Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 365
"The general's idea is good. It really makes the best use of everything. It's just that the general has never thought that these people are not so easy to tame." Said that Xun Yu turned around and came to a cage containing Xianbei prisoners, only the Xianbei prisoners inside Said: "Didn't the general see the hatred in their eyes?" Although Xun Yu was somewhat resistant to Lu Bu, this did not affect Xun Yu's helping Lu Bu deal with foreign affairs. It must be that the big man has treated foreigners with an iron fist since the founding of the country. , supplemented by appeasement, and now the Han Dynasty is weak, and the Xianbei people are not weak. Xun Yu is also happy to have a general like Lu Bu come out to fight against Xianbei.

"That's what I'm worried about, so I'm going to demote them all as slaves and keep them under strict supervision, so that there won't be any problems." Lu Bu is a man, so he naturally knows many ways to deal with slaves. The easiest way is to put them in shackles , but this method does not seem to be feasible. It is certain that in this era, iron cavalry is a scarce resource, so it will not be used on slaves.

"General, I have a solution for this. The general will leave this matter to me." Seeing that Lu Bu insisted that it was not such a good idea, Cai Yan said.

"Oh, what can you do, why don't you tell me and listen." Seeing that Cai Yan has a way, Lu Bu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.However, she firmly believed in Cai Yan's words. Cai Yan was well-read and knowledgeable, and naturally there were many ways to do this.

"Actually, before the Qin Dynasty, there were endless wars in various countries, and the defeated captives would be reduced to slaves, which is quite similar to what the generals do today. Of course, there were many ways to deal with the large number of captives at that time. But these methods are too cruel, let alone talk about it "Cai Yan said that Lv Bu already understood. Although Lv Bu did not study much, he also knew that Qin and Han used to be a slave society, and naturally there were many ways to deal with slaves. It is not a piece of cake to deal with these Xianbei people.

"Hehe, I remembered what everyone Cai said. In fact, the best way to deal with these captives first is the Baojia system and the continuous sitting system. First, these prisoners are organized into Baojia according to the number of people. There are ten people and one armor. Ten armors and one guarantor set up a guarantor, which is the baojia system. As for the continuous seat system, it is even simpler, that is, if one person is guilty, one guarantor is guilty of the same crime, and if one person is guilty, the other guarantor is guilty of the same crime. Surveillance, check each other, it would be better if the general let them keep their war horses, and calculate it according to Baojia." Xun Yu just thought about it for a while, and everyone thought it through. It's breathtaking.

"Hey, it's just that this method is too cruel." After listening to Xun Yu's words, Cai Yan shook his head and sighed.Cai Yan didn't say it just now, it's not that Cai Yan didn't know about these things, but just thought it was too cruel, and wanted to think about it again to see if there was any good way to replace it, but now that Xun Yu said it, this matter Things are probably irreversible.

"Yan'er, you don't have to be like this. Troubled times are like this. If you are not used to the atmosphere here, go to the inn to rest first." Although Heqi City is not big, it has all kinds of facilities, and things like inns are naturally indispensable. .

"Don't worry about it, Husband, Yan'er just suddenly felt a little emotional, it's okay." Seeing Lu Bu's concern, Cai Yan said with a smile.

"Bad guy, go away, let go of my sister." At this moment, a frightened and angry child's voice came from not far away.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance holding a little girl by the prison not far away, and a boy of six or seven years old next to him was tearing at the middle-aged man, obviously trying to help The little girl who was dragged by the middle-aged man escaped, while the Xianbei man in the prison looked at this scene with no expression, obviously he was used to this kind of scene, it was just a middle-aged woman leaning on the railing live crying.

"Bastard, you're getting impatient." Just as the little boy was desperately dragging the little girl, the wretched middle-aged man suddenly became furious and kicked the little boy to the ground.

"Brother, leave me alone." Seeing the little boy being kicked to the ground and being held by the middle-aged man, the little girl was already crying.

"Hey, girl, don't cry, follow me from now on, uncle, I will take care of you." Seeing the little girl crying, the wretched middle-aged man smiled evilly and pinched the little girl's face with his hand. said.

"What are you doing? You haven't let the little girl go yet." At this moment, a big hand was suddenly placed on the middle-aged man's shoulder, and it turned out that Tai Shici had arrived behind the middle-aged man at some point .

"That bastard dares to meddle in Grandpa's affairs?" The wretched middle-aged man was so painful to be slapped like this, he hurriedly uttered insults, but when he turned around and saw Tai Shici's tall figure, he froze all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "Hehe I don’t want to bother you if I don’t know Mount Tai.” This wretched middle-aged man was quick to see the opportunity, seeing that Tai Shici’s tall and powerful man could not be offended by himself, he quickly apologized and wanted to take the little girl away However, Tai Shici stretched out his hand and blocked it.

"You can get out, but this little girl doesn't have to follow you." Seeing the wretched middle-aged man's understanding, Tai Shici said indifferently.

"Eh? Master, this little girl is a Xianbei slave I bought." Hearing Tai Shici's words, the middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but immediately said with confidence.This Heqi Chamber of Commerce is the number one force in the Heqi City. The Heqi Chamber of Commerce has rules. In the Heqi City, no disturbances are allowed, let alone robbery of goods. This little girl is a slave bought by a wretched middle-aged man, so it belongs to goods. The wretched middle-aged people see that Tai Shici is tall and powerful, so naturally they dare not compete with Tai Shici, but Tai Shici's performance breaks the rules of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, that is, he is an enemy of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, which makes more wretched middle-aged people A confidence, and this sentence is to remind Tai Shici that the rules of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce cannot be broken.

"Really? How much did you pay for this little girl? I bought it." At this time, Cai Yan who was beside Lu Bu suddenly came out and said.Naturally, Cai Yan is not afraid of offending people from the chamber of commerce, but the business of the Heqi chamber of commerce is his own, and the rules are set by himself, so he can't ruin his own business. Compared with Cai Yan, who is rich and powerful now, he doesn't care These little bucks.

"Hehe, look at this little girl, although she is from Xianbei, she can speak Chinese. The top quality, plus this little girl is hippie and tender, she must be a beauty when she grows up, since the young master likes it, then the price is [-] yuan, which is a bit of a disadvantage for me, you know, I am planning to use this little girl for myself When he heard that Cai Yan was willing to pay for the little girl, the wretched middle-aged man suddenly regained his spirits, and quickly said what the seller said when he bought the little girl.

"Ten thousand dollars, this slave is worth a lot of money." Lu Bu looked around. Now Lu Bu is the lord of a state, and he doesn't usually have to buy anything, so naturally he doesn't have money on him. As for Cai Yan, he doesn't have to think about it. Although he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, he usually only spends his time in the back garden of Lu Bu's home. Although he wants to buy this little girl, he is obviously not the owner of the money. You must know that [-] yuan is not a small amount. Cai Yan's figure is impressive. As for Xun Yu and Tai Shici, although they work under Lu Bu, they only do part-time jobs. Although Lu Bu will not take them quickly, they will not take a group of A person with tens of thousands of dollars going around, after much deliberation, Lu Bu looked at Cheng Lian. Cheng Lian came with captives and goods, and he should be able to get a lot of money, enough to buy this little girl. Lu Bu didn't want to be People say they can't afford things.

"Why do you dare to ask for such a high price? What kind of work can such a little girl do? Take it home and raise it. This kind of one is only fifty dollars at most. How dare you ask for ten thousand dollars? You want to rob, rob! !" Lu Bu looked at Cheng Lian, and was about to speak, but he saw that Cheng Lian had already stepped out, and said to the middle-aged wretched man.

"Hehe, what this lord said is right. I did buy this little girl from the Heqi Chamber of Commerce for [-] yuan, but I think this little girl looks good, and the market has gone up now." Although the middle-aged wretched man was exposed last year, he His face turned pale, and he said that he didn't care at all.

"Grandma, believe it or not, I'll kill you." Cheng Lian wanted to show off, but he was robbed by this wretched middle-aged man, and he said angrily.

"Hey, this is the site of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce. The people of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce are vicious. I advise you not to make trouble here. It will be difficult to end." The wretched middle-aged man glanced at Cheng Lian and said provocatively.

The middle-aged man seemed a little afraid in front of Tai Shici just now, but now he can make a lot of money.Unexpectedly, he is no longer intimidated, and looks confident.

"Uh, everyone, the purpose of our Harmonious Chamber of Commerce is to generate wealth through harmony. If you have anything to say, speak slowly and don't get angry." At this moment, several big men with knife handles came over, and one of them laughed at Everyone said that these people were obviously the guards of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, and they rushed over when they saw something was wrong here, and the wretched middle-aged man just saw these people, so he became a lot harder.

"Don't worry, there's nothing going on here." Seeing the guards of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce looking at them with vigilant eyes, Cai Yan reached out and took out a bronze plaque from his waist, and threw it to the leading guard.

The leading guard stretched out his hand to take the sign, and upon looking at it, he saw that the sign was made of bronze, with the four characters "Heqi Chamber of Commerce" engraved on the front, and a gold-plated "gui" character engraved on the back.This is the bronze VIP card of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce. Having this sign means that the visitor is a major customer of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, and ordinary people cannot offend it.

"It's not just a distinguished guest here, I'm sorry." After seeing the bronze sign, the guard leader hurriedly bowed and handed the sign back with both hands, with a very respectful look.

"How about it, do you still want to sell this little girl for [-] yuan?" Cheng Lian threatened the wretched middle-aged man again seeing that Cai Yan had overwhelmed the guards of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce.

"Hmph, so what if you are VIPs of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, I don't believe you dare to shoot things on the territory of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce." Although the wretched middle-aged man was a little scared, he thought that as long as he persisted, he might get something. Thousands of dollars, so he insisted.

"Forget it, isn't it [-] yuan? If you come to the Heqi Inn later, I will naturally give you the money." Lu Bu smiled and said indifferently. Compared with [-] yuan, Lu Bu valued the reputation of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce more.

"Okay, this boss is happy. We'll see you at the Qishang Inn later." Seeing that Lu Bu agreed to come down, the wretched middle-aged man was excited, but he didn't expect that he would actually make a fortune after persisting for a while.But in order to be able to take away [-] yuan, he also needs to prepare well, so he pulled the little girl next to him and hurried away.

"General, I'll go and watch him so that he doesn't run away." Cheng Lian is a vigilant person, so he naturally understands that Lu Bu and Cai Yan are not here in Heqi City to protect the reputation of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce. Since Lu Bu and Cai Yan value the Heqi Chamber of Commerce so much Cheng Lian wouldn't sabotage unwisely, but if this wretched middle-aged man walked out of Heqi City without paying attention, then Cheng Lian's heart would be out of control.

"Ah, a few distinguished guests. This is Wangcai, the shopkeeper here. I didn't know there was a distinguished guest coming, so I'm sorry." At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over from the side, followed by the guard leader who had seen Zhang Linger's bronze plaque before. .Apparently, after receiving the report from the head of the guards, the shopkeeper Wangcai came here in a hurry.

"Hehe, the few of us just came here casually to see if the shopkeeper was rude." Lu Bu said to the shopkeeper Wangcai with a chuckle.

"Is there anything valuable to the honored guests, and I will definitely pay you a fair price." The Wangcai shopkeeper said with a pleasant smile as soon as he came up.

The VIPs of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce are divided into three categories, the lowest is the Bronze VIP, who uses the sign that Cai Yan just brought out, this sign indicates that this person has a large amount of business dealings with the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, and is a valued customer of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce; The second category is the silver VIP. Those who can show the silver brand mean that this kind of person is an important partner of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, not just in the oil business, and the most honorable is the gold VIP. This kind of VIP not only means The other party is a strategic partner of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, and is also a symbol of kamikaze. Those who have the status of golden VIPs not only have various benefits, but also can dispatch the power of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce to a certain extent.However, the Heqi Chamber of Commerce keeps a close eye on VIP status. Even though the business of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce spreads all over Liangzhou, it has never been heard that the Heqi Chamber of Commerce has given anyone a silver VIP status, let alone a gold VIP status. This made the treasurer Wangcai attach great importance to Lu Bu and others. Besides, the business of human trafficking is not easy to do now, so the treasurer Wangcai naturally has to do his best.So when he heard that a distinguished guest was visiting, the shopkeeper Wangcai rushed over immediately.

"We want this little boy, and we also want that woman." Lu Bu didn't say much, but said directly to the little boy who called the little girl's sister earlier.The reason why Lu Bu bought the little boy was also because the little boy spoke Chinese at that time, although it was a little rusty.However, in Lu Bu's opinion, this little Xianbei boy who can speak Chinese must have a special background.

"Um, do you really want to buy them?" Hearing Lu Bu's words, the shopkeeper of Zhiwangcai hesitated, asking whether he could or not.

"Is there something wrong?" Lu Bu asked after seeing the strange expression on the shopkeeper Wangcai's face.

"Your honored guest, do you think that this little boy and the little girl just now can speak Chinese, so you think they are extraordinary?" The shopkeeper of Wangcai immediately expressed Lu Bu's thoughts, which made Lu Bu's heart move.

"Does the shopkeeper know their origins?" Listening to the shopkeeper Wangcai, Lu Bu also understood that the shopkeeper must know something, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

"To tell you the truth, when they first came, I saw that they could speak Chinese, and I thought it was extraordinary. After many twists and turns, I found out that their father was a Han who was captured by the Xianbei before. Their father married the Xianbei woman, that is, the weeping woman. These two children, because they have a Han father, can speak some Chinese at will, but although their father is Han, he served in the Han army. When they went to Grass Valley, their mother and son were killed in order to protect them, so the three of them were sent here." The shopkeeper Wangcai spoke slowly, but it was a touching and sad experience.

"Hey, the Xianbei people and the Han people have been feuding for many years, but they have also blended with each other. For them, is their enemy the Han people or the Xianbei people?" After hearing the story of the shopkeeper Wangcai, Cai Yan shook his head and sighed. .It seemed very helpless.

"Do these two distinguished guests still want to buy?" After explaining the reason, the shopkeeper Wangcai asked again.

"Treasurer Wangcai, why didn't you raise the price when we didn't know about it before? You know, the middle-aged man who bought the little girl just now, but he robbed us of ten thousand dollars. You don't look like a person doing this. A businessman." Just when the shopkeeper Wangcai asked again, Xun Yu said, looking very curious about the shopkeeper Wangcai.You must know that it is very common for businessmen to deliberately exaggerate their products and raise prices.

"Hehe, you are the distinguished guests of our Heqi Chamber of Commerce, how can I deceive you, although the purpose of doing business is to make money, but it must also be based on honesty, the Heqi Chamber of Commerce has such a big stall, naturally you have to be innocent to do it for a long time, isn't it? You can break the rules for a one-shot business." The treasurer of Wangcai said slowly.

"Hehe, what the shopkeeper said is good. With a shopkeeper like you in the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, it will be difficult for the business not to prosper." Hearing what the shopkeeper of Wangcai said, Xun Yu took it for granted. He praised the shopkeeper with his mouth, but his eyes were watching To Lv Bu and Cai Yan, it is obvious that there is a meaning of support.

"We want these two people. I don't know the price?" Lu Bu turned a blind eye to Xun Yu's gaze, and asked the shopkeeper Wangcai directly.Lu Bu had already handed over the affairs of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce to Cai Yan, so with Cai Yan's erudition, Lu Bu didn't need to worry about it.
