Turbulent Times Chapter 55: The rich Wang Junlin


Wang Junlin was dressed in Turkic attire. At night when horns sounded, the tribe was in chaos. No one knew what the assassin looked like. The Turkic soldiers just stared at whoever left the tribe and thought it was an assassin. But Wang Junlin didn't leave at all, just took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into a tent area where the Han business group lived. There was someone to meet him here. After he was led into the tent by a person, he quickly undressed and stripped naked. Into the bed...

Regardless of the relationship between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty, the business groups organized by the Han people are always the most popular type of people for the Turks, because these people can bring the Turks urgently need iron, porcelain, silk, food, etc. Necessities and other luxuries needed by the Turkic nobles, as well as the cattle, sheepskins and other animal skins they accumulated from hunting, as well as some herbs they collected on the grasslands or unique to the Western Regions, can be exchanged for those brought by the caravan goods or money.

So, even in the life-and-death battle like last year, the Turkic people would never hurt the Han business groups in the past. Punishment was carried out, and severe cases even directly wiped out the genocide.

After that, the Turkic people seldom robbed the Han business groups, and they were extremely enthusiastic about the arrival of the Han business groups. In fact, the so-called hospitality of the Turkic people also spread from the mouths of these businessmen.

So, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, Wang Junlin doesn't have to worry about being exposed, not to mention that Hulu Nubi never suspected the business group at all. When making this plan, the reason why I chose to assassinate Hulu Nubi instead of Tong Yehu Khan and Ashina also considered that the former is much weaker than the latter two big brothers, and has an impulsive personality. .

In addition, this business group was originally created by Wang Junlin, and it was not formed temporarily before the mission to Western Turks, but he formed this business group half a year ago. and all kinds of intelligence from the Western Regions; the second is naturally to make money.

Doing business with Turkic people who don't have much arithmetic and business acumen is inherently profitable, not to mention that this business group can also go to the Western Regions and take the Silk Road to do business. You must know that the Silk Road is called the golden commercial road, and it is not just a casual saying. As long as any piece of porcelain or a piece of silk in the Central Plains is transported to the Western Regions, Persia and other Central Asian countries, it will be a hundred times more profitable.

So, the caravan that Wang Junlin was in was originally his own people inside and out. In addition, the caravan often did business with the Hulu Nubi tribe before, so they were considered familiar customers, so they would naturally receive great courtesy.

In short, Wang Junlin is not only not in danger staying in Hulu Nubi, but also living a very good life.

Wang Junlin's mansion raised more than 300 retired veterans as guards, half of them were arranged by Wang Junlin to serve as guards for the merchant group, and among the refugees in Gaotai City at that time, there were many merchants who were plundered by Tuyuhun. Wang Junlin carefully selected more than ten people, subdued them by secret means, and formed this caravan.

In addition, there are more than 200 artisans of various kinds among the refugees. Wang Junlin unceremoniously collected them all in his mansion to raise them. Nearly half of the products in the group come from here.

For example, porcelain is actually made by these craftsmen in Wang Junlin's mansion. Although the craftsmanship is much rougher than that of the Central Plains porcelain family, it is considered low-grade in the hands of the Han people. They definitely don't like it. No, but ordinary people really need it! Who doesn't need a bowl to eat.

Nowadays, nearly a quarter of the herdsmen in various tribes in Western Turks use the large bowls produced in Wangjunlinfu, not to mention other tables, stools, stoves, etc., Wangjunlinfu The most indispensable thing in the world is carpenters and blacksmiths.

Even the fifty women who were treating the wounded soldiers and serving as nurses didn't have a day's free time. After all, Wang Junlin didn't have anyone in his family, so he needed so many people to serve him, so Wang Junlin directly hired two doctors with decent medical skills. , after personally conducting some teaching and training for them, 20 women were assigned to be nurses, and the first hospital in the Sui Dynasty was opened, named Wang's Hospital.

Although this hospital was established in Gaotai City, a small border town, it actually has epoch-making significance. Just like all new things since ancient times, it caused many people to gossip behind their backs at the beginning, but under Wang Junlin's reputation, no one dared to make trouble. After a long time, people will naturally realize this. Benefits of hospital visits.

Nowadays, patients in Gaotai City go to Wang's Hospital whenever they get sick. There is no other reason-"good quality and low price", the consultation fee is not much, and it is easier than other doctors to see the doctor. The gentle and caring service, especially some male patients, will go to Wang's Hospital when they get sick, and there are even "homeboys" who are unwilling to leave the hospital when they recover, and moan about minor illnesses in order to be able to be hospitalized.

For this situation, as long as they are willing to pay, Wang's Hospital will naturally continue to receive them. Later, there were not enough wards and beds, and Wang Junlin only ordered to increase the hospitalization fee, and did not think about expanding the scale. After all, Gaotai City is just a small city. That's it, not many people.

At that time, when Wang Junlin took so many refugees into his house, Wu San, Wu Si, Zhou Hu and others were worried that they would eat up Wang Junlin's military salary, and even worried that Wang Junlin would deduct the soldiers' military salary. Thinking about it, it was these people who made Wang Junlin a rich man in just half a year. Yu Juluo, the general manager of the Yongzhou army, even heard from the governor Chen Sansi that Wang Junlin has now become the number one rich man in Yongzhou.

As a person who has mastered the advanced knowledge of thousands of years of development in later generations, Wang Junlin actually has many tricks to make money in his mind. In front of him can be lost overnight, without even the identity and force to match it, having too much money means catastrophe is imminent. Therefore, he will make money, but he will definitely not make money that does not match his status and power.

The next day, at dawn, the Turkic people got up and started to fetch water, make food for themselves, and feed their horses, cattle, and sheep. Then great events happened between the West Turkic Royal Court Tribe and the Ashina Tribe.

40,000 to 50,000 war horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep in the Wangting tribe began to have diarrhea, and more than 70,000 herdsmen, tens of thousands of war horses, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep in the Ashina tribe fell ill.

In the king's tent, Tong Yehu Khan replaced the two maids of Princess Xinyi last night to try something new. He had a satisfied look on his face in the morning, but after hearing the news, he was filled with anger and said viciously: "This **** Ashina, Ben Khan hasn't made a move yet, I didn't expect this **** to be the first to use such a poisonous plan."

King Bo Duo also rushed over upon hearing the news, and said, "Khan, could it be that the Sui people did it to sow discord and make us Turks internally fight."

Tong Yehu Khan said: "The 2,500 generals of the Sui Dynasty who followed the Sui envoy have been under our strict surveillance. I have asked them just now, and none of them paid their bills last night. "

King Bo Duo’s eyes flickered, and he had a guess in his heart, but he didn’t say it, he just nodded and said in the words of Tong Yehu Khan: “The only ones who are waiting for us are Ashina and I Hulu Nubi and Hulu Nubi don't have such a brain, and we just found out yesterday that Ashina has a secret recipe that can poison many animals. As a result, such a thing happened today, it seems that it can only be Ashina That faction did it."

Tong Yehu Khan gritted his teeth and said: "National teacher, I must kill that **** Ashina. Fifty thousand horses and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep will be destroyed like this. The number is still increasing. Only by gathering soldiers and horses, destroying Ashina, and getting his tribe, can we make up for our losses and eliminate my anger."

King Bo Duo hesitated for a moment, then looked murderous, and said: "I originally thought to wait for the Sui envoy to leave before dealing with Ashina and Kurunubi. Get rid of these heretics! Remember, if the arrangement goes on, you must kill the master of the Bon religion and capture their three saintess alive."

As soon as Tong Yehu heard that King Boduo agreed to send troops, he was overjoyed. According to his personality, he wanted to fight a long time ago, and as the number one warrior in Western Turks, he never took Ashina seriously. As for Hulu Not to mention Nubi, but Fawang Boduo has always said that to avoid mutual damage, he must take it slowly, and he is worried that Tai Sui will take the opportunity to send troops, so he must first marry Tai Sui. Now that what should be done in the Sui Dynasty has been done, and Ashina is looking for death on his own, he absolutely can't bear it any longer.

The order to summon the leaders of the tribes and the heads of ten thousand was passed down quickly, and not long after, the sound of the horn calling for the army also echoed in the Western Turkic royal court. Because it is difficult to keep secrets among the Turkic tribes, the Turkic people either do not fight, as long as they decide to fight, they will kill them at the fastest speed before the enemy has time to gather all the troops.

At the same time, a similar scene also happened in the Ashina tribe. However, because his own strength was not as good as the Uniform Hu Khan, Ashina did not immediately send troops to the Western Turkic Court, but instead summoned the leaders of the various tribes and thousands of subordinates. The husband held a meeting, unified his thinking, and prepared for a tough battle. At the same time, he sent envoys to the Hulu Nubi tribe to persuade the latter, and the two families joined forces to deal with Tongyehu Khan.

Wang Junlin slept peacefully at night, and woke up in the morning dressed as a businessman.

After eating breakfast, Wang Junlin walked out of the tent and stood by the side of the merchant group's garrison, secretly observing the reaction of the Hulu Nubi tribe. Lunuby is ready to wage war.
