Chapter 364 Li Shuai

When old friends meet, they naturally have to have a good drink.

Although Liu Jun was named a county magistrate, it was actually just a left-behind military camp. He always took out the same trick in the army, and threw a lot of things to his subordinates to take care of, and then he was actually very leisurely. In his words, if it weren't for his lame leg, he wouldn't have stayed on this broken island.

"You don't know, there is not even a place to drink here. I miss your soju."

A captain under Liu Jun was very rude to expose his boss, "Sir, you have been healing alcohol recently, which is a big excess."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Jun kicked his subordinates with shameless face, "You bastard, although we are brothers together in Chang'an City, here I am your boss."

"Who doesn't know who?" The Captain Zhao said unceremoniously.

Everyone is a son of Xunqi, aristocrats of Guanlong, and with similar backgrounds and resumes, your Liu Jun’s father is a Duke, and my grandfather Zhao is also a Duke. You Liu Jun used to be a job in the inner palace, and I, Zhao, were also a personal guard. You are now a seventh-rank military post, and I am just a down from the seventh-rank military post. Besides, everyone is used to being familiar with it, and this is also considered a rear, so I didn’t really take those military rules seriously.

"You can't drink too much medical alcohol. That thing has no taste. Drinking too much will hurt your body, especially if you are still a soldier now." Li Xiao reminded.

Old Liu said indifferently, "My legs are like this. I still care if he drinks too much or not, does it hurt his body? Besides, how much do you think you can drink in this camp? Even if I am the left-behind captain on this island, I can't drink much."

The medicinal wine from Danluo Island was brought with the army last time, and now it is in short supply. Most of it has been transported to the front line, and only a small part is left here.

"You really mastered a new navigation technology. Now you can ride the wind and go back against the wind?" Liu Jun asked. If you really have this ability, you will not be afraid of many medicines and food supplies needed in this camp.

After all, it is easy to get a normal boat. It is easy to take the season's wind, but it is troublesome to go back to sail. There is no wind now. You either wait for the wind to come or wait for a few months, or you can only go back around the coast, which will take at least one or two months.

There are only so many ships, there is no way.

"Only the wind on the head is not feasible, and the wind on the seven sides of the rest can be used." Li Xiao explained with a smile. Although he cannot sail against the wind, he can sail against the wind on the seven sides of the rest and does not have to go against the wind.

"That's good, damn, I'm saving my drink every day, now I can finally drink it with confidence. Lao Zhao, go to the medical camp and get some medicinal wine. Let's have a good time to drink it tonight. Anyway, with our Li Jingluo coming, I won't have to worry about myrrhing wine in the future."

Li Xiao waved his hand.

"What kind of medicinal wine should I drink? That thing is used to heal the wounds and diseases, and it tastes boring. I came this time, but I brought a lot of boats. There were more than a hundred boats in the entire fleet. Although it was big and small, I brought a lot of supplies. Do you want to drink? I have transported a few ships of various wines in the Central Plains. What kind of thing do you want to drink?"

Li Xiao sold more than 8,000 slaves in Chishanpu. After sharing the money with everyone, he sailed east. The last time he went out to sea, there were more than 100 ships, and everyone wanted to run this new route and make a fortune.

After all, a new route that only takes three days to travel back and forth means unlimited business opportunities.

When Liu Jun heard that there was wine, his eyes lit up.

Men who like to drink are idle and have nothing to do behind this, so naturally they want to drink even more.

"Old Zhao, then go and move the wine quickly." Old Liu said excitedly.

Zhao Chiman arranged the mercenaries to come and greet Liu Jun, "That wine is not a court's material, it is a private commodity. Those ships are also merchant ships, and you have to buy wine."

He reminded Liu Jun.

"It's awesome to do business and do this military camp."

"This is all Saburo's meaning."

Li Xiao explained, "In fact, it is not just wine, but also food, cloth, medicine and other materials needed by the navy."

"Sold it to us? But we don't have money either." Liu Jun spread his hands.

"Who said you have no money? You are very rich. You came across the sea and broke through more than 30 cities in Baekje. Now you have occupied a large area of ​​land on the southern coast and conquered a large area of ​​land. How can you still lack money?"

Li Xiao reminded Liu Jun that merchants cannot get up early without profit. Although everyone brought the goods under his organization, no one planned to donate them free of charge.

The merchants transported grain, medicine, and even wine, meat, cloth, etc., which were to be traded. The Navy of the Eastern Expedition was actually rich.

"Don't you have many prisoners here? There are also many captured spoils, which can be used to trade with merchants. In this way, the barracks obtained urgently needed food, grass, medicine, etc., and the merchants were able to make profits. The best of both worlds, and you don't have to wait for the court to transfer food, grass, and supplies."

The efficiency of the imperial court was actually not as fast as the merchants at this time. They had to collect various materials, and then they had to collect ships and then form a fleet to transport them. How could it be so fast?

However, merchants can take advantage of their respective advantages to make this time difference.

For example, there are merchants selling wine, whose wine is in stock, while for example, boatmen, they are traveling on boats, as well as grain merchants, cloth merchants, drug dealers, etc.

"Is this OK?" Liu Jun asked. He used to be just a storm captain, but now he is injured and is left in the rear camp. He really has no experience in such things.

"What's wrong with this? The captured spoils and the prisoners involved in the detained will eventually be transported back to the Central Plains, and then handed over to the court and finally sold them. It's so troublesome. It's hard to get out of it for a while. Keeping them will have to increase the cost of care. How good is it for you to trade directly now?"

"There are no middlemen who make a difference, especially if you don't have to keep this burden, just throw your hands."

Liu Jun was overjoyed when he heard this. Yes, this is indeed the case. Besides, Li Xiao is now the Minister of the Order of An Dongdao, with the titles of Minister of the Strategic Envoy and the Comfort of the Wuzhenzhou, and he also has the job of the governor of Wuzhenzhou. He was Liu Jun's direct boss. He said yes, that's naturally OK.

No matter what, the strategic commander should claim to be the commander.

Moreover, the captures and captives in this camp are indeed a burden, especially those captives.

"I'll listen to Li Shuai." Liu Jun rolled his eyes and said with a smile. This guy looked thick, but it was thick and thin.

"I'm right, don't worry, I won't let the navy suffer any loss. I'll make sure that I won't let you suffer any loss."

As soon as Li Xiao set foot on the land of Baekje, he began to make his first decision after taking office.

"Take me to see all the seized spoils and prisoners on this island, and I'll sell you a good price later." Li Xiao said with a smile.

Behind him was a business group composed of hundreds of family representatives of all sizes from the Central Plains. They were looking around with their eyes shining, hoping to swallow the island in one bite, and they didn't even have a little residue left.
