marshal of the big cannibal! If it was Ma Renjie in the past, he would definitely not be able to do this. ”

"This time, his merits are comparable to Banchao Chen Tang, and the knighthood will be certain, and it can be said that he is glorifying his ancestors. The original Ma Renjie didn't attach much importance to fame, and he disregarded the rules like this and randomly distributed pensions to the families of the war dead, which was very similar to his personality. ”

"But with his Ma Renjie's original temperament, he will definitely not sit on a high platform like this and openly win people's hearts! He is a person who has been a ranger, and he has always been generous and bold, such a villainous act, he used to absolutely disdain it. ”

"It is a taboo in the army to be kind to him, if he cares about his future, he should not do this, and if he does so, he does not care about the future. If he doesn't care about the future, he deliberately buys people's hearts like this, for fear that others will not know that he gave these riches. ”

"In the past two days, I have heard some rumors in the market, and I think the doctor has also heard about it. Now everyone in Shule Town is rumoring that General Ma Lan has taken on a big role in the distribution of this pension. I checked, and the source of the rumors turned out to be Ma Renjie's cronies! ”

"Doctor, Xiushi doesn't know what happened to Ma Renjie in the river that made him have such a change. I can't see through what he did, and I don't know what he thinks. I only know that he is very ambitious at the moment, and he is already about to go crazy, no matter who stands in front of him, he will not care about stepping on it! ”

"What does Cheng Gong think his ambition will be?"

Feng Changqing asked, yawned unconsciously, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's really old, I've been walking in Khotan for a few days, and I haven't been able to slow down." ”

Duan Xiushi shook his head and said, "I can't guess." Doctor, now this Ma Renjie, I don't understand it at all. ”

"This is the piece that Ma Lan originally planned to send to Chang'an, Cheng Gong should take a good look!" Feng Changqing took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Duan Xiushi.

Duan Xiushi took it, looked at the handwriting on the silver hook and iron on it, and first praised it: "Good words!" Then he looked at it seriously.

Feng Changqing covered his mouth and yawned again, his brows furrowed.

This feeling is really uncomfortable, is it really old?

After a while, Duan Xiushi raised his head and said in a deep voice: "What Ma Renjie is planning should be the main side of Anxi, and then the middle of the river!" If so, then everything is understandable. ”

"No one can erase the great merit of the world, although the city's grace is flawed, but it will not erase the credit of this time, but it can be supported by Anxi Jian'er. It's just that in this way, Ma Renjie will inevitably be jealous of the courtiers, and he is afraid that it will be hopeless if he wants to return to Chang'an to build a Ya Kaifu in the future. ”

"Doctor, Ma Renjie is a righteous man, what he wants this time is to completely occupy the fertile land in the river! Taking advantage of the great food to occupy the river, it was the doctor's plan, and it was also approved by the important ministers of the court, but unfortunately the tall general fell short, and now it is reasonable for Ma Ling to want to complete this work. It's just that with his seniority in Anxi, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the main side Anxi to convince the public. He must have been too anxious! ”

"The credit this time is enough to make him knighted, but not enough to make him the master of Anxi. General Gao has entered the court, and the countries of the Western Regions have their own scheming, at this time, only the doctor can control the situation. I think it must be a doctor who will take over as the envoy of Jiedu and the deputy protector, and Ma Renjie has no hope at all. ”

Feng Changqing smiled and said, "Chenggong, tell me, Ma Lan wants to go to the river again, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"God-given opportunity, fleeting!" Duan Xiushi said, "Ma Renjie can have such a mind, I used to underestimate him. ”

Feng Changqing shook his head and said tiredly: "In the land of the four battles in Anxi, tens of thousands of Han soldiers guarding this 10,000-mile territory are already extremely thin. General Gao failed this time, but the culprit was the old man. If it weren't for the old man's impatience, General Gao would not have been defeated. ”

"Chenggong, the old man has already understood, unlike other feudal countries, this great food has been established for a hundred years, and it has been quite popular, even if the artifact is easier, it is not something that outsiders can meddle in to make profits, which is the same as my China. This defeat has already taught the old man a lesson. Our Anxi army can only recuperate and recover slowly, and must not repeat the incident. An Shou Green Mountain thought that it was the western boundary, and he was optimistic about the territory of Anxi. ”

"Doctor, Xiushi thinks it's ......"

"Your mind is the same as Ma Renjie's, this is what the old man is most worried about." Feng Changqing raised his spirits, interrupted Duan Xiushi's words, sighed and said, "The old man will no longer hide it from you, Ma Renjie has agreed with the old man that the old man will never take over as the envoy of Anxi Jiedu in exchange for him to reduce the number of athletes brought back to Anxi." ”

"Ma Renjie, the old man is also a little unable to see through. He is the master of Anxi, and the old man is not unacceptable, but he is worried that he will be bent on revenge and then provoke. Chenggong, if you think like this now, the old man is even more worried. ”

Duan Xiushi silently counted his breath and said softly: "The doctor is serious, Xiushi will think about it." ”

"You must not provoke again, and you must not try to be in the river again!" Feng Changqing leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes tiredly, "Chenggong, among the generals in Anxi, I am most optimistic about you." You and Ma Renjie are also friends, and he can still listen to a few words of your words. ”

"A few days later, Wang Zhengjian, the envoy of the Beiting Festival, was going to come to Anxi and replace General Gao as the envoy of the Anxi Festival and the deputy protector. The old man relied on the tall general, and then the old man would not have any power. ”

"Chenggong, Ma Renjie has made such a great contribution, and it is a sure thing to lead an army by himself. While the old man can still call the shots, you can go to him and be a dushi for him! With you on his side, the old man can rest assured. ”

"Remember the old man's words, don't provoke lightly, don't try to be in the river again! Chenggong, the net worth and life of tens of thousands of Han family sons and daughters in the four towns of Anxi will be borne on you in the future. ”
