Chapter 153
The day after Zhen Qian and Lu Bu finished drinking, after Zhen Qian woke up, Zhen Qian said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, I drank too much yesterday and almost forgot to tell you an important thing!" Lu Bu asked with a puzzled look: "What other important thing is there? Old Zhen, just say it if you have something!" Through sweet conversation, Lu Bu knew that the important thing Zhen Qian said must have something to do with money! This is related to his future financial prospects!
Zhen Qian thought for a while and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, as a general, you will definitely have the opportunity to fight with illness in the future! This is a great opportunity to make a fortune! You must seize it! But you must remember one thing! When fighting, you must show mercy! Never kill all the enemies who kneel down and surrender are money. The rules of our Youzhou are that all enemies captured on the battlefield can be sold as slaves to serve as military funds. Except for part of this money, you can still get the big head. It accounts for about 50%. "
When Lu Bu heard this, he became interested and asked Zhen Qian: "Oh. There is still this matter in Youzhou? Tell me about how much a slave is worth? How much can I get if it is 50%?" Zhen Qian was too familiar with the price and blurted out: "The price of a slave is 10,000 yuan. If you can catch a thousand prisoners this time, you can sell it for ten million yuan, which means you can get five million yuan."
But after Zhen Qian finished speaking, seeing that Lu Bu was not making any noise. He thought Lu Bu would not take this little money seriously, so he quickly explained: "General Lu. Don't think that selling these prisoners is too little. You should know that a good horse in Youzhou is only sold for 3,000 yuan. But a slave has sold for 10,000 yuan now. This is a lot."
In fact, Lu Bu was not thinking that selling these slaves was too little, but was shocked by the slaves that Zhen Qian said could be sold at such a high price. However, as Zhen Qian explained to Lu Bu, Lu Bu also understood, and Lu asked in surprise: "Who said these prisoners were selling less? I just wondered that these prisoners were not beautiful women, how could they sell so much money? And if we sell so many prisoners at once, who could afford it?"
Zhen Qian then felt relieved and smiled at Lu Bu, "General Lu, don't worry. These prisoners can definitely be sold. Although the slaves sold in Youzhou are not for life. There is only a ten-year period. However, in addition to building bridges, roads and cities, our Youzhou now requires a lot of manpower to open mountains, quarry and mining. But all the people in Youzhou have land and work to do. Who would work to make those hard money? But these work cannot be done without anyone. So these work is usually done by outsiders or slaves who can't find living. Moreover, ordinary people also need some slaves to be helpers. Therefore, prisoners do not have to worry about not being able to sell them in Youzhou. And even if we don't sell them and rent them out, we will make a lot of money. But that cost is too high. And it also needs management. Like Lu
People who make a lot of money like the general are still worth selling. What's more, even if ordinary people have slaves, they don't need to buy them anymore. But those private mine owners still have to buy slaves to mine. What's more, there are also our Youzhou Prefecture's clear price to buy slaves to reclaim wasteland outside the frontier. Therefore, the standard price of our Youzhou slaves is 10,000 yuan per person. If some of these slaves have special skills, the price will be higher, while the old, weak, sick and disabled, and some slaves with a certain service life will be lowered accordingly. Of course, 10,000 yuan has the ten-year right to use a slave, and the average spends 10,000 yuan per year is a little lower for every citizen in Youzhou who can earn 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a year. But you have to make some money. After all, it is not easy for others to manage these slaves."
After Zhen Qian finished speaking, he saw Lu Bu's eyes greedy, and his eyes were still turning around. Zhen Qian had a chat with Lu Bu for the past few days and knew about Lu Bu. He immediately knew what Lu Bu was thinking about it. He quickly reminded Lu Bu: "General Lu. All slaves in our Youzhou must be registered. Private slaves should be punished for the crime of pursuing rebellion, and their property should be confiscated and their property should be confiscated. Those who force non-war prisoners as slaves should also be punished for the crime of murdering others' lives. It is also a second-day death penalty, and half of the family property should be confiscated. And don't think that no one will know or sue this matter. All the whistleblowers in our Youzhou will be protected as long as the report is true. Youzhou government can get it from the person being reported.
20% of the benefits. Moreover, every slave sold and rented in Youzhou must have a slave certificate issued by Youzhou Prefecture. These certificates are one or three, one is kept by the Youzhou Prefecture Office, one is kept by the slave himself, and the other is kept by the slave owner. Every year, the slave owner signs and writes comments for these slaves on the slave certificate and submits them to the Youzhou Prefecture Office for review. By the ten-year period, these slaves will be dismissed from the Youzhou Prefecture Office with this certificate and become free people. That is, ordinary people. Moreover, while these slaves obtain the slave certificate, they will be trained in advance by the police in our Youzhou Prefecture Office. They all know what they should do and what kind of protection they are protected. *** Slaves will also be fined."
Don’t say that. This matter was really talked about by Zhen Qian. Lu Bu was really thinking about it just now, preparing to take all the people in the village that can be seen on the road as prisoners and sell them as slaves. But now Lu Bu also knew that this idea was impossible. At that moment, Lu Bu smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha! I really want to thank you for reminding you, otherwise, I would really miss this great opportunity to make a fortune!"
After hearing this, Zhen Qian smiled and said, "Haha! It's rare that General Lu, you and Xiaodi have the same hobby. Of course, Xiaodi will remind you! General Lu, there is one thing you have to remember that in our Youzhou, there are many opportunities to get rich. As long as you don't violate the law and discipline, as long as you have the ability, the gold will automatically enter your pocket! Look at the generals who have followed the lord for a long time, which one is not rich! I'm not afraid to tell you that there was a joke about property circulating in our Youzhou!"
When Lu Bu heard it was a joke about property, he said with great interest: "Oh, what is the joke?" Zhen Qian smiled and said: "It is said that there was a rich man from another place who just came to our Youzhou and thought he was very rich. Once he went to the Tianranju Restaurant in our Youzhou and wanted to pretend to be a wealthy man, so he ordered some very expensive wine and dishes in other places! He also told the waiter that his family was rich, but who knew that the waiter said to him with a pity: 'It's okay! Our Tianranju is run by the King of Jin's Mansion, and we will not look down on others. Although you don't have much money, we will also receive it!' Haha! To be honest, in our Youzhou, tens of thousands of yuan of wealth is nothing at all! Tens of thousands of yuan of wealth is not as rich as a rich man in our Youzhou!" When Lu Bu heard it, his eyes were even brighter, and he admired that kind of life!
Finally, Zhen Qian said again: "There is another point, I hope General Lu is ready! That is to enter the Military Academy! During this period, our Youzhou affairs are cumbersome, and the lord has no time. After this period of time, General Lu should be going to study in the Military Academy! I will congratulate General Lu in advance!" When Lu Bu heard this, he was a little unhappy. Anyway, he had already regarded this Zhenqian as his own person, so he said something. Lu Bu said: "It's outrageous! What's the point of congratulations! If you enter the Military Academy, then I don't have military power! Without military power, how can I go to war? How can I get rich? I have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, what else can they teach? Isn't this obvious or breaking bridges across the river and wanting to undermine me?"
When Zhen Qian heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and said, "General Lu, you were wrong again this time! You went to the Military Academy, but it won't delay your wealth! And let you go to the Military Academy, that's the lord who likes you, is ready to promote your official position, and is ready to use you!" Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "Why?"
Zhen Qian took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "General, this military academy is the hard work of the lord. The lord once said, "The army without correct ideas is a blind army. If you want to defeat the enemy, you must ensure the advancedness and correctness of your team's thoughts. How can the army implement this correct idea? It depends on the generals of the army. Only when the generals learn correct ideas in the military academy and consistently carry forward it, our army will be strong. And only those generals who hold the command of the army, when the lord is about to assign more important responsibilities, will the lord transfer those generals to the military academy to study to maintain the advancedness and correctness of the generals in their thoughts. Therefore, if you are transferred to the military academy by the lord, you must be promoted to the lord!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu curled his lips and said, "What's the use of promotion? No matter how big the official is, it won't be too big! Besides, if you are promoted, can you lead a large army outside? You also said, leading a large army, but you have many opportunities to make a fortune!" Zhen Qian said with a smile: "General, of course, after the promotion, you have made more money!"
"What? There is such a thing?" Lu Bu's eyes widened and immediately became energetic. He grabbed Zhen Qian and said, "Tell me quickly, how could he make more money after being promoted than me leading the army outside? Don't lie to me!"
