Chapter 1237: The power of a city is so terrifying

There are no difficulties and obstacles in the face of absolute interests.

A notice from the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce was posted, and the entire Shuofang began to have an earthquake.

The already busy streets in the past became irrigated when the sky was just dawn.

As the owner of He's restaurant, He Sheng is also the leading landlord in Shuofang. He can be said to have money and people.

Since Xi Yunfei agreed to their request, there was no possibility of hesitation.

After returning home, they immediately called the elders of the family and managers of various industries to hold a meeting.

Of course, he is not the only one who moves...

He's Restaurant, Chengxi Branch.

"Shopkeeper He, the 30,000 kilograms of white flour you have requested have been delivered to Dacang in the west of the city. Please sign for it."

"It turns out that it is Mr. Hong. It's easy to talk about, Mr. Hong. Please, please discuss with you something else."

“…”

"What, I'll have 50,000 kilograms of white flour next month?"

"Yes, and the 50,000 is just the beginning, and we need to add it one after another."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, Manager He, I'll take the airship south now, I'll take this order."

The man had just left, and before He Sheng's butt was hot, someone walked in again.

"Shopkeeper He, you want too many chefs. I will never find so many people at this moment."

"Then how many can you find?"

“Maximum three hundred.”

"Thirty hundred, that's fine, but the introduction fee is not that much."

"this……"

"Don't explain, I'll find five hundred chefs to give you twenty gold coins, now only ten."

"Uh, so, Manager He will give me another day. I will go to Hedong immediately. Five hundred, I will definitely find five hundred chefs."

"Okay, hurry up, remember to bring the airship tickets and I'll reimburse you."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Shopkeeper He."

South of the city, away from the orphan house.

Dozens of people found Fangwei in a hurry.

"You are going to recruit female workers?"

···

In the east of the city, several of the most capable people in Shuofang gathered together.

"Everyone should know, it's an opportunity for us. Lao Jin and Lao Wei are responsible for purchasing leather."

"good."

"Xiao Yan, go back and tell your father that the wasteland of Mr. Zhou cannot be sold to the Wang family in Taiyuan. We are of great use."

"Um."

"Your families are also going to recruit people and purchase tools as well. This is the style and size of leather armor, so you must not make any mistakes."

“…”

···

Inner city, Dingjunfang.

Xie Yingdeng stood at the door of the warehouse with a gloomy face, watching boxes of guns and ammunition being brought out.

"Where is the husband, why doesn't he come?"

Ma Zhou stood beside him and was proofreading the account books with several managers. He smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Mr. Lang said that this matter is just a test. He is too lazy to participate in the country of Khotan."

"What a mere country of Khotan." Xie Yingdeng laughed furiously: "You are making trouble. My husband has said that this is just a small country. Why do you buy so many guns and ammunition? You are so furious if you burn too much money?"

Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and bowed: "Old Xie, it's useless to tell me. These guns and ammunition were bought by those merchants for money. I am just a small accountant."

"Are you still in charge?" Xie Yingdeng glared at Ma Zhou in anger: "These things are enough to capture things in Turks. You kid's heart is the same as Mingjinger. I think you are just accompanying them to make trouble."

Ma Zhou walked to Xie Yingdeng in disappointment and handed him the account book in his hand: "Look at Mr. Xie, are they messing around?"

Xie Yingdeng was stunned when he heard this and suspiciously took the account book.

Ma Zhou said: "Since Langjun promised them, these people have already taken action. The new army has two thousand people, each with a commission of one gold coin. Even the people from our court guard team will pay the same commission, complete the task in advance, and calculate the bonus separately."

"Look at the military supplies, He's restaurant is rushing to make military dry food. The new army has two thousand people and two thousand people in the court guard team. He forced to produce 200,000 kilograms of dry food..."

Xie Yingdeng's eyelids twitched and muttered, "Isn't this the money burned?"

Ma Zhou smiled and continued, "Mr. Xie, continue to look down. These merchants knew that the climate in the Western Regions was dry and the temperature difference between day and night was extremely large, so they developed a leather armor that was conducive to marching and combat. The front was warm fluff and the back was cold silk fabric. The soldiers could wear both the front and back. Moreover, each of them prepared two sets."

"Also, horses and camels are all supplied by Caojiabao. Look at these numbers, they are actually far more than the military supplies of the 4,000 troops..."

Xie Yingdeng looked at the account book in surprise, and for a long time, he didn't know what to say.

"Are these businessmen crazy?" Xie Yingdeng closed the account book and said in confusion: "If these things were placed three years ago, they could easily bring up an army of 50,000 people. When did these businessmen become so generous?"

Ma Zhou raised his lips slightly, shook his head and said, "This is not generous, this is a deal."

"trade?"

“Yes, a deal.”

···

Five days later.

To the north of Shuofang, outside the He family manor.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the various military supplies piled up in front of him in a daze, feeling like he was dreaming.

"Is this really done in five days?"

Qin Qiong and Li Ji were also dumbfounded and turned their heads to look at Xi Yunfei.

"Haha, why are you looking at me like this? If you don't believe me, go and ask Lao He and the others."

Xi Yunfei pointed behind him, and He Sheng and others stood there, handing over supplies to the Xinjun and the guard team.

"Each person has two sets of leather armor, two aluminum kettles, two pairs of leather boots, and several socks..."

"In addition to compressing biscuits, I also specially baked dried meat and dried vegetables. You can eat it by soaking it in water."

“These camels and horses are selected and I have had enough water and feed.”

"We are already preparing for subsequent material supplies at the same time. Don't worry, the two generals, we will definitely not let the soldiers go hungry."

The people from the court guard team were fine, but the captain of the Tang New Army was almost moved to death.

Such good conditions make their new army not like to be on a mission, but rather like to be traveling to the Gobi Desert.

At the most critical moment, after coming back, everyone can still receive gold coins. After completing the task successfully, everyone will have one gold coin. After the task is overcomplete, these merchants also prepared additional rewards.

"Why do I feel so dreamy?" Cheng Yaojin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There are only more than a dozen merchants, and so many supplies were produced in five days. If this was placed in Chang'an, it would be less than three or four months... Alas..."

Qin Qiong and Li Ji looked at each other and sighed quietly: "This is Shuofang. Perhaps until today, we have truly seen its truest side."

Li Ji nodded in agreement and couldn't help but say sadly: "The power of a city is so terrifying. If one day all the cities in my Tang Dynasty have such great power, then what else can stop us?"

"What steps?"
