Chapter 62: Who told you that you could make a fortune by making glass?
The kind of recruitment method proposed by Lu Su, as soon as Li Su heard it, the crime of the black slave trader in the middle school history textbook suddenly appeared in his mind:
"They thought it was too expensive to buy the freemen directly, so they instigated the local tribal chiefs in Africa to fight and buy prisoners of war cheaply from the victorious chiefs. If you buy a tribesman directly, you can only exchange five ponies for one; But if you buy the backlog of prisoners of war, you can exchange them for twenty-five."
It's just the same thing.
It's just that this strategy is a bit inconsistent with Lu Su's age, and even an old yin like Li Su feels that his backbone is slightly cold.
He coughed lightly and asked casually, "Brother Xian is very knowledgeable, these are all your own thoughts?" ”
Lu Su smiled lightly: "It's better to go out and walk more than to study, I was born recklessly and didn't have the opportunity to visit famous teachers, but this is also good, I can have more knowledge than other people who are bound by famous teachers, and I can wander freely."
Brother Boya, don't bully me when I am young, I have also run all over the counties of Xuzhou, and I have made many friends in Xiapi and Guangling. Several of them are a few years older than me, and they are also quite talented, they either live in Chaohu Lake, or live in Jinghu Lake and Shanyang Pond for a generation, and there are Danyang soldiers and heroes in the local area. It was only when I traveled with them that I found out what was going on. ”
Li Su was relieved: it turned out that Lu Su was not so evil and insidious at the age of 16, and he came up with a trick of instigating the war and buying prisoners of war. It's that the local Danyang Haoshuai has been doing this for many years, and Lu Su has dealt with the three sects and nine streams, and has learned these market wisdoms from his ears and eyes.
"The pursuit of profit in human nature is really due to nature. I didn't expect that those Shanyue chiefs, who were illiterate, could also summarize the way of doing business and selling on their own to maximize their profits. ”
After thinking about this, Li Su couldn't help but sigh.
Learning and conspiracies do not have to rely on the learning of saints.
The instinctive pursuit of money is the biggest driving force for human beings to continue to ponder and progress. Even barbarians will use their brains crazy in order to make more money.
After smoothing out his thoughts, Li Su immediately said: "That being the case, tomorrow we will go to Elk Zizhong to raise some money, and in the next few days, Brother Lao Xian will help to find out more news about the handsomes of Danyang from all walks of life, as well as the recent grievances between them."
If the recruitment can be smoother at that time, I will definitely persuade the Captain Wuqiu to show the merits of the virtuous brother, so that the virtuous brother can be appointed to the official position as soon as he goes north to Youzhou. ”
"Dare to disobey."
The group then drank and talked in Lu Su's manor, and Lu Su instructed Zhuang Ke to kill a few chickens, ducks and rabbits, and drink with the three of them.
Because there were few sheep in the south, he slaughtered another pig and gave food to the twenty soldiers who came with him.
After a long conversation all night, Li Su's understanding of Lu Su's talent also deepened.
Lu Su does have the potential to be an elder in the future, but his elder style is not because he is as loyal as depicted in the romance, but because of "I know how to calculate, but I also know when to be open and honest to maximize the efficiency of transactions for both parties".
In other words, Lu Su has the ability to be yin, and it is not because he can't do it with IQ, but because he doesn't want to.
After a deep talk, Li Su's deepest impression on the other party was simplified into four words: pragmatism.
Born in a local tyrant and without the burden of being a doorman, Lu Su's degree of pragmatism has to compete with Guan Yu.
It is no wonder that such an elder style person was the first in history to say to Sun Quan that "the Han family cannot be revived". Change to a little formalistic and reserved, who dares to tell such a shocking truth.
But fortunately, Li Su is also a very pragmatic person, he falsely claimed to be from Han Fei, and compared to the Han Dynasty, I don't know how much more practical it is, which is a typical "don't deal with real disasters for the sake of fame".
So after chatting and chatting, Lu Su also felt quite surprised, he simply met a confidant, and he had to pull him to sleep and chat all night that night.
……
stayed overnight in Lujiazhuang, and the next day Li Su and his entourage hurried up again and went to Qu County to hook up with Mizhu to raise donations.
Because the security on the last way to Mi Zhu's house was very good, and he had to pass through Quyang on the way back, Li Su didn't bring all his personal soldiers.
He only brought half of the people, and he could have two horses for one person and a little more horsepower. The remaining ten personal soldiers just happened to assist Lu Su, in case Lu Su needed bodyguards when he investigated the grievances and information of Danyang Haoshuai these days, let these people help with chores.
Quyang is adjacent to Qu County, which is only sixty or seventy miles, and one person and two horses only ran for a morning to arrive.
However, the request for a meeting after arriving was not very smooth - it was still the same sentence, when people in the Han Dynasty saw guests, they made an appointment three days in advance before they called "please/worship", and it was very rude to come temporarily.
As the richest man in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu has too many people who want to see him, so the three-day appointment period is full all the time. Unless a well-known official from the state is visiting, he can cut the line.
After Li Su and his entourage reported their identities and intentions, the steward of the Mi family saw that they were officials, and although they were from remote states, they did not dare to be rude.
Whether they see it or not, arrange their guest rooms and maidservants first, and entertain them with good food and drink.
After settling down, the steward said sincerely: "It's not that I don't see all the distinguished guests, but the head of the family is indeed not in this county today, and I went to the county two days ago to meet with some officialdom friends, and made an appointment to return the day after that."
All the guests who want to see the head of the house are scheduled to be the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and they really can't get in. If there is really an urgent matter, if the second master can deal with it, he will arrange for the distinguished guests to see the second master tomorrow. ”
Li Su was stunned for a moment when he heard the Mi family steward mention the "second master", and then realized that it was Mi Fang, Li Su thought about it again and again, and decided that he would rather wait one more day.
Although Mi Fang has no bad deeds now, he always feels that Guan Yu and Mi Fang will not be compatible with each other, so it is better not to see each other first.
"Then let's wait."
The deadline for the rendezvous in Guangling that I discussed with Wu Qiu Yi is the 5th of May, and today is only April 22, so I can afford to wait. Before, I hurried on the road, didn't I just leave a little more margin when I met the rich?
It's not that people don't mean to be missing, it's really not there, and there's no way.
The housekeeper of the Mi family saw that these two officials were quite polite, and they did not dare to slack off, and they all used the best furnishings and utensils in the house to entertain guests and use them for their daily use.
Li Su stayed in the Mi family for one night, and did not touch the maid sent by the Mi family to serve the distinguished guests.
But he got up early the next morning and accepted the service of the maidservant, helped him wash his hair, tie his hair again, and put on a crown.
There's no way, it's been a few months since I came to this era, and Li Sube's life and hygiene can take care of himself, but it's really troublesome to mess with his hair.
Parents who are affected by the hair and skin of the body, and they can't shave their heads in this era, in fact, Li Su has secretly taken advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention to it, and slightly cut at least half of the hair, but it still looks like his hair is coiled on the outside. A big man has never had long hair in his previous life, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
When you go to a rich family to play the autumn breeze, of course, you have to wash your hair every day to stop itching.
However, just after he washed his hair early in the morning, when the maidservant tied his hair and wore a crown on him and asked him if he was satisfied, Li Su was instantly confused.
For he saw that the maidservant was holding a silver mirror that was quite clear.
"! Through the first common sense of the novel, isn't it that there was no glass in ancient times, only a vague metal mirror? Why does this mirror seem to be okay too? ”
Li Su knew that he would definitely not be able to drum up the industrial ability to burn glass in his life, so he left the mirror behind at the beginning of the crossing.
But it seems that the degree of rigidity of the mirror for glass is not as serious as those time-traveling novels......
