The Zhu family was invited to the guidance of Master Yu and made a fortune from an inconspicuous fishmonger, but they became rich in five years. In the past five years, Zhu Tancheng has been saving the three-cent interest money promised to Tan Invite, waiting to see Tan Invite Yu one day and return her share she deserves.

But the housekeeper didn't expect Zhu Tancheng to hesitate without hesitation, and planned to send the money over exactly a penny! That's a lot of money!

Zhu Tancheng saw the housekeeper's surprised reaction, and said with a sinking face, "What?" Didn't you think I'd swallow the money? Not to mention that the old immortal changed my name at the beginning, so that I could be honest. Even today's family business was given to me by the old immortals. How dare I forget my roots! ”

The housekeeper hurriedly admitted his mistake, "It's the villain who is narrow-minded!" The villain knows his mistakes. It's just such a large sum of money, how can it be transported to Qiuchi? Nearly 100 trucks were loaded. ”

Zhu Tancheng carefully considered it and said, "Go and contact Lu Shuihu's people." I heard that the Xianbei nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty encroached on the land of many Qianren, forcing them to have no choice, and now they have gathered in the Lushui area and become a large mercenary group. They don't know how to farm, and they can't graze their cattle, so instead of helping countries fight wars and die, it is estimated that they would prefer to help caravans escort them, after all, the risk is much smaller. ”

The housekeeper was still not at ease, "Lu Shuihu's mercenary group is indeed a good reputation. But with so much gold and silver, no matter how good the reputation is, it is inevitable that people will forget their righteousness......"

Zhu said frankly, "There is no need to worry. I have already communicated with Qiu Chi's right minister before, and he will also send troops in disguise to answer at that time. We just need to find more wood and hide the gold and silver in the wood. ”

"Wood?" The housekeeper was puzzled.

Zhu nodded frankly, "Qiuchi's palace and palace need to be renovated, and the city also needs to be reinforced. It's normal to buy some wood. It will not be seen as overweight, nor will it attract the eyes of thieves. After all, wood is not easy to grab, bad luck, and it is not easy to sell. ”

The butler suddenly realized, "Master's clever plan!" The villain went to send someone to buy wood. ”

-- The Dividing Line --

After passing the news to Zhu Tancheng, Invite Yu was not idle. She found the spies of the Third Route Army to question them one by one, and recorded what they saw and heard, no matter how big or small, in a book, and then classified and archived by Zimo. Then by winning the wind to improve the current soft and popular map.

After a few days, Invite Yu and the others already knew about Rouran's territory, and they only waited for news from other sources to deduce the location of Rouran's royal tent.

Invite Yu has been very busy these days, and Zong Ai has also broken his leg. At first, he thought that Invite Yu asked him to help just talk, who would have thought that Invite Yu really asked him from Tuobatao to come as a messenger, and kept instructing him to look for people.

Zong Ai really hated Invite Yu at this time, but he knew that if Invite Yu wanted to kill him now, it would be as simple as pinching an ant to death. But he was unwilling to be so subjected to the rain, so he began to secretly arrange it by looking for people every day.

After waiting for more than ten days, news from all sides came one after another. Knowing that Zhu Tancheng had come to the Northland in person, Yu Yu said to Zimo with satisfaction, "It seems that this official and businessman did not give it away in vain." ”

It's just that the news from all sides is not satisfactory. Meng Shi and Yingfeng can be said to have made no progress on their side. Zhu Tancheng found out that the Rouran people had exchanged a lot of supplies, grain, cloth, salt, and two carts of black beans from a caravan a few months ago. Zhu Tancheng used some methods to determine that the large army of the Rouran people was trading with the caravan in the Lishui area at that time.

Ying Feng hurriedly took out the map he had redrawn and pointed out Li Shui to Invite Yu. Zimo also found out the news he sorted out, and singled out all the content related to the Lishui area.

Invite Yu kept looking at the list of supplies and pondering. Grain, cloth, salt, she can understand these, what can she do with so many black beans? Black beans are excellent horse fodder and come at a high price. If you feed black beans to the Khan's imperial horse, that's too much. But if it is said that it is a horse to supply ordinary soldiers of Rouran, this number is too small.

If you don't understand, ask someone who does. So Invite Yu instructed outside the tent, "Zong Ai, go find a few people who know how to raise horses." ”

Zong Ai immediately answered outside, "No." Then he took small steps and ran to find someone. He didn't know what Tan Invite Yu was doing, and he really had anyone to find recently.

After a while, several soldiers in the barracks who were in charge of raising horses were called.

Invite Yu asked, "Did Marco in the barracks feed black beans now?" ”

Several soldiers who raised horses shook their heads, and one of the oldest replied, "Hui Xianji, black beans are too expensive." Except for the horses of His Majesty and several generals, the other horses were not fed black beans. ”

Invite Yu nodded, similar to what she thought, but looking at the number of black beans on the supply list, she still felt that something was wrong. So he asked again, "Then do you know what black beans can do besides feeding horses?" ”

Several soldiers were stunned, they didn't know anything else except raising horses. What else can this black bean do, how will they know?

Invite Yu to see a few people, you look at me, I look at you, they all look like they don't know why, and they can't help sighing and saying, "Okay." Go down first. ”

The soldiers who raised the horses all kowtowed respectfully to Invite Yu when they heard this, and walked out one after another. The eldest one stepped out of the tent door with one foot, and then came back, knelt down and said, "If Xian Ji asks if the black beans have any other uses, the villain doesn't know." However, it seems that it is about to enter winter, and it is the time of the stallion, and the stallion consumes a lot of black beans every year. Before breeding, it is necessary to feed black beans to the stallions, which can give the horses aphrodisiacs, and the foals born are fruitful. ”

When Yu Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is a stallion?" ”

The veteran was a little embarrassed, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and surprise Xianji, so he thought about it and said, "Our war horses are all fanning horses, and they can't be bred." The stallions are kept from the best of the newborn foals. However, every year, I still have to go to the grassland to set new wild horses, and after taming, I will also be a stallion, otherwise the foals born will be inferior to one generation after another. Counting the days, we are about to go out to set up wild horses. ”

"......I see," Invite Yu said happily, "Since we can't find the Rouran people, let's go find the horses of the Rouran people!" Win the wind, Zimo, look for it, where are the wild horses gathered near Lishui! ”

Although wild horses are constantly moving in the grassland, they still have a divided territory. As long as they find the wild horse herd and wait for the rabbits, they can wait for the Rouran people who come to set the wild horses!

Ying Feng and Zimo also understood the intention of inviting rain, and quickly sifted through the news, asked the veterans who raised horses, and finally confirmed a place called Difu Pond.

(Difu Pond: Benchagan Lake where the Baidragh River flows into present-day southwest Mongolia.) "Wei Shu Worm Biography": In the tenth year of Taiping Zhenjun of the Northern Wei Dynasty (449), he was able to conquer He Zhen, "King Gaoliang went out of the east road, and King Li'er of Luoyang went out of the middle way, and met with the armies in Difuchi." ）
