Chapter 599 Huge Trade Profits

After closing the box containing the prescriptions, Shang Ji asked in a low voice, "Feng Xian, where did these things come from?"

"Hey, General, we are not doing business with Ke Bineng and the others..."

"Hush!"

Shang Ji was taken aback, looked around nervously, and found that everyone didn't seem to notice the situation here, so he got up and grabbed Lu Bu, and walked to the side hall next to him.

Compared with Ke, they can engage in arms trade. It can be done, but it must not be said! What's more, it is still in public, this is a blatant crime of treason!

This Lu Bu is too careless, to say such a confidential matter.

"General, Bu made a slip of the tongue, forgive me!"

Walking to the side hall, Lu Bu also noticed something was wrong, and he bowed his hand to Shang Ji with some embarrassment.

"Fengxian, you are now the master of one side, shouldering heavy responsibilities, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not act so rashly!"

"The general's golden and jade words, Bu will remember!"

"Well, it's good that Fengxian understands! Let's talk about the previous topic! Where did these Danfang Fengxian come from?"

Speaking of Danfang, Lu Bu was a little excited again, and said excitedly: "The general does not know that the civil war between Ke Bineng and Budugen has reached a fever pitch, and the two have fought a real battle. The demand for weapons and equipment is also getting stronger. Thanks to the general, Bu also made a fortune."

"However, Xianbei's wealth is not inexhaustible. In order to pay for the goods, Kebi Neng proposed bartering. These alchemy recipes are part of it. It is said that they are unique secret recipes of the Xianbei clan. Bu has no skilled alchemists, so he remembered The general. Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, dedicate this to the general!"

"Feng Xian has a heart!"

Shang Ji nodded, and said with some concern: "Feng Xian, these pills are too sinister and against the harmony of nature, it's better to use them with caution, otherwise they will easily become the target of public criticism!"

Thinking about the introduction of the attributes of the Mixin Puppet Pill, Shang Ji felt chills down his back. If the princes of the world knew about it, what storm would it cause?

In addition, Lu Bu didn't have a good alchemist under his command, so did Shang Ji have one?

Several of the high-level alchemy recipes require a grand master-level alchemist to use, but only the Liu family in Pingzhou meets the requirements.

Let Liu Shi go to refine this sinister elixir?

Don't be funny, Shang Ji doesn't want to be homeless.

"Yeah, Bu knows, the general doesn't need to worry!"

Lu Bu nodded again and again, but seeing his casual expression, Shang Ji doubted whether he had taken these words to heart.

"It's good to know the pros and cons of it first!"

Shang Ji sighed slightly in his heart, and didn't remind him again. After all, he and Lu Bu are only quasi-allies, and a reminder is enough. It's best if Lu Bu can listen to it, but it's fine if he can't. We are adults and need to take responsibility for our actions.

"By the way, I heard Feng Xian mentioned the deal with Ke Bineng just now, what, how is the deal recently?"

"Hahaha, just to let the general know that in the past few months, in response to the war with Budugen, Kebi Neng has purchased food, armor, knives and guns and other materials on a large scale, and the cumulative transaction volume has exceeded the 100 million gold mark! General entrust Thanks to this, Bu also made a lot of money, about 20 million!"

Shang Ji shook his head slightly, this Lu Bu is really too straight-hearted, this kind of highly confidential data, he said it casually, no wonder it was eaten to death in history!

In fact, without Lu Bu saying anything, Shang Ji also knew about Lu Bu's approximate income.

More than 70% of the materials Kebi could purchase were provided by merchants, and the remaining small part was raised by Lu Bu in Wuyuan and other counties. In other words, Lu Bu only played the role of a second-hand dealer in this transaction.

According to the approximate transaction scale, it is completely possible to calculate the exact profit of Lu Bu, but Shang Ji is too lazy to look at it.

Among them, the bulk of the transaction profits were taken by Shang Ji. Lu Bu earned 20 million yuan, and Shang Ji's income was more than twice that of Lu Bu, about 50 million yuan. In other words, Kebi can pay more than three times the normal price for supplies!

in addition,

Shangji is still in touch with Budugen at the same time, and has also sold about 80 million supplies. Because there is no Lu Bu here as a second-hand dealer, although the transaction volume is a little lower, the profit is slightly higher than Ke Bineng's side!

Adding up the two parties, the total profit exceeded 100 million gold!

No wonder it is said that war money is the most lucrative. In just two or three months, the profits from trade have exceeded Pingzhou's taxes for half a year under normal circumstances!

"Hey, general, Bu has an unfeeling request, and I ask the general to agree!"

"Please speak up first!"

"General, Bu also wants to buy some weapons and armor from the general, and can you sell some Lingmi to Bu?"

"Hey, what am I supposed to do? Let's do this. I'll give Fengxian another two thousand catties of Lingmi. It's not that I'm stingy, but the output of Lingmi is really insufficient. This time I'll give Fengxian a 20% discount. As for weapons and armor, Fengxian First, you can send someone to discuss directly with Master Lu Guilu, the Pingzhou Equipment Officer, as long as I have what I have in Pingzhou, Fengxian can buy it, and if necessary, I can also directly customize it!"

"Thank you General!"

Lu Bu was overjoyed and thanked again and again.

In the past, Lu Bu was so poor that he was almost like pants, and he relied on the 50,000 Bingzhou wolf riders brought out from Ding Yuan to support the field. Although he intends to rectify the army, but he has no money in his hands!

Now that he has made a lot of money by being a second-hand dealer, his wallet is bulging, and he is naturally full of confidence.

Lu Bu planned to increase the number of wolf cavalry in Bingzhou to 100,000, reorganize the armies of Wuyuan, Yunzhong and other counties, and at the same time establish the exclusive special units of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and other confidant generals.

However, it was only when Lu Bu really started to do it that he realized that money is not everything!

The several counties under Lu Bu are also remote counties. Most of the cities in the counties are dilapidated, and the level of weapon manufacturing is so low that it makes people cry.

The equipment required by high-level special arms such as Bingzhou wolf cavalry is of course not ordinary. With the current production speed of Wuyuan County, the expansion plan of 100,000 wolf cavalry will have to wait until a year later, let alone the rectification and expansion of other troops.

In addition, with Shang Ji at the side as a foil, Lu Bu was a little bit contemptuous of sophisticated equipment. It is not required to be able to completely compare with the Pingzhou Army, but it is reasonable to say that the main force must be equipped with hundred-forged equipment!

You must know that the Pingzhou Army's war army has been half ironed, and several elite special forces are so extravagant that silver-level equipment has been popularized!

The higher the level, the slower the equipment manufacturing speed. According to Lu Bu's plan, all the army equipment will be replaced once. With the current equipment manufacturing speed of Lu Bu's forces, it is estimated that it will take three years!

How could Lu Bu endure this?

He is still thinking about the Shangji's plan to destroy Xianbei in the Huihun grassland! According to Shangji's schedule, let alone three years, the day lily will be cold after one year!

Under Chen Gong's suggestion, Lu Bu vigorously rectified the existing blacksmith workshop on the one hand, and purchased suitable equipment from outside on the other hand.

And the best purchase object is naturally a merchant.

In fact, the level of smelting in the counties of Pingzhou was not as good as that of Lu Bu. It's just that Shang Ji has attached great importance to the construction of blacksmith workshops since the Blackwater Fortress period, and he dare not relax for a moment after he took charge of Pingzhou.

The capital investment in this area has been 80 million if not 100 million. The huge capital investment has brought about a sharp increase in the level.

Today, the level of smelting in Pingzhou does not dare to be said to be leading in the country, but at least it is at the first-class level. Sophisticated equipment is also the guarantee for the Pingzhou Army to be invincible.

With full power, all the equipment needed by Lu Bu can be completed in about three months.

Lu Bu is very satisfied with this result, and can still afford to wait for three months.

However, thinking about the price of this batch of equipment, Lu Bu's face became bitter again. Although no specific price was mentioned, according to estimates, even if Shang Ji offered a friendly price, 10 million gold would not be able to get it!

The money earned by working hard as a second-hand trader is spent most of it in an instant!

Fortunately, Lu Bu can resell the eliminated equipment to Ke Bineng at a high price, and take the opportunity to make another fortune.

"With Wentai helping to preside over government affairs, today's army has barely achieved self-sufficiency. When the army is reorganized, I will learn from General Shang and practice with the increasingly dishonest Southern Huns. I should be able to squeeze out more from the Southern Huns. Pen.

Once the time is right, we will hunt Xianbei together with General Shang, as long as we kill Xianbei, we will have everything! Thinking about it secretly, Lu Bu felt that his plan was feasible.

At the thought of hunting Xianbei on the grassland, Lu Bu felt his blood boil.

"General, when are we going to send troops to the grassland? Bu can't wait!"

Lu Bu looked at Shang Ji and asked excitedly.

"No hurry, no hurry, although the battle between Kebi Neng and Budugen has shaken the foundation of Xianbei, but the main force is still there, and now is not the best time to do it. We can wait. What? Could it be that Fengxian didn't Are you willing to continue to make money from Xianbei?"

Shang Ji looked away and looked at Lu Bu with a smile.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry! It's better to wait, it's better to wait!" Lu Bu immediately realized when he heard this, why should I be in a hurry? Isn't that great now? You can earn so much money every month with simple actions, why not do it?

"Fengxian, you can help me pay attention to some special things when trading with Kebineng in the future. For example, I like the previous Danfang very much. If there are some novelties that I would like to buy at a high price, you can also directly buy them from me. Exchange equipment and supplies, etc. Fengxian might as well pay attention!"

Looking at the box in his hand, Shang Ji said thoughtfully.

Xianbei is another prairie overlord after the Huns, with a profound heritage and a long history of luck. There must be a lot of characteristic civilization items in his hand, and Shang Ji is very interested in these things.

Now that Xianbei is in chaos, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of it. If you are lucky, you may be able to find some diluted treasures. Even if it fails, it will lose some low-level equipment, which is completely worthless!

"Okay, okay, no problem at all, now I am Kebi's 'most trusted friend'!"

Lu Bu laughed, and said with some complacency.
