Chapter 179: A Good Opportunity for Wen Hou

Jia Xu asked a question like a cannon, making Liu Xun's question so hard that he didn't know how to respond.

But he also found that the person in front of him was a little wrong.

"Who are you?" Liu Xun asked.

"Jia Xu under Cao Gong's command." Speaking of this, Jia Xu no longer concealed his true identity.

Liu Xun knelt up and pressed his sword and asked, "You dare to come to Hefei. Are you not afraid of me..."

"What are I afraid of?" Jia Xu walked slowly to the side table and sat down: "The same thing, if you kill me, the general will definitely die. If I live, the general will also be beneficial. I think the general should know how to choose."

"You're so sure I'll surrender?" Liu Xun asked.

"For the general, there are other options?" Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "Li Mao was killed, how many people can be used under the general? As soon as my lord's army arrives, how many days can I defend Lujiang?"

Jia Xu asked exactly what Liu Xun was worried about.

He sat back with his brow locked.

After a while, he changed his tone and asked, "What should I do if I follow Mr. Jia?"

"The lord, Nian Zai, was once a minister with Yuan Gonglu, and couldn't bear to break his descendants. Yuan Yao and others could not kill him, but Zhang Xun..." Jia Xu did not continue: "What should I do, General Liu should consider it."

Liu Xun had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Of course, Jia Xu would not urge him.

From Liu Xun's performance, he has already judged that this time he will never go to Hefei.

A few days later, Lu Bu from Pengcheng received news from Hefei.

Liu Xun designed to kill Zhang Xun, captured Yuan Yao and others and sent them to Shouchun.

The Yuan family in Huainan was officially erased from the heroes of the late Han Dynasty.

When he got the news, Lu Bu was circling around a wooden frame in the courtyard.

Following his instructions, two craftsmen spliced ​​together long strips of wood.

There are still a pile of wooden boards on the ground not far from the frame.

"The mortise must be aligned and there must be no deviation." Lu Bu told the craftsman: "If you tilt it a little bit, the bed will be ruined."

The craftsman used a thin line to mark the length, striving to closely connect the tenon and the groove.

Amid the sound of beating, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong who brought him news: "Liu Xun really killed Zhang Xun and gave Yuan Yao to Cao Cao?"

"This is the best news for Mr. Wen." Chen Gong said: "It's like Liu Xun gave Huainan to Mr. Wen."

Lu Bu nodded, his eyes never leaving the frame that the two craftsmen were making.

As each wood is spliced ​​together, a frame appears in front of Lu Bu and Chen Gong.

Chen Gong asked in surprise: "What is Wen Hou doing?"

"Bed." Lu Bu replied: "The bed for sleeping."

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, people would lay the bedding on the ground when they sleep.

Even if there is a bed at home, it is just used as a seat when entertaining guests, and it is impossible to sleep on it.

In Chen Gong's opinion, the frame in front of him is like a four-dimensional one.

He couldn't understand what it would be like to sleep on it.

When the craftsman lifted the wooden board next to him and put it on the frame, Chen Gong realized it.

It turns out that people don’t sleep directly on the frame, but they will also have wooden boards on it...

There was another blow, and the craftsmen pieced together a bed as Lu Bu ordered.

Lu Bu walked around the bed with his hands behind his back and nodded with satisfaction: "It looks pretty good. Although it is far from what I want, at least it looks like."

"Wen Hou, this thing..." Chen Gong asked in surprise: "How to use it?"

"If I can put the mattress on it and lie on the bed at night, it will feel much more comfortable than sleeping on the floor." Lu Bu said: "If I can bring it to the market, I can make a lot of money."

Chen Gong shook his head: "It's hard to say. When new things are launched, someone must agree. No one agrees. Just Wen Hou said nothing and said nothing, and no one will believe it."

"You're here just right." Lu Bu smiled at him: "I was thinking about sending it to Zhang Shiping, but I'm going to deliver it myself, which is too grand. If someone else wants to send it to him, I can't force him to sleep tonight. The bed is placed at home, and if you don't have to be like a waste at night, Zhang Shiping doesn't know the benefits, so of course he won't recommend it to others. No matter how much we make, it won't be able to exchange it for cash."

"Wen Hou used to make a lot of toothpaste and sell it at high prices. Now Xuzhou is stable everywhere, and even the people have used toothpaste." Chen Gong smiled and shook his head: "The toothpaste is not as expensive as before, and the market price has dropped more than ten times. Even if Zhang Shiping knows the benefits of bed, he may not easily transport it to Wen Hou for goods to be sold."

"It's a matter of time before toothpaste is worthless, but the bed is different." Lu Bu said: "Using materials and making craftsmanship all determine the market price of the bed. As long as he is willing to sell it, I can make him a fortune."

When Lu Bu made toothpaste, Zhang Shiping and a group of merchants made a lot of profits.

As people's lives improve, many civilians have become interested in toothpaste.

The demand of civilians has prompted toothpaste to shift from high-end fine production to low-end mass production, and Zhang Shiping and others have also made much less profits.

The profits of single bottles of toothpaste are decreasing, but the customer base is increasing. The most important thing is to purchase toothpaste. Zhang Shiping and the merchants who first cooperated with Lu Bu do not have to go and sell them in person.

They exchange toothpaste in batches to other merchants to make the difference from it. Even if the profit is small, it is a good thing for them to have small capital and big profits.

Chen Gong was responsible for Pengcheng affairs and had contact with merchants such as Zhang Shiping.

Merchants are merchants after all, and they are still based on interests.

When talking about toothpaste with Chen Gong, although he made a lot of money, he still sighed and said that he had lost money to his grandma's house. He hoped that Lu Bu could lower the supply price of toothpaste.

But Lu Bu ignored their set of things at all. The formula was still very tight, and the toothpaste was still supplied according to the price he set.

Zhang Shiping and others were also helpless.

Beds are different from toothpaste.

When toothpaste formulas are combined together, it is difficult to tell which materials are inside.

But the material of the bed is very simple.

If a few pieces of wood are pieced together, if it is really easy to use, it is difficult to ensure that the merchants will not make the same thing by copying each other.

Chen Gong didn't think of this, but Lu Bu already thought of it.

He smiled slightly and patted Chen Gong's arm gently: "Don't think too much about the office, send the bed to Zhang Shiping first. Tell him that if you think it's useful, you can come to me for details."

"If he refuses to use it, I will watch him use it from the side." Chen Gong replied: "Be sure to let Zhang Shiping sleep in bed tonight!"

"I have a job!" Lu Bu said with pain.

Chen Gong greeted the guard next to him: "Carry the bed and go to see Zhang Shiping with me!"

The bed was carried by several guards and followed Chen Gong toward the gate.
