"That..."
The chief clerk hesitated to speak, but asked stubbornly: "Sir, Tanghai County has another 5,000 soldiers and civilians."
"The military rations..."
Gong Jing looked at the distance. Whether it was the soldiers or the civilians, they were all tall and strong.
At first glance, they all had bottomless stomachs.
The rations of Tanghai's 3,000 cavalry were enough for him to drink a pot.
If the 5,000 people were equipped with rations, I'm afraid the granary would be eaten up by the Tanghai people.
However, Qingzhou still had to save face.
They came from afar to help.
Although the infantry was the last and did not play a role in the battle.
But we can't neglect them.
Gong Jing, who was determined in his heart, was about to speak, but Liu Yu took the lead.
"Our new 5,000 people have brought their own rations." Liu Yu said.
He keenly noticed the change in Gong Jing's face.
To sell goods in the city later, the governor will need to open the door smoothly.
At this time, you must not let the other party have a rift in your heart.
"The governor is not responsible for the rations of these soldiers who come later."
Liu Yu found that Gong Jing was silent, so he asked again.
"The purpose of their coming here is not to rush to help."
"But to escort the goods in order to sell some money in Qingzhou."
"This... okay." Gong Jing nodded "reluctantly" in agreement.
"Since County Magistrate Liu said that he prepared his own food and grass, and it is indeed not a reinforcement for rushing to help."
"We can't say anything."
"However, County Magistrate Liu, please rest assured that the sale of Tanghai goods in the city will definitely be protected by the Qingzhou government."
"It will never be bullied by the local tycoons."
"As the governor, I can guarantee you."
"Thank you, Governor." Liu Yu bowed his hands.
"In addition." Gong Jing spoke again.
The young man in front of him did not take advantage of the Qingzhou government, which made him look up to him even more.
"I will immediately order someone to write a document and send the war situation here to Luoyang as soon as possible."
"Let all the civil and military officials in the court know the great achievements that County Magistrate Liu made in the Qingzhou War."
"Don't worry, your efforts in Tanghai County will definitely be rewarded."
"Thank you, Governor." Liu Yu bowed again.
After the speech, Governor Gong Jing returned to the city with his men.
After the war, there were still many government affairs waiting for him and the officials to deal with.
Liu Yu returned to the temporary camp.
He told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to take the soldiers and civilians, pull the goods, and go to the city accompanied by the Qingzhou Chief Clerk.
"Master Chief Clerk, this is a gift from our county magistrate." Zhang Fei ordered the soldiers to hand over a few jars of wine.
"Where is your residence? I'll send someone to deliver it."
"This..." The chief clerk's face lit up. He recognized the jar. It was the kind of strong liquor brewed in Tanghai County.
This is a rare commodity.
"Thank you, County Magistrate Liu. I'll be disrespectful to refuse it." The chief clerk smiled.
He thought to himself that County Magistrate Liu was really good at doing things.
Even if he didn't give him anything, he had to get things done.
After all, there was the governor's order.
But now, he was willing to do things for the other party.
"Brother, what goods do you sell? I'll help you with some advice." The chief clerk took the initiative to stick to Zhang Fei and asked.
"I have some face in the Qingzhou capital city."
"I also know what people probably need."
"That's great!" Zhang Fei was very happy.
He showed the goods on the wooden cart to the other party one by one.
Fine wine, iron pots, steel farm tools, daggers, kitchen knives, axe, sickles.
"Brother, how many kinds of things can you make in Tanghai County?" The chief clerk frowned and asked.
"How many craftsmen are needed to make so many categories? And such a large number?"
He picked up a kitchen knife and observed it carefully, but was stopped by Zhang Fei.
"The blade is too sharp, don't touch it easily, it will cut your fingers." Zhang Fei raised his hand to hold down the other party's probing hand.
"This kitchen knife, is it not made of the same steel as the weapon just sold to the government?" The chief clerk twitched his eyebrows.
It is so sharp, it is probably sharper than the standard weapons equipped by their Qingzhou official army.
"That one is made of 1,000-refined steel, and this one is made of 50-refined material." Zhang Fei explained.
"Although the quality is relatively poor, it is still easy to cut off the standard weapons of the imperial court."
As he said this, he borrowed a weapon from the chief clerk's attendant and casually picked up a kitchen knife from the wooden cart and cut it.
With a click, it was cut off crisply.
"..." The chief clerk was speechless and blinked his eyes again and again.
"The kitchen knives in Tanghai County are sharper than the weapons in Qingzhou..."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it!"
"Brother." His eyes lit up.
"You will never have trouble selling these goods!"
"How much do you want to sell this kitchen knife for?"
Zhang Fei's eyes rolled around and he doubled the base price Liu Yu had given him.
He raised two fingers and said in a rough voice: "Two thousand coins!"
"Brother, that's too little." The chief clerk put his hands behind his back and shook his head.
"Such a kitchen knife can be sold for five thousand coins without any problem."
"Wait for me to ask my followers to bring some standard weapons for officers and soldiers, and you, brother, will be in front of the mansions of the wealthy families in the city."
"Let me chop with a kitchen knife."
"Those people are willing to spend a lot of money for novelty."
"Not to mention, if other families buy it and they don't, they will lose face."
"When the rich buy things, they don't buy things, but face. ”
Zhang Fei smacked his lips and nodded, saying, "Listening to your words is better than selling goods for ten years!"
"I learned it."
"Thank you for your advice, Master."
"However, if Master did not call out those wealthy families, I would not be able to accomplish it alone."
The Master continued to ask, "Brother, how much do you plan to sell your good wine for?"
Zhang Fei did not even think about it, and said what Liu Yu had taught him before, "This is a secret wine made in Tanghai County, and the production is extremely limited."
"Selling it for 100,000 yuan a jar, isn't it too much?"
Zhang Fei said tentatively, and he raised the reserve price ordered by Liu Yu by five times.
Those wealthy families want to buy face, so he gives them enough face!
"Cough cough cough..." The Master coughed, "Brother, isn't 100,000... a little too high?"
Zhang Fei grinned and shook his head, "I'll go to the mansions of those wealthy families later. ”
“Open a jar and let them taste a little.”
“Tell me more about the governor. He praised this wine very much at the dinner yesterday.”
“I really want to drink it, but I didn’t drink enough.”
“Do you think my wine can be sold for 100,000 yuan?”
The chief clerk was stunned.
His eyes widened and almost fell to the ground.
Staring at the black man with a rough grin beside him, he suddenly realized a truth.
If this rough man used his brain, he would probably make the smart man fall down and not find out what went wrong.
As the saying goes, great wisdom appears foolish, and fools are treacherous.
“Brother, you are smart. I admire you.” The chief clerk was very impressed.
…
Outside the city, Liu Yu, who was checking the system in the central army tent, suddenly had a message pop up in his mind.
[General Zhang Fei, full of business experience, activated skills, doing business]
