When a butcher has the ideal of making a fortune, he is no longer a butcher, but a butcher who wants to get rich......

That's right, no matter how you say it, it makes sense, it's a little nonsense, but Master Qian didn't dare to refute, and he didn't even dare to roll his eyes when he stood in front of Li Su.

The killing of thirteen officials, Qian Fuzi had naturally heard of it, and among the onlookers in the Xizhou market that day, he was among them, and he saw the whole process in his eyes, and then, he couldn't help but have a fear of Li Su.

Yes, fear, the fear of walking at night and inexplicably encountering a green-faced and fanged demon.

I met once in the camp before, Qian Fuzi was only in awe of Li Su at most, and it was not Li Su who was in awe, but his identity, the fourth-grade official position, the county viscount title, and the figure who stood up to the sky, must be very favored by His Majesty the Tang Emperor, otherwise how could a teenager climb to this position?

Until the heads of the thirteen officials hit the ground and blood splattered, Qian Fuzi stood in the crowd and gasped, only to feel creepy and cold from head to toe.

From that day on, Qian Fuzi felt extremely afraid of Li Su, what he was afraid of was no longer his identity, but his person, this teenage boy had a ruthlessness and ruthlessness that was not the same as other teenagers, and his previous perception was completely reversed, and he was able to be knighted at the age of ten years, presumably relying not only on the emperor's favor, but ...... This person has the ability and ability to sit in this position.

Even if Master Qian decides, he must hold on to Li Su's thigh in the future and never let go, not for his own wealth, but for the thirteen officials who were beheaded at the beginning, and the root cause of it. It was he who honestly confessed it, and if he didn't hug Li Su's thigh, he probably wouldn't live to the day when he died.

The little people have the plans of the little people, although the little people don't see it in the long run, but every idea they have is carefully calculated, and Master Qian didn't want the money sent by Li Su at the beginning. Money is very important, but hugging the thighs is even more important, and the butcher who can hold the thigh is the ideal butcher.

This move undoubtedly won Li Su's appreciation, if Master Qian took the money, then, the transaction between the two ended, and since then they have not been in contact with each other, and Master Qian refused the money. It shows that this person is stronger than ordinary little people, then, this person can be used, and Li Su doesn't mind giving him a wealth that is more important than money.

So Li Su called Master Qian today.

"What is the life of the butcher?" Li Su looked at Qian Fuzi curiously: "Do you have to kill pigs and sheep every day?" ”

Qian Butcher smiled bitterly: "Don't make fun of the villain, in such a desolate border city, where are there so many pigs and sheep for the villain to kill?" The villain only moves the knife once every ten days, and there is a market in the city, which is on the first and fifteenth day of the new year every month. There were Tibetans in the south and Turks in the north who brought flocks, and there were not many. At a time, ten or twenty of them, those men sold sheep, and the fur was to be cut off and returned to them, and they took back to the tribe to give them clothes for nitrate, and the rest of the meat and water were exchanged for food and wine, and sometimes for two strong slaves or Peugeot bearded women. ”

Li Su smiled: "Neither the Tibetans nor the Turks are too rich. It's okay for them to sell sheep for food, but for bearded women and wine, which is a bit unrealistic, right? ”

Qian Fuzi showed a discriminatory face with standard Datang characteristics, and said proudly in a haughty overlooking attitude: "Who said it wasn't? To say that these monkeys are also quite industrious. Captivity grazing all out of the way, but it is too bad to live, the tribe is hungry and full, it is good to be able to feed a family, but the alcohol addiction is very big, the sheep came all the way to exchange money, the city poured half a pound of horse urine to make a fool, just exchanged for the silver money and took it to exchange for wine, saw the slave market is selling the bearded girl on the eyes of the two flashed, dead and alive have to sell two back, the next day the wine woke up to see that the money was spent, one by one lined up at the city gate while crying and slapping their mouths, deserved to ......"

Li Su said with interest: "What about the merchants? How do businessmen spend money in our Xizhou city? ”

Qian Fuzi scratched his head and said: "The official can ask the villain, ordinary businessmen don't dare to enter our Xizhou, usually they are passing by to replenish food and water and go on the road immediately, occasionally a few businessmen who are good friends with the officials of the Assassin's Mansion live in the city temporarily, and I don't see them spending anything......

Saying that, Master Qian said with a wry smile: "The city is clear, there are only more than ten wells in total, some shops selling forage, bran, coarse cloth clothes, and a few simple and dilapidated wine shops, and the merchants have nowhere to spend their money." ”

"A brothel in a green house, a troupe juggler...... None of these? ”

Qian Fuzi shook his head: "The people in the city are poor, and the merchants dare not enter for fear of being exploited by the government. ”

Li Su asked reluctantly: "What about the gambling stalls?" ”

Qian Fuzi was stunned: "What is a gambling stall?" ”

"The gambling stall is a place dedicated to gambling money, do you don't gamble when you are idle on weekdays?"

"Gambling, I've never heard of a place dedicated to gambling money, I'm afraid there isn't even Chang'an, right? The powerful have a lot of pastimes, cockfighting, polo, juju, a hundred plays, playing chess, etc., the poor people also play a Tibetan hook and a pu (a kind of chess gambling game), the pu or can bring a little color, not much, the person who won barely played half a catty of bad wine to drink, nothing else. ”

Li Su smiled happily: "Since there is a shortage of these things in Xizhou City, you can do it......"

Qian Fuzi pointed to his nose in astonishment: "I'll do it?" ”

"Well, you do it." Li Su's tone gradually became resolute, full of unquestionable meaning: "Open a gambling stall, open a brothel in Qinglou, open a hundred theaters, open a chess theater, and open a cockfighting hall, in short, I want to make Xizhou City lively." ”

Qian Fuzi looked at Li Su blankly, with a blank expression.

"Come back to your senses!" Li Su slapped him violently, and said angrily: "The porcelain is like Erleng, can you do something?" I can't do it, say it early, I'll find someone else. ”

Qian Fuzi was excited: "It can be done!" What do you say about villains, but ...... There are these museums and courtyards in the city, who will have a pastime? ”

"Of course businessmen, rich businessmen."

"There are no merchants in the city......"

Li Su said lightly: "There will be merchants in the city soon, and there will be more and more, to keep the merchants in Xizhou, in addition to having enough interests to attract them, there must also be a pastime for them to spend money happily." In the future, Xizhou will not only be a transit station for products in the desert border, but also a gold cave, green building, gambling stall, stage, cockfighting and so on that attract countless businessmen. Large sums of money flowed like flowing water in Xizhou City, and before you knew it, a deserted city would prosper. ”

Li Su said a lot, but Master Qian didn't seem to understand, scratched his head vigorously and said, "What do you want the villain to do?" ”

"First of all, we must enclose land and build houses in the city."

Master Qian said with a bitter face: "But...... What about money? ”

"You know how many merchants came to the city yesterday, right? Go to them and say I mean it. Money, let them advance first, it's an advance for spirits, you tell them, they'll understand. ”

Qian Fuzi thought about it, and finally understood what Li Su meant, and couldn't help but get excited: "You mean, the villain will help you open these gambling stalls in Xizhou from now on." A brothel, a theater or something? The villain will be a man in the future, right? ”

Li Su nodded and smiled: "Not bad." In the future, these transactions in the city will be handled by you, but the Venerable Master can't talk about it for the time being, at best, he is a businessman, Master Qian, and the ugly words are in front, I chose you to do this. It's because you're a local, barely a person like a city fox and a rat, with a lively heart, fast hands and feet, and a way to know what people don't know. No one will do anything, and these future transactions in the city do not belong to the government, but to me, so don't play with me, and don't ruin my reputation, if I hear that you are bullying and oppressing the good by me, hehe......"

Li Su didn't speak, only smiled at him, showing two rows of shiny white teeth.

Qian Fuzi shuddered suddenly, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He is also an old oilman who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he will not change his face when he is frightened, but Li Su is different, the smell of blood in the open space of the city market has not dissipated yet, and the mysterious young official in front of him said that killing people can really kill.

"The villain must be responsible for serving the official!"

After hitting a stick, Li Su quickly threw out a sweet jujube, and said with a smile: "You do things for me, as long as you are honest, I will not treat you badly, in the future, there will be more and more trading shops in the city, and there will be more and more merchants, and the day when you will get rich is just around the corner, in the future, everyone will call you a money shopkeeper, which is much taller than you killing pigs and slaughtering sheep, if I am transferred back to Chang'an by His Majesty in the future, you can also follow me back and make a name for yourself in Chang'an City, as long as you are loyal and do your best, In the future, maybe I will still promote you to be a small official patrolling the city or something in front of Your Majesty, and you can be regarded as eating the emperor's food, so that you can teach your wife and children to follow suit, what do you say? ”

"Villain, villain...... I am willing to die for the official! Master Qian was so excited that he swayed.

The former sentence "efficacy" and the latter sentence "efficacy" have changed one word, but the meaning is very different.

****************************************************************

What if you don't have money? Only empty gloves white wolf.

What Li Su is doing now is a white wolf with empty gloves, not paying a penny, but doing big things.

Although he has lived two lifetimes, he has never done such a big thing as planning a city, and he looked at the map for several days before making a short-term and long-term plan for Xizhou.

The most urgent thing in the near future is to train and recruit soldiers, attract investment to make money, repair the city wall, and the long-term plan is to gradually lay the foundation for selling the gold cave, and there should be entertainment in the city, so that the merchants do not want to go again when they enter the city, it is best to spend all the money, and then spend it after going back to make money, there are more merchants, and the goods are naturally more, and the circulation of money and goods is also fast, and the products from the Central Plains to the Western Regions are gathered in Xizhou, and then sent from Xizhou to all directions.

This is Li Su's vision for Xizhou, he wants to turn Xizhou into a desert pearl with a high degree of entertainment and commerce, and become a transit point connecting the products of the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

In the previous life, there was a country called the United States, and there was a city in that country, which was also built on the desert, and later became a world-famous entertainment capital, and that city was called Las Vegas.

Li Su also wants to build a Tang version of Las Vegas, of course, it is impossible to really reach that level of prosperity, but with one-tenth of its prosperity, this pearl in the desert will be famous all over the world.

…………

…………

There is only one dilapidated pavilion in the city of Xizhou, the pavilion is very small, covering an area of about two acres, and stepping into the crumbling gate is two rows of low rammed earth houses, on the living conditions. It's very simple.

Six merchants, including Nayan, lived in the inn, and after leaving the camp outside the city, the five were led by Nayan to settle down in the inn.

Fortunately, the merchants traveled from south to north and endured countless hardships, and sometimes they led the caravan to miss the lodging, so they simply set up tents in the wilderness. It's also a night to make. Therefore, everyone is not picky about the shabby and dilapidated appearance of Xizhou Guanyi, they go out to make money, not to enjoy themselves.

After a simple dinner, several businessmen naturally got together to talk about the world and communicate with each other, the six of them were not familiar with each other, but when they chatted without a cold scene, everyone was enthusiastic. Full of sincerity, this is also the basic quality of a businessman, no matter who you interact with, you must always establish the deepest friendship with him in the shortest possible time.

The businessmen of this era are still very simple, they are very practical in doing business, and they are truly honest-based, except for the key secret recipes, they basically do not hide their private affairs. What to say.

After the businessmen got together, they began to talk about their experience of going south and north to do business, which was strange. Happy, angry, maybe a few glamorous encounters that brought up the eyebrows, in short, the atmosphere of the party and chat was very lively.

Na Yan kept smiling and didn't talk much. Just quietly listening to the gossip of the crowd.

Finally, talking about this trip to Xizhou, Gong Hu, a businessman in Guanzhong, was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at Nayan.

"Brother Yantai, the foolish brother knows that you are from Qiuzi, but you have been back and forth in the Western Regions for many years. The Qiuzi caravan inside and outside Yumen Pass, we have all heard that today's brewing workshop in Xizhou is also about sending troops to protect the caravan...... Is it reliable? Everyone is in the same vein as a businessman, and I hope that my brother will not hesitate to give advice. ”

After saying that, the other four people also looked at him at the same time.

The suspicion of businessmen is actually not light, before an investment is smashed, the first thing to consider is the risk, the risk is greater than expected, no matter how big the interests are, they dare not interfere, and the city of Xizhou is not familiar to them, they also want to know how big the risk is after smashing the money this time.

Five pairs of eyes were focused on themselves at the same time, but Na Yan was still unhurried and calm.

"Since you are a businessman in the same vein, you should know the disadvantages of constantly making decisions, and you have the vision and decision to do business, but you are not reliable, what is the use of asking me as an outsider?"

The five of them smiled together, and what they said was right, but ...... Everyone is actually not sure, after all, how fragrant and delicious the cake in Xizhou is, it was only painted by Li Su alone, and they haven't seen the real cake yet.

Only Na Yan has lived in Xizhou City for the longest time, so everyone will think of asking him.

Who knew that Nayan was also an old fox, and he replied a few nonsense words without saltiness, and there was no dry goods in the words, and the people became more and more unsteady.

The warm atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and the five of them had a kind of self-deprecating and boring stupidity, and then they were silent.

It didn't take long for one of the five people, Hu Shang's face suddenly changed, although everyone was silent, they were all paying attention to the expressions of others, Hu Shang's face was wrong, and he was immediately discovered by everyone.

"Brother Guza, what's the change?" Gong Hu was the first to ask.

This Hu Shang named Guzha was still more kind, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Today, Li Bei drove us out of the camp, and I was at the end at that time, and I vaguely listened to a few words of discussion from the cavalry battalion soldiers on duty at the gate......

The crowd straightened up and said, "What are they talking about?" ”

Gu Zha rubbed his nose, spoke in a half-baked Guanzhong dialect, and said slowly: "I don't know if I heard it wrong, one of them said that Li Beijia has been training soldiers too diligently recently, and he used to practice once every three days, but now he has changed to two exercises a day, which seems to be a little complaining, and another person who looks like a fire reprimanded him loudly, saying that you know everything, we are about to engage the enemy, and if you don't practice diligently before the battle, you deserve to die on the battlefield......"

Guzha slowly looked around at everyone and said: "At that time, I walked very fast, and I only heard these two sentences vaguely, I may not be able to speak Guanzhong dialect well, but I can still understand it, I didn't take these two sentences too seriously, but ...... After all, the money we want to invest in Xizhou is not a decimal, and it is inevitable that we will not be sure, and then ...... It occurred to me that I remembered. ”

Everyone's faces suddenly changed, and everyone was gloomy and silent.

For businessmen, nothing is more feared than war.

War is nothing more than two outcomes, from the change of dynasty to the change of city, and it is not only the common people who are unlucky, but also the merchants.

A game, everyone played well, suddenly this game changed the dealer, changed someone to preside over the game, since the change of people, then the rules of the game that were set before will naturally change, these changes are in the hands of the new owner, what was previously owned, the new owner said it is not yours, then it is no longer yours.

Except for a few merchants who were quick and well-eyed, who were able to make huge profits in troubled times, ordinary merchants were always very war-tortuous, and war meant destruction, destroying cities, but also destroying their shops, their possessions, their stockpilings, and everything.

If Xizhou is about to face a war, or even the city is broken and changes hands, is the huge amount of money they have invested in Xizhou City still theirs?

At this moment, the merchants were in a state of hesitation.
