Chapter 142: The Great Migration (Part II)

"Girl, don't be so tired, your body and bones are important. When the business is done, you see how thin you have become. ”

At the door of Majia Grange, Ma Ling looked at Gao Qianqian, whose eyes were getting bigger and bigger, with a distressed look on her face.

"You can't do it without fatigue. Brother Ma Lan, this is the best time for our Ma family firm to do business west of Green Mountain, and this opportunity cannot be missed! ”

Gao Qianqian looked tired, but she looked extremely excited, stretched out her hand to comb the hair around her ear, looked at the carriages entering and leaving the grange, and said with a smile: "You said that there will be millions of Han people west of the Green Ridge in the future, and there will be more business that can be done here." Let them remember our Ma family firm now, and our business will definitely be able to open in the future. We can't be the envoys of this Anxi festival from generation to generation, but the business can be passed on to future generations. Now that we have laid the foundation, it will be easier for them in the future. ”

Ma Lan looked at this stubborn girl and sighed helplessly. In order to make a fortune for the Ma family, this girl is simply dead. Fortunately, she is a practitioner, and her body has the foundation of the previous few years, otherwise she would not have been able to hold on.

After the order to apply for Xuntian in Hezhong was issued, the response was extremely good, and there were already four or five thousand Han people who went to the military government in various places to sign up. Among them are the old soldiers of Anxi, and there are the families of the athletes who have recently made meritorious contributions in the army. All of these people were slowly converging on Shule from all over the four towns, preparing to take the green ridge guard and enter the river before the heavy snow closed the road.

It is difficult to give up the poor family, and the border army has been in hardship over the years, and the old soldiers carry a lot of items with them. Gao Qianqian has already released the news that all the items of the immigrants can be transported by the Ma Family Commercial Bank for free, and the old and weak can even take the pack horses of the Ma Family Commercial Bank.

In order to accomplish this, Gao Qianqianhua hired a large number of caravans in Qiuzi City at a high price, and these caravans had rushed to Shule one after another, ready to transport the supplies of the Han people. For this matter, Gao Qianqian prepared more than 200,000 yuan.

The army made a profit in Qiangtang, Duan Xiushi barely paid the money that Anxi Jun owed Gao Qianqian, although there were hundreds of thousands of dollars, but in addition to the cost and the craftsmen's money, there was actually not much left, and he had to take out the wealth of 200,000 yuan, and Gao Qianqian's turnover became extremely tense.

According to Ma Luan's meaning, this money should be from the Duhu Mansion, and Gao Qianqian can still make a fortune from small and medium-sized enterprises, but Gao Qianqian insisted that she should not pay a penny from the Duhu Mansion, and should do this in the name of the Ma Family Commercial Bank to gain fame for future generations.

With 200,000 yuan, Ma Ling felt a little distressed when she thought about it, but this girl was extremely stubborn, and no one could persuade her.

"Girl, you're thinking too long. We haven't gotten married yet, and we don't know when we'll have children. Ma Lan stretched out her big hand to hold Gao Qianqian's little hand, deliberately teasing her.

Gao Qianqian's little face blushed, and she snorted coquettishly: "Not now, won't it be in the future?" Besides, I'm not the only one who can give you a baby. - Brother Ma Lan, I have something to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?" Ma Lan asked with a smile.

"That girl from the Yang family has come to Anxi. I've seen her, she's a little beauty. Gao Qianqian tilted her head to look at Ma Lan, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"What! Which girl? Ma Luan's heart tightened.

"It's the girl of the Yang family, the one that the Son of Heaven gave you to marry. That girl is very capable, the batch of Chengxintang good paper that was shipped to Chang'an before has been sold out by her, and the Chengxintang paper has now become a tribute, and she came to Anxi to transport the goods in person. ”

"Is she still in Anthy?" Ma Lan asked.

"Gone. She only stopped here for three days, when you were killing the Tibetans in Qiangtang. After transporting a few hundred camels, he left, and showed me the accounts, all of which were clear and capable. Gao Qianqian smiled.

Ma Lan clenched Gao Qianqian's little hand hard, and said solemnly: "Girl, I really didn't expect her to live until now." But don't worry, I won't fail you. My wife will only be you, and never anyone else. ”

"yes, I know. Brother Ma Lan, you hurt me. ”

Ma Qian hurriedly let go, Gao Qianqian shook her little hand, wrinkled her little nose and said, "When I see this girl, I don't want to kill her anymore." That girl is really good-looking, I can't kill her. But you're mine, she can't snatch it! ”

Ma Ling nodded, and when he saw Gao Qianqian's natural expression, he was relieved.

He really didn't expect that the girl from the Yang family would come to Anxi, and she had already met Gao Qianqian. It seems that the girl is not an ordinary person, first she lived in her husband's house without getting married, and then she came all the way to Anxi, where can a woman who is usually raised in a deep boudoir do this.

No wonder Kang Qingqing has never succeeded, this little lady of the Yang family must also have something special.

"Brother Ma Lan, although that girl is a little smaller, she is really good-looking. If you see her, you will definitely be reluctant to kill her. With your temperament, it is a little difficult for you to let go of such a girl, if she is willing to be a concubine, I can allow her to enter the Ma family. Gao Qianqian blinked at Ma Lan and said with a smile.

"Is it really pretty?"

"You really want her!" Gao Qianqian pursed her lips.

Ma Lan laughed, but it was just a joke. This girl has always wanted to be generous, but after all, she is a little girl, how can the man she likes really want to share with others.

"Don't worry, girl. I'll take care of that. ”

……

At the beginning of September, the first Han people to go to the river set out under the escort of more than 100 Anxi soldiers. All the affairs on their way were handled by the Xinghu caravan hired by the Ma family trading house.

At present, although you can't cultivate the land, if you go early, the land you can get is the best.

The countryside here in Anxi was also built with hard work, and it was easy to give it up, so most of the Hermes-Epitek did not go with their families, but left their families to take care of their families. Even so, the number of Han people who went to the river was more than 10,000.

From the Lingling to the river, the Fengsui horse shop on the road that crosses the South Road of the Green Mountain has been established at the fastest speed, and the Xinghu merchants have been endless, transporting a large number of various materials to the Green Ridge for the Anxi Army.

Through the battle on the plateau, Ma Ling became more determined to use caravans to provide supplies for the army. The Xinghu merchants were naturally profit-seeking, and they could reduce the burden on Changxingfang by transporting supplies. Of course, the Hu merchants were transporting ordinary supplies, and the most important things such as strong bows and crossbows could never pass through their hands.

The green mountain road has become extremely lively, and the Anxi army is spending money like water. The Anxi army did not enter, all the money was plundered, and for the sake of this immigration and the transportation of resources to the river, there were a lot less of those stored in the treasury.

Ma Lan once asked a few big Hu merchants why they were so fanatical about Cersei, and Hu Shang's answer was extremely simple, just that scarce things are expensive. Large pieces of seser are rarer than gold, and can be used as family heirlooms, and such things are more reliable than gold and silver as a store of value.

This is very reasonable, Ma Lu originally thought that there was something special in this, but now that he thinks about it, it is just so.

Just as gold and silver can be used as currency, it is understandable that they are rarer than gold and silver.

Cersei is precious to the Hu people, but it is not a big problem for Ma Lan. Now there is no competition between Tubo and Datang at the southern foot of the Green Mountain, it is completely the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the Afghan generation and northern Pakistan in later generations are the sphere of influence of the Anxi Army.

Although the black powder thing is not powerful enough, it is enough to mine the sers. The Hu merchants had amassed a great deal of wealth, and since they liked the Ses, they exchanged them for their gold and jewels to make up for the lack of expenses for the Anxi army.

Ma Lan personally rushed to Shule City to sit in the town and sent batches of immigrants onto the road to the river. Now his reputation in the west of the city can be said to be in full swing, the Han people trust him very much, before leaving, he can see the Lord Duhu, and his heart is suddenly a lot more settled.

At the same time that Ma Lan saw off the Han people in Shule Town, in Tingzhou at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, thousands of Han family sons and daughters rode horses to the vast grassland under the leadership of Cheng Qianli, the capital of Beiting, and intercepted a group of fleeing Turks.

Chief Tongluo and the former deputy envoy of the Tang Shuo Fang Jiedu, Absi fled with his people in recent years, and finally fled to the edge of the Tang Dynasty.

……

After the fall of the Turkic Khanate, the chief of Tongluo Absi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and was given the name Li Xianzhong by the Son of Heaven. The latter department was assigned to An Lushan as a subordinate, and An Lushan suffered a crushing defeat in the battle of Tianmen Ridge in the tenth year of Tianbao, and attributed the cause of defeat to the general Ge Xie of Absi's subordinates, and executed him for the crime of fearing the enemy, which made Absi extremely dissatisfied.

In the eleventh year of Tianbao, An Lushan wanted to take revenge on the Khitan again, and ordered the Absi Department to be the vanguard, but Absi did not want to be driven by An Lushan anymore, so he led the clansmen to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and went away to Mobei after burning the treasury.

At this time, it has been nearly ten years since the fall of the Turkic Khanate, and Mobei has become the world of the Hui Khanate, where is there a place for Absi. Absi fled with his tribesmen all the way west, but was intercepted by the Hui tribes along the way, and the tribesmen continued to disperse, until there were only a few thousand tribesmen left near the North Garden.

Absi was already a rebel to the Tang Dynasty, and thousands of elite soldiers intercepted the Absi clan for a fight, and in the end only more than 1,000 people escaped, and the rest were all killed by the elite soldiers of Beiting on the grassland.

Unable to keep Absi, Cheng Qianli was naturally extremely unwilling, and immediately sent an envoy to cross the Jinshan and send an order to Gelulu Yehu to arrest Absi.

Among the Western Turkic tribes, the three surnamed Qarlu have become the largest force, and the black surname and the yellow surname Tuqi Shi have all declined. It was Cheng Qianli who would pass the order to Ge Lulu Ye Hu, not to the black and yellow surnames. (To be continued.) )
