Xu Fu saw Liu Feng's refusal, he was not angry at all, but said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Liu Jiabao is in trouble right now!" With all due respect, I can provide 20,000 stone of food, but is the Lord sincere? ”

Hearing this, Liu Feng laughed loudly: "Young Master Xu! You are too small, I admit that the current Liujiabao is short of grain, but it is not yet the time to open the pot, you know, I Liujiabao has hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, as long as the grain is harvested, there will be no shortage of grain, and we can still survive more than two months. ”

This is also Liu Feng's heart, although he is currently in the predicament of lack of grain, but Liu Feng is not short of money, in the Northern Han Dynasty, one or two silver and two stone grain, and in the Southern Tang Dynasty or Shu can buy four stone grain, as long as Liu Feng raises the price of grain, I think there is a grain chamber of commerce to sell it to Liujiapu, but suddenly raising the price of grain will make the life of the villagers in Liujiabao become poor, Liu Feng is not good at doing this.

At this time, one stone of grain is about 100 catties, and Liu Feng's food gap is more than 100,000 stones, and the more food is better for Liu Feng, not to mention that the three state capitals of the Later Han Dynasty have suffered from drought, that is, Liu Feng will continue to recruit displaced people in the future, and he will still need food. It's just that he doesn't want to spend all his energy at this stage on raising food.

After a slight blow to Xu Fatzi, Liu Feng continued: "We can do some other business here, as Young Master Xu said, we need food, and Huainan is a famous granary." Regarding the porcelain vase of Liujiayao, I want to open a porcelain vase appreciation auction in Liujiabao in two months, so that I can reserve the next set of porcelain vases for the Xu family; But the waterwheel, we don't have time to make it, of course, the drawings of the waterwheel, I can also provide it together, I think there are still some skilled craftsmen in the Xu family. ”

was shocked by Liu Feng's words, and after a little retraction, Xu Fu said: "I don't know what kind of appreciation auction it is?" ”

Knowing Xu Fu's curiosity, Liu Feng smiled and said, "Brother Xu, follow me to the street, and you will naturally understand." ”

……

Xu Fu followed Liu Feng, who was bluffing, and came to the south gate together, because there was construction going on here, so when he entered the fort, he went around to the north gate and entered, and he didn't see the scene of the south gate in full swing.

Although Xu Fu is also a figure in the world, he was also stunned by the scene in front of him, about 30,000 or 40,000 people working The scene can not be described as hot, standing on the mottled old fortress wall and looking south, it is roughly divided into six construction sites, which can be the base of the city wall that has gradually taken up the scale, and five homesteads.

There are many people, but there is no chaos, everyone is busy with their own things in an orderly manner, women and old people are also doing their work on the construction sites everywhere, doing what they can, these people do not seem to be doing labor, there are foremen, and there can be thousands of strong men in uniform wearing uniform and also working together, from time to time you can hear them laughing at something.

There are many differences that impact Xu Fu's perception, the construction site in front of him, Liu Feng was also proud for a while, turned to Xu Fu and said: "I moved the city wall three miles south, just to build these five high-rise buildings, we plan to build five restaurants, named after the five divine beasts, and the Qilin Building in the middle is the appreciation and bidding venue." ”

Fu was still shocked, Liu Feng smiled proudly, when the construction started, he advocated that the construction should be luxurious and atmospheric, so that the people who came to participate in the appreciation and auction realized what kind of existence Liujiabao was.

Seeing that Xu Fu came back to his senses a little, Liu Feng sighed with emotion: "I'm not afraid of Brother Xu's jokes, most of the porcelain bottles sold by my Liujiayao are used to build these restaurants, and they are a little out of reach all of a sudden!" ”

Hearing such an obvious hint, if the shrewd Xu Fu didn't understand it anymore, there was no need for Liu Feng to cooperate with him, and after tightening his mind, Xu Fu immediately said in a straight voice: "Thanks to Lord Liu Bao, you will reveal such important information to me, our Xu family has not many others, and there are still some food network craftsmen." ”

Xu Fu couldn't hesitate, and when he found out the news, he knew that Liu Jiabao was going to open a porcelain vase auction, but he didn't expect it to be on such a large scale. On the way to Liujiapu, he has already realized that Liujiabao's control over this area, neatly dressed soldiers are patrolling outside the fort, and the soldiers with calm faces are not soldiers, but they are elite soldiers who have seen blood.

Coupled with Liu Feng's propaganda in the past two months, a trend of chasing porcelain has arisen in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty and Later Han Dynasty, and Liujiabao is no longer a small Wu Fort to the outside world, but a holy place where the poor can live on their own; For the wealthy family, they can get the treasure land of porcelain vases that have been handed down in the world.

Compared with before, the people who come and go to Liujiabao are all nearby villagers, but now it is very different. Merchants from all over the world, or spies sent by the envoys of the family, all felt that the auction in Liujiabao would be an unprecedented event in a restaurant of this scale.

Xu Fu secretly thought to himself that this was an opportunity, if Liujiabao was not short of food now, he would definitely not give up the shares of this restaurant. This point is so wrong that he thinks about it, Liu Feng will not occupy the restaurant at all, his original intention is to divide the shares of these four restaurants, so as to tie those merchants to him Liujiabao.

With common interests, the next step is to negotiate, Liu Feng handed these over to Liu Yanbei, and Xu Fu also asked the shopkeeper who came with him to negotiate, and he watched it in the castle with Liu Feng.

When Liu Feng took him to observe the camp of craftsmen, burning, clothes, skins, salt, medicine, spinning, etc., the originally calm and happy expression was no longer calm, and he tried to curry favor with Liu Feng and learn from him, but Liu Feng also needed such a powerful person in the Nantang shopping mall to solve his doubts, and they chatted quite for a while.

His camps, in addition to the burner to make clothes and salt have set up a skeleton and officially operated, the rest of the camps are still only under construction, of course, they need external forces to promote development, only by actively absorbing good technology and good models, there will be better development, Liu Feng of course understands this.

Although he promised to further strengthen cooperation, Liu Feng also understood that this kind of collective labor workshop had not yet prevailed in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he was just the first to take the lead.

After consultation, the Xu family agreed to transport 100,000 stones of grain to Liujiabao in five batches, and provided 100 masons and 100 carpenters and blacksmiths. Forty percent of Liujiabao's shares in Zhuque Lou are held by the Xu family, and Liujiabao provides a shop on the street and a set of fine porcelain.

At this stage, everyone is happy, and Liu Feng has always solved the food problem.
