The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 715: Dazhong State is Not Peaceful
Wan'er spends so much money, and she still has to support a team of 2000 people under her command, and more than [-] people will come in the future. How will she live after she arrives in Zhongdu?

Li Dao, who has always been prepared for danger in times of peace, feels that he needs to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. It is easy to save money, but how to increase revenue?
What business should I do after arriving in Zhongdu?It's actually quite distressing, forget it, let's do a market survey first then talk about it.

In this way, after deducting Wan'er's pocket money for a year and severely reprimanding her, Li Dao didn't pursue it further.

That's right, Jiang Wan has her own pocket money now, or it is more appropriate to use "self-owned money" to describe it, after all, her status is different now.

From the original "White Camel Villa buddy" to today's "boss lady", naturally, she doesn't have to live on dead wages like before, and the consumption level has skyrocketed.

But now... Even if she is the "wife of the chief sect master", she can't spend money randomly, can she?Moreover, he also embezzled Lao Zhu's money for buying vegetables. With such behavior, how could Li Dao trust her to take care of the affairs of the back house?
This prodigal bitch, don't you know how hard it is for old men to make money outside! ?

After reprimanding Wan'er and having lunch, Li Dao went to chat with Lu Changming again.

Lu Changming also just finished his lunch, and was walking around to digest food in the inn, served by his concubine.

There are about 400 people who came to Dazhong Prefecture with Lu Changming. Lu Changming's continuation and six concubines, as well as three sons and their wives and children, two daughters and their husbands, etc., a total of 28 people. people.

The others are all Lu Changming's confidantes and their family members. There are tens of thousands of people in his sect, and these are the only ones left now.

Seeing Li Dao coming, Lu Changming laughed and said, "The old man is still thinking about calling Haoran to set off together later, and the road will be more lively."

Li Dao also smiled and said: "I also have the same intention, Lu Weng is very knowledgeable, and I have learned a lot of life experience from Lu Weng."

Lu Changming waved his hand and said: "Hao Ran is polite, I think Hao Ran has an extraordinary bearing, although he encounters a small setback now, he will have a good situation in the future, which is different from me, an old man."

The two were polite to each other, and Li Dao sighed: "It's not easy to live in Zhongdu. I just found out recently that after arriving in Dazhong Prefecture, the expenses are really high. It is really distressing to support so many people." Very nah."

Lu Changming sighed deeply, nodded and said, "That's true. It's no wonder that people in Dazhong Prefecture look at people outside like country bumpkins. This place is really too rich."

Li Dao then asked: "Lu Weng, what are your plans when you arrive in Zhongdu?"

That is to say, how should a large group of you live, and what kind of business do you plan to do?Let's discuss it, I'm worrying about this right now, do you have any ways to get rich?

Lu Changming laughed and said, "When I was young, I met a good friend. Her family was in Zhongdu and opened a bookstore. It can be regarded as a respectable family in Zhongdu. This time, I went to join her."

"At that time, go to Zhongdu to buy a house, settle down the whole family, and there will always be a way out to make a living. As for those trusted brothers and family members, I will see if I can arrange them to work in the bookstore of my friend's house. "

"If it's possible, it's a good ending for them, and it's worthy of their loyalty to the old man over the years. If not, then let's go."

"The old man will pay them a settling fee, and everyone will make a living separately. They will just take care of each other in the future, and take better care of them, but they don't dare to think too much about it."

Li Dao pondered for a while, then asked: "How much money did Lu Weng bring to Dazhong Prefecture this time?"

As soon as he was obedient, Lu Changming triumphantly made an "eight" gesture to Li Dao.

Li Dao was shocked instantly, 800 million?No wonder he is so confident... Thinking that he only has more than 300 million yuan on hand, Li Dao is sour.

They all wondered if they would turn into a "flying thief" on a certain windy night and steal his money.

"80 gold!"

I only heard Lu Changming say with a smile: "At the beginning, seeing that the situation was irreversible, the old man had already left a way out for himself, and transferred the money in the treasury of our faction in advance."

"After the faction completely collapsed, the old man took most of the property and quickly fled with his family and confidantes, leaving an empty shell for the enemy. Hehe, how could he have imagined that the old man left such a backhand."

"..."

Li Dao didn't know how to answer the question for a while, it turns out that you only have 80 gold, so where do you have the confidence to live in Zhongdu City and give "a happy ending" to your confidants?
Li Sanmillion glanced at him silently, dismissed the idea of ​​stealing and robbery, and said nothing.

At this time, Lu Changming's eldest son, Lu Qiancheng, came over and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Changming frowned slightly, and said, "We have already paid."

Lu Qiancheng whispered: "They returned the money..."

When Li Dao wanted to find out what was going on, he saw Xiao Ma coming over and said, "Boss, we have to go, and immediately, immediately, without delay."

Li Dao frowned slightly, and said, "What's going on?"

Xiao Ma said: "Just now the station chief said that there are troops from the General's Mansion passing by here. They need to receive and replenish supplies, so they can't keep guests, and returned all our money."

Li Dao nodded and asked, "Did the postmaster say how many troops passed by?"

Xiao Ma shook his head and said: "I didn't say anything, but I guess there will be a lot of them. Lu Fang went to the post station to inquire about it, and when he came back, he said that there should be no more than ten post stations with a radius of a hundred miles during this period of time. Accepting guests."

Li Dao frowned, thought for a moment, smiled helplessly, and said, "Then let's go, it looks like we're going to sleep in the wilderness tonight."

Then, he greeted Lu Changming, and went back to the residence of himself and the others with Xiao Ma, packing up his things.

This post station is different from an inn. The scale of each post station is about the same size as the town store. The large one can accommodate 5000 people, and the small one can accommodate a thousand people.

It is generally used as a link between the government and the city, and it is used to receive passing merchants in leisure time, and it is used as a military camp in wartime, and the army will supply supplies at the post station.

Li Dao did some calculations, all the post stations with a radius of a hundred miles were closed to the outside world, even if there were tens of thousands of troops passing by?It seems that the front line is tight.

The station they were in was a "big station", thousands of people gathered here, when Li Dao called the people to leave, he saw that Lu Changming and the others were ready.

But there are also other merchants who are very dissatisfied with this, clamoring: "We have paid the money, and we plan to rest here for a few days, how can you..."

Then I saw a post station official throwing a handful of gold baht on the man's face, and shouted: "I'll pay you back, get out of here..."

The man still wanted to argue, but saw the little official draw out the knife from his waist, and said in a deep voice, "You are easy to talk, and I refunded your money, but when the army comes over, let's see if you spend your money..."

Seeing this, the man didn't dare to say anything more, picked up the gold baht that fell on the ground, and beckoned the caravan to leave.

They are not fools, the post station is afraid of delaying things, and the businessman wants to get his money back...
