In fact, Qin Shubao, the old goblin, happily accepted the surrender of the Turks, which proved that he knew how to deal with the prisoners, but at this time he did not say it explicitly, but pretended to be confused and said: "Wei Hong, then in your opinion, how should these 35,000 captives be disposed of?" ”

Wei Hong is considered to have served these old things, and he can see everything clearly, but he doesn't say it himself, he has to let Wei Hong say it. If it's right, if it's wrong, it's also Wei Hong's business, and it can really be described as a deliberate run on Wei Hong. Wei Hong sighed faintly in his heart, and said: "Thirty-five thousand people are a force that should not be underestimated, to put it seriously, if these thirty-five thousand people are negligent in discipline, I am afraid that it will be a disaster for the entire Tang Dynasty!" But there is a contingency for everything, and since the number of captives is too large, it is completely possible to break them into pieces, and scatter these 35,000 people and scatter them all over the place. At that time, even if they really have ghosts, they won't be able to make any waves! Moreover, it is necessary to let these 35,000 people be converted from military to civilian, and completely eliminate the possibility of their rebellion! ”

"Oh? How should that be transformed? Although Qin Shubao knew what to do with these 35,000 people, he hadn't thought of the specific method yet. Hearing what Wei Hong said at this time, Qin Shubao asked with great interest.

Wei Hong also did not sell Guanzi, and said bluntly: "Recently, there are two things that are the top priority of Datang, one is that foreign people are on the border, and the other is domestic economic construction. Now that the Horsehair Mountain has defeated the main force of the Hui Turks, even if there are any conspiracies of other tribes, they will be completely chaotic because of the defeat of the Hui Turks. At least in the short term, Datang will not be under pressure at the border. In this case, the first priority now is to improve the domestic economic construction! The banking system that I mentioned earlier with Sheng Shang is the focus of Datang's economic construction, but the manpower, material and financial resources that need to be invested in order to successfully operate the banking system are too huge. In terms of financial resources, there are saints, and in terms of material planning, you can offer some modest efforts. As for the coolies used for large-scale construction, these 35,000 people came in handy! ”

Hearing Wei Hong's words, Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Mr. Wei, do you mean to let these 35,000 troops be distributed everywhere and used as coolies?" ”

Wei Hong nodded noncommittally: "These 35,000 people can't be divided into the territory of Datang, although they can't play a role in determining the surname, but at least they can share the burden of domestic labor." It's also a good use. ”

After the battle of Horsehair Mountain, Wei Hong's investment inside and outside was as high as one million taels. With the surname of Comrade Li's chicken thief, Wei Hong does not have much hope for the amount that can be reimbursed, and when the time comes, these 35,000 coolies can not only help the Construction Bank. Afterwards, you can also use public and private tools to contribute to Hongyuan Commercial Bank, and more or less make up for the huge financial resources paid by Hongyuan Commercial Bank in this battle.

After listening to Wei Hong's suggestion, Qin Shubao did not speak, after all, this matter has to be decided by Comrade Li. Now that the general trend has been decided, there is no need for all staff to be on guard to defend against the trapped beasts of the Hui Turks, so Qin Shubao asked Wei Hong and the others to go back to cultivate first, leaving only Qin Shubao himself to supervise in front.

After returning to the city, Wei Hong and the others were well healed, and after the treatment, Cheng Chumo and the others went back to rest, while Wei Hong went to Li Jing's mansion to take a look. Qin Huaiyu's injuries are too serious, and he is still in a coma, and his condition is not optimistic. Li Jing simply comforted Wei Hong a few words, and then asked Wei Hong to go back to rest first.

went back to rest for one night, and early the next morning, Wei Hong instructed Zhou Dali to go back to the capital to transfer money. It will take a few days to deal with the surrender, and in this short period of time, Wei Hong needs to first send the money to the local people. It didn't take a few days for Zhou Dali to come back with the money, and he got back a total of 200,000 taels of silver. According to Wei Hong's instructions, it was distributed to the people who participated in archery. Except for Ni Er's 10,000 taels, everyone received ten taels of silver. There are still 50,000 taels left, and all these 50,000 taels are distributed to the families of the soldiers who died in battle, which can be regarded as a little bit of Wei Hong's heart.

In this battle, when it comes to the person who benefits the most, it is Ni Er. This kid was originally an ordinary ruffian hooligan, an inferior person who had been abducted by the pit, and his entire family foundation did not exceed two taels of silver. And after this battle, this kid was directly promoted to a well-known rich man in the whole city. When he walked, he walked with a figure-eight step, his head held high, and his eyes were above the top.

According to the reservation, today, Ni Er will go to Wei Hong's residence to receive 10,000 taels of silver. When he was on the street, everyone who saw Ni Er bowed and worshipped.

"Yo, Second Master Ni, where are you going?" Zhang Mingjiang, the rich man of Horsehair Mountain, was walking on the street with his baby son when he met Ni Er, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and asked very respectfully. If it had been placed in the past, Ni Er would not have even given Zhang Mingjiang enough shoes to carry his shoes, and recently, even Zhang Mingjiang had to salute him, which was really feng shui in turn.

Although Ni Er had nothing to do with Zhang Mingjiang, he knew Zhang Mingjiang's net worth, so he didn't dare to be rude, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zhang Da Rich, disrespectful and disrespectful." No, I made an appointment with Mr. Wei, and I said I was going to get the money today. ”

In fact, the reason why Zhang Mingjiang is so polite to Ni Er is not because of Ni Er's 10,000 taels of silver, but because Ni Er and Wei Hong have a relationship. Now Wei Hong's name can be said to be famous in the entire Tang Dynasty, if anyone gets Wei Hong's appreciation, it is really green smoke on the ancestral tomb. When it was said that in the bloody battle with the Hui Turks, Wei Hong once said in person, 'Good boy, I didn't misread you'. Now this sentence has spread in Horsehair Mountain. Everyone knows that Ni Er has been appreciated by Wei Hong, not to mention Zhang Mingjiang now, even the local powerful officials and eunuchs have to give Ni Er a few thin noodles.

Zhang Mingjiang smiled and said, "Hehe, Second Master Ni, you earned it this time!" Money is secondary, the key is to get acquainted with a big man like Mr. Wei, and in the future, you can go sideways in our Horsehair Mountain! ”

Although Ni Er has gained momentum, he has a market mentality after all, and he doesn't dare to be too public. Scratching his head, he replied embarrassedly: "It's pure luck, now that I have been appreciated by Mr. Wei, I naturally have to learn from Mr. Wei to behave like him, and I can't smear Mr. Wei's face." ”
