Chapter 143: The Solution to the Problem
"Are you satisfied with the new house?" Seeing Gao Yuan, Wu Kai smiled like a flower, and his face was full of complacency, as if he had done a great thing, with a look of asking for credit, that means, if If Gao Yuan didn't praise him harshly, he would feel sorry for him, and he especially emphasized the word "new house".
Gao Yuan smiled wryly and looked at Wu Kai, "Master Wu, you are so quiet that I was shocked. Standing at the door of the house, I almost passed the door and refused to enter. I dare not admit it. It's a completely different world." .”
Wu Kai laughed loudly, "Of course, I must have paid great attention to your brother's house."
"That's great, it's too big, Mr. Wu, this occupies the foundation of so many neighbors, I will be scolded." Gao Yuan sighed.
"Who dares to scold you?" Wu Kai's eyes widened, and he said disapprovingly: "When the foundations of these people were to be requisitioned, I sent people to ask one by one. I heard that they were building a house for you. Apart from anything else, I moved immediately, besides, I didn't treat them badly, in the new city, I changed them to new houses."
"How much does it cost?" Gao Yuan looked at Wu Kai, "How many knives and spears are needed, waste, waste."
"You can't think like that." Wu Kai shook his head like a rattle, "brother, don't you want to get married soon? How can you be sloppy about the new house? The previous house was too dilapidated, and it was too old for the Donghu people. After making a fuss, it's even more disreputable, but it doesn't break or stand, and I just took this opportunity to completely overthrow him and start over." At this point, Wu Kai lowered his voice, "Your mother-in-law has an extraordinary background, that's it, I'm afraid she will still see it." It doesn't look good, but in Fufeng City, that's the only way to go. Since you want to marry someone else's daughter, you have to show your filial piety so that they can enjoy themselves, right?"
Grateful for Wu Kai's sincere feelings, Gao Yuan cupped his fists and bowed to Wu Kai sincerely, "Thank you Mr. Wu for taking care of Gao, Gao Yuan doesn't know what to say, in a word, with me, Gao, for a day, I will never Fufeng City will be poisoned by Donghu people again."
Wu Kai laughed loudly, "What I want is your words, I will eat at my place in the evening, no excuses."
"Naturally, I want to disturb you. After I got home, I only had a chat with Jing'er's family for a while, and then I rushed to Mr. Wu's place. I originally wanted to come to you to play the autumn wind." Gao Yuan laughed. , "Even if you drive me away, I will stay here."
The two tacitly looked at each other and laughed.
Huo Zhu died, and Lu Hong was promoted to Liaoxi City. Now Fufeng is the world of two people. Gao Yuan is devoted to the army. Compared with before, Wu Kai felt the joy of being in power for the first time, but Gao Yuan also lost a lot of elbows and was able to do what he wanted to do. There are many things that he couldn't tell Lu Hongming, but dared to Communicate with Wu Kai.
The reconstruction of Wu Kai's winery has long been completed, and it has more than doubled in size compared to before. As Wu's wine was forcibly spread throughout the county under Zhang Shouyue's power, with sharp knives and Wu's The quality of the wine is high and the number of people raised is now increasing by leaps and bounds. It is not an exaggeration for Wu Kai to describe it as making money every day.
The two walked into the study room hand in hand, and sat down as guests and hosts. Wu Kai looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Fufeng City has regained its vitality in the past few months, especially with your successive victories, many new restaurants have opened in the city. Leather workshops and fur warehouses, merchants from all over the county gather, especially the new livestock trading market, which is the first in Liaoxi County, but Gao Yuan, if you stop, these businesses will be affected."
Listening to what Wu Kai meant,
Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Master Wu, although we've been victorious in the past two months, but to be honest, I'm a persimmon picker, and I've picked some that don't make sense." If I continue to do this, it is very likely that I will provoke a powerful tribe in Donghu, and then I will not be able to afford it. At that time, I will lose my wife and lose my army. Wouldn’t the gain outweigh the loss.”
Wu Kai was stunned for a moment. During this period of time, Gao Yuan's non-stop victories made him a little dizzy. At this time, he was awakened by Gao Yuan and understood, "You are very right, look at me. The spoils of war have gone to your head, so if your business is affected, it will be affected, and the most important thing is to maintain your strength and hold on to Fufeng."
"We still have to fight, but in the future, we have to be careful. Let the army rest for a while, and we will look for opportunities patiently. If we don't attack, we will succeed." It will not be greatly affected, but the profit will definitely decrease, and we will earn less, after all, it was a business without capital before, and to continue these businesses, we should pay some capital."
"You mean?" Wu Kai looked at Gao Yuan and asked suspiciously.
"Outside of Fufeng, there are not only Donghu people, but also Huns!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "I buy from them, process them, and then sell them."
"Or cooperate with the Helan Department?"
"Yes, the Helan tribe is the springboard for our cooperation with the Xiongnu. Although the Xiongnu are not comparable to the Donghu, they are still a tribe that occupies a large area and have unlimited potential. As long as we cooperate well, we are afraid that we will not be able to eat enough in Fufeng?" Gao Yuan said. "Look at our wine, how well it sells there. The quality is inferior, but the price is high. There is no better business than this."
"It's just that on the side of the Xiongnu, what they want the most is food. This is a problem. Now our brewing consumes a lot of food, and the Donghu people have been harassing two people in a row for more than a year, and Dingkou has suffered serious losses. The past few days The owner of the Tianyamen went down to take a look, and found that many fields had been abandoned, and there was no harvest." Wu Kai stroked his beard, a little worried, "Then, we can only go to other counties to buy grain. Alright, Gao Yuan, our wine has cut off many people's income, if you ask them to buy food, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot of trouble."
"It's okay to make things difficult, it's just temporary!" Gao Yuan sneered, "We can also use Zhang Taishou to put pressure on them, and they can at most raise the price a little higher, and they will never dare not sell it to us. This is just one of them. Second, Mr. Wu, we can also come up with a strategy to draw salary from the bottom of the pot."
"How do you say that?"
"Master Wu, in the past six months, we have almost wiped out the small Donghu tribes around Fufeng, but Fufeng County is not the only one that borders Donghu in Liaoxi County. Isn't it the same in Chima and Nanchong? Donghu people dare not Come to Fufeng, we will definitely go to their place for a while, Mr. Wu, do you understand?"
"You mean, let me go to their side to scout people?" Wu Kai rolled his eyes and said in amazement.
"That's right, you are not short of people, you send people over quietly, tell those who intend to come over, we will make up for them as much land as they originally had, and also give away houses and animals, so that they may not come over "Gao Yuan laughed, "As long as we have a good start, more and more people will come here in the future."
"This is a bit taboo!" Wu Kai hesitated.
"Whether you break the taboo or not depends on how you operate?" Gao Yuan laughed, "Sometimes, everyone understands some things, but they can't express them."
Wu Kai pondered for a moment, then slapped the table, "It doesn't matter so much, I've done it, I can't get along with money, even if someone wants to fight in the ring, don't we still have Zhang Taishou, we give Zhang Taishou money, some people are I will only take money from Zhang Taishou, and it is clear at a glance who is more useful."
"Of course!" Gao Yuan chuckled, "I'll write another letter to He Lanxiong, asking him to go to Shangdang County, Hejian County, to create a little panic."
"In this way, my Fufeng County may be able to settle these people by accepting a large number of refugees. When these people have houses and land, safety and security, they may not want to leave!" Wu Kai knowingly laughed.
One old and one young, they racked their brains to poach people from other places, but they were like-minded and worked together. Wu Kai thought about earning more money. Gao Yuan thought that with a larger population base, he could recruit more qualified soldiers. With soldiers and strength, he could fight farther outside and earn more money. More money, and then recruit more soldiers, forming a virtuous circle.
"By the way, Mr. Wu, how is the closing of our Xianyun Building?" Gao Yuan suddenly thought of Xianyun Building. This business has not given him any dividends. Feeling nervous again.
"The business of Xianyun Building is very good!" Wu Kai laughed triumphantly, "Now Xianyun Building is a symbol of status and wealth in Liaoxi City, and ordinary people can't enter it. In the past, Linghudan's Zuixian Building was banned We’re about to collapse, and I heard that anyone can go in to eat now. The last letter from the big shopkeeper said that Mr. Zhang is ready to open another one in Jicheng.”
"Go to Jicheng?" Gao Yuan mused, "Where we have no support, can we have fun? Without background and support, relying on us to spend money alone, I'm afraid the end will not be good. A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake!"
"We don't have a backer in Jicheng, but will the prefect Zhang have one? Since Mr. Zhang has said this, he must be sure. I am going to give Mr. Zhang the dominance of Xianyun Tower in Jicheng. We only need shares to make it." It is." Wu Kai said with a smile. "In Jicheng, we can't play around. I think Mr. Zhang also saw this, so he is eager to open a semicolon in Jicheng."
"Master Wu, you are really a genius in business. You can see through Mr. Zhang's plan at a glance." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhang is jealous of the income of Xianyun Tower. There are more rich people in Jicheng, so you can definitely make money." more money."
"However, Gao Yuan, Mr. Zhang fell in love with your former housekeeper Zhang Yi, and asked him to go to Jicheng as the chief shopkeeper by name!" Wu Kai said meaningfully.
"Zhang Yi? Are you younger?" Gao Yuan was taken aback.
"Young? In the eyes of many people, aren't you younger?" Wu Kai smiled and said, "This Zhang Yi, can you rest assured?"
"No problem!" Gao Yuan said decisively.
"That's good, as long as Zhang Yi is reliable, even if Mr. Zhang holds a large stake in Xianyun Tower in Jicheng, we won't suffer."
