The business is negotiated, and the guests and hosts are happy.

Six thousand armors made Tao Qian very happy.

There is grain in Xuzhou, and there is a lot of it.

Compared with other states in the world, Xuzhou is actually quite peaceful.

It's just 300,000 grains, and he can easily take it out.

But after the banquet dispersed, Tao Qian's heart suddenly became unsteady, and he always had a feeling that he had lost.

He thought about it, but the more he thought about it, the more unreliable he became, so he ordered someone to call Mi Zhu.

"Zizhong, you have a good way of doing business, I have to talk about today's matter, I felt that I made money at first, but now I feel that I have lost money inexplicably, what is going on?" Tao Qian asked the maid to beat his shoulders and asked.

Mi Zhu, nicknamed Mi Bancheng.

Their family has been engaged in reclamation for generations, and the industry is huge, with nearly 10,000 servants and diners just raised, and assets of more than 100 million yuan.

Although he may not be the richest man in Xuzhou, he is definitely one of the best.

Mi Zhu smiled, "The envoy is worried that the imperial court will give you bad armor, right?" ”

As soon as he said this, Tao Qian immediately sat up, "Hey, you seem to be really right, I do have such worries." ”

"In this matter, I think you should ask the imperial envoy, so that you are more down-to-earth." Mi Zhu said, "But I think that what the imperial court gave you should be the old armor that was replaced by the Northern Army and the Yulin Army in the past." ”

Tao Qian was not calm for a moment, "Why do you think so?" ”

"The envoy might as well think about it, the current armor of the imperial court is full of iron armor, excellent workmanship, and the weapon is a sharp blade that has been forged several times. How much does this set of armor and weapons make Jun think it should be worth? Mi Zhu asked.

Tao Qian hissed lightly, "I'm afraid...... Must it be the price of a war horse? ”

Mi Zhu shook his head, "I think it's more than that, I'm afraid the two war horses are about the same." ”

"Let's give you a rough calculation, a war horse is about 20,000 yuan at most, which is the lowest."

"The best Liang Mi is four hundred dollars. That is to say, such a pair of armor and matching weapons is about 40,000 yuan, which is roughly 100 Hu high-grade beam rice and 200 Hu barley. ”

"200,000 barley, you can only exchange it for a thousand armor. Your Majesty may sponsor you, but the Imperial Secretary may not agree. If it's the old one, you actually still earn it, and you don't lose it. ”

Tao Qian's heart was furrowed, but his brows were still furrowed deeply, "Then why did Han Fu secretly smile when he left?" ”

Mi Zhu: ......

"It turns out that Ling Envoy Jun is entangled, and suspects that this is the reason why he lost money?" Mi Zhu couldn't help but laugh.

Tao Qian nodded, "This is the main reason. ”

Perhaps, the court envoy did not calculate whether he made or lost. Even if the old armor went back with this result, he felt that His Majesty might be angry. Mi Zhu smiled.

Tao Qian was stunned, and his surprise at Mi Zhu's statement made his eyebrows fly, "This possibility should be very small, right?" Although Han Fu is not a good person, he should be able to calculate this thing clearly, right? ”

Mi Zhu gave Tao Qian a slightly helpless look.

You are a person who is more shrewd than Han Fu, don't you understand?

"Envoy, this is arithmetic, although it seems simple, but the people who really understand it and earn money in it are only a handful of people. Most of those big businessmen with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars have a group of Muke to settle accounts. Mi Zhu said.

听糜竺这么一解释，陶谦觉得好像还真有些道理。

"According to what you say, Han Fu may really mess up the errand for the emperor. You know what I've been thinking, Yuan Shaobiao's Xuzhou Mu, I have never recognized it, I always feel that I am the Xuzhou Thorn History of the Imperial Court. The court is in trouble now, I can't still make a fortune in this matter myself, otherwise I will get more food for Han Fu? Tao Qian said.

Mi Zhu put his hand in his sleeve, pondered for a moment and shook his head, "You can't do it so directly!" ”

"Then what do you mean......" Tao Qian was a little curious about what kind of attention Mi Zhu would give him.

Mi Zhu smiled profoundly, "The king needs to borrow grain from the ministers to fund the court and report to His Majesty." ”

"Why is that?" After Tao Qian asked, he suddenly understood, "Crying poor, showing loyalty?" ”

"Exactly!" Mi Zhu said, "When the court is in difficulty, even if the envoy is borrowing food from his humble position, he has to rush to the court, this loyalty can be learned, and it is difficult for Your Majesty not to be moved by the envoy's move!" ”

"Isn't the Korean Festival going to suffer again?" Tao Qian couldn't help laughing.

I don't know why, when he heard that Han Fu was going to suffer, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Mi Zhu said quietly: "The king is too merciful, and he is too thoughtful. ”

"Actually, I want to see him suffer! This kid used to talk to me, his nose is not a nose, his eyes are not eyes, he is very arrogant! Tao Qian couldn't help laughing, "In the past two years, he has been tossed a little ruthlessly, and suddenly he has been low-key." ”

"This person, the representative of my Han indecisiveness, it is good to suffer more."

Mi Zhu lowered his head and chuckled.

He almost thought that Tao Qian was kind enough to give Han Fu a hand.

……

That night, Han Fu and his entourage stayed in the government office.

Lying on the stiff bed, Han Fu couldn't sleep left and right.

Excited!

6,000 old armor, in exchange for 300,000 grains, I feel like I have made a lot of money.

The errand that the emperor had given him, at this point, he had completed it perfectly.

Bang bang bang .

The wooden door was pounding rhythmically.

Han Fu turned over and jumped off the bed, in a happy mood, and even his skills to get out of bed were a lot more agile.

"Xu Fu?" Han Fu opened the door and saw that the person standing outside was Xu Fu, who was a little surprised, "It's so late, but what's the matter?" ”

"Chief, please allow the humble to enter the auspicious courtesy." Xu Fu said.

"Okay, come in." Han Fu turned sideways and let Xu Fu in.

The lights outside the house are like beans, and the stars are brilliant.

Han Fu lit the oil lamp on the table and let Xu Fu sit down.

"When the chief is leaving, can Your Majesty have an explanation, how much armor to exchange for how much food?" Xu Fu asked.

Han Fu shook his head, "No, it's just that Zhu Situ warned me that this is a business of the imperial court, and I should strive for the greatest benefits." That is, to exchange the least amount of armor for more food, which is what it means. ”

"So that you can know what the price of grain is now?" Xu Fu asked.

Han Fu was suddenly a little dazed, "Hiss...... I really don't know. ”

In the past, when Jizhou was in charge of the government, he never had to think about this, and he never bought food in person.

After following Cheng Jian south to enlist in the imperial court, the army was responsible for food and housing, and he never asked.

This matter, for him, is completely blank.

"Guanzhong is about 800 yuan for Liang rice, 500 yuan for barley, and about 150 yuan for grain. 300,000 grains, if it is grain, it should be 45 million yuan. Xu Fu said calmly.

Han Fu asked, "Why is there so much difference between the prices of grain, rice, and barley?" ”

Xu Fu: ......

I don't think I meant that?

"The price of grain was deliberately pressed by His Majesty's decree to ensure that the people eat food." Xu Fu was a little helpless, "What I want to say is that Shi Chang didn't seem to mention to Tao Envoy Jun what kind of food the court wants." ”

Han Fu reacted suddenly, "It seems that there is really no ......"

He patted his head, and suddenly became a little anxious, "If that guy is all given to Chenggu, wouldn't it be my errand that has been ruined?" ”

"It looks like he's done it all." Xu Fu said silently, "Forty-five million dollars can't build six thousand armors, at most three thousand, and the lowly position is talking about old armor, not brand new armor." ”

"According to the speed at which the superintendent will build armor, the cost may not be so much, but we should calculate this matter according to the normal cost, not the level of the superintendent."

Han Fu, who was full of confidence, instantly seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water.

"I'm fucking, I'm still in bed just now, and I'm already fantasizing that I'm appreciated by His Majesty again. Hearing you say that, I'm stupid. Han Fu greeted himself angrily, and immediately greeted Xu Fu, "It's good to have you, Xu Fu." ”

"If you don't remind us today, when we return to Kyoto, Your Majesty will probably hang me on the city wall."

"Don't say that the benefits are the greatest, I'm directly ...... Half of it was lost, right? ”

Xu Fu nodded.

But actually, more than that!

If armor could be crafted so easily, the war might have been a different story.

Although he didn't know how the emperor did it, let the general be the prisoner with such a high armor-making speed.

But it is an indisputable fact that armor is difficult to make.

"Xu Fu, what should I do now? Only you can save me! Han Fu was a little anxious.

He didn't dare to think about it now, and his scalp tingled when he thought about it.

"Ask Tao Yuanjun for the best Liang rice, and then exchange it for grain, at the grain price in Guanzhong, not the grain price in Xuzhou!" Xu Fu said, "In addition, Shi Chang can try to throw out some more armor to increase the price." And told Tao Envoy Jun that His Majesty really wanted to send the previous 6,000 bodies, so you only need 300,000 grains. ”

"Okay, yes, but will he say yes?" Han Fu responded again and again.

He was in a bit of a daze now, and there was no way to think about it.

"It's hard to say, but I can only try." Xu Fu said, "Liang Mi for grain, even the chief must not have the slightest concession!" ”

"This may really be related to the life of Shi Chang, but the follow-up increase in the price of armor depends on Tao Envoyjun's attitude, and this matter cannot be determined."

Han Fu nodded again and again, and asked, "But is there any other way to save it?" ”

Xu Fu shook his head, "That's the only way." Remedying after the fact, we can only try our best to make up for the loss in the middle of this transaction, and it is difficult to make any further gains. Shi Changxing probably didn't know that Tao Zhijun's other driving was Xuzhou wealthy businessman Mi Zhu, who was very good at business. ”

"Even if you use other means and use some ghost tricks, you will definitely not be able to hide Mi Zhu's eyes."

"There is such a capable person around Tao Qian." Han Fu sighed with emotion, "It's okay, this matter has to be done if it doesn't work!" ”

He gritted his teeth and set his mind again.

This time, carefully, carefully, must be!

He Han Fu is going to turn over!
