Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 26 Recruiting staff
One thousand seven hundred catties of coarse salt, eighty bolts of fine cloth, four hundred and thirty-one bolts of linen and Gebu, more than three hundred stones of wheat, and more than three hundred stones of corn.

Twelve taels of silver collars, thirteen pieces, three hundred and fifty guan coins, more than four hundred catties of bacon, and eighty catties of butter.

There are seven Tubo armored collars, three Tang-style infantry armored collars, fifty long spears, ten bows, and many other items that have not been counted in time.

This is Ge Duo's treasury for 20 years, don't feel short, the three hundred and fifty pennies alone is an astronomical sum.

At this time, a bucket of corn in Guasha and Erdi was less than twelve renminbi, but Tang was a thousand-legged guan, so it was always worth a thousand renminbi.

Then the usual money can buy almost 84 buckets of grain. In the Tang Dynasty, one bucket was 84 and a half catties, and [-] buckets of grain was equivalent to [-] catties of rice.

Three hundred and fifty pennies can buy 36 catties of rice, or 37 tons for future generations. Calculated at two catties of rice per day for an adult at this time, it would be enough to feed an army of 1000 people for more than half a year.

And this is what Ge Duo accumulated by exploiting more than [-] shepherd slaves, Zhou Paopi is not enough to describe this dog.

In the open space outside the stone building, hundreds of people gathered here, all of them buried their heads in their mouths, and no one spoke.

The meals are also very simple, just a small piece of meat for each person, and a large bowl of corn and rice with salt and ghee, but for these shepherds who don't even have enough vegetables all the year round, it is so rich that it cannot be added.

However, among these shepherds, the stronger ones had bruised noses and swollen faces. This was just because Zhang Zhao ordered them to beat them for not obeying the rules, grabbing food and eating too much.

But the group of people closest to the stone building was a little different. Although they were young and strong, they ate women and children first, but they were orderly.

At this time, their young and strong had already eaten and were drinking butter tea. A broken wooden bowl was passed down one by one, and whoever passed it to could scoop a bowl of butter tea from the cauldron.

"Dun Zhu! Don't drink that butter tea, Dong Dai told you to go in, sweet tea is enough!" Just as a thick shepherd was taking over the wooden bowl, Qiong Re Duo Jin came out and shouted.

The shepherds around were amazed, sweet tea!Sweet tea with sugar and honey in it is an absolute luxury in the Qilian Mountains, and ordinary people will never have a chance to drink a cup in their lifetime.

Dunzhu thought for a while, and still scooped out a bowl full of buttered tea from the cauldron.

"My sister, you and my mother drink mine!"

The sister behind Dunzhu didn't even think about it, she took the butter tea suddenly and inhaled it in a storm, but just after taking two sips, the grandmother next to her snatched the wooden bowl and drank it up in three or two gulps.

Dunzhu didn't think there was anything wrong, under the extreme poverty, this kind of scrambling was the norm in Qilian Mountains, every bite would give him more hope of survival, even between mother and child, this was often the case .

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Dunzhu followed Qiong Re Duojin into the stone building. There was a firepit buried in the stone building. In the middle of the firepit, the flames were wantonly licking a huge copper pot. Ge Duo Daqian's family used it exclusively, but now it's the tall Tang'er Dongdai's.

"Mr. Erlang rewards a bowl of Dunzhu sweet tea!" Dunzhu had just walked in, kowtowed to Tanger Dongdai, and an old man in a leather robe handed Dunzhu a large bowl of sweet tea.

so sweet!Dunzhu took three or two sips and it was almost bottomed out. He had never drank such a delicious thing in his life. The sweet taste was beyond his imagination in the past 20 years. After one sip, he felt so refreshed that he almost trembled Woke up.

"Dong Dai! Can servant go out for a while?" After thinking for a while, Dun Zhu nervously made a request.

Zhang Zhao stood up and walked in front of the shepherd who was supposed to be from Tubo. Why did he invite the shepherds outside to eat? Firstly, to appease them, and secondly, to select some warriors for him to use.

When Dun Zhu was serving dinner just now, the place he was in was the most orderly, and even the children listened to his greetings. Compared with other places that used sticks and whips to maintain order, it was undoubtedly very eye-catching.

This is talent!
"It's good to call Mr. Erlang, let's go!" Zhang Zhao nodded, indicating that Dunzhu could go out, and he wanted to see what this guy was going to do.

After another kowtow, Dun Zhu went out with a small half bowl of sweet tea, maybe she was full at last, Dun Zhu's younger sister didn't rush to gobble it up, but tasted it carefully, and the grandmother beside her didn't Came over to grab the bowl, finally showing a kind expression on his face.

There was also a smile on Zhang Zhao's face.

In the stone building, after Dunzhu came back, the atmosphere became more lively. Although there were pools of blood on the ground that had not been cleaned up, three hours ago, dozens of people from Ge Duo's family were also killed here, but it didn't affect them at all. Those present here eat meat and drink alcohol.

Large pieces of beef, fat and tender lamb chops, beef head stewed with pepper, pepper, and dried dogwood, and beef offal.

The millet wine and ale wine stored in Ge Duo's library were also brought out, sweet tea?No one drinks sweet tea anymore, but who still drinks tea when there is wine!

"Everyone! After today, I'm going to send Mrs. Cao back to Dunhuang. This place, Guasha, is not where I lived for a long time.

The Kingdom of Jin is prosperous and prosperous, and the emperor is also the uncle of a certain person. A certain person is going to join him. You are all heroes. Are you willing to follow a certain person to make contributions? Zhang Zhao squatted down with a bowl of millet wine and stood up.

"Mr. Erlang, a certain Qiuci Bai Congxin, is willing to go through fire and water with Mr. Erlang!" Bai Congxin was the first to come out to express his opinion, and at the same time there were about thirty people who knelt down on one knee behind him. These people were Uighur horse thieves, It looks like Bai Congxin has been selected.

There is no way around this, although Zhang Zhao subdued them in Qi Xiahu's cottage by force, but compared to Bai Congxin, Zhang Zhao is still an outsider, they are willing to choose Bai Congxin as the leader to join Zhang Zhao, This is the best result so far.

And this is more in line with the current tradition. This is the fifth generation of the Caotou King with a gun. The emperor changed like a revolving door. At the same time, there were many Jiedu envoys who were killed by the soldiers and generals below. It belongs to the real ceremony. Bad.

As the leader, Zhang Zhao used Bai Congxin to obtain the loyalty of the subordinates. In the eyes of later generations, this is absolutely intolerable, but in this era, it is precisely the most common model.

"Qiongre Duojin is also willing to follow Mr. Erlang to the Kingdom of Jin!" The second person who came out and knelt on one knee was Qiongre Duojin, and there were more than twenty people behind him.

Among these people, twelve or three were members of horse thieves, and the others were pulled out from the tribe by Joong Re Duojin.

This is actually the biggest reason why Zhang Zhao is willing to let Qiongre Duojin go. If he throws away Qiongre Duojin, then Ge Duo's gang of horse thieves will probably be pulled over by Bai Congxin. For Zhang Zhao , but very unfavorable.

After the two expressed their attitudes, the rest of the people fell silent. Among the Uighur horse thieves there were more than [-] people. blind tiger.

Zhang Zhao didn't think it was such a surprise. This was the real situation he was facing now. He was talented and famous, but Zhang Zhong and Yin Yaozi were the only confidantes who were willing to entrust his wealth and life to him.

"Mr. Erlang, Huang Yang'er's relatives are all in the upper reaches of the Ganquan River. Nomads have been here for hundreds of years. I really can't bear to abandon it. If Lord Erlang calls in Guasha in the future, I will never refuse!"
