Chapter 365: The Contrast Between Busy and Idle
The kitchen quickly prepared simple drinks and served for everyone to enjoy. Because Zhenyi was injured, he couldn't drink, and he couldn't drink with the two of them normally. So! Everything is much simpler. He lay on the recliner and was fed by his subordinates, while Peng Zhou and Lü Buwei sat by the desk to eat and drink.
Both of them were hungry, so they didn't have any more courtesies and went straight to eat.
Lu Buwei suffered some injuries, but the problem was not big, and he was able to eat and drink. He had zero injuries on his legs, scratches on his face and the back of his hands, and the kind that would not become inflamed if he applied the wound medicine. So! Able to eat and drink.
When the town was halfway through eating, he was called away by his subordinates. Because the castle has been battered, there is a lot to deal with.
After dealing with affairs, he was so tired that Zhenyi lay down on a recliner and fell asleep.
Peng Zhou and Lu Buwei continued to eat and drink. But! When it was about to end, Lu Buwei was also called away by Uncle Chang. There are also many things on the caravan's side that he needs to deal with personally.
Peng Zhou was left alone in the living room, eating and drinking alone.
After he was full of wine and food, Peng Zhou saw that there was no one to accompany him, so he didn't care about everything, and sat cross-legged in his seat and entered the cultivation state.
Before I knew it, it was lunch time. But! Peng Zhou was not hungry. Because! Breakfast was eaten late and more. When the soldiers brought him food and drink, they woke him up and told him to eat it while it was hot. He agreed, but did not eat and continued to cultivate.
Because he was busy and tired, Zhenyi didn't come to accompany him or greet him. After finishing the business at hand, Jinyi fell asleep, but when he woke up, he had a fever and was really sick. So! I couldn't come over to greet Peng Zhou.
After Lü Buwei returned to the caravan, he did not come back.
There were more things going on on the caravan's side, and he couldn't keep himself busy at all. To know! So many people died, and he had to be responsible for these people, and he had to register these names and discuss what kind of compensation to give. And also! He had to ask what the situation of these Rao's families was and where they lived.
In addition to these two or three hundred deaths, the caravan itself has a lot of affairs. Before the time! There were cunning robbers who took the opportunity to steal a lot of goods and left, and now some of them were recovered by the reinforcements from the surrounding soldiers. Although some things were recovered, Lu Buwei would not let people help in vain. He can take advantage of this opportunity to build relationships and networks with those people.
In terms of the caravan's goods, he doesn't need to deal with it personally, but Uncle Chang and the arithmetic will handle it. But! They don't have manpower. There used to be nearly 300 caravans, but now there are only a dozen dead and more than 30 wounded, a total of less than 50 people. And there are only a few people who can really help.
As for the caravans, they had to repair the wagons, handle the horses, and collect and sort out the goods.
First collect and sort out the goods, make sure that you know what to do, and then ask the craftsman to repair the carriage. No matter what happened, the caravan still had to deliver the rest of the cargo back. So! It can't be done without a carriage.
And then again! It is to deal with the horses that are supported and the horses that are dead. Those who could be healed by the horses could be treated, and those who could not be healed or could not go with the caravan had to be sold. Dead horses can't be pickled and taken away, so naturally they can only be sold.
Other than that! Also to buy horses and carriages. And more importantly! You have to hire someone else.
In this sparsely populated era, where do you go to find two or three hundred laborers? And! Not only laborers, but also combat effectiveness. If you don't have combat power? What if you encounter robbers on the road? Isn't it?
Although the town has agreed to send troops to escort the caravan. But isn't? If you can, don't bother others. How nice is it to have your own team? Isn't it!
Only your own team can work together. When encountering a robbery, you can unite and worry about the hearts of the people, and the robbers are scared away when they come to a charge, so don't you send the goods to the robbers in vain?
Lü Buwei is a businessman, a very good kind of businessman. Although this time it was a heavy loss, it was also an opportunity.
For others, it may be a particularly unlucky business. Since then, it has been sluggish. Even! I can't get up from being in the debt pit and become a poor egg.
But for Lü Buwei, it was an opportunity.
To know! After this incident, he did not die, and he met many people. At least! He knew all the people who helped him. Even if he doesn't have contact now, he will have a reason to visit people in the future.
As you can imagine! From now on! If he does business in this area, it will be extremely smooth.
Nature! There are some people who may not be worth associating. But! As long as one or two interesting nobles help you, you will have a backer to do business in this area in the future.
Like what! Since he met Hongyi, he was able to do business in the market town, and no one dared to touch him. Those treacherous people wanted to hack him, but after knowing that Lü Buwei had Hongyi as a backer, they didn't dare.
"Lu Zi! Hehe! It's really not easy! ”
"It turns out that you are Lu Zi! Yes! Fortunately! Fortunately! ”
"Lu Zi! Brother of Hongyi! Yes! Sure enough, the bearing is extraordinary! ”
"It turned out to be Lu Zi! Good! ”
"I've made up your friend! Walk! Go drink with me! ”
"Listen to Hongyi has a good brother! It's you! Really! It's a businessman! Interesting! Interesting! ”
All those who have benefited have a different view of Lü Buwei. It's true! They never imagined that a teenager who had just reached adulthood would be so good at handling things! Hey! Look at how he handles things, so tactful! No! It's perfect! It's hard to find a word.
Whenever he encounters this kind of diplomatic scene, Lü Buwei seems to be a different person. Originally! He was very tired and sleepy, and the upper eyelids and the lower eyelids were fighting, just trying to be together. Outcome! When he met foreign affairs, he was immediately refreshed.
Just when Lu Buwei was busy, Peng Zhou, like people from another world, was cultivating cross-legged. Everything around him doesn't seem to have anything to do with him. As if he was not a person in this world, and all the worldly things had nothing to do with him.
The twin sister cried alone in the room for a while, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she couldn't stand it anymore. After sulking for a while, she came out alone with her sword.
She originally wanted to find Peng Zhou and asked Peng Zhou to give up the idea of marrying her. Settle Peng Zhou's side first, and then go to his brother's side and let his brother take back his life. If Peng Zhou doesn't agree to her, she will die for Peng Zhou!
"Do you say yes or not? You don't say yes, do you? Then I'll die for you! The twin sisters were ruthless in their hearts.
But when she came to Peng Zhou's side, she saw Peng Zhou sitting cross-legged in the living room practicing, and when she saw the other party's cultivation, she laughed angrily.
Seeing that Peng Zhou was cultivating and couldn't see her, she looked at the other party seriously.
