Zhang Shiping almost monopolized all industries in various places under Lü Bu's rule.

He's really made a lot of money lately.

At the beginning, Lu Bu gave him the condition that he could give priority to the use of resources and make his business bigger.

Zhang Shiping expanded this condition, and took advantage of Lu Bu's absence in Xuzhou to completely monopolize many industries.

There was a ghost in his heart, and he smiled very embarrassedly: "It's not the blessing of Wen Hou......"

"You are indeed a blessing to me." Lu Bu said: "What did I promise you? What did you say when you negotiated with the locality? When I really didn't know? ”

Zhang Shiping was already covered with cold sweat.

It is true that I have known Lu Bu for some days, but after all, Lu Bu is a tyrant in one side, and he is a small businessman.

Even if the merchant is rich and rivals the country, he has no country, and except for a few guards, he does not have a large army.

If Lu Bu is angered, Zhang Shiping's life will not be easy.

Knowing what he had done, Zhang Shiping felt like a mirror in his heart.

He kept his head down, not daring to say anything.

Lu Bu played with the book in his hand and asked him casually: "When you pretended to pass on my orders, monopolized most of the goods in Xuzhou, and made a lot of money, should you consider giving me some benefits?" ”

"I have handed over half of the net profit to the treasury according to the previous agreement." Zhang Shiping replied.

"That's pretty much it." Half of the net profit was handed over to the treasury, Lu Bu immediately changed his expression, and asked him with a smile: "I really have a way to make money now, but I don't know if you are willing to do it." ”

Every time Lu Bu provided a way to make money, Zhang Shiping would be a little skeptical at first, but if he really operated, he could indeed make a lot of money.

He already had a lot of trust in Lu Bu, and he asked, "Dare to ask Wen Hou, what is the way to make money?" ”

"Recently, there has been a locust plague in Xuzhou, have you heard of it?" Lu Bu asked.

Zhang Shiping was stunned and asked, "Is Wenhou going to take advantage of this opportunity to raise the price of grain?" ”

"What kind of food price is being raised?" Lu Bu said: "The more disaster the year, the more we can't raise the price of grain, otherwise there will be more hungry people, but they will make trouble with me." ”

"The locust plague is serious, and the most scarce thing is food, how can Wenhou make money if he doesn't raise the price of grain?" Zhang Shiping didn't understand it at all.

"Have you heard that the locust plague has been suppressed?" Lu Bu asked.

"I've heard that." Zhang Shiping replied: "It's just that I think it's a little strange, in the past, locust plagues always had to wait until the crops were eaten by locusts to be considered the past, and this year the locusts have only eaten a few fields of crops, and they are about to disappear." ”

"This is the way I want to give you." Lü Bu said: "The locusts disappeared only because they met the greed of man. ”

After Zhang Shiping came to Xuzhou, he has always been in the city and has not been outside the city.

When the news comes from outside the city, when it arrives in the city, it will most likely be fabricated and exaggerated.

has been in business for many years, and of course Zhang Shiping knows how to distinguish the truth of the news.

However, screening will definitely filter out some exaggerated true news.

Therefore, he did not believe that Lu Bu taught the villagers to roast locusts and eat them, which led to the early end of the locust plague.

"It won't be long before the locust plague will pass, and the locusts will spread as a delicacy." Lu Bu said: "What I want is for you to collect all the locusts, get rid of them at the root, and then send them to the tavern to make good delicacies for human consumption." ”

"Can locusts really eat?" Zhang Shiping asked stunned.

"Do you still have any doubts?" Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to him, "I just taught him how to roast locusts, and the ingredients at that time were only salty salt. I can give you a list of the best ingredients for roasting locusts, and once the roasted locusts are delivered to the tavern, you will surely make a lot of money. ”

"It turns out that the rumors are all true." Zhang Shiping licked his lips and subconsciously swallowed his saliva: "I thought it was a rumor in the market......"

"All rumors that are made out of nothing will be broken sooner or later." Lu Bu said: "Most of the rumors that can stand on their feet have real backgrounds in them. I asked you to come here so that you can take advantage of the fact that the locusts are cheap now, and quickly collect them, and don't wait until the time when the locusts are hard to find, because then it will be too late. ”

"Can I collect some first, if it is good to sell and then ......" The cost of buying locusts will not be too small, Zhang Shiping still wants to test it to see if there is a market prospect.

"What do you think?" Lu Bu did not answer directly, but asked Zhang Shiping rhetorically.

In fact, when Zhang Shiping asked this, he was also beating the drum in his heart.

If locusts could really become a delicacy, by the time he found his way, others would have been cooking it long ago.

When the time comes, if you want to make a big profit, it is completely impossible.

"Although the locust plague is nearing its end, there are still many locusts today." Lu Bu said: "Locusts can be seen everywhere in the fields, and it must be very cheap to buy them. As long as the villagers let their children go to the fields every day to catch locusts and sell them to you, they can get back copper coins. You know, although locusts are good, if you eat them every day, you will always get bored of them. The villagers don't want to eat them, so they always sell them somewhere else. ”

"Wen Hou's whimsical ideas will always bring unexpected gains to people." Zhang Shiping replied: "I also thought about it, locusts should not be too expensive, so I arranged for people to go to the countryside to collect them." ”

Zhang Shiping, who had figured it out, stood up, and said to Lu Bu: "I'll retire first, and then follow Wen Hou's instructions to do things." ”

Lu Bu nodded: "You go first." ”

After Zhang Shiping left, Lu Bu shouted out the door again: "Someone!" ”

Back in Pengcheng, Sun Ce also went to the barracks, but Lu Bu did not take him with him.

Entering the room was a guard, who stood with his fists clenched and facing Lu Bu.

Lu Bu instructed: "You go and invite Pang Shiyuan to me." ”

The guards retreated, and it didn't take long to bring Pang Tong.

Pang Tong entered the house and greeted Lu Bu.

After inviting him to sit down, Lu Bu asked, "Has Shi Yuan been eyeing the research and development of hot air balloons and gliders recently?" ”

"Since I returned to Pengcheng, I have asked people to start preparing." Pang Tong said: "Now we have only selected the site, and we have not started research and development. ”

"Gotta hurry." Lu Bu said: "I always feel that Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu will unite to crusade against me, and once that time comes, I will have to have enough air force to barely have an advantage." ”

"Wen Hou, do you want to go and see the venue?" Pang Tong asked.

"It's good!" Lu Bu stood up and said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan leads the way, I'll take a look!" ”

"Wen Hou, please!" Pang Tong stood up and asked Lu Bu to go first. ()
