Chapter Ninety-Six: The Horse and the Sheep Bargo

"That's right! However, by doing so, you are making our Pegasus Ranch lose its trust! Li Qin's statement was a reason, but Shang Xiuxun's good-looking brows were still tightly furrowed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How so?" Li Qin raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"The order for our Pegasus Ranch is a few years away. There is also more than one buyer. Everyone has paid the deposit, and you let me sell you all the war horses like this, won't I want to break the contract? Even if you, Li Qin, are already the number one prince in the world, you can't be so domineering. Shang Xiuxun retorted seriously.

"Hehe......" Listening to Shang Xiuxun's rebuttal words, Li Qin suddenly laughed: "I just said it badly...... I don't mean to let you Pegasus Ranch lose its trust. Of course, you can continue to ship the orders you have already undertaken. But, that's the end of it. Except for those who have signed the order now, I will cover all the war horses. ”

"You mean you bought all the horses except for the orders we have received?" Shang Xiuxun raised his eyebrows: "How much do you bid?" It won't be very low, will it? Although I should give you a discount for the large quantity, but you are buying it as a package, and after the existing order is delivered, I will only supply you alone. There is a way to bully the store, and I am really a little worried. Perhaps, what you said now is good, but in case in the future...... Isn't our ranch losing a lot? In troubled times, the price of war horses is rising every year! ”

Shang Xiuxun is also a businessman after all. In business, in addition to the necessary righteousness, Shang Xiuxun naturally pursues the maximization of interests. So, she said that. Of course, this is also related to her unwillingness to underwrite all the war horses to Li Qin.

After all, she also understands that it is not good for her to sell all her war horses to one customer - it will be controlled by others.

Shang Xiuxun understands this very well. She knows better that if all the war horses are handed over to Li Qin, the news will spread to the rivers and lakes, but she is afraid that many people in the rivers and lakes will say that Pegasus Ranch violated the ancestral teachings and made their own choices in the troubled times.

"That's not good!" Shang Xiuxun didn't want to do this, but he couldn't provoke Li Qin clearly, so he could only raise his price appropriately.

She was also refusing.

"Then how about I promise to buy all the war horses on your ranch at a 10% increase in market price every year for ten years?" But Li Qin smiled as if he didn't hear the meaning of Shang Xiuxun's words, and made a promise with a smile.

"In other words, your unified purchase only lasts for ten years, right?" Shang Xiuxun guessed what Li Qin meant, but he was still a little puzzled: "Why is it only ten years?" ”

"Ten years from now, I may not need cavalry." Li Qin said lightly.

"Ten years from now, no cavalry is needed? What does that mean? Li Chin's words surprised everyone in the hall.

Only Li Ya smiled faintly, she knew what Li Qin meant. She had seen the tragic decline of the cavalry, although she knew it from the textbooks at the timeβ€”Li Qin was undoubtedly moving along that path.

Although ten years later, Li Qin may not really be able to create a steel monster that completely replaces the cavalry and war horses, but according to Li Qin's current progress, Li Qin will definitely be able to get a machine gun ten years later. Once you have a machine gun, and you want to attack the infantry with a war horse, you can only hope that God willing, the commander of that infantry is a fool.

When technology began to develop, the power of cavalry was doomed. Unless there is the blessing of legendary genetic technology, let the war horse develop in an extraordinary direction.

Ten years, Li Qin has this self-confidence.

And ten years later...... No, even after six years, these people may no longer be in this world.

According to the time set by the Lord God for himself, his biggest opponents, the group of reincarnators like himself, will descend on the northern steppes in six years, and at that time, a great war will either push them or they will push back themselves.

Ten years, life or death, maybe everything will be different.

Of course, these things are too obscure, except for Li Ya and Coco Cai, others may not understand. But according to what Li Qin said, they had another judgment, "There will be no need for cavalry in ten years?" Are you saying that you will unify the world in ten years? ”

"Perhaps. With my current development, it is not surprising that the world will be unified in ten years, is it? Li Qin smiled confidently and retorted lightly.

"This ...... That's true. Shang Xiuxun also had to admit this.

Although the world has been unified by the north and the south since ancient times, the advantage that Li Qin has now is too obvious. At present, the war between the northern heroes is still going on, and it is estimated that it will take a year or two for them to decide the winner.

As long as Li Qin can develop steadily in the next year or two, and continue to expand his chassis and strength in Jiangbei, it seems that he will eventually win the world.

This can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and Li Qin himself is no exception.

Don't look at the fact that he has swallowed so much territory in one bite now, it seems that he is a little overwhelmed, but as long as he is given a year and a half to digest, he will have a stronger army and more officials to deal with those northern heroes.

As a matter of fact, in Jiangzuo, which Li Qin already controlled, that is, Jiangning, Yuhang, Biling, Wu, Xuancheng, Huiji, Xin'an, Sui'an, and other places, various literacy training courses, technician training courses, and crash courses for officials were constantly opened.

In the case of Li Qin's subdivision of the duties of officials, there are not many things that each official really needs to manage, they have become specialized, and the threshold for entry has been greatly reduced. In addition, with a large population as the basis for rapid training, many officials come out of the official training school every month.

Li Qin set up a training class in the county, one city and one school. Each school is divided into several classes, and the content and time of each class are different, but even the longest study time does not exceed half a year.

At least half of the students in each course will graduate from a training course. And these graduates have passed the corresponding general affairs assessment, and they are enough to be qualified for the most basic administrative work under Li Qin's rule.

In the counties of Jiangnan, Hanshui, and Dongting in Xinde, Li Qin sent hundreds or thousands of such low-level talents to build his most solid foundation of rule in the local area.

"There are as many officers in Nanwu as there are his soldiers." These are the words used by certain forces in the north to point at Li Qin. In their view, the act of feeding nearly 100,000 officials with millions of people is indeed too crazy.

They all believed that Li Chin's finances would collapse as a result. But what they didn't expect was that Li Qin adopted the strongest grain-based system in this troubled era.

Regardless of the fact that Li Qin has already occupied the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as it is vigorously developed, it will be able to produce enough food supply, let's just say that Li Qin himself has enough food in his personal space to eat 60 or 70 million people in the whole world for a year.

In the face of such abundant grain reserves, no matter how many officials Li Qin has, he has the ability to pay.

Not to mention, Li Qin's occupation of Jiangnan now has the advantage of salt and iron.

In short, with good finances and the support of a large number of officials who were not very good, Li Qin's grasp of the localities was very rapid. And after he completed his grasp of the locality, the resources and forces that he could mobilize directly to the people were not comparable to those forces in the north and south whose imperial power did not go to the countryside.

For Li Qin, the most dangerous thing for him is now, as long as he misses this period of time, his strength will grow further and become enough to crush everyone.

This is where Li Qin's confidence lies. It is precisely because he has such confidence that he is so confident when he says it.

Of course, outsiders don't quite understand this, but with their eyesight, they can still see that Li Qin's forces are in a good state of operation, and they can be regarded as thriving.

The forces that are thriving are often terrifying. Everyone doesn't know how long Li Qin's momentum can be maintained, but as long as he can continue to maintain it, there is still a great possibility of winning the world.

Silence is maintained in Pegasus Ranch. The owner Shang Xiuxun frowned and thought nervously, the conditions proposed by Li Qin were not easy to refuse in terms of practical interests, but they were not suitable for the long-term interests of the ranch.

Should you say yes or not?

Everyone was thinking.

"If you ...... can guarantee that what you say is true......" Shang Xiuxun thought for a while, and finally spoke, she said this first, and then paused: "Then, I will accept this matter." There is no greater achievement in the world than Conglong, and I hope you don't disappoint me. ”

Speaking of Shang Xiuxun's beautiful eyes, he looked at Li Qin with a sparkling look.

"Huh! That's a deep responsibility! Li Qin smiled when he heard this, he reached out and touched his straightness, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't disappoint." The world, I am determined! Li Qin said confidently, and the domineering spirit all over his body burst out, making everyone in the hall lose their minds involuntarily.

"Alright!" Shang Xiuxun is a very human being, except for Li Ya, she is the first few people in the hall to come back to her senses, but seeing him clapping his hands gently, she said with a smile: "The matter of the war horse is over." Let's talk about wool! What exactly can wool do? Although there is a saying about wool blankets in the West, there is no such skill in the East. What do you want wool for? ”

"Clothes, military uniforms!" Hearing Shang Xiuxun's question, Li Qin smiled and said lightly what he wanted wool for.

"Military uniforms?" Shang Xiuxun was extremely surprised by this: "Can wool be used to make clothes?" ”

"Huh!" Li Qin chuckled lightly and gave Li Ya a color.

The latter understood, took out the box he had brought, placed it in front of everyone, and opened it.

The box is divided into two layers, the first of which holds a thick white robe. The style of this dress is very strange, the fabric is structured and has bones.

Li Qin took the clothes off his body and fastened the golden buttons. Almost a different appearance appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone only thinks that this dress is not like Hanfu, and Hufu is not like Hufu.

"This is a military uniform?" Shang Xiuxun's eyes lit up suddenly.

"It's a military uniform!" Li Qin smiled and nodded, and then stepped to the side and lifted the first layer of the box, revealing the second layer of clothes underneath.

That's also a piece of clothing. It's just that this dress is different from the previous one, the style is the short style of traditional Hanfu, and the "fabric" of weaving clothes is different from the traditional one, which is not made of woven dense fabric, but woven with thick wool.

"What is this?" Shang Xiuxun looked a little curious.

"Sweaters, woolen sweaters to be exact. Knit wool into wool threads and knit wool yarns into sweaters! Li Qin explained with a smile: "This kind of clothing is worn under the outer shirt, which is very warm, and it is most suitable for people in the north to spend the winter." Military uniforms can equip armies, and sweaters can keep all civilians warm. It's a big industry. Think about how many people there are in the world, if everyone wears a sweater, then you can really be rich. ”

"This ...... Are you going to give us this property? Li Qin said this, and many people in the ranch were interested in it.

"Hehe, you're excited? Do you have a machine for weaving wool? Do you have the technology to make wool into wool? Li Qin smiled and asked a few questions.

"This ......" Li Qin's words poured out the heat of the people in the ranch at once. None of them could answer Li Qin's question. Only then did they realize that it was not so simple to make a profit from wool.

"You'd better make a supply of wool first!" Li Qin smiled and said, "The technology of wool weaving, I will provide later, but not now." Besides, now your livelihood is mainly on war horses, aren't you? Although I think that the profit of wool will definitely exceed that of war horses in the future, there is no basis for words, and you also need to really see it before you can make up your mind. ”

"That's right!" Shang Xiuxun nodded heavily.

This matter is also decided.

After the two things were discussed, the relationship between the two sides naturally became closer. Although they didn't say anything about an alliance with each other, only that it was a deal, everyone knew that with Li Qin covering all the war horse production of Pegasus Ranch in the next few years, Pegasus Ranch had actually been tied to Li Qin's body.

Pegasus Ranch is optimistic about Li Qin and is willing to bet on Li Qin. In return, Li Qin was not only willing to buy the war horses of Pegasus Ranch at a high price, but also willing to hand over the wool business to Pegasus Ranch to be responsible.

After all, the world will always be unified. And after the unification of the world, war horses will not be so popular! Pegasus Ranch needs to find new points of interest growth, and wool ...... If its prospects are really as broad as Li Qin suggests, then it is indeed a good new direction.

"In this way, the ranch and Wu Gong are connected!" Shang Xiuxun understands this very well.
