Chapter 370: Rich Liu Hong
Li Zhen's expression was slightly stagnant when he heard this, and he didn't wait for Wu Shen to lead the way, so he ran towards the guest hall by himself.
Zheng Zhen's sudden arrival made Li Zhen suddenly panic.
Among these cronies who are not many of Li Zhen, if it comes to force, Li Zhen can easily find many with his eyes closed.
But in terms of resourcefulness, Zheng Congyan is the only one, and even Zheng Congyan and others are inferior.
Li Zhen's real purpose in keeping Zheng Zhen in Youzhou was threefold.
First, I watched Zhang Zhifang, so as not to cause any trouble; second, to mediate between He Hongjing, Wang Yuankui and Zhang Zhongwu to maintain the not very strong friendship between the three towns; Finally, and Li Zhen thinks the most important thing is to help Liu Hong carry out the "dart game" smoothly to help him earn more capital.
And now that Zheng Zhen has entered Beijing at this time, Li Zhen can't help but worry that something is wrong in Hebei.
But when he saw the thick smile on Zheng Zhen's face, Li Zhen's hanging heart landed peacefully.
"How do you ...... in Taiwanese?"
Li Zhen was a little surprised, after all, what he had asked Wang Shaoyi to convey before meant that Gao Biao and Gu Duoda had entered Beijing.
Before Zheng Ji could answer, he only heard Gu Duoda on the side say first: "Naturally, I saved you!" ”
"Help me?" Li Zhen glanced at Zheng Zhen, only to see Zheng Zhen smiled and said: "Hebei has been stable recently, Liu Hong has Tian Wensheng over there, there is no big problem, I became an idler there, I heard Shao Yi talk about the situation here, I followed!" ”
After hearing this, Li Zhen nodded and asked, "Qianli went to Lishan?" ”
"Well, Brother Qianli took Zheng Da, Liu Sanlang, Wang Ji and Zhao Lang to Lishan first according to your instructions!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhen asked in a low voice: "How many soldiers and horses did you bring?" ”
Zheng Zhen didn't speak, but just stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of Li Zhen.
"The three thousand soldiers and horses have been brought?!"
Li Zhen was shocked, after all, this is the only army in his hands, and the capital is no better than Hebei, once these soldiers and horses are exposed, it will inevitably set off a bigger storm.
Zheng Zheng shook his head and said, "It's true that I brought three thousand, but not all, the real elite veterans only brought five hundred!" ”
Looking at Li Zhen's blank face, Gu Duoda smiled happily: "We have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in our hands now, and this is only a mere 3,000!" ”
"Nearly ten thousand?" Li Zhen couldn't believe his ears.
"Since you left, the recruitment of soldiers has gone very smoothly, and even in the end, there are some veterans who escaped from the three towns, if I hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid I would have caused a big disaster!"
Speaking of this, Zheng Jin couldn't help but lower his voice and said.
"It's not that Liu Hong's little man has a lot of money, but I'm a little moved!" Only Gu Duoda's voice is still high-pitched and powerful.
"Lots of money? Many...... How much?! Hearing this, the corners of Li Zhen's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.
"Ten times a month!" Gu Duoda said proudly.
"Ten ......" Li Zhen's complexion changed greatly.
The annual salary of the Shence army is only 50 yuan, and the annual salary of the local armies is only 30 or 40 yuan, and Liu Hong has to pay each soldier 10 yuan every month, which is 120 yuan a year, which is more than double that of the Shence army.
Based on the calculation of 40 yuan per bucket of rice in Chang'an City, it is 250 buckets of rice per month, which is enough for a family of three to eat for three years.
And this is only the salary that a soldier receives in a year.
If it is an army of nearly 10,000 people, the military salary cost in a year is ......
Li Zhen couldn't imagine how Liu Hong would pay such a huge sum of money.
Seeing that Li Zhen was speechless, Zheng Zhen couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, today's Liu Hong is not what it used to be, I really didn't see it earlier that he was a good businessman, under the recommendation of Wang Zhijun and He Zhijun, now our trading is not limited to the three towns of Hebei, and even the boundaries of more than ten surrounding states, just the monthly pure input is more than 100,000 yuan, and according to Liu Hong, within three years, the trade will be done to the entire northern provinces!" ”
Li Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Zheng Zhen and Gu Duoda in a daze, still a little incredulous.
Even Li Zhen himself never expected that this "dart game" that did not appear until nearly 900 years later would sweep away an unimaginably huge fortune in the Tang Dynasty.
And this is just the result of a whim.
What makes Li Zhen even more unimaginable is that Liu Hong, who was once deceived by himself in Jiangling Mansion and didn't know how much money, is now able to run such a complicated chain of interests, which makes Li Zhen feel a little secretly proud in his heart.
This guy who may be the most profitable guy in the world has fallen under his own little tricks countless times.
But despite this, Li Zhen still felt a little painful for Liu Hong's generosity, after all, this money is not a small amount, and it is also an expenditure that seems to have no deadline at present.
"I've already brought what you want, I wonder how you'll arrange it?"
Seeing the distress on Li Zhen's face, Zheng Zhen immediately changed the topic.
After hearing this, Li Zhen pulled himself out of his infinite chagrin, thought about it and asked, "Where is it now?" ”
Zheng Ji replied with a smile: "Naturally, it is kept by the most proficient people!" ”
"Liu Hong is here too?" Li Zhen was surprised.
"Originally, I didn't plan for him to come with me, but this fat man said that he didn't feel at ease when he handed over so much money to us, so he had to follow!"
Speaking of this, Gu Duoda was angry.
Zheng Zhen couldn't help laughing and said: "Liu Hongxian came to Chang'an one day, and the closest foothold to you here is in Xuanpingfang!" ”
"Lately?" Li Zhen was a little confused.
Zheng Zheng laughed and said: "Hahaha, before coming here, I met with Lao Gu first, in just one day, this goods actually bought seven properties at once, and hid those treasures and belongings in them, guarded by three hundred masters selected by Tian Wensheng, although it was extravagant, but the arrangement was quite thorough!" ”
"Seven...... ...... property?! After Li Zhen heard this, he had nothing to say except for bursts of backrushing qi and blood.
......
The sky was still gloomy, and for the deputy envoy of the Right Army, such a night was destined to be ordinary.
On the case in front of Pi Yuanshi, there is a box that is not very good-looking, and its texture seems to look like elm, very fresh elm.
His gaze stayed on the wooden box for a long time, but he still didn't have the courage to open it.
Despite this, he knew what was in the wooden box.
Money, a lot of money, although I don't know the exact amount.
He didn't see who sent the box, he only knew who sent it.
I know what it will mean to take this box.
Smack-
Pi Yuanshi's hand pressed on the wooden box suddenly, and his face gradually became a little hideous.
"Change your armor!"
