The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 237 The Nouveau riche and the prodigal son took advantage of it!
However, Li Muyun didn't make Dadu wait any longer. Not long after he left, the cell door was opened again, and a yamen servant walked in from outside, and opened the fence door of his cell himself: "Come out."

"Has Li Muyun finally couldn't help but want to kill me? I thought he would have a lot of tolerance." Dadu set his voice a little trembling, and said as he watched the yamen guard at the door of the cell remain motionless.

The yamen servant kicked the cell door impatiently, and shouted angrily: "Why are there so many nonsense, come out as soon as you are told, hurry up, don't force me in."

As the saying goes, a good man doesn’t suffer in the immediate aftermath. Although Dadu assumes that he must be greeted by a ghost knife after going out, he doesn’t want to be beaten again before being knifed, so despite some reluctance, he still drags his way out of the cell. He walked out from the inside and was escorted out of the cell by the yamen servant.

And this walk lasted for an entire hour, until finally, he was brought to a stinking place.

"From today onwards, your task is to raise pigs." A wooden barrel and a wooden spoon were thrown in front of Dadushe by the yamen servant, and after a hasty confession, the yamen servant covered his nose and wanted to leave.

"You, you insult this prince like this!" Dadu She thought that he was going to lose his head and was prepared to die, but it was unexpected that the yamen servant asked him to raise pigs. Looking at the wooden barrel and With the wooden spoon, an unknown fire rushed straight to the top door.

"It's just a thief who steals things! Don't think too highly of yourself." Weiyue turned his head and looked at Dadushe with disdain: "My master asked me to tell you that the pigs are well raised, and you can eat whatever you want. , if you don’t raise them well, you can eat whatever the pigs eat, and you can figure out where to go!”

I eat whatever pigs eat!I eat whatever pigs eat!Is there any difference?After thinking about it for a long time, he finally realized that what the yamen servant said was all nonsense.

"Ah...!" The inexplicable shame made Dadu set up an angry roar, grabbed the wooden spoon and threw it out viciously.

However, his venting came to an end, because just when he threw the wooden spoon, three strong men had already appeared behind him, kicking him to the ground without any explanation, and then It was an imperialist beating.

The poor second prince Xue Yantuo had also practiced martial arts before, so three or five strong men are not a problem to him at all.But being in captivity for a long time, coupled with only one gruel a day, has already emptied his body.Let alone three or five strong men, even an old man, he probably wouldn't be able to beat them.

After three rounds of fists and five flavors of kicks, seeing that Dadu set out more air and less air in, the three strong men withdrew their hands and feet and dragged him up from the ground: "Boy, I don't care who you are, I don't care who you are What is the origin, you have to listen to Lao Tzu when you are on the territory of Lao Tzu, do you understand!"

Da Du set nodded feebly, he really didn't have the strength to talk anymore, he could only let those guys dictate, listening to them explain his daily work, as for the rest... let's talk after finishing the work.

But don't tell me, this guy Li Muyun really does what he says. Ever since the day Dadu set came to the pig farm, no one has given him food. It seems that he really intends to eat what kind of pigs he eats. What.

……

In fact, the current state of the three thousand Xue Yantuo captives is no better than that of Dadu She. A daily meal of gruel is not enough to eat, but they can't starve to death, but they can completely wear down the person's body.

When Li Muyun saw the three thousand captives, he couldn't believe his eyes, there are no 3000 people here, they are simply three thousand evil spirits.

Those Xue Yantuo people didn't trim their appearance very much before, but now they are starved and skinny, Li Muyun already felt that he was praising them by saying that they were evil spirits.

"Muyun, look, these people are like this, can they still be used?" Fang Yi stood beside Li Muyun, asking worriedly.

"It can be used, as long as the nutrition can keep up, these people will recover quickly." Li Muyun looked at the trembling captives surrounded together, and said thoughtfully: "It's just that I'm worried about these The right to belong to the prisoners of war, don’t let me raise them well in the future, and then get them back by those people, then the gain will outweigh the loss.”

The right of ownership mentioned by Li Muyun refers to the fact that these [-] prisoners of war are registered with the frontier army, and if someone makes trouble for him in the future, these people must be returned.

Fang Yizhi expressed helplessness about this: "There is no way for this to happen. Who told you to be so generous at the beginning and send all these people to the frontier army. Now that lucky guy has been promoted to be a general, and he happens to be in charge of us. One piece, I didn’t forget to tell me when I left with people, it’s okay to be dead or disabled, but you must leave a corpse so that he can reconcile the account.”

"What's the matter? We can't make wedding dresses for others." Wang Jie just arrived at this time, and after hearing Fang Yizhi's words, he said hastily: "We don't run philanthropic halls. There is no reason for us to send people away." Raise it and give it back to them in the end."

"What else can we do if we don't pay them back? There are 3000 people here. You can't just kill them all just because you think you're at a disadvantage." Fang Yi spread his hands.

"Then..." Wang Jie seemed to want to say something else, but he didn't say it in the end.

"Buy it! Yizhi, you will have to work harder later, go to the frontier army and send them [-] coins, and say that we bought these prisoners of war."

"What?" As soon as Li Muyun's words fell, Wang Jie jumped up, pointed at the trembling Sanqian prisoners, and shouted anxiously, "Wuqian will buy them?"

"Yes! Isn't it only 3000 people? We can afford this amount of money." Li Muyun nodded without hesitation.

"It's one thing to be able to afford it, but it's another thing to waste the money." Wang Jie shouted with almost all his strength: "Don't forget that you only have more than 2 guan, not 2000 million guan , you are prodigal, do you know that!"

"Fuck you, why are there so many nonsense, and I didn't ask you to go, have you finished the open hearth furnace? If you haven't done it, go get it quickly, don't talk to me here." Li Muyun looked at Wang Jie, who was a little out of breath, and got angry Said.

"You..." Wang Jie was really pissed off by Li Muyun this time, he didn't say anything about you for a long time, and finally stomped his feet and turned around and left: "I don't care, what do you like? Anyway, it’s not my money!”

Fang Yizhi also felt that Li Muyun's handling of this matter was a bit hasty, and the price he gave was a bit high. Looking at Wang Jie who left angrily, he frowned and said, "Muyun, should you reconsider this matter? 3000 people are worth a thousand guan at most, and even if it is sold in Chang'an City, two thousand guan will be worth it, and the price you gave for [-] guan is a bit inflated."

"It's better to be falsely high, just for this price, you should hurry up and do this matter." Li Muyun patted Fang Yizhi's shoulder and didn't say much.

"Nouveau riche! Prodigal son! Take advantage of!" After listening to Li Muyun's words from beginning to end, Gongsun Lan made the following comment, in exchange for Li Muyun's big and hypocritical smile.

Fang Yi saw that Li Muyun had already made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Anyway, Li Muyun got the money by selling horses, so he can spend it as he likes.

……

After Fang Yizhi left, Li Muyun brought Gongsun Lan to the prisoners of war who were being held together, and said in the fearful eyes of the prisoners: "Did you hear what I just said? Five thousand guan, I have already bought you Come down, so from now on your life belongs to Lao Tzu."

"Why?" The commander who had a brief exchange with Li Muyun under the border city stood up and asked hesitantly as he looked at the surrounding Khitan cavalry who were gazing at them with swords.

"Because I have a kind heart and don't want to see others suffer." Li Muyun shrugged his shoulders, and then continued: "So you'd better be able to be worthy of the five thousand coins, and don't remember that I lost this business."

"What do you want us to do?" The commander didn't take Li Muyun's words seriously at all. He didn't believe that Li Muyun was a kind-hearted person at all. If that was the case, he should have released all 3000 people of his own, instead of boasting here.

But it turns out that the commander-in-chief did not guess wrong. Li Muyun said unhurriedly under his questioning: "Your task right now is to set up a construction team, mainly responsible for building houses. I will pay you according to how much work you do every day." You pay wages. If you do more, you will be paid more. If you do less, you will be paid less. Of course, if you want to make me lose [-] guan, you can do nothing, so that you can justly starve yourself to death As for me, I lost five thousand coins."

To be honest, the commander did not quite believe Li Muyun's words. This was the first time he had heard that someone would give money to prisoners of war or slaves. As for letting some people lose money, the commander had never thought about it at all. After all It's better to live than to die, and it's always worthless to use one's life to fight for the usual large amount of copper coins.

"If you don't speak, I will take it as if you agree with me. Is it okay for me to understand this?" Seeing that the commander did not speak, Li Muyun already knew what his choice would be.

But in fact, even a fool knows how to choose at this time. Between life and death, what to do is no longer important. After all, as long as there is life, there is hope.

And what Li Muyun just said was very clear, there is wages for work, and it is paid every day, which made the commander feel the sincerity of some people, because if this kind of thing is a scam, it will be exposed in just one day.

That is to say, they can completely follow Li Muyun's request now, and see the result after a day. If it doesn't match what some people said, then they can go back on their word.

These days, human life is as cheap as grass, and it is actually quite difficult to live. If you can really work and get paid..., the commander feels that staying in Datang or Shanyin County may not be a bad thing.
