The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 313: Cao's big purchases make him feel bad and embarrassed, and the coin casting conspiracy is unsolvable

"So you want to buy some?"

"Make it yourself!" Xun Yu felt that this thing was so simple that he could learn it at a glance, so why bother buying it.

Then he asked a craftsman to make it, but he was so confused that he couldn't finish it for three days.

The abacus looks simple, but it is not easy to make it and make it useful. How can you make the beads the same size?

The craftsmen on Cao Cao's side only knew how to use traditional methods, using knives to carve.

You also have to drill holes, one by one.

Fish glue is also needed for bonding!
After seven days, he saw that only two were made, and the abacus was not as exquisite and beautiful as Luo Yuan's. Xun Yu calculated the cost and was immediately discouraged.

In seven days, a craftsman can make more than a dozen knives, but he can only make two abacuses!
Crazy!
"My lord, please buy it!" Xun Yu lay down directly

I won't do it anymore. I can't afford the cost. An abacus Luoyuan only costs 500 coins, not even as expensive as a piece of paper. The main point is small profits but quick turnover!

Even so, he can still make a profit.

.

Jiangling has extremely rich hydropower resources thanks to the Yangtze River. Inspired by Luo Yuan, the great craftsman Liu Guangda remembered his childhood inspiration and directly used water power to build a lathe. It is very useful for grinding beads and can also process firewood. The water power drives the gears and is equipped with a special circular saw lever to process firewood.

The Qin Dynasty was able to produce standard parts for assembly lines, but Luo Yuan felt that Jiangling's processing capabilities were still inferior to those of the Qin Dynasty.

What a charming ancestor.

Xun Yu gave up trying and chose to lie down, then he signed a contract with Cao Jie to purchase a large amount of goods, including white paper from Jiangling, as well as porcelain, craftsmen, and medicines.

Seeing Xun Yu purchasing porcelain, Cao Cao's face trembled: "We have porcelain!"

No need to purchase and cook it yourself!
Xun Yu said that the purchased porcelain was mainly for Cao Cao to use to reward his subordinates in the future. Jiangling porcelain was exquisite, and they were all practical daily necessities.

The porcelains made by Cao Cao are of limited quality and are mainly used for viewing and display. This is the same.

This time when Cao Jie returned to her parents' home, she brought with her a lot of high-end tea sets, all of which were porcelain with paintings on them. Could such products be made in Yecheng?

It is elegant for scholars to drink tea with such porcelain. And tea from Jiangling must also be purchased.

Of course Xun Yu was not polite since it was the boss's money.

"Luo Gongqi is such a black-hearted man, he is trying to make money from me!" Cao Cao was unwilling to accept this. He was so poor that he had to ask the tomb robbers to dig up the Han tombs.

Luo Yuan also sucked his blood like a vampire.
.
This is making dead money.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "My lord, the flow and exchange of money will benefit both us and Jiangling. The people will also become richer in the process!"

Cao Jie took a look at Xun Yu and found that he was indeed very capable. What his husband said was very similar. It was a pity that her husband was a traitor, otherwise she would really like to recruit Xun Yu.

"My Lord, although we have purchased many things from Jiangling, Jiangling will also purchase our things, such as food, iron ore, copper ore, gold, silver, and other things.
Cao Cao understood everything, but this time he bought a lot of things from Luo Yuan, but Luo Yuan bought too few things from him, especially his Cao Cao brand porcelain!

Luo Yuan didn't buy any of them. Doesn't Luo Yuan need any decorative porcelain?

"Ajie, buy some porcelain," Cao Cao looked at Cao Jie eagerly.

Cao Jie shook his head: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it!"

Each piece of Cao's porcelain costs one million coins. It's like a joke. One million coins can fill a cart in Jiangling.

“Luo Yuan has money, why bother, just buy some!”

"Father, are you going to force me to buy or sell?" Seeing Cao Cao's firm tone, Cao Jie argued: "How can we do business like this!" "You bought too little, I feel I'm at a disadvantage!"

"Can you blame me? It's because the products under my father's jurisdiction are insufficient. If there were more products, I would be willing to buy them. I hope my father can produce well next year."

So angry!
He was despised by his own daughter and lost a lot of money.

Seeing Cao Cao sulking, Cao Jie took out a bag filled with coins, including gold, silver and copper, and said, "If father is willing to pay with this kind of currency, I can give you another discount!"

Xun Yu and Cao Cao were both smart men. They immediately refused the fine coins produced by Luo Yuan when they saw them.

You're dreaming if you want to harvest us!
Cao Jie sighed and said, "My husband wants to carve his portrait on the coin. Doesn't father want to do that? If the people can see your portrait every day..."

Cao Jie blinked and thought to himself, “Just imagine that scene. Isn’t it beautiful?”

"And you can make a profit from minting coins!"

That's okay.

Cao Cao touched Luo Yuan’s portrait on the gold coin and said, Damn it, why isn’t it my portrait?
He was also aware that he had a bad reputation among the people, and having his portrait cast on coins was a great idea; ordinary people could see his portrait every day.

Will it make you have a better impression of yourself? Of course!
One Luo Yuan is equal to two emperors.

Luo Yuan’s portrait was printed on a gold coin worth one hundred, while the emperor’s was printed on a gold coin worth fifty.

Xun Yu saw Cao Cao's heart was moved, and immediately became anxious: "My lord, don't fall into Luo Yuan's trap. If we use Luo Yuan's money, we will be controlled by others in the future. Are the things of Luo Gongqi so difficult to obtain?"

Cao Cao suddenly reacted and realized that Luo Yuan was a black-hearted person and would never let others take advantage of him.

Cao Cao looked at the gold coin with regret and put it back.

Seeing this, Cao Jie smiled and said, "Father, are you unwilling? Jiangling can print your father's portrait on the coin, just like your husband, and it will also be worth 100 gold coins."

One Cao Cao is equal to two emperors.

Cao Cao picked up the gold coin again, and Xun Yu quickly reached out and held Cao Cao's hand: "My lord, be careful of being tricked!"

"How do you think Luo Yuan will plot against me?"

It felt like Luo Yuan was definitely planning something, but Xun Yu couldn't put it into words. But because he could tell, Xun Yu felt that Luo Yuan's plan this time must be terrifying.

"I can't say, but my lord, do you think Luo Yuan is someone who can benefit others? If he gives others a little benefit, he will definitely take back ten times, unless we make it ourselves."

Since Luo Yuan has the right to mint coins himself, he will not be able to plot against them.

Cao Cao nodded happily. This was a good idea. He looked at Cao Jie and said, "We will build it ourselves. Don't try to plot against me this way!"

Cao Jie rolled his eyes and looked at Xun Yu and said, "Jiangling mints coins. For example, this gold coin only costs ten copper coins."

What!
Xun Yu was dumbfounded: "How can it be so cheap? Are you kidding me?"

This is no joke.

Cao Jie didn't know exactly how much it cost, but Luo Yuan said that there was still a profit, so he couldn't be wrong, so he said, "Believe it or not, anyway, the cost of minting coins in Jiangling is just this much."

My husband is awesome so there is no need for explanation. Let my father and Xun Yu discuss it themselves.

Using the New Year's coin not only allows you to get the benefits of minting coins, but also offers discounts on purchases. If you use the Han Dynasty's Wuzhu coins, you will lose these benefits.
