The original big tent of Wu Tuhan has now become Lu Peng's camp, and just now, Xu Jie kicked over a soldier with a torch who was about to set the tent on fire. If this is really ignited according to the rules, his own state shepherd will become a roasted whole sheep.
"Mr. Zheng is willing to take the risk to enter the grassland, which is very admirable." Lu Peng warmly beckoned these merchants to sit down, and then pointed to the unpalatable milk tea on the table in front of him: "It's a pity that this place has just gone through the war, and there is nothing good to entertain you, so I can only entertain you with the milk tea I captured." β
Being so valued by the dignified Dahan Prefecture Mu, Zheng Da and these businessmen trembled with excitement one by one, and knelt down to kowtow to Lu Peng to return the salute, and Lu Peng pulled up to greet him.
"Now is the time of war, let's not be polite, Mr. Zheng will definitely get a rich reward for this adventure."
Zheng Da said humbly: "Businessmen seek profits, this is a matter of course, if we, our colleagues, take a great risk to follow the general's footsteps to come here, there is no return, who wants to come?" β
Lu Peng liked Zheng Da's straightforwardness very much, so he opened the seizure list that Xu Jie had just delivered: "Wool, a thousand bundles, what kind of price can you offer?" β
Wool is a sought-after thing in the mainland, in the mainland, a bundle of wool is sold for 2,000 yuan, at this time, Zheng Da smiled and said: "We pay 1,000 yuan." β
Lu Peng glanced at the uneasy businessmen, and then said to Zheng Da: "I only charge you 500 yuan per bundle." β
Zheng Da didn't know Lu Peng's purpose, and he was stunned at the time for taking the initiative to pull down the price of selling things, thinking that Lu Peng was talking back, so he hurriedly gave up his hand again, and said modestly: "The general said that he laughed, if you think the price is unfair, we can add another 200 yuan to each bundle." β
Lu Peng shook his hand sincerely: "What I said is true, businessmen seek profits, it is natural, if there is no huge profit, how can you businessmen follow in the footsteps of my army?" Five hundred dollars, I think the price is already fair. Then he spread his hands: "Anyway, I also robbed these things, and I don't have the capital at all, to put it nicely, I count these things as trophies, if you say it's ugly, it's called thief." Then he burst out laughing.
Zheng Da finally understood what Lu Peng meant, and looked at each other with a dozen or so peers, and the eyes of these peers were already bursting with a raging fire of desire.
"I just calculated that there are more than 2,000 sheep I have seized this time, but I will kill these sheep to make dry food, but I will sell them to you at a price of 100 yuan each."
100 dollars, which is almost equivalent to giving it away for free, makes these merchants even more eager.
"Can you sell us some horses? Good and inferior, we average, 5,000 yuan a horse, if it is a good war horse, we can give 10,000 yuan. β
Now the warlords in the interior are rising, all the warlords are sparing no effort to expand their armaments, war horses in the Central Plains of the mainland, has become a scarce item with no price, ordinary ploughing horses and pack horses, have been sold for 20,000 yuan, a better war horse, are around 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, these businessmen pay 10,000 yuan a war horse, in fact, it is not a loss, as long as it is transported back to the Central Plains, in the blink of an eye, it is three or four times the profit, which really makes all the people red.
Lu Peng looked at the list of seizures in his hand, and shook his head apologetically: "The horses I captured this time are only a thousand, and I need to strengthen the strength of my chariot, so I can't sell them to you." Seeing everyone's disappointed eyes, Lu Peng smiled and said, "When I replace all my chariot animals with double horses, I will give you priority in the next capture." β
With the hope of next time, all businesses are eager to try.
"There are also 3,000 cattle, and I still sell them to you for 500 yuan each, but I have one condition, that is, I must sell these cattle to the Youzhou area under my control first, and you may agree."
Zheng Da, on behalf of all the businessmen, nodded again and again: "This is the should, this is the should." βοΌ
Lu Peng pointed to the large and small boxes like a hill in the big tent: "This is the jewelry I seized this time, these are the things of our original people in the Central Plains, this time it is back to our hands again, I will continue to fight in the grassland, so please transport the gold and silver here back to my territory, and hand it over to Mr. Mi Zhu, the head of the household who is waiting in Yuyang, and the jewelry and antiques in it, please also ask you to sell them all over the Central Plains on your behalf, of course, the proceeds from the sale of these jewelry and antiques, I will share it equally with you." β
With a bang, the big tent was completely chaotic. These merchants traveled from south to north, but they were all knowledgeable, just look at the jewels in the open box, almost all of them are quite valuable, if it is really as Lu Peng said, sell it and share it equally with you, everyone will become rich in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that this harvest was too huge, Zheng Da also wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Peng, whispered with other businessmen for a while, and gave Lu Peng his hand again: "This time, more than a dozen brothers jointly transported 200 truckloads of supplies, even if we comfort the general's army, please smile." β
Lu Peng laughed: "You are all justices of the peace, how dare we accept your hard-earned money?" β
Zheng Da said solemnly: "In order to stabilize the border of the Han Dynasty and sweep away the foreign races, the general did not hesitate to sacrifice and fight hard. β
Lu Peng thought about it, then nodded in agreement, but turned to say: "But I want to tell you first, next time I go into the grassland to buy the capture of our army, don't transport supplies when you come." β
"Hasn't the logistics of the Lu Jiajun always been shared by businessmen? Why didn't you need it this time? Zheng Da asked suspiciously.
In fact, Zheng Da has also participated in the supply and sale of military supplies to the armies of various parts of the Han Dynasty many times, and he is already familiar with this kind of army supply routine, Lu Peng suddenly said that this time they no longer need to provide military supplies to the army, which is indeed beyond his expectations.
Lu Peng explained with a smile: "This time I am practicing the principle of giving food to the enemy, completely abandoning the logistics supply in the rear, and all military supplies rely on capturing the enemy, and the military supplies you sold me are okay in the Central Plains, but here, it will slow down my march." β
Everyone was stunned, but there was a kind of slander in their hearts: "Just feed the enemy, the words sound good, but in fact, it's not just robbing the enemy?" "But think about it, I really feel hatred in my heart, the grassland people have robbed the Han people too much, and it is only natural to rob them this time.
After counting the numbers, Lu Peng told them: "This payment will be transferred directly to the Youzhou Household Department, my time is urgent, I can't stay here for a long time, you should immediately straighten out the caravan and set off immediately." β
Looking at the caravan that was busy packing, Lu Peng pinched his chin and said to Xu Jie proudly: "Just this robbery, not only has we completed our set goal, if you count those gold, silver and jewelry, you will definitely have five million dollars in your pocket, and now Mr. Mi Zhu will smile." β
Xu Jie also sighed: "If we have another war horse transaction in the future, this number will be greater than now, it seems that the best way in the world to make money is still - rob it." β
At this time, a merchant in the caravan smiled flatteringly and walked up to Lu Peng's eyes: "General, I see that there are six or seven hundred slaves in your camp, can you also sell them to me?" I'll pay a thousand dollars a piece. β
Hearing this, Lu Peng's face immediately fell, his pupils contracted violently, and a murderous aura erupted on his body.
The merchant was thrilled by this murderous aura, and knelt down in front of Lu Peng in fear, and Lu Peng stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, leaning over to him in a gloomy tone and saying: "I can sell your cattle, sheep and horses, but I will never sell our compatriots, please remember this." Then he raised his head and said to the trembling merchants, "Next time, if anyone asks me like this again, I will kill them." With that, he strode away.
