Chapter 475 Five Thousand Soldiers
"Mr. Pang, aren't you busy recruiting troops these days? Why did you suddenly come to me? Could it be that you have recruited enough troops?"
Lin Fan asked.
He just wanted to ask, Pang Tong had been recruiting soldiers for three days, and it should have been a result. Those soldiers who returned would have to bring back at least one or two people.
"Mr. Lin is indeed a clever plan. I sent almost all the soldiers in the city back. On the third day, I came back. Some brought one or two people back, some brought five or six people back, and some brought more than ten people back."
Pang Tong said excitedly.
Now, in addition to the more than 600 people sent back, there are also 5,000 newly recruited soldiers. These troops can barely guard a main city.
"Five thousand people! That's great. Mr. Pang, you know the military tactics. Next, I'll ask you to train troops. Tell me what you need. I will definitely be satisfied."
Lin Fan said excitedly.
He thought it would be a lot to recruit two thousand people, but he didn't expect that Pang Tong would recruit five thousand people in one go. If he had trained well, those pirates would be nothing.
Pang Tong felt honored to hear Lin Fan trusting him so much and said respectfully: "Mr. Lin, there is another thing you need to fund me now, that is, food, the soldiers have insufficient food!"
“Insufficient food?”
Lin Fan thought that there were five thousand people.
The food I brought before was obviously not enough. If I asked Guo Degang to buy fish, the consumption would be very large.
well!
Before the troops move, food and grass will come first, and the food is the big one.
"Mr. Pang, don't worry, I will go to the Detian Chamber of Commerce to discuss the food for these 5,000 people. At most, the food problem will be solved in three months."
Lin Fan said.
Now, I can only go to Guo Degang to buy fish. Fortunately, he brought a lot of money when he came to Zhenzhou, and the salt from the Detian Chamber of Commerce was sold by himself, which is a considerable income.
Next, it is cement. Lin Fan has made a series of plans. It is time for those chambers of commerce to contribute to the construction of Zhenzhou.
"With Lord Lin's words, I feel relieved. It's not a problem for me to train five thousand people. But what should I do with these five thousand people's weapons?"
Pang Tong asked again.
"You train first. I have already ordered Xiang Wentian to build the weapons of five thousand people. When he builds them, he will send them to your people."
Lin Fan said.
When Pang Tong heard this, he retreated directly. Lin Fan watched Pang Tong retreat, and immediately wrote a letter, ordering people to send it to the Detian Chamber of Commerce, asking Guo Degang to summon all the people from the Chamber of Commerce to him, and he wanted to discuss with them about planning the drawings, and instantly cheated.
"Well? Lord Lin actually asked me to convene all chambers of commerce to discuss matters. It seems that there is another big move, hehe! I'm looking forward to Lord Lin having another good idea."
Guo Degang said excitedly.
Now, Guo Degang is a new leader of any matter related to Lin Fan, because Lin Fan's many wonderful ideas can bring him a lot of money.
Early the next morning, the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion and the presidents of twelve chambers of large and small chambers of Zhenzhou City arrived, and more than a hundred people from all gentry from all counties also came.
"Today, Lord Wuhou summoned us to come, what's wrong?"
"I don't know. After Lord Wuhou came to Zhenzhou, he didn't know what method he used. He actually asked the Detian Chamber of Commerce to reduce the price of fish ten times! Could it be that he wanted our items to be reduced as well!"
"It's too much! Lord Wuhou is a good person for the people, but we businessmen are not livestock, we must live!"
"Yes! It's very difficult to do business here. If Lord Lin is just trying to trick us, we will have to leave Zhenzhou and go to other places to develop."
"Hmph! I'll put my words here today. As long as Lord Wuhou asks me to lower the price and treat the people, I will leave directly and never take them back!"
The people and squire from these chambers of commerce are complaining.
However, Lin Fan and the others also heard about the methods that Zhenhai Army was stationed at the port of the Detian Chamber of Commerce, and had just recruited five thousand soldiers.
It seemed like a force was formed. Lin Fan wanted them to come. If they didn't come, they would definitely not have the best fruits of them in the future.
Guo Degang of the Detian Chamber of Commerce sat aside honestly. In the past, he was the most arrogant person here, but after seeing Lin Fan's methods, he became honest.
Not only did he be honest, he also understood one thing: Lin Fan is not the kind of person who lets the horse run but does not let him eat grass. As long as he is obedient, he will make a lot of money.
After a while, Lin Fan walked in from behind and saw a hundred people coming. He couldn't help but be shocked. Zhenzhou still has some family background.
But then I thought about it and found that there are more than 100,000 people in Zhenzhou, and only 100 people are rich, which is a pity.
"Mr. Wuhou!"
When everyone saw Lin Fan, they all said respectfully.
"You don't have to be polite. I'm here to discuss the future planning issues of Zhenzhou City. If you have any good opinions, you can also mention them."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Mr. Wuhou, what do you mean by the planning issue of Zhenzhou City? Could it be that Zhenzhou City is going to build a house? This is not our business, it is the business of those people."
One person said respectfully.
As soon as Lin Fan came to Zhenzhou City, he was preparing to recruit people to build city walls and houses. Later, he stopped for some reason. He thought it was because he had no money, so he asked them for money now.
"Mr. Wuhou, Zhenzhou City is dilapidated and there is no need to repair it. Why not develop something else? I think your salty business is good, so let's do it too."
One person said with a smile.
Previously, they were the largest salt merchants in Zhenzhou, and they sold all the clean salt. Now they are ready, and the clean salt can no longer be sold, and they have become refined salt.
"Yes, we also want to do a salt business."
Everyone said one after another.
Lin Fan smiled slightly and knew that these people were all people who could not get up early without profit. They thought they asked them for money to build the city wall, so they changed the topic and wanted to do a salty business.
"Haha, I have already agreed with President Guo about Jingyan, and only do it for him. As for the reason, I believe you can guess it."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
fish!
After Lin Fan said that, everyone realized that no wonder the fish from Detian Chamber of Commerce suddenly dropped the price. It turned out that it was because they got the only salt business.
hateful!
Why didn’t this kind of good thing fall on their own? They can also go fishing! Selling salt makes more money than selling fish!
"However, I'll come to you today, but there's a more profitable business to you. If it's done, your home business will at least be a hundred times higher in a year."
Lin Fan suddenly said.
Chapter completed!
