Chapter 1348 Selling Materials (2)

"Then why did they say that? Are they uneasy and kind?" Zhou Wen asked, he didn't think the two majors would kindly remind everyone.

Dio said with a smile: "They are really kind. You must know that abroad, no one will care how many servants you have, but in China, armed soldiers who have more than the number of personal guards are rebels, and they want to ransack their homes and exterminate their families."

"The two majors are reminding us that it is best to only have one hundred and thirteen sets of weapons, otherwise the adults will be in trouble."

"Ah, there is such a rule? What about the other servants?" Zhou Wen, Sun Jie, and Zhao Hu were all stunned. They never knew that the empire had such a rule.

Diou said with a relaxed expression: "It's very simple, just explain to the public that they are servants who are slaves. After all, slaves are private property, and Huai will care how many wealthy households you take out?"

"Besides, the identity of a servant soldier is just an armed slave, and they all have the same identity."

Hearing this, everyone was relieved. Anyway, slave is just a name, and it is impossible for outsiders to know that adults don't regard them as slaves at all.

As for the extra weapons, everyone seemed indifferent. Xianjie’s words expressed everyone’s aspirations: “Those weapons can be thrown away and sold. Anyway, after turning over the weapons in stock from the Fifth Brigade, what we have now is all It’s the tatters seized on the grassland, and few of them are considered good at all.”

After Diou finished expressing his opinion, he asked Zhao Hu for instructions: "My lord, what do you think we should do?"

Although I know that everyone will definitely agree with my opinion, but I still have to ask for instructions. Self-assessment is a taboo for subordinates.

Zhao Hu nodded and said: "Each person left two horses and about two months' food and grass, and one hundred and thirteen sets of sabers, bows and arrows for weapons, and sell the rest. I will leave this matter to you. gone."

"Yes, my subordinates must sell this batch of supplies for the best price."

After Diou took the order, he immediately began to assign tasks: "Sun Jie, take someone to the city to find out if anyone around here needs our supplies, and in the future, we will automatically ask for information wherever we go. After all, we can't just be in one place. A single place cannot absorb so many of our supplies."

"Zhou Wen, you take someone to pick two of the best war horses for each of us to keep, and I will be responsible for counting the supplies."

Hearing Diou's departure, Zhou Wen pulled Liu Bin and left.

Sun Jie also got busy immediately, and the forgotten Locke and Luo Fei could only work as guards by Zhao Hu's side, just like Heilang.

In this way, Zhao Hu started selling supplies while walking.

Among Zhao Hu's supplies, war horses were the best sellers. These war horses were carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of horses, and any fool could see that the imperial army horses were nothing compared to them.

Dio only slightly revealed his intention to sell war horses, and the local nobles, merchants, and military officers flocked to buy them. The price of a hundred gold coins per horse, no one countered the price at all, and judging by the expressions of these buyers, it seemed that this The price is the same as the white check.

If it hadn't been revealed earlier that the two thousand-mile horses were a gift to the marshal, and if there were no prominent nobles in these border provinces, these twenty thousand-mile horses would have been forcibly bought by the dignitaries a long time ago.

Seeing the excitement of these buyers, Dio knew how many gold coins those smugglers with prominent status, who smuggled back and forth between the grassland and the empire, had earned. After slapping myself, I could only grit my teeth and admit it.

When the local garrison got the news and came to the door, most of the more than [-] war horses that were brought out for sale had already disappeared. Originally, the local garrison wanted to buy all the remaining [-] war horses in one go, but Rejected by Dio.

One is that the military procurement personnel not only offer low prices, but also ask for kickbacks, and the other is that there are a large number of dignitaries who have heard the news and are waiting to buy. It is better to offend the military procurement personnel than to offend so many dignitaries. After all, I am only a temporary cameo Businessmen only.

Most of the people who snapped up war horses were officers and nobles, and those who snapped up huge carriages were all businessmen. The price of these carriages was a little higher than that of war horses. One sold for [-] gold coins, but at this price Dio was very unhappy, because in the prairie, the price of this carriage is definitely several times more expensive than that of a war horse. I didn't expect this carriage to be so worthless in the empire.

And the third most valuable ones are those furs that were originally bought as a gift. At first, Dio didn't care, and planned to sell them all at once to the merchant.

However, Zhou Wen's instinct was completely female, and he used the ability to surprise men to easily divide the fur into grades. Except for a few super furs to be used as gifts, all others were sold according to grades. I don't know how many times the gold coins are higher.

In this regard, Dio has no choice but to bow down.

As for those spare weapons, there was really no other way, and they were sold to weapon shops at a low price like scrap iron, which was equivalent to getting some pocket money.

Among these materials, the most worthless and unsalable ones were food and grass.

In fact, it's not that they can't be sold, but the price is half sell and half free, not even one-third of the market price. Diou, who is so cheap, had to ask Zhao Hu for instructions, and left ten carriages to carry two of them. One month's expenses, and everything else is given to the poor for nothing.

Anyway, it's worthless, so it's better to expand the popularity of adults.

Sure enough, as Diou thought, most of the poor in Vinci Province knew a philanthropist named Zhao Hu.

The matter of Zhao Hu selling supplies along the way, of course, spread to the ears of the generals in the Wenxi Provincial Guard Division who knew her, including the head of the first brigade, and they all laughed it off indifferently.

The reason why they are so indifferent is that they don't think Zhao Hu's batch of materials can be exchanged for how many gold coins, and the second is that gold coins are not what general officers like them are after at all.

In this way, Zhao Hu and his party sold supplies everywhere without any hindrance. When they left Wenxi Province, compared with the fact that they left the military camp, Zhao Hu's group was like a heaven and an earth.

With ten carriages, [-] horses, and seven hundred people, Zhao Hu and his party walked on the land not only without the attention of everyone, but also at a much faster speed.

On the way, Dio secretly told Zhao Hu a number: 75 gold coins.This amount of money is enough to load a huge carriage full.

Hearing this figure, even Zhao Hu, who once owned a large amount of gold coins, was taken aback. With such a simple sale of supplies, he got a military salary equivalent to a month of a regular division. Is it true that business is so profitable? ?

Zhao Hu kept in mind the fact that business can get a lot of money in his heart. Zhao Hu, who has been the logistics officer of the army for more than half a year and manages all kinds of trivial affairs in the daily life of the entire army, is not as indifferent to money as he used to be.

Even a sage, as long as he serves as a grassroots logistics officer for a period of time, he will also understand the importance of money.

Zhao Hu, who understands this, also understands that he knows nothing about capital operation and investment methods. Although Diou seems to have a half-knowledge about capital investment, he is better than himself, so Zhao Hu does not hesitate. So many gold coins are handed over to Dio for management. Anyway, if you want money, you can just get it from Dio.

Dio, who accepted the order, did not shirk. He has long positioned himself as the steward of Mr. Zhao Hu. It is his task to help Mr. Zhao Hu manage his assets. For this day, he has learned some methods of capital operation. Waiting for myself to try carefully.

Zhao Hu and his group quickly left the border of Wenxi Province with a cart full of gold coins, and then with the help of the greatly reduced team and the certificate issued by the commander of the lieutenant general, Zhao Hu and his group were finally allowed to stay in the city up.

However, Zhao Hu still attracts the attention of the world. Think about a small major with 130 guards and nearly 600 entourages. Not only does everyone have two tall horses, but there are also ten huge horses to carry their belongings. , what's more, directly book accommodation in the best and largest hotel in the city. If you were a coward, what would you think of this major?

Therefore, the dignitaries who came to the door in an endless stream made Zhao Hu look haggard.

And Dio wanted to slap himself in the busy process of being greeted and sent off. Who told him to propose going to the city to stay in order to show compassion for his lord?

If you go to the city to stay, you will stay in the city. Why remind everyone that you don't care about money at all, so that everyone decides that everyone will go to the city?

Knowing that the adults are sympathetic to his subordinates, it is absolutely impossible for him to live in a luxurious hotel and others to find a place to hide. This is not the trouble that he caused, who else could have caused it?
Although Zhao Hu has repeatedly stated that he has no prominent status, the dignitaries simply don't believe that a major with no background can bring so many people to Beijing to wait for the canonization of the territory so ostentatiously?Go ahead and lie to the ghosts, "You must know that even the most lucrative major-level officer's territory, the annual income is not enough for him to pay for one night's accommodation.

Because of this misunderstanding, Zhao Hu didn't shirk the invitation to the banquet from the dignitaries until Zhao Hu put out the reasons of being tired from the journey and running out of time with a tired face.

When night fell, everyone could finally take a breath. Dio, who had already slumped on the chair, said guiltily to Zhao Hu, who was pinching his brows: "My lord, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to attract so many people." .”

Hei Lang, who had been hiding all the time and didn't come out to breathe until now, couldn't help snorting at Dio to express his dissatisfaction.

Zhao Hu shook his head and smiled helplessly: "It's not your fault, I asked to book the hotel."
