Chapter 812: Economics in War

As soon as they entered the prisoner camp, they saw the neat camp and clean roads, which made this group of merchants immediately refreshed, and people's mood improved.

Looking at the businessmen who became energetic, Lu Peng smiled wickedly, this is a good sign, because when a person is in a good mood, everything is easy to discuss.

Groups of slaves were formed into a phalanx, looking at these people with a curious face, and then looking at these captives, they were full of energy, their faces were ruddy, their bodies were clean and tidy, and the drapes on their bodies fluttered in the wind, and there was a feeling of elegance.

Where is this captive slave, is this simply a bunch of gentlemen. Such a spirit is actually a few points stronger than some small landlords in the Central Plains.

Good, very good goods. This is the evaluation of all businessmen.

Returning to the outside again, Lu Peng stood on the table again, and loudly announced to a group of urgent businessmen: "The slave sales conference has officially begun, I have a total of 73,000 slaves, and I will sell them in batches according to every 100 slaves, old and young match, children are not bullied, and the disabled are not counted, and now I quote that the price of each slave is 100,000 yuan, no bargaining, no bargaining." ”

There are too many slaves, so I don't have time to do any bidding, so let's package and wholesale, and the price at which Lu Peng originally bought slaves from Qingzhou Taishou in Qingzhou was a reference, and it was bought for 10,000 yuan at that time, so he set the price at 100,000 yuan a piece, which should be the highest price.

But, in fact, Lu Peng was deceived by himself.

At the beginning, those captives in Qingzhou, the Taishou of Qingzhou was ready to kill, but at that time, Lu Peng asked his second brother to be willing to pay 10,000 yuan to buy them, which can be described as waste utilization, which is considered a windfall, and he is happy to give away personal favors.

Now the situation is different, not to mention the serious lack of labor in the Central Plains, it is the 100,000 yuan, and it is only ten yuan of money, that is, ten taels of silver, of course, the silver is not in large circulation in the market now, but you must know that a banquet of a gentry and wealthy family is millions of dollars, and it also issued a sigh of "I have no way to get it". 100,000 yuan, to be able to buy such a high-quality product, it is definitely too cheap.

So, without Lu Peng's imagination, everyone hesitated, and they had to encourage the tone and demeanor of TV shopping in later generations, and began to flicker, but a forest of arms immediately grew in front of his eyes: "I want ten directions." ”

"I want a hundred squares—"

"I want two hundred squares—"

At that time, Lu Peng regretted it, it was broken, and his asking price was low, but the words had already been spoken, he was a kind and faithful person, and it was too late to regret it.

So, after all the slaves were divided, Lu Peng was ashamed to announce: "The price of slaves is this, but what about it, I provided them with food for seven days, gave them a set of clothes, and this will be charged for everyone—" So, Lu Peng received a piece of saliva.

The officials of Youzhou are calm, because they have long been accustomed to Lu Peng's behavior of asking for money for death, thinking that at the beginning, the army captured the Wuhuan royal court, large carts and small carts, thousands of carts, and they couldn't wait to load all the horse manure in the Wuhuan royal court back to Youzhou.

But the officials and soldiers in Yizhou were not calm, because they never thought that the emotional war could still be operated in this way, and the problem of prisoners, which was the most headache for the victors in the war, could be solved in this way. You must know that Bai Qi captured Zhao Jun 400,000 at the beginning, but he couldn't let it go, couldn't afford to raise it, and finally had to bury it, leaving a reputation for it.

Huang Quan was trembling with the account book: "King Tang, a total of 70,000 prisoners were sold, and 7 billion yuan was obtained, and they were all steel coins. ”

Seven billion, but all of Yizhou's financial revenue in two or three years was suddenly obtained in this short period of time, how can these old guys who have been working hard for Yizhou's finances tremble.

Regarding the additional income of 7 billion yuan, Lu Peng expressed his nature as a rich man who has seen a lot of money, and said indifferently: "This 7 billion money, take out 3 billion yuan to reward our soldiers, and leave the rest to the Yizhou treasury as a turnover." ”

Just this sentence made those Yizhou officials all moved to tears, what a good lord, others occupy a place, they have to search desperately, where is like their own lord, not only do not want money, but also post money. Now it seems that it was wise to overthrow Liu Zhang and reject Liu Bei at the beginning. Thinking about Zhang Song, who succumbed to death to meet Lu Peng and the well-being of Yizhou, everyone is even more embarrassed.

Seeing the immensely moved group of Yizhou officials and soldiers, Lu Peng proudly began to sell his fallacies: "War is a thing that burns money, but what angle can you stand on this thing, according to the conventional thinking, war is a single conquest, that is, when I came, you persuaded me, but I don't see it that way, I see war as an investment, a business, I have no way to fight infighting, I said, I am a staunch nationalist, I can't do anything to my mother, so the civil war is the last thing I want to get involved in, because I can't bear it, because I don't have any money to make. ”

The officials in Yizhou worshiped for a while, and the officials in Youzhou were disdainful.

"So, in the war in the Central Plains, I can borrow someone else's hand, I hope I am just a guy who is fighting and fighting to clean up the mess."

This is a true word, or you wouldn't have kindly supported Liu Bei, it's not that you want to borrow Liu Bei's hand to bite Cao Cao, and then you are as high-sounding as you said, in fact, it is said that you have cleaned up the mess and taken advantage of it, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao are a lesson from the past.

"But I like foreign wars." Then he thought with a look on his face: "Foreign wars are good, I can not only occupy the land of foreign races and rob their cattle and sheep wealth, but also rob their populations and sell them to make up for our shortfalls, so that the wars that were originally burning money will become a means for us to make a fortune, a way to stimulate domestic demand, and a driving force to promote and stimulate our development." That's the real war. ”

Seeing the expressions of a group of Yizhou officials beginning to change from confused to ignorant to suddenly clear, Lu Peng stood at the door of the big tent, pinching his beardless chin, looking at the thousands of mountains in the distance, and couldn't help muttering: "I don't know how many more slaves he can send me in the upcoming battle with Meng Huo again, but I have already booked 100,000 yuan, I really expect Meng Huo not to let me down." ”

So, all the officials of Yizhou and Youzhou pinched their chins together, looked at the thousands of mountains, looked forward to it together, and sighed. I'm really afraid that Meng Shu will ruin the contracts signed with those businessmen because he is not interesting, and I am really afraid that he will block everyone's financial path.
