Chapter 48: Set the rules today
"Damn, so many?!" Lu Bu was taken aback by this number.
He originally thought that Xiao He was so reluctant to pay, it must be that he didn't have much inventory, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.
"My old father-in-law is too stingy. A few days ago, I asked him for two million copper coins, as if I was going to cut his flesh, and I felt distressed for a long time before giving it to me. β
Chen Gong secretly laughed and said, "Don't be angry, Lord Xiao also wants to save money." β
Lu Bu sat down and said, "The amount of savings also depends on the savings." I didn't open a brothel for fun, but to form a powerful intelligence network, to understand every move of the princes, and even the thoughts of the officials, so that I could know myself and my opponent, and I would not be defeated in a hundred battles. β
At this time, Pan Jinlian walked in.
Lu Bu asked, "Jin Lian, how much is left of the two million that you were given before?" β
"There are 400,000 left."
"What? Only 400,000 left? Lu Bu's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Pan Jinlian said: "I bought this Spring Pavilion and spent 1.3 million yuan. And a whole bunch of new furniture, dΓ©cor, etc... So, there are only 400,000 dollars left. β
"Are prices so high in this period?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong.
"My lord, what Miss Jin Lian said, there is basically no problem. Ordinary houses are worth 3,000 to 5,000 yuan, ordinary courtyards are worth 30,000 yuan, better mansions are 150,000 yuan, and if it is a two-story attic like Yingchun Pavilion, it will cost at least one million yuan. β
Lu Bu came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that for two million dollars, I only bought one house." That's too expensive, isn't it? β
"If that's how it goes, it will cost me at least 20 million dollars to open 10 brothels. With such a large expense, my old father-in-law has to die of distress directly? β
Chen Gong said: "The lord has always been eclectic in doing things, so why should he care about Xiao He's thoughts? As long as you give an order, who dares not to open the door of the warehouse? β
"You can't say that. When I appointed Xiao He as the chief bookkeeper of Xuzhou and handed over the treasury to him, I said that even if I stretched out my hand to him, I couldn't easily open the treasury. In order to save money. If I go back on my word and forcibly obtain it, won't I be slapping myself in the mouth? β
"What does the lord mean...?"
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with a smile.
Chen Gong felt that something was wrong.
Lu Bu said: "Before I asked him for 2 million yuan, he hesitated, if I asked him to get 20 million again, he would definitely not agree." Therefore, I have to ask Mr. for this matter, and I believe that Mr. will have a way. β
Chen Gong had a black line at one end, and said in his heart: "I know that there will be nothing good." β
"If you want to find Xiao He to get money, it's actually very easy."
"Is it easy?"
"yes."
Chen Gong smiled evilly and said, "But my methods may be a little rough, the lord won't mind, right?" β
"I don't mind, as long as I can get the money."
Lu Bu stood up, looked outside the attic, turned around and said, "Please ask Mr. to take the money, I still have something to do when I go back to the barracks, so I'll go first." If you are interested, you can stay. I just looked, and there are still a few beautiful ones in the Spring Pavilion. β
"No, no, no, I'll go with my lord."
Chen Gong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly followed Lu Bu.
Pan Jinlian covered her mouth and smiled.
At this time, the hall of the Yingchun Pavilion was already overcrowded. The singers danced and sang on the stage, and the sons and brothers in the audience threw copper coins or valuables directly on the stage.
If you like a beautiful girl, you can ask the steward to find a girl to have a drink. Of course, this consumption is very large, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to afford it.
For these, Lu Bu had no interest in paying attention, and after he left the Yingchun Pavilion, he went directly to the barracks.
The current Xuzhou Army has begun to take shape. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Luo CD each had their own armies, totaling no less than 50,000 men. There may be weak brigades among them, but after continuous training, the combat effectiveness has improved.
"My lord." Lu Zhong hurried forward.
"Have you found Yuanba?"
"Eh... Not yet. β
Lu Budao: "Keep looking, you must find it!" β
"No. The lord can rest assured that as long as the prince of Yuanba enters the range of Xiapi County, the people of the last general will find out immediately. "The implication is that if Li Yuanba didn't go to Xiapi County, then you can't blame me.
"System MMP, can't you remind me, where is Li Yuanba?" Lu Bu entered the tent and shouted in his heart.
However, the system was silent as if it were dead.
"Big brother, isn't it too risky for you to let Fan Lihua garrison in Donghai County? Let me lead my army to help. Hearing that Lu Bu had arrived at the barracks, Luo Cheng immediately rushed over.
"Second brother, don't worry, Fan Lihua is enough to defend the East China Sea."
"But I'm still worried, so let me go..."
Lu Bu's gaze swept over Luo Cheng, and said with a chuckle: "Second brother, I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, and he is worried about the war horse in Fan Lihua's hand, right?" β
"Eh... It's not all .... β
"And say it's not?!"
Lu Budao: "What are you anxious about, those war horses will be brought back sooner or later, let her share some of you then, isn't it okay?" Now she has to face Yuan Shu's army alone, and the pressure is very high, if there is no war horse, it will be difficult to win. β
"Yes." Luo Cheng also knew that he was at a loss and kept silent.
But Lu Bu didn't expect that Luo Cheng was not the only one who wanted a war horse, but also Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who also followed closely and offered to go to Donghai County to help in the war.
Lu Bu said angrily: "What's wrong with all of you? Isn't there just 20,000 war horses, what is there to fight for? β
"Those 20,000 war horses were obtained by Fan Lihua after defeating Ji Ling, if you really have the ability, go to the battlefield to grab it, grab it, as long as you can grab it, it will be yours."
Gao Shun said weakly: "Lord, defeating Ji Ling seems to be your credit, right?" β
Zhang Liao and Luo looked at Lu Bu with blank eyes. The implication is very clear, if it was captured by Fan Lihua, they had nothing to say, but if it was captured by Lu Bu, then it should be divided equally, why did they all give it to Fan Lihua.
"I have already told Luo Cheng just now, when Fan Lihua comes back from Donghai County, I will give you the war horses. But now the war is critical, and everything will be discussed after defeating Yuan Shu. β
Speaking of this, Lu Bu had an idea and said, "Also, I set a rule today. In the future, everything captured on the battlefield, whether it be weapons, chariots, or horses, will not need to be handed over, but will be all their own. But if someone else seizes it, don't be blushing, let alone be cheeky and come to me to cry poor. β
"No." Everyone was smiling.
Lu Bu's decision was unanimously adopted.
For them, the decision was too timely. With weapons, chariots and horses, you can strengthen your strength, and when you really engage the enemy, you can not fall behind.
The strength of the armed forces is also directly related to the success or failure of the war and to their honor and disgrace.
Take the battle of Donghai County as an example, if their strength is equal to Fan Lihua, then it is not necessarily Fan Lihua who fights with Ji Lingjun. This great credit will not be enjoyed exclusively by Fan Lihua.
