Chapter 107: Trading
"Dealers?" The two glanced at each other, not understanding what Lu An meant.
"Oh, it's a second-class dealer!" Lu An came back to his senses and explained.
"Well, it's okay for adults to say that, but it's a little cheap!" Mi Fang and Zhen Wen are a little embarrassed, the word trafficker is not a good word in this era.
"Haha, it's the official's gaffe!" Lu An smiled slightly, thinking about the feasibility in his mind, the conditions that the two said were actually okay, although the price of seventy percent seemed to be suppressed, but he saved the cost of ships and manpower, which was much more cost-effective than personally sending troops to escort and sell, but as soon as the two of them opened their mouths, they were seventy percent, so they should raise the price.
"What do you mean?" The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly asked in unison.
"Eighty percent, and you can't exchange all money and food!" Lu An said.
"What do you use without money?" The two were slightly surprised, they could accept the price of eighty percent, and the family would give them the bottom when they came out, but they didn't need money and food, did this person need other things.
"Horses, lots of horses, and the kind of war horses that can be used in battle!" Lu An's words were amazing.
"Horses?" Mi Fang and Zhen Wen looked at each other, and then there was an uproar in their hearts, sure enough, this person has earth-shattering ambitions, Lu An is a famous general in the world, a prince who occupies four counties, he wants a large number of horses, and his mind is afraid that any passer-by can guess it.
"I guess that's not difficult for the family behind the two! Especially the Zhen family, Hebei is a place to raise horses! Lu An smiled lightly. That's right, he wants horses just to build cavalry, Jingnan is a remote place, and there is no fucking pasture, and it is impossible to establish a large fleet of cavalry, even if Lu An is now in the four counties, and the cavalry in his hand at this time is not even two thousand, what a pitiful number, so he hit the idea on the Zhen family and the Mi family, believing that with their family business, there will be a way to get the horses he needs.
"My lord, horses are very precious to any prince, and although we have some money to spare at home, it is very difficult to get a large number of horses!" Mi Fang smiled bitterly.
"Yes, although Hebei is a place to produce horses, most of the war horses are in the hands of Yuan Jizhou, my Zhen family is just a small family in Jizhou, how can I get a large number of war horses, but the horses used to carry animals can be brought to adults!" Zhen Wen also complained bitterly.
"I don't care about this, I believe you will have a way, the war horse is a condition I must have, of course, I am not without saying that in addition to the green salt and wine, our Wuling paper, and even Wuling's new book, I can supply it to you!" Lu An shook his head and hit another heavy shot.
"Shhh The two of them were a little moved, and Wuling's paper naturally had a lot of reputation with the news of Wuling's new book, but Lu An had never taken it out for sale, not to mention the Wuling new book that had been robbed of madness on the market.
"Hehe, this condition is good, but Wuling's new book is the foundation of my family, I can't provide you too much, I can only supply you about five hundred copies at a time!" Lu An smiled slightly, so many things came out together, they couldn't help but be unmoved.
"Your Excellency treats you well, and we also know that it's just a matter of horses, it's really difficult!" There was a slight bitterness on the faces of the two, Lu An's conditions were undoubtedly very favorable, but horses and war horses were so easy to handle, if this was known by the princes of their place, they would be punished immediately.
"You must know that if you agree to my conditions, my few things will not appear on the market outside except for Wuling, and the price can be ordered by you at that time, and even if you are willing, I don't care if I double my original selling price!" Lu An is like a demagogic devil at this time, constantly challenging the limits in the hearts of the two.
"This!" The two were shocked again, if this was really the case, then they would have a complete monopoly, and the profits in them would have room for operation.
"How? What do you guys think? Looking at the struggling looks on the faces of the two, Lu An asked softly.
"What the adults said, I am very excited in the next, but the war horse is a matter, and I can't be the master in the next, please take it with you, and wait until I go back to report to my brother, and then come to discuss with the adults!" Mi Fang gritted her teeth and spoke. I have to say that Lu An's conditions are really tempting, but such a major event has exceeded his authority, and he has to go back to report to his brother Mi Zhu.
"I also have to go back to report to my father before I can reply to my lord!" Zhen Wen also replied the same.
"Hehe, please take care of yourself! Anyway, we have said it first, and my most basic condition is that you are allowed to give up two-thirds of the money and food, and the remaining one-third must be exchanged for war horses! Lu An knew that he couldn't get all the conditions stuck, and revealed a little bottom line.
"Adults and rest assured, I will remember it and will definitely report it to my family truthfully!" The two nodded in understanding.
"Then I'll wait for good news!" Lu An showed a confident smile, these two are merchant families, not official eunuch families, so they have no position hatred with him, although it is really difficult for the war horse to operate, but I believe that with the strength of the two families, it will be done, and the conditions he offered are not tempted by them.
、、、、
After sending Mi Fang and Zhen Wen away, Lu An also started a new busy, at this time the three counties have been decided, but there are more troubles, the most important of which is naturally the implementation of the new policy, with the successful example of Wuling in front, in fact, this is not much difficult, but the problem is that there are three more counties at once, which is equivalent to a threefold increase in territory, which requires a bottomless pit of officials, especially the special situation of Lu An itself, except for the cold family, can not recruit talents from the family, This makes Lu An even more busy, everyone is worried about the lack of territory, he is good, the territory is there, but there is a shortage of talents, and there is still a large number of shortages.
However, the busyness is only temporary, and after a month, the good news came, in this era, in fact, it doesn't take too long to just read a little bit of books, plus many students of Changhe Academy have a certain foundation themselves, so a group of students of Changhe Academy have graduated at this time, out of gratitude to Lu An, these students have joined the camp of Wuling, contributing to Lu An's hegemony, and they have contributed a lot of strength, including that Pan Jun.
And with the addition of a new force, Lu An also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly sent these students to various positions in the four counties, which was considered to have greatly alleviated the shortage of officials at this time, and Pan Jun was entrusted with a heavy task by Lu An, and was directly sent to Guiyang to cooperate with Wei Yan, one person in charge of military affairs, and one person in charge of government affairs, which is a step to the sky.
At this time, although the talent situation in the four counties is still tense, but it is barely able to operate, and the new policy has begun to spread from Wuling to the other three counties, which is considered to be developing in a good direction, which is constantly gathering the hearts of the people of the three counties for Lu An, and naturally pulling a lot of hatred, the families of the other three counties have hated Lu An, but they are helpless under Lu An's strong military power, and some even directly sell the ancestral industry of the land and go to other places in the Central Plains to develop, which makes Lu An quite proud, If these people are so self-conscious, then it is the province that he cleaned up.
While Lu'an is developing strongly, the Zhen family in Hebei and the Mi family in Xuzhou are also discussing major mistakes at this time.
"Lu Xuantong, he wants a war horse?" Staying in his own mansion, Mi Zhu stared at his second brother and asked.
"Yes, it has to be, he said that he will only accept two-thirds of the money and grain transactions at most, and the rest will have to use war horses, but in addition to fine wine and green salt, he will also sell us a small amount of paper and even Wuling new books, and promise that except for us and the Zhen family, we will not sell them to the outside world!" Mi Fang told his brother Lu An's original words word for word, and he deeply knew that although his brother was only two years older than him, his intelligence was much higher than him, so many important matters in the family, as long as the brother made the decision, it was basically a correct decision.
"This person has the ambition to reach the sky, he just swallowed the three counties, and immediately fought the idea of a war horse, such a masterpiece, I am afraid that he will fly in the future!" Mi Zhu sighed slightly, and already had an evaluation in his heart for the person he had never met.
"Big brother, will we accept it? War horses are hard to get, if Lord Tao knows, I'm afraid our life will be difficult! Mi Fang asked.
