885, It's All a Trick (Second Update)

A group of people started a heated discussion and even invited Lu Shu to attend their discussion meeting the day after tomorrow. They asked Lu Shu where he lived. Lu Shu said that he had just come here and had no place to live.

As a result, someone immediately said that they had a place to live there and wanted to talk to Lu Shu Bingzhuye...

Lu Shu was speechless for a long time, but still chose to refuse. He would need his own place to make soap, and he didn't want others to know the secret recipe.

People in Lu Zhou's world don't pay much attention to business secrets, but Lu Shu still takes them very seriously. Lu Shu understands human nature very well these days. When he sold boiled eggs, some people wanted to know how he prepared the dipping sauce. After researching it, he sold boiled eggs next to him, but Uncle Li and the others drove him away...

Some people are really bad. When they find out that you have made money, they want to make money in the same way as you. They even want to cut off your livelihood without thinking about whether they should also develop a new skill.

So Lu Shu was worried about what if someone discovered the method of making soap? Lu Shu didn’t want to hit anyone when he first arrived, right?

Practitioners are good at one thing, but those who want to steal business must also look at their level of strength. If anyone wants to steal business, let Anthony Jasanyi and the bishop go and talk to the other party about the healthy and orderly development of the market.

However, Lu Shu agreed to arrive on time for the discussion tea party the day after tomorrow.

Returning to the table where Lu Xiaoyu was sitting, Lu Xiaoyu glanced at him: "What's there to talk about with them?"

Lu Shu laughed happily and said: "You have to integrate with them first before you can sell soap better. We are not familiar with the place here, so we need to have a breakthrough point. And I see that when these people discuss it, the people next to them like to hear it. People are our living advertisements in the future, let’s start making soap tonight!”

At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly looked at the bowl of white noodles in front of him: "Where's the beef? Is there no beef in the beef noodles? Waiter! Come here!"

The waiter came over with a white cloth on his arm: "What's wrong, sir?"

"Does your chef order beef?" Lu Shu asked calmly.

"No," the waiter was stunned for a moment: "Our chef doesn't order beef, what's the matter, sir?"

"What about the beef in my beef noodles?" Lu Shu was unhappy.

The waiter was stunned for a long time: "The girl next to you ate the beef..."

Lu Shu: "..."

"The negative emotion value from Lu Shu is +199!"

Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiaoyu. He guessed the beginning, but not the ending...

At this moment, several soldiers wearing armed guards walked in. Their armors were worn crookedly on their bodies, and their helmets were held casually in their hands. They looked like a few ruffians.

Lu Shu observed them silently, wanting to see what the Wuwei Army was like in normal times.

As a result, after the four people entered the door, they shouted: "Three kilograms of beef, two kilograms of wine, and four cold dishes, hurry up!"

Lu Shu had been sitting in the corner with Lu Xiaoyu without moving. When the other party was finishing his meal and paying the bill, a soldier from the Armed Guards suddenly put the helmet in his hand on the table: "Here, this helmet has been paid for, brothers, let's go ”

The waiter looked sad when he saw the helmet on the table. Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Can this be called an army? No more helmets?

Lu Shu secretly asked the waiter: "Is this helmet valuable? Can this thing be paid off?"

"What kind of debt is this?" the waiter in the shop said, dumbfounded. "I have to send the helmet back to the armed guards in the afternoon. If you keep this thing in your hands, you are hiding weapons secretly. It will kill people."

It’s all a routine, Lu Shu said with emotion.

However, it seems that such an army would be more suitable for him after entering. He does not seek meritorious service in battles, but only wants a place in the Sword House selection.

And with such a team, he doesn’t panic at all...

"Let's go," Lu Shu stood up: "We still have things to do."

This Wuwei Army does not look rich. Zhang Weiyu once said that the monthly rations allocated are not much. The reason why the Qing Sai Army is rich is because Nangeng City is relatively prosperous and the land is fertile, while Yun'an City is not a good place for transportation. There are no specialties on the main road, and merchants don't like to come to Yun'an City.

However, the poorer this place is, the more it likes to do things surreptitiously.

It is said that a Jianlu disciple once came to serve in the Wuwei Army, but applied for transfer within two months. This shows how miserable the Wuwei Army is inside.

It has to be said that Lu Shu could tell just by listening to some small talk how high Jianlu's status was in everyone's minds. The more this happened, the more Lu Shu wanted to visit Jianlu.

He asked the waiter. The Wuwei Army recruits troops every three months, and there is still more than a month before the next recruitment. However, no matter how the recruitment is carried out, the strength of the Wuwei Army is never full.

When Lu Shu left the noodle shop, he asked the waiter: "Does this armed guard usually fight?"

"Fight, why not fight," the waiter said contemptuously: "There are so many bandits in the mountains, and they fight every day."

At this time, when the shopkeeper saw the waiter saying this, he quickly glared at him. Lu Shu smiled, and there was indeed something fishy.

Of course there will be bandits in troubled times, but where do bandits come from? In fact, most of them are street children who have lost their slave owners, and the Wuwei Army itself is composed of street children. It would really be unreasonable not to collude with each other.

This is a vicious cycle. It is not a major transportation route in the first place, but as a result, there are still bandits in the mountains. It would be crazy if there are merchants willing to come over and do business. The result is getting poorer and poorer, and the poorer the poorer the worse.

Lu Shu pulled the waiter at the inn and asked, "One more question, do any merchants come here usually?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment: "Yes, but there are not many left. There are only two large caravans left. There are second-grade slaves in their teams, so the bandits dare not touch them."

Lu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Having a businessman meant that his soap could be sold far away.

Soap is very easy to transport as long as the air is kept moist. He asked curiously: "When will the caravan come?"

"It's in the east of the city now," the waiter said, "but be careful, that female slave owner has a very weird temper."

Lu Shu thanked the waiter and pulled Lu Xiaoyu towards the east of the city. Lu Xiaoyu looked at him curiously: "Have you decided what you want to do?"

"Fooling!" Lu Shu said confidently, with a mysterious smile on his lips. This was the first time that he had carried out a plan so seriously.

…

"Go out and let you in?" A strong slave pushed Lu Shu outward.

Lu Shu was unhappy: "I have a business to discuss with you. I guarantee that you will find it amazing after listening to it... Wait a minute, don't push me, I'm telling you, stop!"

Lu Xiaoyu's eyes widened as he laughed beside him. The Lu Shu on Earth gradually became synonymous with omnipotence. Everyone seemed to think that there was nothing impossible where Lu Shu was around.

Occasionally, it's quite interesting to see Lu Shu's deflated appearance in Lu Zhou's world.
