Chapter 77: Profit-seeking

Wulu has been tossing glass for a while, and the craftsmen around him are becoming more and more familiar with the whole process.

Yesterday, they got Bai Zhong's suggestion, they switched to using coal to heat and melt sand, and made some technical adjustments, and began to make them overnight, and finally made the first complete piece of glass just now.

Wu Lu was overjoyed, his efforts and efforts were not in vain, and he could really succeed.

With these glasses, not to mention giving Bai Zhong two years of free meat and grain, he thinks he will still make money for two more years.

Bai Zhong took the glass and looked at it for a while, it was not very good, there were some impurities in it, and it looked slightly yellow on the surface, but in terms of their technology, it was already a big breakthrough.

"Not bad!"

"Wu Zhuangshi finally got his wish, and it proves that I didn't lie to you, right?"

Bai Zhong smiled and returned the glass.

Wu Lu carefully retracted, for fear that he would accidentally break it, and said with a smile: "I have never doubted General Bai, since the glass has been successfully made, then I have a proposal to talk to General Bai." ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Wu Zhuangshi, please speak." ”

"Please ask General Bai to enter the palace and tell the king, I won't charge any money for those coal and iron ore, as well as the craftsmen who make knives."

"The war horse will be reduced by another 500 yuan, and it will be 5,000 yuan a horse in the future."

"It's as if I am thanking General Bai again and the king for his support to me."

Wu Lu felt that he would not lose money, and began to think about how to maximize the benefits.

The greatest benefit, of course, is to get Yingzheng's approval.

In the future, if he wants to sell glass, it is indispensable to deal with various officials, if his fame can be mentioned again, and he will be recognized by Yingzheng, it will be much more convenient to do other things, and there will be a lot less obstacles to doing business or something.

Pay a little benefit now, and you can reap greater benefits later.

Small wealth does not come out, and big wealth does not enter.

For example, the later widow Qing gave Yingzheng a lot of dansha and mercury, and even contributed money to Yingzheng to repair the Great Wall and so on.

These are the considerations of their businessmen.

After thinking for a while, Wu Lu changed his words and said: "No, the war horse is still too expensive, I will reduce it to two thousand yuan a horse, and the king will need a war horse in the future, I will be at this price, please go back and help me mention it by the way." ”

From the initial six thousand yuan, he took the initiative to reduce the price to two thousand yuan, which made Bai Zhong feel that he had heard it wrong.

It's a broken bone.

But his eyes fell on the glass in Wu Lu's hand, Bai Zhong suddenly realized, probably understood Wu Lu's careful thoughts, and asked, "Wu Zhuang is doing this, is he serious?" ”

Wu Lu affirmed: "Of course it's true, I'm really for Daqin." ”

Whether he was really for Daqin, Bai Zhong was skeptical, but he didn't say through his thoughts, and said: "Then thank you for the generosity of Wu Zhuangshi, I plan to enter the palace tomorrow to see the king, and then help Wu Zhuangshi mention it." ”

"It's me who thanks General Bai!"

Wu Lu laughed.

The two returned to the ranch.

And he was to give a feast and bring some jewels.

At the same time, he was thinking that thanks to Zhao Gao's recommendation at that time, this white general was more reliable than anyone else, so he found time to go to Xianyang and thank Zhao Gaocai.

"I still have to train when I go back, and I will be exempted from banquet and drinking."

"Wu Zhuangshi still wants to cooperate with me in the future, it's best not to send money to harm me."

"Say goodbye first!"

Bai Zhong's courtesy to him was all rejected.

If it is related to the interests of the army, such as iron ore does not charge money, etc., Bai Zhong can accept it, but the property sent privately must be refused, and letting Lan'er accept those jewelry is already the limit.

Of course, he also wants to be rich, and no one is averse to money.

But Bai Zhong thought about it, the way he got the money could only be related to Yingzheng, and the source was above board, such as rewards for military merits, etc., and nothing else could be asked for, so as to avoid any problems in the future.

Walking out of the Tibetan Army Valley Ranch, Bai Zhong rode his horse back to the Lantian camp.

But halfway through, he took out a saddle and stirrups, fastened them to the horse's back, and then took out the bow and crossbow given by the system, and hung it next to the saddle.

Back at Lantian Daying, Bai Zhong went directly to see Wang Qian.

"General Bai, let me give you a suggestion, in the future, you should have less contact with Wulu."

Wang Jian saw him coming, and said seriously: "First of all, the status of businessmen is not high, and it will affect you in the future, and secondly, I have a lot of dealings with businessmen, and you are still young, I am worried that you will not be able to stand the temptation and get something you shouldn't want from Wu Lu, and our Qin Law is still very heavy on the crime of accepting bribes." ”

The number of times I have interacted with Wulu is really that it will attract the attention of others.

Bai Zhong thought of what Zhao Gao said at the beginning, if he wanted to open his connections in Luoyang, he could start with businessmen, but Wang Jian reminded him to do less with businessmen.

He thought for a moment and decided that what they said made sense.

Zhao Gao is based on financial interests, etc., to have dealings with Wulu, and will not leave any handles, as much as possible to get benefits from Wulu, and not involved in political affairs.

Wang Jian's reminder is that he is worried about the damage to Bai Zhong's reputation and long-term development.

Bai Zhong said: "Thank you for the general's reminder, but I went to see Wulu, not for personal matters, but for the Iron Eagle Warriors, and for the army of Great Qin, does the general still remember that I want to build a knife?" ”

Wang Jian understood that he also had his own considerations, so he put aside this worry for the time being, and said, "Of course I remember." ”

The knife was sharp and hard, and Wang Jian was impressed.

"Wu Lu said, he didn't charge any money for the iron ore used to build weapons, and gave it to us."

"There is another thing, the Iron Eagle Ruishi back then could fight the cavalry of the Zhao State and the Hun cavalry when he got on the horse, and he could fight the Wei warriors when he got off the horse."

"I want a batch of war horses to train the riding skills of the Iron Eagle Warriors, and when I destroy Zhao in the future, I will inevitably have to fight against the cavalry of the Zhao State, and I am ready to use the Iron Eagle Warriors to fight against Li Mu's cavalry."

"So I went to Wulu to buy a horse, and he just told me that a war horse will be sold to us for two thousand yuan, and it will be at this price in the future."

Bai Zhong briefly said what had just happened.

Hear that a horse is so cheap for two thousand.

Wang Jian asked excitedly, "General Bai, are you serious?" ”

Two thousand dollars for a war horse, the price is two-thirds cheaper than the previous one.

At the previous price of buying one war horse, you can now buy three, which greatly saves the cost of cavalry.

Bai Zhong said: "It's true. ”

He briefly said the reason for the glaze.

Wang Jian said: "I thought that Wulu was really for Daqin, but it turned out that he just wanted to get more benefits." ”

"Most businessmen are like this, and when they see benefits, they will flock to them."

Bai Zhong said lightly: "There are not many businessmen who are really for Great Qin, we can give him a little benefit by using Wulu now, and we must control this person in time in the future, otherwise I am worried that he will betray our Great Qin for other interests." ”

Wang Jian clapped his hands and said, "General Bai is reasonable, it seems that the reminder I just gave is superfluous. ”

He didn't expect that Bai Zhong was not very old, but he could see these things so thoroughly.

"General Bai, what is on this horseback?"

At this time, Wang Ben came from the school yard and happened to find Bai Zhong's saddle.

Hearing this, Wang Jian also looked at the horse's back and exclaimed: "General Bai, your saddle pad is very special, bigger than ours." ”
