Chapter 108: You’re so good at pretending, you have to finish it with tears in your eyes(1/3)

In the autumn and winter of the 20th year of Jian'an, the dry season is coming.

At this special time, Jiangling City seems to be surrounded by a fog of confusion.

The "magical" ordnance that suddenly appeared suddenly cast a heavy layer of dark clouds over the sky in Jingzhou. The situation was changing and the undercurrent was surging.

But this morning, in the foggy morning light, inside the thief Cao Yu's mansion... the shouts of the owner of the room, the Fourth Young Master Guan Lin, had already been heard.

——"Two hundred chariots, a thousand crossbows, a hundred wooden oxen and stray horses."

——"The price I can offer is 150,000 dendrobium of grain."

——"Is this price enough to show sincerity?"

Guan Lin brazenly announced his price in front of Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi. He didn't seem to be hiding it at all, and he didn't want anyone to hear it.

This is his character...

——No taboos

The government officials and civil servants here have long been accustomed to this.

On the other hand, the eyes of the various forces outside the door couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking when they heard this offer.

——Fifteen thousand dendrobium, such a high price!

No wonder these eyes were surprised.

According to the records of the "Taibai Yin Jing", an army of 12,500 people consumes 90,000 shi (Dendrobium) a year, various non-staple foods within 147,500 shi (Dendrobium), salt

Two thousand two hundred and fifty stones (dendrobium)…

Convert it.

Calculated according to this standard, if the consumption of horses is not taken into account, and people are considered alone, 150,000 dendrobium of grain is enough to cover the expenses of an army of 10,000 people for ten months!

If you save a little bit, you can even cover your expenses for a year!

And Guan Lin's quotation is equivalent to using this expense to only buy... two thousand people's ordnance.

certainly…

Considering yesterday's sidecars, crossbows, wooden oxen and flowing horses, they were magnificent under the Victory Bridge.

Taking into account the fourth son Guan Lin's vow yesterday, although the price of these 150,000 dendrobium grains is a bit high, it is not surprising.

Mi Fang, on the other hand, was sitting in the prefect's mansion and relayed the news immediately with his eyes. When he heard the quotation of 150,000 dendrobium, everyone else was stunned.

He is a man who loves money...

Although the money in Jiangling City's treasury may not be as loved as the private wealth of his Mi family, but... 150,000 dendrobium of grain is too high.

The fat on Mi Fang's chubby cheeks was trembling. While he complained about the rising prices, he murmured to himself: "Guan Lin, this kid? Isn't it just the 50,000 dendrobium grains from my Mi family? He

…When did he have 150,000 dendrobium? Where did these extra 100,000 dendrobium come from?”

Is it possible…

He...is he still doing other business?"

Once this idea appeared, it was difficult for Mi Fang not to think about it.

In addition, although he didn't have much contact with Guan Lin, this kid always gave him an unfathomable feeling that "the sea water is immeasurable".

He can also change from nine thousand to one hundred thousand, and if fifty thousand can be turned into one hundred and fifty thousand, isn't that easy?

The more I think about it...

Mi Fang became more and more thoughtful.

——"Compared with this kid...how do you feel that you don't make much money by selling arms? What's more, you put your head on your waist and worry about it every day?"

People are afraid of comparing...

Comparing with Guan Lin, Mi Fang felt... what the hell kind of life was he living?

Suddenly, reselling arms no longer feels good!

——"I have to ask this guy tomorrow how he makes money, and if possible, let him take care of us!"

Over here, Mi Fang is already having wild thoughts.

Over there...

The thief Cao Pufu's quotations are still going on.

Seeing the silence of Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi, Guan Lin opened his mouth and said, "Tell me, how long will it take to deliver the goods?"

"Fourth Young Master is indeed full of sincerity. Of course...this batch of ordnance...are all ready-made...can be delivered at any time, and we have already shipped them to Jingzhou in advance."

While Shi Huolong answered, his eyes kept blinking, as if trying to dodge Guan Lin's gaze, "It's just... Fourth Young Master, can you give us some time to think about it, and allow us to report who the master is!"

It is said that it is reported to the owner, but in fact... it is to compare prices with three others.

Guan Lin saw through it and said, "Okay, three days is all. Since you have shipped it to Jingzhou in advance, it won't be a delay. After considering it, we can trade at any time... Of course, this is the greatest sincerity I can show."

!”

Guan Lin maintained his high-pitched voice as always.

This time...

Not only Guan Lin, but all the eyes outside the door knew that this batch of goods was actually already in Jingzhou.

Of course, this is reasonable.

The arms business... often looks for precise customers.

This kind of transaction will change later, so... often before the price is negotiated, some arms dealers will quietly transport the arms to nearby areas, often hiding them in deep mountains and caves.

Once the transaction is confirmed, the money and goods are cleared... and there is nothing more to worry about.

If the negotiations break down, then quietly send them away in batches in small quantities. This is the safest way, and it is also an established rule in black market transactions.

Naturally, it didn't attract much attention.

"Thank you, Fourth Young Master..." Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi bowed their hands to Guan Lin.

Guan Lin patted the two of them on the shoulders meaningfully, and said with a smile: "You two, take care of yourselves. 150,000 dendrobiums, after passing this village, there will be no more shops like this!"

Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi looked at each other...

They were both thinking...

In terms of acting skills, it has to be Mr. Guan!

real…

It’s so true!





A clean pair of black boots with white soles and embroidery stepped lightly on the fallen leaves.

Lu Xun walked to the courtyard with a heavy heart and looked at the gate with longing eyes... his heart was full of emotions and he was extremely sad.

Life is like this, you have to pretend even if you have tears in your eyes.

At this moment, Lu Xun deeply realized...

Why don't you pretend to be cool? If you pretend to be cool, you will be struck by lightning.

Just now, when he heard Guan Lin's quotation for the 150,000 hu of grain, he felt bad.

What...what's going on?

How can you quote 150,000 dendrobium?

This Guan Lin, does he know the price of ordnance?

You know, the price of a horse today ranges from 20,000 to 200,000 yuan. According to the price of one hu, which is equal to 500 yuan, this price can buy thousands of inferior horses.

It is enough to just raise a low-end cavalry team.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is, Lu Xun asked Sun Ru to quote "twice" to You Tanzhi...

No matter how much Guan Lin paid, he paid twice as much...

So twice as much as 150,000 dendrobium... wouldn't it be 300,000 dendrobium?

This pussy is too big!

Lu Xun had immediately asked his wife Sun Ru to see You Tanzhi. Although he knew that 150,000 yuan was a premium, the Lu Family Army... But he, Lu Xun, needed these weapons too much.

This is an opportunity for him to climb up step by step!

——250,000 hu of grain.

This is Lu Xun’s bottom line…

Sun Ru has already gone to talk... Now half an hour has passed, and the waiting people are getting more and more anxious. Lu Xun looks at the gate outside the courtyard with longing eyes, his eyes full of expectation.
To be continued...
