L??Ning was ecstatic. As long as you dare to admit it, it will be easy! I will also make sure that you have no way out and can only follow him. At that time, you would have no way to regret it even if you wanted to. Especially in ancient times, credibility was very important. You had to admit what you said. This was a very good quality. However, in the later generations, this glorious tradition was abandoned, and many despicable and shameless people without credibility and character appeared.
Lu Ning chuckled and glanced at the delighted Old Man Zhen. He smiled and said,"Lord Zhen, it's a small matter in your eyes, but it's a big deal in the eyes of the people! In the eyes of those heroes, it was a great kindness! Without your secret assistance, who would dare to confront the Xianbei and Xiongnu cavalry? Many of my soldiers are talking about your great achievements every day! When they mention your name, everyone gives you a thumbs up. Everyone is happy that our Han Dynasty has such a patriotic person, a good person, and a great hero. I also admire your character very much! I've wanted to visit the old master for a long time, and I also want the old master to give us a few more pointers.”
Elder Zhen was beaming with joy.
Lu Ning's high-level flattery made the old man dizzy. In the Great Han Dynasty, merchants had a very low status. Now that Lu Ning had suddenly praised and flattered him, the old man's status, influence, and identity had been raised to a very high level. Even an iceman would smile.
"Mr. Ziyi, please don't give me that tall hat anymore. I know you're looking for me." Elder Zhen smiled. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I can help you, I will do my best to help you.”
When Lü Ning heard that there was a chance, he started to call Ziyi mister now. Their relationship had taken another step forward, and he was ecstatic.
L??Ning stood up and bowed to Old Man Zhen before replying respectfully,"On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of refugees and disaster victims at the border, I would like to thank you, Lord Zhen! With your words, the hundreds of thousands of refugees and disaster victims at my border will be saved! "I also swear that as long as I, Lu Ning, am alive, I will lead the Han Dynasty's hot-blooded men to exterminate the Xianbei and Xiongnu. Even if they escape to the ends of the earth, I will hunt them down. Those who offend the Han Dynasty will be killed no matter how far they are.”
Elder Zhen was also deeply moved by Lu Ning's sincere words, and he respected Lu Ning from the bottom of his heart. "Mister Ziyi, how do you want me to help you? If you have any requests or ideas, you can tell us. We'll just discuss it in detail.”
Lu Ning glanced at the old man and laughed maniacally in his heart. However, he still said very seriously,"Lord Zhen, I need you to help us solve the problem of food and iron ores. "Of course, we don't want the old master to give it to us for free. We will pay the old master according to the market price.”
Old Man Zhen raised his head and glanced at Lü Ning. This kid was really asking for an exorbitant price! These two things were in high demand at the moment. Although I heard that you snatched a lot of things from the Xianbei tribe, these things cost a lot of money. You can't ask me to give them to you for free or at a low price, right?
When Old Man Zhen talked about business, he immediately changed into a different person. He said in a calculative tone,"Mister Ziyi, since you said that there are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims and refugees at the border, we need a lot of food to solve the problem! Moreover, you still need a large amount of iron ore. Since I know that you don't have any source of income, how are you going to pay for it?”
Lu Ning smiled." Old man, when our army wiped out the Xianbei tribe and the Horse Gang tribe, we seized some gold, silver, jewelry, and other spoils of war. In addition, we can also exchange things that you are interested in with you. I think some of the things we produce are still worth taking out."”
Lü Ning had long been on guard against this move. He also knew that the nature of businessmen was to put profit above all else.
After hearing Lü Ning's words, Zilong handed Lü Ning's bag to him.
Lü Ning took out the distilled white wine and paper that he had personally made and handed them over. He also handed over the new furniture style that Lü Ning had drawn to the old man, saying that the old man could send someone to Yanmen to take a look at the real thing.
Old Man Zhen opened the jar of wine first, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out, intoxicating everyone.
The old man asked the servant to pour a small cup of wine. He picked up the wine in the cup and looked at it. It was white and transparent, without any impurities. Then, he took a small sip and said,"Good wine, good wine. This is really a peerless wine.”
Of course, it was good wine. Who else could make such a distilled liquor!
When Lu Ning heard the old man's words, he chuckled and continued,"Old Master, how much is this wine worth?”
Elder Zhen thought for a moment and said honestly,"The retail price should be several hundred taels of gold per jar, perhaps even a thousand taels. I just don't know where Mister Zi Yi got this immortal wine.”
"I brewed it myself," Lu Ning said with a smile.”
Elder Zhen was in disbelief. How was this possible? Wasn't it a joke that the famous Big Bear of the Great Northern Prairie knew how to brew wine? No one would believe it.
Elder Zhen let go of his confusion and asked again,"Mister Ziyi, how many jars of this immortal wine can be produced every month?”
After hearing this, L??N??ng made a serious estimation and said confidently,""As long as there are sufficient raw materials, the quantity cannot be controlled! Of course, if he brewed too much, it might not be as expensive and valuable.”
Elder Zhen burst into laughter. This kid knew how to do business!
"Mr. Ziyi is right, the rarer something is, the more valuable it is." If Mister Zi Yi wanted to do business, he would definitely be good at it.”
"I'm sorry, Old Master. I know nothing about business." Lu Ning smiled. I just want to protect the border and let the people have a good production and living environment. I want to give my Great Han a deep defense space and zone to resist the invasion of foreign barbarians.”
"Can my family monopolize Mister Ziyi's products?" Old Man Zhen asked.”
Lü Ning thought to himself,'There's really no business without treachery!'
Lu Ning still smiled." That will depend on what kind of conditions the old man gives me. If the conditions are suitable, I think I can let the old man monopolize everything except for the areas under my jurisdiction. I can also limit the production according to the old man's requirements. I can also produce a few more products of different grades.”
