Take the system to become Uncle Liu

From Yecheng to Wuji County, Liu Bei was on his way all the way, and he didn't dare to delay at all. This posture frightened Zhou Tai who had just arrived. He didn't know what was wrong with his lord. He had never been so serious before. The coercion made him dare not speak.

Still taking advantage of the rest, Cheng Yaojin said to Zhou Tai: "Youping, if you see the appearance of the lord in the future, please remember not to say anything, do what the lord asks you to do, and don't go Disturb the lord, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

Zhou Tai listened to Cheng Yaojin's words, and nodded deeply, expressing his agreement. Zhou Tai was sure that anyone who saw Liu Bei like this would not dare to speak out.

After three days of rushing like this, Liu Bei also rushed from Yecheng to Wuji County. As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Hu Xueyan and He Shen anxiously waiting for him.

Before he had time to ask why the two were faster than himself, Liu Bei took the two to find a quiet restaurant and sat down, ready to explain the situation to the two.

"The general situation is like this. The navy needs about 3000 taels of gold to renovate the warship. This matter will be left to you two. This time I came to Wuji to see if I can borrow some money from the Zhen family."

The two of them frowned at the beginning when they heard that the navy needed so much money to renovate the ships, but when they heard that Liu Bei came to borrow money from the Zhen family this time, they both glanced at each other and showed intriguing smiles.

"My lord doesn't know something. Mr. Hu and I came here this time at the invitation of the Zhen family to discuss cooperation. We never thought that our purpose would be the same as your lord's."

"My lord, the Zhen family has always wanted to cooperate with the merchants of Huizhou and Mr. Hu, and exchange war horses, weapons and other items from my two hands. These two things have been firmly controlled by the two of us. Let it go, if the Zhen family can obtain the right to trade, then the profit will be at least tenfold."

"Because the lord has never spoken, the two of us dare not make our own claims. Now that the lord is desperately short of money, I think this is an opportunity to discuss with the Zhen family."

Of course Liu Bei didn't know about these things. War horses abound in his own territory. These are priceless in the south, but in order not to let too many war horses spread to the south, Liu Bei has never thought of selling them. As for the ones he replaced Weapons, this is not even considered. You can't let the enemy use the weapons you built to kill your own soldiers.

However, when he heard that He Shen and Hu Xueyan actually wanted to discuss business cooperation with the Zhen family this time, Liu Bei's mind became active. Youzhou and Xiliang went to buy it, but I couldn't stop them from owning war horses.

If you sell some bad horses or a small part of war horses, you can also get a lot of money from them. Whether it's rebuilding warships or doing other things, at least you have the capital to do it.

As for the replaced weapons, if they are rusted in the warehouse, it is better to sell them. I have been busy with wars and talent selection, but I don’t care about the money, which has led to the current passive situation. It really deserves it.

Liu Bei thought for a while and decided to let the two men under his command talk to Zhen Jiang. Although he is her man, this woman is very business-minded, and he can't fight, and if she acts coquettishly, let alone After borrowing money, I'm afraid I have to take it in myself. There are good and bad points between this husband and wife.

"Heshen, I understand what you mean. From today, we can authorize the Zhen family to sell weapons that have been replaced by our war horses. Hu Xueyan and your Huizhou merchants can also sell them, but you have to remember that there are also some for sale. The method must not harm oneself and benefit others."

"You two should use this as an excuse to talk to the Zhen family. They want to sell it. Why should we let them sell it if they don't pay for it? 3000 taels of gold is not a small sum."

He Shen and Hu Xueyan looked at each other and instantly understood what Liu Bei meant. He wanted to ask the Zhen family for an agency fee first. The amount must be at least 3000 taels of gold, otherwise, he would not be able to get the war horse from himself at all. and the right to sell weapons.

After they figured it out, they set off towards Zhen's Mansion. As for Liu Bei, he continued to drink tea in the restaurant, waiting for good news from the two of them.

This time Liu Bei waited directly from noon to evening, and he drank countless pots of tea. Liu Bei was wondering if the two of them had fallen into the women's den of the Zhen family and hadn't come out for so long.

Just when Liu Bei was about to send someone in to inquire about the news, He Shen and Hu Xueyan came out of Zhen's Mansion. They walked up to Liu Bei with helpless expressions on their faces. Looking at Liu Bei and others with blank faces, is it a deal or not? I'm happy if it's a deal, but I'm not happy if it's not. Why this expression.

He Shen hesitated for a moment and said first: "My lord, we have already negotiated with the Zhen family. Zhen Ji is willing to offer 2000 taels of gold as sincerity. From then on, she can purchase weapons and war horses from our army for sale. The specific plan will be announced in the next few days." It will be drawn up, Qian Zhenji is preparing, and it is expected to be ready tomorrow."

When Liu Bei heard that there was only 2000 taels of gold, which was one-third short of his request, how did these two people give him a discount.

Before Liu Bei could ask questions, Cheng Yaojin on the side asked carelessly: "Master He and Master Hu, what the lord wants is 3000 taels of gold, how did the two of you raise 2000 taels of gold, are you two stepping into this place?" The Beauty's Nest doesn't know my purpose?"

As soon as this remark came out, even Hu Xueyan felt annoyed. He hesitated and said: "My lord, everyone, we talked according to my lord's request at the beginning, but the Patriarch of the Zhen family disagreed life and death. When we were about to talk about collapse, she They said that I should take the 2000 taels of gold to make a deal, that the lord would agree, and the two of us don't know what that means."

The two of them said that they didn't know what they meant, but they could tell from the eyes of the two of them that they had already guessed the relationship between their lord and the head of the Zhen family, so they didn't refuse, and came out with 2000 taels of gold.

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention Cheng Yaojin's misfire, even Liu Bei was silent. I thought Zhen Jiang would be able to deal with it better if I didn't show up, but I didn't expect the result to be exactly the same. The difference is not 01:30, it's But what to do.

Just when Liu Bei was deep in thought, he suddenly thought of He Shen. Although this person was a corrupt official in history, he was not simple. If the emperor entrusted him with anything, he would never fail to complete it. It is a talent to be able to complete tasks with the least amount of money while maintaining quality and quantity.

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more he felt that this was the only way to do this matter. Time was too tight, and if he had no choice but to go to Zhen Jiang himself, this was the only way to do it.

"He Shen, after the Zhen family collects all the gold tomorrow, you can take it to Bohai Bay. You will be responsible for the transformation of the warships. Remember, the quality and quantity of the 30 warships must be guaranteed for me. The completion of the renovation is a matter of great importance, if there are any problems, your head will be lost."

He Shen didn't think about why he was asked to take responsibility for so much money. It was simply embarrassing, but the lord's order had been issued, so he had to bite the bullet and accept the order.
