Chapter 62 Who told you that making glass can make you rich

When Li Su heard the way of recruiting soldiers proposed by Lu Su, the crimes of slave traders in middle school history textbooks emerged in his mind:

"They thought it was too expensive to buy free people directly, so they instigated local African tribe chiefs to fight and bought prisoners of war cheaply from the defeated chiefs. If they bought the civilians directly, they could only exchange for five horses; but if they bought the backlog of prisoners of war, they could exchange for twenty-five."

It's just a similar thing.

But this strategy is a bit in line with Lu Su's age. Even a slut like Li Su feels a little chilling in his spine.

He coughed lightly and asked as if nothing had happened: "My brother is a good idea. Are you thinking about these yourself?"

Lu Su smiled relaxedly: "It is better to go out for a walk than to study hard. I came from a wild family and had no chance to visit famous teachers, but this is also beneficial. I can have more knowledge than other people who are bound by famous teachers and wander freely around the world.

Brother Boya, don’t bully me at my youth, at least I have traveled all the counties of Xuzhou. In Xiapi and Guangling, there are many friends who have made friends with me. Several of them are several years older than me and quite talented. They either live in Chaohu, or in Jinghu, Shanyangchi, and there are Danyang soldiers and commanders in the local area. I only found out the situation when I traveled with them.”

Li Su was relieved: It turned out that Lu Su was not as sinister as his IQ at the age of 16, and he wanted to make a trick to instigate war and bribe prisoners of war. Instead, the local Danyang Haoshang had been doing this for many years. Lu Su had been dealing with the three religions and the world's most powerful wisdom learned by his knowledge.

"Human nature pursues profits because of nature. I didn't expect that those chiefs of Shanyue, who do not know the meaning of writing, can summarize the way of doing business and peddling, and maximize their own profits."

After understanding this, Li Su couldn't help but sigh.

Learning and conspiracy does not necessarily depend on the learning of saints.

The instinctive pursuit of money is the biggest driving force for humans to constantly think about progress. Even barbarians will use their brains to make more money.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Su immediately stated: "Since that's the case, we will go to Mi Zizhong's place to raise some money tomorrow. In the past few days, Brother Lao will help me find out more about the news about Danyang Haoshang and the recent grievances between them.

If the recruitment will be smoother, I will definitely convince the Duwei Wuqiu to express my contributions, so that after I can go north to Youzhou, I will be appointed to an official position immediately."

"Dare not obeying."

The group then drank and talked in the manor of Lu Su. Lu Su ordered the farmers to kill a few chickens, ducks and rabbits and drink with the three of them.

Because the sheep in the south had a few more pigs, they slaughtered another bite of pigs and shared the food for the twenty personal soldiers who accompanied them.

After a long talk all night, Li Su's understanding of Lu Su's talents became deeper.

Lu Su does have the potential of the elders' spirit in the future, but his elders' spirit is not as loyal as described in the Romance, but a kind of "I know how to calculate, but I also know under what circumstances I openly publicize and maximize the transaction efficiency of both parties."

In other words, Lu Su has the ability to be yin. It’s not that his IQ cannot do it, but that he doesn’t want to.

After the deep conversation, the deepest impression Li Su saw on the other party was simplified into four words: pragmatism.

He was born into a rich man and had no burden of hope. Lu Su's pragmatism was comparable to Guan Yu.

No wonder such an elder-like person was the first to say to Sun Quan casually that "The Han Dynasty cannot be revived" to Sun Quan. If you are a little more formalistic and reserved, who dares to say such a shocking truth?

Fortunately, Li Su is also a very pragmatic person. He cheated on the outside world that he learned from Han Dynasty. Compared with the Han people, he did not know how practical it should be. He is a typical example of "not working on real trouble for the sake of a false reputation."

So Lu Su felt quite surprised as he chatted. He met a confidant and insisted on pulling him to sleep and chat all night that night.

...

Staying in Lujiazhuang for a night, the next day, Li Su and his group rushed to Qu County to recruit Mi Zhu.

Because the security was very good on the way to Mi Zhu's family and he had to pass by Quyang on the way back, Li Su did not bring all his personal soldiers.

He only brought half of the people, and could raise horsepower by one person and two horses. The remaining ten personal soldiers happened to assist Lu Su. If Lu Su needed bodyguards when inquiring about Danyang Haoshuai's grievances these days, he would ask these people to help do odd jobs.

Quyang is adjacent to Qu County, only 60 or 70 miles away, and one person and two horses arrived in just one morning.

However, the request for the visit was not smooth after arrival - as the same thing, when people in the Han Dynasty made an appointment three days in advance to call it "please/worship", and it was very impolite to come temporarily.

As the richest man in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu has to see him too many people, so he always has three-day appointments. You can only go to the line unless a well-known official from the state visits.

Li Su and his party reported their identity. After the purpose of the visit, the manager of the Mi family saw that they were officials, and even though they were from remote states, they did not dare to be rude.

Regardless of whether they meet or not, they will arrange their guest room and maids first, and enjoy delicious food and drinks to stay there.

After settling down, the manager said sincerely: "It's not that I don't see you all the distinguished guests, but today the head of the family is not in the county. I went to the county two days ago to meet with some official friends and make an appointment to return to Japan.

All the guests who want to meet the head of the family will be queued up the day after tomorrow, and they really can't get in. If there is really an urgent matter and the second master can handle it, I will arrange for you to meet the second master tomorrow."

When Li Su heard the manager of the Mi family mention "Second Master", he was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was Mi Fang. Li Su thought about it over and over again and decided that he would rather wait one more day.

Although Mi Fang has no bad record yet, I always feel that Guan Yu and Mi Fang will be incompatible and not deal with each other, so I should stop seeing each other for now.

"Then we'd better wait."

The deadline for meeting in Guangling that I had agreed with Wu Qiuyi is on May 5th, and today is only April 22nd, so I can still wait. I rushed on the road before, just to leave more margin when meeting rich people.

It wasn't intentional that they disappeared. They were really gone and there was nothing they could do.

Seeing that these two officials were quite polite, the manager of the Mi family was even more and more afraid to neglect them. They used the best furnishings and utensils in the mansion to entertain guests for their daily lives.

Li Suanran stayed at Mi's house for one night, but did not touch the maid sent by the Mi family to serve the distinguished guests.

But I woke up early the next morning and accepted the service of a maid, washed his hair, tied his hair again and wore a crown.

There is no way. It has been a few months since this era. Li Subian can take care of himself in his life, but he thinks it is really troublesome to get his hair.

My body and hair are my parents, and I can’t shave my head in this era. In fact, Li Su has secretly cut her hair short by at least half of her hair while no one notices, but she still looks like her hair is wrapped around her outside. A big man has never had long hair in his previous life, so it’s so uncomfortable.

When a wealthy family is in the autumn wind, of course they have to wash their hair every day and stop itching.

However, just after he washed his hair early in the morning, the maid tied his hair and wore a crown. When asked if he was satisfied, Li Su was stunned.

Because he saw that the maid was holding a fairly clear silver mirror.

"Damn it! The first common sense of time travel novels is that there was no glass in ancient times, only blurred metal mirrors? Why does this mirror seem to be just right?"

Because Li Su knew that he would definitely not be able to make up the industrial ability of burning glass in this life, he left the mirror behind at the beginning of his time travel.
