The other few are from Lujia Village and nearby Wangjia Village, who go to work every morning and go home at night, especially the four people in Lujia Village, who are still relatives of Lu Xu's same clan, and have fields in their own homes, but they feel that their fields are not too busy, and the wages given by Lu Hui are cost-effective, so they came to Lu's house to work.

At dinner in the evening, four young men about the same age as Lu Xu came to him, two of them called Uncle Lu Xu, one Lu Xu wanted to call Uncle, and the other called Brother Lu Xu.

Lu Xu was very suspicious that they had not discussed it with their family and had come secretly.

Lu Xu asked the four warriors to go home and bring the elders of the family to come over, otherwise they would not agree, and they ran away in anger.

But not long after they left, someone came again.

This time I came back to be older, all to earn wages.

Lu Xu readily agreed.

People came one after another, a total of seventeen or eighteen people, and Lu Xu was going back to the county.

He was a little regretful, if it was the same clan, he would definitely focus on cultivating, but others were unwilling, and he couldn't coax others.

Lu Xu: "I will recruit people tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you have thought about looking for me in the county, take the boat of the Guanyang Alliance, and I will pay for the boat fare." ”

Lu Xu left with two bags of embroidery, and Lu Qing was still in the village.

Lu Xu engaged in such a big battle, he will follow next time, and take advantage of the past few days to be filial at home.

He didn't leave, and those who hesitated to go but didn't dare to go all came to him to inquire about the situation in the north.

For a while, the Lu family's grocery store was lively again, different from usual, most of the people gathered this time were young men, all of them were full of blood, some called uncle, some shouted grandfather, chasing Lu Qing and asking questions.

Lu Qing: "......"

Ah, it's annoying!

Lu Xu went back to pick up the big embroidery and found someone to frame it as soon as possible, and let Yuan Manniang classify it according to its value and divide it into five grades, and then asked Yan Junqi and Lu Zhou to help him give him some nice names.

Then Lu Xu went to see the goods purchased by Lu Yong and Lu Xuan.

With the amount they wanted, it was very easy to negotiate with the small merchants, and the only ones who were difficult to negotiate were a few large merchants from the south.

After listening to what Lu Yong and Lu Xuan said, Lu Xu guessed that the other party did not reduce the price, but only wanted to talk to Lu Xu himself.

"Okay, I'll take you to talk tomorrow." Lu Xu put away the manifest and asked Lu Xuan to arrange for someone to load the things into the car.

They just don't look for Lu Xu, Lu Xu has to find them.

He has so many leathers, herbs, and handicraft raw materials, waiting to sell them at a high price.

Early the next morning, Lu Xu enthusiastically led the pharmacists contacted by Lu Wen to choose the medicine first.

"You can choose as you like, of course the good herbs still have to stay in our Guanyang, and I will sell them elsewhere after you choose them."

Lu Xu said it soundingly, and Lu Wen on the side wanted to roll his eyes.

His eldest brother, can really say, obviously he doesn't know anyone, and he doesn't know much about the pharmacy for two days.

The pharmacists didn't think much about it, and after a few polite words, they began to choose drugs.

According to their habitual thinking, since Lu Xu dared to get such a large number, he didn't understand medicine, at least he understood the price.

He doesn't understand, the person who sold him has to understand, he bought it all, can he still ask the name, properties, and price of the medicine?

Lu Xu really didn't understand.

He always exchanged things with others, and when people said it, he didn't remember it, fooling the other party is similar to fooling them, pretending to look and smell, and completely picking spices.

But the truth is that even if someone catches a weed and covers him, he doesn't know it.

When it came to the quotation, the brothers began to sing double reeds.

How much others quote, they add two or three percent, and others don't report, so they offer a low price and let a few bid.

In case one of the prices was wrong, he smiled mysteriously and said, "I don't understand this, or it's worth much, you say, I'll listen to you." ”

The pharmacist didn't know whether he didn't know how to pretend to understand, or if he didn't know how to pretend to understand.

After a while, both parties ended the purchase satisfied.

The quality of the medicinal materials that Lu Xu brought back was different, but Lu Xu asked them to choose at will, and on the whole, it was much more cost-effective than them buying from other places, at most it took some time.

Especially for some medicinal materials that are only produced in the north, the price given by Lu Xu is also very cost-effective.

They don't know that the reason why it's so cost-effective is entirely because the reserve price they quote is not high, and the "black-hearted merchants" can't distinguish between medicinal materials, and they don't know which Longxing is rare, and which is only available in the north, and they don't add much.

Lu Xu behaved generously, and Lu Wen behaved sadly, muttering loudly, "Why is it sold at this price!" ”

While the medicine merchant sent someone back to get the silver, Lu Xu casually mentioned it: "By the way, I still have a batch of deer antler velvets, but I was in a hurry to receive them, and they were mixed with other beast horns, if you need it, you can also go over and pick it." ”

"Deer antler velvet?"

"Yes, deer antler velvets, those deer antlers are of different quality, and there are not many of them." Lu Xu muttered in his heart, if not, don't blame me.

He didn't know it anyway, and wasn't even sure if those short horns with a little fluffy were antlers, if not......

Then the next time he goes to the north, he will have a good chat with that grain officer.

Lu Xu behaved extremely generously, "That's it, let's pick out the antler velvet first, the old rules, good stay in Guanyang, you pick first, and I'll sell the rest elsewhere." ”

He received a burst of praise from "Lu Dangjia's high righteousness", and also harvested a group of professional free labor, full of joy was not obvious, and still maintained his generosity, and said with a smile: "I won't quote the antler velvet, and when everyone picks it, let's start shooting with one or two silver!" ”

He doesn't believe that he can still lose money in auctions!

When the pharmacists picked out the large and small deer antler velvets and put them according to their quality, Lu Xu himself was shocked.

What a reality!

It's good that he knows deer antler velvet!

Next time you go to the north, you must have a good chat with that grain officer!

The author has something to say:

Lu Xu: Look, I know everything!

Pharmacist: Damn, cheated!

Chapter 157: Invitation

There are not many of these deer antler velvets, and there are very few good ones.

Lu Xu thought about it, it was originally thrown in the tent and idle, if it was good to pick and pick and the quality was good, it would have been taken away by the military doctor a long time ago, how could it be his turn.

Not to mention the antler velvet, those intact horns can only fall into his hands because they are pressed under the fur and difficult to pick. If he can get deer antler velvet, he can already make a lot of money.

Lu Xu happily auctioned off a small half of the deer antler velvet, and the purse bulged a little more.

He took the opportunity to ask these pharmacists if they were willing to go with him to the north to buy medicinal herbs.

He is always alone, he doesn't understand anything, sooner or later he will have to show his stuffing, if he can bring someone who knows how to do it, he can take the other party to Qinglong City or other county pharmacies and medicinal herb markets to shop. Although it is not as cheap as collecting it from the people, it is at least cheaper than Guanyang in the production area, and it is good to buy it with small profits and sell it to the south.

Some people in the pharmacist were excited, but when they heard that Lu Xu was going to leave in two days, they hesitated again.

Lu Xu: "It's okay, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, that is, next time it will probably be after the beginning of spring." ”

The pharmacists promised to go back and think about it again and give him a message tomorrow.

After sending the pharmacist away, Lu Xu asked Lu Wen to pick one of the remaining items as a sample, picked the biggest and most beautiful antlers, and went to the warehouse to load a pink stone, a few animal skins, and a big bag to ask the few merchants who didn't give Lu Yong and Lu Xuan a cheap price.

At the same time, Song San and others, who had returned to Guanyang after selling autumn grain in the Song family's house, were also entertaining guests at home.

Song Da and Song Er have worked hard for many years and have gained a firm foothold in the state capital, and now even in the state capital, when it comes to their boat to help the Song family, they are also big merchants with heads and faces.

The more this happens, the more they care about Guanyang's heel, and they are always ready to recapture Guanyang's river transport.

Hearing that Lu Xu had returned from the north, Song San took a clipper boat back to Guanyang from the state capital to inquire about Lu Xu's movements.

Their Song family seems to be in conflict with the surname Lu, Lu Xu's good restaurant is not open, and he goes to run business, and he runs business, and he joins the Luo family to start a grain business.

Song San knew that the Guanyang Alliance almost vomited blood when they collected the grain, why did they do whatever the surname Lu did?!

If Lu Xu knew what he thought, he would definitely be speechless, Guanyang's specialty is grain, of course he wants to sell grain!

But the Song family didn't think so, and they even suspected that Lu Xu had specifically analyzed the way their family made a fortune and deliberately followed suit.

Otherwise, why would his family engage in water transportation, Lu Xu would engage in a Guanyang Alliance to grab water trading, and his family would sell grain, and Lu Xu would start collecting grain and selling grain everywhere? Seeing that they couldn't compete with the state capital, they also found another way to start a land route.

Why didn't he go to heaven?

During the autumn harvest, Song Da even transferred Song Shi back from the state capital and went to various villages and towns to keep an eye on the grain collection.

Song Shi came back to take advantage of Lu Xu's absence to make some trouble for the Guanyang Alliance, but Song Qi had the final say on the dock and on the water, and Song Qi didn't cooperate, so there was nothing he could do.

There is the support of the Luo family in the county, Song Shi is not easy to do, he is ready if the Guanyang Alliance goes to their territory to collect grain, he will beat the surname Lu out, but because of the dispute between Lu Xuan, Lu Wen and Yan Junqi, the Guanyang Alliance will only collect grain in Lujia Village in the autumn.

Song Shikong had a belly of ambitions that had nowhere to be displayed, he couldn't imagine that he was so capable in the state capital, and he couldn't use any strength when he returned to Guanyang.

He was aggrieved for several months, and Lu Xu returned with the caravan.

On the same day, Song Shi jumped up from the quilt and ran to the street early in the morning to see what Lu Xu had brought.

The result?

"Didn't he keep saying that he would go to Shuozhou to find a barbarian to buy sheep? What about sheep? Not a single one! Song Shisheng laughed exaggeratedly, "Don't talk about sheep, even wool...... Ahem, I got some sheepskin back! ”

The partners they called hurriedly echoed, "It's not that there is not a single sheep. ”

"I can't get any of his mutton pots." Song Shi accidentally made a joke out of his mouth, a little embarrassed, sat down and picked up a cup of tea and drank it, "He's been back for a few days, is there any movement?" ”

The guy who had been staring at the Guanyang Alliance was busy saying, "I heard that their grocery store sells good jerky. ”

"Jerky?" Song Shi snorted, "How many people in Guanyang can afford to eat meat?" Grain for meat, he's a pig's brain! ”

The crowd laughed and laughed again.

Song Shi asked again: "Where are his sheepskins?" Is it sold? ”

The guy shook his head: "Didn't hear any movement." ”

"What season is it, doesn't he hurry up and sell it, wait for everyone to buy cotton, and then sell it after winter?" Song Shi laughed: "Third brother, I don't think this kid is so evil, sooner or later he will play himself to death, and it won't be a big deal!" ”

Song San smiled lightly, "Maybe it's about to be sold." ”

Song Shi: "It's still the same sentence, how can so many people in Guanyang afford these things?" There are not many people who are willing to buy new cotton and make new clothes every year! ”

He was beating these partners inside and outside the words - Guanyang is a poor place, a small county town, and he can't make a lot of money in Guanyang, so if he wants to get rich, he has to take their big ship and go to the state capital.
