On December 23, the morning of the first day of Zhou Shuicheng's military battle, Qin Xiaobai continued to release a large number of public or gossip news through the logistics corps, saying that the inventory of various materials in Zhou Shuicheng's warehouse was very rich, enough to meet the needs of 50,000 troops for a month.

Whether this news is true or not, at least none of that player knows the real situation of the inventory. These news suddenly led to a rapid decline in market prices, which returned to an extremely low level.

At noon, a procurement meeting was held at the headquarters of the Chengnan Logistics Corps, where a batch of cheap stone and wood was openly purchased from all players. The sources of these two resources are very extensive, and a large amount of stone and timber can be cut down and excavated within a few miles of Zhoushui City alone, so no one will deliberately hoard and inflate the prices of these two raw materials.

This open procurement conference attracted a large number of players and businessmen to participate. Of course, most of them came to see the first large-scale purchase of the logistics corps, and they were very lively, and they rarely came to sell things.

Qin Xiaobai, drawing his sword and asking the sky, the Ruyi Wolf Army, and the Snow Demon Girl, these four military horses and Xing Sima of the logistics corps disappeared for more than ten minutes at the same time as the procurement conference was held. The specific things of the procurement conference are all done by the subordinates.

Qin Xiaobai came to the warehouse in the north of the city with them, signed and drew at the NPC official in charge of the warehouse, and received a large number of bamboo slips marked with 10,000 catties of grain or 10,000 copper coins, a total of 1 million catties of food and 500,000 copper coins. To receive these bamboo slips, four people must sign and draw them together to be valid. With these stamped bamboo slips, you can pick up the goods from the warehouse at any time.

Drawing his sword and asking Tianhao, his eyes widened as he looked at the data on the bamboo slips, and said loudly, "Little White Boss, is there so much money and food in our hands?" I dare to say that the whole Zhou Shui is the richest of us! ”

Ruyi Wolf Jun pursed his lips, unimpressed by the words of drawing his sword and asking the sky, he hoarded some supplies in the morning and wanted to resell. It's a pity that I didn't make any money, but I lost some, and said with some resentment, "What's the use of having more money and food, it's just a little flowing through our hands, and it doesn't belong to us." As long as one percent of it goes into our pockets, it can be a small amount. It's a pity. If the boss doesn't do it, let's do the small ones if we want to do it, but we can't do it."

When the Snow Demon Girl heard such a blatant complaint from the Ruyi Wolf Army, she looked at Qin Xiaobai's unresponsive expression again, stuck out her tongue, and didn't dare to say anything.

Qin Xiaobai collected all the bamboo slips.

He glanced at the three of them. For the partners of these three logistics corps, he was a little helpless.

The Ruyi Wolf Army is too selfish, and there is no distinction between public and private.

Drawing his sword and asking Tianhao is straightforward and hearty, suitable for going to the front line to charge and fight, but unfortunately he has no firm position on the issue of money, and he is easily deceived by agitation and doing foolish things.

Snow Demon Maiden. Agile and intelligent. Although it is not easy to be deceived, there is also no firm position on the issue of money.

However, these three have all been selected by the logistics corps, and many things must be done with their full cooperation and cooperation. It's not good to make a stalemate, otherwise if they don't cooperate, his one-man unit will not be able to independently undertake the logistics and transportation tasks of the entire corps.

Qin Xiaobai patted Ruyi Wolf Jun's shoulder with a smile, reassured him and said, "Okay, if you want to make money, there are many opportunities." There's no need to keep your eyes on it. The first thing we need to do is to make sure that there are no problems with the supply of 50,000 troops. Now, each of you has led troops to transport 200,000 catties of grain in the warehouse to the four main combat corps, and now they are already urging food. Send it over as soon as possible. ”

He then put 75 bamboo slips that could receive 10,000 catties of grain each. They were handed over to the Sword Asking the Sky, the Ruyi Wolf Army, and the Snow Demon Maiden, with 25 each. Of these, 20 are given to the four main legions, and the remaining 5 are to themselves. After all, the four main army corps have to eat, and the logistics corps nbsp; The three of them didn't say anything more, and immediately took orders and acted.

After Qin Xiaobai waited for the three of them to leave, he immediately met with the sheep and gave the sheep 40 bamboo slips that could receive 10,000 copper coins each.

"Go to the warehouse and get 400,000 copper coins, and buy all the cheap animal skins and herbs on the market in the shortest possible time. Tonight, 2,500 animal skin tents for camping in the wild will be made for the army to go out tomorrow and go to the North Ridge. ”

The sheep calculated that a spacious camping animal skin military tent needed 20 animal skins, and the average price per piece was about 6 copper coins, and 300,000 copper coins were needed. If you want to make these hides into military tents, you still need a lot of processing costs, and the 400,000 yuan is basically left in the blink of an eye.

This is still the market hoarding strange merchants selling animal skins, from 89 copper coins to 45 copper coins a rapid drop, the cost of cutting 40 to do, otherwise, the 400,000 copper coins will not even be enough to buy animal skins.

The sheep smiled bitterly and nodded, "Big brother, I'll do my best." ”

Qin Xiaobai also understood his helplessness, and said: "Try your best, give priority to ensuring the number of military tents, otherwise NPCs will not be able to stay in the mountains on snowy days." Let's talk about herbs depending on the situation, I still have 100,000 copper coins left here for mobile use. ”

The sheep immediately ran to carry out the task, and gathered many brothers of the sheep chamber of commerce to conduct a surprise sweep in all the shops in the market as quickly as possible to reduce the cost of purchasing animal skins.

After Qin Xiaobai dealt with these things, he returned to the procurement meeting at the headquarters of the logistics corps. This tournament for the purchase of stone and timber was mainly a pretense to attract the attention of most of the merchant players, covering the sheep's surprise purchase of animal skins and herbs.

When the raid is over, the assembly here will almost be over. By the time most of the merchant players are now wrong, it's too late. The amount of stone and wood actually purchased was very limited, but only 5,000 copper coins were sent to the four major legions for fortification materials. If these were not enough, it would have to rely on the four major armies to harvest local materials in the mountains and cut down wood and stone mines.

With Qin Xiaobai's orderly deployment, a large number of military rations were transported to the four main combat corps. The dissatisfaction of the four major legions with the delay in the arrival of military rations also quickly disappeared, and they were relieved and stepped up their recruitment; Towards evening, the number of soldiers of the four main combat legions almost reached about 10,000, and each NPC soldier carried two days' worth of military rations and was ready to go out at any time. However, the animal skin tents for camping in the wild were not ready and could not be dispatched.

The Sheep Chamber of Commerce buys a large number of hides from the market and immediately sends them to the various player tribes for processing. Sewing animal skins into sleeping military tents doesn't have much technical content, and most female NPC farmers can make them. You only need to pay a small processing fee, and with a production fee of 2 copper coins per tent, a large number of player tribes rush to do it.

That night, 2,500 military tents were made and sent overnight to the barracks of the four main legions, so that they could leave on time the next morning.

Most of the preliminary logistics work is prepared.

The rest is the little red medicine for healing, there are not many little red pills on the market to restore health, most of them are herbs. Because each player tribe has almost 12 wizards, they usually produce their own little red medicine and can be self-sufficient.

There are also a small number of players who have set up herbal workshops that specialize in the production of small red medicine, but the number of these workshops is not large and very scattered. Therefore, it is very difficult to purchase Xiaohong Yao in large quantities in the market.

In order to solve this problem, Qin Xiaobai held a special meeting of herbal medicine workshop owners at the headquarters of the logistics corps, invited all herbal medicine workshop owners to participate, and directly proposed to each herbal medicine workshop owner a plan to purchase small red medicine and Chinese red medicine in batches, and the first batch would spend at least 100,000 copper coins to purchase red medicine. This is only the first procurement, and it will continue to be procured if the troops need it.

A batch of herbs purchased by sheep is also sent to various herbal medicine workshops for processing, and a certain processing fee is paid.

The owners of the players and workshops were ecstatic, and they almost didn't pick up Qin Xiaobai and cheered loudly. "yes, that's great, Boss White!" "Let's expand production as soon as we go back and produce the red medicine that the army needs."

These workshop owners became the first or only beneficiaries of this arms purchase. The purchase of a large number of red medicines directly allowed them to obtain a lot of profits, and with money, their herbal medicine workshops could expand rapidly.

Qin Xiaobai was frightened into a cold sweat by their enthusiasm.

The sheep sneaked into the headquarters of the logistics corps and quietly came to find Qin Xiaobai. When he saw the jubilant players, he was a little puzzled, "Big brother, why did you invite these players and merchants?" ”

Qin Xiaobai said: "These are not businessmen, to be precise, they should be workshop owners." I only suppress the businessmen who drive up prices. I would welcome those who set up their own workshops to produce their own goods, and of course I would like to support them. By the way, what are you sneaking around looking for me? ”

The sheep remembered the purpose of his coming here, and hurriedly took out a piece of yellow ore from his arms, with a happy look on his eyebrows, "Big brother, a player has found tin ore in the mountains, and he knows that we are buying it at a high price, so he specially sent a piece over!" I just got it. ”
