Chapter 249: 4 places to visit, price increase of 7%
That night, the lights came on and Zhang Ye's residence was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Lu Shan ordered his men to carefully prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain the young marshal who had come from afar.
Not only that, Zhang Ye generously put all the fine wines that he had collected for many years and was reluctant to take out to taste on the table, and drank happily with the young marshal.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, seeing that everyone was already a little tipsy, Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and waved to the side in a drunken manner.
Seeing this, Lu Shan, who had been serving nearby, quickly stepped forward and bowed, waiting for orders.
Zhang Ye lowered his voice and whispered in Lu Shan's ear, "Are there any informal places like that in Qizhou City? Arrange for a few pretty girls to come over and have some fun with the young commander."
When Lu Shan heard this, an awkward smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He scratched his head and lowered his voice as he stammered, "This... I'm afraid it's not easy to find. All those places were shut down by Fang Yu. How about I go out and ask around?"
At this moment, Zhang Liuzi, who had been sitting opposite and drinking and eating quietly, suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed and waved his hands, saying, "Hey... Brother Chao Rong, please don't bother with this! This kind of thing is completely unnecessary for me. It's totally unnecessary!"
Then, Zhang Liuzi put down his wine glass, wiped the corner of his mouth, and continued to explain with a smile: "If I really want to find a girl to have fun with, why would I go all the way to Donglu? It would be much better to go directly to Shanghai. There are all kinds of beauties there!"
"Besides, I've heard a little bit about your policies here. Since you've already implemented these rules, as guests, we naturally have to respect and abide by them, right?"
"Since you've said so, then let's do it! But I have to be frank with you, don't say I wasn't nice enough or didn't treat you well enough when we get back to Fengbei!"
Zhang Ye took advantage of the situation and tried to get over it by laughing it off.
Actually, this kind of thing varies from person to person.
If it were the veterans of the Fengbei Army who came here, we would have to find some pretty girls to keep them company tonight!
After all, these old guys have been used to enjoying a life of luxury for half their lives. If they don’t have a woman by their side when they sleep at night, they will definitely feel uncomfortable!
"Hey, I came all the way to see you this time just to relax, wander around, and learn from you some new ideas, methods, and so on."
As Zhang Liuzi spoke, he grabbed a wet towel from the table and wiped his mouth. He pointed at Lu Shan, who was sitting next to him, and pleaded with a smile on his face, "Brother, I know you're busy with work, so I didn't expect to keep you here for too long. From tomorrow on, you can go do whatever you need to do, and let this little brother accompany me around, okay?"
"Okay, that's absolutely no problem."
Although Zhang Ye didn't know what this kid was trying to do, he was too lazy to delve into the reasons at the moment.
"Lu Shan is my guard division commander. In the three eastern provinces of Shandong and even in Shanghai, he's more influential than my reputation! If you need any help, just say hello to him. No need to be polite. Just treat this place like your own home!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liuzi immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He immediately stood up, pulled up the waistband of his pants, and replied with a smile: "Okay, then it's settled! I'm going to the toilet first!"
Watching Zhang Liuzi walking farther and farther away until he disappeared from his sight, Zhang Ye's originally relaxed brows suddenly frowned slightly, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Lu Shan beside him and gave instructions: "Follow him for the next few days. While ensuring safety, as long as his requests are not excessive, try to meet them."
"Tsk... I don't think this guy has any good intentions." Lu Shan frowned, his face full of worry, and warned him in advance, "What if he wants to enter a top-secret facility like an arsenal or a shipyard?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ye turned around nonchalantly, his lips slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, and said confidently: "Let him go! With his limited ability, it would be strange if he could understand the things in the shipyard! To be honest, even I would feel dizzy if I took a look inside.
"Even if we really transport all that advanced equipment back to Fengbei, without the help of professional technical experts, it will just be a pile of junk and will be completely useless!"
"Oh right!" Speaking of arms, Zhang Ye suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around and ordered, "Send someone to inform the Silla Jin family that starting with the next batch of goods, the price of all ammunition will increase by 70%!"
Lu Shan, standing by, was startled when he heard this. He stared at Zhang Ye with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "A 70% increase? Marshal, you're too ruthless! How can they be happy with such a huge increase all at once? What if they get so angry that they turn around and look for other buyers to cooperate with? Then we'll lose more than we gain."
"Who can sell it to them?" Zhang Ye held the lighter in his hand, a cold smile on his face, and said disdainfully: "It's a shabby place with no decent roads. The Sakura Country has blocked the sea transportation route, and they don't even like the Fengbei Army's equipment. After all, this group has no other choice except us!"
"I've been supporting them for so long in vain, and now I finally see some improvement. As long as these people are not stupid, they should be able to understand the situation!"
"These days, landlords don't have any surplus food!"
"Yes, I'll give the order right away!" Lu Shan nodded repeatedly, then hurriedly left the room and began to arrange related matters.
The Marshal is right. The landlords have no surplus food. Over such a long time, the counterattack of the Silla royal family has begun to take shape. After many counterattacks, they have successfully occupied several cities as development bases. Now that they have recovered, it is natural for them to give back to the independence army.
After all, who can keep doing something that has no benefits?
Besides, when Jin Junli knelt in front of Zhang Ye and asked for help, his words were better than singing. As long as the Independence Army provided weapons support, they were willing to give all their resources in return.
Now, it’s time for them to fulfill their promise. Whether it’s true or not will be verified immediately!
