Chapter 526 Don't forget to make money before the war
Shi Lei and his group actually divided into three groups of people and moved together. Needless to say, Shi Lei and the personal guards were squatting in Youzhou City.
Uncle Fan, with his subordinates with some knowledge, including some young village houses trained by Teacher Chen, and some guards, simply ran to the Pingzhou capital Lu Long, to take over the affairs of the governor first.
He had the handover document signed by the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office, Shi Lei's appointment letter, and the authorization letter that allowed Uncle Fan to temporarily help with government affairs. He could have supported this part first.
Anyway, Shi Lei mainly depends on their help when he comes. Most of the time, he only has personal stamps and doesn’t care too much about specific matters. Who makes him unprofessional?
Finally, there was a way, and the special forces members, led by the hunter uncle, led the animal army, all headed straight to Lulongsai, the northern department of Pingzhou.
Every time the alien races in the north go south and invade, they usually pass through the line of Yingzhou and Pingzhou, and then go around an arc toward Youzhou City.
In addition to Yingzhou, the northernmost prefecture and county in the Tang Dynasty, it must be tested, Lu Longsai in Pingzhou is also the focus of harassment by foreign races. These two places are also strategic areas that they cannot avoid when they want to enter the hearts of the Tang Dynasty. They are both on the outermost periphery of the Tang Dynasty, so Shi Lei must be particularly concerned about Lu Longsai.
The Hunter and the others came here as reserves at any time, and the enemies of the province really succeeded. After Shi Lei finished his affairs in Youzhou City, he would go straight to Lu Longshu. Who made the military situation here more urgent?
He would rather appear on the front line and fight the enemy to the death than squatting in Pingzhou’s heart and dealing with government affairs.
After having a drink with other generals, Shi Lei stayed in Youzhou City for a few days, and the other generals rushed back early to arrange defense.
Shi Lei was not very familiar with the soldiers under his command. It seemed that there would be no big impact on whether he appeared or not. It would be better to wait until the generals under him spread his strength and many glorious deeds that he had just witnessed with his own eyes, and then he would appear in front of everyone at the right time, and lead them to kill the world, and then establish his tall image, and there would not be so much time to test and suspicion from each other, so that everyone would be embarrassed.
General Li, who had fought with him, and Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou who had once made suggestions, agreed to meet again in winter, and Shi Lei turned around and went to find Zhang Shigui.
These two people can be said to be the leaders of the local faction and the foreign faction respectively. Shi Lei naturally needs to establish a good relationship with them. This was what Zhang Shigui specifically told him. Of course, Zhang Shigui also hopes to ease the relationship with General Li and other local factions through Shi Lei's relationship.
There are actually no conflicts and conflicts in nature, but the local households always have to have an xenophobia. And it happened that Zhang Shigui and Zhang Jian were both civil and military figures, that is, first-class Confucian generals. They were mostly brave and brave, and their styles were different, so the relationship between the two sides could not be too harmonious.
But with Shi Lei's fierce man with the number one name in the world, he showed his strength with a refreshing battle and recognized each other very much. Didn't Zhang Shigui see a turning point?
In addition to instructing Shi Lei to build a good communication bridge, as a close elder, Zhang Shigui must have more insight into Shi Lei, tell him about the local forms of Pingzhou, and what other information should be paid attention to outsiders, so that he can be targeted after he goes back.
Shi Lei happened to take this opportunity to express his feelings to Zhang Shigui. He planned to open up the Youzhou market for his caravan.
After staying here for a few days, Shi Lei had already seen the development of Youzhou City's commerce. Various commercial businesses and guilds were spread all over Youzhou City, and business travel of all ethnic groups was endless. Perhaps because Youzhou has the advantage of geographical advantages, water and land transportation is very convenient, and there are major tribes in the north, as well as the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, so foreign trade is very developed.
When the Shi family's caravan came over, even if it was impossible to open up this huge market from the beginning, it was worth it just to use it as a raw material procurement base. Various rich supplies from the vast Northeast region are also very important for the Shi family's shops.
Various top-notch furs are an advantageous resource. The quality of tiger skin, leopard skin, bear skin, marten skin, etc. is higher than that of other places. Who makes the weather cold in the northeast? The animals are covered with thick fur, and they are all oily and smooth, and they have become the most popular luxury goods of wealthy families.
Others include ginseng, deer antler and other medicinal materials and supplements, which are also of the best quality. Even if they are just sold to Chang'an, you can make a lot of profits. What's more, the Shi family also has its own shop to reprocess, and the profits will be several times higher.
Since Shi Lei saw such benefits, there is no reason not to chew this piece of fat, let alone Zhang Shigui is the governor here, and there is no need to put such a big backer. Others will laugh at the Shi family for being blind and pushing out the benefits of their mouths.
Shi Lei may not have a political sense, but his sensitivity to money is still quite low. Isn’t he going to talk to Zhang Shigui and seize this opportunity to make money?
Zhang Shigui naturally had no objection to this. He asked who would do business, but not to do it. If the Shi family moved in, Youzhou's commerce would be more developed. This is a matter of only benefits but no harm for Zhang Shigui, who also has the responsibility to develop local people's livelihood.
At this time, no one can tell anything about taking care of the Shi family's business. He is not biased and obviously, everyone is still competing fairly, but he is a strong person to protect him.
After receiving the affirmative reply, Shi Lei simply sent a letter from behind a Fei Ge to send a letter. The Shi family's caravan has been gathering strength, but originally planned to go to Pingzhou to support the local economic development, and it is not difficult to switch to Youzhou now.
First, I have a firm foothold here, and then I can extend my tentacles into Pingzhou. The local guys in Pingzhou Province think that he, the governor, looks too ugly.
After making up for this matter, Shi Lei did not stop. After saying goodbye to Zhang Shigui, he took his guards and rushed to Lu Long to pass.
Anyway, there is not much difference between him or not in Pingzhou Capital, nor is he a famous capable minister, nor has he allowed the civil servants to find the backbone of his backbone. He would be quite conscious if he didn't help much.
But his ability is naturally different when he is placed in the border area. With his powerful general as a magistrate, it is like a Dinghai Dingkeep. Any alien who is desperate to come and challenge him. Shi Lei lets him splatter blood on the spot in minutes. The increase in morale is really not a little bit. Originally, eight points of combat power can be used to score ten, which is also the real value of his coming to Pingzhou.
More than 400 miles were in Shi Lei and the others, and it took a few days to pass. Without caring about the fatigue of rushing, Shi Lei and his guards simply entered the unique "安"-shaped fortress group in Lulongsen.
