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

Chapter 320 Yo, yo, isn't this the youngest Mi Fang?

March 25.

Cao Jun was stationed in the camp of Huang County.

Located in the camp of the Chinese army, Cao Ang was holding a simple piece of wood in his hand, and the knife in his right hand was quickly carving and scratching on it, and a large number of wood chips flew down in an instant.

Soon a layer was formed on the ground.

But before and after is just a cup of tea.

The wood in Cao Ang's hand has already shown a basic shape, it is a bird of prey with its wings outstretched, standing on a shelf and stretching its waist.

And after revealing the basic form.

Cao Ang immediately put down the carving knife, put his hands together on the head of the bird of prey statue, and then muttered something, and suddenly exerted force with his arms.

the next moment.

The five-color glow lit up in the tent, which was dazzling and dazzling. If Cao Ang was not the only one in the tent, and he had put down the curtain early, outsiders might see it and think there was some strange treasure in the world.

A long time passed like this.

The five-color glow gradually faded away.

It was replaced by a handsome and handsome golden eagle with wings stretched out like blade feathers, eyes as sharp as thorns, and beak with a faint cold light, looking extremely fierce and majestic, ready to fly high.

And most amazing.

It is the feathers of this golden statue, the whole body is taupe, and a section from the head to the neck is dotted with a large number of golden feathers.

Including the base of the wings and tail feathers, it also has immature white area marks.

simply put.

This statue was imitated by Cao Ang using his skills, using his own golden sculpture named "Jiujiu" as a reference.

Apart from being unable to fly, unable to scream, and lifeless, all other characteristics can be described as perfect replicas. It is quietly placed on the table at this moment, giving people the illusion that it will flap its wings and fly high in the next second.

"Chirp?"

Accompanied by a slightly suspicious bird song.

Xiao Jiujiu, who was forced to be a model by Cao Ang, immediately jumped from the shelf it was standing on to the table.

Then, around the lifelike statue, I started wandering and observing circle after circle, and flapped my wings twice from time to time, setting off gusts of wind.

Although it was just a vulture, Cao Ang could still sense the bewilderment in the golden vulture's gliding eyes by relying on his connection with him.

Where did one of its kind come from?
…………

The next stick of incense time.

Chirp, who has grown into a semi-huge monster and will completely transform into a bird after a little more time, began various trials of the statue.

It made a sound again, and flapped its wings gently, hoping to get some response, just like seeing itself in the reflection of the river for the first time.

And seeing such a situation.

Cao Ang didn't stop him, instead, he put his hands behind his back and watched from the side with a smile.

Of course, he wasn't idle and bored, and had nothing to do when he was full to engage in entertainment activities, but it was a test of his own disguise and forgery.

According to the description of the stele on the ship.

This skill can be forged between dead objects, imitating the exact same fake.

At the same time, camouflage is carried out among living creatures. As long as it is not attacked, it will not be able to break through the external dress.

And Cao Ang wanted to experiment.

That is, when imitating a living thing with a dead thing, what kind of effect will it have? Is it a failure to activate the skill directly, or is the effect presented in a compromise?

Of course, giving life to a dead object and turning it into a living thing like the reference object has never been thought of by Cao Ang.

If you really want to be so awesome, what kind of world will you unify, and you can just go as the creator god.

And the results presented now.

It is quite satisfactory to Cao Ang.

The things created by using skills, except that they are lifeless, have no difference in any other appearance and appearance characteristics.

This also means that in the future, Cao Ang can use this skill to do more things.

…………

While Cao Ang was thinking.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent.

Then I heard Xu Chu's voice coming in through the curtain.

"General, there is someone outside the tent begging to see you!"

Casually put the golden statue in the place where the big guy used to squat, Cao Ang asked immediately.

"Why, those families in Huang County again, that Li Xu, who wants to see me?"

"Reporting to the general, he is not a member of the big and small families in Huang County, but a person who has never met before."

"This person says his name is Mi Fang, and he comes from the Mi family in the East China Sea. He came all the way from Xuzhou to pay a visit to the general. Because he doesn't know his details, his subordinates came here to report, and I hope you will show me, general."

The name was precisely locked in my mind.

Cao Ang immediately raised his eyebrows, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Mi Fang?"

Of course, Cao Ang is no stranger to this person, and it can even be said that he has a deep memory, but what left a deep impression on Cao Ang's mind is not a good name, on the contrary, he is notorious and cast aside by others.

…………

The so-called Mi Fang.

It is the second child of the Mi family, the younger brother of Mi Zhu.

According to the original historical trajectory, Liu Bei ran to Xuzhou, and after inheriting Tao Qian's inheritance, the Mi family also chose to invest heavily in him, and even followed him with his family.

This can be described as a top entrepreneurial partner.

After Liu Bei gained a foothold in Sichuan and Sichuan, he naturally reciprocated, and gave the Mi family a very high courtesy and return.

Mi Zhu even leapt to become a veteran, a figurehead in the civil servant system. Unless such a person and family raised a banner to kill Liu Bei, they would only stand like a rock on Mount Tai.

But that's the wonder of things.

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren chose to surrender on the Jingzhou battlefield, and sold Guan Yu directly in a wave, which no one expected.

Among them, Mi Fang, as Mi Zhu's younger brother, with such a high status, was able to do such a thing, which really shocked many people's attention.

While the family's honor was ruined, and his elder brother died of illness due to guilt, he also left himself with an indelible reputation that will never be erased.

…………

of course.

For this twenty-five boy.

Cao Ang actually didn't take it too seriously.

Compared with this tiny individual, he is more concerned about the entire Mi family.

The Mi family in the East China Sea may not be well-known in the world, but they can be called extremely rich in Qingxu and other coastal areas, or even in the entire Kanto region.

The ancestors have operated for generations, engaged in various businesses including traditional agriculture, goods trading, salt mining, fishery, etc., especially after the collapse of the imperial court at the end of the Han Dynasty, the speed of development was even more rockets under the bottom, and they kept flying upwards .

developed to the present stage.

There are nearly [-] servants and diners alone, which is an exaggerated number. As for the money and treasures, the lands under their names are even more innumerable.

The Cao family is actually rich.

But Cao Ang asked himself that compared with the Mi family, he could only describe it as poor.

Now Liu Bei is still nesting in Pingyuan County as his county magistrate, and at the same time, he has won a wave of hatred for Yuan Shao on his behalf, which can be regarded as tied him to death.

It is almost impossible for Liu Xuande to reproduce his experience, receive the legacy of Tao Qian, the top leader in Xuzhou, and get the capital injection from the Mi family by the way.

So Cao Ang was thinking about it.

Anyway, the Mi family's money will rot if it is put in the warehouse, so since you can't invest in Liu Bei, it should be the same to help me Cao Ang, right?
Ah!
People from Mi's family can meet him.

In the future, they will be very knowledgeable about current affairs and will be very happy to become a minority shareholder of the Cao Group.

thought here.

Cao Ang immediately gave Xu Chu instructions.

"Zhongkang, lure people into the tent!"

…………

Not long after.

Another burst of intensive footsteps came.

And after Cao Ang gave permission.

The originally closed camp curtain was immediately lifted from the outside, and suddenly a cold wind of late winter blew into the camp along with the figure of the visitor. While the candle was flickering, it also made people sober a bit.

"I'm Mi Fang, I've seen the general!"

Follow the people who come and bow down.

Cao Ang also took a look at him by the way.

I saw that Mi Fang was dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a gold pendant around her waist. Although she had come all the way, she couldn't see any dust or embarrassment on her body.

But what made Cao Ang shake his head and sigh.

This guy's face is average.

His appearance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, and under his usual appearance, he is a bit thin, his eyes are narrow and long, and he also has a bit of shrewdness.

After a glance.

With a smile on his face, Cao Ang stepped forward to lift him up, and said politely at the same time.

"The Mi family in the East China Sea, I have always heard of its great name. Everyone in the world says that your family is the richest in the world. Seeing you today, it really lives up to its reputation."

"It's even more said that the two brothers of the Mi family are also rare heroes in the world. It's a pity that your elder brother, Mi Zizhong, has no chance to see him today."

…………

I heard Cao Angna's words of admiration even though it was polite.

There was a smile on Mi Fang's face.

Then he cupped his hands to Cao Ang and said, "Don't dare, my Mi family is just a small family of merchants, relying on the diligence of our ancestors for generations, we can barely accumulate some points, how dare we call ourselves rich in front of you, General."

"As for my brother, he has been appointed as Xuzhou Biejia by Mr. Taofu of Xuzhou before, but it is inconvenient to move around, so he can only sit in Donghai County. Otherwise, if he hears that you are here, General, he will come to see you in person no matter what. of!"

This is also a courtesy.

However, Cao Ang was good at extracting the key information he wanted from just a few words.

So Mi Fang's voice just fell.

He couldn't help raising his brows, revealing a faintly thoughtful expression.

next second.

Cao Ang asked unintentionally: "Brother Ling is in Donghai County, so if you want to come to the family's business, Zifang is in charge of it?"

Mi Fang didn't notice anything unusual in it.

Just nodded quickly.

"I don't dare to say anything about management, but I did run between the counties in Qingxu and other places. It was indeed my subordinates who came forward. This time I came all the way from Langya County in Langya County to you, General."

Speaking of it.

Cao Ang has thoroughly understood the power structure of the Mi family. It belongs to Mi Zhu who has the highest power, but Mi Fang is in charge of ordinary specific affairs.

It seems that I want to achieve my goal, which is to let Mi's family contribute their family assets and part of their assets to help and invest in Cao's family.

I have to talk to Mi Zhu, a key person.

…………

of course.

Even if it is confirmed.

Cao Ang would not open his mouth to drive Mi Fang back.

Instead, after inviting him to sit down in the tent, he asked with a smile on his face.

"From Langya County to this place, the distance is not that short. Even if you gallop all the way on a fast horse, it will take several days."

"Zifang worked so hard, it must not only be to visit me, but there may be some purpose, so let's just say it outright."

After hearing this statement.

Mi Fang hesitated at first, but recovered quickly, and said to Cao Ang tentatively.

"I came here because of the decree issued by the Qingzhou government not long ago. The salt farms in various places in Qingzhou need to be sold to the government. From now on, no one can mine salt mines privately under the name of one family."

"Many families and businessmen were involved in this. I am here to ask for your favor, General, for a few of them."

"These companies are willing to hand over most of their gains, just to keep the saltworks. I also hope that you can show your noble hand and give these companies a way to survive. I will also be grateful to you, General!"

…………

This statement is over.

Cao Ang frowned suddenly.

The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by something serious and dissatisfied with Bo.

Although he guessed that it would not be a good thing for Mi Fang to come here all the way, he was pleading for the families who own the saltworks, and he also thought that he could have the privilege under his idea of ​​treating everyone equally.

This is purely ignorance.

How big a face is doing this?
thought here.

Cao Ang immediately said in an unswerving tone: "What do you mean by giving them a way to survive? I can't tell the difference between these salt fields, so I just forcibly take them away?"

"Or does it mean that if these salt farms are lost, their huge families, which have been passed down for several generations, will starve to death because they can't eat?"

Cao Ang's dissatisfaction was vividly expressed.

Immediately, the corners of Mi Fang's mouth twitched twice.

He also knew that the request he made was to dance on Cao Ang's minefield. After all, the state government's order represented Cao Ang's will.

With a firm attitude, this is basically a common view of the aristocratic families in Qingzhou on this order.

It's just that since it's here, it's all here.

Then it is impossible to go back after sitting for 2 minutes, so you have to work hard.

So Mi Fang still had the courage to bite the bullet, and said to Cao Ang: "Under the general's rule, the government's affairs are naturally in line with justice, and there is absolutely no intention of robbing."

"These families who own the saltworks have also accumulated a lot of family assets on weekdays, enough to live comfortably."

"It's just that these families rely on the sea for food after all. After losing the salt field, it means losing their foundation. No matter how much money they have left over to store food, they will have to eat it up one day. Therefore, I will call it a way to survive."

…………

Listen to that justification.

Cao Ang sneered.

Then he asked back: "Under my Han Dynasty, there are many local clans, but those who can inherit wealth and honor for more than three generations need to meet certain conditions."

"And on this basis, if you want to go further and make the family pass on for a long time, the conditions required are even more stringent. Do you know anything about this?"

Mi Fang vaguely guessed what Cao Ang wanted to say.

But still nodded with a stiff neck.

"If someone in the family is an official with more than two thousand stones, it can guarantee wealth and honor for at least three generations. If the two thousand stones can be passed down from generation to generation, the family can inherit it for a long time, and it is not impossible to even become a famous family."

"If there are no senior officials in the family, it is okay to pass on poems and books to the family."

"Or wealthy businessmen, who can also be passed on for several generations, but it is rare for a long time."

If you simply rely on wealth inheritance and lack social status and social connections, then often after the death of the person who maintained the connection in this generation, the next generation will face plunder and slaughter, so it will not last long.

After Cao Ang got the answer he wanted.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table.

He stared at Mi Fang and said.

"Families located in coastal counties can rely on the right to mine sea salt, control the production, transshipment and sale of salt, and thus obtain massive benefits, often surpassing ordinary families by more than a dozen in just a few years. Years, or even decades of accumulation.”

"As far as I know, there are quite a few families in Donglai County, Qingzhou, who don't meet the conditions you mentioned above, but they can still pass on their families from generation to generation. What do they rely on? Do I need to repeat it? ?”

"Besides, in recent years, the land of Qingzhou has been in chaos. The salt officials set up by the imperial court are either colluding or unable to control the situation. In short, they are useless. This makes the families and businessmen who own the salt fields escape how much money they have turned over to the treasury. Taxes, if I want to check them one by one, how many people can survive?"

…………

Cao Ang didn't save any face in his words.

And it's not over yet.

After a slight pause for a few seconds, Mi Fang digested her words, and at the same time watched his complexion, which gradually became a bit dark.

Then he continued talking on his own.

"The general has already said that the past is not to be blamed. The previous accounts are written off, and they will not be touched again. This is already a great gift. It is really puzzling to think about making progress."

"Take the huge family property accumulated over the years to buy fields and land, and you can become a big landowner with fields and fields in one jump, saving decades of time and countless detours."

"If this is considered a difficult life and you need to give a way to survive, then I am afraid that if you ask the Han Dynasty, there will be countless people fighting for their heads and blood, and you must come to experience such a life."

The voice fell.

Mi Fang was completely silent.

He was really powerless to argue.

Whether it is presenting the facts or reasoning, it is difficult for him to refute and fight back on the bright side, because the facts are just like what Cao Ang said, and his side has no reason at all.

As for the dark side.

Then there is no need to talk about it.

When the matter progressed to this point, Mi Fang really wanted to get up and say goodbye to Cao Ang, so she just left, and she didn't care about other things anymore, and she felt relaxed.

But when he thought of the huge benefits promised to him by several big families such as the Li family in Huangxian County, as well as the worries about the spread of the policy of private salt transfers to officials.

Mi Fang decided to grit her teeth, bite the bullet, and give it a try anyway.
