The most difficult business in the world is the business without buyers, as long as there are buyers, the business is easy to do, if there are more buyers, then the business is better, and the ideal point is that there are many buyers, and the seller is only me, then it is called monopoly. There are two kinds of monopolies www.biquge.info which can bring extremely rich profits.

Sun Shao is like this now, it is clearly a difficult task to dump expired equipment, but because even if the crossbow of Yue Guo is about to expire, it is still advanced equipment, Wu Shu refuses to let the other party take advantage, but it has become a very easy task to complete.

"What are you talking about? Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and this is a living example. Sun Shao put his son in his arms with one hand, knocked on the desk with the other, and said triumphantly to Guan Feng and Xiahou Hui who were sitting on the other side: "You always talk about culture and culture, we have a cultural advantage over the people of Funan, right?" Liu Xi's article is well written, but in the face of Fan Man's little profit and coercion, this advantage is invisible, and in the end, he has to rely on technical advantages to win. Now Wu Shu is competing to buy our repeating crossbows, the price is the same every day, and the initiative is all in our hands, such interests are the most real. ”

"I don't think so, these technical advantages are also temporary, if it weren't for the situation, they wouldn't need to fight so much at all, buy one or two and go back to study it, and they will soon be able to imitate it." Xiahou Hui said with a smile: "It was the husband who used their psychology to force them to this point, this is not a technical advantage, in the final analysis, it is a cultural advantage." ”

Sun Shao shook his head and disagreed: "What cultural advantage, I am also a technology, called negotiation technology." He stretched out his hand and pulled his son off his shoulder, touched his sweaty head and said: "The student said Shiyun, I don't object, but the premise is that you have to have strength, strength, Zi Shiyun can be icing on the cake, without strength, Zi Shiyun is just a joke." Son, do you understand? ”

Sun Feng didn't think about it, and nodded again and again: "I understand, I won't go to study tomorrow." ”

"Nonsense!" Guan Feng leaned over and pulled Sun Feng over, raised his hand and slapped him on the buttocks, and said with a tiger face: "You dare to miss a day of class, see if your mother doesn't spank your ass." He turned his face and blamed Sun Shao again: "You can't say something good, Ah Yu just likes to read some books, what you said is all in vain." ”

Sun Shao rolled his eyes depressedly, rubbed his temples with one hand, pointed at Sun Feng with the other and said, "Son, you misunderstood what Ah Weng meant." Ah Weng is not saying that you don't need to read, but that it is not enough to just read, a good man, you can do both literature and martial arts, both hands must be hard, there is no martial arts, that is called a weak scholar, no one listens to what he says, there is no martial arts, that is called a reckless man, even if he is proud for a while, he will be played to death in the end. Did your Aunt Yu tell you the story of Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo is ......"

"As I said, Dong Fatzi is good at killing his surname, going against the sky, violating the way of heaven, and finally being lit with a sky lantern." Sun Feng hurriedly said, his eyes rolled, and he said with some doubts: "Ah Weng, he went against the sky and was punished by God, what does it have to do with whether he reads or not?" Could it be that if he had read the book, he would not have been burned to death? ”

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Sun Feng was still too young after all, and the reason Zhou Yu told him was nothing more than that set of sage rhetoric, he slapped his forehead: "Dong Fatzi has done a lot of evil things, but the King of Wei Cao Gong has also done a lot of evil things, why hasn't he been lit by a sky lantern?" ”

Sun Feng scratched his head, very dazed. Xiahou Hui was a little embarrassed, but thinking about it, it was true, if you want to talk about things, Cao Ying may not do less evil things than Dong Zhuo, but the endings of the two are thousands of miles apart, why? Isn't it because Dong Zhuo only knows how to kill people and doesn't know about conspiracy? And although Cao Ying also had some setbacks and was on the verge of despair several times, he was able to turn danger into a disaster and achieve a career in the end, because he was more resourceful than Dong Zhuo, he had invested in Sun Tzu's Art of War, was proficient in the art of Shen Han, and knew the mystery of the power of the Legalists, which was more than one level higher than Dong Zhuoquan's use of force.

However, there are many people who are deeply versed in power and conspiracy, and even surpass Cao Ying, why haven't they achieved a great cause? Most of them ended up being courtiers of people like Cao Ying? For example, Jia Xu, such as Xun You, their power and strategy are far better than Cao Ying, but they have no strength, so they can only rely on others and become sharp weapons in Cao Ying's hands.

Sun Shao saw that Xiahou Hui was silent, knowing that she probably understood what she meant. Since Jian'an has been twenty years, she has been by her side for four years, and after her own continuous corrosion, Xiahou Hui's current understanding of power and strategy has far surpassed that of contemporary people, and even surpassed that of herself, a future person, but there are not many opportunities to practice.

"Ah Yu, if you have time in the future, follow Aunt Hui to read some military books." Sun Shao seemed to say very casually: "Don't you like to fight, if you don't read military books, you can't be a good general, of course, if you read military books to death, you can only be a Zhao Kuo at most." ”

"Okay, alas-" Sun Feng clenched his little fist and cheered: "I want to read the military book, I want to read the military book." ”

"Alas-" Guan Feng shook his head: "Look at you, what kind of children have you been taught, the whole militant." ”

"What's wrong with the militants?" Sun Shao disagreed: "Do you want to teach your son to be a scholar?" I don't want to be extravagant. ”

"The husband is right, Confucianism can't govern the country." Xiahou Hui felt the same way, and persuaded with a smile: "When Emperor Xiaoyuan was the crown prince, Emperor Xiaoxuan said that the Han family has its own system, and it is supposed to be a tyrant, and it is not a pure moral religion. sighed again, whoever messes with my family will be the prince! Later, there was the intention of abolishing the prince, but it was only because the prince was born to Queen Xu that it could not be implemented. Now that I think about it, Emperor Xiaoxuan is as wise as Emperor Xiaoxuan also has the benevolence of a woman, and if the prince had been changed at that time, there would have been no later Wang disorder. ”

Guan Feng frowned, and glanced at Xiahou Hui unnaturally, why did this sound so harsh.

"Don't worry, I'm not Zhao Hao, I'm not Emperor Xiaoxuan, my son can't become a paper soldier like Zhao Kuo, nor can he become a Confucian like Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty." Sun Shao didn't notice Guan Feng's unnaturalness, raised Sun Feng with both hands, and the father and son laughed: "Son, you have to be a good man with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, do you hear?" ”

"I hear you, Father!" Sun Feng shouted loudly, and the crisp children's voice echoed in the hall: "I want to be a good man who is both civil and military—"

Zong Yu spun around in the room irritably, like a sleepy beast. Sun Shao intentionally or unintentionally separated him from Sun Deng, preventing them from having contact, and now in order to compete for those repeaters, he and Sun Deng are more energetic, but Sun Deng is the crown prince, and the rights he has are not comparable to those of a lieutenant general who joins the army. In the process of bidding, he inevitably fell behind, although there is Queen Guan Feng in support, but the situation is still not optimistic. What's more, the decisions he made now are the result of his personal speculation, and he doesn't know if he can get the support of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei in the end.

For 500,000 yuan for a repeating crossbow, it is either 200 or not at all, and it is also 200 to buy one, which completely cuts off the idea of Zong's plan to buy one and copy it back. 100 million money, equivalent to a year's net income of Shu Kingdom, such a large amount, is not at all something that Zong Pre can decide, I am afraid that even Zhuge Liang will not dare to make his own claims. What's even more terrifying is that due to Wu Shu's bidding, it has now risen to 700,000 yuan a piece.

Zong is going crazy, he knows that this is a trick by Sun Shao, but there is nothing he can do, he can not buy it, in that case, Sun Deng will rush to Changsha with two hundred repeating crossbows, and the battle situation will change unexpectedly. Although it is said that with repeating crossbows, it may not be able to influence the situation of the battle, but when the strength of Wu and Shu is not much different, the role that two hundred repeaters can play cannot be underestimated.

Zong Yu had to come up with a way to take away these repeaters and keep the price down as much as possible.

At the same time, Sun Deng was also in a hurry, due to the emergence of Shu, the original 500,000 crossbows were mentioned to 700,000, and the price rose by 40%. He was now annoyed by Xie Jing's mistake at that time, if he had agreed at that time, where would there be so many things now?

"Prince." Zhuge Ke walked in with a pot of tea, glanced at Sun Deng, and said with a smile: "The prince's kung fu in raising his surname is getting better and better. ”

Sun Deng smiled. Although he was anxious, his face was still very calm and calm, which was related to his experience over the years, since he followed Sun Shao to Liaodong that year, in just four years, he has grown up at the fastest speed. At the age of sixteen, he not only looks like an adult man physically, but also has a much more mature heart than his peers.

"Yuan Xun, you can't be a clever minister." Sun Deng made a joke, took the tea handed over by Zhuge Ke and took a sip: "Is this Yizhou tea, the taste is very thick." ”

"Yes." Zhuge Ke nodded: "This year's autumn tea has just been transported to Temu City. He raised his cup and admired the golden tea soup in the sun: "King Yue will do business, and a Yizhou tea is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. ”

Sun Deng glanced at him puzzled, full of interest. Zhuge Ke has often wandered around the city in the past two days, and it seems that he has heard a lot of useful news. Zhuge Ke glanced at him with a smile, put down the cup, and said slowly: "After the new tea is picked, most of the remaining tea leaves are the same as the aged tea, which cannot be sold at a good price. ”

"North? Still making a lot of money? Sun Deng was greatly interested and sat down. Worthless tea is transported thousands of miles to the north, and it can still make a lot of money, which can be a little incomprehensible.

Zhuge Ke seemed to have expected that Sun Deng would not be able to figure it out, and he smiled: "I was also very curious at first, and then I asked the businessmen, but they didn't want to go into details, and I am also estimated now, the specific situation is not so, and I am not sure." Zhuge Ke took a sip of tea, looking like a dragon gate array, although Sun Deng was a little puzzled by his composure, he was also interested in listening to his explanation.

"The merchants of the Yue Kingdom sold salt and iron to the north in exchange for the war horses of the Hu people, and inevitably brought some tea to drink, and somehow, the Hu people tasted these teas. Hu people said that the diet is mainly beef and mutton, the mouth is greasy, drinking tea can go fishy and greasy, a try can be inseparable, buy at a high price, so the businessmen had an idea, the tea also began to sell to the north, at first just try it, I didn't expect that in two or three years, it actually became a big deal, and now there have been merchants who specialize in selling tea. They sold the salt to the north, exchanged it for war horses, and then transported it to Qingxu, Jianye and other places to sell, and then exchanged it for goods in the Qingxu and Jianye areas, and transferred to the South China Sea and Zhuya areas. Zhuge Ke said with emotion: "It's just a matter of selling tea, I heard even more outrageous news that the merchants of Yue still sell ice and snow." ”

"Selling ice and snow?" Sun Deng was stunned for a moment, and then understood, Jiaozhou, Funan area is hot, and there are surprisingly many fruits, and in the hot summer, if you can eat some chilled fruits, it is simply a fairy life. There is no ice in Jiaozhou and Funan, but there is a lot of ice in Liaodong, which is covered by ice and snow for half a year, and ice and snow can also be stored as fresh water to solve the problem of drinking water in the sea, which is really a double win.

"yes." Zhuge Ke said with emotion: "Now the price of ice in the city is comparable to the price of gold, and the merchants who transport ice to sell have become very rich, it is said that in order to speed up, they loaded the ice early, and waited for the strongest north wind in April and May, and took the wind to blow up the sails, fast or seven or eight, slow and ten, and you can start from Liaodong to Zhuya." ”

"So fast?" Sun Deng was taken aback.

"I can't believe it." Zhuge Ke shook his head again and again, "Later, I found out that they took a sea route, not a coastal voyage, and they didn't stop at the shore at all on the way. The boat used is also a big sea ship that can resist strong winds and waves, and it is profitable to go down in one trip. For the sake of this huge profit, although ships were wrecked and people died, merchants still flocked to it. ”

"It's profitable, and businessmen dare to do anything." Sun Deng laughed and said: "Do not dock and rush in the sea, from Liaodong to Jiaozhou in seven or eight days, this is an unheard of thing, as the saying goes, wealth is moving, and it is true." ”

"And that's not all." Zhuge Ke said: "With the exciting profits, these businessmen not only dare to take risks, but also drive the manufacture of sea ships. Most of the current commercial sea vessels are built by Zhou Sheng and his family, and their shipyards are constantly rushing to build big ships......"

"As soon as the construction deadline is rushed, I'm afraid that the quality of the ship will not work, right?" The corners of Sun Deng's mouth were crooked, both a little envious and a little schadenfreude.

"Yes." Zhuge Ke nodded: "At the beginning of the year, several ships sank one after another, and the Zhou family of the Sheng family had them, and the merchants who bought the boats came to the door, of course the Zhou family of the Sheng family did not think so, they were so busy that they didn't have the heart to pay attention to these businessmen, after all, the ships in question were very small, and some money was returned." However, what happened later was a little confusing. Zhuge Ke paused, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: "The merchant was not satisfied, sued the government, and finally stabbed Prime Minister Yu Zhongxiang." Yu Zhongxiang didn't take it seriously at first, saying that these merchants had nothing to do and drove them out. Who would have thought that Gu Yu, the imperial historian, took over the matter and blocked the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, forcing Yu Zhongxiang to deal with the matter again. Only then did Yu Zhongxiang realize the seriousness of the matter and charged Sheng Zhou and the two families for compensation. Prince, do you know how much they lost in the end? ”

Sun Deng shook his head, how did he know, but looking at Zhuge Ke's appearance, he must have lost a lot.

"It's almost a hundred times the price of a ship." Zhuge Ke sneered: "Almost all of the income of the Sheng Zhou family for a year was thrown in. ”

"So much?" Sun Deng was taken aback and couldn't believe it.

"That's it." Zhuge Ke nodded affirmatively: "There is a standard for real compensation, within three years the ship was damaged due to quality problems, and the compensation was double the price of the ship, and the reason why it was so much was paid was very simple, they were found to have cut corners in order to reduce costs, shorten the construction period, and cut corners, so they not only had to pay the price of the ship, but also compensate for the losses of the merchants, and added a fine, and at the same time ordered to suspend business for a month for rectification." ”

Sun Deng glared at Zhuge Ke and didn't say anything for a while. It is normal for businesses to cut corners, as long as they can increase profits, they are very willing to work, besides, one is willing to fight, one is willing to suffer, what is there to say? The power of the Sheng family and the Zhou family is so great that it can be compared with a few small businessmen, and it seems that Yu has played a very important role in this. But it's not right, the Yu family is also a prominent family in Yuejun, and the relationship with the Zhou family and the Sheng family is not trivial, how could he be so ruthless to the Zhou and Sheng families?

Zhuge Ke answered Sun Deng's question: "If Yu Fu doesn't solve this matter, then his prime minister will do it, and if this matter is stabbed in front of His Royal Highness King Yue, I am afraid that the Zhou Sheng family is no longer a problem that can be solved by compensation, and they are likely to lose the right to build ships, which is why those businessmen dare to poke the matter to the Prime Minister's Mansion, they believe that King Yue will support them and seek justice." ”

Sun Deng was stunned for a long time, and then said: "No wonder the eldest brother fights Funan, and he never worries about heavy burdens." ”

"Yes, the Yue country rejuvenates the country with commerce, and the interests of the merchants are the first thing that the king of Yue should consider." Zhuge Ke's words changed: "Therefore, the battle of Wu Shu is not something that His Royal Highness King Yue hopes to happen. ”

"What?" Sun Deng didn't react for a while, he was still talking about the merchants of Yue just now, why did he suddenly get involved in the Wushu War? He was stunned for a moment: "It's good to fight, can't he sell repeaters?" ”

"Repeater?" Zhuge Ke sneered: "Prince, although I don't know why Yue Guo would sell such a sharp weapon, but I think that even if King Yue really wants to sell a crossbow, he doesn't want Wu Shu to fight, if Wu Shu and the two countries go to war, how much financial and material resources do they have to buy Yue Guo's goods?" ”

Sun Deng nodded suddenly, the war is together, the people's livelihood is withering, even the rich families have to reduce expenses, and most of the merchants of the Yue Kingdom sell luxury goods, which will inevitably be greatly affected. He suddenly understood that Sun Shao wanted to sell the repeater from the beginning, but also not to let the strength of the crossbow deviate, a family of two hundred, in the end it was still about the same, no one could take advantage, only Yue Guo benefited-the cost of the crossbow at most twenty or thirty thousand yuan was sold dozens of times the sky-high price.

Sun Deng looked at Zhuge Ke and smiled bitterly: "Then we can't buy it, right?" ”

Zhuge Ke nodded: "You have to buy it, but you don't have to be led by his nose, and the price doesn't have to be so high." The problem is ......" He shook his head: "Although we know this truth, but Shu may not know, they are bent on buying a repeater to overpower us, we don't buy it, they buy it, if King Yue really sells it to them, we will have to risk suffering." ”

"yes, I know it's a pit, but I have to jump into it." Sun Deng shook his head helplessly: "Yuan Xun, although your level of digging pits is high, compared with my eldest brother, it is still a lot worse." ”

Zhuge Ke touched his nose in embarrassment. He admired Sun Shao, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, he was studying Sun Shao's methods attentively, and he was waiting for the day when he competed with Sun Shao. Zhuge Ke thought for a while, and suddenly raised his head: "Prince, I want to go and see the third uncle." ”

Sun Deng hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

…… Zhuge was not in Temu City, and after Sun Shao took Funan, he spent two months demarcating an area in a place called Pheasant Stick (now Ho Chi Minh City), three hundred miles southeast of Temu City, as a place for the new college. After surveying, there was a good harbor here, nearly two hundred miles from the sea in the south, and the surrounding land was fertile, Sun Shao decided to build a larger academy here, and sent troops to garrison it to ensure the safety of the academy. Zhuge Jun, as the first batch of personnel sent by Zhuya Academy, is now guiding the construction on the construction site.

When he saw Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Jun, who was dressed in a short fight, smiled: "Yuan Xun, why are you here?" Do you want to come and see the martial arts? It's early, and I haven't seen a shadow yet. ”

"Martial arts?" Zhuge Ke said in surprise: "Do you want to build a martial arts hall here?" ”

Zhuge Jun glanced at him, pulled Zhuge Ke aside, and said softly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhuge Ke said what he meant, and finally said: "Third uncle, this matter is not only the matter of Wu State, but also the matter of Shu State. You may not know very well, Sun Shao, the prime minister of my Wu State, has passed away, the position of prime minister is undecided, the king is afraid of Jiangdong people, and my father is likely to become the next prime minister. If this matter is done properly, the position of the crown prince will be as stable as Mount Tai, and the wealth of my Zhuge Ke family in Wu will be treated. ”

Zhuge Jun glanced at him and understood. He thought more, Zhuge was no stranger to Zong Pre, knowing that he and Zhuge Liang had a very close relationship, he thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will convey your meaning to Zong Pre, and both sides will take a step back." However, this matter must not be revealed, and it is best for you to go back to Temu City immediately and not be discovered. ”

"Third uncle, don't you want to go back to Shu? Do you really think of yourself as a Vietnamese person? Zhuge Ke said with a little amusement.

"Me?" Zhuge Jun was speechless for a while, he had been studying in Zhuya Academy for too long, and he even forgot that he was a native of Shu, after all, few people in Zhuya Academy had such a family background as him, most of them were relatively simple scholars or craftsmen, Sun Shao respected them and gave them generous treatment, so they could do research and research in Zhuya Academy with peace of mind, and they didn't care about any political disputes.

"By the way, what's going on with the martial arts?" Zhuge Ke asked again.

"It's a place where the country trains officers." Zhuge Jun paused, and added: "In the future, it may become a famous general's prison and a general's production workshop." ”

"This ...... Isn't that an authority given to people? Zhuge Ke frowned, disapproving: "How can the major affairs of the soldier country be taught publicly?" ”

"Think about Wu Shu's situation first." Zhuge Jun sneered: "Can you imagine what an army that has received a systematic lesson from the beginning of the team will be like?" ”
