After seeing Zhao Yun, Lu Bu's heart was a lot more stable.

When Zhao Yuncai arrived in the study, he saw that the white-robed general had a strong resistance to handing over the power of the air force.

When he mentioned that the Air Force glider would no longer carry out the mission of lurking and raiding in the future, Zhao Yun's attitude changed instantly.

Covered with courage and martial arts, Zhao Yun certainly didn't want to spend his life in the Air Force that had no chance to go to the battlefield at all.

Training cavalry and having the opportunity to train them into heavy cavalry with armor along with war horses, Zhao Yun should be most interested in such a position.

persuaded Zhao Yun that Lu Bu had a little more confidence in the transfer of the air force commander.

The next morning, as he was about to go out, he went to some blacksmiths to ask about the armor for horses.

Only then did he go out of the room to greet Sun Ce, and was about to leave the official mansion, when a guard greeted him: "Qi Chu Hou, Zhang Shiping is waiting in the outer courtyard, saying that Chu Hou confessed yesterday and asked him to come here today to ask for a meeting." ”

Lu Bu glanced at Sun Ce and said with a smile: "Zhang Shiping is an impatient, I did say yesterday that I wanted him to come over today, but I didn't say that I wanted him to come early in the morning, but I didn't expect him to come earlier than me." ”

"Chu Hou has a lot of affairs every day, if he comes late, he may wait for when." Sun Ce replied: "Zhang Shiping is a businessman, and he has a lot of things, of course he doesn't want to wait all day. But once Chu Hou went out, he had no choice but to wait. I didn't think it was strange to be here so early. ”

"Bo Fu went and invited him to the study." Lu Bu instructed: "I'll wait for him in the study." ”

"Respectfully obey the Marquis of Chu." Sun Ce bowed.

Sun Ce went to foreign aid to invite Zhang Shiping, and Lu Bu went directly to the study.

After coming to the study for a while, Zhang Shiping came to Lu Bu under the guidance of Sun Ce.

Bowing down to greet Lu Bu, Zhang Shiping said, "I've seen Chu Hou." ”

"You came early, I was about to go out, and you blocked me." Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to him, "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk about it." ”

Zhang Shiping thanked and sat down next to him.

After sitting down, he said to Lu Bu: "It was the Marquis of Chu who asked me to come over today, saying that the restaurant would give me some instructions." ”

"You mean the restaurant." Lu Bu said: "I have two patterns here, you first go to the blacksmith and bricklayer to make them, and then try to use them according to the usage method marked on the drawings to see if they are good or not." ”

He took out a picture from his arms, Sun Ce stepped forward to take it with both hands, and handed it to Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping took the picture and unfolded it to look at it.

There was something he had never seen before.

However, next to the drawing, the name and usage are marked.

The round one with a long handle is called the pot, which can be used for frying and frying, and the other square table, Lu Bu named the stove.

The materials required for the pot and stove were also clearly marked by Lu Bu.

"What happens when you make these two things?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"The next step is to think about the dishes." Lu Bu said: "It's too early to discuss these things, when you have finished preparing the restaurant, I will discuss with you how to make the dishes." ”

"I see." Lu Bu didn't plan to tell him how to cook the dishes now, and Zhang Shiping didn't dare to ask more, so he asked him again: "I don't know when Chu Hou can let me operate coal tickets?" ”

"Everything is waiting for the restaurant to be built." Lu Bu said: "If you build a restaurant, of course I will tell you how to run it." ”

got up early in the morning and came to Lu Bu's residence, but only got a method of making a pot stove, Zhang Shiping was not very satisfied with the results of this trip.

But Lu Bu refused to say more, and as a businessman, he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to put away the picture and ask Lu Bu: "Dare to ask Chu Hou, what do I have to do next?" ”

"Do you want to be the richest man in the world?" A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, and he suddenly asked Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping was originally a businessman, and the businessman only wanted to make money, but unlike some small businessmen, he only valued immediate interests, and knew what kind of money should be obtained and what kind of money should not be obtained, so he became popular here in Lu Bu.

Speaking of whether he was willing to become the richest person, Zhang Shiping was stunned for a moment, and then said to Lu Bu: "But how many people who are in business do not want to become the richest man in the world?" ”

"As long as you want to be the richest man, things will be easy." Lu Bu said: "Let's run the first restaurant first, and when it is done well in the future, restaurants will bloom everywhere, just sitting at home, and the income every day will be more than if you run around." ”

"I understand what Chu Hou said." Zhang Shiping bowed down and responded: "But I only run a restaurant, I really can't think of how to become the richest man in the world......

"It's just a restaurant, but it's already possible." Lu Bu said to Zhang Shiping: "But the business is too monotonous, even if you are the richest man, it is not stable." I have a lot of things for you to do in the future, especially the farm factory. When that happens, you'll no longer be looking at coal. ”

"Farms, factories?" Zhang Shiping swallowed his saliva, although he had not heard of this, he could also imagine that it must be an extremely profitable place.

He didn't have much idea of the factory, but the farm could understand that it was going to take a lot of land.

Since Lu Bu wants to make him the richest man in the world, of course, the land allocated cannot be too little.

Perhaps, at that time, most of the land under heaven will have to be sold by his hands to the grain and mulberry hemp.

"How?" Zhang Shiping looked stunned, and before he woke up from the blueprint drawn by Lu Bu, Lu Bu asked him: "With these, can you become the richest man in the world?" ”

"Yes! Absolutely! Zhang Shiping hurriedly replied: "It's just that I don't know why Chu Hou wants to support me, not others..."

"The reason is simple." Lu Bu said: "You know how to balance interests, and I came to Xuzhou when I was most in danger and needed money, just these two items, I have no reason to support others." From the day you came to Xuzhou to sell toothpaste for me, you have been tied to me. Although I can give you endless wealth, I will also earn the benefits of conquering the world through you. But I also have something to tell you clearly, in the eyes of many people, you Zhang Shiping has been branded as Xuzhou. No matter where you go, when others see you, the first thing that comes to mind is that Xuzhou is me! ”

What Lu Bu said was not sensational.

Zhang Shiping has long found that this situation is emerging, so he has not been going out too often in person these days to make a living, and most of the time he has to hand over things to his subordinates, and he controls them and makes some decisive decisions.

"To tell you the truth, have you ever thought about breaking away from Xuzhou?" Lu Bu suddenly asked Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping replied: "Back to Chuhou, Xuzhou is the foundation for me to earn benefits, how can I get out of here?" ”

"You should know that that's not what I asked." Lu Bu said: "Tied to me, once Xuzhou is destroyed one day, the wealth you earn will become the moon in the mirror, and the glitz and wealth will become a cloud with my failure." ”

"Chu Hou Wenzhi's martial arts are invincible in the world." Zhang Shiping replied: "Although there are many heroes in the world, I feel that I should gamble. ”

"It's like you bet on Liu Xuande at the beginning?" Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Shiping: "I know that you funded Liu Xuande in your early years, so he was able to grow so fast later......"

"Back to Chu Hou, I did fund Liu Bei in my early years, but I didn't expect him to achieve nothing, so he just ran away." Zhang Shiping said: "Now that I think about it, all that money has been wasted. ”

"You also know that Liu Xuande has a grudge against me, and I have to kill him." Lu Bu said to Zhang Shiping: "From now on, don't have too much contact with him." ”

"What Chu Hou explained, I must remember it in my heart." Zhang Shiping hurriedly got up and responded.

"Actually, if you don't come to me, I'm going to look for you." Lu Bu said to Zhang Shiping: "In the early years, you sold horses for a living, I want to ask you, how many war horses can you transfer from the north?" How long does it take to mobilize horses? ”

"Chuhou Mingjian." Zhang Shiping replied: "Back then, when I sold horses, most of the horses transferred from the north to the Central Plains were actually horses. Whether it is the Huns, the Qiang, the Qian, the Di, or the Wuhuan and Xianbei, although they have many good horses in their hands, they will never sell them to us. Even if some were sold to us, they were all sky-high. The northern horses ridden by the soldiers in the Central Plains in recent years, if they arrived outside the customs, they were just inferior horses that could not be handled. If I send someone to buy it, I can buy 30,000 or 20,000 horses, and I am afraid that Chu Hou will not be able to look down on it at that time. ”

"You have said that in the Central Plains for so many years, the soldiers have ridden inferior horses." Lu Bu said: "Of course, the same war horses I have seen. I haven't seen good things, and ordinary goods are already amazing in my eyes. Don't care about the quality of the horses, and buy me 30,000 war horses. ”

"Thirty thousand?" Zhang Shiping was stunned and said: "Even if it's just a horse, the price of so many war horses is a lot of money......

"Of course I know it's expensive." Lu Bu smiled and said to Zhang Shiping: "As a businessman, I don't believe that you don't know how to lower prices. Also, I have given you so many opportunities to make money, is it possible that you still want to earn my benefit on the price of the horse? ”

"Chu Hou doesn't know." Zhang Shiping replied: "I won't talk about the price of the horses themselves, but only say that they are transported back from outside the customs. War horses need to be tended and fed with forage and soybeans every day. If only forage is given and not soybeans or black beans, the war horse will not grow fat, and it will be difficult to run on the battlefield. ”

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Lu Bu leaned forward slightly, his eyes staring at Zhang Shiping without blinking.

He was uncomfortable, Zhang Shiping said: "I just told Chu Hou that it is not easy to buy a war horse, since Chu Hou wants to buy it, of course I can't earn any benefits." When Chu Hou arrived, he only paid the price of the war horse itself, and as for the manpower, forage, soybeans, etc., which were spent transporting it back, I would bear it alone. ”

"I knew you were the sweetest." Zhang Shiping promised to bear all the manpower and war horse feed, Lu Bu smiled, sat up straight and said to him: "Actually, you should also understand that when I buy war horses, it is impossible to buy them often." In addition to buying back war horses, I would like to ask you, can you buy some good horse breeds from the north and breed them in the Central Plains? ”

"Chu Hou's plan has actually been made a long time ago." Zhang Shiping replied: "But there is a sentence I don't know if Chu Hou has heard it. ”

"You say." Lu Bu motioned for him to continue.

Zhang Shiping said: "Tangerine is orange in Huainan, and orange is orange in Huaibei. Even if we buy good horse breeds and breed them in the Central Plains. However, after three or two generations, the horse breed will degenerate and become a general colt. Therefore, for so many years, the Central Plains Imperial Court would rather buy back the horses from the north than breed horses in the Central Plains. ”

Lu Bu pinched his chin and nodded, and said to Zhang Shiping: "What you said makes some sense. When I calm the world in the future, I will definitely open up a pasture in the north. I'll leave it to you, and I'll take care of the horses for me. ”

In front of Zhang Shiping, Lu Bu's blueprint is getting bigger and bigger.

If you want to change to someone else, you may feel that he is a little unrealistic, but as a businessman, what Zhang Shiping hopes most is to meet a hero like Lu Bu.

Only ambition can prompt Haoxiong to conquer the world.

As a businessman who invested in Haoxiong, of course he didn't want Lu Bu to just flee all the way like Liu Bei, spending a lot of money and food, but he couldn't see any prospect of investment at all.

Zhang Shiping's refusal to devote himself to Liu Bei again was also for this reason.

"How long will it take for the horses to be returned?" Lu Bu asked again.

Zhang Shiping thought for a while and said to Lu Bu: "Back to Chuhou, I calculated the distance and the time it would take to procure, as short as half a year, as long as eight or nine months, and I should be able to send all the war horses to Pengcheng." ”

Although he was in a hurry to use horses, Lu Bu also knew that this matter was not in a hurry.

He said to Zhang Shiping: "I'll give you half a year, and after half a year, I will see 30,000 war horses come to Xuzhou." ”

"Chu Hou rest assured." Zhang Shiping arched his hand and said: "I will urge the people who are doing the work to raise it as soon as possible." ”

"One more thing that's important." Lu Bu then said to Zhang Shiping: "Although I know that it is a horse, I don't want those who are old and disabled. All horses must be strong, they can be not a day, but they must not be too poor. You must know that it is often the war horses they ride that determine the life and death of the cavalry on the battlefield. ”

"I understand what Chu Hou means." Zhang Shiping replied: "I will arrange a few reliable people to go over for this matter, and I will definitely do my best to select the most suitable horse for Chu Hou." ”

"I sincerely want you to make money, don't cheat me." Leaning forward slightly, Lu Bu said to Zhang Shiping: "It takes a long time to build trust, but to destroy it, one thing can be done. ”
