Chapter 116: Preparations for War
"Did you buy all those porcelain bottles I asked you to buy?"
Li Xiang suddenly thought of another thing, although the porcelain bottles of this era are expensive, if you spend a lot of money, you can still buy them, not to mention that Li Xiang is for explosives and lamp oil, so that he can make simple weapons by himself, so the skin does not need to be too good, as long as it does not leak.
"It's all gone, piled up behind our warehouse, and some large boxes are ordered, and some soft grass is spread in them to ensure that they won't be broken during the march, but the corners may still be damaged."
Although Zhou Huairen didn't know what Li Xiang was doing with it, he also knew that Li Xiang was about to go to the front line, and these things should be taken to Tuyuhun.
"There are also things like lamp oil, all of which will be transported to Liangzhou City after being bought, so that our people can sort out a batch of goods and bring them to Liangzhou City."
Li Xiang's vision is forward-looking, although the current Liangzhou City is not prosperous enough, it is just a border city, but after this war, it will definitely become a border trade place.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the personnel have been selected, and then you can press this batch of goods and set off, and I have also thought about the inn wine shop you mentioned, and it is around our treasure." Li Xiang told Zhou Huairen the concept of a commercial complex that day, this guy has made all the plans today, and in the future, according to Li Xiang, Zhi Zhibao is the center of the city, and if anyone wants to eat and stay, the first thing that comes to mind is Zhidaobao.
"That's basically it, but double the money you spend, according to the plan you mentioned, the total investment of a county town is three hundred yuan, which is too conservative, it must be increased to more than five hundred yuan, and it must be kept the most luxurious here within two years, for example, all the furniture and wine glasses inside must be selected as the best now, so that all people think of luxury, and immediately think of us to hold the treasure."
Although Zhou Huairen's concept can, but in some details still have not mastered well, this year only buy expensive not buy right, there is no problem at all, every city has some rich people, what they want most is to spend money to show their difference, if you don't even give this opportunity to others, then how can you do the rich business?
"Your Highness's head is really smart, I bought it all my life, why didn't I even think about it, please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely make our accommodation and wine shop impressive."
Zhou Huairen said with great confidence, in the past, he was also a wealthy person in Chang'an City, and of course he knew very well how to enjoy it.
"Anyway, the money is in your hands, just find a way to spend it, let's put the stall up first, I have already talked with other major families, on the issue of holding on to the treasure, they will not interfere with us, each city will open one first, if the city is big, we can continue to open, but at this stage, we will first fill each city and then say, we must find the best place in each city, even if the land price is a little expensive."
In the eyes of everyone's big households, Zhizhibao is just a family, even if it is opened all over the country, it is a small business, especially inns and wine shops, they don't look down on this at all.
"Your Highness, don't worry, when you come back from the southwest border, there will definitely be our figure holding the treasure everywhere in the country, but your Highness must be careful when you go to the battlefield, don't get into danger."
Zhou Huairen said with concern, if it weren't for Li Xiang's appearance, he wouldn't know what kind of life he had, now Li Xiang must not have anything to do, as long as Li Xiang can come back well, then his glory has just begun, if something happens to Li Xiang, can Li Chengqian's straw bag be supported?
Li Xiang nodded silently, these days when explaining things, I do feel that the burden on my shoulders is very heavy, there are many people who are eating with him, so there must be no accident, once something happens, the future of these people is gone, when you pulled people into the car, you depicted a brilliant future for others, this can not be interrupted at this time, we are a reputable person.
When he returned to the East Palace, the emperor's decree had already come down, and Li Xiang and Li Zhi had the same official positions.
It makes sense for the emperor to do this, although he has already explained it to the two people, but after all, the two people have titles on them, if they make trouble within the army, the two generals will also have a headache, and now I will give you a position in the army.
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to be in the army, then you must follow the discipline in the army, even if you are the prince and enter the big account in the army, you have to listen to orders honestly.
"Are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?"
Miss Mengqin was serving Li Xiang to change clothes, while Qian Ping was listening.
"The words of His Royal Highness are ready, General Cheng's big axe ......"
After Li Xiang decided to go on the expedition, he had already asked people to rush out of Cheng Jin's big axe, and the other was Qin Qiong and Qin Huaiyu's side, the father and son were also famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and one person prepared a steel knife, of course, if you don't give it, we have to see what attitude you two have, we can't give this knife indiscriminately, as for Cheng Chuliang, he died this time, Li Xiang originally wanted to pull him, so he arranged him in the Imperial City Division, but he didn't expect that this time he couldn't follow the army to fight, followed Cheng Yanjin's birthplace is Cheng Chuliang's eldest brother Cheng Chumo.
"Tonight, take advantage of the moonlight to send it over, and go to Cheng Chuliang to send two catties of good wine, and let him arrange for me to get to know his eldest brother before he goes on the expedition."
The people of the old Cheng family are very scheming, and they are very arrogant on the surface, but secretly they can see that if Li Xiang wants to live on the battlefield, this step must be taken, but the people of Qin Qiong's family are easier to get along with, and the family is an upright person.
"Your Royal Highness, the old slave found out the news, His Royal Highness the King of Jin went to the Wei Wangfu after the dispersal of the dynasty, aren't the two of you?"
Taking advantage of this gap, Qian Ping reported another thing, of course Li Xiang knew that these two guys were a family, what good thing could two bad guys do when they got together?
