The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Chapter 125 What does Feng Xiao mean by this statement?

At this time, the workshop for making immortal jade has also been expanded. With the speed of the workshop, it can produce tens of thousands of immortal jade every day, which can be converted into money.

On the way back to the city, Jia Xu's confidence was greatly encouraged. The craftsman workshop and the immortal jade workshop made Jia Xu see the possibility of Xuzhou's growth. The powerful army and financial support will definitely make Lu Bu rise among the princes. middle.

Xuzhou, the land of the Four World Wars, who said that it cannot become the capital of Lu Bu's rise? The method is appropriate. After annexing Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Lu Bu will have the strength to challenge Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. There will be no fear at all.

"Wenhe, how is Guo Jia?" Lu Bu asked suddenly.

"This person is quite intelligent, and he is also outstanding in terms of resourcefulness." Jia Xu said.

"At all costs, we must keep this person in Xuzhou. If not, you should know how to do it." Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu nodded. How did he come to Xuzhou in the first place? I didn’t expect that after Lu Bu became a vassal, such a barbaric style remained unchanged. This is also in line with Lu Bu’s character. If talented people are allowed to leave Xuzhou, then It was Lu Bu's loss.

Lu Bu's strength is so strong that the princes dare not underestimate it, but it does not mean that scholars of letters will scramble for refuge. At this time, it is reasonable for Lu Bu to use other methods.

Pengcheng was much more prosperous than when Lu Bu first came here, but Lu Bu still felt that it was not enough. Just relying on immortal jade as a support was not enough. How could he get the support of the people so that they could live a stable life without worrying about food? Don't worry, will the people reject such a monarch?

The workshop for making fairy jade is a secret, and it is impossible for ordinary people to participate in it, but Xuzhou can definitely open up other industries, such as weaving, which are also necessary materials in life. Although Xuzhou currently has a weaving workshop, Not very large in size.

And the soldiers in the army needed a lot of clothes. With the current number of soldiers in Xuzhou, it would be more than enough to build a garment factory.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu summoned Mi Zhu immediately.

Mi Zhu is the God of Wealth in Xuzhou. If you leave Mi Zhu in many things, you will have many difficulties. In terms of business, Mi Zhu's talent is even stronger than being an official. It is also quite powerful.

After Lv Bu finished his plan, Mi Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, after the establishment of these workshops, they need to be recognized by merchants from all over the country. Shu brocade is the best cloth. After the establishment of workshops for making clothes, many people will have the opportunity to make a living. .”

"It doesn't matter, the clothing workshop also needs cloth, and besides, Zizhong is in the city, do you still worry about the difficulty of selling these cloth?" Lu Bu laughed.

Mi Zhu said: "Among business, the benefits of salt and iron are the most attractive. In the past, salt and iron were all in the hands of the imperial court, and it was difficult for local officials or families to intervene. But the situation is different now. If Xuzhou can produce salt, it will surely There will be huge profits."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Zizhong's words are very true. The East China Sea, Langye, and Guangling are all near the sea, and they will get a lot of salt at that time."

"Salt obtained by sun-dried seawater is also acceptable," Mi Zhu said.

"You are in charge of this matter, just let Qian Ang, a reliable person." Lu Bu said.

"This subordinate understands." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

After taking refuge in Lu Bu, Mi Zhu found that his tasks were getting heavier and heavier, and he was busy as a whole, and sometimes he couldn't even guarantee the time to rest. However, this kind of life made Mi Zhu feel fulfilled. How many officials want to live such a life Not yet.

The heavy tasks represent the trust of the monarch. Only by completing the tasks assigned by the monarch better can there be more opportunities.

The marriage between the Mi family and Lu Bu is a good start, the key depends on whether the Mi family can seize this opportunity.

Immortal jade caused a craze in the Han Dynasty, and even spread beyond the Great Wall. In Mi Zhu's view, it was not a long-term strategy after all. He had accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time. Once the method of making immortal jade was spread, the value of immortal jade would be greatly reduced.

Take precautions in advance so that you don't panic when this happens.

In the blink of an eye, one month later, news came from the craftsman's workshop that the [-]-steel weapons that Lu Bu requested to be forged were being delivered to the army. time.

A weapon forged from hundred-refined steel is sharper than an ordinary weapon, and consumes more materials and time. How many craftsmen aim to forge a hundred-refined weapon.

After the Xuzhou Craftsman Workshop has mastered the forging technology of Hundred Steel, craftsmen only need to use Hundred Steel to forge weapons. At this point, craftsmen can still learn quickly. One craftsman can forge three weapons in one day Hundreds of refining weapons, this is the result of the craftsmen in the craftsman workshop working day and night.

Being able to forge a hundred-refined weapon is a huge stimulus for craftsmen. This is the result they have dreamed of in the past. After achieving it, they are naturally excited, and they are even more passionate when forging weapons.

With the number of craftsmen in the craftsman workshop, it is completely possible to do non-stop movements day and night.

The weather is hot, and craftsmen are sweating profusely. Few people stop. There are rewards for forging weapons. The money is still considerable.

The weapons forged by craftsmen are used by the camp, and good steel must be used on the blade. The camp is the most elite existence among the infantry of the Xuzhou army. After being equipped with better weapons, their damage on the battlefield force will be greater.

In terms of treatment at this point, even the cavalry would be envious after seeing it.

Not to mention the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army, even the generals in the army could hardly imagine that Lu Bu could equip the army with a hundred steel-smelting blades.

When Guo Jia saw such a large number of Hundred Refined Weapons, his expression was filled with surprise. He is a counselor and he can see more things. Naturally, Guo Jia has heard of the name of Hundred Refined Weapons. Even in the Luoyang army, it is impossible to equip the soldiers of the army with hundreds of refined weapons.

"Marquis Wen, I believe that it is inappropriate to distribute these weapons directly to the enemy camp." Guo Jia cupped his hands.

"What does Feng Xiao mean by that?"

"The elite soldiers in the camp are all aware of it, but this is a hundred-refined weapon, and even the generals in the army want to have it. Just imagine, ordinary soldiers in the camp can be equipped with a hundred-refined weapon. Some generals understand What kind of thoughts do you have?" Guo Jia said.

Chapter 127 Going to Jubao Pavilion

Gao Shun's words are very simple, "If you fall into the camp, you must win this time."

The short and powerful words mobilize the passion of the soldiers in the camp.

War is a huge test for an army, and the same is true for drills. Through ordinary drills, you can better judge the gaps in the training of soldiers and make timely adjustments based on the deficiencies shown. is of great significance.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them for a while, if the soldiers in the army can't take it seriously in ordinary training, can we expect them to perform better in future wars?

"Marquis Wen, there is already evidence of the collusion between the Qin family and Heiyi Pavilion in the humble position." Wang Yue said in a deep voice in the state pastoral mansion.

Lu Bu's eyes sharpened, "If you dare to associate with Heiyi Pavilion, there is no need for the Qin family to exist anymore, and you will secretly bring Qin Li, the county magistrate, to Pengcheng."

"This subordinate understands." Wang Yue cupped his hands.

Lu Bu's position in Xuzhou will be more stable, which will be more beneficial to Wang Yue's future development. He does not want the people he relies on to be swallowed up by other princes, and Lu Bu's methods at the critical moment in Xuzhou have proved that This shows that it has the power to occupy Xuzhou and look down on the princes.

And the strength Lv Bu showed made Wang Yue have a vague expectation that maybe Lv Bu would exceed the expectations of the princes and grow to the point of fear. At that time, as an official under Lv Bu, he would not be rewarded for his hard work.

The powerful family has eyes above the top, and Wang Yue has a lot of quarrels with them. If he sees the family being unlucky, he is still very happy.

The feudal lords looked down on Lu Bu, and the big families and court officials in Luoyang used to look down on Wang Yue. Both Lu Bu and Wang Yue had goals to fight for.

"Here's an order, the guards will accompany me to the Qin family," Lu Bu said.

Wang Yue persuaded: "Why does Marquis Wen put himself in danger, as long as Marquis Wen gives an order, it is absolutely impossible for the members of the Qin family to escape."

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, then nodded. The Qin family is just a small family in Xuzhou. If he went there in person, he would give the Qin family face.

"You will lead five hundred personal guards to surround the Qin family," Lu Bu said.

"Here." Wang Yue bowed his hands and left the room quickly.

This is Wang Yue's first appearance after returning to the arena. From now on, officials in Xuzhou will know that Wang Yue, the former emperor of the Han Dynasty, worked under Lu Bu's command.

Five hundred personal guards surrounded the Qin family, which caused quite a commotion in Pengcheng. Although the Qin family was not a powerful family in Pengcheng, it had existed for a long time. Suddenly, soldiers surrounded the Qin family. They have more guesses.

When Lv Bu was in charge of Xuzhou, the officials in Xuzhou secretly opposed it, but now, few families dare to show it. Lv Bu does not act according to common sense. Sanctions, no family dares to ignore Lu Bu's determination and cruelty.

The name of Wang Yue also spread in Xuzhou along with this action. The emperor of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as the number one figure in the court. Why did he work under Lu Bu's command.

In the arena, Wang Yue has a great reputation, especially after Wang Yue became the emperor's teacher, which made Wang Yue's reputation even louder. It is really surprising that such a master helped Lu Bu secretly.

Although aristocratic families look down on people in the Jianghu, it depends on what kind of person they are. Wang Yue is a knight who has been famous in the Jianghu for a long time. .

Just after the personal guards surrounded the Qin family, the members of the Qin family put up a desperate resistance, which surprised the officials in Xuzhou.

The fact that the Qin family was surrounded by personal guards does not mean that the Qin family will be wiped out. The resistance of the Qin family is enough to explain many problems.

The people in the Black Clothes Pavilion, after their whereabouts were exposed, did not give Wang Yue and others a chance at all, and would rather die than surrender.

Such a result was expected by Wang Yue. The mystery of the Black Clothes Pavilion is that very few people can know the specific information about the Black Clothes Pavilion. Hesitantly choosing to die, just this kind of courage is enough to make people pay attention to three points.

The Qin family was wiped out in one day. Originally, the officials in Pengcheng thought that Qin Li, who was in Liu County, would stand up against Lu Bu. However, Qin Li had already been secretly taken away from Liu County without receiving any news from the Qin family. The attack by the State Shepherd's Mansion this time made the Xuzhou officials once again see the fierceness of Lu Bu's methods.

Just when the Qin family was destroyed and the officials in the city were cautious, Lu Bu ordered Muji to be summoned.

News came from Jubao Pavilion that the blueprint for making the sleeve crossbow can be negotiated.

The sleeve crossbow does not play much role in regular troops, but its role cannot be ignored in special troops. If used properly, it will become a deadly weapon.

The purpose of training special teams is to carry out secret tasks. What they pursue is the result, and they don't care about the intermediate process.

The more sophisticated the equipment, the soldiers of the special team will have more means.

Putting on ordinary clothes, Lu Bu quietly left the State Shepherd's Mansion.

There were not many guests in Jubao Pavilion, and there was not much difference from Lu Bu's last visit.

Muji is also familiar with the way. Under the leadership of the maid, he went straight to the second floor, while Lu Bu followed behind Muji, which made Muji feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't know Lu Bu's identity in the past, but he was able to express himself in front of Lu Bu. Show a sense of superiority.

But thinking of the mission of this trip, Muji can only pretend to be relaxed.

In fact, Muji is quite curious about the identity of the owner of Jubao Pavilion. His yearning for the owner of Jubao Pavilion does not mean that Muji is a stupid person. It is difficult for a woman to run such a shop in Pengcheng. One can imagine that the most likely thing is that there is someone else behind Li Qing.

Recently, Muji has also inquired a lot about Jubao Pavilion. Pengcheng has Jubao Pavilion, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which are close to Xuzhou, all have Jubao Pavilion. These Jubao Pavilions must be inextricably linked. of.

"The two of you came together, the little girl has a lot of curiosity." Li Qing said with a smile.

Mu Ji said: "My son and Brother Zhao also hit it off, and I also have a lot of interest in business, so I have been in contact with Brother Zhao during this period of time, and I happened to meet outside Jubao Pavilion."

Li Qing said: "I don't want to think that the dignified young master of the Mu family is interested in business. If it gets out, it may cause a lot of shock in Pengcheng."

"What's wrong with doing business? Don't you think I'm not capable of doing business?" Mu Ji suddenly became unhappy, following Mi Zhu's side during this time, he has learned a lot about business and is preparing to go to Yanzhou for the exhibition What about fists.

Chapter 128 Bargaining

In the eyes of others, a businessman may be lowly, but Muji does not think so. He will prove his ability through business.

Li Qing said with a smile: "If Mr. Mu is in business, he will definitely do a lot. In the future, if you are a rich man, don't forget about the little girl."

Li Qing's laughter made Mu Ji slightly absent-minded, and the flower branches trembled. Although Mu Ji and Li Qing had contact before, Li Qing's attitude was relatively cold.

Seeing Muji's expression, Li Qing also realized her gaffe, she cast her eyes on Lu Bu and said, "Your Excellency made a joke."

"No problem." Lu Bu said.

Li Qing must be a woman with a lot of means. If Mu Ji really gets together with Li Qing, will there be any good results? Given Mu Ji's obsession with Li Qing, maybe after Li Qing sells it, she will still do it for her. Counting money.

"Although the little girl doesn't know why you need the method of making sleeve crossbows, the little girl is a businessman. As long as the customer can get a satisfactory price, Jubao Pavilion will not refuse." Li Qing said, on the items purchased from Lu Bu, she I felt Lu Bu's extraordinaryness.

For ordinary merchants, it's okay to buy a hundred-refined weapon, but the method of making the sleeve crossbow is a bit intriguing.

Li Qing also ordered people to inquire about Lu Bu, but they did not get much useful information. It seems that no such person appeared in Pengcheng before. Li Qing even suspected that Lu Bu was from other princes, and got the method of making the sleeve crossbow. After that, Lu Bu will be rewarded.

In the army, the sleeve crossbow will not play a big role. After all, the sleeve crossbow has a limited range and is expensive to build. It is difficult to equip it in the army to maximize its value, but it is a good choice for self-defense. Secretly sold, the value is not low.

Officials on one side must care about their own lives. The sleeve crossbow can be used as a self-defense weapon at such a time, and it can solve a lot of troubles in case of surprise.

"Make an offer." Lu Bu said lightly.

Mu Ji hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao and this young master hit it off, and they have helped me a lot in business."

Li Qing said: "Since he is a friend of Mr. Mu, the price of Jubao Pavilion must be reasonable."

"A sleeve crossbow is worth 500 yuan. If you want to make a sleeve crossbow, it's impossible without [-] million yuan." Li Qing said.

"500 million yuan? Why don't you go to the Jubao Pavilion? With 500 million yuan, you can directly buy more than 200 sleeve crossbows. Why spend such a high price, do you still have to post things? Besides, what if you have a production method? If you can’t make a sleeve crossbow, wouldn’t it be a big loss.” Muji suddenly stood up, obviously shocked by the price Li Qing offered.

The Mu family can be considered rich, but it is very difficult to spend 500 million at once.

The aristocratic family occupies a large amount of land. Most of the time, they hoard materials instead of exchanging them for money. Sometimes, the value of materials cannot be measured by money, especially in troubled times, when wars start and prices will rise.

Lu Bu frowned and said, "The price is indeed a bit high. In fact, I will probably need hundreds of sleeve crossbows. In order to save the price, I plan to buy the method of making sleeve crossbows."

"Your Excellency's words, the little girl can't agree, the sleeve crossbow is very valuable, if the sleeve crossbow is successfully built, how much money can you earn through the sleeve crossbow?" Li Qing said.

"At most 200 million yuan." Lu Bu said.

Li Qing shook her head and said: "Two million won't work, since you have friendship with Mr. Mu, at least 200 million yuan is needed."

"Friendship is friendship, and business is business. The Jubao Pavilion family has a big business, and I can't compare it. How about adding 20 yuan?"

Muji was dumbfounded, as if he hadn't expected that Xuzhou Mu and Wenhou, who were dignified, would start bargaining with merchants. Seeing that Lu Bu said it clearly and logically, it was obviously not the first time he had done such a thing, but Lu Bu was still good at bargaining. Much to Muji's admiration, the same thing is put on him, and he will definitely not do something to lose his identity because of these prices.

After less than half an hour of confrontation, Li Qing sighed: "I don't think your Excellency has such a good eloquence. Okay, let's pay the price of 300 million yuan."

"Cheerful." Lv Bu smiled. During the process of bargaining, he also felt a lot better. After becoming the commander of the first army and Xuzhou Mu, every time he saw his subordinates, he had to put on a straight face. There is a chance to free yourself.

"Forgive me for talking too much, you must not be an ordinary businessman to buy sleeve crossbows, right? In Xuzhou city, the control over weapons is extremely strict. If the soldiers in the city get the news, maybe you will encounter a lot of trouble .” Li Qing said.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I know what kind of forging method there is in Jubao Pavilion, and the price is negotiable."
