Thunder requests good plan urgently, qian Po says for great: "Nod Tie Chengjin, be not tickler. Er can pass buy card at be being set everywhere, from inside mercantile business one money silver smokes him one li. In business, a hunderd li is smoked one, do not concern an importance, still but impute to buyer; In me, be like the water of trickling sluggishly, the assemble becomes a river. Available makes rich already, army morale satisfies raise, big Yang Yan has eternal reason! " the great rejoicing after Lei Ting, think this law " proof at aeriform, civilian do not become aware also. And economize to avoid running short, the source is far not exhaust " , spend money then plan.
