C13 Business Genius
"Kill!"
Outside of the cavalry, a man with a full beard stood out, waving the small flag in his hand. Rows and rows of cavalrymen galloped their horses forward, chopping the scarecrow into two.
The man's eyes shone brightly as he directed the troops with great vigor. He arranged the troops in a neat and orderly manner.
"Fuck, that's not right, we're not going to kill each other like this. You four, come over here and stab me!" The man shouted.
The four cavalrymen immediately raised their horses and brandished their whips as they charged towards the man with their spears in hand. The man pulled out his horse's head from the crowd and swung his spear, sending two spears flying into the air. He then slashed down with the backs of the spears, knocking the third cavalryman off his horse's head and grabbing the fourth cavalryman.
"Did you see that? "Just like that!" the man shouted.
"General is mighty!" General's might! " the soldiers shouted.
Cao Bao walked over from afar, looking at the sight before him with a look of disapproval.
"General Cao, what is the name of this general?" Chen Yu pointed to the bearded man and asked.
He, Xu Qing, is a sergeant in charge of cavalry training. He has some skill, and should have been promoted a long time ago, but he has a bad temper and has always offended his superiors, so he has never been promoted. He has been a sergeant for twenty years and is only a sergeant." Cao Bao said indifferently.
"Senior Cao, can you give him to me?" Chen Yu suddenly said.
"Erm, I'm afraid it's against the rules for you to leave the army."
"I am willing to offer 20 gold coins to you." Chen Yu said.
"This guy, he's always making trouble in the army. If you want it, he can let you take it." When Cao Bao heard he was rich, he immediately nodded and said.
"Hehe, thank you, General Cao." Chen Yu smiled and came before Xu Qing, asking, "Brother Xu, are you willing to work under me?"
"Work? What for? "Your father's temper is really bad." Xu Qing said coldly.
"Look, this is how it looks like. If it wasn't for your bad temper, why would you have joined the army for twenty years and become a sergeant?" Cao Bao shook his head and sighed.
"Big brother Xu, if you follow me, I can give you a salary of ten taels of gold a year. Moreover, I'll even buy food and clothes for you and your family. What do you think?" Chen Yu said with a faint smile.
"Ten taels of gold?" Hearing this, Xu Qing's expression softened. Ten taels of gold was not even a salary that an average person would be able to earn in ten years. If that was the case, it would be a good thing.
"What do you want me to do with all this money?"
"Hehe, I just want you to help me train my soldiers and train the servants of my Chen family." Chen Yu chuckled as she spoke.
"It's fine to say that, but there's no need for family to pack up. I'm just a brother, I have nothing to worry about. You only need to take care of me. Ten taels of gold is enough for me to enjoy myself for a while." Xu Qing said.
"Heh heh, so Big Brother Xu agrees?" Chen Yu said.
"En, with such favourable conditions, if you don't accept it, you'll be a fool."
"Hur hur, alright. I'll pack up a bit later. You can come with me." Chen Yu smiled, two elegant arcs of light appearing between her lips.
In the last few days, Chen Yu was in high spirits, Xu Qing's ten taels of gold a year was not spent on horses, Chen Yu told Xu Qing to pick out the war horses, in the end, Xu Qing who spent all her time with the war horses had bought all the best war horses in the world, one hundred war horses, every one of them were fat and healthy, Chen Yu smiled as he looked at Xu Qing, thinking that if he picked up a treasure, he would bring a soldier, and he would also be the same type of person, no matter how bad his temper was, he still had to use them.
Because Dan Yang did not produce iron, iron grade equipment was very expensive, and the Taiping Dao just needed weapons. Chen Yu handed Guan Hai's jade pendant to the cantina commander of the Taiping Road, immediately gaining the trust of the other party, so the price for giving it to Chen Yu was also very good. 800 spears and 100 long swords, he sold it for a total of 600 gold.
Chen Yu used all of her gold to buy horses. The Danyang horses were expensive, but with the help of the Taiping Road, Chen Yu was able to buy horses from the people, and even bought 100 of them at a lower price. Although these horses were not as good as the Danyang military horses, but they were still much better than the horses in the south, and most importantly, the horses Chen Yu bought were all pure white and brown.
"My lord, look, what did I get?" On this day, Xu Qing joyfully arrived in front of Chen Yu. In his hands, he was leading a tall and big horse with pure red fur that was as smooth and smooth as satin.
"This is …" "Where did you get it?" Chen Yu asked.
"This is a Ferghana Horse from the Western Regions. It was injured in the military arena and was eliminated. I have the confidence that I can cure it. At that time, it will still be a thousand-li colt."
"Is this the legendary Ferghana Horse?" Chen Yu joyfully stroked the head of the horse. That horse raised its head and snorted loudly, its voice loud and clear, not diminishing in the slightest from back then.
"Well done!" He roughly estimated that just this Ferghana Horse was already worth five hundred gold on the market, and this was also because it was injured, Ferghana Horses were rare treasures, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent out his troops to attack Big Wen, he was able to obtain this Ferghana Horse, and in the end, he was only able to obtain a few Ferghana Horses that were able to kill and injure several thousand people. This kind of Ferghana Horses, if sold at the prime of their age, would at least cost a thousand gold, and in Luoyang it could even sell for three thousand gold.
Chen Yu was very happy and gave Xu Qing fifty taels of silver. Xu Qing laughed and took the silver to the brothel.
In a month's time, Chen Yu had transported all the horses to Ying Chuan, and a part of them had been sold to Guan Hai at a high price. Guan Hai might be heartbroken, but the matter was urgent, and he did not dare to sell them privately, so he had no choice but to brace himself and buy the eliminated horses at a price of two times the market price. He had spent a total of six hundred gold, and sold another fifty of the best quality horses to the elegant officials.
As for the other fifty horses, they were chosen by Chen Yu from the army and could be used as war horses. Chen Yu did not sell them, and instead brought them to his own home. This time around, he would bring a heaven-shaking storm to the Chen Clan.
Xu Chang City, the news of Chen Yu's return from selling horses had already spread throughout the entire city. Many distinguished officials were fighting to buy the horses Chen Yu brought back, causing Chen Yu's reputation to spread far and wide throughout Xu Chang City.
"Have you heard? A fool of the Chen family came back with a bunch of horses, so he made a fortune. "
"Yeah, I heard about it too. I also heard that Chen Yu wasn't stupid, it was just that she was sick, and now she's completely recovered."
"I heard that this Chen Yu is extremely intelligent. She only used one hundred gold coins to earn over a thousand gold coins in four months. She's a talented businessman."
"I heard that Chen Yu …"
Chen Yu's deeds were being spread all over Xu Chang City like a storm, and at the center of this storm was the Chen family.
Chen Family, in front of Chen Zhong's house
Chen Qian and Chen Yu stood side by side in front of the room.
"Cough, cough …" Come in. " Chen Zhong's slightly weak voice sounded from within the room.
Chen Qian and Chen Yu walked into the room side by side.
"Father." The two of them simultaneously called out.
"It's already been four months, the appointed time is here. Tell me about your gains. Qian'Er, tell me first."
"Father!" Chen Qian knelt before Chen Zhong and lowered her head.
"What's wrong?"
"Father, your son's cart arrived at the headquarters. It was robbed by a group of bandits, and all the food was taken away." Chen Qiancheng said in panic.
"Sigh, they've been robbed." Chen Zhong sighed and didn't say anything after that.
