After Hu Gao moved south, the royal court of the Black Banner Khan had moved to Heren Fort. Pajaqili expanded the Horen Fort ten times, and equipped it with all the government offices, palaces and cities, and it was renamed Heren City.

After the construction of Heren City, the Han people in the Central Plains, in order to avoid the war and save their lives, those with a little wealth and strength went north to do business in Heren. Some untouchables also came over and became long-term laborers in Heren City. In less than half a year,

The population of Heren alone was more than 300,000. When Pajaqili saw it on the wall of the palace city, he suspected that he had arrived at a city in the Central Plains.

The generals who originally mounted their horses, bent their bows and wielded their swords, soon discovered that doing business in the city was much faster than fighting and looting, so they rushed to seize shops and warehouses. Now there was chaos in Heren, and Pajaqili had to lead his troops to suppress it.

, and then the incident was settled.

The merchants were chasing profits. When Heren was in trouble, they all left Heren. The generals happily took over the shops but found that no one came to do business. At the same time, Hu Gao vigorously protected the merchants in Xiangguo and sent troops to protect them.

The caravans set aside a place for them to store goods. Ju Wuzhi on the edge of Liyang City was even better. He started doing business with the besieged enemies. Food, salt, cattle and sheep from outside the city were sent to the city, and goods from inside the city were sent.

Fabrics and porcelain from the south were sent outside the city.

After comparing several places, ordinary businessmen came to Xiangguo to do stable business, and the brave ones went to Juwuzhi to start smuggling business.

Pajaqili and General Yiqian in Heren City were puzzled, so they called everyone together to discuss countermeasures.

Most of the generals and elders present at the meeting had received gifts from Ju Wuzhi, so it was difficult to say whether Ju Wuzhi was good or bad. Moreover, they were a little wary about doing Ju Wuzhi's business, because they might be attacked from the south one day.

All the fingers were pointed at Hu Gao, and the generals were the first to attack: "The national adviser provided houses for those profiteers in Xiangguo and sent troops to protect them. He must have received money from the profiteers!"

"The Imperial Master is jealous of our royal court's good business, so he must have come up with many tricks to defraud the merchants!"

"The Imperial Master has always despised the Great Khan. When he saw us arriving at the new royal court this time, he must be jealous!"

But Dunhulu sneered: "There are tens of thousands of merchants, how can he defraud them all? Even if the merchants give him money, where will those untouchables get the money to give him money? You yourself don't know how to do business, let alone different walks of life.

Everyone has their own way of doing things, but they blame others! It’s so stupid.”

When Hu Lu said this, everyone fell silent. Pajaqili looked at Hu Lu and said, "What's so rare about doing business? It's just that there are people coming to buy and sell in front of the shop! What Ke Dun said is that we, the Fire Dragon Clan,

Are we all born stupid?"

"The Great Khan is right, Master Ju Wuzhi is very good at doing business! Isn't Master Ju Wuzhi a member of our Fire Dragon Tribe? He can make money by doing business with the enemy on the front line. Is it possible that we are guarding our own city and our own people?

Can’t do business?” A general actually told Ju Wuzhi about doing business on the front line. Everyone looked at him and couldn’t help but worry.

Pajaqili was also embarrassed, because even he, the Great Khan, accepted Ju Wuzhi's gift. He also knew that Ju Wuzhi was smuggling with the enemy on the front line, so he immediately smoothed things over: "Yes, what's so rare about doing business?

It must be that the Imperial Master wants to make money alone, how can this be done?"

Hu Lu didn't think much about doing business on the front line, and immediately retorted: "Great Khan, generals, you have taken over the medicinal materials business, but the medicinal materials in your hands are either infested with insects or moldy, who dares to ask for it? This is

Is the Imperial Master here to cause trouble? The cloths you grabbed are all stuck together and cannot be pulled off, the wine sold has a sour taste, and the inn is full of stench. Is this also the Imperial Master's mischief? "

Everyone bowed their heads and were embarrassed to speak. Only Pajaqili argued: "Ketun, it's not like all the handymen and helpers are following you."

Are you leaving? How can our people do these small chores? Do we want our people to do those despicable things? "

Hu Lu pointed at the silk robe on Pajaqili: "Great Khan, this robe is naturally noble when worn on the Great Khan, but is it still valuable if worn on a sheep? Our Heren City is stable and peaceful, with the Great Khan and

Did the merchants and untouchables come all the way to seek refuge under the protection of the generals? But you have robbed other people’s shops and goods, and you won’t take care of them. Now everyone in Heren City can’t escape, so who dares to come?”

Pajaqili also lowered his head: "Are we just going to hand it over to them to make money after we worked so hard to conquer the city?"

The elders also echoed: "Everything is God's arrangement, and what is supposed to come will always come. This and Rencheng belong to our Khanate, not to those profiteers and untouchables!"

Hu Lu was speechless: "Elders, if there are no people, who will provide us with cattle, sheep, horses, food, cloth, and silk? Who will carry things and make weapons?"

Pajaqili also understood that the elders were talking nonsense and spoke again: "Ketun is right, we can't use the people, but do we have to give up those shops and goods again?"

Hu Lu thought for a while: "It's too late now. The only way is to ask the national master to come back. He must have a way."

Hearing that the Imperial Guard was coming back, Heshun King Zadabel, who was guarding Heren City, was not happy: "I heard that the Qianyu Army only takes orders from the Imperial Guard. If the Imperial Guard comes back with troops and horses, if he has any evil intentions,

Who among us can resist?"

Other generals and elders also echoed: "The national army swept Hebei to the east, Guanzhong to the west, and Luoyang to the south. It is invincible and resourceful. Although it is the sharp sword of our Khanate, if it is not used well, it will hurt us."

"The Imperial Advisor has always been domineering and looked down on us. Now he has made extraordinary achievements. Once he brings his troops back, how will we deal with ourselves?"

"The national advisor has elite soldiers and is rich enough to rival the country. Even if he has no tampering intentions, it would be hard to say if someone around him wants to get rich."

"I heard that the Imperial Master is very popular in Guanzhong, and the people have built statues and temples for him. Isn't this trying to win people's hearts for evil purposes?"

At this time, even Hu Lu couldn't argue anymore. Hu Lu had been taught by teachers from the Xiao family since he was a child, and the stories of the past dynasties in the Central Plains have long been memorized. Yi Yin, Huo Guang, Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, which one did not win the hearts of the people, and which one

Didn't the emperor be abolished later? There was only one Duke of Zhou, but there were many stories of Han, Zhao, and Wei being divided into Jin Dynasty, and thirty-six emperors were killed in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Cold sweat broke out on Pajaqili's forehead, but he still smiled deliberately: "You are worrying too much. I have no doubts about the appointment of the Imperial Preceptor, and those who doubt him will not be used. Ke Dun and I wrote a letter to the Imperial Preceptor and told him about the situation in Rencheng.

, ask him to come back for advice, he will definitely come back."

But Dunhulu thought of something, and added: "You can still make amends now. Go find the merchants who have left recently and return the goods to them. You send troops to protect their caravans and shops. They will hand over to you."

Money, isn’t that great?”

The generals bowed their heads and responded repeatedly. In fact, they all understood the truth, but in this way, they still had to distribute the money to the soldiers. If they could run the shop well, they wouldn't need to distribute it to others. But at this time, I couldn't take care of it at all, so I had to endure the pain.

Do as the law says.

Once bitten by a snake, fearful of well ropes for ten years, all the generals of the Black Flag Khanate had to kidnap the merchants back, but still no merchants came back to Heren City. On the contrary, more and more refugees came to Heren, and they stayed in the city all day long.

Begging, stealing and robbing.

After Hu Gao received the letter from Pajaqili and Hulu, he smiled and said to his surroundings: "You are guarding the city with all your heart. My mission is over. I hope to see you in peace one day!"

Confused, Hu Gao sighed: "Our Qian Yu army marched east and west, captured cities and territories, and made great achievements, which shocked the Lord. Now you are calling me back because you are afraid that I have some evil plans. If I leave, I will not meet you again in the future.

Hard to meet."

Zha Dayuan, the deputy general of the left army, smiled with red eyes: "Wang Ting actually has such an idea. The Imperial Preceptor is from the Central Plains, and our Qianyu Army are all members of the Fire Dragon Tribe. Even if the Imperial Preceptor really has objections, how can we follow him?"

The Imperial Master rebelled? Isn’t this a joke?”

Hu Gao laughed: "You are really stupid. You really won't follow me as a foreigner to rebel, but you have the ability to rebel. The thousands of people we have spent several years building are all elites.

Who in the world is not afraid of the elites? They climb up the city walls, charge into battles, one is as good as ten, they are invincible. Even I am a little afraid, how can they not be afraid?"

The deputy general of the right army, Hu Dubili, sighed: "If the Imperial Guard says this, Zada ​​Yuanxian and I are also in danger. Can the Imperial Guard think of a way to save our lives?"

Hu Gao looked at the two of them: "You have been following me for a few years. It doesn't matter. The best way for you to save yourself now is to rob the people in Xiangguo, seize their property, and drink and have fun all day long. Remember, you have to pay

Those people in the royal court give gifts!”

Zha Dayuanxian's eyes widened: "Didn't the Imperial Counselor ask us to strictly observe military discipline and not rob the people? What?"

Hu Gao sighed: "Just don't hurt people's lives. If you want to protect yourself, you can only taint yourselves first and ruin your reputation. Naturally, the Great Khan and the officials in the royal court will not suspect that you are rebelling, because you are an unpopular person."

He will not rebel.”

Hu Doubi punched the beam and pillar into a groove: "Hey, it's better to resign and go back to the grassland to herd sheep!"

Hu Gao waved his hand: "No, if you resign, they will even wonder if you are no longer serving the Black Flag Khanate, whether you are going to join the Green Flag Khanate, whether you are going to flee to Liang State, or whether you are going to join Zhu Yaoshi.

By then you will really have no place to die!"

Both of them stared at Hu Gao blankly for a while, and then knelt down with tears in their eyes: "We must bear in mind the words of the Imperial Master, and we must take care of ourselves even when the Imperial Master is away!"

Hu Gao helped the two of them up: "I am a lonely old man, and I don't have much to worry about. I just want to prove my abilities. I have become famous now. It's just a pity that I can't continue to dominate the world! I have no problem protecting myself.

, after I return to Heren, I will also be drunk and full of food and music every night. It’s also good that I have worked hard all my life and it’s time to take a rest.”

On one side, Hu Gao set off to return to Heren in the north, while on the other side Li Xiaofei also returned south to Shazhou with trophies and craftsmen's equipment.

After Li Xiaofei returned to Shazhou, he told Murong Ling about Ju Renshan's ending. Murong Ling blamed Li Xiaofei for failing to save Ju Renshan: "After all, they took us in when we were in the most difficult time. How they govern the country and fight among themselves is their own business.

, why do we need to stand out."

Li Xiaofei retorted: "Aren't I trying to save the people from the fire and water for the sake of the world's righteousness? I can only put public before private!"

Murong Ling sneered: "You went there to save the people from fire and water, and Gaochang City became a paradise on earth? As far as I know, it's just a new group of people who continue to oppress the people!"

Li Xiaofei lowered his head: "This is what I didn't expect, and what I don't understand. Why did those kind-hearted and hard-working poor people become greedy, cruel and treacherous after becoming tribunes? Why do they all look like

Ju Renshan, before he came to power, he was amiable, respectful and kind, but once he came to power, he became a tyrant?"
