Chapter 303: Prosperous Commerce
Chapter 304
The three armies did not move, and intelligence went first. Cheng Dalei carried out this principle to the end, and what the war was fighting was economics and intelligence, and as for the real use of knives and guns on the battlefield, it was secondary.
Sent a team of people to Haojia City to run a restaurant, listening to the wind and grass in the city, Cheng Dalei gave them an order to report every three days. With the bonus of the "Rumors of the Rivers and Lakes" skill, the intelligence problem is solved.
Cheng Dalei is personally responsible for economic issues, and now there are at least 1,000 people in Toad Village, and it is not a small number for people to eat horses every day. No matter how Cheng Dalei is, he has to fill the stomachs of these people first, otherwise why should they accompany him to play with his life.
On this day, Cheng Dalei took Xu Shenji and Zhang Fei to take a flat boat and left the cottage along the water. He changed into a Xiushi robe today, with a folding fan in his hand and a sword at his waist, not like a thief king who kills people and sets fires, but like a personable scholar.
The boat docked at the dock of Haojia City, and the three abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and Cheng Dalei shook the folding fan and paced into Haojia City.
There was a lifetime pharmacy on the street in front, and the owner of the pharmacy was sitting behind the counter with a woman, and the autumn was crisp, and the woman seemed to be pregnant, and her body was a little inconvenient when she moved. The proprietor was careful and did not dare to show the slightest slackness.
Shopkeeper Lin beckoned his men to work, peeked at this scene, and sighed with emotion in his heart: since the last incident, his shopkeeper seems to have changed a person, and the gate does not go out of the second door all day long.
"Shopkeeper Lin, can this medicinal material be expedited in a few days, we are in a hurry to take this money back for the winter. ”
"Lao Li, are you doing business on the first day, and you have to wait for the medicine to be sold in an emergency, your medicinal materials are all damp, I will sell them to you, and you have to accompany the smiling face......"
At this time, a scholar dressed as a scholar walked into the pharmacy with the two of them, and the shopkeeper Lin, who was chatting, inadvertently glanced at it, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and his mouth closed endlessly.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I really can't turn around at home, you can do well, and you still point to this money to pay the bill. ”
"Okay, come over tomorrow, I'll keep the money for you." Shopkeeper Lin hurriedly agreed.
After the scholar came in, he didn't speak, and found a place to sit down, and then, the shopkeeper Lin instructed the guys a few words, and the guests who bought medicine in the pharmacy were quietly invited out.
Soon, there were only a few people left in the pharmacy, and the door closed, and the light became dim.
Shopkeeper Lin and the senior officials of Ximen both had a bitter face and stood in front of the scholar with their hands down.
"Cheng Dangjia, why are you here again, what do you want this time?"
"Why, I came to you to buy something. Cheng Dalei tasted the fragrant tea sent by the shopkeeper Lin, to be honest, this tea is really good, I don't know how much better it is than the tea in Toad Village.
"Hey, don't say this, what do you want, just say it, I'll definitely send someone to send it over." "Ximen Chunchang thought to himself, don't you go to the middle of the river like last time and ask me if I eat plate knife noodles or wontons.
"It's really a medicine. Cheng Dalei handed over a list: "The above medicinal materials are prepared for me, and they will be delivered to my home by myself, and the bill will be paid at the market price." ”
Alas, what kind of money do you need, if you provoke such a bad star, you will burn high incense without killing anyone.
Cheng Dalei handed over the list and suddenly took it back: "Dare to play tricks, you have to weigh the lives of your wife and children." ”
"Oh, how dare I, you are my living ancestor. ”
Cheng Dalei gave him the medicine list, Cheng Dalei did come to buy medicine, there are so many people in the cottage, more or less have a headache and brain fever, and preparing some medicinal materials is considered a strategic material.
"Actually...... I have one more thing ......"
What do I say, what do I say, the thieves come to the door, how can there be good things.
"I've been short of money lately, like learning to do business. ”
"Oh, what kind of business does your lord do, what kind of business is more profitable than the business that your lord does. ”
"Grab ...... You can't grab it every day. Cheng Dalei said: "You are familiar with the market, what is making money now?"
After chatting with Cheng Dalei for so long, Ximen Chunchang's fear decreased slightly, and his speech became organized.
"If you say that a book is profitable, it is naturally tea, medicinal materials, salt, and the Rong people do not produce these, and they are all huge profits when they are sent over. It's just that this business can't be done. ”
"Why can't you do it?"
"The imperial court is not allowed to do business with the Rong people, and if you are caught, it is a big crime to cut off your head. Of course, there is no shortage of people who take risks, the key is that this road is not going through now, and the eighteen leaders along the road are exploited layer by layer, and no one dares to take this road now. ”
Cheng Dalei pondered about this matter, others dare not go, maybe I can't go, there is no business, what prosperity can I rely on. He glanced at this Ximen Chunchang more, this kid is a talent, and the business is very straightforward, and he has to be bold and bold, although he is a little lustful...... But for a man, can lust be considered a problem?
Cheng Dalei leaned over slightly and asked seriously, "...... you Do you want to be a bandit?"
Ximen Chunchang fell to his knees with a puff, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Cheng Dangjia, please spare me, I have old and young, and there are children who have not yet given birth to their mother's womb, you raise your noble hand and let me go. ”
Cheng Dalei left the pharmacy and continued to walk forward, turning into the backyard of a restaurant.
"Big boss, big boss......" The chef and shopkeeper all surrounded him.
The shopkeeper here is surnamed Wang, named Qinzhou, because he can make calculations and has a careful heart, so he was sent by Cheng Dalei to support the affairs of the restaurant.
"Okay, let's do our own thing. Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Are all the people here?"
"They have just arrived, and they are waiting inside. Wang Qinzhou said.
Cheng Dalei was led into the backyard hall, Wang Qinzhou opened the door and stood outside, only Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji, and Zhang Fei walked in.
There were also three people in the room, who stood up at the same time, their faces changed, and they seemed to be a little unsure of how to face Cheng Dalei.
"Sitting, sitting, what to do, it's not that I don't know. ”
These three people are Yun Zhonglong, Qiao He, You Jiulou, Yun Zhonglong and Cheng Dalei have met, and they can even be called familiar, while the other two are the first time they have met with Cheng Dalei, the same is that they have all been defeated by Cheng Dalei, one of the original eighteen leaders.
"Mo Mingmi gave you to me, do you know?" asked Cheng Dalei.
All three nodded at the same time.
"The good thing is that you don't need to pay protection money to Boss Mo in the future, and the bad thing is that he won't come forward to protect you. Cheng Dalei said: "But things are divided into two sides, you can choose to mix with me in the future, and I called you here today to talk about this matter." ”
