Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 102 The source of the defeat in Maicheng, the cruel truth
Since Liu Bei entered Sichuan four years ago, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren have been working together to sell arms on a small scale.

At that time, still earn a small amount of money.

But this phenomenon began to intensify rapidly after Zhuge Liang entered Shu.

Mi Fang is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and Fu Shiren is a veteran figure who joined Liu Bei at the same time as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Because of their identities, the two are in charge of all treasury money and food, military equipment purchase and transportation in Jiangling City and Public Security City respectively.

In the middle, which link was "weary" a little, which military equipment was damaged, which ordnance was robbed... Guan Yu could not inquire about everything in detail.

And the account of the ancient government treasury is often a muddled account!

Gradually, the two also started to fight in small ways, and then became more and more courageous later, and resold more and more treasury arms and ammunition.

However, they still maintain a bottom line.

That is Jingzhou's military equipment, and it will never be sold to Cao Cao in the north.

As for... Soochow, anyway, the Sun-Liu alliance is all for crusade against Cao thieves, and whoever uses these military supplies will have the same effect.

Of course, except Soochow.

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren also have one of their biggest customers, which is Jiaozhou Shibian.

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren are not familiar with Shibian.

I only know that two years ago, the Shibian family in Jiaozhou surrendered to Sun Quan. In name, Jiaozhou was also included in Sun Quan's territory.

But in fact, Jiaozhou is still under the rule of Shibian, but it just pays a large amount of property to Soochow every year, which is the concept of a vassal state.

To Mi Fang's and Fu Shiren's surprise, the Shibian family in Jiaozhou can be said to be extremely rich.

Whenever you buy, you have never counter-offered.

And... the quantity is huge!

For this reason, the two earned a lot of money.

That's why, when Mi Fang heard that this merchant was from Jiaozhou, he was surprised.

If there were arms dealers like Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi in Jiaozhou, why did Shi Bian make a special trip to keep people in Jiangling to buy them?Isn't this the opposite of the opposite?
certainly…

This has nothing to do with Mi Fang's current mission.

He is here to ask the price!

On this side, Mi Fang and Shi Huolong are still talking.

Walking together, not necessarily enemies.

For example, arms, Mi Fang was still thinking, after asking the price, the big guys with money will make money together, and the big guys will exchange what they have and cooperate with each other.

But, as if, Shi Huolong didn't think so.

When it came to the topic of arms, Shi Huolong's eyes were sure, "Magistrate Mi's kind invitation is probably because of that batch of arms, right?"

Mi Fang didn't make any detours, and nodded heavily, "I don't know, how many vans, crossbows, and horses does Brother Shi have?"

this…

Shi Huolong thought about it for a while, and said frankly: "In fact, this batch is not many, there are two hundred vans, more than a thousand crossbows, and more than ten thousand crossbow arrows... As for the wooden cows and horses, there are only one hundred!"

The topic is gradually brought into the right track.

Mi Fang continued to ask with interest: "Then I don't know... Brother Shi, the master, at what price do you plan to sell it?"

Indeed, less is less...

It can be considered that the practicability of these ordnance, especially the van...the "extreme restraint" of cavalry, and the subsequent further purchase of these ordnance...

From the perspective of the prefect of Jiangling, Mi Fang thought that he still had to fight for it.

"This, I can't say well." Shi Huolong waved his hand...

"Before Brother Shi came here, didn't your master set a price in advance?"

"No!" Shi Huolong showed an extremely sincere side, "My master only said that rare goods can be lived in..."

"Haha, Eunuch Mi has also been in the arms business, so he should know that if you shop around, you should also compare the prices. Otherwise... how will I explain to the master when I go back?"

Hey…

Mi Fang felt that Shi Huolong was very drunk after watching a few glasses of wine...

But the words are still watertight.

He blinked his eyes, and was thinking about what to ask, or how to formulate the words, no matter what... He, Mi Fang, offered Guan Yu an offer, how much would he like?
It was Shi Huolong who spoke first, "Furthermore, today we let us lose our armaments under the cover of the fourth son, and the fourth master promised so swearingly that he will give us a satisfactory price tomorrow, although... Businessmen pay attention to talking about business, but the four young masters have talked so much, we have to give him face, don't we?"

Shi Huolong's eyes were dark, he opened his mouth slowly, and suggested, "How about, how about Taishou Mi not rushing to make an offer, and wait until tomorrow when he hears the offer from the Fourth Young Master?"

Mi Fang's eyes flashed, he pondered for a while, but still nodded.

"Okay, it's best...fair!"

Having said that, Mi Fang raised the wine bottle again, and the two started drinking again.

Another round of drinking.

Mi Fang felt that the time was almost ripe, so he asked in a low voice, "Brother Shi, where are you from Jiaozhou? How can Brother Shi's accent not be from the south?"

Shi Huolong, who was still bleary-eyed at first, seemed to wake up when he heard Mi Fang's words, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Then, as soon as he slapped the table, he stood up unsteadily...

He looked unhappy.

Mi Fang also stood up immediately, "Brother Shi, why is this so?"

"Prefect Mi's banquet is a good one...but why did he break the rules?" Shi Huolong directly accused.

"How did I break the rules?" Mi Fang was at a loss.

Shi Huolong shook his head, making a gesture to leave, but Mi Fang quickly grabbed him.

It's time to go, then this batch of ordnance will not be finished.

How would he explain to Guan Yunchang?

"Brother Shi has something to say, something to say..."

At this time, Mi Fang didn't look like a superior person at all, she was like a fire dragon seeking history.

Shi Huolong rolled his eyes at him, "Prefect Mi just said that he also made arms, so don't you know that in our arms business, it's the reason why customers don't ask the master?"

As soon as these words came out, Mi Fang took a sharp breath.

Indeed, there is such a rule in reselling arms.

It should be known that in today's world, there are many people who sell arms and make war fortune.

The more chaotic the world is, the more people will speculate, and the more people will take risks—to make a lot of money!

As small as a county magistrate, county magistrate, and even county officials, as large as the three princes and nine ministers in the court, and the prefect of one side with heavy troops in hand.

As long as they want, as long as they have it, they can sell some of their military supplies and weapons on the black market in exchange for a large sum of money!

The specific operation is also extremely simple, as long as a little news is released on the black market, some people buy it, and some people visit it.

And these county magistrates, county magistrates, and county officials who resell arms... three lords, nine ministers, and one party's prefect, how could they not know that once this news got out, their reputation would be ruined, and their heads would probably have to move.

Just like Mi Fang and Fu Shiren.

Why were they in history afraid of Guan Gong's inspection of the armory?
Why did it set fire to the armory?
Isn't it because he was worried about being discovered by Guan Yu about reselling arms?

Something went wrong and a big fire broke out, without anyone noticing it, the responsibility was cleared up... If it is not guaranteed, it will still be blamed.

In this matter, some institutions in later generations will directly call experts!
On the contrary, if the conclusive evidence of arms reselling is obtained by Guan Yu.

So...whether it was resold to Cao Wei, Soochow, or Jiaozhou, even Wuxi barbarian king Sha Moke, Shanyue... Guan Yu's Qinglongyanyue knife is bound to show no mercy.

You don't even need the privilege of "Fake Festival Yue"!

Just cut it off directly to set the sight and hearing straight.

It is precisely because of this that there is an unwritten rule in arms trafficking.

That is, the buyer, no matter what the situation, when, or at what level, must never ask the identity of the seller, as the saying goes, the customer does not ask the owner.

Undoubtedly, what Mi Fang just asked, "Where are you from Jiaozhou?" violated this iron law!
"Prefect Mi doesn't understand the rules, so let's find someone who understands the rules to cooperate... Prefect Mi bids farewell!"

Shi Huolong's words were extremely cold, making Mi Fang feel cold all over.

"Drunk, drunk... What did I say just now? What did I say?" Mi Fang pretended to be sober because of surprise, and asked pretendingly, "Where is this place? Why is the prefect here? We What did you say?"

Looking at Mi Fang's appearance...

Shi Huolong finally stopped, "Forget it, let's talk about the deal tomorrow, goodbye!"

just like…

The Mi Fang sent by Guan Yu, this first round of negotiations, completely declared-failure!
...

...

Throughout the afternoon, Guan Lin was a little dazed.

Not because of anything else, but because of the third sister——Guan Yinping.

On the way home from Desheng Bridge, the third sister Guan Yinping hurried over. Guan Lin thought she had something to do and hurriedly asked.

I never thought, hesitated for a long time...

The third sister Guan Yinping was stunned and didn't say a word.

It was a long, countless hesitation. ,
Guan Lin was still thinking about it, they are all a family, so what can't be said?
At that time, he couldn't help asking Third Sister again and again.

Unexpectedly, the third sister Guan Yinping blushed and ran away on horseback.

For a moment, Guan Lin thought that the third sister fell in love with some handsome guy and asked him to help match him... But how old is the third sister?

Besides, it's not spring now, isn't it supposed to be the season of estrus?

Originally, this was just a small episode, and it was over when it passed.

never thought...

One afternoon, Guan Yinping came to look for Guan Lin twice more.

Every time I hesitated for a long time, opened my mouth, but couldn't say a word.

In the end, naturally, nothing remained but loneliness.

It's like... the third sister Guan Yinping asked Guan Lin to guess it himself!
Guan Lin was also drunk.

These days, he has too many things to do.

Lao Huang's production is in full swing, Lu Youjiao's manpower arrangement, the thief Cao's mansion still has a lot of accounts, and the Beggar Gang's first establishment, there are many things that need to be asked by "Hong Qigong"!
All in all, a thousand threads!

Now there are more Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi, and another plan to make money and people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Guan Lin's head is full of thoughts, and it is about to become a paste.

just now…

Stop saying "guess"...

Guan Lin was almost numb.

He admitted that the girl's mind, his two lives... still can't figure it out!
Having said that, girls are too weird...

You can't just say anything!
Always guessing, too much effort.

No wonder, your uncle would say, "There is no woman in my heart, but the sword is a natural god, the first page of the sword manual, forget the sweetheart!"

——Your uncle will always be your uncle!

"Tap..."

Accompanied by the sound of brisk footsteps, Guan Lin did not raise his head, he was still drawing a brand new manufacturing drawing.

Of course, without looking up, he also knew that it must be the third sister Guan Yinping, and she came again, again, again!

"coming?"

Guan Lin lowered his head and said something casually.

He's used to it...

The third sister, Guan Yinping, would definitely say—what's your attitude?

Sure enough, "What's your attitude? Did you just talk to Third Sister like that without looking up? I even picked infantry from the barracks to help you at noon!"

Guan Lin still didn't look up.

"Third sister, this is not the first time you have come here. If you have something to say, you can talk about it. As long as it is something that I can do, I will definitely do it. But... Third sister, you also understand that my brother is not in your stomach." Ascaris, I really can't figure out what you're thinking..."

While talking, Guan Lin was still muttering in his heart.

——"The next thing is 'that, that'... and then, there was a long silence, and finally ran away with a blushing face! 』

as predicted…

"That...that..."

Once Guan Yinping changed her heroic demeanor on the battlefield, she looked like a shy and coy girl at this moment.

Hesitant to say...

The familiar voice hesitated.

In fact, Guan Yinping was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

At this age, such a shameful thing, it is inevitable... It will be difficult to talk about it.

It would be the same for any girl in future generations.

You can't fall in love at the age of fifteen or six, and just take your boyfriend to buy "that scarf", it's too shameful!

Of course, it's different after twenty.

It's only natural for a thief to ask her boyfriend what brand to buy...

One is original and one is modified...

Having experienced it and knowing everything, there is no need to be shy anymore.

In fact, Guan Lin really couldn't think about it this way.

After all...it's cyclical, so it's not needed every day.

For a few days this month, the third sister has just passed away, so there is no need for now... How could Guan Lin think that she came here specially to beg for this...

This is a rainy day!
It is also a kind of alternative "sense of security", right?

"Third sister, I really can't take care of you today..." Guan Lin's drawing reached a point, and he slowly got up, "Later, the Mi family will send the last batch of food owed to Cao Cao, the thief. Mansion, and then inventory into the granary, brother will be very busy tonight!"

"If sister wants anything, just say it. If not, brother will go to the thief's mansion first!"

In fact, Guan Lin only said one thing about counting the food.

Besides this matter, tonight...he has to pay close attention...to Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi.

Presumably, at this very moment, the two of them... are bustling with each other!
"I..." In the end, Guan Yinping still couldn't be bold enough to tell his brother such a shameful thing unscrupulously.

But this time, she was fully prepared.

She mustered up her courage, closed her eyes, and whispered, "That's...the one you gave me a few days ago, the one with the little wings, fourth brother...you...do you still have any?"

——"Clatter..."

The wind gently blew through Guan Yinping's messy hair.

At this moment, Guan Yinping had his eyes closed.

Her face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look into Guan Lin's eyes.

Ten breaths, twenty breaths, thirty breaths!

She kept this posture for a full thirty breaths, but... still no one responded.

She couldn't help but resist her shyness and opened her eyes.

But in front of him, there was no figure of the fourth brother.

"Fourth brother? People... people?"

Guan Yinping hastily shouted...

But there is no one in this empty courtyard.

Only Guan Yinping was left alone, in front of the open door, messy in the wind.

"No way…"

"No...not when I spoke just now, he...has he already left?"

"Oh... this stinky brother, oh!"

Thinking of this, Guan Yinping's teeth clenched her lips, she felt regretful...extremely annoyed.

missed…

Missed it again!

Having said that, she... what happened to her?
She has always claimed to be a heroic, capable and straightforward female general...

She used to target the Jiangdong Sword Fairy, the daring concubine Sun Shangxiang.

But now, now...

She couldn't even blurt out such a "little thing".

"me…"

Words stumbled again...

At this moment, Guan Yinping didn't know that the brave and brave person on the battlefield... was the real her?

Or is it here... submissive, timid... is... the truest self?
For a moment, Guan Yinping felt...she couldn't understand herself anymore!

...
