Three Kingdoms in a box

Chapter 112 A wire can be exchanged for thousands of good horses

"Hey, look, that rich man is out!"

Li Yu's car drove out of the villa area and saw several saleswomen at the sales office talking excitedly. One of them looked very lonely and turned around and left without gossiping or joking with everyone!
At this time, someone asked out of curiosity: "What happened to Meiqi?"

After hearing this, several sales girls said: "What else can I do? I wanted to catch a rich man, but I didn't catch him!"

Several women looked at the car driving away and then at the most beautiful girl in their sales office. They couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that not all men are old perverts! Piggy girls have to rely on Work hard on your own, otherwise you won’t be able to afford the 79 yuan eyebrow pencil!”

……

Li Yu quickly drove to a not-so-busy area. This was a construction market, and the cars coming and going were all carrying goods such as bread or boxes of goods. And a BYD car like Li Yu worth a million dollars Looking up, I won’t say there are none, but they are definitely rare.

Soon the car stopped!

Li Yu got out of the car, found a hardware and pipe fittings wholesale store, opened the door and went in.

When the boss saw Li Yu, he sat up from the bed inside the counter and looked at Li Yu with a smile: "What can I buy?"

Li Yu also looked at the boss and saw that the boss was a middle-aged man with a little bit of Xie Guangkun on his head.

Li Yu didn't have the bad habit of laughing at other people's appearance. She smiled at the boss and said, "Do you have any wires here? I want them to be pure brass."

The boss immediately laughed when he heard this: "Sir, you are joking. Nowadays, the wires are basically made of brass and nothing else. How thick do they need to be?"

After hearing this, Li Yu smiled and said, "It doesn't need to be too thick, just the kind used at home."

What Li Yu thought was that if it was put too roughly into the box, it would turn into a brass stick, which would be very unfavorable for them to use it as currency.

That's right, Li Yu bought the wires to use as currency for Zhang Jiao and the others. Aren't they short of money?Li Yu began to prepare to go to Chow Tai Fook or China Gold to buy them some gold jewelry to use as money.

But before leaving, Li Yu suddenly remembered something, that is, he seemed to have read in a book that during the Three Kingdoms period, not only gold was valuable, but also brass, which could be used as currency and was called red gold.

This is also the reason why we often read novels about the Qin and Han Dynasties. The emperor often rewards ministers with tens of thousands of gold. If he rewards ten thousand kilograms of gold, there will be so many ministers, how can there be so much gold in the treasury!

So the bounty here generally refers to brass!
This is because the smelting technology of this era was very backward and the brass refining method was immature, resulting in things being rare and expensive, so brass can be circulated as a currency attribute!
As for brass, there are too many of them in the real world. Even the water pipes in Li Yu's villa are made of pure brass fittings. It would take Zhang Jiao and the others a lifetime to remove just one.

However, the pipe was too big to put in the box. For Zhang Jiao and others, it was like a mountain of copper, which was very inconvenient to spend, so Li Yu directly replaced it with wires.

The copper wire inside the wire is so thin that it can be used as currency for them.

Li Yu bought a bundle of wires from her boss, a full 100 meters of wires, and finally charged herself 100 yuan, which cost one yuan per meter. It was really cheap.

Li Yu drove back home, then found pliers and cut off one meter of wires. Then she found a wallpaper cutter and cut open the insulation layer of the wires.

After taking out the copper wires rolled together, Li Yu used pliers to cut the copper wires into pieces and turned them into a pile of copper scraps. Li Yu found that there was no use for this bundle of wires, so he cut them Five centimeters, a small pile of copper wire was cut.

I think these copper wires are enough for Zhang Jiao and the others. Of course, if it's not enough, Li Yu can cut it again.

Getting ready, Li Yu called Zhang Jiao.

When Zhang Jiao heard Li Yu's call, he stood up excitedly: "Immortal Lord!"

"Come to the barracks courtyard."

"Yes!"

Zhang Jue responded and came to the courtyard of the military camp. Zhang Jue's actions also affected Yan Liang and others. At this time, they arrived in the courtyard of the military camp. At this time, Li Yu held the small pile of copper wire and placed it directly in the courtyard of the military camp. Zhongdao: "Look, are these enough for you to buy war horses?"

When Li Yu's words came out, everyone saw the immortal's giant hand hanging down from the sky, and at the same time he placed a pile of brass in the center of the playground.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw these brasses. Is this brass?

They don't know what brass is, but they do know red gold. When they raided the Qian family, a large part of the money they plundered was in the form of red gold, which is more valuable than five baht coins.

But the pile in front of me, like a hill, was actually full of red gold. It was completely golden.

Everyone's eyes turned red, and they felt like they were going to make a fortune!
Zhang Jiao's eyes brightened even more. He was worried about how to buy a war horse. Now that he had so much red gold, what else could he say? He was not short of money now!
This was Zhang Jiao's truest thought now. He quickly saluted in the air: "Thank you, Immortal Lord!"

After listening to Zhang Jue's words, everyone came back to their senses and looked away from the pile of red gold in front of them. Yan Liang looked deeply into the sky at the giant hand that was completely invisible, and sighed in his heart, this Having a true god as a backstage is simply more enjoyable than having the imperial court behind you. What nonsense, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, compared with our immortals, are not even worthy of carrying shoes!

Yan Liang thought about it and saluted Li Yu sincerely.

At this time, he really calmed down. Even though Xiagouhe Village seems very small and shabby now, as long as there is support from the Immortal Lord behind it, one day this place will grow to a point that will surprise everyone.

Yan Liang thought about it and said, "Everyone gather together and help the great virtuous master move these red gold to the warehouse."

Yan Liang said something, and all the security forces started to help Zhang Jiao move the red gold to the warehouse. Yan Liang did not ask them not to guard against theft. In fact, there was no need to ask them. These soldiers were the most devout believers of the Immortal Lord, and there was no Immortal Lord. Speak, no one dares to touch the things given by the Immortal Lord!

Zhang Jiao looked at the red gold being carried into the warehouse by everyone, and his eyes were filled with light. With these red gold, buying a war horse would definitely be a sure thing, so now all he had to do was wait for Ma Yuanyi to find those horse dealers!
At this time, in Wangjiabao, Guang'a County, Ma Yuanyi found out through connections on the road that if he wanted to find the horse dealer Su Shuang, he had to first find Wang Laosan from Wangjiabao.

Wang Laosan is a sign that Su Shuang puts on the bright side.

Horse trading is a shady business and is banned by the imperial court. Although there are many people doing this business in private, few dare to expose it openly.

If the government caught him, not only would the horse and the money be confiscated, but he would even face jail time.

Moreover, with such a large number of horses around, it is impossible for the heroes of Green Forest Road to remain unmoved, and they are all holding back their energy and preparing to attack Su Shuang once, so Su Shuang is very careful in doing things.

If you want to buy a horse, please go to Wang Laosan. Wang Laosan will review it and find out if it is qualified and qualified for purchase, then he will introduce it to Su Shuang in order to achieve a foolproof level!

Ma Yuanyi quickly found Wang Laosan who lived in Wangjiapu. After arriving at Wang's house, Ma Yuanyi announced his home address with a fist in his hand: "Jitoushan Ma Yuanyi wants to see Brother Wang San!"

Wang Laosan was currently at home munching on a dog leg. This time Boss Su Shuang brought back a team of fine war horses from the North. As long as he found a buyer, he would make a fortune!
As Lan Laosan was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting outside: "Jitoushan Ma Yuanyi wants to see you!"

Chicken Head Mountain?
As a local, Wang Laosan still knows that Jitoushan is the largest bandit gang in the area and is expected to compete for the status of the Big Six in Julu Green Forest. He is a powerful person.Thinking of this, Wang San opened the door and saw Ma Yuanyi cupping his hands and saying, "He's from the Ma family."

Ma Yuanyi hugged Wang San and said, "I'm just an errand boy, I can't be a boss!"

After hearing this, Wang San smiled and said: "You're welcome, since you are in the green forest, sooner or later the dragon will raise its head, what does the boss of the Ma family want from me?"

Ma Yuanyi looked around and said, "I want to buy a horse!"

"Buy a horse?"

Wang San looked at Ma Yuanyi and said, "Master Ma, are you looking for me to buy a horse?"

Ma Yuanyi said with a smile: "It was Ma Liu who asked me to come to you. You guys are brothers, don't you know each other?"

Wang San heard this and looked at Ma Yuanyi. Seeing that he could tell Ma Liu, he knew that the relationship was possible, so he smiled and said, "Come in and talk."

When he arrived at the house, Ma Yuanyi saw Wang San's dog legs on the table and said with a smile: "Eating meat in broad daylight, it seems that Brother Wang has made a fortune!"

Wang San smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it. By the way, how many horses do you want to buy?"

Ma Yuanyi heard this and said: "Thirty horses."

"Sigh~"

After hearing this, Wang Laosan took a breath of air. Normally, horses are sold in one or two pieces. If you say more, it will only be three or five horses. But I didn't expect that Ma Yuanyi opened his mouth and said thirty horses. This is really scary. He jumped.

"If you are not a brother, I won't give you face if you are not a brother. This year's horse is very valuable!"

After hearing this, Ma Yuanyi said: "What's the price?"

Wang Laosan said: "This year Xianbei Tanshihuai is planning to send troops south to plunder, so the entire tribe has tightened the sale of war horses. Our leader also risked his life this time and got a few dozen horses through some good connections. The price is naturally a bit more expensive, but these horses are all good horses, and the quality is much better than those in the past, so from this point of view, they are not cheating!"

After hearing this, Ma Yuanyi said: "A good horse will naturally be sold at a good price, but what is the specific price?"

Wang Laosan thought for a moment and said, "Sixty thousand dollars."

Ma Yuanyi frowned slightly and said, "It's too high. It's cheaper. I don't buy one, but thirty!"

Wang Laosan frowned slightly when he heard this and said: "Brother, please wait a moment and eat some dog meat. If you really want it, I'll ask the boss if it can be cheaper!"

Ma Yuanyi said: "That's very good."

After that, Ma Yuanyi was not polite. He grabbed the dog meat and started eating it. Wang San glanced at Ma Yuanyi and followed him to the back. There was a young man digging on the ground behind him. Wang Er waved his hand and the man came over and whispered something. In short, the man put down his hoe, turned around and ran away.

Wang San came back and had a conversation with Ma Yuanyi. Then he heard someone knocking on the back door. Wang San walked over and came back quickly and said: "Our boss said that if the master really wants thirty horses, he will sell them for fifty-five thousand yuan." Brother, let’s make a friend. If my brother is in trouble in Guang’a County in the future, I hope he can lend a helping hand!”

After hearing this, Ma Yuanyi smiled and said: "This is natural. From now on, as long as we can take care of you in Guang'a, we will naturally take care of you."

Wang Laosan said: "Then we will form a good relationship."

Ma Yuanyi asked: "When will the horses arrive?"

Wang Laosan said: "When the money comes, the horses will come naturally. According to the rules, you set the time and I will set the place."

Ma Yuanyi said: "Well, after two days of this."

Wang Laosan said: "In the cross forest."

"See you soon!"

After agreeing on a time and place, Ma Yuanyi said goodbye, quickly ran back to Xiagouhe Village, and reported the matter to Zhang Jiao.

After hearing this, Zhang Jue slapped the table and said, "Okay, in two days, brother Yan Liang, come with me to the Cross Forest."

Yan Liang heard this and said, "Well, leave this matter to me. If a certain family is here, it doesn't matter!"

Yan Liang has absolute confidence in his own force.

Zhang Jiao followed closely and said: "In addition, go and call Zhang Laosi. He is a veterinarian and has research on horses. Don't let these horse traders deceive you and pass off inferior products as good ones."

Everyone nodded, and Zhang Jiao said at the same time: "Zhang Bao will stay and guard the camp with Li Dagou. I will personally bring the money to meet Su Shuang, the great businessman in the North!"

After hearing this, Yan Liang said: "Why should a great virtuous master go there in person? A certain family will do such a small thing for him!"

Zhang Jiao said: "As our team grows in the future, horses will be indispensable. Since Su Shuang has a channel for selling horses, we should have more contact with him. If possible, we will have an additional source of war horses in the future!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded. At this time, Zhang Bao on the side said: "Great Master, if you bring back these thirty horses, I'm afraid it won't be enough for you. In addition, these horses are too valuable. I'm afraid the other party will cheat." Eat black."

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "This is a problem. In this case, let Jitou Mountain send 30 people to follow. In addition, the horse will also be raised in Jitou Mountain from now on, brother Yan Liang!"

Zhang Jiao looked at Yan Liang and said, "Brother Yan Liang, I want to discuss something with you!"

Yan Liang looked at Zhang Jiao and said, "But it doesn't matter!"

"It's like this. Our Jitou Mountain foundation lacks a person who can control the mountain. My third brother's martial arts are mediocre and he can't hold a big position. I wonder if brother Yan Liang can lead an army alone to suppress Jitoushan and become a great help to our Taiping Dao! "

This is what Li Yu meant. Yan Liang has a free perspective. Putting him in Xiagouhe Village together with Zhang Jiao is a bit redundant. Moreover, Jitoushan is an important hidden object, which Li Yu still values ​​​​very much. It must be There needs to be someone who can take charge of the situation, and Yan Liang is a good candidate.

Yan Liang was stunned when he heard this. He originally wanted to be an official soldier, but being a militia instructor was already against his original intention. Now he is going to be a bandit?

Yan Liang was very confused. If he really became a bandit, how should he explain to his mother?
Zhang Jiao obviously saw Yan Liang's thoughts and said: "Brother Yan Liang, don't worry. The Immortal Lord said that this is just a temporary measure. In a few years, Brother Yan Liang will be able to dominate the world again. I wonder if Brother Yan Liang is willing?"
