Chapter 805: The Last Disciple
Running to a foreign country and assassinating a army from a country seemed like a completely impossible task, but Kou Zhun did it and it was done!
This is something that many people dare not imagine. Will a Han man run to a group of big cannibals reveal his feelings?
Kou Zhun was very smart and used the simplest method. He pretended to be mute. As long as he didn't speak, no one would listen to the voice. As for his appearance... There were many Turkic people in the Saman Dynasty, and later moved to the Khitans. Most of these tribes were yellow people. Kou Zhun, who had dark skin and dark eyes, not only would not attract attention, but on the contrary, he would only regard him as a pitiful dog of a wreckage.
Simple and direct, tough and decisive!
This is Kou Zhun’s first impression on Ye Hua.
"I also want to hear your opinion, how should we deal with big food?"
"One word! Fight!"
Kou Zhun was full of fighting spirit. He stretched out his fist and gritted his teeth and said, "Marty, do you know? There are endless plains in Talas. Although the Central Plains are large, they are not such a vast place. We must get it!"
Ye Hua did not deny that the Central Asian Plain is indeed mouth-watering, with a larger area than the North China Plain, and most of the precipitation is about 400 mm. In addition, it is flat and wide, which is very suitable for mechanical farming.
In addition, there are precious oil resources around the Caspian Sea, which is even more difficult to calculate value.
"How do you get it?"
"Turn the tiger and swallow the wolf!" Kou Zhun smiled and said, "The so-called three sieges are missing one. Beizhi feels that taking action directly will inevitably cause resistance from the locals. The losses are too great. It is better to change the method and expel them to Tianzhu!"
Ye Hua almost laughed, it turned out that this guy was also making a decision about Tianzhu!
I really deserve to be sad for my third brother!
"Tell me, what should I do?"
"This is easy. You can go to the Saman Dynasty to meet Musa again and promise that as long as he is willing to go to India, we can provide all logistics supplies!"
Ye Hua chuckled and said, "Do you still have the courage to see Musa after you killed his master?"
"Hahaha!" Kou Zhun laughed loudly, "Musa is a wolf. As long as it is profitable, even if I kill his son, he will only regard me as a guest of honor! If the Marquis can give me a letter of nationality, Bei Yi will definitely drive Musa to India!"
Ye Hua pondered: "Even if you can do this, what should the rest do if the rest of them? Don't forget that there are so many big cannibals, Turks, Khitans, and this large area of land is still not ours!"
"Then there is only one way: kill!"
"Who will kill?"
"Go and kill me!"
"Can you kill alone?"
"As long as the marquis agrees to grant me land, I will have a way to kill everyone!" Kou Zhun showed a cruel smile. His father Kou Xiang was a manor in the Later Jin Dynasty. His family was very rich, with fields and fields, and cattle and horses in his family. Kou Zhun's childhood days can be said to be proud of his youth!
So it is nonsense to say that Kou Zhun is very poor and is a great honest official! This guy is just a lawless playboy at heart.
However, their land was deprived of by Ye Hua and fell from heaven to earth. Kou Zhun never forgets it and restores his family business.
He knew very well that there was no hope in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I'm afraid there was only hope for the Western Regions.
Ye Hua pondered for a while, "You go on a mission first. If you return successfully, I will issue an order to encourage the soldiers to move westward!"
Kou Zhun's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately!
This guy was still impatient. He only took three days to prepare and took twenty people to the Saman Dynasty.
Shortly after Kou Zhun left, Ye Xi also came to report the results.
He exchanged the Turkic tribes for the abandoned armour and exchanged them with 100,000 slaves.
The little guy was happy, "Dad, this time I have a coolie to build the road. I have already written a letter to the King of Shang. The railway from the Western Regions to Kaifeng will start construction soon!"
Ye Hua smiled, "I did a good job, what will you do next?"
Ye Xi smiled and said, "Next, I'm going to increase the price!"
Ye Xi did some calculations for his father and exchanged with the Turkic tribe. One iron pot could exchange for two oxen, and one ox was worth five slaves!
On this land in the Western Regions, the most valuable thing is slaves!
One pot is equal to ten slaves!
How ridiculous this is!
Even if it is calculated based on the price of pork, people shouldn’t be so cheap!
But that's the truth!
"Next time I plan to sell it at the price of five slaves at a pot... Those Turks will definitely be tempted. If they have no slaves in their hands, they will catch them, cripple them, and cheat them! Use all kinds of means to meet the needs of slaves in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Let's put it this way, they are the hawks and dogs I raise! How about it, what's my way?"
Ye Xi really wanted to get his father's praise, but Ye Hua just chuckled twice, "Someone wants to make your lackey into dog meat hotpot!"
Ye Xi was stunned. Which bastard dared to fight me?
A month later, the bastard came back...Kou Zhun was happy.
"It's done!"
This is the first thing Kou Zhun said to Ye Hua, but Musa did not agree to march into India, but wanted to capture Baghdad!
He wants to reunify the food!
As long as Da Zhou can support him enough weapons, he can do it.
When the weapons were sent over, Musa would lead 200,000 tents to advance westward and leave the Saman Dynasty's garrison to the Great Zhou.
“This is a good business.”
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Where are those Khitans? Are they interested? If they have one, they might as well march west too!"
Kou Zhun immediately smiled, "The Marquis is really aware of things! The Khitans do have this plan... I think they are afraid of being beaten by the Marquis, and they are eager to escape as far as possible!"
"Well, don't worry about these guys for now. Let's talk about those lands! All soldiers who have made contributions in the Western Regions can be assigned a piece of land around Talas! What do you think?"
Kou Zhun thought for a while and shook his head, "Marty, I think it's inappropriate... I think the imperial court should not limit the meritorious soldiers, nor should it be specified in size... It's best to release people and ignore anything. How big the territory can be seized and how much land can be cultivated depends on your ability!"
Ye Hua smiled, "Kou Zhun, is this opening the door for you?"
This guy yelled twice, without refuting!
"Okay! I'll add two more. Anyone who kills a barbarian can use his head to exchange for five taels of silver! The occupied land, cultivated for more than five years, belongs to me, and the court grants the land deeds free of charge!"
Kou Zhun waved his fist excitedly, "That's great!"
The guy paused and said, "Mr. Marquis, this is the first one to exchange for money for people. It is best to claim that it is Hu Zhi's attention... And his head is too big, Hu Zhi thinks that just a scalp is enough!"
...
Just as Ye Hua's big pen stroke, the westward movement officially kicked off... In the past, whether it was immigrating to Liaodong or the Western Regions, there were still some rules. The court would provide support and protection. After the immigration settled, it would establish a yamen and guard the side according to the management model of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But this time it is different. I only let people go and solve the other difficulties by myself.
Because of this, the focus of immigration has changed from ordinary people to soldiers, especially children of generals and young officers.
Take Yang Ye for example. With his contribution, at most, Yin's son is an official, and he will be allowed to study in the military academy... The other sons can only rely on their own efforts.
The children of generals in the army crossed the Pamir Mountains, and the veterans who were about to retire also picked up their guns.
A gun, a bag to travel to the world!
In the first year, nearly 100,000 pieces of head cover were sent to the Western Regions Protectorate, and 500,000 taels of silver were exchanged!
And the 500,000 taels of silver quickly became more arms, even tiger squat cannons... Some people used the money to hire veterans and pulled up teams of hundreds of people.
The Turks went south to India and Musa entered Baghdad. The vacuum area left behind was more than one hundred musketeers, so they could be unscrupulous.
Kou Zhun brought up a team of 1,300 people and occupied the same size as two counties!
In the past year, Kou Zhun and Ye Xi have become enemies of tit-for-tat.
Ye Xi looked down on Kou Zhun's rudeness, and Kou Zhun was not used to Ye Xi's hesitation and calculating!
Finally, the two started arguing!
"Reckless man! Do you know how valuable manpower is? You will only send a bunch of squids back. What's the use?" Ye Xi blamed him.
Kou Zhun sneered: "Young Master, I want to bring people back, but there is no way. I can't afford to raise prisoners, and I can't send them back. I'll catch one, kill one, kill one, and peel one, and send them back every six months to settle the bill, which is the most worry-free!"
"Absurd!" Ye Xi said angrily: "If you kill all the people, what else can we make? How many people are left in such a large area of land? What do the imperial court do for nothing?"
"Stay it, I think it's quite pleasing to the eye anyway!" Kou Zhun said with a smile: "Young Master, if you are interested, go to my manor! It's endless! There are three counties as big as a big one!"
Three months ago, it was still two counties, and this guy was expanding fast enough!
"Kou Zhun, your approach is simply a waste of resources and is very uneconomical! Smart people should use the barbarians to squeeze out more oil and water from them instead of simply erasing them! Do you understand?"
"don't know!"
Kou Zhun squinted his eyes and said disdainfully: "I didn't say that I was a smart person. When I was young, my father taught me to farm and pass on my family. When I entered the army, he taught me to obey orders. Kou Zhun did things straight! I just looked at the barbarians and killed them all. The empty land may not be used for the time being... But what about three years, five years, ten years, eight years? Sooner or later! I knew that nothing is valuable in land!"
"You, you are stubborn! You are just a rustic hat!"
The so-called scholar meets a soldier, but it doesn’t make sense. It’s Ye Xi!
The little guy came to Ye Hua angrily, "Dad, you can't let Kou Zhun make trouble anymore, he doesn't know anything!"
Chapter completed!
