The shopkeepers in each shop have a special account book, which specifically records the accounts for these local workers.

The shopkeeper often tells Ma Jin that it is very hard to take care of the men under your command. They spend money so hard that they can’t save money in a year.

At this time, Ma Jin often can only smile bitterly. The young people in the Tuman world have such personalities, are brave and fierce, and are generous by nature, and are often lazy and difficult to discipline.

In the village, the mountain life may be more suitable for them. When they are outside, they live a restricted working life, and they need an opportunity to vent.

Ma Jin could only tell the shopkeeper that when they adapt, slowly, they will definitely be able to adapt to life outside and learn to plan their own lives well.

Ma Jin had his own dream. He hoped that one day he could save enough money and open his own shop in Hanjing. He heard that Hanjing was being built and would be larger than Chang'an City. There would be countless shops there. He hoped that he could buy a shop, even if he rented one, so he specialized in selling some goods from their mountains. He heard that many rich people like many things in the mountains.

In the village, men were slaughtering pigs and sheep, and the young men who came back from work were all dressed beautifully. They lived outside and did not save much money. This time, they came back, so they wanted to save face, buy new clothes and shoes, and buy things for their families. Often, they spent all the money they had for a year of working.

There were even many men who had no money at all, and finally came to him to borrow money.

Ma Jin is a easy-to-talk person and very happy. Outside, when people in the clan have something to come to him, he will help settle it. Whether they need to borrow money or fight with others, he will come forward to help settle it. Everyone also trusts him, and the management in the factory also trusts Ma Jin.

When he came back this time, he borrowed all the money from those who had spent all their money, and did not require any interest. However, everyone who came to borrow money would chat with them well. Maybe the conversation would not be of any use, but he would still persuade them.

Compared to those young men, Ma Jin actually prefers the female workers who go out with him.

Compared to men who are lazy and cause trouble, female workers work harder and harder. When they were in the village, they were so diligent and honest, and when they were outside, they were more obedient and diligent.

Most of the time they spend in workshops and dormitories. Only when they are on vacation will they go shopping in the market outside and buy some small things.

Most female workers will not pay their wages in advance at Ma Jin. When they pay wages every month, they will only leave about one hundred cents, and then the rest will be stored in Ma Jin, or ask Ma Jin to help them take them back to their families.

Ah Hua is the most obedient female workers brought out by Ma Jin. She works hard and never spends money randomly. Other female workers will leave 100 or 200 yuan a month to spend. However, she only spends 100 or 200 yuan a few months and never buys things randomly. The clothes are all worn in the workshop free work clothes, and the food is only in the workshop canteen.

This time when she went home, she brought back 10,000 yuan, and then bought a lot of cloth for her family, spending more than 5,000 yuan. Before she got home, she bought some cloth, then sewed a new set of clothes for herself, and a set for her family.

Although she spent a lot of money back, she thought that if she made money, she should give it to her family. Moreover, she brought back 10,000 yuan, which was the one who brought back the most money among the hundreds of people who went out in Ma Jin's hands.

The pigs were already set up and roasted, and the fragrance was emitting.

The venue was lively.

Ma Jin also sent everyone some food and other foods they brought back.

The old patriarch took a piece of rock candy and put it in his mouth and sucked it, very happy.

“So sweet.”

"Baby, will you go out next year?"

"Dad, I'll go out next year, but I'm going to go further away, Fangzhou, and I'll leave it to my second brother to be the foreman of the worker."

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go to the surrender city."

"Subursing City?" The old patriarch was puzzled. He didn't know where this was.

"There is very far away from here, in the northwest. The Suspension City is the fief of Li's prime minister. The emperor has set a fief of 300 miles north of the subway. The Li family is preparing to go there to build a city after the New Year. Li Ji's shopkeeper said that there will be business opportunities there, and I'm going to go there."

"Are you going alone?" asked the patriarch.

"I'll ask if anyone is willing to go to Suspension City with me, and go there together. If I can gain a foothold there, I'll pick up more people to make money."

Making money, Tuman now knows the importance of making money. With money, you can buy a lot of things.

“Is it reliable to go there?”

"Dad, don't worry, Suspension City is the fief of Li Xiangguo. Don't you believe Li Xiangguo?"

"Go to Li Xiang's fiefdom, then this is reliable."

Li Chao once killed many Tumans, but now in the hearts of Tumans, Li Chao is the most famous among the Han people and is most respected by them.

"What are you doing there?" The old clan elder, otherwise he would have wanted to go outside to see the colorful world. Listening to the young people who came back from home bragging to the people in the village on the spot, the old clan elder wanted to laugh, but he was also very happy.

He knew that many of the younger generations were not doing well outside. His son told him the real situation, but he didn't care. Young people were always like this. It was always better to go out and go out, but it was better than staying in the mountains. In the mountains, what else can they have in addition to fighting with nearby villages? Last time the Tang army entered the suppression, they were beaten to what they were like.

"I heard from the shopkeeper of Ji Li that the Li family wanted to build three surrender cities in the north of the Sei River, establish a Shang Town, a farm, a ranch and a workshop. In short, there are opportunities everywhere. And there, the Li family does not care about their background or identity, but only values ​​your talents. No matter whether you are a Han, a barbarian or a harasser, it doesn't matter. If you have the ability, they will use it."

"Dad, the world is so big, I want to go out to the mountains and make a fortune. Fangzhou is still too small, I want to go further away, go to Xiangyang, Chang'an, Hanjing to Suzhou City."

The old patriarch nodded.

"When I was young, I was like you, unwilling to stay in the mountains all my life. Later, I went out with the caravan. I have been to Fangzhou and Xiangyang, and Luoyang and Chang'an."

"Dad, why have I never heard you say this before?" Ma Jin said in surprise.

"What's there to say? I wanted to go out and go out, but every time I went out, I couldn't stay for long, and I missed home and couldn't communicate with the Chinese people. I couldn't integrate into their lives, so I went out again and again, and finally, I stayed in this mountain."

The old patriarch shook his head gently.

"Son, my dad can see that you are better than me, you yearn for the outside world more than me, and you can adapt to the outside world more than me. You can go and go and go. Remember, even if the wind and waves outside are strong, you cannot surrender easily. Although there are thousands of good things at home, don't be restrained, the outside world is bigger. We cannot be trapped in this mountain forever, that is not promising. My dad used to be unpromising, but when he grows old, he regrets it."

"When you were young, you would regret it for a while when you were wronged and stay outside. However, if you come back, you might regret it for the rest of your life, and you would regret it for the rest of your life.

Ma Jinzhen didn't expect that his father had such a rich life experience. He thought that his father had just lived in the mountains all his life. Now, thinking about it, his father has always had a longer vision than ordinary people in the village, including asking him to do business outside and working as a foreman, and his father supported him."

"Son, if you go to Sujiang City, if Li Xiang really hires people regardless of their origin, then you should make a good start there. You must seize this opportunity, gain a foothold there, and become a man who has left the village."

"My father highly respects Li Xiang?"

The old patriarch supported his hands on the crutch and looked ahead, "Who can disrespect the real capable people? Li Chao is a very capable person. I heard that he defeated hundreds of thousands of Turks with tens of thousands of people this time and killed hundreds of thousands of Turks?"

Ma Jin smiled, "It's not that exaggerated. It just defeated the 100,000 vanguards of the Turks and killed the second Turkish khan Tuli Khan. At that time, it was designed to trap the Turkic vanguard army. The Turkic people had no food, so Li Xiang first lured the Turkic people to surrender, and then cruelly ordered the killing. He killed 68,000 in one breath, and even piled up a head of Jingguan under Loufan Pass."

"Cruel?" asked the old patriarch.

"A little unkind."

"Ren Dao?" The old patriarch shook his head and laughed, "Son, Li Chao is not a village leader or a small patriarch. He is the prime minister of the Tang Empire, the emperor's important minister, the prince's father-in-law and teacher. This is a real master. He lured and killed more than 60,000 Turkic prisoners, which is actually nothing. Li Chao did nothing wrong at all, and he is not a cruel person."

"On the contrary, what you want to see is that Li Chao can kill the second Turkic Khan at a price of slight casualties and wipe out the entire army of 100,000 Turkic Khan with tens of thousands of people and force them to surrender. What you want to see is that Li Chao killed the second Turkic Khan at a very small cost of casualties and wiped out the entire army of 100,000 Turkic Khan. You also need to see that Li Chao destroyed the 100,000 Turkic Khan and forced the Turkic Khan to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty. He has not yet gained a slight advantage in the peace agreement. These are Li Chao's real ability."

"Son, our Tuman has been living in this mountain for too long. It has been so long that we have no vision and cannot see the long term. I hope that after you go out, you will not come back and take the tribe out in the future. Don't blindly stick to our traditional customs. Some things, sticking to traditions means being backward. You should learn more from the Han people."

"Are we going to give up our tradition?" Ma Jin was surprised.

"Son, if we continue to stick to all this now, maybe it will not take long for our entire tribe and all our local barbarians to be gone. At that time, there are no people. Can traditions still be left? You have to learn more about the Han people. For thousands of years, they have been assimilating and integrating other tribes, assimilating others, and attracting others' long-term strengths and weaknesses. This is the reason why the Han people have continued to grow and have their own tribes dominant now."

Ma Jin didn't know why his father told him about this great truth today. He didn't understand it very well, but he seemed to understand it a little.
