Zhao Qing had to stay here for two hours when passing through Longwang Town, where he had been stationed for several years, and under the military reclamation, thousands of abandoned wasteland near the town became the main source of supplies for his army.

If it is still like the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry of the year, and set up a card to strip the merchants passing through here, Zhao Qingzi can also live a good life, but it will never make tens of thousands of people in this town kneel down on the street, with him here for several years, the population loss of Longwang Town has stopped, and many people who have gone to other towns have heard the news and returned.

In addition to the 8,000 elite soldiers in Quanzhou City, plus the 6,000 soldiers in Longwang Town, as well as the reserve baggage soldiers selected from the town of Wang in the south of Quanzhou, Zhao Qing's subordinates are all lightly armored cavalry, good at raiding, good at fighting on the plains, although the plain area of Yizhou in Shandong is far away, but it is also the reason why Emperor Hui wants to promote young generals.

I don't know who the news that Zhao Qing was going to leave spread from Quanzhou Mansion, it is estimated that it was done by the mouthy people in the army, and the residents of the town came out of the empty alleys, kneeling from both sides of the road outside the town to the north of the town, and holding their best food and clothing in their hands to give to the army.

Zhao Qing first ordered the army to stay outside the town for a while, and then entered the town to hand over to one hundred households left behind in the town.

"Pass the order! Send soldiers to persuade the people to turn back to their homes, and there is no need to send them off like this! I will return in the new year. Zhao Qing gave an order to this hundred households on the central flag tower in the military camp in the north of the town.

"Yes, Lord Wanhu!" This hundred households took the order and left.

Zhao Qing's eyes were a little dazed, and he looked from the highest point of the military camp to the southeast side of the town, which was the direction of Quanzhou, where Xianglan'er was.

"This is going to the boundary of Shandong, and the rapid march will be able to arrive in ten days! If you want to raise an army to start a war, it must be before the Yellow River freezes, otherwise the supply and combat effectiveness of the army will definitely decline, county lord! I will be back at the end of two months, and I hope those two will not make any changes during this time! Zhao Qing's eyes showed a hint of reluctance.

"My general is not only for the Yuan court, it is my ambition to achieve peace for the people, the county lord is so considerate of the people, it is not like the actions of the prime minister Shi back then, this may be the reason why I, as a descendant of the Song family, love her so much!" When he muttered this, Zhao Qing couldn't help but shake his head.

Descendants of the Song Dynasty? Zhao Qing's surname is Zhao, could it be that he is ......

"Shang Yu, don't be polite! I just came to visit Mr. Lu as an ordinary guest, so I don't have to be too restrained! Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but have a strange feeling when she saw Shang Yu, the temperament of Shang Yu in front of her was completely different from the last time they met.

If Shang Yu gave people the feeling that he was just a simple country boy last time, at this moment, Shang Yu gave people a feeling that could not be underestimated, as if the temperament of the whole person had changed, and there seemed to be something more.

When Shang Yu saw Xiang Lan'er say this, he immediately said, "Thank you, County Lord!" I think it's a trivial matter in our house for the county lord to hear, so it doesn't hurt! I was just about to talk to the master about it, and I thought of an excellent method of purchasing, which might be useful if it could be used in the management of the business. Halfway through speaking, he turned his head and said to Lu Shaobei.

When Lu Shaobei heard him say this, he immediately turned around and confessed to Xianglan'er and apologized, then turned around and asked, "Tell me, how did you do that?" ”

"Master! Yes, I found that the spare parts in the house are often stored for many years and are not used, and some things have to be purchased repeatedly, the former backlog of goods, and for a long time, those things are also easy to deteriorate, and waste the silver taels in the house, I calculate the monthly consumption of those spare parts while doing the accounts, so as to reduce the monthly expenditure and the backlog of goods! ”

"Buying land and goods repeatedly wastes manpower and time to buy a house, so I asked a guy to go to each hall in the house to settle the ten-year expenses, so that I only need to buy three times a month to solve these problems."

"And the third point is the key point, most of the items purchased by Lu Cai Steward are purchased from the seven major markets and hundreds of stores, which is not only a waste of time, but also not conducive to saving silver taels, and the price is not uniform!"

"The first time I made a purchase, I looked at the accounts of the past three years and selected a few reasonably priced and reputable shops, all of which are located in the heart of the seven markets, and I handed over a partial list of the items I needed directly to the seven shops and they bought them for the house." Shang Yu couldn't help but smile on his face when he said this.

"What? Let seven stores buy on your behalf? Wouldn't the price be much higher than usual? Besides, with so many types of items, how can we ensure sufficient quantity and quality? Lu Shaobei couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and immediately asked.

Xiang Lan'er was also taken aback after hearing this, and said in her heart: "Most of the large families buy this kind of work by reliable people in the house, so as to prevent the recovery of high-quality and high-priced things from outside procurement, although I am the county lord, but I also know a little about it, this Shang Yu is really young and ignorant, and he whimsically uses outsiders to procure, so isn't it to let people raise the price very high, and the quality of the goods is impossible to choose one by one, it seems that this Shang Yu is really imaginary!" ”

Unexpectedly, after Shang Yu listened to Mr. Lu's words, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Master, the silver taels I use are a little less than when the Lu financial manager is in charge, and there will be benefits for business, so as long as the goods are circulating, there must be profits, but more or less!" You told me about this a long time ago, don't you say? ”

Lu Shaobei didn't understand what Shang Yu meant before, but when he heard Shang Yu's words, he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Xiao Yu, it turns out that you are giving up your profits to those seven stores, and with the ability of those stores, when purchasing goods, the price will be lower than that of the purchasing staff in our house." ”

"In this way, if you don't leave the house, it is equivalent to using those seven stores to gather hundreds of items into one, and those who send the goods to the seven stores, in order to be able to supply them for a long time, must ensure the quality, otherwise the people of these seven stores will not cut off their own money, I don't know if the teacher guessed correctly?" Lu Shaobei stroked his beard and said with a laugh, completely forgetting that there was a county lord in the house, he shouldn't have been so carried away.

After hearing this, Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but be stunned, and said in her heart: "This form is really incredible!" Is that all? ”

But I heard Shang Yu say over there: "Master! I really can't hide anything from you, and I did! Yesterday I divided the list into seven parts, and sent them to the seven most reputable shops in the city, which were recommended by the seven Mu Thirteen, and posted them outside, and many of the merchants in the bazaars sent their goods to those shops to be purchased! ”

"When it comes to selecting goods, no matter how capable I am, I can't prepare hundreds of goods in one day, and I don't have the energy to bargain for them all, but the guys in those shops do a very good job, and they will select the best goods from some merchants to provide for the use of the house."

"At the same time, not only did the purchase of houses in the house save time, but also set the price at a very low position, but those merchants and the seven major stores still made a steady profit!" Shang Yu said with a smile.

When Lu Shaobei heard this, there was still a trace of gloom on his face before it completely dissipated, but he still said with a hint of doubt: "Then why are you wandering around the city again, and those family members are not staying in the mansion, and why is this?" ”

After Shang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I took my family to the seven stores to observe the acquisition, and I also allowed the seven stores to post a word on the door, and that picture is: The goods of this store are specially for Quanzhou Fulu Mansion." And I also stamped the stamp of the house on that banner! ”

"I think my Lu firm is the head of Quanzhou Mansion, can provide goods for our Lu Mansion where the owner of the Lu Mansion resides, which is virtually to make them have an extra live sign, the people and the merchants will trust these seven stores more, so the reason is that the seven stores will also increase greatly in the weekday business sales, and at the same time, it also makes the reputation of our Lu firm more resounding, if the rich businessmen from other places pass by, they will definitely hear the name of the Lu business, which is a double win! That's what I've been doing since yesterday afternoon and this morning! Shang Yu said this, his face was full of excitement, and his eyes also flashed with wisdom.

"Xiao Yu, how did you come up with this method? You talk to the teacher and listen to it. Hearing Shang Yu completely say this unprecedented practice, Lu Shaobei was completely stunned, he could also think of using others to buy items in the front, that was not unusual, but the later use of the reputation of the Lu family to make live signs for the seven stores, and in turn made the reputation of the Lu family business in Quanzhou Mansion even louder, this method was something he couldn't think of anyway, so he couldn't help but ask Shang Yu.

"This ...... Master, don't be angry! This method is what I learned from Mr. Liu, another teacher in our village! When Shang Yu said this, he couldn't help but sigh a little, because he was afraid that Lu Shaobei would blame him for having worshiped his teacher.

"I see, your Mr. Liu turned out to be your master! This man is really a strange man, but he doesn't know where he is at this time! The village where you used to live is destroyed! It would be a pity that he would not find you when he returned. If this person can join my Lu Clan, he will be a hundred times stronger than me! Lu Shaobei couldn't help but yearn for Mr. Liu in Shang Yu's mouth at this time.

With the knowledge left by Mr. Liu alone, Shang Yu was able to come up with the idea that what should have been done in a week could be completed in two days, which increased the speed several times, and also achieved a large number of merchants, and also improved the reputation of the seven shops and the Lu firm in Quanzhou, which was absolutely unimaginable in Lu Shaobei's opinion.

Shang Yu couldn't help but feel a little gloomy after hearing this, and only heard him say: "I don't know where Master Liu went, he didn't tell me!" In his heart, he couldn't help but feel the scene of Liu Xingbao entering the strange whirlpool, he would not say the strange state of Liu Xingbao when he left, it was Liu Xingbao who told him not to say anything to outsiders.

After listening to Shang Yudi's words, Xiang Lan'er sat there and asked softly, "Shang Yu, this palace asks you, can you say the name of your master?" Xiang Lan'er heard Shang Yu say about the purchase process, it was like listening to a book from heaven, she had learned all the strategies in the Shang Classics, and vaguely felt that Shang Yu's last way to improve her reputation seemed to be called "building momentum" in the Shang Classics, so she couldn't help but ask Shang Yu.

As she asked, she thought to herself, "Maybe it's the seniors in the Iron Shirt Gate!" Ask the name, this kind of business trick should not be circulated in the world, but I don't know if Mr. Liu's master knows each other! When you go back to the house, you might as well ask the master. ”

Shang Yu raised his head and said, "County Lord! Please forgive me, Master Liu ordered me not to mention his old man's name to anyone! Otherwise, they will not recognize me as his disciple! After saying this, Shang Yu couldn't help but think of what Liu Xingbao said.

"Xiao Yu, you are not allowed to mention my name in front of anyone! Nor shall my name be written in any way! Until now, Shang Yu didn't understand what Liu Xingbao meant by this, but thinking of the incomparably complicated knowledge that Liu Xingbao had instilled in his heart, he couldn't help but think of this teacher very much, but he didn't show it on his face.

When Xiang Lan'er heard Shang Yu say this, she was even more curious, but she knew that it was inconvenient and reluctant, there were countless strange people in the world, and they were unwilling to reveal their identities, forcing Shang Yu to reveal the name of the division commander, although Xiang Lan'er was the county lord, she also knew that this was a taboo.

"Since your master doesn't allow you to say it, forget it! I just don't know what else your master taught you? Xiang Lan'er felt more and more that Shang Yu was different, and the look in her eyes was definitely different from when she had just entered the city, and there was even a feeling of wanting to be close, which made her very puzzled.

When Lu Shaobei heard Xiang Lan'er's question, it was inconvenient for him to interject, but he stood on the side and thought: "Then Mr. Liu is actually proficient in such a business and Taoist strange science, if he is in charge of the business alliance, then he can repeat the prosperity of the past, and he can use his infinite financial resources to help the virtuous people in the righteous army to restore my Han country, but I want to hear what Xiao Yu learned from him?" ”

For a while, the leader of the Shang Alliance, who was committed to the Lu family's firm, felt that as Shang Yu's master, he couldn't compare to another master in Shang Yudi, and he was a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But I heard Shang Yu say: "I can't tell for a while, county lord!" Do you remember that I used to ride in the same car with you, and the knowledge of the celestial physiognomy I told you at that time was the best knowledge that the master taught me! ”

Hearing Shang Yu say this, Xiang Lan'er lost interest and couldn't help but say, "Are the earth under your feet round, and the stars all fireballs bigger than the sun?" Those are all strange words, and I'm a little tired! Mr. Lu, this palace is going back to the house at this moment, and I hope you can think about what I said to you before! ”

She knew at this moment that Shang Yu was obviously deliberately not talking, so she wanted to ask her master, what kind of strange people in the world could pass on the knowledge in the Shang Classics to Shang Yu, and it was plausible, so she excused herself to leave, and she really couldn't believe that people lived on a huge ball of mud and wouldn't fall outside.

"County Lord! Grass people send you home! Lu Shaobei saw that Xianglan'er was leaving, so he hurriedly saluted and said, and glared at Shang Yu from the corner of his eye.

Shang Yudi's mind was still thinking about everything Liu Xingbao taught him, but when he saw Lu Shaobei glaring at him, he hurriedly bent down and saluted Xianglan'er: "Grass people Shang Yu Gong sent the county lord back to his house!" ”

Xiang Lan'er waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite!" The main palace is escorted by soldiers, and the carriage is outside! You don't have to give it away. ”

As he spoke, he paused slightly, and said to Shang Yu again: "Shang Yu, you will never be an ordinary person in the future!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed the door away, and the two maids behind him immediately followed, and several soldiers standing outside the door saw Xianglan'er go out of the room, and after saluting her, they escorted her and walked out.

Shang Yu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Xiang Lan'er to say that he would leave, he still wanted to ask Shen Fu about it, but he missed the opportunity, and many years later, he had the opportunity to mention this matter to Xiang Lan'er.

"Xiao Yu! It's a pleasure to have the county lord praise you like this, as a teacher! The county lord is a daughter, you are just an ordinary person, don't think about it! There are some things that need to be asked of you at the moment, and you need to tell them about it! On the side, Lu Shaobei misunderstood that Shang Yu was seeing the beautiful county lord leaving, and the young man was a little reluctant, so he couldn't help but grab Shang Yu and said.

At this time, Na Lu Cai and Ding Qiqi walked out of the next room and walked into Lu Shaobei's room.

"Mr. Lu, may I ask what you want to do with this little steward of the amusement area?" If it weren't for Lu Shaobei's face, Ding Seventeen would have scolded Shang Yu as a small animal, and his tone was extremely bad, in a place very close to Shang Yu, his saliva was rising, and his eyes were staring at Shang Yu viciously.
