The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Because the smell on Xiu'er itself smells good." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he also realized that something was wrong.

Xiu'er left quickly with a flushed face. Such words made her feel difficult to deal with.

Seeing Xiu'er running away, Lu Bu laughed it off.

What he is making is soap that is very common in later generations. If this kind of thing appears in this era, it will definitely attract the attention of dignitaries. Not much, and the rewards may be great.

The next day, after Lu Bu had been busy, he showed a satisfied smile. The soap was cut into four inches long and two inches wide for him, and filled the table.

Putting six pieces of soap that looked good in appearance into an exquisite small wooden box, Lu Bu said, "Send this to Xiu'er."

"Here." The maid carefully held the box in both hands and headed towards Xiu'er's residence.

Xiu'er has a high status in Lu Bu's house, ordinary servants, who are not respectful in front of Lu Bu, dare not make the slightest mistake, people who have seen Xiu'er's appearance, even if they are women Can't help but take a second look.

The fact that Xiu'er lives in the Governor's Mansion shows that Lu Bu has a good impression of Xiu'er, and naturally the servants will not offend Xiu'er who may become the future mistress.

"Tell Mi Zhu to come to the Governor's Mansion." Lu Bu cast his eyes on a guard.

Mi Zhu is quite strategic in business. After becoming Xuzhou's Biejia, Mi Zhu has made greater progress in vision and knowledge. Even Mi Zhu himself did not expect that the dignified Xuzhou Biejia would start doing business again , and it is the order of the new state pastor.

After receiving Lu Bu's order, Mi Zhu did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He put down the business at hand and went to the State Shepherd's Mansion. Very low, it still represents orthodoxy, and officials appointed by the imperial court are orthodox.

Even if the princes hate Dong Zhuo, they have to admit this, but they now have great power in the appointment of officials, and it is impossible for the court to dictate to them.

The key point is that Lu Bu's Xuzhou Mu's position has been approved by Xuzhou officials. At this time, no one would dare to disobey Lu Bu's order.

The power is in hand, and Lu Bu is the master of Xuzhou at this time.

"Sit down, Zizhong." Without waiting for Mi Zhu to salute, Lu Bu said directly.

The time of contact with Lu Bu was not short, and Mi Zhu had a certain understanding of Lu Bu's character, so he bowed his hands and saluted.

"Zizhong, let's look at this." Lu Bu put the soap on the table in front of him.

Mi Zhu took it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't know why, but the object exuded a faint fragrance, which seemed to him to be spiced.

After following the method given by Lu Bu, Mi Zhu's eyes lit up. The Mi family has grown stronger under his hands. In business, Mi Zhu has an extraordinary talent. After a little thought, he understood the value of this thing.

Chapter 41 Incredible profits, immortal jade

"If Zizhong is responsible for selling this item, there must be a lot of profit." Lu Bu laughed.

Mi Zhu got up and saluted solemnly: "Thanks to my lord's trust, I will do my best in this humble position."

Lu Bu nodded slightly, "Zizhong is indeed wronged when he is in charge of business, but in my opinion, whether it is business or an official, if he can achieve the ultimate, he will also be dare not be underestimated."

"Humble job understands." Mi Zhu said, "How much money does it take to make this thing?"

A businessman pursues profit, and Mi Zhu is no exception.

"From Zizhong's point of view, how much can this thing sell for?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.

Mi Zhu pondered for a moment and said: "The humble official is confident that this item can be sold in the surrounding states and counties. Those who buy this item must be dignitaries."

"Grand officials and nobles pay attention to face, and they don't pay too much attention to the amount of money. I have never seen this item before, and the price of [-] yuan is quite appropriate."

Lu Bu's heart moved, six hundred yuan is not a small sum, and it can buy five shi of rice, which is enough for ordinary people to consume for more than a month. It does not mean that ordinary people can supply rice like soldiers in the army. They are extremely economical in food and clothing.

"The cost of this thing is low, and it only needs a hundred dollars to make hundreds of dollars." Lu Bu laughed.

Mi Zhu's eyes widened when he heard this, one hundred coins made one hundred yuan, and if it was sold at six hundred yuan a piece, it would be 100 yuan, even if the operating expenses were excluded, the profit would be astonishing.

"Is my lord's statement true?" After Mi Zhu asked, he hurriedly said, "This subordinate made a slip of the tongue."

"Just sell it at the 550 yuan a piece that Zizhong said, and Zizhong took the goods from the general, and then sold them at a price of [-] yuan." Lu Bu said.

Mi Zhu excitedly said: "Thank you, my lord, I will do my best in a humble position."

With this thing, Mi Zhu is confident that the strength of the Mi family can be further improved, and even the proud family will have to send someone to negotiate with him.

"All the money earned from the humble business operation of this thing will be handed over to the warehouse, and will never be kept private." Mi Zhu added.

Now that they decided to rely on Lu Bu, the Mi family must show something, and Lu Bu's ability to tell the cost of this item in front of him is a great trust in itself.

"This general's decision cannot be changed. If there is a merchant who needs a lot, the price can be negotiated, but it can't be lower than five hundred yuan." Lu Bu said, in the future, Mi Zhu will not only come into contact with people who buy this item, but also buy it. There are merchants.

If businessmen can't get profits, how can they come to Xuzhou.

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

"This thing doesn't have a name yet, so Zizhong should choose one for it," Lu Bu said.

Mi Zhu frowned and thought for a long time, "My lord, this thing is as crystal clear as jade. After use, it has a faint lingering fragrance. If you don't, you can call it fairy jade."

"Okay, let's name this object after Xianyu." Lu Bu said, after being stained with the word "Xianyu", it looks much taller.

"It's best for immortal jade to be decorated by someone with exquisite craftsmanship. If so, immortal jade will definitely be sought after by dignitaries." Mi Zhu said.

Lu Bu nodded, and then Mi Zhu put forward many suggestions, such as providing the fairy jade with an exquisite box, which looks more high-end. If the people who buy the fairy jade know that they want the fairy jade, even the price of the box is not as good. I don't know what kind of feeling I will have.

Lu Bu ordered people to secretly build a workshop outside the city, which was specially responsible for the production of immortal jade. This object was an important foundation for Lu Bu to accumulate his first fortune after coming to the Han Dynasty. , Lu Bu can get a steady stream of money.

"Brother." Not long after Mi Zhu left, Xiu'er came over, "This is ginseng soup made by a little girl."

Lu Bu took a sip of the ginseng soup and said, "Xiu'er's craftsmanship is pretty good."

"If eldest brother likes it, it would be nice for Xiu'er to make ginseng soup for eldest brother every day." Xiu'er showed a look of expectation.

Lu Bu was at a loss for words, ginseng soup can nourish the body, drinking ginseng soup every day, although this kind of life is very luxurious, but can the body bear it?

"Once every three days is enough, the body can't take it too much." Lu Bu laughed.

Xiu'er nodded and said, "Understood."

"Xiu'er likes the things sent by elder brother, thank you, elder brother." After finishing speaking, Xiu'er walked away quickly, leaving behind a faint fragrance.

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Why are you panicking like this? Could it be possible that this general can still eat you?"

The dignitaries in the city received invitations from Biejia Mansion.

Mi Zhu can be regarded as a respectable figure in the city, even though there are many literati secretly slandering the Mi family's business practices, there are many people who envy them. After Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, he still valued the Mi family, and even decided to marry Mi Zhu. The younger sister is a concubine.

Taking a concubine is a very common thing, and a concubine does not have a high status in the family, but it depends on whose concubine it is. The Mi family's actions like this obviously intend to go the same way as Lu Bu.

There was a banquet in Biejia Mansion, and officials from the city went there one after another. When these officials left, each of them took two pieces of immortal jade with them.

Mi Zhu actually told these officials the method to use, but many officials put the things aside after returning home, and even thought that Mi Zhu was making a big fuss, but it was just a small piece of stuff, and even called it fairy jade, saying Don't be afraid of other people's jokes when you go out.

Officials don't care about this, but people in the mansion are different. After using it, it is not only clean, but also leaves a faint afterglow.

In just a few days, the immortal jade caused quite a commotion among the dignitaries and dignitaries of Pengcheng. The person who went to Biejia Mansion was an important official of Pengcheng. There were so many people in the family. But it gave these officials a headache.

In particular, some officials' wives didn't even get the fairy jade, which was a big deal. Many officials' families had a lot of quarrels about the fairy jade.

But anyone who becomes an official has a good face, and couldn't bear the softness and stubbornness of his family, so he decided to go to Biejiafu to ask where to buy it here.

There are also exchanges between high-ranking officials and nobles. The fairy jade presented by the Biejia Mansion does not mean that ordinary officials can get it. When high-ranking officials communicate with each other, they will have a comparison mentality. What is currently causing a sensation in Pengcheng is Xianyu, the communication between them is naturally indispensable.

The dignitaries who had never used immortal jade began to look for a way to buy immortal jade.

Some officials are even discussing the matter of immortal jade in private, and officials who have used immortal jade also appreciate it.

Mi Zhu observed all this in secret, and was very satisfied. If Xianyu wants to spread it in Xuzhou, it will definitely need means, but as long as it spreads in one place, the rest will be much easier. There are also differences among businessmen. communicative.

Chapter 42 The sale of fairy jade, the matter of war horses

Through this method, the fairy jade can be spread quickly in nearby states and counties.

Stimulated by the huge profits, Mi Zhu seemed much more excited. After taking refuge in Lu Bu, he needed to prove his own strength. The Mi family had already decided to tie up with Lu Bu. Only those who had value would get more appointments.

And in the process of selling the fairy jade, the Mi family reaped a lot of profit. One hundred and fifty dollars is inconspicuous. If it is tens of thousands of dollars, what kind of amount will it be? Moreover, fairy jade is a consumable, after use , still need to continue to buy.

Immortal Jade caused a sensation among the dignitaries and nobles in Pengcheng, completely within Mi Zhu's expectation. Once Immortal Jade comes out, it will definitely be respected by nobles.

The nobles are also the important place for Mi Zhu to earn money. It is impossible to rely on the power of ordinary people to buy immortal jade. Wealth is controlled by a family with fewer people.

Mi Zhu directly announced that tomorrow Mi's restaurant will sell immortal jade at a price of [-] renminbi.

Mi's restaurant sells fairy jade, which is good news for dignitaries who are chasing this item, but after the head of the aristocratic family heard the news, he couldn't calm down. Through fairy jade, huge profits can be obtained.

The main thing is that other people don't know how the fairy jade is made, which also cuts off their behavior of grabbing business from it. Monopoly is very different from the secret competition of ordinary families.

The Mi's Restaurant is quite well-known in Pengcheng, and it is one of the Mi's properties.

On the second day, thousands of pieces of immortal jade were sold out as soon as they were released.

And Lu Bu also saw Mi Zhu's ability to do business. Originally, he planned to spend [-] yuan a piece of immortal jade, but Mi Zhu distinguished some more exquisitely made immortal jade from ordinary-looking immortal jade. thousands of dollars.

What the dignitaries care about is face, money is just the amount, they are extremely generous in their hands.

Selling thousands of yuan at a time, the money obtained reached as much as 80 yuan. Mi Zhu was also a little dumbfounded at such a speed of money coming in.

After listening to Mi Zhu's report, Lu Bu nodded in satisfaction, "Some things about Xianyu must be kept secret."

"This subordinate understands." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

"The general wants to buy a batch of excellent war horses, do you have any connections?" Lu Bu asked.

War horses are essential for cavalry. Without them, the combat effectiveness of cavalry will be greatly reduced. Lu Bu attaches great importance to the development of cavalry. Only then can we go further.

If before, Lu Bu wanted to buy a batch of excellent war horses, he would have doubts, but now he doesn't. Having immortal jade in his hands is no different from stealing money from an aristocratic family.

"Excellent war horses are expensive. Although people in Xuzhou raise horses, they are mostly used to transport goods, but they cannot be equipped in the army. Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Youzhou all have war horses, and they are excellent." Mi Zhu said: "If you say The best war horses should be war horses on the prairie, and the war horses on the prairie are not only excellent, but also cheaper in price."

"My subordinate knows someone who sells war horses. This person often goes outside the Great Wall, and after returning to the Great Wall, he sells them at a high price."

"Oh? Who is this person?" Lu Bu showed interest. He naturally knew the quality of the horses on the grassland. Why the Xianbei people galloped on the grasslands, even the big man had no choice but to stick to it. Excellence is inseparable.

War horses are expensive. Ordinary war horses cost about [-] yuan, and excellent war horses even cost [-] yuan, or even more.

"Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping." Mi Zhu said slowly.

"Let these two people come to see the general." Lu Bu said, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were well-known horse dealers in the late Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei had received their help.

Mi Zhu said: "The whereabouts of these two people are erratic, and the humble job is doing their best."

The fairy jade caused quite a commotion in the city. Some families began to inquire in secret. Where did these fairy jades that suddenly appeared in Pengcheng come from and how could they be made? Money, even if spices are added, it wouldn't be so expensive.

But this thing was made by Mi Zhu of Biejia Mansion, and he wanted to find out how to make this thing. One can imagine the difficulty. Mi Zhu is a shrewd businessman.

Many officials even secretly suspected that there was Lu Bu behind this incident. After Lu Bu arrived, immortal jade appeared in the city. How could such a coincidence happen.

Lu Bu left these matters to Mi Zhu, so he was relieved. Besides, Mi Zhu had never been in touch with the production of immortal jade, so even if Mi Zhu wanted to tell others how to do it, it was impossible.

The next day, Lu Bu was extremely generous and directly gave each official five pieces of immortal jade, not only that, but also officials from other counties in Xuzhou.

Such a move is beyond description. Five pieces of immortal jade cost at least [-] yuan. It is just how much money is needed for this order from Lu Bu. Of course, this item comes from the Mi family and has the support of the Mi family. , naturally nothing.

But this is enough to show Lu Bu's concern for the officials under his rule.

Lu Bu did this because he followed Mi Zhu's suggestion. After the fairy jade is sent out, it can have an effect in a faster time. Pengcheng's high-ranking officials and nobles are all using it. After the officials of other counties learn about it, they will definitely become more crazy .

After the officials from the State Shepherd's Mansion left, Jia Xu said, "Marquis Wen, I have ordered people to secretly inquire about Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou."

Lu Bu said: "Inquiring about information will definitely require a lot of money as a support. After you go back, you can order someone to go to the warehouse to collect millions of dollars."

Jia Xu's expression changed slightly, a million dollars is not a small sum, although the financial resources of the State Shepherd's Mansion can be used, but there are many places where money is needed to govern a state, and too much is leaned on the inquiry report , there will always be some inappropriateness.

Seemingly seeing Jia Xu's concerns, Lu Bu smiled and said, "The fairy jade in your hand was made by the General, so don't you worry that there will be no money for it?"

Suddenly, Jia Xu clasped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen's methods are admirable for my humble position."

"The princes of the world criticized this general verbally, and I will let them see that it is wishful thinking to drive this general out of Xuzhou." Lu Bu laughed.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "The humble official will definitely do his best to help Marquis Wen."

"I will not be an ungrateful person, and I will never forget the efforts you have made." Lu Bu solemnly said.
