Xie Yu put on a cautious expression on his face, and then looked around.
The meaning is obvious, that is, he wants Cao Jianping to retreat.
Cao Jian nodded to his confidants.
After everyone exited, Xie Yu also leaned in front of Cao Jian and whispered: "Master Cao, I have a friend who has something good in his hands! He has always wanted me to help him contact some buyers."
"Oh? What good stuff?"
"Two stone bows and bamboo arrows!"
"hiss……"
Cao Jian suddenly gasped, with a shocked expression on his face.
He instantly understood what Xie Yu meant.
This is to sell armaments!
As for where this armament came from... is there any need to think about it?
This friend who is a descendant of the Yu family is most likely a descendant of some powerful family in Beijing!
Although Cao Jian is not involved in the Gyeonggi circle, he is familiar with the ridiculous activities in the Gyeonggi circle!
I heard that the powerful and powerful disciples were lawless. Not to mention the standard bow and arrow armor, they could even get a few of the Shenji Camp's fire guns for themselves!
After Cao Jian was shocked, his eyes showed excitement again!
Arms are very profitable! The price of a bamboo arrow is about seventy taels of silver, and a two-stone bow is equivalent to a hundred bamboo arrows, which is seven taels of silver!
If the quantity is large, you can make a lot of money in one transaction!
Thinking of this, Cao Jian stared at Xie Yu and asked in a somewhat urgent tone: "How many are there?"
"Bows... there are about two thousand, and there are almost one hundred thousand arrows!"
Cao Jian silently calculated the profit in his mind, and then a flush of excitement appeared on his face.
He grabbed Xie Yu's wrist: "If brother Yu is having trouble with sales, I can help you share the burden!"
For money, he has affectionately called Xie Yu "brother".
Perhaps because he was afraid that Xie Yu would get tired of his refusal to help just now, Cao Jian quickly said: "As for the employment of the quarry, it's all on me. I'll help with the coordination! Up to seven... No! Up to three days , I promise to let you take people there!"
Xie Yu laughed: "Haha, thank you so much, Mr. Cao. But... you also know that there are many taboos about bows and arrows! Every time you use them, there is another risk, so what my friend meant..."
“I would rather not make money than make myself smelly!”
"I understand! I understand!" Cao Jian nodded repeatedly, "I have a relative who specializes in a side business. Leave this matter to him and it will be absolutely foolproof!"
Xie Yu nodded: "That's good. Since Mr. Cao also has people who need to be taken care of, let's split this matter 50-50, how about it?"
"Hahaha, Brother Yu, you are a cheerful person! No problem!"
…
After chatting for a while, Xie Yu left.
After Xie Yu left, Cao Jian hesitated for a while, and finally called his confidants to whisper for a while.
The confidant nodded and left.
Half a day later, a man sneaked in from the back door of Cao's mansion.
This person is none other than Huo Feng, the head of Yunying Village.
After seeing Cao Jian who was practicing calligraphy and meditating in the study, Huo Feng asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, why did you call me so urgently?"
Cao Jian put down his pen, wiped his hands and said: "In a few days, there will be a batch of things that I need you to get rid of! During this time, go to the surrounding villages and ask if anyone wants those two stone bows and bamboo arrows. of!"
"Oh? This is military equipment! Brother-in-law, you... you are not afraid..."
Huo Feng's eyes widened, and he also understood the seriousness of this matter.
Cao Jian just glanced at Huo Feng, and Huo Feng didn't dare to continue talking.
"Do you think I'm stupider than you? Since I dare to do this, I have naturally taken the risks into consideration! I didn't do this, this is..."
Cao Jian originally wanted to tell Huo Feng Xie Yu's identity, but after thinking about what Xie Yu reminded him, Cao Jian changed his mind temporarily.
"This was done by a few powerful men in the capital! Their identity and energy are not something you and I can guess at will. In short, you can handle this matter nicely for me!"
Huo Feng was already familiar with selling stolen goods.
So when Cao Jian said that there was no risk in this matter, he agreed wholeheartedly.
"Also, be stricter this time! You must not tell the origin of these bows and arrows! If someone really asks, I don't care how you make it up, it can't be tied to me anyway!"
"You just need to sell the thing. I have already made an agreement with that person. After the transaction is completed, the profit will be split 50-50!"
Huo Feng asked casually: "Who is five?"
Cao Jian was stunned by this question for three minutes.
Finally, he pointed at the door and whispered: "Get out!"
…
Three days later, Xie Yu took Cao Jian's handwritten letter and went to the palace supervisor to pick him up.
Cao Jian had already said hello in advance, so after seeing the handwriting, someone was already busy.
After a lot of trouble, Xie Yu and a dozen guards from the palace prison set off in a mighty manner, escorting five hundred labor prisoners.
After traveling for a day and a half, these people arrived at Zheng Laohu's quarry.
Seeing that Xie Yu really brought people to him, and brought so many people at once, Zheng Laohu laughed so hard that his mouth almost burst into laughter.
After asking his men to take over the five hundred labor prisoners, Zheng Laohu arranged a banquet to entertain the servants.
After having enough food and wine, these servants each took five taels of "coney" and left happily.
Xie Yu was left behind by Zheng Huo.
“Mr.
Xie Yu nodded, and then explained to Zheng Laohu: "The people have been delivered to you. Pay attention and don't run away. These people don't need you to pay them, but you have to give them enough food! Three months later, here When someone's sentence is up, the police will naturally come to pick him up. But they will also bring new people in time to fill the gap for you. Do you understand? "
"understand!"
Zheng Laohu was extremely excited.
This is pure free labor. And it’s the kind that’s officially authorized and doesn’t pay wages!
There is really no psychological burden at all when using it.
"Also, this matter must be kept secret! Especially keep your mouth shut and don't pour some cat urine into your mouth, otherwise you won't know what the world is! If you reveal the origins of these people and my identity to outsiders... the consequences will be , you can’t afford it! Do you understand?”
Zheng Laohu immediately put on an obedient look: "I understand, I understand!"
…
It had only been two days since Xie Yu returned to Baishizhai, and the convoys delivering coal continued to go up the mountain.
In the past two days, Xie Yu also communicated with two craftsmen, Sun Yiming and Liu Dashan, for a long time.
He talked to Liu Dashan about filling molds and quickly making arrowheads.
Liu Dashan understood, and said that the materials for making molds were easy to find.
Just ask Chen Zhong to buy some special lake sand.
The key is that the temperature of the molten iron cannot be reached.
Xie Yu gave Sun Yiming some drawings and asked him to build several horse exhaust windmills! Finally, he told Liu Dashan that when the coal arrived, the problem of fire temperature would be solved.
Although Liu Dashan was a little hesitant, he still listened to Xie Yu and began to arrange manpower to make a furnace according to the drawings given by Xie Yu.
Baishizhai seems to be about to enter the Industrial 1.0 era!
