Take the system to become Uncle Liu

"Early before my subordinates came to Bohai Sea, I sent a letter to Commander Han Shizhong to buy timber in the vicinity. If it was not enough, I sent soldiers to the deep mountains to cut timber. Moreover, my subordinates heard that Liaodong produced timber, so they went through the merchants. The team bought a lot of timber locally."

"As for the subordinates of the iron mine, they urgently purchased a large amount of pig iron from Mr. Ma Jun when they were in Wuji County, and then processed them after arriving in Bohai Sea, so these two items have already saved a lot of money. As for the subordinates of the workers, they thought that it was already a cold winter There were few battles, so we discussed with Li Hongzhang and decided to let these navy soldiers temporarily act as workers and work in turns."

Liu Bei listened to He Shen's narration, generally speaking, there was nothing special about it, but Liu Bei always felt that there was something missing in it. After all, the total difference was 1000 taels of gold, which was not a small amount, equivalent to three One-tenth of the money, if it can be saved by saving, Zheng Chenggong would not dare to report such a large amount.

Liu Bei looked at He Shen with burning eyes, showing a trace of impatience, and said coldly to He Shen: "You can save 1000 taels of gold just by doing this. I don't know if Mr. He is comparable to the business sage Fan Li who knows how to do business." Well, or is there something concealed, could it be that there are jerry-builts in the transformation process."

He Shen couldn't keep his previous composure when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down, his face turned pale with fright, and he trembled all over. He knew Liu Bei's previous order to ensure the quality of the warship, and said tremblingly: "My lord, forgive me. Sin, this subordinate missed one thing just now."

"After my subordinates came to Bohai County, they learned that there were several caravans who wanted to go to Liaodong and even Goguryeo to do business, but because it was too far away by land, and it was freezing cold, they couldn't get there at all. , so I always hope that our army's ships can take them there, but Commander Han refuses every time."

"After the subordinates came down, they thought that we would take them to the other side. We have a lot of ships, and we can charge a fee to take them there. Why not do it, so the subordinates made their own decisions and contacted several caravans. .”

Liu Bei listened to He Shen's description with mixed feelings, and didn't know how to evaluate it. He said that He Shen acted recklessly, but he also did it for the purpose of transforming the warship. He said that he was completely for his own sake, and Liu Bei would not believe it even if he was killed. Since the profits in it are so huge, can he and Shen not make some money out of it? It doesn't fit his status to not make money out of it.

"Tell me how you arranged these caravans. You can't let our warships take them on this long voyage, can you? And just this trip, I'm afraid it's not worth 1000 taels of gold."

Hearing that Liu Bei's tone seemed to ease, He Shen hurriedly said: "Then my subordinates dare not let them sit on this warship even if they have a few lives. The subordinates will guarantee to coordinate the ships to send them to Liaodong, and then send them to Liaodong." They go back and forth to Jizhou."

"They set off every two months. They have a total of ten caravans. This subordinate charged them a year's fee, a total of 1200 taels of gold. This subordinate will hand over the remaining 200 taels of gold to Master Xun."

Liu Bei was indifferent when he heard this, but his heart was full of joy. Not only did he successfully remodel the warship this time, but he also unexpectedly harvested 200 taels of gold. two skills.

However, Liu Bei was sure that He Shen’s income was not limited to this, but he also decided not to pursue it anymore. He had to give He Shen some sweetness, and there was nothing to gain. He Shen might not have such a high interest in doing things in the future.

After knowing what happened, Liu Bei didn't say much, and he didn't have the crime of governing Heshen. He just said that he should not make decisions without authorization in the future. Heshen is also a human being, so he understood Liu Bei immediately. Meaning, hastily said that he would never do it again in the future.

Liu Bei waited for 2 days, and finally arrived at Huo Qubing's army. He heard the vibration of the earth from a distance, and saw that many horses were still covered with snow. Liu Bei instantly knew that the trip seemed not so easy. In the cold winter, they will not march unless it is absolutely necessary. This time, there is no other way but to come up with this bad policy.

Seeing Liu Bei and others waiting for him at the gate of the camp from a distance, Huo Qubing knelt down excitedly, and reported loudly: "The end will be delayed for several days, please forgive me, my lord!"

Seeing that Huo Qubing's face turned blue from the cold, and many soldiers were still holding the reins, how could Liu Bei blame them? He hurriedly asked Han Shizhong to send someone to cooperate with the army to station and light a fire to cook. Reward the army well.

Liu Bei kindly brought Huo Qubing into the tent, and personally poured a cup of hot wine for Huo Qubing to drink to warm his body, which made Huo Qubing very touched again.

"Qubing, I'm afraid there will be many obstacles on the way for this march, otherwise, with your impatience, you would have arrived long ago."

Huo Qubing answered with a grin, "My lord still understands me. There was a heavy snowfall in Zhongshan, which directly buried the road. I had to find my way while walking. I made several mistakes during the period. Slip, the speed has to be reduced."

Liu Bei chatted with Huo Qubing cordially, and the rest of the people looked at Huo Qubing curiously. This man turned upside down the rear of the Xiongnu and shocked the world. They never thought they were so young.

Seeing that Huo Qubing's body was warming up, Liu Bei stood up and wanted to show Huo Qubing the warship he was going to carry this time. Liu Bei wanted to see what Huo Qubing looked like when he saw the warship.

Sure enough, when Huo Qubing stood in front of these warships, his mouth was so wide open that he could almost put an egg in it. After a short moment of distraction, he quickly asked Liu Bei, are these real warships, and the ships can be so huge.

"Haha, these boats are not the ones in the river. These boats are meant to straddle the sea. A real man should conquer the sea. Come on, get on the boat quietly."

After the group boarded the ship, Liu Bei specially asked Zheng Chenggong to introduce the warship to Huo Qubing. After all, the two would cooperate wholeheartedly in the future, and Huo Qubing was still a landlubber who was not familiar with water at all, so he had to rely on Zheng Chenggong on this ship.

Huo Qubing spent an entire afternoon getting familiar with the warship. He was basically familiar with the feeling of dangling on the ship, and also mastered the general space distribution on the warship. He planned to tell the soldiers under his command how to live on the ship after returning.

That night, Liu Bei sent someone to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Each soldier had two pieces of meat and a small glass of wine in his bowl. This is unthinkable in other places. It is good enough to have a full meal. , Liu Bei and others also had a drink and chat in the tent, not only to welcome the wind for Huo Qubing, but also to practice for Huo Qubing. The voyage of this trip is unknown, and how long it will take. Huo Qubing and others plan to set off the next day.

On Shuri, as teams of soldiers led their horses onto the ship, Zheng Chenggong ordered the anchors to be put away, and the warships slowly left the harbor. Liu Bei stood on the shore and watched the warships leave. Until they turned into little black dots, I prayed in my heart that Huo Qubing and the others could go well this time.
