People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 491 Don’t Mention the Past

"No matter what, we can't have any problems here. We must strictly control the quality of our products. If the quality is not good, we can't just give up even if we have all the products in our hands!"

Fu Xie picked up the cloth, looked at it left and right, and even pulled it to test its toughness. He put it back only after confirming that it was of solid quality. Then he started to check samples from other places.

In fact, even if Fu Xie did not explain, Cao Pi understood the seriousness of the situation.

As long as the Yellow Turban Army wins the bid, it will be a guaranteed profit, but the prerequisite is to ensure quality. Once the situation of bribing military supplies and passing inferior goods off as good ones as Fu Xie mentioned occurs, the consequence they will face will not be the government's judgment, but the military law.

The consequences of such things are very serious. If they are not strictly controlled and not discovered, the soldiers will find out during the battle that their armor and weapons are not durable. The consequences may even be the loss of a war or even the loss of the entire country.

Since it is a matter of military law, it must be harsh and punishing, so losing one's head is not worth making a fuss about.

Cao Pi stood at the back and couldn't help shaking his head. "These people are greedy and deserve to die. Since they have a precedent, how can I follow in their footsteps? With me here, I can definitely ensure that the product fully meets the delivery standards."

After looking around for a while, Fu Xie did not find any problems during the random inspection, and he was indeed relieved. After putting the cloth in his hand back, he glanced at Cao Pi.

To be honest, he was not completely confident in Cao Pi. After all, he was an outsider, and there was no guarantee that Cao Pi would deceive his superiors and subordinates and do something reckless.

Money is not the most important thing. The key is not to ruin the army.

However, Cao Pi had been here for several months, and he had been secretly observing Cao Pi for several months. It must be said that Cao Pi did a very good job, saving himself a lot of energy and with almost no mistakes.

It can only be said that Liu Xie's momentary sympathy does not seem to be a bad thing now, as the son of the Cao family is an elite talent.

"Tomorrow, the Yellow Turbans will set out for the war. Although our production in the rear is not urgent, it is better to speed it up. I think this production task can be completed in ten days or half a month. Tell the workers that even if it is hard during this period, they must ensure that the work is done well. After this batch of products is delivered, all workers will get bonuses and vacations!"

Fu Xie glanced at the busy workers, smiled, and gave an order.

Upon hearing this, Cao Pi quickly agreed and the work pressure in his heart was relieved a lot. With such encouragement, the workers would definitely be motivated to work more enthusiastically.

Fu Xie did not stay here for too long, because he wanted to see more than one factory.

Taking on the order from the Yellow Turban Army this time really made a fortune for themselves and Liu Xie. They took this opportunity to directly expand the scale of production, and after the delivery was completed, they could go even further.

In today's market conditions, it is indeed not difficult to do business.

In fact, not only Fu Xie and Liu Xie felt so, but Cao Pi also felt the same way.

After a day's work, Cao Pi brought some food from the vegetable market and walked slowly back home. Along the way, he kept his head down and thought silently, wondering when he could save up some capital to start his own business.

Although he was very grateful for Liu Xie's timely help, this was ultimately just working for others, and he was unwilling to live like this for the rest of his life.

Especially after working for a few months, he clearly felt that there were opportunities everywhere in Xuanxia now, and he could make money no matter what he did, which further stimulated his inner restlessness. With his own ability, as long as he had some capital, it was not a dream to make a fortune.

Cao Pi was confident, but when he thought of the whole family waiting for him, he couldn't help sighing. Although the situation was better now, it could only allow the whole family to live a more comfortable and decent life. It was still not enough to accumulate capital.

His thinking made him ignore the noisy and chaotic external environment, until he suddenly felt his clothes being pulled, and he came to his senses.

When he looked again, it was his younger brother Cao Zhi who had just become a teenager.

Cao Pi frowned and asked: "Why are you here?"

Cao Zhi seemed to be in a good mood, and he chuckled as he spoke: "The Yellow Turbans are going to war tomorrow, and most of the people in the city are preparing to see them off, but they are looking for someone to write for the banners. I wanted to earn some extra money, so I showed off my calligraphy skills, and they were really surprised."

After saying this, Cao Zhi proudly raised the small stack of money in his hand, his joy was visibly evident.

Cao Pi nodded when he heard this. Although there were many literate people in Xuanxia nowadays, when it came to calligraphy, these scholars were far behind the traditional scholars. Cao Zhi's level was completely overwhelming, so it was no surprise that people were impressed by him.

Only then did he notice the hustle and bustle on the street.

Just as Cao Zhi said, the people of the entire capital city spontaneously prepared to send off the Yellow Turbans to the battlefield tomorrow. Shops along the way all hung up colored paper, making the whole road look colorful. Banners could be seen hanging every few steps, most of which contained words of celebration and blessing.

Many vendors and shops also distribute candies to the dolls along the way, and as long as the dolls say something cute, they will give them a candy.

And these pleasing words were not about the family's prosperous business and all the best, but words like "Xuan Xia will win, long live the Yellow Turbans, and Master Xu is mighty."

Whenever the ignorant children shouted out under enticement, they always made the adults around them laugh.

Not only that, even the little girls who went out today were mostly dressed up a little, and just walking on the street made the air more joyful.

The atmosphere was full of joy everywhere. Cao Pi stopped unconsciously. He felt inexplicably sad and envious. He had never seen such a scene in his entire life.

Not to mention the Wei Kingdom, even the former Han Empire could not gain such support from the people.

It was only the day before the Yellow Turbans set out on their expedition, and it was already so lively and festive. Cao Pi didn't even dare to imagine what the scene would be like tomorrow. If the Yellow Turbans won a great victory in this battle, unified the world, and returned to the capital, wouldn't all these people be so happy that they would go crazy?

"Brother, it's not unfair that our Wei Kingdom lost. How could such a Yellow Turban lose?" Even Cao Zhi on the side couldn't help but sigh. If someone didn't know the scene in front of him, they might think it was some festival.

Cao Pi frowned when he heard this: "What did I tell you? Don't mention the past here. There is no Wei Kingdom, and there is no Cao Family anymore!"

The stern voice made Cao Zhi shrink his neck. His eyes showed a little aggrieved, but he could only remain silent.

Yes, there is no Wei State anymore, and there is no Cao Family anymore. They have already changed their names and surnames.
Their story also ended completely with the demise of the Cao family.
