Chapter 108: Ambition
In Juliguan Barracks, in Gao Yuan’s bedroom, sixteen boxes are neatly stacked in the middle, surrounded by boxes, besides Gao Yuan, there are also Cao Tiancheng, Sun Xiao, Yan Haibo, infantry, these four people are also Gao Yuan now The most fundamental team.
Stretching his feet to pick up a box, Gao Yuan sat on it, smiled and said to the four people: "Sit, sit, this battle is over, there are too many things, we need to summarize, discuss, and find some countermeasures Come on, everyone, don’t hide it, just say what you have.”
Following Gao Yuan's example, each took a mouthful of a box and sat under their buttocks, but when they thought of the value of the box under their buttocks, the four of them couldn't help but feel like pins and needles. Any box here, the things contained in it, are worth at least They are all in the tens of thousands or even more. Half a year ago, the four of them were still worrying about survival, but in the blink of an eye, they became out-and-out super rich.
"Let's talk about the contents of these boxes first!" Gao Yuan smiled, and slapped the boxes with his hands, "Sixteen, I'm going to hand over six to the county, and I'll tell them that this time there are a total of There are twelve such boxes, and He Lanxiong got six of them."
The four of them looked at each other, Gao Yuan said that he was going to swallow ten boxes.
"There are still ten, you say, what should we do? Do you want to divide it, or what?" Gao Yuan looked at the four of them, with a smile on his face.
The four people looked at each other, ten boxes, if they really wanted to share, Gao Yuan would naturally take the lead, the four people present could get at least one box, and in this life, they would not have to worry about food and drink.
The room was silent for a while, Cao Tiancheng stood up, opened the box under his buttocks, the box under his buttocks was filled with all kinds of jewels, the value far surpassed the box full of gold and silver, looking at these valuables, he smiled , "It is indeed a great fortune. With these, I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. At least I can be a rich man."
Yan Haibo raised his head and looked at Cao Tiancheng in surprise.
Cao Tiancheng's gaze swept across the crowd slowly, "But, I don't want it!" He said firmly.
"What do I want? No matter how much money I have, it can't make me feel safe." He raised his head and looked at the roof, tears welling from the corners of his eyes, "This time, my family was almost ruined. I got down, but my wife left me forever. When I saw my house burning in flames, when I saw Donghu people wielding machetes raging on our land, I understood. There is a reason, without great strength, you can only be bullied, money cannot give me a sense of security, only a big sword can make me feel at ease. I will leave it to Bing Cao.”
Yan Haibo jumped up, "I don't want it either. I'm an orphan, I have nothing to worry about, I don't know where to hide this money, and I have to be careful that someone comes and cuts my neck in the middle of the night. Snatch the money, I don't worry about it, I will give it to Bing Cao, let Bing Cao take care of it, I, follow Bing Cao, just like fighting, follow Bing Cao , Bingcao knocked people down, I was responsible for cutting off the head, how happy it is!"
Gao Yuan laughed loudly: "You want to take advantage of it, and you have taken advantage of it!"
Yan Haibo moved closer to Gao Yuan with a shy face, "Who made you the boss? The boss doesn't care about this, who cares about it? I, anyway, I will follow the boss and be your younger brother."
Sun Xiao smiled and said: "When Bing Cao didn't come, although I was the head of the capital, I was in charge of the food and drink of these hundred people. I was a soldier, but I was more like a rascal. In order to get money, I would pick up dirty things. I've thought about all the ways,
I have done a lot of things that were evil even to myself. I have never felt the dignity of a soldier. At that moment, I was very proud. In the past, when we were stationed at Juliguan, when Donghu people came to loot, we were like shrinking turtles. That was as happy as it is now. People live for a lifetime, and the grass and trees fall in autumn. Taking this money may be very comfortable in the future, but it will never make me feel happy and proud. Even if we have money, we will still be like a dog in front of those noble people Similarly, Bing Cao is very human. From the beginning when you used your own money to pay everyone, buy weapons and clothing for everyone, I knew that Bing Cao would definitely be able to do great things in the future. This money can only be used in the hands of Bing Cao. The role of his application. My part is also handed over to Bing Cao. "
After the three of them finished speaking, they turned their eyes to the infantry, who smiled and said slowly: "I can't say what Big Brother Sun said, just say one thing, I will do whatever Bing Cao asks me to do, Bing Cao is asking me to go and do something now." County Wei and County Magistrate Wu, I also mounted my horse and left without hesitation, and I overturned them with one arrow."
"Infantry, don't talk nonsense!" Cao Tiancheng jumped up in fright, and reached out to cover the infantry's mouth. But the infantry laughed and turned away.
Gao Yuan nodded with great satisfaction, "Brothers, to be honest, I do have some ideas about the money, but if you want to share it, I will share it with you without hesitation. Since everyone said so, I will also say To be honest, I don’t want this money either.”
"You don't want it either, so who will go for the cheap one?" All four of them shouted.
"I don't want them because they don't belong to me alone, but to our brothers." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
The four of them looked at Gao Yuan, dumbfounded and unable to speak a word.
"If you want to divide him, I will take it for granted, but it's a pity, but since the big guys don't want it, then with this money, we can do a lot of things." Gao Yuan looked at the four of them and said : "Sun Xiao said it well, people live a lifetime, and the grass and trees fall in autumn. If we can't leave something in this world, we will be very regretful and unwilling, but if we want to leave something, we must have a strong heart. Our strength, this money, can make our strength take a big step forward."
Pushing open the window, pointing out the window, Gao Yuan said loudly: "Outside us, there is endless land, but they belong to Donghu people. These barbarians have fertile land, vast grasslands, towering mountains, endless We know nothing about production, we only know how to plunder, we don’t know how to build, we only know how to destroy. We Dayan people have worked hard to build our own homeland, but we have to worry day and night that they will come to snatch our fruits. What? Isn’t it because we don’t have the strength to protect ourselves? If we have a strong army, are we still afraid of them coming? As long as we have a strong army, we don’t have to worry about them coming, we can also grab these fertile lands Come back, Master Zhang Shouyue was able to build a Liaoxi County back then, why can’t we go forward, keep moving forward, and build a Liaodong County or even a bigger place?"
Cao Tiancheng's hands trembled slightly, he didn't expect Gao Yuan to have such wild thoughts. Sun Xiao was trembling with excitement, geese left their voices, and people left their names. If Gao Yuan could really do what he said, then, following Gao Yuan behind him, his Sun Xiao's name would definitely be left in history.
Yan Haibo smiled without saying a word, the infantry blinked their eyes, for the two of them, it didn't matter what they wanted to do, they just had to follow Gao Yuan.
"But right now, we don't need this money!" Gao Yuan patted the boxes, "Right now we have enough funds for use, Tian Cheng, first hide this money, and when the opportunity is right, we will will use him."
"Bingcao, these boxes are buried in Bingcao's bedroom." Cao Tiancheng nodded heavily, "Sun Xiao, tomorrow, you take the soldiers out of the customs in the name of practice, Xiaoyan and the infantry stay to help me, we will Bury these ten boxes."
"Okay!" Sun Xiao nodded.
"That's it!" Gao Yuan said, "We will keep some cattle and sheep, and hand over the rest to the county. The best war horses will keep 300 horses, and the other 200 horses will also be handed over to the county. Spoils of war."
"Bing Cao, what are we doing with the three hundred horses?" Cao Tiancheng asked.
"Because I want to build a cavalry!" Gao Yuan's words stunned the four of them. Seeing the dumbfounded appearance of the four, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, I have already discussed with Mr. Lu, we will The reason for building a cavalry team of a hundred men is because we have too few people who can ride horses, otherwise we can expand the team, but right now, we have a cavalry team of a hundred men, which is already very impressive. And our first team It will be expanded to 500 people, that is to say, we still have 200 vacancies, everyone should worry about this matter."
"Bingcao, you don't need to worry too much about recruiting soldiers. I have already found out the slaves we rescued from the old Hutu. Many of them are like me. They have no care and no worries. One person is full and the whole family is not hungry." , and these people have been abused by Donghu people so much that they hate them. Now they are full of hatred. In the past two days, many people have come to me to ask if they can join the army. The salary and treatment of our first team really let them Envious." Yan Haibo said.
"Have you been doing this for the past two days?" Gao Yuan was surprised and happy at the same time.
Yan Haibo smiled triumphantly, "Not only did I do these investigations, but I also let our soldiers show among them how comfortable we are, how generous and wise our soldiers are, and our future is boundless with our soldiers!"
Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Yanzi, I can't tell, you are really a clever ghost."
Sun Xiaodao: "Bingcao, this cavalry soldier can't just be a cavalry soldier. We can't even fight on horseback!"
"You don't have to worry about this, I have planned it long ago, and it was decided after He Lanxiong's discussion. They sent the best equestrians to help us train the cavalry. The Xiongnu's cavalry is actually as elite as the Donghu people. Infantry, you He is the best equestrian among us, I am going to hand over this cavalry team to you, how about it, do you have confidence?"
"As long as it is told by the soldiers, I will do my best to do my best!" The infantry jumped up and said loudly.
"Okay!" Gao Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "Tian Cheng, you have to work harder these few days. Those we rescued, except those who are willing to serve as soldiers, will be handed over to you. Let them go. , after all, Juliguan is not a place where you can stay for a long time. You also have to take care of the booty that will be sent to the county. Will you return your leg? Doesn’t it bother you?”
"No problem!" Cao Tiancheng said, "It's just a matter of talking and drawing a book, it's nothing."
