Chapter 243: Apprenticeship
The fireworks were almost over, things were settled, and the hot air balloons began to land.
Zhen Mi said a lot of things, not because he hated his father and brother's cold-bloodedness, but because he had the blood of the Zhen family, he couldn't really let the Zhen family go. She is smart, Lu Chen arranged for her father and brother to go on a hot air balloon with her to watch fireworks, although she didn't say it explicitly, but naturally asked her to deal with this matter. She knew that although Lu Chen disdained the Zhen family's father and son's bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes, the others in Yanmen were different, and the Zhen family had to pay enough chips to gain the recognition of others, or atonement. After all, my father and brother once designed to murder the lord of Yanmen, which is a big crime.
got off the hot air balloon, Zhen Mi's mother's family said goodbye to the male owner Yan's family, Zhen Mi sent the three mothers back to the county guard's mansion, and then took Wuzhu back to Lu Chen's courtyard. Lu Qi didn't leave the pavilion, she lived in the county guard's mansion, although she had the key to Zhao Yun's house, but she was embarrassed to live in it after all, not that she was embarrassed, but that Brother Zilong was particularly prone to blushing. Lu Qi didn't ask Zhen Mi for a maid this time, she hated this younger brother and sister so much, but she pulled Wuzhu to ask for a Persian woman, Wuzhu looked at her servants as heavily as cattle and sheep, of course she wouldn't agree, Lu Qi didn't go.
On the way back to the small courtyard, Wuzhu looked at Zhen Mi jealously dressed as a bride, and was annoyed that Lu Chen always didn't come to her room to sleep, could it be that she had too few cattle and sheep? Today she saw that the Zhen family is really rich, although they don't raise cattle and sheep, but their money and jewelry can buy tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, gradually, she began to feel inferior, and at the same time, she was more motivated.
Wuzhu bit her lip a few times, and finally mustered up the courage to ask Zhen Mi to return ten sheep. That was the gift she gave Zhen Mi today. The gift sent out is very embarrassing for the Han people, but it is even more of a shame for the Huns. However, Wuzhu can't care so much anymore, and she has to fight for her position.
Zhen Mi was puzzled at first, where did she have any sheep, but later she realized that it was a gift, so she smiled and gave it to Wuzhu. In addition, he had to spend money to buy a hundred sheep for Wuzhu to raise.
Wuzhu was so excited that she hugged Zhen Mi and kissed her. The eyes were teol-eyed.
Zhen Mi smiled kindly. Vicious, barbarian woman, you can raise sheep for the rest of your life, don't come to fight with me for a husband! And. Even if your husband marries you. I'm happy to support you. Because your good is very obvious - stupid. It's better than that Persian woman, Zhen Mi has a hunch that her biggest enemy is definitely not Wuzhu, who seems to be very favored. It's the Persian woman who itches when the husband sees her, and the woman is very seductive, and I heard that Su Daji of Shang is from the west, where fox spirits are produced.
Back in the small courtyard, Lu Chen had already returned, but he had brought back a large number of guests, who were discussing arms sales in the front hall. Zhen Mi didn't dare to disturb and drove Wuzhu back to the backyard.
In the front hall, the lights are brilliant.
After three rounds of drinking, the hypocritical and unnutritious compliments of the family have been said hundreds of times, and gradually get to the point.
Lu Chen also doesn't plan to sell at a high price, it is serious to have a long stream, these families almost all represent the princes of all walks of life, and doing arms business with them means dealing with the princes of the world. Even, even Yuan Tan, who was still in a cold sweat just now, was here, Lu Chen didn't embarrass him, and specifically told him that he knew that he was framed by his younger brother Yuan Xi, so Lu Chen didn't mind, and after that, he secretly lit a fire, provoking Yuan Tan to kill Yuan Xi and then quickly, of course, this means that Yuan Tan wants to find a way to arm his army, and he will turn the corner to find Lu Chen to buy arms, and his momentum is greater than everyone else.
This time, Lu Chen prepared to sell more than ten kinds of goods, such as mines, grenades, artillery shells, stone throwers, fierce fire oil, coal, cement, stirrups, horseshoes, wool ni, etc. More than half of them are munitions, among them, cement and coal are not munitions and ordnance, but they are also closely related to the military, cement can be used to build roads and walls, and can be used for attack and defense, not to mention coal, which can be burned as artillery shells, and can be used for fire attack, Lu Chen has already demonstrated it on the spot tonight. Wool Ni is the most special, it looks similar to linen silk, and it is far less delicate than silk, but it is warm and large, so the family is also willing to buy it. In fact, they didn't know that Lu Chen's attention to munitions and cement was far inferior to that of Wool Ni, so to speak, Wool Ni was his next big move--control of the grassland.
Gossip is not mentioned, and Lu Chen has now explained to the family the types and quantities of arms sales, and the price has also been set. In his way, the type, quantity, and price of arms sold are all determined by Yanmen, and others do not interfere with the right, but the families have the right not to buy them. It's just that Lu Chen sells very little in quantity, and modestly says that there is a shortage of manpower and scarce production, but he doesn't sell technology, only sells products, who else can not buy it? Even if you want to counterfeit and copy, then you have to buy and write products and go back to research, right? Now, they don't even have the qualifications to research, it's a test, and they first understand Yanmen's products before they talk about anything else.
So, very quickly, the few products were sold out.
The technology of stirrups and horseshoes has actually been spread, but the families still bought it, just to make a good impression in front of Lu Chen, otherwise, what if they don't sell it to you next time? In fact, Lu Chen's sale of stirrups and horseshoes was not to buy and sell, but to show Yanmen's unique iron-smelting technology.
Lu Chen didn't take out such a thing as a steam engine, not because he didn't want to sell it, but because it hadn't reached the point where he could sell it at all. First of all, he had to organize his manpower to develop a steam engine that could be used in mines and ships, so that there would be a market, and without practical and outstanding results, then no matter how advanced the technology was, it would only be a trick.
Lu Chen sells things very fairly, almost according to the head, no matter what the strength of the princes represented by that family is, it is equally divided. Therefore, soon, the representatives of the small princes left, leaving three families, namely Lu Su Sun Quan, Yuan Tan, and Guo Jia.
The first to make trouble was Yuan Tan, he thought that Lu Chen sold too little to him, he was willing to add money, buy more, preferably for a long time, he carefully calculated, the arms he bought this time were not enough for Lu Chen to fight the Xianbei people today. He said that it doesn't matter if it's expensive to add money, if he has money, he just wants to sell as much as he wants.
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and said that your father fought with me back then, and now your brother has sent troops to fight me, even if I didn't kill you, I would be worthy of you, and if I provoked it, Lao Tzu sold it to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Tan shut up and left.
Guo Jia also said less, but knowing that the Lu family had a grudge against Cao Cao, he turned around and said that he hoped that Lu Chen would sell him more in the private relationship between the two.
Lu Chen also smiled and said to Guo Jia, for the sake of our personal feelings, can you come to Yanmen to help me?
Guo Jia gave up and left.
Lu Su didn't say anything, but Sun Quan stood up.
Before he could speak, Lu Chen said, you Jiangdong and I have no enmity, but I really don't need to sell too much to you, there are very few people who can cross the river and fight you Jiangdong, and I can't do it. Let's wait a while, I'll perfect the steam engine and sell it to you.
As a result, Xiao Sun Quan shook his head and said fiercely: "Xiao Junhou, I want to worship you as a teacher." (To be continued......)
