Chapter 341
After a while, Lu Bu's team came, not many people, a total of 200 infantrymen, each of whom grew up eating pig iron, tall and strong, with a big knife, all the roadside was full of all, straight and serious, and everyone seemed to have owed him eight hundred stalemates.
Lu Bu came slowly on a red rabbit horse, wearing silk and without armor.
There is no one else in this appearance. It is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, Lu Bu among people, and red rabbit among horses. That is not a waste of time.
The master took two steps and came over to help Lu Bu get off the horse.
"General, you are here."
"Here you come, is Mr. Qiao at home?"
"Wen Hou will inform you later."
In fact, Qiao Xuan was not far from inside. As soon as the master came in, Qiao Gong came out.
Lu Bu looked carefully. Although Qiao Gong in the single room was in his fifties, his face was as beautiful as a jade, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his beard was very carefully taken care of. He could be said to be more beautiful than Pan An. It is extremely rare for a person in his fifties to have this.
A decent dress shows everyone's style.
Gong Qiao only looked at Lu Bu, who is taller than ordinary people.
He is handsome and handsome, only over thirty years old.
Four casual men followed behind him, holding gift boxes.
"See Wenhou."
Gong Qiao led his servants to visit the big gift, and Lu Bu supported him with both hands: "Mr. Qiao asked him to get up, take the liberty to disturb him, and I hope Qiao Gong Haihuan will be here. Today I will mainly discuss business matters with Gong Qiao."
Qiao Xuan thought it was funny. He didn't think that Lu Bu, a general, knew any business, but he couldn't say that, so he quickly invited Lu Bu into the mansion.
In the living room, the host and guests sit down.
Qiao Xuan arranged for tea, but Lu Bu didn't drink it. After all, his eldest son-in-law just died. Whether it was because of Lu Bu or not, it would be considered that Lu Bu was killed, so what should be guarded must be guarded.
Lu Bu stretched out his hand: "Mr. Qiao, here is my marquis who have prepared some fine gifts for you."
In the exquisite mahogany box, there is yellow satin. When opened, it is packed with exquisite glass tea cups. It is crystal clear and transparent, and is even more transparent than the bottle of Dahan Yujiu. There are a total of six glass water cups.
"Is this a crystal cup?"
"That's right, Mr. Qiao has good eyesight."
Qiao Xuan liked it very much and ordered someone to collect the gift.
Lu Bu asked his followers to spread the sheepskin map on the table. The map was a bit big. In addition to the great man and Japan, there were many places that had never been heard of.
Lu Bu pointed to the place of Jinling City on the map, and pointed to a continent in the southeast.
"There is a huge piece of land here, which is as big as the Great Man, but it is sparsely populated. There are iron ore, gold ore, and silver ore everywhere. The pastures that cannot be seen at a glance are just raised and cattle and sheep are waiting to be harvested. Hundreds of millions of acres of land and hundreds of millions of acres of grassland, as long as they occupy the place, they can't finish eating beef and mutton."
Qiao Xuan was confused, just like listening to the heavenly books. Qiao Xuan had been to business in his early years and had been to most of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, but he had never been to the place mentioned by Lu Bu.
"What's the name of the place Wen Hou said?"
"There are rats here, more than one person tall. The horse's head and human hands are the best at jumping. It's several feet away, so it's named the Rat Jump State."
Qiao Xuan was thinking, what Lu Bu said should be true, there was once such a record on the Shanhai Jing.
Moreover, Lu Bu holds heavy troops, even if you have a large family, you are not as big as Lu Bu's soldiers, so Lu Bu cannot come just to make a joke.
"Wen Hou meant to develop this place? It is not easy to transport cattle and sheep back after raising them?"
Lu Bu shook his head: "Just raise cattle and sheep and eat it there, why do you have to transport it back? Let's go and drive mountains of gold and silver, and make valuable things."
"Then how far is this place from us?"
"It takes about seven or eight thousand miles, and a large sailboat with a deep draft to sail for about three months before it can reach it."
"Building large ships is not a problem, but the wind is seasonal. That year, it was just a round trip, and it was not easy to go back and forth. And I heard that there were many bandits on the sea, robbing merchant ships."
"Pirates are not a problem. If you go, you will have at least dozens or hundreds of large ships, 10,000 or 20,000 people, equipped with crossbows, bows and arrows, why are you afraid of pirates?"
Qiao Xuan was a little worried: "The type of ship we use is not suitable for the ocean, and it is prone to danger. To sail the ocean, we must build a new type of ship."
"This is natural. There must be a large ship suitable for the deep sea in the long-distance voyage. We can first trade with Japan to accumulate sailing experience, and then cultivate excellent sailors, and then go to the Rat State to jump."
The master couldn't help but praise him. When most people focused on a city and a place, Lu Bu's eyes were already overseas.
"Wen Hou has a profound vision, and it is not comparable to us."
At this time, Xiao Qiao was tired of playing from the garden and actually came to the living room.
It is only 29 years old, and the country is beautiful and beautiful, which is indeed very comparable to people.
Xiao Qiao sneaked into Lu Bu. What a majestic man. Although he was an uncle, he was still handsome and handsome.
You should know that Lu Bu was very romantic and not only knows how to fight, but also good at music and poetry.
People in Xuzhou often say that there is a mistake in the song, and Wen Hou Gu.
"A guest is here at home."
Qiao Xuan scolded: "Nonsai, this is Marquis Wen and General Lu, so I haven't met General yet."
Xiao Qiao was so scared that she stuck out her tongue and hurriedly saluted: "Little woman, please see General."
Lu Bu quickly helped him with his hands: "No need for too much politeness."
Xiao Qiao surrendered to his father, and Lu Bu stretched out his hand behind him: "Suddenly I remembered that I have a glass mirror here, and I don't know if Ling Ai likes it."
Lu Bu took a glass mirror and never sold it much. Although it was not valuable, it was a rare treasure at that time.
Qiao Xuan took it and saw that his hands were shaking and almost fell to the ground. It turned out that he looked like this, which was much clearer than that in the bronze mirror.
Xiao Qiao took it and saw it, oh, it was too clear, with bright eyes and white teeth.
Xiao Qiao felt like he had a treasure, and his little face turned red suddenly.
It's a big problem for men and women to give each other things.
But Xiao Qiao really liked this baby so much that she ran back to the back house with her.
After Lu Bu finished his imagination of external development, it was Qiao Xuan's turn.
Qiao Xuan thought about developing his business to the north, but Lu Bu agreed immediately.
"The northern states have relaxed their businesses. As long as they do not touch prohibited prohibited products, they can do business casually. Apart from paying taxes according to the regulations, anyone who dares to eat or get a card will come to me."
Qiao Xuan's caravan has also been to Xuzhou, but Sun Ce and Xuzhou are a big grudge, so Qiao Xuan is not going to be too close. Instead, some small caravans secretly do business with Xuzhou and make a fortune.
"General, can Xuzhou's cotton cloth, ironware, and daily necessities be handed over to our store."
"There are no major commercial banks in the south yet, so of course you can hand them over to your commercial banks. But you won't just find one, at least about three or four."
