Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 21 Little thief, you are really black! 【Pursue reading and monthly pass】

"Nephew Zixiu, what do you want?"

"As long as Lu Bu can rely on me, no matter what you want, Dong will do my best!"

Dong Zhuo is quite realistic. If there is no benefit, he will be called Cao's boy, and if there is benefit, he will be called Zixiu Xian nephew.

Cao Ang didn't have the same knowledge as him, so he just raised two fingers.

"I only ask Mr. Ming for two things."

"First, I heard that you have a bloody horse named Chitu from the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions. I want this horse!"

what? !

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he felt a little bit reluctant.

The Chituma is his treasure. It took a lot of hard work and finally got it. This kid is going to take it away with a word?

"The red rabbit horse is also a treasure in the world. Even if it is considered a first-class horse among the hard-earned horses, I only have this one. Zixiu will see if we can change the conditions."

"I would like to meet your request with a hundred good horses. I don't know what you want?"

"Oh!"

Cao Ang put the tea bowl heavily on the table, got up and was about to leave.

Dong Zhuo hurriedly stood up, grabbed Cao Ang's arm, and shouted repeatedly.

"Give it, I'll give it, isn't it the red rabbit horse? I agree to this condition!"

Although the red rabbit horse is rare, it may be possible to get it from the Western Regions in the future. If there is no Lu Bu, where can he find a second one in the world.

Dong Zhuo knew clearly which was more important and which was less important.

Seeing Dong Zhuo subdued, Cao Ang reluctantly sat back in his seat.

"Since Duke Ming has agreed to the first condition, the second condition should be easy to handle. You only need to prepare one hundred catties of gold, and I will set off immediately to lobby Lu Bu!"

Dong Zhuo: "?"

"How much did you say?"

"One hundred catties!"

hiss!
Dong Zhuo gasped, and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

One hundred catties of gold! ! !

Why don't you just kill me, you little bastard, and use me to refine oil to see if you can make a hundred catties?
This brat, does he have any idea in his mind, a hundred catties of gold is like a hundred catties of rice when he speaks it out of his mouth.

Is it true that tigers open their mouths and kill people with their eyes closed?

Dong Zhuo silently picked up a candle.

"Wait a minute, I'll light a candle first."

Cao Ang looked at Dong Zhuo's actions with a confused face, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of candles do you light in broad daylight?"

Hearing Cao Ang's question, Dong Zhuo raised his head abruptly, looked at him with a ferocious expression, and said every word with weight like a lead stone.

"Because you are too dark!!!"

……

After making a fuss for a while, Dong Zhuo reluctantly put away the candle, and then looked at Cao Ang with dissatisfaction.

"I think you're a kid who doesn't work hard, doesn't know the five grains, and hasn't seen the sufferings of the world, so you're just talking nonsense."

"Do you know how much a hundred catties of gold is, and how high they can be piled up? Do you know that if the gold is exchanged for five plants, it can fill this small room?"

"you do not know any think!"

Dong Zhuo yelled as if he had exhausted all his strength, but Cao Ang still smiled slowly, making Dong Zhuo feel like he was punching cotton.

"Minggong, don't be impatient. Of course I know the value of gold. One hundred catties is indeed a huge amount."

"But in exchange for the loyalty of a peerless general who is one of the best in the world, is this price really expensive?"

"It's like a merchant doing business. The better the horses you buy, the shorter the journey time will be. The bigger the carriage, the more goods you can transport at one time."

"The more you invest, the more you earn!"

"Today, I spent a hundred catties of gold in exchange for a peerless warrior. After making good use of it, I will be able to create thousands or even ten thousand catties of gold for you in the future!"

"As long as you have Lu Bu, Ding Yuan's generation can be destroyed with a snap of your fingers. At that time, the entire Luoyang City will be yours. Will you lose a mere hundred catties of gold?"

Understand the applause!

These words were really brainwashing, Dong Zhuo's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he almost stood up and danced with his hands.

That's right!
How can you gain if you don't pay?
The greater the investment, the greater the output. If you rely on the mediocre generals under your command, it will take several months to take Ding Yuan and others down?

If there is Lu Bu, it will be different, and Ding Yuan will be wiped out while talking and laughing!

Dong Zhuo was very excited, but when he thought of the value of a hundred catties of gold, his blood that had just boiled instantly cooled down.

Sanity has retaken the high ground.

After sitting in the seat and groaning for a long time, he decided to change his strategy to persuade Cao Ang.

"Cough cough!"

"Nephew, it's not that I don't want to part with these golds. I'm really short of money, and I can't afford such a huge amount."

"300 years ago, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, his old man was able to generously throw a thousand catties of gold to reward meritorious ministers. It was because there was a lot of gold in the world at that time, and a large amount of gold was stored in the treasury."

"But today is not what it used to be. Let alone the world, even if there is not much gold in the national treasury, you insist that I spend so much gold, isn't it embarrassing me?"

"Well, according to the records in the book, hundreds of years ago, the price of gold and five baht was 200. I will double it for you. According to the total price of [-] million five baht, please help me recruit Lu Bu. how about?"

Dong Zhuo did not lie about this.

On the issue of gold, the situation between the two Hans was very different. Several emperors of the Western Han Dynasty rewarded meritorious officials directly with gold, and the amount was hundreds of catties or even thousands of catties.

As a result, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it immediately became searchable, and the emperor rewarded meritorious officials with other rewards, and gold only appeared with heavy rewards.

There are many reasons for this situation, such as the prevalent style of heavy burial in the Han Dynasty, under the concept of death as life, a lot of gold was brought underground.

The other is the great chaos between the two Han Dynasties, and the wealth also suffered huge losses.

And so on, no more details.

In short, Dong Zhuo is quite sincere when it comes to this matter, after all, 200 million is not a small amount.

But Cao Ang felt that it was not enough.

When he opened his mouth to negotiate the price, he would divide the price between people. If he could afford the price, he would set a high price, and if he could not afford it, he would lower the price appropriately.

For example, when negotiating a business with Liu Bei, Cao Ang would be more cautious when speaking, otherwise it would be better to kill Liu Bei for a hundred catties of gold.

But Fatty Hei is different, he has the ability to get so much money, but now he is just reluctant, so he bargained and wanted to use five plants to make up the number.

How could Cao Ang agree to such and such?
Therefore, despite Dong Zhuo's persuasion, Cao Ang just insisted on the price.

Seeing that the two of them were about to talk about their collapse, Cao Ang could only pretend to be impatient and explained.

"I don't know what Duke Ming is hesitating about. Do you think I'll take all the hundred catties of gold by myself, and half of it was supposed to be given to Lu Bu?"

"Is fifty catties a lot for me?"

……

ps. Thanks to "Ming Di Zuo" for the 500-point reward. I thought there were very few handsome guys with more than 500 handsome points in the world. (The author has 999999999999 handsome points)
