At this time, the boss of the South Vietnamese caravan Liang came, with a medium-to-low stature, about 1.7 meters, a little fat, and in his thirties.

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't speak, he gave a salute first: "The villain has seen Wen Hou." ”

This is an authentic northern dialect, and it seems that the north is not less run.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Liang, fortunately, fortunately, this is a long way, how did you come here?"

The villain waited for a building boat, went all the way north from Nanyue, arrived at the port of Donglai County, and landed, and then came along the official road. There is a little bit of a small gift here, and please smile at it. ”

Boss Liang was holding a box of beautifully made agarwood, and when he opened it, there were eight pearls larger than walnuts.

Lu Bu also politely let his subordinates accept it, and waved his hand and asked the soldiers to move a box of two pots from behind, a total of eight bottles.

"This is a return gift from the general, not a tribute."

Boss Liang was flattered, the status of a businessman was very low in these years, and Lu Bu, as a stabbing history, could give him a gift in return, what an honor.

This time, a total of eight stallions, ninety-two mares, and more than a dozen trained geldings were transported.

These horses are shorter than prairie horses, and they weigh a lot less, about 300 pounds, which is only suitable for children and lighter adults.

"Diao Chan, give you a pony so that you can go to the workshop."

"Thank you, husband, but the concubine can ride a big horse, so there's no need for this. If you don't give a few of my horses to the workshop supervisors, they also have a hard time getting to and from work, and they all have to walk. ”

Diao Chan doesn't look at his good figure, he is actually a ruthless person, his swordsmanship is very good, and he can ride a horse and shoot arrows.

"Okay, then allocate five horses to your brewery for office use."

"Ling'er, how many horses do you want?"

Ling'er clenched her little fist: "My female soldier and I just happened to ride this horse, and my daughter is going to form a battalion of dwarf horse cavalry." ”

"Okay, Ling'er listens to the order, and the five horses belong to your department, but you have to feed the horses, brush the horses, and take care of the horses yourself, can you do it?"

"Yes."

Originally, Lu Bu planned to develop Guilin's ponies in the north, which were used for women and children to ride.

But the northerners can accept the prairie ponies, but they can't accept the shorter southern ponies, and they are just reduced to the pets of the children of rich and noble families. And due to the small number of populations, it has not been developed for a long time, which has to be said to be a failed introduction.

The shopkeeper Chen, the head of the firm, handed over the payment for the pony, and paid a lot of transportation costs, which were three times more expensive than the price of the horse itself.

Boss Liang was relieved when the money arrived, rumors in the rivers and lakes that Lu Bu was brutal and unkind, and he liked to kill people at every turn, but it was better to see it than to hear it, and Lu Bu didn't seem to kill people at every turn.

The caravan in Guilin County made a lot of deals with the caravan in Jinan County, and the southerners did not like the spirits of the north, but they liked the small iron pots produced by the Limin Iron Works.

However, Boss Liang has his thoughts: "I don't know if I can add three earrings to the small pot, so that it is easy to hang up." ”

Shopkeeper Chen was a little puzzled: "Isn't it very good now, it's very convenient to put it on the stove." ”

Boss Liang shook his head: "In our neighborhood, people cook with pots hanging in the house, or a few stones in the yard, and cook with the pots set up, so they need three rings." ”

"This is easy to do, it can be done, but the cost should be appropriately added a little bit, do you see a problem?"

After bargaining, Boss Liang bought 6,000 small iron pots, and ordered 6,000 small iron pots with hanging rings.

"These kitchen knives, hoes, shovels, and axes are so good, can you get thousands of them?"

Shopkeeper Chen shook his head: "These things are just samples, and the current output is not enough, and it is estimated that it will take another year or two." ”

"Iron farm tools are franchised, and Boss Liang has to go to the record, free of charge. In this way, it is easy to say that during the transportation, it is easy to say that the officers and soldiers will inspect it. ”

"Okay, there's no rush for this, the firm has to spend some time in Qingzhou to purchase some other goods."

This is a pleasant transaction, the money and goods are cleared, come to earn, go back to earn, this trip is worth it.

Shopkeeper Chen invited Boss Liang to eat in the restaurant, and when the two came to the restaurant, Boss Liang was stunned.

It turned out to be a round table and a tall chair, exquisite workmanship and beauty.

The plates and bowls are all snow-white and snow-white good porcelain.

"I've never seen a dinner table of this kind before, so it's strange."

After a while, the food was served, and as soon as it was served on the table, the fragrance was fragrant.

"It's so fragrant, why does it taste so good?"

Shopkeeper Chen was very happy: "Lao Liang, let me introduce you." This is a scrambled egg from rape, stir-fried on high heat with sesame oil on top. This is lightly sautéed celery. This is braised elbow, this is braised carp. ”

"Most of the cooking in the south is boiled, and the taste is very different from here. Especially this elbow and carp, the taste is delicious. ”

"This is our Qingzhou's unique seasoning, called soy sauce."

Boss Liang ate a meal and ordered some soy sauce and sesame oil.

After eating, Boss Liang patted his head: "Ren Cheng Lu Taishou arranged something, I forgot to tell Lord Thorn Shi." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Important, important, building ships, and other things."

"Let's go, let's look around the barracks. However, the area around the barracks is a forbidden area, so don't run around and follow me. ”

"Don't worry, I know the rules."

Boss Liang followed Shopkeeper Chen to the vicinity of the barracks, which was surrounded by military management areas, and it was not allowed to enter and exit casually.

Here the soldiers gathered, the infantry was neat, and the cavalry was shouting with joy.

Although Boss Liang didn't understand anything, he could see that all the soldiers were neatly dressed, strong and well-armed.

Shopkeeper Chen informed the soldiers on duty, and after a while, Lu Bu came out.

"Shopkeeper Liang, do you still have something to do with Ben General?"

"General Hui, the last time I was appointed as Cheng Lu Taishou, the things were settled. The villain found a down-and-out boat shop from Yangzhou, the boss's surname was Wang, called Wang Chong, who turned out to be making large fighting ships for the imperial court, and could build dozens of zhang of building boats. ”

"Oh, why didn't Boss Liang let them come over?"

"This Wang Chong has a lot of requirements, he wants his annual salary of one hundred taels of gold, and eighteen craftsmen under him, each of whom has no less than five yuan per month. The other recruited craftsmen were paid with the general, but the number must not be less than five hundred. ”

To outsiders, this price sounds sky-high, but Lu Bu understands that the large seafaring ships bring mountains of gold and silver, what is a mere 100 taels of gold?

You must know that the building ships of this era are equivalent to aircraft carriers in this era, and a warship can carry thousands of soldiers. If you can open up the world, then the money is not too easy.
