I saw a look of deep concern on Xiong Wuliang's face...
He seemed to be worried about Song Zhe's debt.
"General Song, why do you hesitate to speak? Is it because you don't have enough money?" Xiong Wuliang asked with concern.
Song Zhe's eyes darkened.
Three thousand gold is by no means a small amount!
Like Zhongli Jun Mi Fei, a great feudal lord who had been sitting on a fief for generations and amassing wealth - Xiong Wuliang almost killed him when he paid him 10,000 gold in one go.
Zilan, a useless loser, was greedy for money and lustful all day long, trying her best to get money. When she finally lost 20,000 gold to Xiong Wuliang, she was also exhausted.
A small border guard like Song Zhe... Even if he is very business-savvy, how much savings can he save?
Three thousand gold...will kill me! No matter what, I can’t take it out!
Song Zhe looked at Xiong Wuliang with a grimace.
Xiong Wuliang suddenly changed the topic and said seriously——
"It doesn't matter if you have debts. Only when you are stressed can you be motivated...Young people should work harder!"
Zhao Hua, who was still holding the account book in his hand, suddenly raised his ears: Huh?
Zhuo, why do these words sound familiar?
Song Zhe, who had a bitter look on his face, couldn't help but feel black lines on his face when he saw Xiong Wuliang, who was at least twenty years younger than him, teaching him the so-called theory of 'young people should work harder'.
Xiong Wuliang patted Song Zhe on the shoulder: "How about you follow me from now on!"
"What's the point of being a small border guard?"
"Come to my fiefdom, I have a big deal here!"
…
Although this Song Zhe is very poor as a general and very spineless...
But as a businessman with no bottom line, he is definitely qualified!
In other words - he is the most profiteer-minded talent Xiong Wuliang has seen since he came to this era!
In the fiefdom, there is Vice President Qu Yuan who is responsible for construction, workshop director Shi Er for production, secretary Zhao Hua for planning, and two security captains Zhong Hua and Shaohu who are secretly competing... Now the group is missing only one sales profiteer... Ah no, they are professionals!
Song Zhe:? ? ?
This change happened so fast that I couldn't turn around.
Xiong Wuliang is still tempting——
"General Song, if you stay in the Song Kingdom, you can only be a small general - tell me, can you realize the value of your life by staying in this small Fulisai every day?"
"The work here is indeed leisurely and comfortable, but don't you feel that your life has been wasted?"
"Young people, you should focus on improving yourself! Get out of your comfort zone!"
"How can we make progress without struggle? How can we create a better future?"
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand, and there was no doubt about it: "General Song, I am very optimistic about you! If you are willing to come to my fief, I can take over the important task of selling bulk goods including white paper. Delivered to you!”
"Don't betray my trust!"
Song Zhe's eyes widened.
Although he is also quite smart, has he ever seen such a battle before?
Xiong Wuliang's proficiency in CPU and pie painting... had already made Song Zhe dizzy.
Besides, everything Xiong Wuliang promised was indeed what Song Zhe wanted all along!
Song Zhe barely hesitated and bowed his head: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Qu Yangjun is the one who knows me!"
"Can you count on what you just said?"
Xiong Wuliang laughed loudly: "Of course!"
"In addition to white paper, in my fiefdom, there are also ceramics, glass, lacquerware, cloth, brocade...a large number of goods! All of them are valuable!"
"As long as you come here, you will be in charge of the shop!"
Song Zhe did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement: "Since the Lord can trust me, I will definitely drive with all my strength!"
As he talked, Song Zhe actually became moved——
"Song Zhe has been wandering for half his life, and he only regrets that he has never met his master..."
"If you don't give up now..."
Xiong Wuliang raised his hand and interrupted Song Zhe's affectionate confession——
"Don't talk nonsense - you must take responsibility as soon as possible! Don't forget, you still have a debt of three thousand gold."
Song Zhe:?
After a long time of fussing, the money was not waived for me?
Before a person joins the job, he owes the company a hundred years of wages, right?
You have to go to work in debt, right?
Xiong Wuliang, I really belong to you!
…
"Board in order, don't crowd!" Tian Zhen ordered loudly.
After receiving an order from Tian Zhen, Qi's Laizhou Navy came all the way to prepare to carry 120,000 Qi troops to sea.
Qi King Tian Pijiang also chose to acquiesce to Tian Zhen's ingenious tactics.
The warships of the Laizhou Navy docked one after another. From the leading ship, a dark-skinned man in fine leather armor jumped out and raised his hands to Tian Zhen in greeting——
"Laizhou Navy Commander Ling Bao pays homage to the General!"
Tian Zhen waved his hand majestically, indicating that he would not be polite.
Looking at the warships of the Laizhou Navy again, Tian Zhen frowned: "Can these more than a hundred ships be able to carry my 120,000 Qi warriors?"
Ling Bao was full of confidence: "General, just relax!"
"If the journey is long, it will naturally not be able to carry so many people."
"But from here to that [Huai River], it only takes two hours on the sea! The soldiers of the three armies just squeeze in, be patient, close your eyes and open them and you'll be there!"
"It just so happens that the wind and waves have been light in recent days. If you sail along the shallow shore, you should be fine!" Ling Bao said.
In today's Warring States period, ship technology is still far from advanced.
Although countries with a lot of water bodies like Qi and Chu have well-established navies, these navies can basically only sail on inland rivers and do not dare to go to sea rashly.
Fortunately, after Ling Bao carefully explored the hydrology, he determined that there had been no waves on the sea in recent days. It takes only two hours to sail in shallow water, so it must not be a big problem.
Tian Zhen was very excited: "Okay! God help me!"
"The commander used this ingenious plan to defeat Chu today. I will remember your Laizhou Navy for your great contribution!"
Ling Bao smiled respectfully: "General, you are serious - as the general of the Qi Dynasty, the last general should serve the king wholeheartedly."
Tian Zhen stopped talking nonsense and raised his hand: "Commanders of the three armies, listen to the order - each team of thousands of people, board the ship in turn!"
It was the first time for most of the officers and soldiers of the Qi army to board a naval warship. It was very novel, but they maintained good discipline and there was no noise or crowding.
In fact, the army of Qi State is not good at discipline - although Qi State is rich, all things considered, its equipment is considered to be the best in the world. However, the soldiers of the Qi army generally had low individual quality, low desire to fight, and poor military discipline.
This is not surprising - Qi State is very business-oriented and has the benefit of sea salt. It is really rich.
The people of Qi don't care about the bounty for killing the enemy... Who is willing to risk their lives in a war if they can live well?
Do you think we are a bunch of poor people from the Qin State who can't live without having our heads chopped off and making meritorious deeds?
People of Qin: Are you polite?
To sum up, it means that the Qi army relied on the equipment advantage of Jiajian swords, and its combat power was barely different from that of the tiger and wolf Qin army...
As for the lack of military discipline - this can be seen from the Qi army's wanton burning, killing and looting after Jiang Yu invaded the Chu territory.
Having said that, this is also Qi Jun’s old problem——
