Chapter 273: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge

The three of them came to the private room of the Duan Family Restaurant, which was not open to the public, and Duan Yulang first talked to Bai Ling about the medicinal wine and fruit wine, after all, this was an important deal for the Duan family to play Zixiao City.

Shangguan Yu was quietly drinking, looking at Bai Ling's confident and calm appearance with appreciation, as for Duan Yulang, who was angry and jumped straight to his feet, he was directly ignored by Shangguan Yu.

"Bai Ling, you are too unparticular. is generous to others, and the shot is twenty recipes, and he doesn't take a penny! We have been working together for so long, I want to make a recipe with you, either to give you a share, or to buy it out for money, but you have a lot of silver. ”

Duan Yulang complained.

"You can choose not to be pitted by Ling'er." Shangguan Yu is very faceless.

Because Duan Yulang already knew about the two of them, Shangguan Yu did not shy away from taking Bai Ling's hand and playing with it in the palm of his hand.

Bai Ling chuckled, watching Duan Yulang eat deflated, it seemed to be one of her pleasures.

"It's just a recipe, I'll give you a few dishes another day. The previous cooperation made you a lot of money, this will say that you were cheated by me, is Duan Gongzi too hypocritical, or do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Bai Ling raised his eyebrows and said.

"Am I that kind of person? It's not like you've hurt your friendship and want to prove that you don't have no status at all. ”

Duan Yulang opened the folding fan, with a posture of 'my son is not bad for money, and he values credibility more'.

"Remember that you promised to give me the recipe, now let's get down to business."

Shangguan Yu finally raised his eyes and glanced at Duan Yulang, as if he had never existed before, which made Duan Yulang's chest feel stuffy.

"Someone is secretly buying food, the purpose is not clear for the time being, but there have been a few times intentionally or unintentionally competing with my people for the source, so far only half of the plan has been received. Not only food, but also cotton and cloth, etc., have also encountered similar problems. ”

When Duan Yulang talked about this, his eyebrows furrowed into Sichuan characters, which showed that he was distressed by this.

"Are all of these materials outside of Zixiao City?" Seeing that Shangguan Yu didn't speak, Bai Ling asked.

The Zixiao City that Bai Ling said did not refer to here, but to the fiefdom of the entire Han Palace.

"Yes, the Duan family has been cultivating dark piles, and they do these things in various places to ensure that the Zixiao Army will not have problems with grain and grass. But recently, it has not been as smooth as before, and I doubt that the hidden pile has been discovered, and there should be no big action if it is explained. ”

Duan Yulang saw that Shangguan Yu was silent, so he didn't hide it:

"With Zixiao City's current grain production, as long as there are no natural disasters, there is no need to purchase grain from other places for two years at most. The north mainly makes linen, and if you want to use cotton cloth, you can only go to the south to buy it, and cotton is only produced in the south. And the existence of the Zixiao Army is special, and some things cannot be cleared. ”

"On the issue of food, I will think of a way again, and I will discuss it with you later. Cotton and cotton, not without alternatives. ”

Bai Ling understood the problem, so under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, he said his own suggestion.

"First of all, the soldiers were made of cotton cloth for their inner clothes, and linen cloth for their outer clothes and battle armor were sufficient. This can not only reduce the limitations of buying in other places, but also improve the income of many families in the Northland, and even the status of women in the family. ”

"Secondly, cotton is a thing to keep out the cold, and the soldiers are even more unbearable from freezing. But we can use leather products instead of some parts, such as shoes with cowhide, filled with cotton sock covers, or soft wool sock covers, which will also be more durable and easy to clean. ”

"Although the cotton clothes and cotton pants have a good effect on keeping out the cold, they are too heavy, especially after the soldiers train or go to the battlefield, the sweat-soaked cotton clothes are no longer warm. If you use wool to cover the shoulders, add a down jacket, and add a piece of rabbit skin to the down pants to protect your knees, such clothes will still keep warm after washing for a few years, and they will be recycled like new, but in the long run, they will save a lot of money. ”

"Down jacket?" Shangguan Yu and Duan Yulang spoke in unison, and their eyes fell on Bai Ling's face fiery.

"Well, didn't I send you a down shoulder before? It's stuffed with duck down, and when I was resettled in the past, I had people do a lot of it, and it's already been distributed. Bai Ling explained.

"There aren't many people who can raise ducks, and if you want to collect duck down in large quantities, it's more difficult than buying cotton, right?" The light in Duan Yulang's eyes dimmed

"If you want to develop the breeding industry, in addition to duck down, someone must recycle it, and the duck must also have a good market. Didn't you just complain that I wasn't generous enough to you? How about giving you another opportunity to make money and solve the problem of military procurement? Bai Ling raised a standard commercial smile.

Duan Yulang looked at Bai Ling vigilantly, and subconsciously asked, "Say, how much profit do you plan to make this time?" ”

"Thirty percent." Bai Ling made a gesture, and in Duan Yulang's incredulous gaze, Bai Ling continued: "My thirty percent is enough to buy duck down to make a down jacket, and the matter of the leather will be handed over to you, and the excess profit is a big gift from me." ”

"I knew you wouldn't be that kind." Duan Yulang glanced at Shangguan Yu sadly, and complained: "It is said that women are extroverted, you haven't decided on a marriage yet, so you started to think about Shangguan like this, are you planning to support him?" ”

Bai Ling was slightly embarrassed, and said seriously: "I'm here for thousands of soldiers, but I don't mix other factors." You think about it yourself, if you can agree, come to me in three days to get the plan, if you don't come, you will abstain, such a good deal will be rare. ”

"Do! Of course you do! Duan Yulang nodded hurriedly.

Having cooperated with Bai Ling more than once, she said that the business that would make money was always very profitable.

In less than three years, the Duan family is not only the title of the richest man in Zixiao City, but also has a firm foothold in the capital.

"Do you have anything else to talk about? I still have to rush the plan, and I can't delay any longer. Bai Ling looked at Shangguan Yu and asked.

"I'll send Ling'er back." Shangguan Yu clenched Bai Ling's hand, he couldn't believe that with a few words, Bai Ling had solved such a big problem for him.

And the richer the people of Zixiao City, the higher the morale of the Zixiao Army, which is what Bai Ling wants to see the most.

Duan Yulang was sprinkled with dog food, his lips opened and closed, and he said something silently, waving his hand as a farewell, not wanting to see other people's affection again.

Shangguan Yu had to rush back to the barracks to deal with things, while Bai Ling was in retreat again, hiding in the space to write a plan for a new industry.

However, Bai Ling did not graduate from a professional business discipline, and the plan could only be an approximation, and the specific things had to be arranged by Duan Yulang himself.

But the little boy, since he settled here, has been forgotten, sitting on the chair by the window every day, looking at the direction of Bai Ling's house, protecting Bai Ling in his own way.

It's just that unless someone approaches, the little boy will occasionally lose his mind, and I don't know why he is so preoccupied.

Let's say that within these three days, after Master Liu was sent to the yamen, he was sentenced to the heavy sentence of beheading after the autumn on the spot.

Mrs. Liu and General Zuo's wife were naturally unrelenting, but General Zuo didn't give any face, and reprimanded Mrs. for not hiding it from him, and bluntly said that if she could survive the military law, she would definitely divorce her wife.

Mrs. Liu's mother and daughter panicked and let General Zuo go back to the barracks.

In addition to Master Liu, there were also several relatives or family members of the generals, who also committed some crimes, and they were all sent to the yamen and asked to be dealt with strictly.

For a while, Zixiao City was very lively, and the topic of conversation after tea and dinner continued.
