"Oh? Is there really a wine that is better than the wine in my hand?" Zhang Shiping asked in disbelief.
"That's right, what I'm drinking right now is just the low-quality wine produced by the wine company. There are also Shanxi Laobaigan, Shandong Erguotou, and Kweichow Moutai. These three wines can really be called fine wines, but they are not something ordinary people can drink.
It's here." Someone interrupted.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he turned out to be Mr. Li Yong, who held three positions in the Prefecture. He panicked and hurriedly bowed down: "Common people, please see Mr. Li." Li Yong quickly helped the shopkeeper up, but his eyes were fixed on Su Shuang.
Zhang Shiping.
Hearing that the young man in front of him was actually a Zhuojun official, it seemed that this man was obviously here to find him, maybe for his war horse. After Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping knew what was going on, they bowed to Li Yong as a sign of respect.
.
"I heard that you two brought thousands of war horses through Zhuo County. My Lord Governor wants to buy these horses and do a business with you. I wonder what you two think?" Li Yong asked an enigmatic question.
smile.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were very excited at this time. If the prefect could sell Zhuojun's wine to them, the profit would be much greater than that of selling horses, and it would also be very safe. Several people had their own ideas, and when they arrived at the left
At Ao Ran's house.
Zuo Aoran had already received the news sent by Li Yong, ordered the wine and food, and was waiting in the living room very early. Seeing Li Yong coming in with the two people behind him, Zuo Aoran knew that these two people
The highlight of this event is that their cavalry group is in the hands of others. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping also looked at the prefect who was younger than Lord Li Yong. They felt that there were so many surprising things today, although they thought so in their hearts
, but dare not slow down in action at all.
The two people hurried forward and saluted: "Shang Sushuang (Zhang Shiping), please see the Grand Administrator."
Looking at the two horse merchants in front of me, they turned out to be the two merchants who funded Liu Bei's war horses during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I didn't expect... No, if I make a deal with these two people, what will Liu Bei do? Who will fund him?
Yeah? Zuo Aoran still had a good impression of Liu Bei. He spent his whole life fighting for the revival of the Han Dynasty, and spent half his life wandering. In the end, he failed to avenge his brother, and instead died of illness in Baidi City, leaving Adou who could not afford to support him.
After thinking about it, Li Yong introduced the two of them into the living room, and everyone took their seats. During the dinner, Zuo Aoran wanted to make friends with Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. In the end, everyone agreed on the price of the horse, and settled for one thousand.
Big money buys a war horse. This was the friend price given by the two of them. Of course Zuo Aoran knew that he was taking advantage.
Zuo Aoran also knew that this advantage was not in vain, and he would always pay something. As expected, Zuo Aoran guessed it right. After drinking for three times and enjoying the five flavors of food, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping proposed to Zuo Aoran.
Purchase three types of fine wines from Zuo Aoran in large quantities.
Zuo Aoran used the reason that Shandong Erguotou and Kweichow Moutai were extremely difficult to produce, so he only sold Shanxi Laobaigan (30 degrees) to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping did not need to pay any gold or silver, but only needed to return horses of the same price.
That’s it.
Although Zuo Aoran was cheating and did not want to sell two high-end wines to others to buy on his behalf, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were already extremely happy. If there had been a contract at that time, they would have loved to have had a contract with Zuo Aoran.
Ao Ran signed the contract and it was valid for ten thousand years. Among them, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping naturally had their little Jiujiu. Do they know how valuable the wine Zuo Ao Ran brewed was, especially after buying it at the current price and then selling it.
If you go to the Xianbei tribes, you can make double the price! Zuo Aoran doesn't care how much profit these two people can make from him. His only purpose now is to quickly establish his own cavalry group and train it early.
It took shape early and entered the stage of history early.
The next day, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping left with hundreds of carts. Zuo Aoran said goodbye to them in person. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were deeply moved to see the prefect's kindness and righteousness. After seeing them off, Zuo Aoran
He led everyone to rush to the school military commander.
After a day and night of hard work, the three thousand war horses have all been replaced with double-sided stirrups and the horseshoes have been nailed on. In order to accidentally leak the news, Zuo Aoran, in addition to the three hundred people of the Red Scarf Army, the three thousand war horses also had the hammer
The five hundred men of the battalion (which was expanded to 200 men after arriving in Zhuojun) were not allowed to approach or ride on them. Even the horseshoeing was done by the men and horses of these two battalions.
Zuo Aoran stood in front of three thousand war horses, with Luo Shixin, Zhu Ci, Liu Hu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Jiang Yiqu, Gao Tanglong and others lined up behind him. Everyone looked at these horses and felt very excited.
, just waiting for Zuo Aoran's order, he rushed forward to find his beloved mount.
Zuo Aoran took a deep breath, raised his right hand high, waved forward, and said: "Choose a horse!"
Everyone cheered, and rushed forward in a swarm, starting to choose a horse that suited them. Zhu Ci chose a red mount with a big belly and white spots. The name of this horse was: "Iron-footed Jujube Horse", also known as "Big-belly Curly Horse".
"Grasshopper Tiger", Liu Hu chose a mount with a strong body and an earthy yellow mane. The horse's name was: "Lead Top Hay Yellow", also known as "Yellow Fat Horse". Lu Kuang chose a mount named:
"Bao Yue Black Dragon Horse", Lu Xiang chose a mount named "Lightning Black Dragon Horse", Jiang Yiqu chose a mount named "Silver Snow Leopard", and Gao Tanglong chose a mount named: "Silver Snow Leopard".
"Grass yellow horse".
In addition to the 500 people from the Shenhamer Battalion, the 300 people from the Red Scarf Army, and the 500 Zhuo County soldiers commanded by Gao Tanglong, there are 1,800 people for Zuo Aoran to choose from, and Zuo Aoran selected 500 cavalry from them.
People with excellent skills and strong physiques who could ride and shoot on horseback were organized into a heroic cavalry camp, led by two brothers, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.
Zuo Aoran always felt that he didn't have enough people. Anyway, he had plenty of money and didn't have to worry about food and wages, so he just recruited 1,900 people and expanded his team to 5,000 people to form a team like that movie "Hero"
The same Shenjian camp as the Qin army.
As soon as the recruitment notice was posted, there was a huge crowd. More than 3,000 people gathered from all directions, all shouting that they wanted to be soldiers. This was only the result of three days. Zuo Aoran posted a full number of people.
On the fifteenth day, the people who applied for the job arrived at Old Nose. It was really a huge crowd of people. If a wooden stick dropped from the air, it would hit at least a dozen of them.
During this turbulent period, there were constant famines everywhere, either locusts or plagues. It could be said that people everywhere were in dire straits. They could not get enough to eat all day long, and some even starved to death. As soon as I heard that Zhuojun
Recruiting soldiers, everyone rushed to respond, all with the belief in their hearts that this time they would have a place to eat, they would no longer have to go hungry, they would still be officers and soldiers, they would have military pay, and they would be able to marry a wife.
Zuo Aoran can be said to be: "Han Xin orders troops, the more the better." Among the nearly 10,000 people, more than 2,000 craftsmen were selected, including blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, shipwrights, tailors, shopkeepers...etc., Zuo Aoran
Ran sent them all to Qipan Mountain and listened to the arrangements of Ma Jun, Ou Yepeng, Lu Ming and others.
Another 3,000 people were selected as official county soldiers. Zuo Aoran did not dismiss the remaining 4,000 people. Instead, after some training, they were assigned to Liangxiang, Fangcheng, Fanyang, and Qiuguo under the county.
An, Beixincheng and other six counties serve as volunteers (that is, militia).
