Chapter 048: Brother Goodbye
Zou Jing was persuaded by Liu Guanzhang and the others, and Lu Peng continued his topic while wiping his nosebleed: "Fourth, with thirty percent more money than before, we can buy along the way, so that we can not only let the soldiers be fed, but also eat well, if we plan to be fine, we can also have some surplus to reward the soldiers, the first - the most important thing is that we take the money to buy along the way, so as not to disturb the people, not only do not disturb the people, but also bring wealth to the people, and bring us closer to the relationship between the people, next time not only our army crosses the border and the people flee, On the contrary, it will make the people look forward to it along the way, and build a good relationship between our army and the people. ”
Zou Jing really admired this bastard guy who he hated so much, but he didn't expect that there were really so many hills and valleys in the chest of this scoundrel, just this one suggestion could completely change the military foundation of the entire empire, the country benefited, the people benefited, the army soldiers benefited, my generals also benefited, and the rear officials benefited even more, it really benefited in all aspects, it seems that this kid's background may not really be blown out.
When Lu Peng was proud, Liu Bei, who had been listening and pondering, suddenly put forward a key thing: "But the army is tens of thousands, all of which are purchased along the way, how can there be so many materials for us to buy?" ”
This is a very critical question. Once there is too much army, the materials required are even more massive, and the materials along the way may not be able to be supplied. This will delay things.
Lu Peng smiled casually and said, "Actually, this matter is easier to solve, that is, we use the power of businessmen." ”
"Merchant?" Everyone looked incredulous: "Could it be that the power of merchants can be used to solve the massive material needs?" ”
Lu Peng nodded: "The power of a merchant is infinite, as long as you can make her make a good profit, for example, we usually buy materials, ten yuan is ten yuan." But at this time, we will give him two more dollars so that he can earn two more percent, and with this extra profit of the two cities, the merchants will do everything they can. Ship all the materials we need, as the so-called one percent of the profit can walk the world with ten percent of the profit, you can make people take risks, if you give enough profits, you have to let the merchants take the moon for you, he will definitely find a way to build a ladder. ”
And then firmly said: "And what about us?" What I asked for from Youzhou was a three-layer of money, do you still care about the extra 20%? ”
Zou Jing stood up at this time and clapped his hands again and again, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's no wonder that it is the descendant of Lu Shenxian, I have indeed obtained this true biography of Shangjia, admire and admire, this thing is done, well, this requires someone to hurry back to Youzhou in the starry night and explain this method to Lord Liu Yan in detail." Then he used his eyes to scan back and forth between Lu Peng and Liu Bei.
Lu Peng directly shrunk his neck. Zou Jing also understood: "Originally, this matter was said by Lu Peng, and it is most appropriate for him to go back, and he can explain things more thoroughly, but this Lu Peng deeply offended Liu Yan at the beginning, and if he is allowed to go back, he can indeed mess things up." ”
So he looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei and Liu Yan are clan relatives, and the two have a very close relationship, Liu Bei can also be a person, and he is very pleasing to Liu Yan.
When Liu Bei saw Zou Jing looking at him, he immediately straightened up and clasped his hands into fists: "If you are not prepared, I am willing to go back to Youzhou to do this." "This is another great credit, and the opportunity to please all aspects of popularity must not be missed.
Zou Jing laughed and agreed: "This matter belongs to Xuande Gong, the military situation cannot be delayed urgently, and Xuande Gong should leave immediately." Liu Bei stood up and answered the order loudly, and then looked at Guan Zhang, Zhang Fei said loudly: "I will go with my brother." ”
Liu Bei said: "The army is about to go to the front line, the captain needs a strong helper, the two brothers will stay in front of the army to serve, and I can complete this task alone." Then he said goodbye to Zou Jing and pulled Lu Peng out of the big tent directly, returned to his barracks, packed up his things, took the double-strand sword, and left the camp.
Lu Peng took Xi Zhen to send him all the way, carefully explained the details of this matter to Liu Bei all the way, and sent the two of them to say goodbye and go their separate ways.
Lu Peng was walking back, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "The one in front is the third brother Hanqiang?" ”
Lu Peng was suddenly taken aback, there are only two people in this world who can call him the third brother, one is Zhang Shiyuan, and the other is Su Shuang, so he quickly pulled the horse and turned around and looked up. A group of people came from afar, and wasn't the leader his second brother Su Shuang?
Lu Peng was overjoyed at the time, happy that his three brothers had been separated for many days, and he was really worried about not hearing from each other, and he was surprised that his second brother suddenly appeared here?
At this time, he didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped off the horse directly and galloped towards his second brother.
Su Shuangjian was indeed his third brother, and he was also overjoyed, jumped off the horse and galloped to greet him, and the two of them saw each other, and the two pairs of big hands were tightly clasped together. Looking each other up and down, Lu Peng's nose couldn't help but sour, and Su Shuang's tears also flowed.
At this time, Xi Zhen also ran over, knelt on one leg on the ground, and saw his owner.
Su Shuang turned his head and asked Xi Zhen, "My eldest brother and I ordered you to follow my third brother to protect his safety, can you do it?" ”
Xi Zhen proudly reported to Su Shuang: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
Lu Peng shook Su Shuang's hand again and again: 'Second brother, why are you here?' ’
