Seeing that the shopkeeper was extremely calm when facing the five million taels of silver bills, Lu Xiangsheng finally let go of his heart. In fact, he was not here to exchange for cashing out the silver. Now the 100,000 army has not even seen the shadow. Why did he exchange for cashing out the silver?

He just wanted to see if the silver bill could be exchanged for cash. Now that he has confirmed it, he naturally put the silver bill away and was ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the shopkeeper who was rising on the verge of the day raised his hand and said, "Please stay with you, Governor."

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but wonder. I didn't exchange the silver anymore. Why are you keeping me? He asked inexplicably: "What else is there?"

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said awkwardly: "I heard that the Governor wants to recruit 100,000 soldiers. I, I want to recommend something to the Governor."

Luo Yangxing really dares to spread anything. Fortunately, the recruitment is not a secret, and it doesn’t matter if it is spread.

Lu Xiangsheng replied angrily: "Yes, this recruit hasn't arrived yet. What do you have to recommend?"

Luo Yangxing was really shot while lying down. He was the kind of person who was not in charge of his own affairs and was hanging high. If the emperor had no order, he would usually lead a group of younger brothers to wander around the capital, so busy that he would not touch the ground. The beauties couldn't stand it. How could they have time to spread these news!

In fact, these were all handed down by Zhu Cijiu and Cao Huachun. The military expenditure given this time was all silver notes. If Rixinglong had no preparations, wouldn’t it be a mistake?

Shanxi is the birthplace of Shanxi merchants and the hometown of most of the shareholders of Rixinglong. Naturally, a smart and capable shopkeeper is sent to take charge of the Shanxi semicolon. This shopkeeper is actually Fan Yongdou, one of the major shareholders of Rixinglong. He has been engaged in military supply for half his life and is naturally very familiar with the demand for the army. He can think of many places that Lu Xiangsheng did not expect.

The Ming Dynasty military household cannot be regarded as a regular army. They are just some of their ancestors who have served as soldiers. Perhaps some Qianjia or commander still have a few pairs of armor and weapons at home. Generally, there is nothing in the military households. Except for the fact that the thousand households are idle and they are gathered together to practice, they are no different from farmers at other times.

Therefore, these recruits almost came empty-handedly, with weapons and military uniforms, boots and quilts. Weapons can also be collected at the arsenal. I’m sorry, military uniforms, boots, military tents and quilts. There is no such thing in the arsenal. Who knows when the imperial court will recruit soldiers? These things will grow hair after being left for a long time.

Lu Xiangsheng trained all the regular troops of the Jingying camp, and these things were already matched, so he had no idea at all. Fortunately, Fan Yongdou was a military recruit, so he knew what was going on when he heard Lu Xiangsheng's tone. So he reminded carefully: "I don't know that the military uniforms, boots, military tents and quilts of the recruits are all ready."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was shocked and said, "Ah, do you need to prepare all these? Are they not military households? Didn't they stay with these things in their previous generation?"

Fan Yongdou patiently explained: "The younger generations who have some basic roots in the army can naturally enter the army. People with these things are now staying in the army. As for these new recruits, countless generations of ancestors have never been soldiers. Even if they keep these things, they are now in ruins and cannot be used at all."

Lu Xiangsheng is a versatile civil and military talent, so he is naturally not a stupid person. These things are clear at a glance. He was surprised by the shopkeeper's understanding of military supplies, and couldn't help but bow and say, "Thank you for reminding me, I don't know the name of the sir Gao."

Fan Yongdou hurriedly replied, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. The villain's surname is Fan, and his name is Yongdou."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't make much politeness with him and asked directly: "I heard from Manager Fan's tone, these things are sold in Rixinglong?"

When talking about doing business, Fan Yongdou became excited. He said with a gaze: "We started with this one, and naturally all of them are standard, and the credibility is guaranteed for decades, so the Governor can order with confidence."

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but say, "Order? Do you have no spot stock?"

Fan Yongdou replied with a wry smile: "Governor, you are a 100,000 army. Why are we doing so much goods when we have nothing to do?"

Lu Xiangsheng thought it was right. Why is a business prepared more than 100,000 sets of standard military uniforms for no reason? He was sick! He asked anxiously: "I don't know how much these things are, how long will it take to deliver them?"

Fan Yongdou introduced in detail: "The original price of military uniforms, boots, and quilts is 8 taels of silver for you. I will calculate six taels of silver for you. The original price of a 100 taels of silver for you. I will calculate for you. The original price of a 100 taels of silver for you. I will calculate for you. The original price of a 100 taels of silver for you. We have special workshops to produce these things. Your configuration of a 100,000 army can definitely be done within one month."

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it in his mind. According to the market price, it was already very cheap, so he said readily: "Okay, you will order military uniforms, boots, and quilts in Rixinglong. You need 10,000 sets of military uniforms, boots, and quilts, and a standard ten-person cowhide military quotation of 10,000 yuan. Delivery within one month, is there no problem?"

Fan Yongdou smiled and said, "No problem, no problem, don't you need a handsome account? It's much more comfortable than a standard cowhide account."

Lu Xiangsheng said firmly: "No, it's just a place to sleep. So why waste it? Soldiers can sleep, but I can sleep."

Fan Yongdou couldn't help but feel awe. Ordinary generals and governors had to customize more comfortable tents. However, the governor slept like soldiers and was definitely a good general who loved soldiers as much as his son. He couldn't help but remind him: "Governor, don't you need this food or grass?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked a little embarrassedly: "Do you need to book this too? Is it the same if the recruits arrive and buy it?"

Fan Yongdou explained: "Of course it's okay to buy new recruits when they arrive, but they are easily slaughtered. After booking, others dare not raise prices randomly."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said gratefully: "It's still the one whom Shopkeeper Fan thought. Then you have reserved the grain and grass here, 100,000 stones of grain and 300,000 kilograms of grass."

Fan Yongdou said in a little embarrassedly: "Grain is two taels of silver and one stone, and the forage is one tael of silver and one hundred kilograms. These are the prices ordered by the court. In fact, in Shanxi, there are far more than this price. There have been severe droughts for many years. These things have to be transported from Jiangnan. I really can't give you discounts."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that Fan Yongdou would really sell him at the price ordered by the court. You should know that the northwest has been drought for years and the food is expensive. It would be great if you can buy a stone of five taels! It seems that Luo Yang is a good person, but he didn't ask anyone to take the opportunity to kill me. Well, I have to thank him after returning to the capital.

Luo Yangxing doesn’t care about how much food he costs per stone. In fact, these are all told by Zhu Cijiu. This time he has been a great man while lying down.

After discussing the price, Fan Yongdou began to draw up a contract. After both parties signed and sealed, Lu Xiangsheng paid another deposit of one million taels, so the military supplies matters were settled.
