Chapter 526: Don't forget to make money before the war
Shi Lei and his party were actually divided into three groups of people and horses to act together, and Shi Lei and those personal guards naturally squatted on the side of Youzhou City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And Uncle Fan took some knowledgeable people under his command, including some young villagers trained by Teacher Chen, and some guards, and simply ran to Lu Long, the governing office of Pingzhou, to take over the mess of the assassin history first.
He has in his hand the handover document signed by the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Shi Lei's letter of appointment, and the power of attorney allowing Uncle Fan to temporarily help with government affairs, so he can support this piece first.
Anyway, Shi Lei mainly relied on the help of a few of them, he was a personal stamp most of the time, and he wouldn't take care of too many specific affairs, who made him unprofessional.
In the end, there was another way, that is, those special team members, under the leadership of the hunter uncle, took those animal armies together, and all went straight to Lulongsai, the northern gateway of Pingzhou.
Every time the alien races in the north invade south, they generally pass through the line of Yingzhou and Pingzhou, and only run to Youzhou City in an arc.
In addition to Yingzhou, the northernmost state and county in the Tang Dynasty, which must be tested, Lulongsai in Pingzhou is also the focus of harassment by foreign races, and these two places are also strategic places that they can't avoid when they want to enter the heart of Datang, and they are both on the outermost part of Datang, so Shi Lei must be particularly concerned about this Lulongsai.
Uncle Hunter they are in the past, and they are going to appear as a reserve at any time, and the enemies of the province have really succeeded. After Shi Lei finished his affairs in Youzhou City, he would also go straight to Lu Longsai, who made the military situation here more urgent.
He would rather appear on the front line and fight to the death with the enemy than squat in the heart of Pingzhou and deal with government affairs there.
After having a drink with the other generals, Shi Lei stayed in Youzhou City for a few days, and the other generals rushed back early to arrange defense.
Shi Lei and the soldiers under his command are not very familiar, whether he appears or not, it doesn't seem to have much impact, it is better to wait until the generals under his command to publicize his toughness and many glorious deeds in the past that he has just witnessed, and then he will appear in front of everyone in a timely manner, take them to kill the Quartet, and establish his tall image by taking advantage of the situation, and there will not be so much time for mutual temptation and suspicion, and everyone in the province will be embarrassed.
and General Li, who had fought a fight, and Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, who had spoken out, agreed to reunite in winter, and Shi Lei went back to Zhang Shigui.
These two people can be said to be the leaders of the local faction and the foreign faction respectively, Shi Lei naturally needs to have a good relationship with them, and this is what Zhang Shigui specially explained to him. Of course, Zhang Shigui also hoped that through Shi Lei's relationship, he would ease the relationship with General Li and other localists.
In fact, there are no contradictions and conflicts in nature, but there are always some xenophobic emotions in the landlords. And it just so happened that Zhang Shigui and Zhang Jian were both civil and military figures, that is, first-class Confucian generals, and most of the local generals who relied on courage and courage to ascend to the top, and their styles were not quite the same, so the relationship between the two sides could not be too harmonious.
But with Shi Lei, the fierce man of the number one character in the sky, and with a hearty battle, he showed his toughness, and they were very recognized by each other, didn't Zhang Shigui see a turning point.
In addition to telling Shi Lei to do a good job of this communication bridge, as a close elder, Zhang Shigui inevitably had to give Shi Lei a little more thoroughfare, tell him about the local form of Pingzhou, and what kind of information needs to be paid attention to externally, so that he can be targeted after he goes back.
Shi Lei also took this opportunity to express his heart to Zhang Shigui, he planned to open up the market in Youzhou for his caravan.
After living here for a few days, Shi Lei has already seen the development of commerce and trade in Youzhou City, all kinds of commercial houses and guilds are all over Youzhou City, and the business travelers of various ethnic groups are endless, probably because Youzhou occupies a convenient location, water and land transportation is very convenient, and there are major tribes in the north, as well as the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, so foreign trade is very developed.
The Shi family's caravan came over, even if it couldn't open up this huge market at the beginning, it was worth just using this place as a raw material procurement base. All kinds of abundant materials from the vast Tohoku region are also very important to the Shi family's shop.
All kinds of top fur fur is an advantageous resource, what tiger skin, leopard skin, bear skin, mink skin, etc., the quality is higher than that of other places, who makes the weather cold here in the northeast, those animals are covered with heavy fur, one by one oily and slippery, it has become the favorite luxury of the rich and noble.
In addition, there are ginseng, deer antler velvet and other medicinal materials and supplements, which are also of the highest quality, even if they are just trafficked to Chang'an, they can make a lot of profits, not to mention that the Shi family also has its own store that can be reprocessed, and the profits will be doubled several times.
Since Shi Lei has seen such benefits, there is no reason not to gnaw on this piece of fat, not to mention that now that Zhang Shigui is the governor of the capital here, and there is no need to put such a big backer, others will laugh at the Shi family's lack of vision and push the interests of the mouth.
Shi Lei may not have much political sense, but his sensitivity to money is still not low, so don't you plan to talk to Zhang Shigui and grasp this opportunity to make money.
Zhang Shigui naturally has no opinion on this, who will do the business is not to do it, if the Shi family is stationed, the commerce and trade in Youzhou can be more developed, which is only good for Zhang Shigui, who also has the responsibility of developing local people's livelihood, it is only a good thing and no harm.
At this time, taking care of the Shi family's business, others can't say anything, and he is not biased, it is obvious that everyone is still fair competition, but he is just escorted by a strong person.
After getting an affirmative reply, Shi Lei simply sent a flying pigeon to the back. The Shi family's caravan has been gathering strength, but it was originally planned to go to Pingzhou to support the local economic development, and now it is not difficult to transfer to Youzhou.
First gain a firm foothold here, and then extend your tentacles into Pingzhou, those local guys in Pingzhou, the province, think that he is too ugly.
After deciding this, Shi Lei didn't stay any longer, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Shigui, he took his guards and went to Lulongsai.
Anyway, there is not much difference between him and him, he is not a well-known capable official, and he does not have the ability to let the civil officials find the backbone, so he can not help a little, even if he is quite conscious.
But his ability, put it in the border plug is naturally different, with him as a fierce general, it is like having more roots in the sea god needle, which desperate alien rushed to call the board, Shi Lei let his blood splash on the spot in minutes, the improvement of morale is really not a little bit, the original eight points of combat power can play ten, this is also the real value of his coming to Pingzhou.
More than 400 miles of road were in Shi Lei, and they hurried down, and a few days passed. Regardless of the fatigue of the journey, Shi Lei and the guards simply entered the unique fortress group in the shape of "Yue" in Lulongsai.
