The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 364
Lu Bu's last words made Zhang Shiping feel chills.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Chu, I know how many benefits I have gained in Xuzhou. I will definitely not let Marquis Chu have a quarrel with me because of some war horses."

Nodding his head, Lu Bu said: "I have already talked to you a lot, and you should take care of it after you go back. The restaurant needs to be built, and the pots and stoves also need to be tried to use. When all these are in place, you can send someone to the battlefield to meet you." Me, I will tell you the recipes of the dishes. As for the farms and factories, there are too many things to prepare, so don’t think about it yet. When I defeat Cao Cao, I will come back and talk about the specific details.”

When he saw Lu Bu for the first time, Zhang Shiping didn't have much confidence in the toothpaste he made.

However, after the toothpaste was brought back, it was liked by the wives and concubines of the gentry nobles, and suddenly the toothpaste became a luxury product for the gentry to compete for luxury.

Up to now, toothpaste, soap, etc. have long become daily consumables that ordinary people can afford.

No matter what, once it becomes popular and becomes a consumable that ordinary people can afford, its value will be greatly reduced.

In Zhang Shiping's business, although these goods are still sold, they are no longer the basis of his profit.

"You have a lot of things to do in the future, and you will earn a lot of money." Lu Bu said to Zhang Shiping again: "It's just that the crusade against Cao Cao is imminent, and I don't have much time to tell you how to make money at this time. Wait until I defeat Cao Cao , and then I will talk to you about how to earn more profit."

Lu Bu was not a businessman, Zhang Shiping trusted him because he had many novel ideas.

Every time he did what Lu Bu said, Zhang Shiping could make a lot of money.

This time, Lu Bu drew an extremely grand blueprint for him, and Zhang Shiping seemed to have seen the days when the future would be incomparably rich.

He said to Lu Bu: "It is important for the Marquis of Chu to conquer the world, and what I am here is just a trivial matter. After the restaurant is ready, it is not too late to wait for the Marquis of Chu to come back and open for business."

Lu Bu nodded, and said to Zhang Shiping: "I do have some important things to do. I have paid close attention to the few things I told you, especially the war horses. Whether the expedition will go smoothly in the future depends on these horses."

"Don't worry, Marquis Chu, I will definitely raise funds as soon as possible." Zhang Shiping bowed in response.

After Zhang Shiping resigned, Lu Bu called Sun Ce to leave the study.

Following behind Lu Bu, Sun Ce asked him, "Marquis Chu, if you give Zhang Shiping a lot of business, Xuzhou's lifeblood will be in his hands..."

"He is in charge of bringing money to Xuzhou from outside, but I am in control of whether I can let him get money." Lu Bu said: "Between Zhang Shiping and I, we get more benefits from each other. He is a shrewd businessman." , knowing that it is impossible for any product to be popular all the time. If you want to earn more benefits, you must cooperate with me non-stop. I can make him the richest man in the world overnight, or make him penniless in one day. And After he leaves me, it will indeed cause turmoil in Xuzhou's management in the short term, and I will replace him with someone else in a short time."

When Lu Bu said this, his tone was very confident.

Although Sun Ce still felt that something was wrong, he didn't know what to say.

Lu Bu smiled at him: "I've actually thought about what Bofu is worried about. If I'm not [-]% sure, I wouldn't dare to hand over Xuzhou's economy to a merchant. After all, it's just Just two words."

Looking at Lu Bu in astonishment, Sun Ce really wanted to ask him what the two words were.

But the words were on his lips, but he couldn't ask them no matter what.

Seeing from Sun Ce's face that he wanted to ask something, Lu Bu went on to say: "Actually, it's just a word of restraint. I keep introducing new things to Zhang Shiping. Now I have drawn a wonderful blueprint for him. Once He has received countless benefits from Xuzhou, and as a businessman, his interests are paramount, so how could he not be tempted?"

"Don't worry about Marquis Chu, Zhang Shiping will abandon Xuzhou when there is nothing to give him in the future?" Sun Ce asked.

"Then there's nothing to worry about." Lu Bu curled his lips: "While I'm giving him more benefits, I'll lead the army to attack everywhere. The larger the area we control, the less likely Zhang Shiping will leave. Wait until one day, We have unified the world. No matter where it is, it is my country, so where else can he go?"

Sun Ce had known for a long time that Lu Bu had the ambition to conquer the world, but the words came out of his mouth, which really surprised Sun Ce.

He said to Lv Bu: "The Marquis of Chu has great ambitions. No matter whether it is martial arts or strategy, there is no one in the world. Sooner or later, the Marquis of Chu will be able to calm down the country and restore the Han Dynasty."

"The Han Dynasty is declining, and we ministers should support it." Although Lu Bu did not agree with Kuang Fu Han Dynasty at all in his heart, he couldn't say it out of his mouth: "Every time I think that Your Majesty is still suffering, I feel very bad. taste."

When he said this, Lu Bu was muttering in his heart.

When did you become so shameless?

Conquering the world and conquering the country, he didn't do it for some reason to restore the Han Dynasty and support the puppet emperor to become a great treasure again.

Fighting on the battlefield, desperately conquering the country, and then handing it over to the puppet emperor of the Han court?
There is a soul that came after 2000 in his body, and Lu Bu doesn't think he has that obligation.

Jiangshan takes turns to sit at my house this year.

It doesn't make sense that the ancestor of the emperor of the Han Dynasty conquered the world, so others have to give up the hard-won country to him.

Although he thought so in his heart, it was absolutely impossible for Lu Bu to say it out loud.

After all, on the surface, the country still belongs to the Han Dynasty. Although heroes from all walks of life are embracing their own strength, no one will take the puppet emperor in the court seriously, but everyone still declares to the outside world tacitly I am the one who is most loyal to the Han Dynasty...

Sun Ce has also been the Lord of Jiangdong, so he certainly understands Lu Bu's thoughts.

If Lu Bu's appearance hadn't shattered his dream of becoming the hegemony of the world, he is still leading the generals and soldiers to attack Liu Biao, trying to hold Jingzhou in his hands while avenging his father.

In fact, Sun Ce didn't know that he should be glad that he followed Lu Bu.

It is precisely because he followed Lu Bu that he did not kill Xu Gong, and of course he would not be assassinated by Xu Gong's disciples.

The soul seized Lu Bu, and besides changing the trajectory of Lu Bu's life, he also changed the fate of other people.

Perhaps this is the so-called butterfly effect, but Lu Bu's effect should be greater than that of the butterfly.

Sun Ce knew exactly what Lu Bu was thinking, but he couldn't say it, and he couldn't say it, so he had to echo it twice.

Following Lu Bu through a street, seeing that he had been looking at the blacksmith's shop nearby, Sun Ce asked, "Marquis Chu is looking for a blacksmith again?"

"Which blacksmith in Pengcheng has better craftsmanship?" Lu Bu asked Sun Ce.

Sun Ce thought for a while and replied, "It's still the one that Marquis Chu visited last time. The iron forged in that shop is stronger than other shops."

"Follow me to that shop." Lu Bu greeted,
Accompanied by Sun Ce, Lu Bu came to the blacksmith's shop where the iron rings for the parachutes had been made earlier.

When Lu Bu arrived, the blacksmiths in the shop put down their work and bowed to him.

"We're all busy." Lu Bu greeted the blacksmiths, and then asked the owner of the shop, "Do you not understand how to forge armor?"

The owner of the blacksmith shop replied: "Back to the dialect of the Marquis of Chu, the armor is made by everyone in the shop who knows how to make it."

He then asked Lu Bu, "Does Marquis Chu need to build a new armor?"

"It's not a pair of armor, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of armors." Lu Bu asked, "How long does it take for you to make one piece of armor?"

The blacksmith was astonished, and said to Lu Bu: "Bronze and iron armor is very difficult to obtain. Our whole shop can only make three or two sets a day..."

A shop can only manufacture three or two sets of armor worn by people in one day. If it is armor worn by horses, it does not know how long it will take to make it.

"How did you build it so slowly?" Lu Bu frowned. "If the lieutenant soldiers need to change their armor, wouldn't you be able to complete a few sets in a year?"

"Exactly." The owner of the blacksmith shop replied with trepidation: "Chuhou Mingjian, our shop is not very big. Although the craftsmanship is more delicate, it is really slow to make armor. If you want to make it faster, you will There is a family in the east, and their family can produce more than a hundred sets every day."

"Their family can get out, but yours can't." Lu Bu frowned, and said to the owner of the blacksmith shop: "I'll go over there first and ask, if the craftsmanship is similar, I'll talk to you when I come back."

Lü Bu got angry, and the owner of the blacksmith shop tremblingly replied: "Chuhou Mingjian, the armor made by their family is thinner than ours. Moreover, the iron sheets in their house are all made in advance. When making the armor, glue Just stick it on..."

"Your family can do that too." Lu Bu replied: "The armors that lieutenants and soldiers need are innumerable. According to your building speed, if I urgently need a large number of armors, when will I be able to complete them?"

The owner of the blacksmith shop bowed his head, sweating profusely all over his body, how could he dare to respond.

"Let's go, let's take a look at the one in the east of the city." Lu Bu greeted Sun Ce, and led him away from the blacksmith shop.

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, Sun Ce said to Lu Bu: "Mr. Chu, the ironware in this shop is indeed the best I have ever seen..."

"The forging is so slow, so what if it is good?" Lu Bu said, "The ironware we need is not one or two pieces. If it is handed over to such a shop for forging, we don't know when it will be completely forged."

"What Chu Hou said is true." He had already seen that Lu Bu was unhappy, and of course Sun Ce would not argue with him for a blacksmith shop.

Coming to the east of the city, Lu Bu and others easily found the largest blacksmith shop.

There are at least one or two hundred craftsmen in this blacksmith shop.

Seeing a guest coming, the owner of the blacksmith shop greeted him.

When he saw clearly that it was Lu Bu, he was taken aback and hurriedly bowed to salute: "I didn't expect that it was the Marquis of Chu who came, Xiaomin was really terrified."

"There's nothing to panic about." Lu Bu raised his hand towards him and asked him, "How is your business here?"

"Back to the Marquis of Chu, although Pengcheng is very lively with people coming and going, my shop here is too big, and there are not too many people who need to forge iron." The shop owner replied: "What's more, there are many blacksmith shops in the whole Pengcheng. My family's business is very cold."

"I heard that you can forge armor here." Lu Bu asked him.

"Armor can be made." The owner of the shop replied, "I just don't know what Chuhou wants."

"What kind?" Lu Bu asked.

"Some are thin. The armor is very thin. To be honest, this kind of armor is not very useful on the battlefield. It is just worn on the soldiers, like a piece of armor." The owner of the shop replied: "There are also The thicker armor, if you want the toughness and thickness of the armor that is difficult to penetrate, it is much more expensive than the thinner armor.”

"A flimsy armor is useless at all. Could someone buy it?" Lu Bu frowned slightly, and asked the owner of the blacksmith shop.

"Of course someone will buy it." The owner of the blacksmith shop said, "We didn't come to Pengcheng in the past, and that's what we sold the most."

Lu Bu and Sun Ce glanced at each other, and he asked the owner of the blacksmith shop, "Since you came to Pengcheng, have you ever sold it?"

The owner of the blacksmith shop realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face showed embarrassment.

"The Marquis of Chu asked, why didn't you say it?" Seeing something from it, Sun Ce glared and asked.

"Yes!" The owner of the blacksmith shop responded tremblingly, which made Lu Bu feel a chill down his spine.

It is impossible for him to check the armor on every soldier. When the soldiers go out to battle, the armor looks the same on their bodies.

If this kind of armor is really brought to the battlefield, the soldiers wearing them will be as if they have no protective gear at all.

Not using protective gear on the battlefield will undoubtedly send soldiers to death.

"Who bought it from here?" Lu Bu asked him with a gloomy expression.

Knowing that it was impossible to hide it, the owner of the blacksmith shop lowered his head and replied: "If you go back to the Marquis of Chu, they are all purchased for military supplies, and the people who come here are different every time..."

Lu Bu's face turned cold, and he said to the owner of the blacksmith shop: "You are quite courageous, and you dare to sell inferior armor to military supplies. I think your shop is closed."

Hearing the unkindness from Lu Bu's words, the owner of the blacksmith's shop bent his legs and knelt on the ground, kowtowing his head like pounding garlic: "Master Chu Mingjian, it's not that I want to sell that kind of armor, but they want it." , I dare not refuse."

"Take him back." Originally, he wanted to ask this blacksmith shop if he could forge horse armor, but because the owner of the shop said something wrong, Lu Bu ordered him to be taken away.

Sun Ce winked at the guard behind him.

The two guards stepped forward and twisted the owner of the blacksmith shop and walked out.

The blacksmiths who were working in the shop looked over one after another. They were astonished. They didn't understand how the master's family provoked this Chuhou, and they came to take him.
