Chapter 50: Calculating Jia Xu
Liu Ze smiled slightly: "Everything is pre-planned, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, if you don't try it yourself, how can you give up lightly." ā
Mr. Jia coughed dryly twice and said: "Shopkeeper Liu's young hero, dare to think and act, and admire below, but first declare in the next that only do translation, and the rest of the things should not be." As for whether you can find a bloody BMW, it all depends on the will of God, and I don't make any guarantees. ā
Liu Ze put the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "This is natural, I can't find sweat and blood, I can only blame it on the fact that the next fortune has not arrived, and I have nothing to do with Mr." He took a dip in the ink and was about to write a note, but Fang Side didn't know the name of Mr. Jia.
"I haven't asked the gentleman for a name yet."
"Under the surname Jia, a single name is a word." Mr. Jia said leisurely.
Liu Ze's heart was shocked, he almost threw away the brush, and blurted out: "It turned out to be Mr. Jia Wenhe!" ā
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why does Shopkeeper Liu know Jia's words?" ā
Liu Ze felt a little out of shape, and calmed down his excited heart a little.
"Mr. Wenhe is a native of Wuwei, when he passed through Wuwei in the next day, he heard a lot of rumors about Mr., the most vivid Mr. was captured by the Di people, and falsely claimed to be the grandson of the Taiwei Duan Ying and scared the Di people not to dare to murder and returned Mr. This Mr. is both improvisable and intelligent, and it has been passed down as a good story in Hexi."
Jia Xu's face was slightly red, and he said: "The situation is compelling, and I have no choice but to pretend to be an official, and I am ashamed and ashamed." ā
Jia Xu, with his words and words, is full of intrigues, and he has no last resort, and some people evaluate him as "the first poisoner of the Three Kingdoms". After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Yu and Guo Yan were so frightened that they were ready to flee for their lives, and it was Jia Xu who persuaded them to counterattack Chang'an, so that Wang Yun was later killed, Li Guo killed each other, and caused chaos in the world because of Jia Xu's words. Later, as Zhang Xiu's strategist, he planned to defeat Cao Cao twice, but at the juncture of the Battle of Guandu, he decisively persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao. Guandu broke Yuan Shao and Tongguan defeated Ma Chao, all of which had Jia Xu's scheme. He is more knowledgeable and wise, and believes that Cao Pi will take over Cao Cao's position and help him with all his might, after Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, he was awarded the title of Taiwei and the Marquis of Wei Shou with merit, and he was named the Marquis of Su at the age of seventy-seven. Jia Xu can judge the situation in the troubled times, left and right, none of the people he assisted in the first half of his life had a good end, but he was able to protect himself and die well, he really has great wisdom, and it is not too much to call him the first smart person in the Three Kingdoms. In terms of stratagem alone, there are only a few people such as Zhuge Sima and Liao Liao who can be above it.
Liu Ze unexpectedly met Jia Xu here, it was really "unexpected", it seems that this is the time when Jia Xu resigned and returned to his hometown, and he has not yet joined the Guanlong Group. Liu Ze knows very well that if he misses this village, there will be no such shop, but although Jia Xu is down, as a filial piety, he prides himself on being a celebrity, and the arrogance in his bones still exists, how can he stoop to himself as a businessman. Liu Ze has been in the world for more than ten years, and he knows that it is difficult to recruit scholars, let alone celebrities, even if they are now employed by businessmen, they don't look down on businessmen at all. Ordinary methods such as heavy money temptation and courtesy are unlikely to be effective, and if they are forced, they will only backfire. Liu Ze's brain turned quickly, it seems that I have to think about it, how can I calculate this smartest person in the world.
Liu Ze pretended to groan and said, "I just don't know how much time this trip will take?" If it is delayed for a long time, it will not miss Mr. Wenhe. ā
"One trip to one trip, or three or two months, or a year and a half, and no time limit, this trip is such a rule, if the shopkeeper Liu has not turned back for three or five years, he has to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, but the shopkeeper Liu has to prepare wine and food, no wine and no food is not good."
After that, Jia Xu laughed. In his opinion, businessmen operate, since time for profit, time is money, efficiency is life, don't say three or five years, even three or five months businessmen can't survive, and when Liu Ze goes to the green ridge to turn around, he can't find sweat and blood, he must be disheartened, and he will go back to the Central Plains early, and then the hundred taels of gold will not be easily earned.
Liu Ze pretended to mutter: "Even so, it is difficult to feel at ease in the next, so let's take a period of one year, pay Mr. one hundred taels of gold in the next, and if you fail to turn around after one year, you will pay Mr. one hundred taels of gold, even if it is less than one year, it will be calculated as one year, I don't know what Mr. wants?" ā
It seems that Jia Xu is also in a hurry to use this money, and he is busy responding: "Okay, good, just according to the words of the shopkeeper Liu." ā
Liu Ze smiled slightly, put down the pen and put it down, and said: "Since it is a contract, once it is signed, it must be obeyed. ā
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu is a shrewd businessman, rest assured, how can Jia make a promise of a thousand gold, how can he regret it, but I am afraid that Shopkeeper Liu will regret his contract." ā
"How about such a note that the two parties cannot be reversed after signing the contract, and if they breach the contract, they should be compensated by 10,000 times?"
Jia Xu smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that although this Liu Ze is young, he has a strong businessman's spirit, and he is on guard everywhere, for fear that he will not be able to run away, if he is not at home, he will not be able to open the pot, otherwise he will not be too lazy to deal with these businessmen.
"Shopkeeper Liu's words are very good, as long as Shopkeeper Liu doesn't miss the appointment."
Liu Ze had an imperceptible smile on his face, and he did not hesitate at the moment, and wrote hard: Liu Zecheng hired Jia Xu as the interpreter, the starting date is the day when the west leaves Yangguan, and the termination date is the time when he returns to Yangguan, and there is no time limit; Liu Ze paid Jia Xu a reward of 100 taels of gold, and if there is more than one year, an additional 100 taels of gold will be paid; The area to be traveled is determined by Liu Ze, and Jia Xu should do his best to complete his mission; Once this contract is signed, both parties must abide by it, and no remorse, if there is a breach of the contract, the compensation should be 10,000 times.
At that moment, Liu Ze signed and signed on the two pieces of silk and handed them to Jia Xu. Jia Xu took a closer look at them one by one, this agreement was also written very standardly, and the content was completely consistent with the discussion between the two parties, except for the 10,000 times compensation, there were no other problems, so he signed and drew the pledge.
Liu Ze stuffed a contract belonging to himself into his arms, took out a hundred taels of gold and handed it to Jia Xu, the pride in his heart, Jia Xu, let you be smart in your life, I'm afraid you won't see the mystery of this agreement in your dreams, probably you won't be able to jump out of this contract in this life.
Jia Xu silently took the gold, but his heart was strangely gloomy, thinking that he was born filial piety and was also an official in the court, but he accidentally offended the powerful, lost his official duties, and was idle at home, just because the five buckets of rice refused to bend his waist, but now he has fallen into the realm of being driven by businessmen. Over there, Liu Ze had already settled the wine money with the store, along with the money Jia Xu owed before, seeing that he was so generous, Jia Xu felt a little better, so he asked the store to hand over one hundred taels of gold to his wife, turned around and left with Liu Ze.
The next day, Liu Ze led a caravan out of Yangguan, and there was an interpreter named Jia Xu and several indigenous guides and dozens of camels in the convoy. Walking in the desert, you can't do without camels, Liu Ze listened to Jia Xu's advice and specially purchased dozens of camels to load supplies. Jia Xu also built yƬ Liu Ze to leave all the carts in Yangguan and wait until he returned to take them, and when he traveled in the desert, those carts would be stuck in the sand pit and could not move. Liu Ze just smiled and said nothing, and still took the cart on the road.
After traveling dozens of miles out of the customs, Liu Ze ordered the mezzanine of the cart to be opened and the weapons and armor hidden in the mezzanine were taken out.
These 300 sets of armor were all high-quality chain mail, and they were specially distributed to the forbidden army. Last winter, a quartermaster in charge of the forbidden Yulin Army wanted to buy a set of blue and white porcelain as a gift to his boss, but a set of blue and white porcelain was extremely expensive, and they could afford it for these petty officials of 200 stones. Jian Yong didn't dare to call the shots, and reported to Liu Ze, Liu Ze was overjoyed, and after some bargaining, he exchanged four sets of blue and white porcelain for three hundred brand-new armors, which were originally going to be sent to Phoenix Valley, but he didn't expect this to come in handy.
Immediately the armor was handed out, one for each person. As for the weapons, they were all brought from Phoenix Valley by Pan Feng and Wu Anguo, and each cavalry was equipped with a longbow with an effective range of 350 to 450 paces, a compound bow with an effective range of 250 to 350 steps, two pots of arrows and 50 arrows each, a spear, and two sabers. That saber is the lancet that Liu Ze just designed last year, and now it is mass-produced and equipped with troops.
