Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 139 Talent
Li Yan looked at Lu Bu's questioning gaze, although he was calm on the surface, but he was actually very excited in his heart.

He is from Fan County, and his family does not have a thousand hectares of fertile land. He is just an ordinary wealthy family.

When donating food, many people immediately stopped to wait and see when they knew that Cao Cao was coming, because only the victors could bring them more benefits.

Li Yan's father had originally planned to do so. He planned to wait until the matter became clear before deciding whether to donate food.

After all, the amount of donations is not a small burden for his family, and it can even be said that he will give up everything.

After Li Yan heard the news, he immediately went back to persuade his father, never stop, and told his father that this was the best opportunity.

When everyone donated food, in fact, although everyone donated food, but because the amount was equal, no one had an advantage.

Now everyone is suspending donations. Although donations at this time are still the same amount of food, they can have a considerable advantage.

Li Yan's father asked him, if Lu Bu failed and was driven out of Yanzhou, wouldn't it be a waste of food?
Li Yan did not agree with this point of view. He always believed that this was the best opportunity. Even if Lu Bu was defeated, but with so many people supporting him, he believed that he would make a comeback sooner or later.

After Cao Cao was defeated, Li Yan's father repeatedly praised his son's good vision, because those who donated in advance donated as much as before, and now they donate twice as much as before.

They donate twice as little as others, and still get the biggest advantage, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Bu looked at Li Yan, wanting to hear what he had to say, Xu Si leaned into his ear and whispered.

"Marquis Wen, his name is Li Yan. When most people heard that Cao Mengde was coming, they all stopped to watch. There were only a few people who were willing to donate food when we were fighting, and he was one of them. "

When Lu Bu heard Xu Si's words, he turned his head to look at Li Yan's eyes, and he felt a little more favorable, and his tone was much gentler.

By doing this, Li Yan is doing his best to help himself. Lu Bu has never been stingy with smiling faces to those who support him.

"Li Yan, tell me, do you have any good suggestions?"

Li Yan saw that after Lu Bu heard Xu Si say a few words in a low voice, his tone immediately became gentle, and his heart became somewhat clearer, and he was even more sure that his decision was right.

"Reporting to Marquis Wen, the furniture is very large, and it is quite inconvenient to transport it long distances, and the speed should not be too fast, otherwise it will be easily damaged.

Transporting such a large object will definitely require a lot of manpower and material resources, and it will also increase more consumption virtually.

Yanzhou has just experienced locust plagues and droughts, and it is the time when there is a shortage of food. If a large amount of food is consumed during the transportation, the situation at this time is also very unfavorable. "

Hearing Li Yan's words, Xu Si hurriedly asked, "Li Yan, do you have a way to solve the transportation problem?"

Xu Si has gone to see the furniture, and it is really big. If you want to transport it, it will not only increase the cost, but also increase the possibility of damage.

If this problem can be solved, it will be of great help in the future.

Lu Bu has led troops to fight for so many years, so he naturally knows the importance of food, as well as the amount and horror of food consumed every day.

If the caravan transports too many people, the food consumed will also increase. At that time, the money from selling furniture may not be enough to buy food.

Li Yan hurriedly cupped his hands, "I have a way to solve this problem, but I don't know if it's suitable, please advise Marquis Wen."

Having said that, Li Yan paused for a moment, and then said, "As long as it is transported, there will be the disadvantages mentioned just now. Therefore, we cannot transport, or we cannot transport long distances."

As soon as Li Yan's words fell, a voice suddenly appeared in the crowd, "Li Yan, you can't transport it, should you fly over?"

"Hey, I think it's okay, why don't you let Li Yan stand next to the furniture, blow hard, and it will pass easily."

Everyone in the room was extremely flexible in their minds. When they heard Li Yan's words, they immediately trembled in their hearts. Knowing that their opponent had appeared, they all spoke out to suppress them.

Only by suppressing the opponent so much that he can't lift his head can he show his ability.

Although Lu Bu didn't speak, Zhang Hu was furious, stepped forward, and said in a cold voice, "There is no order from Marquis Wen, if anyone speaks again, be careful with your head."

When everyone heard the words, their expressions of fright changed, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to speak anymore.

Lu Bu was also a little curious, "Li Yan, let's go on, if there is no long-distance transportation, how should we send it there?"

Li Yan hurriedly cupped his hands, "Dare to ask Marquis Wen, where do you want to sell the furniture?"

Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at Xu Si, Xu Si hurriedly said, "The temporary plan is Jizhou and Xuzhou, plus Qingzhou."

Li Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Dexian, if we send people to these three states to make furniture locally, won't we save the trouble of transportation?"

Hearing these words, Lu Bu and Xu Si looked at each other, and they both saw approval in each other's eyes.

"Li Yan, very good, you step back first, after the end, you and Dexian will make a careful calculation to see if it is feasible?"

Hearing this, Li Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

After Li Yan retreated into the crowd, he immediately felt envious and jealous eyes coming from around him.

But he didn't care, because he knew that in this hall, only Lu Bu decided his fate, and the words of the rest were ignored.

The appearance of Li Yan lifted Lu Bu's spirits, and he looked forward to these people a little more.

Some people, although not celebrities, may have been buried for various reasons.

Xu Si stepped forward and said, "If you have any suggestions, just say them out, as long as they are reasonable, Marquis Wen will definitely adopt them."

This time, there was no enthusiastic speech like the last time, because everyone knew that without unique insights, Lu Bu might not take him seriously, so it would be better not to say anything.

After a long time, when Lu Bu felt disappointed again, a thin young man looked around and walked out cautiously.

"Reporting to Marquis Wen, Xia Lu Fan, a native of Dong'e, has a little opinion, I don't know if it's right, please advise Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu nodded, "Go ahead."

Lu Fan handed over his hand and said, "I believe that we can indeed produce furniture in other places, but the profits must be shared in order to last."

"Oh?"

Lu Bu frowned, "Lu Fan, why do you want to share, and with whom?"

Lu Fan cupped his hands and said, "We are still out of town, and we will inevitably be restrained. If we can find someone to solve this problem for us, we will be much more relaxed."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan paused, and said with a smile, "But why should he solve these problems for us, so we have to share some of the profits we get with him.

As long as he gets benefits and encounters troubles, I am afraid he will solve them for us without our intervention. Although he will pay some profits, it will last longer. "

Hearing what Lu Fan said, Lu Bu nodded with a smile, "Lu Fan, you are fine too, stay here later."

Hearing this, Lu Fan was overjoyed and cupped his hands again and again, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

He knew very well that as long as Lu Bu allowed him to stay, it meant training him, which was what he dreamed of.

Afterwards, everyone present also understood that if they did not have unique insights and really useful methods, they might not be able to be reused by Lu Bu.

So, everyone racked their brains and began to search for a way to really help this matter.

These old men from rich families are almost the business elites in Yanzhou. These people use their brains and are naturally extremely flexible. Next, they also came up with many useful methods.

……

The next day, Lv Bu issued an appointment. Li Yan and Lu Fan acted as Xu Si's deputy and managed the furniture affairs for the time being. The rest of the people also received rewards. Some were in charge of furniture production in other places, and some were in charge .

As Lu Bu's order was conveyed, the matter of the furniture immediately proceeded in an orderly manner.

For the sake of confidentiality and safety, the first batch of people who went to produce furniture were all selected local people in Yanzhou, and they also went to various places separately with the supervisors in various places.

The matter of furniture has already taken shape, and Xu Si brought the second piece of good news.

In the study room, Lu Bu and Xu Si knelt at the table facing each other, looking at the objects on the table, their eyes were full of excitement.

A piece of soft cloth was spread on the table, and on this square cloth, these four wine glasses were placed.

The glass is crystal clear, shining brightly under the refraction of the sunlight coming in through the pane.

Lu Bu picked up one of the cups and fondled it lovingly, "It's really good, I never thought it could be made so perfectly without any flaws."

Xu Si, who is usually very serious, now also opened his mouth wide with a smile, "Wenhou, Dechu, already said that since the experiment has been successful, this kind of object can be mass-produced."

Lu Bu put down the glass, "Smiled and said, I'm afraid these glasses in front of us can be sold for a lot of money."

Xu Si nodded, "I'm afraid it's just these four cups that can be exchanged for a lot of food. I'm really looking forward to it."

While the two were talking, suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door, "Qi report to Marquis Wen, Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Meng Zhuo are here."

Lu Bu hurriedly waved, "Please invite them in quickly."

As the words fell, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao walked in from the door, "I met Marquis Wen."

After the two saluted, their eyes were immediately attracted by the four glasses on the table.

"Marquis Wen, what is this? Is it Liuli?"

Chen Gong waved his hand, "No, even the best colored glaze can't reach this level of finish."

Lu Bu waved to the two of them, "Come on, come and see, how much is this thing worth?"

The two came to the table and sat down. Chen Gong reached out and picked up a glass to examine it carefully. He suddenly realized and asked in surprise, "Marquis Wen, is this glass?"

Lu Bu nodded, "That's right, Dechu has already made it. I came to you today just to discuss it."

Xu Si arched his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Meng Zhuo have so much knowledge, what is the value of this thing?"

These words were not Xu Si's flattery, but a sincere inquiry.

Chen Gong and Zhang Miao are very famous, they have contacted many people, and their knowledge is naturally extensive.

Zhang Miao picked up the glass, looked at it, and said with a smile, "A glazed glass can still sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This glass is better than the glazed glass, and the price should be more expensive."

Chen Gong nodded, turned to look at Xu Bang, and asked tentatively, "Dexian, what is the production capacity of this kind of glass, how many days can one be produced?"

Hearing this, Xu Si suddenly burst into laughter, and hurriedly waved his hands, "Mr. Gongtai, instead of producing one in a few days, you will produce many in a day."

"what?"

Chen Gong's eyes widened, and he looked at Xu Si in surprise, "Dexian, are you serious?"

Xu Si arched his hands, and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Gongtai, here is Marquis Wen, how dare you talk nonsense?"

Zhang Miao looked at the glass in his hand with bright eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "If we can produce so much a day, won't we make a lot of money?"

Chen Gong frowned, then waved his hands, turned to look at Xu Bang with a solemn expression, "Mr. Dexian, the secret of glass production must never be known to anyone."

Speaking of this, Chen Gong paused, and said solemnly, "Mr. Dexian, especially the production of glass cups, absolutely must not let anyone know."

Zhang Miao came to his senses, "Gongtai, you mean to say that rare things are more expensive?"

Chen Gong nodded, "Even if we can produce a lot every day, we can't produce too much, otherwise, the value of glass will definitely decrease."

Xu Si said slowly, "If you don't produce too much, the number of people who need to produce will not be too many. As long as the supervision is in place, the secret can be kept."

Zhang Miao waved his hand, "I don't think it's better than this. If someone asks, just say that it was shipped from other places, so the price is expensive, and don't tell them that it was actually produced in Yanzhou."

Chen Gong nodded, "That's good too, we can make rare things more expensive, and the price will naturally not drop."

Lu Bu waved his hand, picked up a glass, and said with a smile, "Gongtai, let's think about it quickly, how to sell it, or put it in our hands, no matter how good it is, we won't be able to exchange it for money." ah."

Zhang Miao said with a smile, "How about we send the glass to Xuzhou, Huainan, and Jingzhou?"

Chen Gong turned to look at Zhang Miao, and asked slowly, "Meng Zhuo, why not Jizhou?"

Zhang Miao's expression froze, and then he waved his hand with a wry smile, "Gongtai, it's not clear whether Jizhou and us are friends or foes, how can we sell things to them?"

Chen Gong picked up a glass and suddenly laughed, "Meng Zhuo, is the glass a threat to us?"

Zhang Miao shook his head, "It's just a cup, how could it be a threat?"

Chen Gong said slowly, "Meng Zhuo, no matter how many cups we sell to Jizhou, it will not pose any threat to us."

Speaking of this, Chen Gong suddenly sneered, "Meng Zhuo, but the money we exchanged for cups can bring back too much food in Jizhou. Tell me, isn't this bad?"

Hearing this, Zhang Miao immediately realized and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, sell the cup to Yuan Benchu, and then exchange all his food back, haha."
