Chapter 108 The minister has some ideas (debt repayment 8/34)

Yang Shaofeng finished the entire process of Xing Baima's oath in boredom, which was basically the same as the plots in those film and television dramas.

A good white horse was bleeding, and several wolf-tooth arrows that he had finally made were broken. Then Alutai, Mahamu, Taiping and Tuboluo swear in a striking way, saying that he would definitely abide by the oath, otherwise he would do whatever he wanted.

No one cares about the feeling of the white horse.

Almost everyone is concerned about one thing.

Benefits, including but not limited to silver.

For the three brothers Arutai and Mahamu and those tribe leaders, all the bullshit vows are just that. How can we get benefits from labor policies be true.

After all, you, Yang Dianma, want labor, and we support you so strongly. Are you embarrassed to not increase the share of salt, tea and iron a little more?

Not to mention that in addition to these things, there are real wages. Yang Shaofeng directly settled the bill with the three brothers Alutai and Mahamu and the tribe leaders, and then they settled with the herdsmen. Yang Shaofeng never asked about how much handling fees or agency fees were deducted in the middle.

Then Yang Shaofeng watched the entire border city become a huge construction site, and teams of herders gathered here from different directions, and then began to lay the foundation and build the city under the leadership of the Han master.

In order to ensure that these workers can finish the work on the construction site well, Yang Shaofeng was also bleeding. Not only did he have soup made from big bones for every meal, but even the salt used was normal, the type without any added.

In addition to the border city, brick kilns, cement kilns and steelmaking furnaces have also been set up, and various materials are constantly being produced. In addition to supplying them to the construction site, some of the remaining production capacity has been pulled within the Great Wall for resale.

Everything is for money.

There was no way, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Xia Laoxiao said he would give him 100,000 taels, but in the end he really only gave him 100,000 taels, not even a penny of copper coins.

A hundred thousand young man is a man who is calculated based on a salary of fifteen cents a day. One tael of silver is only one thousand cents. How many days can it last? How long does it take for the border city to expand into a giant city like Luoyang and Chang'an?

In desperation, Yang Shaofeng had no choice but to resell things while making money while building a city.

If it weren't for the damn Bianshi City, it was located outside the Great Wall and was surrounded by Mai Duo's grandson, and Yang Shaofeng even wanted to develop the real estate business of Bianshi City.

...

Zhu Gaoxu, who felt as if his throat was already burning, licked his lips, barely getting a little wet feeling through his saliva, then pulled out his sabre and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Follow me!"

After chasing for several days, Zhu Gaoxu finally touched the tails of Ma Duo and others. At this time, Ma Duo had surrounded Ma Heimu and other envoys from Turpan, intending to kill Ma Heimu and others first, and then blame the Ming Dynasty.

The 30,000 elite cavalry, plus the 30,000 Tatar cavalry and 3,000 Oar cavalry, the vibration and sand caused by the charge of the cavalry of a total of 36,000 cavalry directly made the entire sky darker.

Liu Shaochong looked up at the dust rising from the distance, sighed helplessly and said, "Run, it is probably the Ming cavalry who chased him, and he failed again this time!"

Mai Duo had a gloomy face and stared at the hundreds of guards of the Turpan mission that were almost finished. He snorted coldly and stared at Liu Shaochong and said, "Is this what you call your plan? Failure again and again?"

Liu Shaochong shouted: "If you hadn't had to take the army to find the so-called water source, and we would have slaughtered them long ago and fled far away!"

Mai Duo, who was unwilling to accept it, spat hatefully, "I won't leave, just do it with them here! If you can't kill that Yang Dianmai, can't you even kill a Turpan mission?"

Young Master Liu glanced at the beads and sneered: "Then see if you are cruel enough."

Pointing to the escort cavalry and the Maiduan cavalry who had been fighting together, Liu Shaochong grinned and said, "Now, only a wave of arrows is needed to cover them, and these Turpan missions will die, and then we can leave."

Maiduo snorted, "What's the use? We don't have time to pack up our arrows. The people in Turpan are not fools. Can't they see that?"

Liu Shaochong, who was vicious enough but did not understand military affairs, was stunned. He simply turned his horse's head on his own and sneered: "Stay the green mountains here, and don't worry about the lack of firewood.

Since it’s useless to kill them, then leave quickly, otherwise you will be waiting to be caught up by the Ming cavalry and drag you to death with war horses. Then, what will be the revival of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the revival of Dadu? Let’s be your dream of a great future!"

Although he really didn't want to admit it, Mai Duo also knew that Liu Shaochong was telling the truth, so he had to give a gloomy face and ordered: "Blow the horn and retreat!"

The sound of ox horns spread far to the battlefield. Hundreds of Maidu cavalry who had strangled together with the guards of Turpan regiments were stunned, and then shouted and evacuated from the battlefield and fled far away in the direction of the sound of horns.

By the time Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the battlefield, Maidu's troops had already escaped for a long distance, leaving only the sand and dust rising and falling slowly in the distance, which proved that Maiduo successfully ran away again.

Zhu Gaoxu, who arrived in a hurry, looked at the corpse of the bad guys and the Turpan mission that had survived death. He couldn't help but spat and ordered to the deputy general Bi Rong: "Chase!"

Bi Rong shook his head and said, "There is no way to chase. Now he is about to reach the territory of Turpan. Once he has passed Jinshan, it will be Yilibali. Going westward, there will be the countries of the Western Regions. Your Highness has brought a total of 30,000 elite cavalry. If you accidentally provoke a dispute at that time, I am afraid that Mai Duo and Liu Shaochong will laugh secretly."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, then said with some reluctance: "Then watch them run away? Oh my god, I have been chasing you for so long, but I didn't expect that I could only save so many missions, but I couldn't kill those two bastards!"

Bi Rong's eyes rolled, he chuckled, and then whispered: "Actually, isn't this just right?"

Zhu Gaoxu said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it and let it go. Learn less about those poor and slack things. Do you think you are Yang Dianmama. He is the top scorer in the six songs, and you are Qiu Ba!"

Bi Rong laughed and said, "Of course, I dare not compare with the top scholar, but compared with the dog thief Liu Shaocong, I am much stronger."

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, Bi Rong, who was bored, continued, "Since we can't catch up, let them run away.

Beizhi felt that they would definitely not dare to run to Turpan and Yili, unless they were tired of living."

Zhu Gaoxu spat and said, "Nonsense, they are cavalry, and this place is already in the desert. They are fighting with the natives here, and they don't take advantage of the time, place, and people, so wouldn't they seek death?"

Bi Rong laughed and said, "So, they must have to flee westward to the Western Regions. It is said that there are many small countries over there and their troops are not strong. The thousands of cavalrymen in Mai Duo's hands are enough to run rampant.

Let's just watch, when they make the trouble over there, it's best to make the world angry and resentful, we will punish the people and punish them again. Wouldn't it be a beautiful country?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked at Birong unexpectedly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you would have such a trick? But have you ever thought about it? What if they don't stop and go west?"

Bi Rong said suspiciously: "I don't know what it is going west? I'm going west. But even if they want to go, the countries in the middle will let them go? Don't you still have to fight first? Wait for the real fire to be fired. I guess that Mai Duo and Liu Shaochong won't think about anything going west again. At that time, will you make wedding dresses for our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction, and was about to praise Bi Rong for a few words, but saw that Ma Heimu and the Turpan delegation had already arrived in their direction. He had to pat Bi Rong on the shoulder and smiled and said, "You think carefully and wait until you go back and take some time to study it."

After praising Bi Rong, Zhu Gaoxu went to Ma Heimu and others, and accepted Ma Heimu and others' gratitude, Zhu Gaoxu looked suspicious and said, "What's going on with you? Why did you get into Ma Duo? Of course, you may also be implicated by this king."

Ma Heimu said with a confused look on his face: "Is that group of people called Mai Duo? But the ministers don't know what's going on. They are about to return to Turpan, but they are intercepted and killed by the group. I don't know what your highness is involved?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Maiduo offended Dadao, and offended Tatars and Oirat. Now there is no place for him to live on the grassland. I brought troops to chase Maiduo.

I guess it was this group of people who saw that your mission was about to return to China, so they planned to kill you and frame the Ming Dynasty?"

Ma Heimu quickly waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, you can't say that. Mai Duo was convicted of Daming because he was seeking death. The reason why he intercepted us was probably not to frame us, but to kill people and seize treasures."

Pointing to the team of people who were not left behind, Ma Heimu looked sad: "The subordinates suffered this disaster and lost a lot of treasures. I don't know how to explain to the king, life and fate!"

Zhu Gaoxu also sighed with Ma Heimu, and then said, "Since this is the case, it is better for me to prepare a book. You can take it back to your country and country. It is also an explanation, how about it?"

After thanking Zhu Gaoxu first, Ma Heimu continued to ask: "I wonder what your highness plans next? Are you going to continue chasing Mai Duo?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "Since he has escaped here, it is God's will. I might as well go back to the army and let me talk about it later."
