As long as you have money, is there any problem with everything else? No problem!
Besides, this Taixue belongs to his partner Lu Yu, this wine is brewed by the winery in Taixue, and this land belongs to his eldest brother Cao Cao. He wants to occupy these four markets, so there is no problem at all.
Even if he took another ten thousand steps back, wouldn't Lord Manfu come yet? How could he not know about such a big movement?
He won't come...
Hehe, this means a lot!
Cao Hong knew very well the relationship between Lu Yu and Man Chong.
His eyes were blinking continuously, and he had a feeling that he was going to make a fortune in this liquor business!
actually…
Man Chong had been here a long time ago. As Xu Duling, after receiving the report, he immediately rushed to the small mountain village on the bank of the Ying River and on the side of Taixue with his government servants.
He originally heard that Cao Hong was bullying the market, and he was ready to teach him a lesson, but when he inquired again, he found out that the wine Cao Hong sold was brewed by Taixue, and Taixue was under the jurisdiction of Lu Sinong.
So…
If you think about it with your toes, you will know that this business must be a cooperation between General Cao Hong and Lu Sinong.
For this iron-faced judge, if it is Cao Hong, he should be brought to justice to serve as a warning to others.
But if Lu Sinong was involved, that would be another story.
Lu Sinong had the kindness to meet him!
It is no exaggeration to say that his current status in Man Chong is all because of Lu Sinong's support.
With such kindness? How could he cut off Lu Sinong's financial path?
Haha, Manchong murmured in his heart, General Cao Hong's wine sales are really impeccable.
"Master Manfu, this General Cao Hong is getting more and more troublesome, why don't we take action to take care of it?"
An officer reminded me.
It stands to reason that as soon as these words came out of his mouth, Man Chong would often give an order to tie up these bullies and put them in prison to bring them to justice!
Who would have thought that today's Man Chong is out of character.
"Control? Control it for what? This mountain village is adjacent to Taixue. It is so prosperous because of Taixue. If Taixue doesn't care about it, why should we care about it?"
Manchong's face sank, and she glared at the yamen servant fiercely.
The yamen servant shivered all over.
Other government officials also subconsciously realized something. What does it mean that Taixue doesn't care about it? Why should we care about it?
When was Xu Duling afraid of being too imitative?
This reason is simply not valid!
This is clearly because Manfujun doesn’t want to take care of it!
After thinking about this, the officials quickly changed their minds.
"What Mr. Manfu said is true. There are so many unfair things in the world. We can't take care of them in many capital cities. How can we take care of other people's Imperial College territory!"
"Mr. Manfu, let's go back. There are still a lot of cases in the government office that need to be heard by Mr. Manfu!"
"Yes, yes! Go back, go back! It's so cold here, I really want to buy some strong liquor!"
Echoing again and again…
Hearing this, Man Chong's frosty cheek finally showed a hint of joy.
"Leave a group of government officials behind, and the rest will go back home!"
In a nutshell...Man Chong turned around and left.
This is very weird.
You know, since he was appointed Xu Duling, there has never been a precedent of not taking action, not arresting people, and returning empty-handed.
Some young government officials are still a little confused.
"This...what does it mean to leave one team behind?"
An old government official stroked his beard and explained. "Idiot, didn't you see that these businessmen are so excited? Haha, if there are any unscrupulous people who dare to destroy this wine business, they will all be arrested and interrogated severely.
Be a warning!"
Ah...ah...
After saying this, all the government officials first exclaimed, and then were impressed. Sure enough, ginger is still very spicy!
"Brother, can you tell me? Why did Manfu Lord go easy on General Cao Hong this time?"
Some young government officials came to the old government officials' side.
Who would have thought that at this time, the old yamen servant waved his hand and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. No one will do anything to his benefactor!"
In a nutshell…
What everyone heard was in confusion.
However, Cao Hong's "bullying and domination of the market" continued. The merchants who were coming and going were shocked, and their faces turned pale. General Cao Hong's business was to make other businessmen have no way out.
"Lu Sinong..." Cao Hong looked at this great wealth and turned his head to look at Lu Yu with a smile.
"What's wrong?"
"I have an idea." Cao Hong put his mouth to Lu Yu's ear. "The four cities in the east, south, west, and north are so big, but we don't have that many drinks!"
Cao Hong deliberately showed a hint of embarrassment...
"What does General Cao mean? Let's go out and do some shopping? Let everyone be harmonious and make money?" Lu Yu asked back.
Unexpectedly, when he blurted out these words, Cao Hong kept shaking his head.
"Only a fool would give in. It's shameless... No, since we occupy it, there's no reason to let it out."
"I'm just thinking about it. We won't be able to use up all of them tomorrow anyway, so why not... let's raise the price on the ground and rent out every stall. They can also set up stalls if they want. They have to put out a certain amount of coins every day, and they pay every day! Lu Si
Nong, what do I think of this idea? But let’s agree first, in this rental market, we can’t divide it 30-70, but 50-50!”
hehe…
Cao Hong's words immediately made Lu Yu "haha"!
He looked at Cao Hong in great surprise.
Just looking at it like this made Cao Hong quite nervous, and he scratched his head.
"What's going on? Lu Sinong thinks I'm a little too shameless!"
"No..." Lu Yu waved his hand directly and patted Cao Hong on the shoulder. "You are such a talented girl!"
Suddenly, Lu Yu felt that it was a pleasure to cooperate with Cao Hong!
The first is that his products are good, and the second is that Cao Hong is shameless. As the saying goes - only quick martial arts in the world are invincible, but shameless people are invincible!
even…
For a moment, Lu Yu thought about it, but he couldn't guarantee it all... With a money-hungry governor like Cao Hong, the income from the "righteous way" in the future will exceed that of the "evil way" tomb robbers!
Cao Hong is really a special talent!
Fifty-five points, this time it will be easier for him.
…
…
Next to Taixue, the forging workshop!
After visiting the market, Lu Yu directly walked into the forging workshop!
The forging shop in Xu Ducheng was different from that in Luoyang. Luoyang was established in the city, while the forging shop in Xu Ducheng was built directly around Taixue.
This is Lu Yu's suggestion. Opening the forging workshop here will make it easier for Tai students to study this "Baigong" course!
It also facilitates Lu Yu’s guidance to Cao Mu.
Of course, now... With Cao Mu's forging skills, who will guide whom?
Not necessarily yet!
"How's it going?" Seeing Cao Mu, Lu Yu got straight to the point.
The so-called "how" is to ask how the forging progress of Mo Dao and Spear is.
Cao Mu pursed his lips, but after hearing Lu Yu's question, he could only spread his hands.
"The spear is okay, but the Mo Dao..."
Mentioning the Mo Dao, Cao Mu seemed to have something to say. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you know...how much fine iron is needed to forge a Mo Dao?"
"How much?" Lu Yu didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were.
"How can I tell you!" Cao Mu rolled his eyes. "Let's put it this way, the iron used to make one Mo Dao can be used to forge more than thirty new spears of yours."
Huo...is there such a big difference?
Lu Yu paused slightly. The reason why Mo Dao was so powerful was known in history books as "when Mo Dao comes out, both men and horses will be shattered."
That's because it is made entirely of fine steel, and this fine steel needs to be tempered repeatedly with fine iron. Even the blades on it... are extremely sharp in forging.
Compared with the "new spear" Lu Yu wanted to forge, it would naturally consume more materials.
But...the difference was so huge, Lu Yu didn't expect it.
That…
Lu Yu simply asked.
"Then according to your opinion, today's forges probably don't have the conditions to mass-produce Mo Dao, right?"
"Not even close." Cao Mu answered truthfully.
"What about the spears? Create a spear army of three thousand people? Is there any problem?"
Lu Yu then asked...
When he asked this question, he was thinking of the three thousand infantry regiment in Le Jin's hands!
To deal with the cavalry!
The effect of the spear soldiers, simple sword soldiers, and halberd soldiers is not very good, the Mo sword cannot be used, and the number of dragon knights is limited, so don't we need an exclusive spear regiment!
Anyone who has played "Three Kingdoms" and "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" will have this common sense: plain swordsmen defeat archers, pikemen defeat cavalry, halberd soldiers defeat pike soldiers, and cavalry defeats simple swordsmen!
Although it may not be accurate, it is still stable that pikemen are very effective against cavalry.
"Three thousand? That much?"
Cao Mu blinked, this is a big project!
"Just tell me, how long will it take to complete it?" Lu Yu asked directly, not forgetting to add. "If there is a shortage of iron, you don't have to worry, I will find a solution!"
Lu Yu was thinking of Xiapi City, which is rich in iron and iron. As long as the plan goes well, Yang Xiu can complete the task, and Lao Cao can capture Xiapi City, the amount of iron and iron required by the forge will be guaranteed.
Besides, the forge still has a certain amount of iron reserves.
Cao Mu hesitated for a moment...
She even took out her pen and made some calculations on the bamboo slips.
After a long time, she finally said: "If we really don't consider the issue of iron and steel, we can complete the forging of 3,000 new-style spears in three months!"
"Three thousand are not enough." Lu Yu shook his head. "At least six thousand are needed!"
That's right, a spear... and it's a wooden spear, so it consumes it very quickly.
It is very likely that before charging, the soldiers need to throw their spears first... to cause a series of damage to the opponent first!
The second round is the charge where the bayonet is red!
This method of throwing spears is particularly effective against cavalry...
Therefore…
Every soldier must be equipped with at least two spears!
"Then... six months!" Cao Mu blurted out directly.
"Six months is too long. It cannot catch up with the Battle of Wancheng." Lu Yu replied without thinking...
"Wancheng?" Cao Mu had a series of question marks on his head. As Cao Cao's daughter, how could she not know that what she wanted to fight now was Xiapi City, Guangling City, Xuzhou...
What does Wancheng mean?
Well…
This made Lu Yu a little embarrassed.
"Don't ask about this. All in all, Wancheng's enemies... are all cavalry, and their general is known as the Spear King of the North. Without these six thousand spears, even if your father can defeat them, the losses will definitely be huge.
big!"
this…
Mentioning Cao Cao, mentioning losses.
Cao Mu's face suddenly became serious. "Then... four months, this is already the limit of the forging workshop!"
"Sure!" Lu Yu nodded immediately. "I'll come to check and accept it in four months!"
In a word, Lu Yu waved his hands and planned to leave.
"you…"
Cao Mu exhaled. She was also drunk. Every time Lu Yu came here, it was like giving orders. It was more like going to a brothel or a brothel. After finishing things, he just left. Why can't he stay and talk about other things?
But...
For the sake of her father and the overall situation, she, Cao Mu, must accept Lu Yu's "giving orders."
Drunk, Cao Mu was really drunk.
Looking at Lu Yu's leaving figure, Cao Mu bit his lip tightly with his teeth.
"It happens again...it happens every time!"
…
…
Walking across the single-plank bridge of Taixue, I passed by the Taixue Stone Scripture with gold characters.
——The emperor's assistant and the pillar of the country!
Eight big characters suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes...
However, Lu Yu's mind was not on this at all at the moment. He was thinking as he walked, still thinking about the three thousand infantry regiment in Le Jin's hands.
Suddenly, the weapons of this regiment changed drastically. They originally used halberds, swords, broadswords and other powerful weapons, but now they use light and agile spears!
How to convince them?
Who will train them?
Lu Yu looked at his hands. They were a pair of hands with a combat power of only five. A bag of rice couldn't resist those on the fifth floor! He dared to teach, but would anyone dare to learn?
It seems that the promotion of this new type of long gun is a big problem!
While thinking about it, Lu Yu walked towards Le Jin's military class.
To build three thousand pikemen, you still need to consult General Le Jin for his opinion.
It just so happens…
From a distance, we could see that in the martial arts arena, Le Jin was leading thirty students to practice here, just like they were training new recruits.
And Le Jin's loud voice came out one after another.
"In "The Art of War", Sun Wu believes that a general should possess five virtues: advance without seeking fame, retreat without avoiding sin, only protect the people, and benefit the Lord."
"You are young and energetic, and it is inevitable that you will show off your courage on the battlefield. But let me tell you, fighting alone can neither lead an army nor win a battle. I am here to train generals, not soldiers. If you don't want to be a general,
Then you don’t have to show up in my class anymore!”
Speaking of which…
Le Jin suddenly raised his voice and started now. "Practical drill - siege the city!"
It turns out that Le Jin is different from the previous military teachers...
He doesn't know any theory, he only knows the practice of leading troops.
So, Cao Ang, Xia Houheng, and Xia Houba were divided into two teams, one for the siege team and the other for the defender team. They taught them the knowledge of siege and defense through practical simulations.
Xiahou Ba, Cao Ang, Dianman, Xu Yi and other fifteen people chose to attack the city, while Zhuge Jun, Huang Xu, Xiahouheng and other fifteen people chose to defend the city.
As the saying goes, it is easy to defend a city but difficult to attack it, but in Le Jin's view, as long as the attackers persevere, it is often the defender who ends up in danger. Le Jin understands this very well.
The war is coming...
Le Jin called Xiahou Ba, Cao Ang and others aside to give his final instructions and mobilization before the war - "As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, there is no city that cannot be conquered."
Later, he called Zhuge Jun, Huang Xu and others aside, and was also giving his final instructions and mobilization - "As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, there is no city that cannot be defended!"
Speaking of which…
Taixue's martial arts arena was built according to a small city gate.
This is because Lu Yu considered talking about war on paper, which is a taboo for military strategists!
Therefore, when designing this martial arts arena in advance, I asked Guo Jia for his opinion, and spent a lot of money to build a small grand pass, city tower, and city wall. Although it was a little lower, these elements were already in place!
Lu Yu's purpose is to enable the students to practice in practice.
Now, Le Jin's troops...
Ah no, it was Le Jin's teaching method that made Lu Yu feel particularly pleased.
Originally, he came to discuss the spear camp with him, but Lu Yu couldn't help but want to see the offensive and defensive battle between the Tai students.
Besides, too much of a student...
He is just a young master in his teens, he is young and energetic, his blood rushes when he hears a fight, and he has no lack of training in fighting and grappling.
This time, the siege was about to begin, and everyone charged forward...especially Xiahou Ba, who never said anything about the word "fear", and took the lead and climbed the city wall. He never thought...On the city tower, Zhuge Jun and Huang
Xia Houheng and others worked together to hit him with long wooden poles. They actually knocked him down from a height of ten meters, causing him serious injuries.
While everyone was screaming...
Xiahou Ba struggled to get up and wanted to continue climbing the city wall. He refused to admit defeat, but... his arm had been dislocated.
Cao Ang on the side quickly shouted: "General, it's not good... Zhong Quan's arm is broken."
The words came out of my mouth...
After all, Lu Yu who was not far away was startled when he saw it, but Le Jin, who was standing on the tower inspecting the city, remained calm and composed.
He quickly put down a hemp rope from the city, followed the hemp rope, stepped on the city wall, and reached Xiahou Ba's side almost in an instant.
At this moment, Xiahou Ba is already leaning on the city wall...
It hurt so much that big beads of sweat fell down from my forehead.
Le Jin skillfully touched Xiahou Ba's arm and pulled it away. He only heard a "bah" sound and the arm had returned to its original position. Le Jin patted Xiahou Ba's shoulder and shouted: -
—
--"continue!
In short, Le Jin grabbed the hemp rope and climbed the city again, not forgetting to tell Xiahou Ba:
"I train generals, not soldiers! Think about your stupid behavior just now, where did you go wrong?"
Hearing this…
Xiahou Ba wiped his painful right shoulder, feeling aggrieved and sad. He took a shuddering breath of cold air from his nostrils, stood up immediately, and joined the battle with countless imperial students who were attacking the city.
finally…
Half an hour later, this simulated siege battle came to an end.
The city was defended...
In this siege, Xiahou Ba, who took the lead, was only given a "poor" comment by Le Jin!
Xiahou Ba was not convinced and went to Le Jin to argue.
"I heard that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was able to sweep through the six counties of Jiangdong because he took the lead in every battle and took the lead in the charge! Therefore, the morale of the three armies was high and they were invincible in every attack!"
"If so, if we as generals are afraid of death, how can we ask our soldiers to pay the price with their lives for the war?"
Xiahou Ba's words were so loud that even Lu Yu who was not far away could hear them clearly.
Never thought...
Le Jin snorted coldly, his tone deeper and higher!
"If you want to imitate the little bully Sun Ce? That would be a big mistake!"
"Because in the Lujiang battlefield just over two months ago, this little overlord suffered a terrible defeat. He had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but less than 3,000 people retreated. And he lost to our Taixue Commander-in-Chief Lu.
It seems that your Commander-in-Chief Lu is not good at martial arts, and he is not a bold person who dares to take the lead. On the contrary, as far as I know, he is very timid, very timid, not only timid but also afraid of death!"
"But why the timid Sun Ce can win, but the brave Sun Ce loses? This is because he has never relied on bravery, but here!"
While speaking, Le Jin pointed to his own brain.
"Recklessness can never compare to wisdom! Taking the lead and charging into battle can only defeat the rats. If you meet someone smarter and wiser, you will only lose miserably!"
"Therefore, my request to your generals is that they should know how to protect themselves and not be brave and show off their strength. If you are killed by the enemy, how can you expect to win the war?"
"Even if you want to take the lead, you should do it under a safe and guaranteed condition. Have you all remembered it?"
Sound like a loud bell...
In short, a group of Tai students looked at each other. At this moment, they realized that if bravery is too extreme, it would be reckless!
And wisdom is always better than bravery!
Hey…
Hearing this, Lu Yu, who was not far away, rolled his eyes.
He murmured...
——"There is something about General Le Jin... He gives good examples and speaks beautifully!"
——"No wonder he can win every battle and become the only general in Cao Ying who can be called a 'constantly victorious' general!"
Of course, these are not important.
The important thing is that now Le Jin belongs to him, Lu Yu. This time, there will be no profit!
