The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 411 Four hundred four: The caravan returned to China (0)
There are quite a few people in this caravan now!Duan Wuji and his caravan plus the Turkic people brought by Yelu Hengtong and the others, there are more than 200 people in total!

But the power of many people is great!With so many people pounding the horses, the caravan was moving south very fast!

When the sun was about to press down on the mountain, the caravan had already arrived at the pass of the Great Wall.

Duan Wuji stepped forward and shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the border: "Soldier brothers, we are back, quickly open the gate and let us pass."

The soldiers, who all knew them, immediately removed the barricade and let them in.

The troops of the brigade rushed into the pass, and the leader who guarded the pass smiled and said, "Boss Duan, you have been away for more than a month!

How did it take so long?There have been several official documents from above to ask questions! "

"Hi! Don't mention it, the business is not going well this time, so I wasted some time.

Let you bother more!There is nothing we can do about it! "

Duan Wuji waved and called Yelu Hengtong and his three brothers over.

"In ten days or 20 days, my three friends are going to bring some goods out of the customs, please make it easy for you!

If you agree, I don't have to go there myself. "

"Duantou, don't worry about this, as long as you say this, don't worry about it, if you pass my pass, nothing will happen.

You don't have to come here yourself. "

"Well, that's fine.

Hey, Brother Yelu, get them the cows we brought!
Let them kill and eat meat!

It's hard enough for the brothers to guard this side of the border, and they can't eat any good food for a long time. Let them improve their lives too! "

After hearing this, Yelu Hengtong waved at the people he had brought over, and the Turkic people who followed him immediately rushed over fifteen cows.

The head guard was very happy when he saw it.

"Duantouer, are all these cows given to us?

Thank you so much, we'll be eating for days now! "

The chief guard looked at his soldiers and said with a smile: "How about it! You see how generous he is!

This time I will give us more than ten cows at once. You should remember that this is called convenience for others and convenience for yourself.

We are all like you, we must all drink the northwest wind!

Hurry up, blast these cows into our barracks, it's time to improve life again. "

After Duan Wuji and the others gave the cattle herd to these soldiers, they immediately drove the horse herd straight into the pass!

After walking not too far, the sun was setting over the mountain. They found a very big hotel to live in, and all the expenses were paid by Duan Wuji and the others.

It's useless, Yelusi paid them a penny!

In the morning of the next day, people got up early, had breakfast, settled the shop money and set off early.

After eight or nine days of hard work, at noon this day, the caravan finally arrived at a place about forty or fifty miles away from Taiyuan City.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, hurry up and ride to the city of Taiyuan, let that Chai Shao pick us up!"

Tieniu agreed and galloped away, and the caravan continued on its way.

When the caravan was still more than ten miles away from Taiyuan City, Tie Niu led Chai Shao and dozens of people to pick it up.

"Brother, you are back, but you miss me to death.

I didn't expect you to go away for nearly two months!

How is it, business is good this time!
Ouch!Yelu Chucai, the three of you brothers are here too!And brought so many people here, they must also want to do business! "

Yelu Chucai has been to Taiyuan Mansion many times, and he is quite familiar with Na Chai Shao.

"Brother Chai, needless to say! How can we just stay at home? We also want to earn two dollars to spend!"

"Really? That's good! Business exchanges are beneficial to both our countries!

Everyone, let's go!Help us drive the horses to the stables. "

Yelu Chucai laughed and said: "This is necessary, let's go, if you don't help with such a small favor, then why are we still called friends!
Hey, Brother Chai, how far are we from that stable! "

"It's not far away, it's about twenty miles away, and we'll be there in a little while."

Chai Shao led the crowd straight to the place where the horses had been found in advance.

Twenty miles away, that's really what you said!

The place where the horses are kept is an abandoned forage field in the north of the city, covering an area of ​​[-] to [-] mu, and the walls are framed by soil.

The people drove the horses to the fence in the yard, they were busy fetching water to drink the horses, throwing hay into the fence, and they were so busy that they were confused.

After working for a long time, people came to relax. Chai Shao looked at the horses and said with a smile: "Brother, how many horses did we sell this time?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "This time we sold more than 8000 horses!"

"Ah? So much! Now we should get rich again!
Brothers, you have contributed a lot this time!

Dear Brothers, you have worked hard, please wait a moment!The meal I asked for arrived in a little while. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, please ask for some more vegetarian dishes. Brother Yelu and the others eat meat every day on the prairie. Let them have some vegetarian dishes for a change."

Yelu Chucai laughed and said, "Brother, you still understand us!

If you don't say it, I still want to mention it! "

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "If you want to eat some vegetarian dishes, why not say so!
Chaihuo, you go to that restaurant and ask them to cook more vegetarian dishes.

In addition, you see that they have four NO.50 people here, you tell them to bring more food and come here, don't have enough food. "

"Oh, I see."

After speaking, Chai Huo rode on the horse and ran out.

Duan Wuji looked at these car owners and said: "This time you have been out with me for a long time, and you have worked hard along the way.

Come back this time, the fare for each of you will be 100 taels of silver!
I said that I will not treat you badly, then I will definitely not treat you badly!

Brother Changqing, how much money you have on you, share it with them!

It's almost the same, let's make up for it from our car! "

When the car owners heard that they had given 100 taels of silver, they were all overjoyed.

Duan Changqing and Tie Niu listened, and counted the silver they had on their bodies, and there were a total of three thousand and twenty taels.

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Let's send it down! Those who are not enough count down from our car."

After a while, 7000 taels of silver were distributed.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Yelu and the others still need forty carriages, whoever wants to go, please register later."

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Follow us out, we won't treat you badly.

You guys should be happy to earn money for two trips this time, right?

After dinner, sign up again! "

These guards asked with a smile: "Young Master Chai, how much money do you give each of us?"

Chai Shao laughed and said, "I don't care about this matter, Wuji is willing to give you as much as you want.

It stands to reason that your silver should be 50 taels, and you know this in your heart.

Did you forget what we said when we left? "

"Duantou, it's not easy for us on this road! Look how good we are on duty on this road!

Money has been added to this car, so you won't treat us badly, will you?

Duan Duan, you can do it all right, the elderly and children of our family are all counting on this two money to live!

You must not give us less!We beg you. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's really good that you are on duty this time, why don't you give 100 taels to each of you!
What's next?Do we still use you? "

After hearing this, the nurses put their hearts into their stomachs.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, brother Changqing, count the money for them!

Zaoqing has already been dismissed early, but let me tell you, you will still be on duty for two or three days, until all the horses are handed over, you can go home again. "

"Mr. Duan, what's wrong with this! Even if you give us 50 taels of silver, we have to finish our shift!

If it's half a set, who will use us in the future? "

Tieniu and the others heard this, and immediately counted another 500 taels of silver and gave them to them.

These people got so much money, let alone their joy!
Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, didn't these three cars bring us silver! Let's give them another 40 taels of silver!

What's the matter, we can't let them pull it for us! "

After everything was paid off, there were still 5000 taels of 400 taels of silver left.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "In a while, you can transport the rest of the money to Chaifu for us!

Come down and let's deal with other things! "

Time was running out, Chai Huo led the restaurant staff and came back pushing nine wheelbarrows.

The restaurant staff unloaded the tables, chairs and benches, and then put the food on the table.

Ho!Although it is made in a small restaurant, the food is also very rich!

There are more than a dozen tables in total!There are no less than dozens of meat and vegetable dishes on each table!

The staple food is flatbread, which is far from the best banquet for ordinary people.

After the people were full, Duan Wuji said to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, find them a hotel to stay in later.

Now that they are here, we should take good care of them, after all we are all friends! "

Chai Shao laughed and said, "No problem, it's a trivial matter.

Brother, don't worry about this matter, just leave it to my brother and me. "

After eating, the restaurant staff packed up the leftovers and left.

The car owners who wanted to continue to go to the Turkic sports car ran over and greeted Chai Shao one by one!

There is money to be earned, who would not want to go?

After saying hello, these car owners drove away one after another.

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and said: "Brother Chai, have you greeted the left-behind envoy? When do you think our horses will be handed over?"

"I greeted you a long time ago, the left-behind envoy has asked you many times, and I'm just waiting for these horses!

Don't worry, they will come tomorrow morning, so don't worry about that.

To be honest, they are more anxious than us. "

"Well, that's fine!"

"Several virtuous brothers! You have to work hard for another night!
See you tomorrow morning! "

After speaking, Chai Shao led two silver carts and left with Yelu Hengtong and the others.
