I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 339 Tea trade, Zhang Lu earns blood?
3 Forty chapters of tea trade, Zhang Lu earned blood?
After seeing Zhang Liao's probing, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing in surprise: "You guy, you grow potatoes in Anding North. I didn't expect you to be quite well informed."

Zhang Liao rubbed his head and smiled: "This is not the public platform, they sent someone over and borrowed a few captains to go..."

"Otherwise I don't know."

Lu Bu nodded.

Whether this is a big deal, after all, it is considered semi-public.

"more or less."

"In addition to the iron pots in the Qilian Mountains in the southwest, there are also coal mines in Zhangye Jiuquan."

Lu Bu explained to Zhang Liao in general, Zhang Liao was a little confused after talking for a long time.

"Your Majesty."

"Does that mean that in the future, there will be no shortage of all kinds of ironware and briquettes?" Speaking of briquettes, Zhang Liao was very excited.

The briquettes that Lu Bu poured out.

What an artifact!
Honeycomb briquettes are extremely convenient for cooking and heating in winter!

"Of course." Lu Bu nodded, looked at the kitchen that had already started work and said, "Let's talk while walking, let's have a cup of tea in the kitchen."

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "My mouth is a little dry."

For the next plan, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Jia Xu and Di Renjie have already planned it.

The first step is the indoctrination barracks at Xihai Lake, which is beyond reproach.

It can be said that the entire Xiliang and even the Xiqiang land are constantly transfusing blood into the enlightened barracks in Xihai Lake.

All kinds of livestock, yaks, sheep and deer from all over the land of Xiqiang, are continuously supplied to the Xihai Lake military camp.

In addition to the meat provided by Xiqiang, all kinds of vegetables were sent from Xiliang.

It can be said that the food in the Xihai Lake Barracks is the best in Xiqiang and even Xiliang!

There is no doubt about this.

"Indeed!"

Zhang Liao nodded approvingly.

Although Zhang Liao's mouth was still a bit harsh, in fact he took over the kitchen right away, knowing how much food the Xihai Lake barracks had.

All kinds of meat, such as chicken, duck, fish, yak, sheep, venison... all kinds of meat are extremely rich!

There are also mushrooms and vegetables excavated from various places, which are also guaranteed to be eaten at least two or three times a week.

Zhang Liao also knew the importance of Xihai Lake's civilized barracks.

After receiving Lv Bu's order, Zhang Liao specially brought over a batch of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.

It is used as a food reward for those with excellent results in the rose assessment.

Lu Bu talked a lot to Zhang Liao, and the two also walked to the fire barracks in Xihai Lake.

"Your Majesty!"

"General!" The soldiers in the fire barracks stopped what they were doing when they saw Lu Bu and Zhang Liao approaching, and went through the experience with them.

"Don't close my door." Lu Bu waved his hand, telling the soldier to continue working.

Zhang Liao skillfully went to the vessel containing the boiling water, and brought two cups of hot tea: "Your Majesty, the tea has just been boiled, and it's still hot."

"We used tea from Xiliang, or Sichuan and Shu." Lu Bu took the teacup and took a sip without waiting for Zhang Liao's answer.

"From Sichuan and Shu." Smelling the strong aroma of tea, Lu Bu knew without Zhang Liao's answer.

"It's often impossible to drink the tea from Sichuan and Shu." Zhang Liao nodded.

In Xiliang and the others to the south, they planted a lot of tea.But the quality and output are barely enough for Xiliang's own internal digestion.

The grade is not very high, and it can only be used as an ordinary big pot to make tea.

But really good tea must come from the Central Plains and Sichuan and Shu areas.

The Central Plains is now in war and wants to get tea from the Central Plains.The difficulty is very high, and it is said that the Lu Bu Group has not established diplomatic relations with the princes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Right now, only Liu Zhang from Sichuan and Shu has some contact with Zhang Lu.

To talk about the origin of tea, we have to look at the Sichuan and Sichuan regions.

"That Zhang Lu really set the price on the ground, but he dared to ask for an iron pot for a few dozen catties." Zhang Liao was a little angry when he mentioned the trade of iron pots for tea.

They paid hundreds of iron pots.

However, more than 6000 catties of tea were obtained.

They have to deliver in batches, and now the tea they get is only two thousand catties.

"Your Majesty, do you think Zhang Lu will cheat and not give us the leftover tea leaves from behind?" Zhang Liao was still a little worried.

After all, they actually paid more than 300 iron pots.

If Zhang Lu didn't plan to give the four thousand catties of tea.

That Liao might explode.

"Don't panic." Lu Bu took a sip of tea, and said with disdain on his face, "Even if Zhang Lu wants to trick us, he still has to ask Fang Tian if he is happy with the painting halberd in my hand."

Speaking of this.

Zhang Liao laughed loudly, and took a sip of tea: "Your Majesty is so right! If that Zhang Lu dares to trick us! Hmph! An army of one hundred thousand marches south!"

"His Zhang Lu can't bear it."

"If Zhang Lu thinks that we have lost a lot in the war with the Qiang people in the land of the Western Qiang, it is really wrong." Lu Bu smiled with his eyes narrowed while drinking tea.

Although it is impossible for Lu Bu to go south in a short time, let's see Lu Bu's plan in the past two years.

They are all used to develop Xiliang.

But if Zhang Lu really dared to act rashly, Lu Bu would not mind beating Zhang Lu to let him know why the flowers are so popular.

Zhang Liao nodded.

But he was still somewhat puzzled and displeased with Zhang Lu: "Your Majesty, right now our iron pot can be said to be worth a thousand gold!"

"Just say that in our Xihai Lake market, an iron pot can usually sell two to three hundred sheep, and hundreds of yaks are very normal!"

"We paid 2 iron pots." "In conversion, [-] sheep and more than [-] yaks are possible!"

"There are so many cattle and sheep, it would cost thousands of horses!" Zhang Liao thought more and more, feeling that the tea trade they opened with Zhang Lu had lost a lot.

It is not an exaggeration to say that iron pots are worth thousands of gold. In the land of Xiqiang, it is not a problem to exchange a few iron pots for a few war horses.

Western Qiang has no shortage of horses.

It can be exchanged for ordinary horses, high-quality superior horses, or even more.

But Zhang Lu's tea is expensive!

If you have less than [-] catties of tea, just change it to an iron pot!That would be equivalent to exchanging less than [-] catties of tea for several war horses!

This made Zhang Liao feel extremely heartbroken.

Seeing Zhang Liao scolding Zhang Lu, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing: "Wen Yuan, you are wrong. You think we are losing money, but in fact Zhang Lu can make a small profit, but we will never lose money."

Zhang Liao frowned and thought, but couldn't understand Lu Bu's words.

"Zhang Lu thought he made a lot of money."

"But in fact, he just advertised for us."

"Besides, are we really losing money? The prices for iron pots, yaks, sheep and horses are all set by us."

"The price of the real iron pot is still in our hands?" Lu Bu explained to Zhang Liao with a smile.

The current cost price of the iron pot alone can make Lu Bu a small profit.

How could it be possible to lose money?

Then Zhang Liao shouted suddenly, patted his thigh and shook his head, "Why didn't I expect..."
