The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 165 It's a Good Opportunity for Marquis Wen
Jia Xu asked questions like a cannonball, and Liu Xun didn't know how to respond to them.

But he also found that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.

"Who are you?" Liu Xun asked.

"Jia Xu is under Duke Cao's command." Speaking of this, Jia Xu no longer concealed his true identity.

Liu Xunchang knelt up, pressed his sword and asked, "You dare to come to Hefei, aren't you afraid of me..."

"What do I have to be afraid of?" Jia Xu walked unhurriedly to the side table and sat down: "It's still the same sentence, if you kill me, the general will definitely die. If I live, the general will also benefit. I think the general should know how to choose." .”

"Are you so sure that I will surrender?" Liu Xun asked.

"For the general, are there other options?" Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "Li Mao was killed, how many people can be used by the general? Once my lord's army arrives, how long can Lujiang be defended?"

What Jia Xu asked was exactly what Liu Xun was worried about.

He frowned and sat back.

After a while, he changed his tone and asked, "According to Mr. Jia, what should I do?"

"My lord, Nianzai and Yuan Gonglu used to be ministers in the same palace, and I couldn't bear to cut off his descendants. Yuan Yao and others don't have to kill him, but Zhang Xun..." Jia Xu didn't go on: "What should be done is up to General Liu. Consider it."

Liu Xun grimaced and didn't say a word.

Of course Jia Xu would not rush him.

From Liu Xun's performance, he has already judged that this trip to Hefei will definitely not be in vain.

A few days later, Lu Bu in Pengcheng got the news from Hefei.

Liu Xun planned to kill Zhang Xun, captured Yuan Yao and others and sent them to Shouchun.

The Yuan family in Huainan was officially erased from the heroes of the late Han Dynasty.

When he got the news, Lu Bu was circling around a wooden frame in the courtyard.

According to his instructions, two craftsmen spliced ​​the long strips of wood together.

On the ground not far from the frame, there was a pile of wooden boards.

"The mortise must be aligned, and there should be no deviation." Lu Bu told the craftsman: "If it is a little bit off, this bed will be useless."

The craftsman uses a thin line to mark the length, and strives for a tight connection between the tenon and the groove.

Amidst the sound of ping-pong-pong, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong who brought him the news: "Did Liu Xun really kill Zhang Xun and dedicate Yuan Yao to Cao Cao?"

"This is the best news for Marquis Wen." Chen Gong said, "It's as if Liu Xun gave Huainan to Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu nodded, never leaving the frame that the two craftsmen were making.

As each piece of wood was spliced ​​together, a frame appeared in front of Lu Bu and Chen Gong.

Chen Gong asked in surprise, "What is Hou Wen doing?"

"Bed." Lu Bu replied, "A bed for sleeping."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people would spread their bedding on the ground when they slept.

Even if there is a couch at home, it is only used as a seat when entertaining guests, and it is impossible to sleep on it.

From Chen Gong's point of view, the frame in front of him is nothing like four.

He couldn't figure out what it would be like to sleep on it.

Only when the craftsman lifted the wooden board next to it and placed it on the frame did Chen Gong understand.

It turns out that people don't sleep directly on the frame, but also build boards on it...

After another round of beating, the craftsman assembled a bed according to Lu Bu's instructions.

Lu Bu walked around the bed twice with his hands behind his back, nodding his head in satisfaction: "It looks pretty good, although it's far from what I want, at least it has a look."

"Marquis Wen, this thing..." Chen Gong asked in surprise, "How do you use it?"

"Lay the mattress on top and lie on the bed at night, it will feel much more comfortable than sleeping on the floor." Lu Bu said: "If I can put it on the market, I can make a lot of money."

Chen Gong shook his head: "It's hard to say. When something new is introduced, someone must agree. No one agrees. It's just that Marquis Wen speaks with empty teeth, and others won't believe it."

"You came just in time." Lu Bu smiled at him: "I was thinking about sending it to Zhang Shiping, but it would be too grand for me to send it in person, and I can't force him to sleep tonight if someone else does it. Put it at home, if it is not used at night, it will be useless. Zhang Shiping does not know the benefits, so of course he will not recommend it to others. No matter how much we make, it will not be exchanged for cash."

"Marquis Wen made a lot of toothpaste in the past, and sold them at high prices. Now Xuzhou is stable everywhere, and even the common people use toothpaste." Chen Gong smiled and shook his head: "Toothpaste is no longer as expensive as it used to be, and the market price has dropped by more than ten times. .Even if Zhang Shiping knew the benefits of the bed, he probably wouldn't easily ship it out for Marquis Wen."

"It's a matter of time before toothpaste is worthless, but the bed is different." Lu Bu said: "The material used and the craftsmanship all determine the market price of the bed. As long as he is willing to sell it, I can make him a lot of money." .”

When Lu Bu made toothpaste, Zhang Shiping and a group of merchants made a lot of profits from it.

With the improvement of people's lives, many civilians have also become interested in toothpaste.

The needs of ordinary people have prompted toothpaste to shift from high-end precision production to low-end mass production, and Zhang Shiping's profits have also decreased a lot.

The profit of a single bottle of toothpaste decreased, but the number of customers increased. The most important thing was to purchase toothpaste. Zhang Shiping and those merchants who first cooperated with Lu Bu did not have to sell the goods in person.

They exchange toothpaste in bulk to other merchants to earn the difference. Even if the profit is small, it is a good thing for them to make a small profit.

Chen Gong was in charge of Pengcheng's affairs, and also had contacts with Zhang Shiping and merchants.

Businessmen are businessmen after all, and they are still based on profit.

Talking about toothpaste with Chen Gong, although he made a lot of money, he still sighed, saying that it was a loss to his grandma's family, and hoped that Lu Bu could lower the supply price of toothpaste.

However, Lu Bu didn't pay attention to their tricks at all, the formula was still tightly controlled, and the toothpaste was still supplied at the price he set.

Zhang Shiping and others are also very helpless.

Beds and toothpaste are different.

Toothpaste formulas are so blended together that it's hard to tell what's in them.

But the material of the bed is very simple.

If a few pieces of wood are put together, if it is really useful, there is no guarantee that merchants will not follow the gourd and make the same thing.

Chen Gong didn't think of this, but Lu Bu had already thought of it.

He smiled slightly, and lightly patted Chen Gong's arm: "Don't think too much about the public platform, send the bed to Zhang Shiping first. Tell him, if he finds it useful, he can come to me for a detailed discussion."

"If he refuses to use it, I'll watch him use it." Chen Gong replied: "Be sure to let Zhang Shiping sleep on the bed tonight!"

"Thank you!" Lu Bu said thankfully.

Chen Gong greeted the guard next to him: "Pick up the bed, and come with me to see Zhang Shiping!"

The bed was carried by several guards, and they followed Chen Gong to the gate.

After they went out, Lu Bu told the two craftsmen: "Find more people, we still have to figure out the bedside and mattress."
