Chapter 56: Liu Bei's Careful Thoughts
Originally thought that after the wall was built, it would be easy for a few days, and the remaining functional buildings, if the materials were sufficient, only ten people would be needed, but now the coins in the village have almost run out, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will not take long to be poor Jingle Ring, Liu Yi is ready to continue to build while waiting for business.
It's just that reality doesn't seem to want him to be idle, and the day after the wall was built, Mi Zhu came again, this time not only bringing a large amount of materials, but also a lot of money.
"Three hundred ring-headed knives, two thousand spears, five hundred strong bows, thirty thousand arrows, and a thousand shields?" In the huge room, looking at the order sent by Mi Zhu, Rao is Liu Yi couldn't help but gasp, looked up at Mi Zhu and said, "This is not something that can be completed in a short period of time." ”
When did Liu Bei become so wealthy? There are so many things, Liu Yi will not accept them without two million dollars, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly.
"Brother Boyuan, don't worry." Mi Zhu had already learned Liu Yi's words from Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile at the moment: "As long as it can be delivered within two months, the money needed will definitely be given with both hands. ”
In fact, these things are not only Liu Bei's, Liu Bei knew that he couldn't eat them, so he contacted the quartermaster who was familiar with Jingzhou, Liu Bei took the lead, the quartermaster paid the money and materials, and Liu Bei would extract some of the customized things, of course, not too much, the big head was still in Jingzhou.
With this batch of sophisticated materials, and the price is cheap, Jingzhou will definitely increase the purchasing power, when Liu Bei from the middle of the Zhou Xuan, not a penny, can quickly equip their soldiers with the equipment made by the heavenly workshop, the money saved, you can do some other things, such as continue to recruit strong men, or repair the city, Liu Bei has the support of the Mi family, the Kou family, these wealthy businessmen, not a poor egg, but the Mi family's property has been lost as early as after Liu Bei defeated Xuzhou, the Kou family can only be regarded as a small family, in this Jingzhou boundary, It's not that rich, and he took out two million to buy military funds at once, at least Liu Bei can't do it now.
Liu Yi naturally didn't know the ins and outs of this matter, and after being surprised by Liu Bei's wealth, he quickly calculated in his mind how much he could make from this transaction.
If the materials are all supplied by Liu Bei, then he only needs to pay the wages of hired students, saying that it is two months, but if there are a hundred people to do it, it will be almost completed in one month, that is, it will take 300,000 yuan, and the remaining 1.7 million yuan will be a net profit.
"Okay, as long as the supplies are complete, in two months, please ask Brother Zizhong to pick up the goods." Liu Yi said with a smile, he was not afraid that Liu Bei would be greedy for his money, and this was not a one-shot deal.
"Okay, then Zhu will come back in two months." Mi Zhu smiled, after all, it will take two months this time, and Liu Bei is actively preparing for the war, so it is impossible for him to stay here with Liu Yi for two months.
"Where, I'll send Brother Zizhong." Liu Yi laughed, and when he saw that Mi Zhu was leaving, he also stood up, this is his own God of Wealth, and he can't be lazy.
"Bo Yuan doesn't have to send it." Came to the gate of the water village and boarded the boat, Mi Zhu smiled at Liu Yi.
"Brother Zizhong, go slowly!" Liu Yi watched Mi Zhu leave and asked people to send the million money back.
"Liu Bei has set a lot this time?" Lu Lingqi appeared after Mi Zhu left, and said with some surprise when she saw the boxes of coins being sent in.
"Well, it's a lot, this time it's big business, with this money, we can not only build the walled city, but also build a batch of weapons for our soldiers." Liu Yi looked at the boxes full of coins and said with a smile.
The weapons of this group of bandits should also be updated, the weapons of the bandits, Liu Yi is ready to design it himself, the shield should be the kind of Roman infantry shield, which can cover the whole body, the weapon ring knife is good, the bow and arrow should also be made of the best materials, and then the armor, Liu Yi is ready to use the bamboo armor to make the armor of the bandits, the defense itself is good, and with the corresponding attributes, these three hundred bandits are enough to become the backbone of the protection of the city.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if functional buildings such as school yards and barracks could provide some attribute bonuses.
As for Lu Lingqi and Wei Yue's weapons, Liu Yi is ready to build them himself, but not now, with this batch of orders, it is enough to make his casting skills also reach the realm of level four, and then tailor-made for Lu Lingqi and Wei Yue, at least the safety is guaranteed.
In fact, Lu Lingqi went to the battlefield, Liu Yi refused in his heart, thinking about the mask that was leaning down the city but fighting with a group of men on the battlefield, a little discordant, but he had no position to interfere with others, or he had the opportunity to persuade slowly in the future, a woman in her twenties, it is not good to always fight and kill, although this woman's martial arts are indeed terrifying, at least among the generals Liu Yi has seen the strength.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't be counted, they haven't seen them make a move at all, as for Cao Ren...... I can't help but laugh when I think about it.
"Sir, let's build the school field and the barracks first, three hundred children, now I almost forget that I am still a soldier!" Lu Lingqi glanced at Liu Yi, obviously very opinionated about Liu Yi's many times when he temporarily grabbed strong men and took his subordinates to either work or dig canals or carry materials, as for his own work, he had not trained for a long time.
"Cough~" Liu Yi nodded: "Isn't this a lack of people in the village?" Tomorrow we will start building the school yard and the barracks, and now that the walls have been built, there is no need for them to work, I will replace the craftsmen in the camp. ”
"I wonder what Mr. is going to do next?" Lu Lingqi didn't dwell on this issue, but asked: "Liu Bei is just a city in Xinye, but he can take out so much money and things, isn't it strange that sir?" ”
Liu Yi nodded, he didn't think so much at first, but now after sending away Mi Zhu, Liu Yi feels that the troops are gone, and the money is enough, Liu Bei has been in the army for so many years, and there is nothing strange about some family backgrounds, but this iron ingot is not something that can be obtained with money, and this time it will bring tens of thousands of catties at once, think about it carefully, it is estimated that Liu Bei wants to be a middleman to earn the difference, and at the same time, he also concealed the affairs of Tiangongfang, and did not let Tiangongfang become famous in Jingzhou as he expected.
This is not Liu Yi's appeal, what he wants is to be able to knock on the door of Jingzhou with this, Liu Bei's approach is contrary to Liu Yi's hope.
"It's not good to offend Liu Bei now." Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "It's best to open up the trade routes in Jiangdong, so that the people of Jiangdong can see the power of our weapons and armor." ”
At this time, I can't talk about the relationship with Zhuge Liang, everyone is their own master, and we can only talk about interests at this time.
"How do I open it?" Lu Lingqi said curiously.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Liu Yi shook his head, he had just figured out this problem, there were no acquaintances in Jiangdong, and this way was not easy to open.
Lu Lingqi: "......"
