Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 66 Both are local giants, who is inferior to whom?
"Get it..."

In the racecourse, there were horses neighing from time to time, one after another.

Liu Deran looked at the numbers on the banner, he was embarrassed, it was too late... After all, it was a step too late. In the beginning of the skyrocketing horses in the past, in the north, 200,000 yuan could still buy a good horse.

But as time goes by, not to mention the good horses, the horses have been snapped up.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the last batch of horses on the market is hoarded at this racecourse in the outskirts of Luoyang. If they are robbed, they will not be able to buy them even if they have money!
You won't be able to buy it next year, the year after, or the year after!
Liu Deran squinted, the muscles on his chubby face began to tremble, his eyeballs rolled wildly, and he was frantically calculating in his mind, 2 million a horse!
Still a little too high.

"In this way, one hundred and five hundred thousand horses, still get ten horses!"

Liu Deran gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead protruded. After all, it is not easy for a wealthy family like him in Zhuo County to spend 5 million at a time.

otherwise…

According to the original trajectory of history, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold his official ranks, and the high-ranking officials of Jiuqing with a "two thousand stone salary" for 20 million yuan each, are not going to die in the street?
But for the sake of face, in order to continue to hang out in the noble circle, Liu Deran has already fought hard.

One hundred 500,000!

Liu Hong, who was standing by the side, was dumbfounded when he listened. How could it really be sold at such a high price?
Even, for a moment, he suspected that this was a "sitter" jointly hired by Yu'er and the Zhen family, but... thinking about it carefully, it was completely unnecessary!

A fake is a fake and doesn't do them any good.

Jian Shuo was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, this is too crazy!It is crazy enough that the price of horses has increased from 200,000 to 500,000. Now...someone actually offered a price of [-] a horse!
Is the seller crazy?Or are buyers crazy?Or... is this world crazy?
On the other hand, Zhen Yi seemed determined. The more Liu Deran raised the price, the more confident he was in Liu Yu's order. "A horse costs 2 million, and a string of five baht can't be less!"

Liu Deran frowned, he was even biting his teeth, he was weighing, the "Empress of King Jing of Zhongshan" next door had ten horses, he must have at least eleven, no...twelve, otherwise it would be too deliberate .

He came here on one horse, and there were two more in the stables at home, so... at least nine more horses had to be bought!

"There's no such thing as a buy-and-sell price. Master Zhen, give me a little bit. One hundred and eight hundred thousand dollars, I want nine fine horses!"

While speaking, Liu Deran tugged at Zhen Yi's sleeve.

Zhen Yi's face turned cold, and he flung him away. "If you say 2 million, it's 2 million. You don't need to make a move. Chen Wang is also here. Our Zhen family sells horses with a clearly marked price! You are not deceiving!"

"One hundred and nine hundred thousand dollars!" Liu Deran had already gritted his teeth...

His heart was bleeding, but unfortunately, the more the price of this horse did not drop, the more he had to buy a horse!
otherwise…

The servant next door to him has ten horses ostentatiously. He used to pretend that he was 2 million, but now that the price of the horses has skyrocketed again by 2 million, he pretended to be 20 million!
Not to mention the county magistrate, but the county magistrate... I am afraid that he will be invited to drink tea with him often.

This is no longer a matter of money, it is a matter of face and status.

"One... one hundred and nine hundred thousand dollars!"

"Not for sale!" Zhen Yi's tone was extremely firm. "2 million money, it doesn't matter whoever comes!"

"Okay...okay..." Liu Deran clutched his chest. "It's 2 million for 2 million, and I want to personally select eight good horses!"

He can only spend so much money, if the price cannot come down, he can only reduce the number of horses!
Fortunately, he can pick first!

Zhen Yi was slightly taken aback, but soon he came back to his senses, how similar is this scene to the sale of beard weapons in the past?

Very familiar taste!

Even, for a moment, Zhen Yi felt...according to Liu Yu's thinking, even with an additional 500,000 money, he could still sell it!
It's just that Liu Yu has already set the price, so he doesn't need to raise it any further, he can't be greedy.

"I can pay the deposit first! You must keep the eight horses I selected." Liu Deran opened his mouth and said, "As for the follow-up money, I will send it within five days? How about it?"

"Deal!" Zhen Yi smiled and shook hands with Liu Deran.

never thought...

at this time. "Give us thirty horses too!"

The person who spoke was a 20 years old man with dropped cheeks and a needle-like "hedgehog" beard. He was riding a white horse. There were two people beside him. One was older than him, and the other was younger than him. Not a lot.

Zhen Yi raised his head and saw clearly the people who came, he knew all of these people, and they all came to ask about the price of horses before.

They are the wealthy sons of Qiao County in Peiguo——Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun!
You know, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun are well-known wealthy households in Qiao Pei!
There are thousands of followers in Cao Hong's captivity!
As for the family of Cao Ren and Cao Chun, the records of the eldest son Cao Ren in the history books are: "A young man is good at hunting with bows and horses, and later heroes rise together. Ren is also a shady young man, and he has more than a thousand people, and he moves between Huai and Si!"

As for Cao Chun, he is the eldest son, "inheriting his father's business, he is rich in wealth, and there are hundreds of children and servants!"

This shows how rich their family is.

As for why Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun are so rich?
Speaking of which, it is all related to Cao Teng, Cao Cao's grandfather.

Cao Teng served the four emperors in the palace, which is unprecedented. In the years when his power was at its peak, he sent Cao Ding (Cao Xiu's grandfather), Cao Chi (Cao Ren's father), Cao Yu, Cao Yin, Cao Ren, and Cao Teng to the same clan. Bao Jun arranged to enter the court as an official.

It can be said that one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven.

And among these Cao family members, there is a young master of "corruption" who is Cao Xiu's grandfather Cao Ding!

It is recorded in the fan book "Cai Yan Biography" that during Cao Ding's tenure as Prime Minister of Hejian, he embezzled tens of millions of dollars.

Later, Cao Ding became Shangshu Ling and Wujun Taishou, and he was greedy for countless money, but in the end he fell off the horse without accident, and his evening scene was miserable.

His son was also implicated, so his grandson Cao Xiu carried his father's coffin alone, rented a cemetery to bury his father, and then left his hometown and took his mother to the remote Wu land for refuge.

only…

The money that Cao Ding was greedy for ink was transferred to Cao Hong, Cao Ren and their father miraculously by some unknown method!

This indirectly made the two families wealthy!
Unlike Liu Deran who buys horses to pretend to be aggressive, Cao Hong buys horses because he loves horses so much that he loves horses like his life;

But Cao Ren and Cao Chun have a "knight-errant" heart in their hearts, and want to lead a group of brothers to fight for righteousness, help the weak and eliminate the strong!
You know, in this era, ranger is a very compelling profession, and many passionate young people dream of becoming "ranger"...

For example, Guan Yu, Gan Ning, Xu Shu, and Tai Shici all had experience as rangers.

Even Zhang Chunhua, Sima Yi's wife in the later period, known as "Chun Xiao Tai Sui", was also a famous female ranger in Hanoi!
certainly…

These are not important, what is important.

After Liu Deran bought eight horses, Zhenjia Racecourse quickly sold another thirty horses, all at a sky-high price of 2 million a horse!

And after the first two "crab-eating" people stood up.

Originally, among the onlookers, many children from wealthy families rushed out.

"I want one too!"

"The Sima family in Hanoi wants three good horses!"

"The Lu family in Xuzhou wants ten good horses!"

"The Mi family in Xuzhou wants thirty good horses!"

All of a sudden, the horse trading business that had been quiet at Zhen's racecourse suddenly exploded.

original…

It's not that everyone doesn't buy it!

Instead, they are all waiting and watching, after all, no one wants to be the first one to be taken advantage of!

But when someone really took this step, they suddenly realized that this is not being taken advantage of, this is to make the family prominent, and this is a good opportunity to compare with all the wealthy families of the entire big man!

The same local wealthy family?

Who is humbler than whom?

In the same way, there are only so many good horses, buy first and choose first, and the later... if you don't keep them all, the quality of the horse will be worse!
In "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

——"Spring, the first month, first set up the stables of Ji Ji, and receive the horses from the prefecture, the right and the right, one horse to 2 million!"

It is such a record!
At this moment, Weiran "comes true"!
