Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 256

Li Ming's gaze made the old woman and Lu Su feel a little restless. The old woman is fine, considering her age, she is good at nourishing her energy.It's just that Lu Su is a fifteen-year-old child after all, and he looks a little guilty, and his expression is a little unnatural.

"How much food does the prefect need?" The old woman closed her eyes, was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"It seems that there is no chance for me to play?" Bai Xin directly cast a helpless look at Li Ming. At this moment, the old woman's attitude was very clear, and she was planning to give it half.

"I guess there will be a chance for you to perform... Maybe we will go to Donghai County!" Li Ming sighed.

But he didn't want to say these words, let the old woman pause, then she cupped her hands and asked: "I don't know my lord, how much do you know?"

"Actually, I don't know anything, I just guessed... Lu's situation doesn't look good?" Li Ming looked at the old woman, and glanced at Lu Su from the corner of his eye.

"My lord, my poor son died under the conspiracy of some people." Tears flashed in the old woman's cloudy eyes.

Being a grain merchant these days is naturally the most profitable thing.The generation of Lu Su's grandfather created a huge income for the Lu family.As long as this business continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Lu family becomes the biggest rich man in Xuzhou.

Some people make money and some are jealous. Lu Su's father and grandfather "died" in less than five years, and the Lu family almost fell apart.At this time, the old woman took over the Lu family and realized the importance of 'inheritance'.

Without background, the Lu family is just an upstart, and to some people, he is still a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

As a result, part of the business was shrunk, and the grain business that had spread throughout Xuzhou was shrunk to the two counties of Xiapi State and Guangling County.Not long after quitting, the Mi family rose strongly and became the largest grain merchant in other counties of Xuzhou, with a faint intention to covet Xiapi and Guangling counties.

The family didn't have a man who could support them, and the one who appeared in front of them at this time was the old woman's nephew.He managed to stabilize the Lu family's grain trade in the two counties through vicious means, but Lu's reputation also plummeted as a result.

"He came back and found Su'er, and told him not to immerse himself in studying hard. Reading is a good thing, but if you only know how to read, you are just a nerd who doesn't understand anything." The old woman wiped her tears, "He told Lu Su that the situation is broken now. The best way is to let him go out and get in touch with others, especially the poor in the two counties, and use the money to help them."

"As time passed, Lu Su also began to gain a good reputation in the two counties. In a few years, Lu Su can be the head of the family, so he will kill his relatives righteously and deal with that hateful cousin?" Bai Xin also probably knew what happened, and couldn't help feeling emotional .

"My nephew is a good man. He intends to sacrifice himself to help the Lu family, just because he is young, and the Lu family helped him when the family was in the most difficult time, just because of such a little kindness and virtue..." At this point , The old woman also had tears in her eyes.

"Okay!" Li Ming sighed, "Let's talk about the price! How much food can you mobilize without affecting Lu's business?"

"Indeed, it's the old lady Meng Lang..." The old woman wiped her tears, "I have ordered the steward to bring over the account books. I have to look at it. It is unrealistic to sell them all to the adults. If there is any offense, please Forgive me, my lord!"

The steward just took out the account book, maybe he was waiting behind, and now he handed the account book to the old woman, who simply flipped through it, and raised her head and said: "There is a thousand shi of grain in the granary, which can be sold to adults. Some of them are new grains that were just harvested last year. The price should be the usual grain price, what do you think?"

"Three thousand stones, the price will go up by 20%. This is the price we offered!" Li Ming looked at Bai Xin, who directly pointed out three fingers, "Although we are in the officialdom, we are in the business world. Anyway, we won't let the Lu family lose money."

"Two thousand shi, no matter how Duolu's business is going to be affected." The old woman gritted her teeth, and finally decided to limit the shipment to two thousand shi. No matter what Bai Xin said, there was only two thousand shi to bring. sell.

"Let's make a deal!" Li Ming said, mainly because Bai Xin secretly gave him a hint, "Can we let us transport the food?"

"Guests, don't worry, new food is new food. Where can I get old food these years?" The old woman sighed. In recent years, there have been natural and man-made disasters. If you sell food to the disaster area, you can sell as much food as you want. There is no need to worry about food at all. Selling, there is no such thing as old grain.

"That can only show that the Lu family is indeed in a bit of decline." Li Ming smiled. The real big grain merchants may send people to buy grain from small grain merchants, and then use the monopoly method to deal with them after the price doubles. If the sales in the disaster-stricken area do not reach 300% profit, I am afraid that the grain will not be sold.The part that cannot be sold will naturally become old food.

"My lord's lesson!" The old woman didn't intend to continue to entangle with Li Ming. This guy was more a businessman than a businessman when he traded. He actually saw through his methods of dealing with scholars.

The price of wheat, grain, and corn in the Eastern Han Dynasty was about 220 ren per stone. Recently, it has increased to 300 ren, and a 20% increase is 360 ren.Two thousand shi is 720 guan, which doesn't seem like much. For a poor family, the annual cost may be less than 500 wen.

"This month's dividend will not reach [-]%. The key is how long the two thousand shi of grain can last..." Li Ming was a little bit bitter. This is using his own money to subsidize the expenses of the people.As for the government... Kuaiji County's fiscal deficit has not been a matter of a year or two.

Two thousand shi is equivalent to thirty tons for later generations, but how long can it last for tens of thousands or even more than a hundred thousand immigrants?After eating the grain on hand, and then eating up the two thousand shi of grain, if the harvest is not available, then the people will starve this year.

"How come there is a sense of sight when playing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10"..." Li Ming smiled bitterly. In order to get promoted early when playing games, he used his own money to work directly when receiving tasks, so as to earn merit points .

"Speaking of it!" Dianjie began to send people to transport food, while Li Ming looked at Lu Su, "Zijing is a good young man. Seeing that Kuaiji Academy is about to start school, why not study for two years in the past? Come out and directly work under my command. Position is optional!"

"Your Excellency?" Lu Su hadn't answered yet, but his grandmother was a little excited.

"Zijing's potential is worthy of this evaluation, but don't be complacent because of it, or you will become Zhong Yong." Li Ming smiled and nodded, and it was only after he finished speaking that he realized whether he had said something wrong.

"Who is Zhongyong?" Lu Su approached out of curiosity.

"It's just a matter of hearsay... well... I'll tell you about it..." Li Ming smiled wryly. He definitely couldn't remember the whole article, so he could only talk about it roughly.

"Zijing, you must not be that Zhongyong!" The old grandmother said to Lu Su very solemnly after hearing Li Ming's story.

"Grandmother, don't worry, grandson will definitely keep it in mind!" Lu Su said quickly, his eyes showing incomparable firmness.

"As for the adults who value you, then you should go to Kuaiji Academy to study for a few years! The strong rise of the Mi family is inevitable, and the Lu family must either change their careers or move away. Kuaiji may also be a good direction!" The old grandmother sighed. Lu Su said.

"Grandmother..." Lu Su bowed solemnly to his grandmother, who was really worried about the Lu family.

"My lord, the Lu family has [-] shi of grain, which can be sold at the market price to your lord!" The old grandmother looked at Li Ming and said, clasping her hands
　In fact, Zhou Yu was the same as Li Ming back then. He brought more than 300 people directly to the door to borrow food. As for "borrowing"... huh...

　　As a result, Lu Su told Zhou Yu that I only had two warehouses of grain and 6000 Dendrobium (stone), and then directly gave him [-] Dendrobium. Anyway, even if I borrowed it, I would definitely not be able to pay it back.As a result, Zhou Yu was embarrassed to say goodbye, so he became a confidant with Lu Su, and the latter also took advantage of Zhou Yu's recommendation to take the position in Sun Wu.

　　At the same time, it can be seen that the Lu family had no power at the time, and when Zhou Yu's 300 people called, they had to admit defeat.
