Chapter 641: Advance Deployment

Changli, Pingzhou government office

After Qin Sheng, Guo Chong and his party set out for Fusang, Lu Songli asked people to invite Wu Ren, Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng, Jiang Yizhou and others.

In today's Pingzhou, when it comes to money, Pingzhou Government Office is one, Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is one, and Ji's Bank is also one. And now the Gu's Merchant Alliance has also gathered a huge amount of cash.

Since she was determined to help Xie Zhan dig a hole for Dali, she had to arrange some things in advance to avoid hurting the enemy by a thousand and herself by losing eight hundred.

After everyone arrived, Lu Songli said directly to Jiang Yizhou, "Next, buy as much supplies as possible and try to spend the money in the warehouse."

The money was sitting in the warehouse without any use.

Jiang Yizhou: "I obey my orders."

Under Lu Songli's request and influence, their Pingzhou government office has always liked to hoard food and necessary supplies, and the money hoarding is relatively small.

But the amount depends on who you compare with. After all, this amount of money can be said to be one of the achievements of the governor's several years of running Pingzhou.

"The same goes for you, it's best to exchange the cash in your hands for supplies or raw materials." Lu Songli said to Wu Ren, Ji Wuyin, and Gu Huaisheng.

The others heard Fang and looked at each other. Although they didn't know what the governor was going to do, they could sense it was a big plan.

The three of them said in unison, "I obey."

"Also, try to spend the money as far as possible in Dali." Lu Songli emphasized that if all the money rushed into the Pingzhou market, wouldn't it be wasted work?

Lu Songli warned, "This must be done quietly, don't do it in a big way! It's best for the three of you to spread out when taking action." Dali's plate was big enough, so I added the cash from their families and scattered it in. It shouldn't cause a big splash.

After explaining the matter clearly and seeing that they had no doubts, Lu Songli let them leave.

Then, she called Cao Huating directly.

Those three of them had the same path, so she wouldn't argue with them. After all, she can't just catch Dali, right? She can't forget their old neighbor, Brother Xianbei.

After Wu Ren, Ji Wuyin, and Gu Huaisheng went out, they went to the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building nearby. The three of them drank tea for a while, divided the territory of their activities in Dali, and then dispersed.

After returning, they began to take action.

When the giants such as Pingzhou Government Office, Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, Ji's Bank, and Gu's Merchant Alliance moved, even though their actions were secretive, they were still noticed by a handful of keen businessmen in Pingzhou.

These people quietly approached Wu Ren or Ji Wuyin or Gu Huaisheng...

Then, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.

…

In Dali, Coriander Village

A young man was hawking at the entrance of the village. He and his people were pulling several carts of Pingzhou specialties, leaving them on the side.

In less than an hour of hawking, half of the items were sold.

An old woman touched the kettle and couldn't put it down. She looked at the group of young people and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, can your kettle be cheaper?"

Meng Yu, the young man who shouted just now, is from Tianshui New Village in Houcheng, Pingzhou. His brother-in-law is Ding Guishan. He moved into Tianshui New Village with his mother because of his brother-in-law's favor.

Children in Tianshui New Village can study. When they grow up, as long as they are not such assholes, they can come out and find a future. He got into the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce through his brother-in-law's relationship. After more than a year of hard work, he is now a small steward.

At this time, Meng Yu saw that the lady really liked the kettle in her hand, blinked his eyes, and had an idea.

There are two types of kettles in Pingzhou. One is made of iron with a glass liner, which is more expensive. The other one has a bamboo outer shell and a glass inner tank, which is cheaper.

The old woman was holding the latter one in her arms at this moment.

"Mom, this kettle is really not expensive."

“Cheaper!”

"It's really no good, aunt. I'm not bragging. Almost every household in Pingzhou has one or two kettles like this."

"This kettle is a must-have in our Pingzhou. The doctors at our Pingzhou Medical Center have said that there are things in the water that we cannot see with the naked eye, and they have always recommended that we drink boiled water."

"We adults live a rough life, so we can just drink raw water. But children have weak stomachs and it is not good to drink raw water. It is so convenient to have a kettle at home. You can take it to the field when you go to the field, and fill it with a bottle in winter. , you can drink it warm at night, don’t you think?”

These words reached the heart of the old woman.

"Brother, can't it be cheaper?"

"Auntie, it really can't be cheaper." Meng Yu said with a bitter face, "We come all the way from Pingzhou to sell goods, and we just earn a hard-earned amount of money to make ends meet."

The old woman really wanted to buy one, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. I want to buy one, but my family has no money."

"I don't have any money. Is there any food? I can exchange it for food."

The old woman looked at the old man who rarely came to the village entrance to join in the fun.

The old man knew what she wanted to say, thought about it and said, "Buy it, the autumn grain will come soon. If not, just borrow some from the village chief's family."

"Okay, I'll borrow some."

When people nearby heard that food could be exchanged for things, they hurriedly asked Meng Yu. After getting a positive answer, they all ran home to get food.

After Meng Yu exchanged the hot water bottle for the aunt, he pretended to be casual and said, "By the way, aunt, I heard that the mountain products in your village are good, can you sell some to me?"

The old woman was holding the kettle and she was in a great mood, "Okay, how much do you want?"

"As many as you can get!"

"Hmm? Young man, don't brag."

"I'm serious. I can buy them with silver. The price will satisfy you."

"What do you want so many mountain products for?"

Meng Yu smiled shyly. "I plan to ship these mountain products to other places to sell."

"You are really good at doing business."

"No way. I have old people and young children to take care of. I earn a little bit."

Such scenes are happening in rural areas all over Dali.

Supplies are exchanged for food, silver is exchanged for supplies, and the exchange is not much. A little here and a little there, and it is exchanged in the countryside.

Fusang

Hearing that someone from Pingzhou has come, Bai Xingzhi hurried to the dock.

This dock was built after they came to Fusang, and soldiers have been sent to guard it.

Guo Chong and Qin Sheng greeted it together, "Xingzhi, long time no see."

"General Qin Sheng, Mr. Guo, you are here." Bai Xingzhi saw several large ships behind them, all of which were full of goods.

"Xingzhi, can I show you some of the good stuff on our ship?"

"Okay." He wanted to see what Pingzhou had brought.

After the tour, Bai Xingzhi said excitedly, "Come on, I'll take you to see the prince."
