Chapter 091: Collusion of Interests
Faced with the fact that Lu Peng's base could produce such good iron so easily, after a moment of shock, Mi Zhu cautiously spoke: "General Lu, can you share my share of this wrought iron, I am not so greedy, as long as I give me three achievements a day, I can give you 600 yuan a stone." ”
Such a price can completely move people's hearts, but even so, Mi Zhu will transport these wrought iron to Xuzhou for sale, it will also be 30% or even 40% of the profit, which will become a very important economic source for the Mi family in the future, will greatly improve the operation structure of the Mi family, and become another huge source of wealth for the Mi family.
However, Mi Zhu is still very measured, after all, the same iron trafficking, Zhang Shiyuan in front, if he is too greedy, he will definitely hate the three brothers, and now Mi Zhu has to admit that his family has been tightly tied to this Lu Peng, one is the grain produced by himself, Zhang Shiyuan's brothers have occupied a very considerable share of sales, and the second, the liquor invented by Lu Peng is monopolized by his family in Xuzhou, and the profits here have begun to catch up with the profits of his family's original grain industry. Become the family's first source of profit in the future, and the war will break out, and then win this wrought iron business, then the family's profits will go hand in hand.
Especially the latter, together with food, will become an indispensable important military strategic material for heroes to compete for hegemony, as long as these two things are mastered, even if the Mi family has no ambition to compete for hegemony, but let the ambitious heroes bow down, so that the Mi family is invincible in the war, it is also easy.
And once he offended Zhang Shiyuan, looking at the closeness of the three brothers, he also knew that it would be tantamount to offending Lu Peng and offending Lu Peng, not only could the business not be done, but the original grain business would also have a crisis, and at that time the gains outweighed the losses.
Now, the grain needed by the Zhang brothers' brewing industry has become Mizhu's biggest partner, especially the grain needed by Zhang Shiyuan's brewing is not high in terms of quality, so there is no competition and conflict with the food that people eat, so the Mi family's business with Zhang Shiyuan is quite stable. I must not lose the original rich and huge business because of the greed of iron.
It's just that in the blink of an eye, Mi Zhu has already sorted out the relationship, so he tentatively discussed the supply and sales of iron with Lu Peng.
As a result, Zhang Shiyuan was a kind person, nodded at Mi Zhu, and then turned to Lu Peng and said: "The price given by Mr. Mi Zhu is also fair, and the amount required is not too high, I think the third brother can agree." ”
Since the eldest brother spoke, Lu Peng had no reason not to agree, so he nodded in agreement, but the conversation changed: "I am satisfied with this price and this quantity, and I agree, but now it cannot be delivered according to this amount." ”
Zhang Shiyuan asked puzzledly: "Why is this?" ”
Lu Peng was really numb in his legs when he knelt down, so he took the opportunity to stand up and began to walk around in the middle of the ground to organize his thoughts.
Lu Peng had actually seen Mi Zhu's eagerness to control the iron material, and he had to admire the wit of the most famous figure in the Three Kingdoms period.
But his thoughts are in conflict with his own, but his request is forcing his current self to agree.
The two most critical things in the war, food and weapons, are now in the hands of the other side and themselves.
The Mizhu family has the food they urgently need, but they have already mastered the iron material that the other party wants to keep the family's foundation.
But Lu Peng definitely wants to be manipulated by others, and definitely doesn't want to be manipulated, so after sorting out his thoughts and thinking of the wording, he told his eldest brother and second brother his prospects: "Now the valley I have mastered is vast and fertile, and I have implemented the reclamation system, hoping to be self-sufficient in food in the autumn of next year, and at the same time be able to supply a part of my army, and now my population is only 30,000, which will limit my development in terms of potential, so I will not hide it from my eldest brother and second brother and Mr., I'm going to start recruiting displaced people from the surrounding area in the near future. ”
Zhang Shiyuan raised his hands in favor of Lu Peng's plan, and expanding the population under his control is the most fundamental foundation for development.
"Originally, this idea was just an idea and could not be implemented, but now that the eldest brother has brought me such a huge amount of food, brother I have confidence in my heart, I am ready to open the road in front of my valley gate from tomorrow, and begin to send people to recruit displaced people to the surrounding areas, so that my land can be fully developed, but the original tools of the people's homes, most of them are wood, and the inefficiency of reclaiming wasteland is outrageous, after I have this batch of iron, I will be the first to meet the weapons and equipment of the army, It is the people's agricultural tools, and I will sell a batch of agricultural tools to the people on credit, so that we can improve the efficiency of our reclamation of wasteland, and there will be enough land for cultivation in the spring of the next year, this amount is huge, and it is also what I must do, only by letting the people who follow me eat and clothe me, they can truly follow me, and become the basis for me to support the Han family again in the future. ”
At this time, in order to win Mi Zhu into his team and dig into Liu Bei's corner, Lu Peng did not hesitate to show his ambition in front of outsiders.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion, everywhere has not really subsided, this is just a precursor before the chaos, in the near future, this Han world, there will be a situation of warlords separating, the situation of the heroes, so, a huge population base, a well-equipped iron army, is the basis for our future life, in view of this situation, my steel also has to meet my army, so that at least before I will produce 10,000 catties of iron per day, it cannot be sold to the outside world, even if the output is reached, It can only be exported at most, please forgive my brother and Mr. Mi Zhu. ”
Mi Zhu is a smart person, the world is in turmoil, it has long been expected by him, this is why he was able to follow Zhang Shiyuan and Su Shuang to Lu Peng, according to the reason why he was able to follow Zhang Shiyuan and Su Shuang to Lu Peng, a wealthy family, many people, but a huge amount of wealth is also eye-catching, the world is in chaos, both will burst out, find a stable backer, this is the top priority, as the so-called people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, smart people will always walk in front of others.
