Chapter 944: Children of the Lu Family
Busy farming, such as a sickle for picking brown, a hoe for ploughing the ground, and an iron plough for cattle and horses, the Yangshan Islands have no time to refine themselves, so they can only purchase. The purchase is big, thousands at a time, ordinary merchants can't come, and the stewards under Ding Zuodong can only go around to the Chamber of Commerce to order and transfer.
I didn't expect the price of this thing to rise, and the wholesale price of a brown scythe can actually go up to 100 Wen!
That is, two pieces of broken wood, and then a blade in the middle, under normal circumstances, it is not enough to use forty. Yang Shanren went to buy, and he couldn't press eighty wen to talk about it.
was so angry that Ding Zuodong ordered people to go door-to-door in Blade Harbor and villages and towns to buy old sickles. Don't ask for much new, just use it.
Needless to say, other farm tools are expensive to buy from anyone.
The problem is that the large and small merchant groups of Bailie and Blade Harbor sell at this price, and Yangshan people sometimes find this subway craftsman shop to order, and only negotiate the price the day before, and the next day people come to refund the order and say that they will not sell.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, Ding Zuodong asked the businessman privately, and the other party made it clear that "the upper demand is to raise the selling price."
He didn't know who it was.
In addition, Qingguo and Bailie are transporting supplies to Muguo, and cattle, horses, and mules are all capacity. Powerful livestock itself is very expensive, and the volume of official purchases has risen sharply, and the price has of course gone up.
Until now, there has been a shortage of capacity in the Yangshan Islands.
Ding Zuodong said again: "According to your request, I secretly contacted Lu Laosan Lu Zhenlian to buy livestock and boots, and contacted Lu Lao Liulu Zhenlian to buy stones and grain, and sure enough, the price can go down a lot." ”
These two are Lu Zhensheng's cousins, and they are also clan elders, although they are quite young.
The Lu family is the lord of Bailie, and it is not only Lu Zhensheng's father and son who are privileged.
But whoever is surnamed Lu has some industries under his hands, and whether they make money or not is another matter.
The lord asked the Chamber of Commerce to raise the price uniformly, how dare ordinary businessmen not? The only people who have the ability to dig a hole in this kind of front are the Lu family's own people.
Speaking of which, Ding Zuodong went out and came in with a brocade box:
"This is a gift from Lu Laosan."
Inside the box is a pair of dark brown fast boots, with a beveled edge of gilt wire inlaid with malachite, which has a low-luxury beauty.
This boot is a magic weapon, not only difficult to invade by fire and water, but also has its own glimpse of magical powers, and the person who wears it runs like a gust of wind, very light.
He Lingchuan put a set on his feet, and the boots automatically fitted. Two steps and exceptionally comfortable.
"Good stuff." It's not necessarily expensive, but it's very practical, "Lu Laosan is really a caring person." ”
"We withdrew orders from other chambers of commerce, bought 400 horses of cattle from him, and ordered more than 1,000 pairs of combat boots. Lu Lao may not have made such a big deal for three and a half years, so he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut and came to meet me in person. Ding Zuodong said with a smile, "If you want me to say, Lu Laosan is better than Lu Zhensheng, but he is suppressed in the family and has no chance." ”
He Lingchuan remembered what Steward Feng said about the "old and broken" house of Lu Laosan's family, and the weasel who jumped over the wellhead at night to play scary......
and the complaints of Lu Laosan and his wife.
Although it is known that the main family may be dealing with the Yangshan Islands, no one can refuse the benefits of sending it to the door, and they can't refuse the silver spent in vain, especially the Lu San family, who is so short of money.
He smiled: "It seems that Tao Ran's news is very accurate. Lu Zhensheng and his son grasped the best property in their own hands, and only gave some leftovers to the uncles and cousins. The clansmen want to live better, and they must rely on the deer's snort. ”
Rongshan native Tao Ran latent Lu Zhensheng's home to inquire about the news, often send messages here.
He Lingchuan believed that the Lu family must have done the same to the Yangshan Islands, and the two sides were even.
"It's just that Lu Lao San and Lu Lao Liu have their own industries, and sometimes Lu Zhensheng's interests are moved, and it is unpleasant." He Lingchuan's eyes moved slightly, "Since that's the case, I'll add another fire to them." Lao Ding, you send me two invitations, and I invite these two old deer to have dinner in Qianbin Building. ”
He looked for these two deer family elders, not just to buy things and save some money. "It's also time to reach out to other deer families. By the way, I heard that Lu Lao Liu's sons and daughters are very competitive? ”
"Yes, but it's not Lu Lao Liu's training, but the old man Miao An personally brought it out, and it is said that the cultivation of martial arts is good."
He Lingchuan nodded. If you want to consolidate your territory and strength, marriage is one of the best ways. As an ancient family that has been inherited for many years, the Lu family is well versed in it.
"Miao An led his troops to guard the east of Bailie all the year round, and was seriously injured in the battle with Yaguo last year, and Bailie's defense line was broken, so he could only pay compensation and sue for peace. However, Lu Laoliu's daughter, that is, Miao An's granddaughter Lu Feiyan, went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of fifteen, and her results were good after several battles. Lu Lao Liu whistled with me, last year Lu Feiyan served as the left forward in the Miao An army, after Miao An was injured, she covered the withdrawal of the main force quite well, but the army did not win the battle, so it could not be exaggerated. ”
"That's a bit of a skill." He Lingchuan himself also led his troops to fight, knowing that retreat is more difficult to control than attacking, at that time, his own side was defeated, the army's morale was shaken, no one had the heart to fight, and he accidentally broke and fled, which is the so-called "defeat is like a mountain".
In this case, those who cover the main force and those who leave the broken ones must have two brushes.
"It is said that the name 'Feiyan' was changed by herself." Ding Zuodong continued, "As for Lu Qingbang, the son of Lu Lao Liu, he traveled to Lingxu City earlier and only returned to Bailie this year. ”
"I'll just say the name sounds familiar." He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "It seems that I have seen and heard it before." ”
The mirror in his arms immediately reminded: "Lingxu City!" You've seen him in Lingxu City! ”
Where else could He Lingchuan have seen Lu Qingbang? Lingxu City, of course.
During that time, he drank with students from all over the world who studied Lingxu Taixue, no, he was talking loudly, and he made some friends. Although Lu Qingbang was not among his friends, he remembered the name, and he also remembered that Lu Qingbang had toasted him with other students. As soon as Ding Zuodong mentioned it, he was on the right number.
Even the reason why Lu Qingbang finished his studies and returned to Bailie, He Lingchuan can guess everything:
Like the other students, they were affected by the Spirit Void Incident launched by Fang Canran.
The fate of the individual is not worth mentioning in the face of the times.
"There are still a few talents in the old Lu family's generation, not as weak as I imagined, not bad."
"It's a pity that they were all overshadowed by Lu Qinglin's light." Ding Zuodong said with a smile, "Lu Lao Liu is proud of his children, but he is still a little unconvinced, although he doesn't show it, but I can detect it." ”
It was his father-in-law who defended the country in Bailie, and it was his sons and daughters who were born and died, but Lu Zhensheng is now his own family, and the best resources and fame of the whole clan were given to Lu Zhensheng's second son, and Lu Qinglin was in the Mu country.
