"Lan'er, if you said that, it would really make me ashamed. It was obviously me who was wrong that day. I should have asked you first..." Sometimes Xiao Chen is smart, and sometimes he says stupid things.
"Then why didn't you ask me today?" Uluolan asked angrily.
"I asked." Xiao Chen picked up the luminous watch on the bed, "I asked you if you like this?"
"Disgusting." Uluolan snorted and snatched the luminous watch over, "Is this for telling the time?"
"Yes, this is called a clock. Look, there are twelve numbers on it, representing twelve hours. The red one is the hour, and the black one is the quarter hour... The hands and the dial are coated with phosphorus, so you can read it at night.
Got it." Xiao Chen grabbed her hand and explained to her.
"It's so beautiful, I like it." Uluolan liked it very much. In fact, she liked everything Xiao Chen gave her.
"I'll give you another ten yuan later. It's not that I'm stingy, but it's hard to make it. After more than a year, I can only make a few hundred yuan." Xiao Chen said, "You can give it to Qiu Muling, Arutai, Mo
Yu and the others are divided."
"Sigh... If I take it back, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it into their hands." Uluolan sighed.
"It must be given to them." Xiao Chen said.
"Why?" Uluolan was puzzled.
"For example, if you go out to fight, the two armies are several miles apart, and they agree to attack the enemy at a certain moment..." Xiao Chen gave this reminder, and Uluolan immediately understood.
It turns out that this luminous watch also has military uses and is very practical.
Usually, this kind of surprise attack usually uses fireworks or horns as attack signals, which will inevitably alert the enemy. Now, as long as the time is correct before departure, you can attack directly when the time comes, and the effect of the surprise attack will naturally be greater.
good.
"Lan'er, who do you think is the suitable leader of our alliance?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course you will do it!" Wu Luolan asked in his heart, are you kidding me again? This kind of thing is no joke.
You summoned all the tribes in Northern Xinjiang, and the meeting place is also in your Yanyun County. Since everyone is willing to come, they will naturally regard you as the leader of the alliance.
Let’s talk about strength, prestige, integrity, morality... No matter how we talk about it, you are number one.
I thought that everyone regarded you as the leader of the alliance, so I opened my mouth to you, the lion. You are the boss, and you must take care of your younger brother.
"It's not appropriate for me to do it." Xiao Chen looked solemn and didn't look like he was joking, "It will make the Emperor of Zhou unhappy, but if he wants to send someone to do it, I won't be happy either, so I can only ask from you.
Choose one in the middle.”
"Oh... it's really like this." Wu Luolan also instantly understood Xiao Chen's concerns. After all, he is only the governor of Yanyun County now, but he is not King Yanyun yet, but sooner or later he will be!
But if he doesn't become the leader, who can? Huh? Do you want me to do it?
"Don't do it either. This alliance leader is actually a thankless job, but you can't let a waste do it. I think Wanyan Pingqiu is the most suitable, what do you think?" Xiao Chen said.
Wanyan Pingqiu? Are you sure?
"I'm not sure, that's why I want to discuss it with you. The tribes in Northern Xinjiang are actually only a few people who have the strength to be the leader of the alliance. In terms of ability, of course you are the most suitable. Helan's Huyan Lei people are good, but he has
Brave but without any plan, Wuhuan's Gaihe is quite shrewd, but he has no plans..."
Xiao Chen counted them one by one, as if these tribal leaders and princes were all in the palm of his hand.
"Among the short ones, only Wanyan Pingqiu, the tall one, can barely do it." Xiao Chen counted over and over again and finally came up with this one.
"If you think it's okay, then fine." Wu Luolan also felt that there was really no more suitable candidate besides Wanyan Pingqiu.
"Lan'er, I want to thank you." Xiao Chen gently hugged her into his arms.
"What? I didn't just listen to you, I just think Wanyan is really suitable." Wu Luolan said softly.
"I want to thank you for keeping the secret for me." Xiao Chen whispered in her ear with infinite tenderness.
"Hmm." Wu Luolan said to himself that the masculinity in you is so strong that it is absolutely impossible to be a eunuch. Of course I won't say it, but I don't believe that others don't know!
It is said that the male characteristics are too obvious.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Xiao Chen hugged her soft and delicate body, smelled her charming fragrance, and looked at her beautiful face. Suddenly he couldn't help himself and started to move his hands and feet, but unexpectedly, Wu Luolan pinched her neck.
He took a big bite and quickly let go after feeling the pain.
"Tell me, why is the sugar you sell us so expensive!" Uluolan suddenly remembered that the purpose of coming to him was to ask him about his sin, not to kiss him on the mouth.
"The cost is too high. Think about it, sugar is extracted from sugar cane. We don't have sugar cane in the north, so we can only transport it from the south. How much does the shipping cost alone? In addition to various tedious processes,
The workers' hours...are not expensive anymore." Xiao Chen explained, covering his neck.
"I believe you!" Uluolan said angrily, "I just saw it with my own eyes in your shop. The price you sell here is ten times lower than ours!"
How dare you deny the evidence?
"Lan'er, you only know one but not the other. You are right. It is indeed very low, even much lower than the cost price. But these are specially provided to the people of Yanyun County. They need to be purchased in quantity. Every day
Individuals can only buy half a catty at this price every month, and anything more than that is expensive." Xiao Chen was really able to explain clearly.
"Your current population in Yanyun County has already exceeded one million, so you spend more than one million kilograms of sugar selling it at a loss every month?" Uluolan still didn't quite believe it.
"First, this is not actually a sale, but a benefit to the people of Yanyun; second, in fact, there are not so many people buying it. You think it is very cheap, but many, many poor people still cannot afford it, or are reluctant to buy it at all.
." Xiao Chen sighed.
Wu Luolan was speechless for a long time, thinking that even if Yanyun County is so rich, our Xianbo tribe is even worse. Not to mention sugar, they can't even eat enough...
However, as the amount of bilateral trade with Yanyun County has grown larger and larger, the Xianbo tribe has also received a lot of benefits.
At least now she has money in her hands. Although it is far from ensuring that all the tribesmen are full, it can ensure that they will not starve to death.
"Xiao Chen, I want to ask you something, but if you don't agree, I won't blame you." Wu Luolan said.
"Then I will agree first." Xiao Chen did not hesitate.
"I want you to help us build several fur factories in Xianbo, so that we don't have to send furs and wool all the way, and then buy fur clothes and felts back. Of course, the price remains the same, but don't let
My people have been tossing back and forth, okay?" Uluolan's request was actually a ruthless one.
"Okay, I'll arrange it later!" Xiao Chen agreed, "Not only is it a fur factory, I can also help you build some clothing factories, tent factories, dairy factories, lumber factories..."
