Xiaoguangong

Chapter 56
The younger brother must give some sweetness first.

Jiangling was not short of food, but lacked confidence. Guan Ping's arrival proved that Cao Jun could get through the waterway, and his respectful attitude made Chen Qun very proud. All these ships of food should be given to Guan Ping.

Well, anyway, it's not my family's own food, so I can fool around by casually talking about things like people's hearts in front of Mr. Cao.

Guan Ping didn't expect such a generous genius to exist, so he kowtowed again and again, Chen Qun became more and more proud, called his followers, gave Guan Ping his warrant, and told Guan Ping to come and find him if he needed anything. solve.

After finishing these things, Chen Qun's celebrity style flared up again, and he was too lazy to continue talking to Guan Ping.

He flicked his sleeves, thinking that it is so easy for me to do things, this is the difference between celebrities and ordinary people.

Many years ago, Chen Qun also hang out with the impoverished Liu Bei for a while. At that time, Liu Bei was like a headless chicken, surrounded by a group of warriors.

Chen Qun's attitude of handing over the details today is learned from Liu Bei, but he still can't eat and live with these warriors like Liu Bei and sleep with his feet.

Hey, forget it, so be it.

With Chen Qun's help, Guan Ping quickly found a place to stay.

Chen Qun gave Guan Ping all the food from the three ships totaling [-] shi to commend the bravery of his soldiers.

At that time when we attacked Wenpin, it took so much effort to snatch a ship of food. It's better to be a celebrity, and don't even look at it, just give the food away.

This is the legendary celebrity demeanor, learn it, there is no end to learning.

With so much food, Guan Ping discussed with Ma Liang and decided to keep only [-]% of the ration for emergency, and the rest...

All sold.

Cao Jun's soldiers around heard that someone was selling food with their eyes wide open.

There is a serious shortage of food these days, and food is more useful than money.Even if this navy can eat military rations after landing, it still faces deduction from the superior.

So much food can solve a big problem, even if you want to sell some of it, why sell all of it.

When they found out that Yunshan was a bandit from Jingzhou who had just surrendered, contempt suddenly appeared on their faces.

Prodigal son.

It really is a bandit.

Hearing that there was food to buy, everyone around took out money and cloth to buy a large amount. Cai Mao and Cao Hong's subordinates reached a rare agreement, and they all looked for opportunities to quickly spend the money they had.

Because it was a seller's market, Ma Liang and Wang Mo, who replaced Guan Ping, could naturally handle it calmly.

He first said that money that is underweight is absolutely unnecessary, and cloth mixed with water is also unnecessary, you can figure it out yourself.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while——

This has to talk about the current economic situation.

The Han Dynasty has been using five baht coins for a long time. According to archaeological findings, a five baht coin in the Han Dynasty was about 10g.Later, Emperor Huanling started messing around for some inconvenient reason, and the single weight dropped to 4.3g, which is barely reasonable.

But later, Mr. Dong changed all this. He kicked the gas pedal and got out 0.5g of money. Later, he didn’t like it, so he made fake money mixed with lead and tin, which directly exploded ancient commodities. The beginnings of the economy.

But Mr. Dong hasn’t been around for a few years. In theory, Cao Cao still has a chance to change all this, but everyone knows that Cao Cao is a literati, not an economist. He has been working hard for so many years, and he is satisfied with soldiers and food. In the 17th year after Dong Zhuo abolished the five baht coin, that is, this year, Cao Cao, who had just become prime minister, suddenly slapped his head.

Damn, I forgot to mint coins for so many years!
Forget about minting coins!
So Prime Minister Cao hurriedly "used five baht money", trying to look as normal as he was when he was a child, and lay a good foundation for some unspeakable things in the future.

But Cao Cao, who doesn't understand economics, was shocked to find out that even though I recovered the five baht money, no one used it...

This is because in the first year of Jian'an, in order to save the great man who was at the end of his luck, Cao Cao decided to accept the advice of several counselors with distinctive personalities and start farming!
The policy of garrisoning fields did provide Cao Jun with a large amount of military rations, which became the key to their victory, but the problem came, all the rations became Cao Cao’s military supplies, and there was nothing on the market. Under severe deflation, money has a fart use?
Prime Minister Cao doesn't understand economics, and all his subordinates are as good at economics as Jeffrey Sachs, so they have no choice but to open up and leave the problem to his son and grandson. Cao Wei didn't solve it when he was finished.

Now Ma Liang said, I only want money, copper coins worth enough, if you can’t get them out, don’t stay here, leave them for those in need.

Guan Ping's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on Cai Mao who was in the distance. Cai Mao was stunned by the enigmatic look, and couldn't help but stand out from the crowd, and said proudly:

"I want it all!"

As we all know, the Yellow Turban disturbance in Jingzhou was not very fierce, and he did not meet Mr. Dong, and Cao Cao and others did not involve them in the Central Plains War before.

This place is short of salt and horses, and water transportation is well developed. It is impossible not to engage in a commodity economy. When Liu Biao was here, he hoarded money everywhere. Every family in Jingzhou made a lot of money from trade, and none of them was short of money.

It doesn't matter if Cao Jun can't afford it, I have money, I pay a premium, and I want it all.

The best good rice on the market is only 400 yuan a stone, and Cai Mao pays the highest price for the whole package.

He didn't feel that he was deliberately angry with these pariah-like soldiers of the Northern Army. He wanted to prove one thing before——

Only those with my surname Cai can have enough food and clothing. In Jingzhou, I have the final say.

He walked up to Guan Ping with a pleasant face, staring at Guan Ping's pair of red phoenix eyes that were quite similar to Guan Yu, with a sincere smile on his face.

"Nephew's business is easy to do. How about this money, how about uncle sending it to you?"

Guan Ping couldn't see Cai Mao's thoughts, he whispered:

"Thank you uncle, if you still have business in the future, please invite uncle..."

"Hehe, let's get rich together."

Hey, the more Cai Mao looked at it, the more Guan Pingshun felt that his decision just now was too correct.

Killing Guan Ping is equivalent to turning against Liu Bei and blocking all his escape routes. This is good for Cao Cao, but not good for himself. It's better for everyone to do business honestly together. Of course, if you have money, you have to make money together.

Guan Ping and Ma Liang looked at each other, stood up quietly and said:
"Uncle is taking care of the business like this today, so my nephew can't charge too much, or I will be reprimanded by the elders. The total price of the 2700 stone grains is 108 million yuan, how about my nephew selling it to my uncle for a fraction?"

"Oh, hehe, my nephew is right, so I won't be polite. One million, right? I'll just..."

"Where is the uncle?" Guan Ping said with a smile, "It is clearly 18. Did uncle make a mistake?"

18 million!
Cai Mao was slightly taken aback, but then hesitated.

Buying and selling, each takes what it needs, and each does not owe each other.

But these two thousand seven hundred shi grains and rice were sold for only 18 yuan, which is basically no different from free gifts.

Cai Mao knew very well that there is no such thing as free food, so he breathed heavily and calmly stared into Guan Ping's eyes, trying to see what this eldest nephew was thinking.

It took him a long time to let out a foul breath.

"Nephew Xian is right. I'm old, so it's all wrong."
