Matters that Liu Zhang could not decide were usually left to his subordinates.
"My lord, if you ask me, just take the goods without paying for them. What can they do?" said General Wu Land.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Huang Quan couldn't help but laugh. He dared to rely on Dongyang Hou's debt. I'm afraid he didn't want to live anymore, right?
"Why are you laughing?" Wu Lan said dissatisfied.
Huang Quan opposed Liu Bei's entry into Shu, but now Liu Bei has really rebelled.
Logically speaking, Huang Quan¡¯s position should be more consolidated. But the fact is exactly the opposite. When Liu Zhang saw Huang Quan, it was as if he saw Wang Lei falling to his death.
Therefore, not only did Huang Quan's status not rise, but he was also disliked by Liu Zhang.
Huang Quan is like a mirror, Liu Zhang can reflect his shameful appearance.
"Don't underestimate Dongyang Hou." Huang Quan said.
"Now that the Marquis of Dongyang is so powerful in the world, there is no need to mention this kind of stealing people's goods." Liu Zhang waved his hand and signaled to those who didn't understand not to cause trouble.
Wu Lan had no choice but to step aside.
"Deng Zhi, you have the most dealings with the Yangzhou Army. What suggestions do you have?" Liu Zhang asked.
"My lord, you have two choices now." Deng Zhi said.
"Tell me about it." Liu Zhang said patiently.
"The first one is to directly make up the three million gold to meet Yangzhou's requirements." Deng Zhi said.
Before Liu Zhang expressed his opinion, Huang Quan stood up and objected:
"No, this will make Yizhou look weak and easy to bully!"
Under the signal from Liu Zhang¡¯s eyes, Deng Zhi continued: ¡°Let Zhou Buji select armaments worth three million gold and take them back.¡±
Since it is said that there is a difference of three million gold, then just deduct items of equal value.
Since there are so many armaments, it doesn¡¯t matter if we have less.
"This is a good idea!" Liu Zhang said, stroking his hands.
Huang Quan said nothing and acquiesced to the proposal.
"It's just that this makes the lord stingy. It will be difficult to gradually climb up the big tree of Dongyang Marquis in the future." Deng Zhi said.
Which one is more important?
Liu Zhang came to a conclusion in seconds and overturned his previous words.
"Let's use the first plan. After a while, we can still come up with three million gold and sell several of my estates."
"Lord!" Huang Quan and others burst into tears.
Liu Zhang actually made such a huge sacrifice!
"This matter is left to you, Deng Zhi, do it well, be sure to complete the deal and satisfy the Yangzhou Army." Liu Zhang ordered.
"Yes, lord!" Deng Zhi said.
Soon Zhou Buyi received three million gold and was very satisfied.
"General Zhou, in order to raise three million gold, my lord has sold several manors, please show your favor!" Deng Zhi said sincerely.
Zhou Buyi was embarrassed to say that.
¡°When it comes to business, I just follow the rules.¡± Zhou Busuo said.
Deng Zhi sighed, he had done everything he had to do, and he couldn't force the rest.
"Okay, since there's nothing else, I'll go be my porter." Zhou Buyi said.
It will be completely safe when you return to Jiaozhou, so Zhou Bujie cannot relax at all.
There was still a big deal to discuss next, so Zhou Buyi left Chengdu directly with a huge transportation team.
This time, Liu Beijun only sent Fazheng to negotiate.
"Hey, there are really smart people in Liu Bei's army." Zhou Bujie acted very surprised and took the opportunity to take the initiative.
"General Zhou is joking. You have reminded me many times. If you don't understand again, you will be a fool." Fa Zhengdao.
Seeing countless transport vehicles, Fazheng sighed: "It seems that General Zhou returned home with a full load!"
"It's just an empty car." Zhou Buji said with a calm face and a calm heart.
The corner of Fazheng¡¯s mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer the question.
The first person to tell lies with open eyes is none other than Zhou Buyi.
Fazheng took one look at the wheel marks and knew how heavy the vehicle was.
"How much money have you prepared to buy food?" Zhou Busuo asked.
"How much food does your army have for sale?" Fa Zhengdao.
"There are countless. As long as you can afford the money, it doesn't matter how much food you have." Zhou Buyi said.
This sentence is the truth. The most indispensable thing in Yangzhou is food, and the excess is used to make wine.
Yangzhou wine is sold all over the country.
"We need to buy 500,000 shi of grain." Fa Zhengdao.
"You want to trouble me with such a small amount of business?" Zhou Bujie found it unbelievable.
"Half a million shi of grain is quite a lot," Fa Zheng said.
This food is enough for Liu Beijun to eat for two months. As for not being able to get food for two months, it would be better to just starve to death.
"How much do you plan to pay?" Zhou Busuo asked, constantly testing Liu Beijun's bottom line.
Fazheng didn¡¯t expect to be able to buy it at normal prices. After all, Liu Beijun was in urgent need of food.
"Forget it, no matter how much you pay, five hundred thousand shi of grain is worth one million gold. You need to pay a deposit of five hundred thousand first." Zhou Buyi said.
1 stone of rice=about 17~20kg, 1 stone of rice=about 13~15kg.
The best millet is sold in Yangzhou for four hundred yuan per stone, and ordinary grains, such as yellow rice, barley, etc., are even cheaper.
Money is generally the currency unit of the people. Liu Ke spends money like running water, which is generally measured in gold.
Zhou Buyi opened his mouth like a lion and frightened Fazheng out of his wits.
After a while, Fazheng regained his breath and said, "General Zhou, is this inappropriate?"
"There is no room for bargaining." Zhou Buyi said categorically, "If you don't want to do business, let's just break up."
Fazheng gritted his teeth and threatened, "Isn't General Zhou afraid that he won't be able to get out of here?"
"Very good, you are the first person who dares to threaten me like this." Zhou Buyi said, "Fortunately, I have left a letter to the teacher a long time ago. If something happens to me in Yizhou, it must be Liu Bei's fault!"
For a moment, Fa Zheng was so angry that he could not speak.
"Either trade or get out." Zhou Busuo said.
Since Fa Zheng¡¯s threats have been used, Zhou Buyi doesn¡¯t need to be polite to him.
"By the way, remember to abide by the Autumn Hunting Agreement. Once I find out that Liu Bei has violated the rules, he will be dead no matter how far he goes to the end of the world!" Zhou Buyi said.
Damn it, you actually threatened me!
Zhou Busuo¡¯s anger has not subsided.
"General Zhou misunderstood, that's not what I meant." Fazheng quickly changed his words, with a faint intention of apologizing.
Is an apology useful?
Zhou Bujie never believed this. If Yangzhou wasn't powerful and he was Liu Ke's student, what would have happened to him?
The goods will definitely be robbed!
None of the people under these princes are good, they are all organized bandits.
"Have you thought about it? Don't waste my time." Zhou Buji urged, without the slightest worry that Fa Zheng would fall out.
The worst case scenario is helping Liu Zhang beat Liu Bei to tears!
Fazheng gritted his teeth and said, "We have done this business!"
When Liu Bei entered Shu, he took all his belongings with him. After attacking the city and plundering the land, he plundered a little more. He still had one million gold.
It¡¯s just that this food is too expensive and unacceptable.
The reason Fazheng agreed was because he wanted to gradually repair the relationship with Yangzhou. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
