In Lu Peng's cabin, Lu Peng was accompanying the old man to drink slowly.

The frightened old man was comforted by Lu Peng, the arrow wound on his body was also treated, and his expression returned to normal, showing his self-cultivation and demeanor again.

"I don't know how many mines and smelting factories the old man has now, and there are workers under him." In order to make the next move, he needed to figure things out, so Lu Peng began to chat with this old man, and in this chatter, he tried to get as much information as possible, which was absolutely necessary for his upcoming decision.

The old man respectfully accepted Lu Peng's toast and replied indifferently, "There are three mines, five smelters, and more than 10,000 workers are employed." Then he added: "These are definitely not the slave servants of our house, these are hired workers." ”

This is very important, Lu Peng's most taboo is that the wealthy family keeps slaves, and for those who commit crimes against the wind, if these slaves are not transferred to the grassland, then his result will be very tragic, and inexplicable crimes will rush to his family anytime and anywhere, and in a blink of an eye, no matter how brilliant the family will be. Lu Peng, the title of Lu Laohu is definitely not just said externally, but even more so internally, he has truly achieved that those who follow me will live, and those who oppose me will die.

Seeing this old man on the road like this, Lu Peng smiled and diverted the topic, "Who is your buyer?" "It's a trade secret, but you have to ask about it.

The patriarch replied without hesitation: "Jianye Sun Quan." ”

Lu Peng was impressed by this patriarch at that time, and he was able to connect with Sun Quan, who was eager to develop, this old man was not simple.

Seeing Lu Peng's expression, the old man explained in fear: "The lord imposed an embargo on Cao Cao, but it seems that there is no embargo on Sun Quan, so it's a small poop-"

Lu Peng waved his hand generously: "If there are no provisions in the law, it is allowed, you are doing the right thing, not only do you have to do business with Sun Quan, but also set up this line for other businessmen in Youzhou." Then he smiled and said to the old man: "We also want to dump Sun Quan as we did with Cao Cao at the beginning." "Later, of course, it is the current situation of Cao Cao, who is embarrassed.

So the old man was thoughtful, so he happily explained to Lu Peng: "How to get the permission of the lord, all the smelters in our north will be resurrected, and you are the great benefactor of our people." ”

"What do you mean?"

"After the embargo imposed on Cao Cao by the lord, it was the most significant impact on our smelting enterprises, almost all the fields were on the verge of bankruptcy, but in order to follow the jobs of our people, we had to struggle."

Lu Peng was full of apologies and gratitude, and bowed his hand to the old man: "The country is so difficult that you are affected, but your feelings of focusing on the overall situation, this official has written it down, and soon after, I will definitely return this favor." ”

After receiving this promise from Lu Peng, the old man immediately stood up and respectfully returned the salute to Lu Peng: "As the sage said, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and we still have this vision and responsibility, but we have made this little bit of strength, but we have received such a promise from the lord, and I thank all the merchants and workshop owners in Youzhou in advance." ”

After a polite exchange between the two sides, they sat down and continued their detailed discussion.

"Due to business difficulties, Xiao Laoer had to go south in person, looking for new buyers, this stop-and-go to the south, in fact, I went to the south purely by luck, in the eyes of our northerners, now the south is a miasma of smoke, the people's livelihood has not been civilized, but the result is otherwise, here is rich in people, and far away from the Central Plains war, business opportunities are indeed greater."

Lv Peng sighed: "The civilization of the south has a long history, and the splendid culture created by the Chu State in 800 years is definitely not inferior to the Central Plains, but the northerners are used to being the boss, and they have slowly formed a complacent, and there are very few people who come out like you, so this time the kid implores the old man to show up after returning to Youzhou, telling everyone that the south is not as ignorant and uncivilized as everyone imagined, and this is indeed a broader world." ”

"That's what the lord said." After accepting this task, the old man continued: "I don't know much about other businesses, but for example, in my iron-smelting industry, the market is much larger than in our north. ”

Seeing that Lu Peng didn't understand, the old man excitedly showed off what he had seen: "The south does not produce iron at all, and it all depends on the import from the north." I think Cao Cao made a lot of money here at the beginning. The climate in the south is humid, and the iron corrodes and rusts faster, so the consumption of farm tools and weapons is greater, if the lord can support us to open the market in the south, so that we can safely transport the iron to the south, now we have the iron produced in Youzhou, there is no supply at all, now I have the guarantee of the lord, I am ready to go back immediately, and double the scale of our family business again, so that I can at least solve the employment problem of 10,000 people for the lord. ”

Lu Peng sighed that business opportunities are everywhere, and now his own expenses are too large, a brocade guard is a gold-swallowing beast, plus the soldiers and orphans caused by the expanding war, they also have to raise their own funds to cultivate, and education is even more expensive. Now, I should immediately discuss with my eldest brother and second brother, extend my business to the south, make a fortune from it, and by the way, completely empty the financial resources of Dongwu, so as to reduce a lot of resistance when I deal with Sun Quan in the future, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Standing on the height of history, there is the advantage of this, you can clearly see who is your friend and who is your enemy, and at the same time, you can control the role change between your enemies and friends more strategically.

The sage said that to synchronize with others is mediocrity, one step ahead is the winner, two steps ahead is the king, three steps ahead, you are already a saint. And standing at the height of history like himself, easily surpassing all his fellow travelers by four steps, he is actually a demon.

With such a demonic mentality, Lu Peng decided to play some tricks on Sun Quan, he had to cut off his right-hand man, and he had to make Sun Quan feel good about himself, and then lay a firm foundation for the future alliance.

At this time, it was necessary to give a great supply of strategic materials urgently needed by Sun Chuan, to support him to later unite with Liu Bei against Cao Cao, and then to fight against Liu Bei, and to consume those two future opponents for himself.

At the same time, we must take advantage of this opportunity to firmly grasp his life, hollow out his family foundation, and make a foreshadowing for the future unification of the world.

Do you think you're a black-bellied demon? In the end, Lu Peng firmly affirmed - yes.
