Chapter 499: Glass Exhibition
The Governor's Mansion, General Li De, the captains, the city guard Li Shimin, the city gate guard Luo Yi, and Li Jiancheng and others all gathered in the war room for a meeting.
"Send troops to the Turks, what do you think?" Li De asked.
"Grand Governor, I'm going to fight!" Shi Huaiyi shouted.
"Okay, calm down, send troops to the Turks to prepare early, I will send 100,000 soldiers and horses to use the way of fighting to make the new recruits of the vanguard transform into elite soldiers in a hundred battles." Li Dedao.
The lieutenants were enthusiastic when they heard this.
"Grand Governor, is the garrison of Youzhou City sufficient?" Li Jing said.
"Don't worry, now that millions of soldiers and horses are gathered in the north, they won't take care of Youzhou for a while."
Li De simply explained the specific considerations and did not say it in front of everyone, after all, it was a bold idea, and he didn't want to annoy the soldiers, so it was better to let them think that Youzhou City was foolproof.
"This time I will send troops to the Turks, I will send five captains, and the rest will stay in Youzhou City, let's draw lots to decide."
Li De said this, everyone has no complaints, everything is determined by luck, the draw is longer than the length, and the props have been prepared for a long time.
After waiting for ten people to draw lots, they immediately screened out the personnel, and coincidentally this time the expedition was all used to brave Du Wei, Luo Song, Shi Huaiyi, Ding Qilin, Gao Cheng, and He Bida.
The people who didn't draw were naturally very disappointed, but they had already said that they could only blame bad luck if they couldn't draw it all by luck, and after the lieutenants' emotions stabilized, Li Decai continued: "Now it's the logistics group that goes out, General Luo, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Jing, you can all participate, there are two places." ”
Li Shimin heard that he was very strong to smoke, but he knew that he had this opportunity, but he couldn't leave, so he had to say helplessly: "I want to stay in the city to deal with affairs, so I won't participate." ”
"Well, let's start smoking the rest of the people."
I don't know if it's intentional, in the end, Li Jing and Luo Yi drew it, Li Jiancheng's face didn't see any change, to say that Li Jiancheng wanted to go to the Turks, but he didn't want his soldiers and horses to be damaged, and he was very conflicted in his heart.
Now it's okay, because of luck, he doesn't have a psychological burden, just continue to stay in Youzhou City.
Li De made a very detailed plan with the lieutenants, all of which were judged based on the information gathered from the Turkic side, and after discussion, the vanguard entered the stage of war preparation.
The logistical support guards were all in operation, a large number of materials were loaded, and at the same time, the merchants were also transporting supplies to Youzhou City from afar.
Millions of soldiers and horses need to eat and drink, but it is not something that can be solved by a few state capitals, and the imperial court also has a large number of materials sent here, and a large number of merchants suddenly poured into Youzhou City, and it soon became lively.
Li De and Li Shimin stood outside the gatehouse at the city gate and watched the large and small caravans entering through the city gate for a long time.
"The troubles in Youzhou City have become prosperous." Li Shimin said.
"It's still the surface, if there are no millions of soldiers and horses, I'm afraid I really won't see a caravan of this scale appear in Youzhou City." Li De responded lightly, and fell silent for a long time.
"What does my brother-in-law mean, and what do I have to do to really appear in Youzhou, which is prosperous?" Li Shimin asked following Li De's words.
"In fact, it is not difficult to say, it is easy to say that it is simple, as long as the businessmen do not flow out." Li De laughed.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and shook his head, how to keep the businessman, he thought about it for a long time and had no idea, so he had to expect Li De to tell him.
Usually at this time, he knew that Li De's idea could help him solve the question.
"There are many ways to retain businessmen, such as giving them preferential decrees, encouraging workshops to innovate and make products better, there are many ways."
Li De had already thought about it, so many businessmen who transported materials over drove the development of the inn industry in Youzhou City, and at the same time, the income of the catering industry was developing rapidly.
The recipes given by Li De have brought considerable income to the inns and restaurants in Youzhou City, all of which are the vanguard industry, and now there are 200,000 soldiers and horses to raise, which is not a small amount of money.
With the cement workshop now only able to solve part of the funds, Li De's toiletries workshop has expanded several times in a row, and all the income has become the vanguard's funds.
But it was only enough for a short period of time, so it was an urgent matter to solve the problem of funds, and I suddenly thought of it when I stopped to watch it with Li Shimin on the city gate tower.
"It's a good thing that there are many merchants, and I will notify you that you will hold a glass exhibit meeting in Youzhou City in the next three days, and invite all the people in Youzhou City to participate." Li De told Li Shimin the details.
Why not open an auction, in fact, this has something to do with the products owned by Li De, they are all glass products, and the auction price may not be a good thing if it is too high.
The point is that he wants to keep a low profile, and the effect may be better than the auction in another way.
Three days later, there were various booths in the inner courtyard of the Governor's Palace, and there were special guards in charge of guarding the entire courtyard, and the merchants entered as if they were being led by a guide.
Walking in front of each booth, there will be a docent to give an introduction.
"Glazed tea cup, delicate peony flower carving, this is glazed cabbage, meaning the meaning of wealth, this pendant pendant is not expensive at all, as long as three hundred dollars, the collection of good products, will definitely be able to appreciate."
As soon as the businessmen came in, they disliked too many people, and when they saw the glass exhibits, the situation was different, and they couldn't take a step directly, and each booth was divided into different areas.
For example, trinkets, pendants, earrings, glass-headed hairpins and other things are concentrated in one area in front of several counters, and there is no transparent glass to block it, so soldiers can only be used on the side of the counter.
This kind of security makes the businessmen extra careful when watching.
After the small commodities are medium ornaments, all kinds of new items let the person in charge of explaining the sky is crazy, of course, the price is also impressive.
There are also larger exhibits, such as glass vases, cutlery, and tea are divided into separate areas.
The entire inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion was on guard, and after a while, the entire exhibition turned into a trade fair, and many merchants saw business opportunities.
Especially small pendants, although expensive, but according to the market has been profitable, many businessmen began to buy a large number of orders, casual business orders are thousands of times.
After the excitement,It's the work of counting the money to the cramps in the hand.,The logistics support for the people came to count the money and count the accounts, but it's annoying.,Really don't give the heavy copper money to the disgusting road.。。
Fortunately, many commodities are paid for in gold and silver.
It took two days to count the income, which has exceeded 300,000 yuan, and some merchants who are temporarily in arrears have made appointments for goods, and then asked their families to send money to settle the settlement.
