Chapter 364: Li Shuai
When old friends meet, they naturally have to have a good drink.
Although Liu Jun has the name of a magistrate, in fact, this is just a left-behind military camp. He always took out the same set in the army, and threw a lot of things to his subordinates, and then he was actually very leisurely. According to his words, if it weren't for the lame leg, he wouldn't have stayed on this broken island.
"You don't know, there's not even a place to drink here, so I miss your soju."
One of Liu Jun's lieutenants unceremoniously debunked his boss, "My lord, the alcohol you have recently healed is greatly exceeded." ”
Everyone laughed.
Liu Jun kicked his subordinates twice without face, "You shit, although we are brothers together in Chang'an City, but here, I am your boss." ”
"Who doesn't know who." That Captain Zhao still said politely.
Everyone is a son of Xun Qi, they are all Guanlong nobles, and they have almost the same background and resume, your Liu Jun's Laozi is a Guogong, and my Zhao's grandfather is also a Guogong. You Liu Jun used to be an errand in the inner house, and I, Zhao, used to be a personal guard, and you are now in the seventh rank of the military, and I am just from the seventh grade. Besides, everyone is used to it, and this is also the rear, so I didn't really take those barracks military regulations to heart.
"You can't drink too much medical alcohol, that thing doesn't have any taste, drinking too much hurts your body, especially if you're still a wounded soldier." Li Xiao reminded.
Lao Liu said indifferently, "My legs are like this, do I still care if he hurts his body if he drinks too much?" Besides, how much do you think you can really drink in this camp? Even if I was the left-behind captain on this island, I wouldn't be able to drink much. ”
The medicinal wine on Tamna Island was brought with the army last time, and now it is in short supply. Most of them went to the front, and only a few remained here.
"You have really mastered a new seamanship, and now you can ride the wind and go back against the wind?" Liu Jun asked, if he really has this ability, then he will not be afraid of the many medicines and grain and grass that are needed in this camp.
After all, it is easy for a normal boat to come, and it is easy to take advantage of the downwind of the season, but it is troublesome to sail back, and now there is no wind, so you can either wait for the wind to come, wait for a few months, or you can only go back around the coast, at least a month or two.
There are so many ships, there is no way.
"Only when the head wind is not feasible, the remaining seven winds are available." Li Xiao explained with a smile, anyway, although you can't sail against the wind, you can sail on all seven winds, and you don't have to go against the wind.
"That's good, damn it, Lao Tzu saves drinking it every day, and now I can finally drink it boldly with confidence. Lao Zhao, go to the medical camp, get some medicinal wine, let's have a good drink tonight, anyway, with our Li Jingluo here, I won't worry about myrrh wine in the future. ”
Li Xiao waved his hand.
"What kind of medicinal wine to drink, that thing heals wounds and heals, it doesn't taste good to drink. I came this time, but I brought a lot of boats, and the whole fleet had more than 100 boats, although some were large and some were small, but I brought a lot of various supplies. Do you want to drink? How many ships of all kinds of wine have been transported in the Central Plains, but what kind of wine do you want to drink? ”
Li Xiao sold more than 8,000 slaves in Chishanpu, and after sharing the money with everyone, he set sail east. Last time, there were three boats at sea, and this time there were more than 100 boats, and everyone wanted to run this new route, and they all wanted to make a fortune.
After all, a new route that only takes three days to make a round trip means that the business opportunities are limitless.
When Liu Jun heard that there was wine, his eyes lit up.
Men who like to drink are idle and okay in the back, so they naturally want to drink more.
"Lao Zhao, then hurry up and move the wine." Lao Liu said excitedly.
Zhao Zhiman arranged for the mercenaries to come over at this time and greeted Liu Jun, "That wine is not a material for the imperial court, but a private commercial product." The ships are all merchants' ships, and you have to buy wine. ”
He reminded Liu Jun.
"Do business and do this barracks is here, cow."
"That's what Saburo meant."
Li Xiao explained, "In fact, it is not only wine, but also food, cloth, medicine and other materials needed by the sailors. ”
"Sold to us? But we don't have any money. Liu Jun spread his hands.
"Whoever says you don't have money, you're rich. You have crossed the sea, destroyed more than 30 cities in Baekje, and now you occupy a large area of territory along the southern coast, conquering a large area of land, can you still lack money? ”
Li Xiao reminded Liu Jun that the businessmen were also unprofitable, and although everyone came with commercial goods under his organization, no one planned to donate for free.
Merchants brought in grain, medicines, and even wine, meat, cloth, etc., which were to be traded. And the Crusade Sailor is actually rich.
"Don't you have many captives here? There are also a lot of loot that can be used to trade with merchants. In this way, the military camp received much-needed grain, grass and medicines, and the merchants were able to profit, so you didn't have to wait for the imperial court to transfer grain and grass supplies. ”
The efficiency of the imperial court is actually not as fast as the merchants at this time, they have to collect all kinds of materials, and then they have to collect ships, and then form a fleet to transport them, how can it be so fast.
However, the merchants can rely on their own advantages to take advantage of this time difference.
For example, there are merchants who sell wine, and their wine is already in stock, and for example, the boatmen, they are the ones who run the boats, and there are also those grain merchants, cloth merchants, medicine merchants, and so on.
"Is that good?" Liu Jun asked. He used to be just a slamming lieutenant, but now he was wounded and left behind in this rear camp, and he was really inexperienced with this kind of thing.
"What's so bad? These captured booty, returned to the prisoners, and finally had to be transported back to the Central Plains, and then had to be handed over to the imperial court, and finally sold, which was very troublesome. It's hard to get out for a while, and you have to increase the cost of custody if you keep it, so how good is it for you to trade directly now? ”
"There is no middleman to make the difference, especially if you don't have to keep this burden, you can just throw it away."
Liu Jun's face was overjoyed when he heard this, yes, this is indeed the case. Besides, Li Xiao is now an Andong Dao Jingluo pacification envoy, with the two titles of Jingluo envoy and pacification envoy, and there is an errand for Wuzhenzhou's assassination history, that is his Liu Jun's direct boss, he said okay, that is naturally okay.
In any case, the envoy of the economy is also to be called handsome.
And the captives and captives in this camp are indeed a burden, especially the captives.
"I listen to Li Shuai about this." Liu Jun rolled his eyes and said with a smile. This guy looks coarse, but he is also coarse and fine.
"Listen to me, don't worry, I won't let the sailor suffer, I make a guarantee that I won't let you suffer."
As soon as Lee set foot on the land of Baekje, he began to make his first decision after taking office.
"Show me all the loot and captives on this island, and I'll sell them to you for a good price in a moment." Li Xiao said with a smile.
Behind him, there was a merchant group composed of hundreds of large and small family representatives from the Central Plains, who were looking around at the island with bright eyes at this time, eager to swallow this island in one bite, and there was not even a bit of slag left.
Captives are slaves, the most sought-after goods in the Central Plains now, no matter when, even in the war years, this slave is also valuable, and the more peaceful the year, the more important and valuable this slave is. In their eyes, all kinds of loot seized by the sailors after the siege of the city, in their eyes, they are all good things that can make money, after all, they have all come to the front line of Baekje, in Li Shuai's words, that is, there is no middleman to make their difference, can the income be poor?
