The troops of Junwei Trading Company basically rely on looting for their weapons and armor at this stage.
When an army is defeated, the people can be released, but the armor, weapons and horses must be kept.
The problem is that the war itself will cause losses. Many armors and weapons will be damaged after the war. If you want to increase the number of soldiers in the future, you will eventually have to have your own supply of weapons and equipment.
Miao Yuzhen saw this.
She discovered that the goods that Junwei Trading Company extorted from large customers were actually used for business. It was equivalent to taking goods from other warehouses and selling them in her own trading company at a low price. However, their army needs were not actually solved.
There is no "supply chain" of its own.
Even Junwei Trading Company has not solved this problem - it is expanding too fast. Luo Jiaqiu is so busy with Junwei Trading Company that he has no time to take care of the escorts and mercenaries.
Now it's really all about grabbing.
That is to say, Zhuo Junyan's troops must focus on quality rather than quantity to maintain them. If they expand wildly, they will not be able to meet the demand by looting.
But Miao Yu is such a smart woman, she immediately realized that Zhuo Junyan could not continue like this.
Even if he doesn't become king, he still has to have his own organization and supplies, and it's even less likely that he will catch Junwei Trading Company out for dinner, but there must be some separation.
So the condition she proposed was to be responsible for the supply of armor for the Royal Trading Company's escort team.
And this is different from the supply from Junwei Trading Company - Junwei Trading Company dares to force major companies to supply at low prices because it is not afraid of you giving defective products. I am here to be picky about food.
But special supply is different. This is a long-term cooperation and customization. It is necessary for the other party to make a profit. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and some defective products are produced, it will be troublesome.
This job is profitable!
Widow Miao is smart. If you want me, the Zhong family, to give you a thousand bolts of fabric every year at a low price, then I will take over a profitable business from you to balance it.
This made Zhuo Junyan happy.
He said: "Interesting and thoughtful, I have begun to think that you are a valuable woman. You are smart and brainy, and you are willing to give and dare to make bets. No wonder you can become the head of the family."
Hearing this, Miao Yuzhen's pretty face blushed slightly and said to the servant next to her: "Get out."
The servants quickly backed away.
Zhuo Junyan squinted at her, and sure enough, Miao Yuzhen closed the door first, then walked forward and came to Zhuo Junyan's side. A pair of jade arms had been placed on Zhuo Junyan's hands. They were delicate and smooth, as soft as boneless, and light.
I tried brushing it with my hand, but it seemed to be in my heart.
I feel a bit itchy.
Miao Yuzhen smiled and said in a long tone: "Your Majesty..."
Zhuo Junyan said playfully: "Is this how you do business?"
There was a trace of shame and anger on Miao Yuzhen's face, and she felt unwilling and even more helpless:
I bowed my head and wept pitifully, feeling really aggrieved: "I am a woman and a widow. To survive in this world, a widow may only have this to rely on. But not everyone is worthy of me. Since your Majesty despises Yu,
real……"
Zhuo Junyan interrupted her: "I didn't mean that. In fact, on the contrary, it's very good."
What?
Miao Yuzhen looked at him in confusion.
Zhuo Junyan raised her pointed chin and looked into the pair of spring eyes: "There are many beautiful girls around me, but I have never touched them. Do you know why?"
Miao Yuzhen shook her head gently, and the hairpin on her head swayed along with it, which was very pleasing to the eye.
I didn't even know you'd never met a girl here before.
Zhuo Junyan said: "People like me are destined to die hard. They are all good girls, why should we harm others."
Miao Yuzhen lowered his head: "I see. I didn't expect that the famous Zhuo Sha Shen also has a gentle and considerate side."
As she spoke, she smiled: "But I'm different. I'm not a good girl, and I don't need anyone to be responsible for me."
Miao Yuzhen originally thought that Zhuo Junyan's previous words were meant to humiliate herself, but now she knew that what he wanted was a woman like this.
In this case, it doesn't matter whether you are that kind of person or not, what's important is that you must be now!
Zhuo Junyan nodded: "That's right. I don't seek true love, and I don't want a lady. But I am a man, and a man with some power and status. For a person like me, naturally I can't wrong myself too much! When I have fire, I need to vent my desire.
It needs to be vented. It’s not about true love, it’s just about the occasion.”
Miao Yuzhen had already leaned over, but Zhuo Junyan did not give a proper reaction. He just said with a cold look: "Where did the material come from?"
Miao Yuzhen's soft body stiffened slightly.
She understands.
Zhuo Junyan was not attracted by her, or in other words, he was only attracted by lust but not by emotion. Everything was just like a transaction and there was no talk of feelings.
It's just that this expression was so cold, Miao Yuzhen couldn't even see the slightest trace of lust in his eyes.
That’s it, if you can’t see love, you can’t even see desire?
Isn’t it possible that your desire comes and goes when you call it?
Miao Yuzhen sighed: "There is a small mine on the southern outskirts of the city. It belongs to my Zhong family. The ore obtained there is refined into it."
"Is the ore different from the others?"
"This thing is called Stardust Iron. It is made from the essence of heaven and earth. There is only one piece of it."
"Just one piece? You mean this armor is made from just one piece of ore?"
Miao Yuzhen nodded: "It was a big piece. After being broken open, it automatically gathered together. That's why I realized that this iron was extraordinary and made it into a treasure armor. After asking about it later, I found out the name of this iron. Unfortunately, it was there.
After that, I never met him again."
Zhuo Junyan lowered his head and thought for a moment, picked up his armor, and was about to speak when he saw Yingning pushing the door open and rushing in: "Lord!"
Zhuo Junyan's face darkened: "Why are you here? Do you understand the rules?"
Miao Yuzhen hurriedly stepped away from Zhuo Junyan and stood with her head bowed.
Ying Ning's face was filled with tears: "My lord, I was kidnapped unintentionally!"
"What did you say?" Zhuo Junyan was startled.
It turned out that just last night, Ji Tianhao came to Yancheng and raided Zhuo Mansion.
Although the Zhuo Mansion left a few guards, their strength was average, and the key point was that they did not expect that anyone would dare to cause trouble for Zhuo Junyan.
Jin Wuxin was no match for Ji Tianhao and was caught on the spot. Not even Yingning could stop him.
Now that he understood the situation, Zhuo Junyan was also surprised.
Why did you catch Jin Wuxin?
The ones I stayed at Zhuo Mansion were Shen Zhengyuan, Catherine, and Yingning.
Which of these beings is not more valuable than Jin Wuxin?
Do you have to arrest him?
He asked: "Is everything okay with Catherine?"
For him, Catherine is the most valuable asset left in Rock City. Fortunately, no one knows her importance.
Yingning shook her head: "She's fine."
Zhuo Junyan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I understand the matter. You can go down."
"Lord..." Yingning shouted.
Zhuo Junyan's face sank, and his scarred face became threatening: "That's enough! You don't need to tell me what to do. Da Biao!"
Geng Dabiao strode in: "Lord!"
Zhuo Junyan glared at him fiercely: "Yingning barged in, didn't you see it?"
Geng Dabiao scratched his head: "She said Jin Wuxin was arrested and was anxious to see you, so I..."
Zhuo Junyan smacked the armrest angrily: "Zhente mother is used to having no rules. Yingning broke into the door without warning, took her down, and kept her in confinement for seven days. And you, for neglecting your duties, you will be beaten with twenty sticks and fined one salary."
Yue. If you do it again next time, the punishment will be doubled!"
Then he threw the armor in his hand to Geng Dabiao: "Send twenty Black Turtle soldiers, twenty Star Tiger soldiers, and twenty gunmen to return this thing to Zhuo Mansion and hand it over to Miss Catherine, and then garrison Zhuo Mansion to protect Miss Catherine.
This is the supreme order. Remember, Zhuo Mansion can live without it, but Miss Catherine and her laboratory will never allow any problems!"
The lord was angry, and Geng Dabiao was also startled. He quickly dragged Ying Ning out with his armor, and comforted him along the way: "Don't worry, brother Jin is also a person who is used to being caught. He will be fine."
Ying Ning refused to leave, crying and looking at Zhuo Junyan. She didn't care about being imprisoned, she just cared about Jin Wuxin.
Seeing her like this, Zhuo Junyan sighed, took out another object and threw it to Geng Dabiao: "Jin Wuxin was captured by Ji Tianhao, and he will probably go to see Yan Luoqing. Give this to Weiyang, she knows how to use it."
Geng Dabiao caught him, pushed Yingning out, and closed the door.
There was a crackling sound of military sticks outside the hall.
Zhuo Junyan's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Miao Yuzhen: "Am I a little too cold-blooded?"
Miao Yuzhen hugged Zhuo Junyan with her jade arms, and slowly snuggled into Zhuo Junyan's body. Her slightly hoarse voice added a bit of special temptation: "I have never seen your cold-blooded slave, but your warm-bloodedness, I'm afraid
I want the slave family to have it all..."
This woman is like a demon!
This woman is like a snake!
Demons are inherently evil creatures, and snakes are cold-blooded beasts.
Nowadays, there are evil demons that induce passion and turn into water snakes to summon fire dragons.
Zhuo Junyan aroused his demon heart and transformed into a snake catcher, which shook the sky and brought about boundless wind and rain.
