You must know that now the Central Plains is in turmoil, coupled with the economic invasion of the Ningnan Empire, the prices of the Mandala Empire are soaring every day, and the days without money are very difficult.

The problem of purifying salt is a very small matter, Zhu Daneng and Zhebei are reluctant to go, and some people are willing to go. It doesn't require a lot of skill, just a faithful person.

Hu Wei has been in the army for two years, and he may not be able to do anything else, but he still has a few loyal people. According to Momiji's suggestion, Hu Wei sent Gama to take charge of the matter.

Gama has also followed Hu Wei's old subordinates since Hu Wei was the captain, and he also swore to Hu Wei that there is absolutely no problem in terms of loyalty. In addition, this person is more introverted, likes to be quiet and does not like to move, and the environment like the valley is very suitable for him, and he himself likes it very much.

Seeing that Hu Wei sent Gama to the valley, Jebe and Zhu Daneng were secretly relieved. In fact, they don't have to be like this, Hu Wei said that sending them was just a joke. Even if they wanted to, Hu Wei wouldn't let them go. Now that Dongwang City is in ruins, it is the time to employ people, Zhu Daneng and Jebe are his right-hand men, how can he let these two generals go leisurely.

After three days of preparation, the first batch of salt finally came out, and now the sample is being placed in Hu Wei's military tent. The salt of the white flowers is translucent, which is really comfortable to see, and these are all money

"My lord, it's really exactly the same. Jebel grabbed the salt in his hand and sighed.

"Not only does it look the same, but it also tastes the same. Momiji brought the food and drinks. Today's salt is a good day, everyone is working hard during this time, Hu Wei wants to comfort everyone, and specially explained to the red leaves to find a way, and made a simple banquet, which is considered to open a small stove.

"Let's sit down, let's try the skills of a female military division today. Hu Wei smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down. These dozen or so people are the core team of Hu Wei. Yu Luoya, Long Xiyu, and Song Qingshan are not among them, they are new to join, and they have not yet achieved any results, and they have not yet been recognized by everyone.

There were two maids on the table who were not maids, Hanyu and Fan Meng. These two beautiful medics were transferred to Momiji's side by Hu Wei and served as secretaries in the military committee, specializing in sorting out the correspondence within the legion. Because of the relationship between them and the red leaves, they can now be regarded as quasi-cronies in the Hu Wei group.

With these two beautiful girls at the banquet, the atmosphere will be much warmer. Hongye is a woman who is worried, and Zhu Daneng and his gang don't dare to tease her, but for Hanyu and Fan Meng, they don't care so much. Everyone is an old acquaintance, plus they are happy and drink some wine, and their mouths are not guarded, and those very yellow and violent words will be spit out from time to time, which makes the two women very angry.

"Sister Momiji, look at them, one is really worse than the other. Hanyu lay on the shoulder of the red leaves, coquettishly not clinging.

Because Hanyu is relatively more cute, her little face is easy to blush, and everyone likes to fight her the most.

Hu Wei on the side snorted and said with a smile: "Yo, who bullied our little Hanyu, sue me, and I'll help you clean them up." ”

Hanyu pouted: "It's you who are the worst." ”

"Yes. General Hu Wei is the worst, I just saw him secretly looking at Hanyu's chest. Fan Meng on one side also reported Hu Wei's evil deeds.

Hanyu saw that he was being pulled again, and hurriedly fought back: "Stinky Fan Meng, I'm going to die, I talk nonsense." General Hu Wei is peeking at you, not at others. ”

"Yo, Xiao Hanyu is jealous. "When the dream is bad, turn around and run.

"Hmph, stinky dreams, see how people clean you up. Hanyu's little face was flushed and she waved her little fist, laughing with Fan Meng.

"Hahaha," a group of men laughed wickedly. Although the food was light, everyone ate happily.

Hu Wei said: "Now we have entered a new era, come, let us raise a glass and wish a better tomorrow." ”

"We're going to have a toast too. Fan Meng and Hanyu, who were laughing, also ran over.

"Dry"

Zhu Daneng wiped the wine stains from his mouth and said: "Hahaha, I'm really happy today, but it's a pity that Hou San is not here, and there is one less bicker, which is not very enjoyable." ”

Hou San was sent by Hu Wei to pick up Lu You. Now that Dongwang City has been decided, it is time to develop a large number of weapons and equipment.

"Hou San is coming back soon, right?" Hu Wei threw a peanut into his mouth, in front of these old brothers, he never put on a stinky shelf, it was still the same as before, how should it be, how should it be. Unlike some people, when they have a little power in their hands, their eyes look to the sky.

"It's coming, it should be five or six days before I can be back. Zhu Daneng said. Although he and Hou San kept arguing every time they sat together, in fact, their relationship was quite good. If something happened to Hou San, Zhu Daneng would definitely be the first to draw the sword, and vice versa.

Hu Wei nodded and said, "When he comes back, let's have another drink and help him wash the dust." ”

Zhu Daneng clapped his hands and said, "That's okay, I still have a few bottles of good wine, I'll bring them when the time comes." ”

"Then I'll give you a chicken. ”

"I come out of peanuts"

"I'm out"

A group of people screamed like you, and I screamed the same. The conditions in Dongwang City are extremely poor, and sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to sell things.

"Hey, Fanmeng, Hanyu, what's wrong with you?" Hu smiled evilly and turned his head to look at the two young girls. There is no KTV here, and there are no singing and dancing performances, so you can only make fun of these two girls.

"We don't have anything. Hanyu said with a pair of big watery eyes.

"That's it, your general drinks and makes our little girl give something, isn't this bullying. General Hu Wei is the worst, and he always wants to beat us Hanyu's idea. "Fan Meng's temper is relatively outgoing, and he dares to say anything.

"Ah, why did you talk about it again. Sister Hongye, look at her, she always bullies others. Hanyu nodded violently at first, agreeing with Fan Meng's statement, who knew that Fan Meng's words changed, and he pulled her again, and screamed coquettishly.

Momiji smiled and waved his hand: "Don't call me, look for your general Hu Wei to help you out." ”

"Sister Momiji is bad, you also bully others. Hanyu said and rolled her big eyes, came to Hu You's side, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Brother Hu Wei, you see that they are all bullying Hanyu." ”

Hu Wei laughed so much that his tears were about to fall, and he said in a voice that was about to die: "Don't call me brother, brother is just a legend." ”

After the meal, Hongye served tea to everyone, and sat down quietly with Hanyu and Mengfan. Eating and laughing, it's time to get down to business.

Hu Wei took a sip of tea, glanced around at everyone and said, "Now that we have the salt, the next thing is to sell it." Let's talk about how we can sell this salt in exchange for what we need. ”

Zhu Daneng said: "My lord, what we lack most now is food and weapons, these two things are available in Baohuai City, we might as well take them there and sell them." ”

Kochis spoke: "I don't think it's good, Baohuai City has always had no friendship with us, and the city guard Mazeben is greedy, if he finds out that we have a lot of salt in our hands, maybe he will risk some bad water on us." ”

Kochis had been with Sumatra for a long time, and he had a deep recess about this human matter, knowing that he was innocent and guilty. Since Hu Wei successfully helped him cure his wife Li Yulian's illness, he has been dead set on Hu Wei, and naturally thinks about Hu Wei in everything.

Momiji also agreed with Kochis's opinion and said, "General Ko has a point, with our current strength, it's best not to let others know that we have salt, otherwise we will be in trouble." ”

Harrison said domineeringly: "If he wants to fight, he will fight, we now have 50,000 male soldiers, are we still afraid that they will not succeed." Now that he has 15,000 men and horses in his hands, he has gotten rid of the status of a slave camp, and the suppressed blood in his body has revived again. He is the master who even dares to beat his boss, don't look at his usual muffled voice and don't like to talk, his temper is not very good.

Hu Wei waved his hand and said, "We and Baohuai City will have a battle sooner or later, he doesn't care about our salt, I still think about his iron ore."

But now is not the time, war costs money, we have no money now, we can only develop the economy. We must develop Dongwang City in a short period of time.

Now the population of Dongwang City is too small, only 20,000 people, and the military and civilian ratio is not enough. This is not conducive to the replenishment of our troops. My ideal is to develop the main city of Dongwang City into a big city with a population of at least 300,000 or more, and the surrounding area of Dongwang City into a large economic zone with a population of more than one million, so that our army can be replenished with resources, including soldiers. ”

Everyone didn't expect that Hu Wei had already made such a big plan in his heart. A large economic zone of more than a million, just thinking about it, can make people excited.

"But my lord, how are we going to develop the economy, is it so difficult that we can rely only on salt?" Hanyu asked weakly. When it came to military matters before, she couldn't intervene, but when it came to this economic issue, she was very interested. Girls like to go shopping, so naturally they have some right to speak.

Hanyu's question is also a question that the people sitting here are thinking about. Talking big, everybody can, even if it blows the sky out, it's not a big deal. But just to say, that has no effect, the key is still in a 'do' word, the actual is to follow the book.

Hu Wei said: "Of course, it is impossible to rely on salt alone. We have to combine multiple economies to make it happen. Yu Luoya is now trying to grow a hundred beast grass, if he can succeed, then we will take a route in the future with raising and selling horses as the leader, and combining a variety of economies. ”

Zhu Daneng asked: "My lord, I'm not pouring cold water on you, what if Yu Luoya's grass can't be planted, or if it is planted, it is not as good as he said, and he can't even raise a horse with Ben?"

Zhu Daneng's words are in Hu Wei's team, he can only say it. If it was somewhere else, he wouldn't dare to say it. As soon as the boss said that he would take horse breeding as the leading industry, you said that horses may not be able to be raised, so isn't that a slap in the face of the leader? The so-called leader is always right, and if there are difficulties, he must go up, and if there are no difficulties, he must go up, and if the leader likes it, he can do it, and if he doesn't like it, he will not do it, and if he doesn't like it, he will not do it, and if he doesn't do it, he will not do it. The subordinates are not satisfied.

Hu Wei is here to speak widely, and he is not disgusted by Zhu Daneng's words, but he is also very happy. Zhu Daneng was born in a family and knows a little about economics. He didn't pour cold water, but he spoke about the possibility of it.

There are no absolutes in everything, and before it is done, there will always be failures. In everything we do, it is important to consider not only its success, but also its failure.

Hu Wei nodded and said, "Zhu Daneng is very reasonable, and I have also considered this issue. Success is not a given, although I am confident that it will succeed. If you can't raise horses, don't worry, we still have a way. Don't forget where Jì Housan went. ”

Zhu Daneng's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "You mean selling weapons?"

Hu Wei gave a thumbs up and said, "Smart, I didn't grow fat in vain."

Master Lu You's craftsmanship, I believe everyone here knows. Baohuai City has iron ore again, and there is no problem in terms of raw materials. This is a path that is inevitable. ”

Momiji frowned and said, "But selling weapons is a very dangerous industry, and if the empire investigates it, we will be very troublesome." ”

Hu Wei nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I ranked this after raising horses." Valencia ignores us now, but no one can say when he will remember us again. Although the empire is now in chaos, it has not reached the point of total chaos. We still have to be cautious in these areas. The more low-key it is, the better it is for us. ”

Hu Wei said here and glanced around at everyone. The reason why he used the sale of salt to speak up about the problem of horses and weapons was to strengthen everyone's confidence and give them a hope to have.

Like success, loyalty is not a given. Everyone has the right to aspire to a good life, when the loyalty is always not rewarded, and everyone always has to come up with something to make up for a banquet, and more and more things appear, and those loyalties will slowly disappear. It's like that joke, you make people can't even eat, and you still ask people to love you

"Okay, let's get down to business and get back to the issue of selling salt. This is our starting capital. Only when the salt is sold and the money is obtained, the rest can be developed. Whether it's raising horses or building weapons, no money is empty talk. ”

"General, where are you going to sell the salt, are we going to open a shop or something? Hanyu poked her head out from behind Momiji and said coquettishly.

This lovely girl, it seems that it is right to transfer them back to the military department. The troops below are about to undergo large-scale and strict military training, and if the two of them are still in the troops below, they may not be able to laugh at this time.

Hu Wei smiled and said, "It's okay to be a store manager." Not now, though. I have no plans to open a store in the near future. It's not in line with our current situation, and I'm going to do a lot of money at once. ”

Zhu Daneng asked: "My lord, do you want to be a big business? The amount of salt is very small, who do you plan to sell a large amount of salt to?"

Hu Wei smiled mysteriously and said, "This is going to ask you, who do you think can consume a lot of salt?"

"Ask me?" Zhu Daneng frowned. The amount of salt used is very small, and if you want to consume a large amount, you will have a lot of people. Where are the most people?

Zhu Daneng suddenly thought of a place - the Western Wolf Legion. The Wolf Legion has a standing army of 200,000, and Renata has a good relationship with them. Anyway, they always buy salt, who to buy from or not.

"Got it. Hu Wei smiled: "I plan to pull 10,000 catties over in advance and talk to them." ”

"10,000 catties" Hearing Hu Wei's words, everyone sitting there gasped. There are only 200,000 people in the Wild Wolf Legion, and 10,000 catties of salt is just a chat, so how much is it really sold. 100,000 catties a month? Marinate them all into salted fish?

"Boss, isn't 10,000 catties too much?" asked Zhu Daneng weakly. He knew that Hu Wei had hit him again this time.

Didn't Hu Wei hit Zhu Daneng with his idea. Renata offered to marry him last time, but he refused. This time, Renata may not give him this face. Hu Wei thought of Renata's cousin Guan Tianyu, she is Zhu Daneng's fiancée, let Zhu Daneng talk about Guan Tianyu, and then let Guan Tianyu talk about Renata, and you can make this business.

Hu Wei said with a smile on his face: "Not much, not much, 10,000 catties is just the needs of the Wolf Legion for two months, so how can it be considered too much." ”

Zhu Daneng's whole face was bitter: "But the military salt of the Wild Wolf Legion is provided by the emperor, and they don't necessarily need our salt." ”

Hu Wei smiled: "Then it depends on your ability." Renata counts, but your little cousin, you must have a way. ”

"General, what do you mean by little cousin?" Hanyu asked with a puzzled expression.

Hu Wei explained: "Zhu Daneng's wife is Renata's cousin, and his wife's sister is a sister-in-law, isn't the cousin a little cousin?"

Hanyu giggled: "It's not a general, you're mistaken, my wife's sister is the little sister-in-law, and my wife's sister is the big aunt." ”

"What is it?" said Hu Wei with a wicked smile.

Hanyu thought that Hu Wei hadn't heard clearly, so she raised her voice and shouted, "It's the eldest aunt."

The military tent fell silent for a while, and everyone couldn't help laughing, looking at Hanyu without speaking.

"What's wrong with you. Hanyu looked at everyone blankly, she didn't feel that she had said something wrong.

Hongye glared at Hu Wei fiercely, pulled Hanyu over, and whispered two words in her ear.

"Ahh Hanyu's whole face turned red, she stomped her feet unruly, turned around and ran out of the military tent.

"Hanyu, what are you doing so fast, did your aunt find it?"

I don't know who is to blame, there is a bad laugh in the military tent.
