Chapter 49: Uncle and Nephew
Peng Zhongyu watched for a long time without saying a word, and suddenly, he took a step forward, walked to the short-haired man at the head and said, "Second uncle, is it you?" When did you come to Pingwu Castle? ”
That person was Peng Bohai, Peng Bohai raised his head, took a closer look at the young general in front of him, he stepped forward and hugged Peng Zhongyu and said: "Zhongyu, it's you, if you don't call, I don't dare to recognize you, you have grown taller and stronger."

The two recognized each other, Sun Bin next to him was at a loss, he looked at the two of them with some panic, and began to stammer: "General, do you know each other?" ”
Peng Bohai immediately let go of Peng Zhongyu, came to Sun Bin alone and said, "Old Sun, what are you doing here, what can't we say between us, you are so popular." But I want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know when I'd be able to see my nephew. After Peng Bohai finished speaking, he laughed out loud with a relaxed face.
Then he pulled Peng Zhongyu to introduce the two people who came with him, and those butchers also noticed the abnormality and gathered around one after another. Peng Bohai put aside the controversy with Sun Bin first, proudly pulled Peng Zhongyu and introduced it to everyone. These butchers swept away the tension just now, and they became extremely happy. While looking Peng Zhongyu up and down, he chatted with Peng Bohai affectionately. Someone else came over and pulled Peng Zhongyu, asked him about his armor, and asked him about the iron spear he was tied to the ground.
Sun Bin was a little dumbfounded, he really didn't know what was going on, and suddenly this little general was a family with this Peng Bohai. Just said so many bad things about Peng Bohai, it seems that it will not play a good role. He felt nervous for a while, watching the young man being pulled by Peng Bohai and making a loud introduction everywhere opposite, as if he intended to let himself hear.
Sun Bin thought about it, came directly to the noisy crowd, grabbed Peng Zhongyu and said, "General, what do you say about the affairs of our two families?" If you have such a relationship, I'm afraid that others will be unconvinced, right? ”
Peng Zhongyu turned his head to look at Sun Bin and said, "Mr. Sun, in this way, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to deal with this matter now." You see that, okay? How about you and my second uncle go and talk to the king? ”
Sun Bin said: "That's the best, if you deal with it, no matter how fair it is, I'm afraid others will be unconvinced." Peng Bohai, do you dare to go? ”
Peng Bohai smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, I haven't done anything wrong, I'm not afraid of going anywhere." Go and go, we'll go now. Zhongyu, you lead the way, and Mr. Sun and I will go to meet Hewang. ”
The crowd parted ways, and three men walked out.
Peng Zhongyu explained to the student soldiers that before they came back, they should watch the scene and not let the two sides fight. Peng Zhongyu found a military horse and asked Sun Bin if he could ride a horse, Sun Bin gritted his teeth and said, you can ride over, but you can't ride too fast.
Peng Zhongyu helped Sun Bin get on a black military horse, the black horse walked in front, he and Peng Bohai followed slowly behind, and walked towards the Pingwu City Gate together. Along the way, Peng Zhongyu and Peng Bohai walked and chatted. Peng Zhongyu talked about his own affairs, and he also made those military exploits.
After listening to his nephew's introduction, Peng Bohai was so happy that he was about to jump off the horse. couldn't stop saying: "Our Peng family is going to be a general, our Peng family is going to be a general." Peng Zhongyu blushed and dissuaded his second uncle, don't talk to Wang Mian that he is a general, he is just a student soldier, nothing at all.
Peng Bohai smiled, and before he could introduce how he made his fortune, the three horses had already come to Jiang Hexing.
The three of them jumped off their horses and came to the river together to salute. Jiang Hexing saw them arrive at the same time, and also jumped off the war horse, pointed to the grass under his feet, and several people sat on the grass together.
Peng Zhongyu first briefly explained the process, and then pointed at Peng Bohai, saying that this was his second uncle, and he had no way to adjudicate it, so he had to bring it to Jiang Hexing for comment.
Jiang Hexing looked at Peng Bohai and said: "Brother Peng, you have developed fast enough, it has only been a few days, and you have done a huge business?" ”
Peng Bohai saw Jiang Hexing just now, and he came to his senses, and it turned out that the person he saw on the dock that day was actually the king of Pingzhou. He was a little overwhelmed for a while, and he didn't dare to recognize each other for a while, and he didn't dare to say anything. Fortunately, Jiang Hexing took the initiative to talk to him, so he felt more relaxed. Seeing Jiang Hexing's inquiry, Peng Bohai hurriedly replied: "I didn't do it alone, but I have more helpers, so it can be said that the beef and mutton here, and the cowhide and sheepskin are all my partners." ”
Jiang He Xingjue was strange, and even Sun Bin was puzzled. Put aside their dispute for the time being, and they all want to know how this Peng Bohai did it.
Peng Bohai didn't wait for everyone to ask, and then said slowly: "He Wang, Mr. Sun, I will also tell you how I did it during this time." A few months ago, I shipped grain from home and sold it all in Two Lakes City as military rations. Someone in the family went back with money, and I brought some money myself, so I wanted to come here to see. There are a lot of cattle and sheep here, so you think there is always some business to do, right? At least you can sell some cattle and sheep back.
When I arrived at the dock in Pingwu, I also saw and chatted with Wang for a while. Later, I went to Yangma City. At that time, Yangma Market was still on that meadow, and everything was chaotic. I watched it for two days, and calculated that if I brought the money to do the sheepskin and cowhide business, I would not be able to do a big deal, and it would take several months to go back to Pingzhou, and I would not be able to do a few trips of business in a year.
I want to think about it and figure it out for myself. I saw that the cattle and sheep market was in a hurry, so I bought some wood myself, found someone to build a shed, and made a few meat racks, machetes, and meat selling boards. I sorted these out and then asked someone to sell the meat inside. At first, no one came to buy meat, so I found a carriage and pulled the meat to the city to contact the Sun family who repaired the city. Mr. Sun Zhong was very busy, so he asked Mr. Sun Bin to contact me. Right, Sun Bin? ”
Sun Bin nodded, and then Peng Bohai's words said: "Hewang, Mr. Sun Zhong asked me to contact Peng Bohai. It just so happens that the meat is fresh, clean, and cheap. We started buying meat from them. ”
Peng Bohai continued: "He Wang, the Sun family used meat at the beginning, and a few people could kill cattle and sheep, and they could supply it. But after this repair of the city really came up, more and more mutton and beef were used, and I also made a little money. I see that Pingwu City is overhauling the city, and there are still many places in the city that are building houses and roads. There is simply not enough meat, food is much more expensive than meat here, and if you slaughter more cattle and sheep, you can have a lot of food left.
I will use the money I earn to expand the slaughterhouse and build a bigger shed for selling meat. Let them do their own work with the people they invited before, as long as they are slaughtered here by me, and I will not take any money. For every 5 sheep slaughtered, give me a sheepskin. I also built my own sheepskin market, so that it was easy to buy and sell sheepskins. Not just sheepskins, but cowhides, and other animal skins.
I thought it would take a long time for someone to come to my slaughterhouse to do it, but I didn't think that in less than three days, hundreds of people came. Most of them are craftsmen hired by Mr. Sun. Because I have a unified market price here, and I sell it to the outside world, meat is always cheaper than grain. Therefore, there is always a shortage of supply, so there is a craftsman invited by the Sun family first, because he often deals with me. volunteered to slaughter cattle and sheep by himself, and in less than a day, he made a lot of money.
He probably had a lot of fellow villagers who came with him, and 15 of them came that night. In this way, it snowballed, and in less than 10 days, hundreds of people from my place came to slaughter cattle and sheep, and many people went to specialize in the business of cowhide and sheepskin.
My business is getting bigger and bigger, and a large number of sheepskin and cowhide are also pulled to the boat by horse-drawn carts and pulled to Pingzhou. My business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people.
Among these people, some came from Pingzhou. There are also craftsmen from other places, of course, the most of them are the craftsmen brought by the Sun family. Therefore, Sun Bin came to me a few days ago.
And the king, you see, I am also embarrassed by this. I'm not trying to persuade them to come, as long as they come, I'll lend them a little start-up capital, but the interest is a little higher. Then they all bought their own cattle and sheep, slaughtered them themselves, and then sold cowhides, sheepskins, beef, mutton, and so on.
I think they probably think that I have more money and freedom here, so more and more people are coming. But lately, the money has not been so easy to make. But there are still people who come and say they came, what can I do? ”
After listening to Peng Bohai's speech, everyone praised this person for his brains.
