Zhang Weiyu had heard of soap in Field Ridge Town. Now, all the people who worshipped Wang Xue were fighting to buy it. He did not know who had set the precedent that one must wash their hands with soap before reading Wang Shi and Wang Ci. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Old Divine King.
Therefore, soap was now a popular item that suddenly became very popular. It was very profitable!
Previously, Zhang Weiyu had lamented that if he had such a skill, he would not have to work so hard to farm.
Lü Shu said modestly, "I accidentally made it to support my family …"
"Negative emotion points from Zhang Weiyu, + 481!"
Zhang Weiyu really did not expect that such a profitable business would be started by Lü Shu. Nowadays, there were countless people in Lü Zhou who loved Wang Shi and Wang Ci. There were probably hundreds of thousands of people in the four capital cities and King City alone.
Moreover, this soap was a consumable. If the business was really expanded, the profits that this soap could earn would be terrifying.
In fact, the soap business on Earth was also profitable, but it was made by hundreds of companies. If one company monopolized the global soap, soap, and shampoo industry, it would be very terrifying.
Now, many noble women in Lü Zhou used soap as shampoo.
Under normal circumstances, women would smear a layer of oil on their heads in order to make their hair shiny and beautiful.
Although it looked good, the smell was a little unbearable. Because the oil could not be washed clean, the smell that remained on the hair over the years would slowly wash away. Soap was the best way to deal with the oil.
Lü Shu suddenly said, "Why don't you guys stay here instead of going to Nandu?"
Both sides fell silent. Lü Shu wanted to keep Zhang Weiyu because he had ulterior motives. He suspected that Zhang Weiyu had been in charge of troops in the past, and what Lü Shu lacked the most now were talents to train troops!
This Zhang Weiyu was able to accurately judge so many things from the Blackfeather Army scout's arrow that penetrated the wall. Lü Shu needed this kind of person now.
"I'm afraid not." Zhang Weiyu shook his head as he ate. "We still think it's safer to continue north …"
Before he could finish, Li Heitan took Zhang Weiyu's food away. Zhang Weiyu held his chopsticks and looked at the empty table: "???"
"Negative emotions from Zhang Weiyu, + 666!"
Lü Shu looked at Li Heitan and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Bring the rice back. Who told you to take the rice away?"
Li Heitan was stunned. "Didn't you just say that if they don't stay, they'll take the food away …"
"Scram," Lü Shu said calmly.
Lv Shu finally understood why Black Charcoal Li wasn't well-liked in Azure Dragon Fort before … Wasn't he a little too f * cking frank!
"Ahem," Lü Shu said, smiling at Zhang Weiyu. "Won't you reconsider?"
Zhang Weiyu felt a headache coming on. If they didn't agree to stay, they wouldn't be able to eat at all. How did a simple and honest young man like him become like this in the blink of an eye?
In truth, Zhang Weiyu hadn't interacted much with Lü Shu in the past. If he had known him earlier, he would have realized that His Excellency King Lu was already a very kind person ….
Lü Shu thought for a moment, then said, "Stay here and help me train my troops. I'll pay you two thousand godnotes each. How does that sound?"
In times of chaos, it was crucial that godnotes didn't depreciate. No matter how much war broke out between Southern and Western Provinces, as long as the capital city didn't fall, godnotes would always be the currency of Lü Zhou.
In the past, Lü Shu had used a kilogram of rice to measure the value of the godnotes of Lü Zhou compared to the notes of Earth. Unfortunately, he'd neglected one important point: Lü Zhou's productivity couldn't compare to Earth's, so rice here was extremely expensive.
Now that Lü Shu had promised to pay them two thousand godnotes each, fifty-six of them would be a considerable expense. They'd made quite a bit of money selling soap, but how could they have started fighting so soon?
Therefore, this was a rare time for Lv Shu to be generous. It was because he had taken a fancy to the other party's ability. Lv Shu was very clear that if the other party was willing, they might be able to obtain greater benefits by joining any faction.
Zhang Weiyu fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons of the offer. But before he could, Lü Shu was already starting to feel the pinch. "How about a thousand?" Lü Shu asked.
Zhang Weiyu looked up. "Two thousand, no bargaining. But you have to agree to one condition."
"What condition?" Lü Shu's curiosity was piqued.
"If the conditions allow, and if Southern Provinces' Redflame Army and Budou Army win, you'll have to help us take back Field Ridge Town. If the Blackfeather Army takes over this land, you'll have to escort us back to Field Ridge Town. As for how we'll deal with our identities, we'll handle that ourselves," Zhang Weiyu said.
Lü Shu was taken aback. "Is Field Ridge Town that important? Why do you insist on staying there?"
"In that case, you don't need to worry about it," Zhang Weiyu said calmly.
"Deal!" Lü Shu agreed. "But that's only if I, Wu Weijun, have the strength you speak of. I'm not going to do something like that."
"Don't worry, we won't force you." Zhang Weiyu knew that this was an unfair deal because Lü Shu represented power. If Lü Shu went back on his word, there was nothing they could do. But just like how Lü Shu believed that they could teach Wu Weijun, Zhang Weiyu also believed that Lü Shu wasn't the kind of person who would go back on his word.
At this moment, someone behind Zhang Weiyu said coldly, "Leave it to us to train the soldiers. Don't feel bad for them, and don't point fingers."
Lü Shu chuckled. "Don't worry. Let the professionals do the professional stuff. But I'll say the ugly words first. If you guys can't do it, I won't pay."
A worry was finally solved. It was like someone giving him a pillow when he was dozing off. Lü Shu was looking forward to how this group of people could teach the remaining 3,000 people of Wu Weijun. He could also take this opportunity to see what kind of people Zhang Weiyu and his people were.
If he found out that Zhang Weiyu and his people were actually not that good, he wouldn't spend the money in vain.
Lü Shu knew that Zhang Weiyu and his people were still on guard against him, but he didn't care. There was no need to be friends with everyone in this world, and he, Lü Shu, had no intention of making friends with these people.
Among the current Wu Weijun, Liu Qianzhi was at the third level, more than 300 people, including Li Heitan, were at the fourth level, and the rest were all at the fifth level. More than half of them didn't have a higher-level skill, so they couldn't improve their level.
Lü Shu suddenly wondered if it was possible to find a unified skill for this group of people to improve their level of strength.
When he heard from Zhang Weiyu that Mituryū Kanao's people were all first and second level masters, he was a little envious. With such high-level combat power, even if there were only 5,000 people, they could fight against thousands of soldiers and horses.
If the Blackfeather Army was Chanel, then Mituryū Kanao was the Maybach Exelero. There was only one in the world. They were two completely different worlds …
Lü Shu asked Zhang Weiyu curiously, "Is Mituryū Kanao still so powerful?"
Zhang Weiyu glanced at him. "There's no more Mituryū Kanao now."
