It would have been very inappropriate for subordinates to question their superiors in such a tone. It would have been postponed for a thousand years. However, in today's social atmosphere, such a tone only shows that they are anxious about the matter and does not mean to really offend their superiors.
These three Xing Sima are the leaders of three middle-level clans: Tuoba Ban, Murong Fu, and Li Qi.
Hua Xi put away her smile, stared at them seriously, and asked, "Are you also secretly hoarding supplies and planning to resell them to the army at a high price?"
After hearing this, the three officers and soldiers looked at each other in confusion. How could Lord Army Sima guess it so quickly?
Li Qi and Murong Fu immediately chose to be gold fingers without loyalty, and pointed at Tuoba Ban: "This guy said it all. He said that hoarding and reselling can bring huge wealth to our clan!"
"Yes, if he hadn't encouraged it, we wouldn't have encouraged our people to invest a lot of money..."
At this moment, Tuoba Ban rubbed his hands in embarrassment, then straightened his face and said loudly: "Yes, sir, I proposed such a good opportunity, who would miss it?"
Hua Xi didn't intend to talk too much to these rude clan leaders, but said solemnly: "You are right, I would do the same thing, but it depends on when I persuade them.
You'd better sell as soon as possible to avoid losing all your money! Lord Situ has already taken me to see all the warehouses. The various materials accumulated in them are enough for 30,000 troops to use 50,000 troops for a year. Although it is a lot, it can still be used by several.
In this month's battle, our army is resting and waiting for work, and our troops are well-trained and well-fed. It will definitely not take long to defeat the mountain garrison in the future."
"Ah, this... is so helpless!" the three people exclaimed in unison.
"However, there is still a big gap in stone and wood. I will purchase a batch first," Hua Xi pretended to comfort him.
At this time, the leaders of the three Sima clans and tribes could no longer restrain their inner excitement (not a happy excitement) and jumped up, exclaiming: "Sir, you really don't want other supplies."
"It's over, it's over. Our clan has invested tens of thousands of copper coins in it! By the way, hurry up and sell it!"
The three of them hurriedly said goodbye to Hua Xi and hurried out of the legion's camp gate towards the south of the city.
Hua Xi looked at their backs and felt funny in his heart. He sat leisurely in the tent and drank a few sips of tea, as if he was waiting for something. He couldn't just start doing it right away if he wanted to.
There is a process in the middle, you have to wait patiently
Half an hour later, Jiang Wei, a businessman who was looking after one of the shops for him, entered the camp under the guidance of a team leader.
Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Hua Xi asked him to sit down, and then personally poured him a glass of water.
Jiang Wei finally managed to catch his breath and asked urgently: "Brother, many people come to me to inquire about military procurement and want to know what exactly they will purchase for this expedition! There are also some officers from the logistics corps, and even some
You people in the Chinese tribe, I finally got rid of them and came to you, how do you think I should answer them?"
Hua Xi waved her hand and said seriously: "Ignore them. If the purchase money is my own money, I can do whatever I want. But this military purchase money is not mine and must not be used for personal gain! Otherwise, I will be punished by those who are waiting to see."
We lively people poked our spines.”
Jiang Wei was shocked and asked in confusion: "Brother, what is going on?"
Hua Xi solemnly said: "Logistics and military procurement are in charge of millions of dollars in food and supplies. Do you think the military commanders and line commanders of other legions are just showing up? As long as there is a slight mistake, they will definitely be very happy to immediately
Report to the chief and replace me so you don't have to interfere in this matter. Also tell those who are interested in hoarding and reselling, don't take advantage of this moment. If I am not responsible for this arms purchase, then that's okay. What do you think?
Hey, I, Mr. Hua, will never stop me, but now I am in my position. I can’t open my eyes and let them steal money under my nose.”
Hua Xi's words seemed to be directed at people outside, but Jiang Wei nodded guiltily at this moment and did not answer.
Hua Xi glanced at him, already guessing what was going on, and asked: "Are you also hoarding supplies? There's nothing to be ashamed of. If a businessman doesn't make a profit, he wouldn't be called a businessman. You should get all those supplies right away."
After selling, I will strive to create a sensational effect and bring down the high prices in the market. I want to use the least money to do the most things."
At this time, Jiang Wei still couldn't tell what Hua Xi was thinking, but he still had concerns in his heart: "Brother, by suppressing the market price like this, I'm afraid it will offend a lot of people! Especially those businessmen, the shop owner is afraid that within the army,
And some people in your Chinese tribe will also complain!"
Hua Xi pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "Can the arm still be twisted past the thigh? To complete the logistics support tasks of the army, we must put it first. Money will never be earned, but the army support cannot keep up.
, all the people in the big tribe in Changyang are going to die, and the interests of just a few hundred owners and merchants, can they be compared with the lives of 180,000 people in Changyang?"
"This... naturally the lives of the people of Changyang are the most important thing!" Jiang Wei wiped his sweat and said carefully
"If I open the door to you for selfish reasons, and they get caught and lose this battle, who will be blamed for all the crimes? Those Sima, as well as the bullies and leaders I have offended will definitely
Without hesitation, all the responsibilities were put on me, saying that it was my selfishness and perversion of the law that led to the defeat. When the time comes, I will jump into the Changyang River to wash myself, but it will be difficult to clear my name." Hua Xi continued to speak righteously.
Hearing this, Jiang Wei finally understood how determined Hua Xi was this time, and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, brother, I remember that when I turn around, I will immediately sell all the supplies I have hoarded and cooperate with all my efforts in publicity.
"Suppress prices." After saying this, the gloomy look on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of determination and the freedom and ease after making a decision.
He ran out of the logistics army camp in a hurry and returned to the market in the south of the city to start the operation.
Hua Xi initially said that Changyang's warehouses stocked enough supplies and would not make large purchases from the market. Many merchants and shop owners were a little unconvinced at first - how could a 50,000-strong army not make large purchases?
Is there really a huge amount of supplies stored in the Changyang tribe's warehouse?
However, when the three line commanders of the Logistics Corps stepped forward to sell off various supplies in large quantities, most speculators in Changyang realized that they had made a mistake this time. The army did not need so many supplies at all.
