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

Chapter 394: Cao Jie's Differential Treatment, the Emperor's Envoy Arrives in Jiangling
Liu Bei did not receive any courtesy from Luo Yuan. After listening to Luo Yuan's words, he felt disgusted.

Even if you want to give face to Kong Ming, why bother to say it?

Liu Bei smiled awkwardly: "The military advisor is me. I am one with the military advisor."

You are quite good at talking.

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "That's right. Then the emperor should go back and prepare first. When the emperor arrives, we can start selling goods."

Liu Bei was stunned. I just said less than two sentences and you let me go?
You really don't give me any face at all.

He smiled awkwardly and expressed that he would remember Luo Yuan's kindness and would repay him in the future.

I expect you to report?

Seize Jingzhou?

Luo Yuan saw Liu Bei out with a smile on his face, but turned back with a speechless expression.

I really don't want to receive Liu Bei. Although Cao Cao is cunning, he is still a real person who speaks his mind and does not play tricks.

Although Sun Quan was full of plans and worries but not decisive, he was respectful and had the demeanor of a nobleman when doing things.

As for Liu Bei, it’s hard to describe him in words, I can only say that his acting skills are superb.

Could it be that Lu Zhi is also an actor?
I have never heard of it myself.

Lu Zhi was a great scholar in literature, a capable commander of troops in martial arts, and had such a high status and position. Liu Bei, as Lu Zhi's disciple, was doing so poorly. Was he just an auditor and not an inner disciple?
Luo Yuan complained in his heart and felt that it was very likely.

He went back to find Cai Wenji and asked: "Wenji, have you heard about the story of Liu Huangshu becoming Lu Zhi's apprentice?"

"Ah..." Cai Wenji was confused. Why did I have to hear about it? "I don't know!"

Ok!

Considering Gongsun Zan's attitude towards Liu Bei, this disciple of Lu Zhi is very suspicious and is probably just an auditor.

"Why do you have such doubts, sir?"

"Just ask if you have time."

I just want to eat some melon and complain a little, I don't mean anything else.

Cai Wenji is now editing a book, and she exudes a feeling of "I want to write history and have a great responsibility."

With a mission to fulfill, his aura seems different.

"Husband, how do you think the Book of Han should be written?"

How would I know? You can write whatever you like. Anyway, the readers are future generations, and they will read whatever you write.

This is the power of the writer.

You have the final say.

"How about writing like the Historical Records?"

"Forget it, I'll just think about it myself. Husband, don't bother me and go find someone else."

What the hell?

You even gave up your husband to write a book.

"Husband, we haven't been intimate for a long time."

Cai Wenji was stunned and frowned, saying: "Writing is more important, my husband, please find someone else, the others are all free, my husband can ask Zhen Ji and Cao Jie to serve!"

I want to write a book and start a business, so get out of here.

Luo Yuan suddenly felt that this was no longer love.

Looking at Cai Wenji's frowning and serious expression, there was actually a hint of majesty in her.

Ok!

Luo Yuan went to find someone else.

I didn't expect everyone had something to do.

Zhen Ji was not at home, as she was busy running the shop. Sun Shangxiang took Zhong Yu to military training, and Cao Jie was also very busy, doing the accounts at home.

"Ajie, do you need your husband's help?" Cao Jie held an abacus in his hand and clattered it, while he moved his mouth and silently recited various formulas.

Then he took the brush and started to record. He pinched his fingers like a fortune teller and the multiplication formula came out of his mouth.

This is not what Luo Yuan taught Cao Ji.

The multiplication formulas were already known in the Qin Dynasty. Later generations who did archaeological research found that the multiplication formulas were unbelievable.

Cao Jie looked at Luo Yuan, who was almost done with his work, and put down his brush, "How can my husband have time? Today, it is not me, but Zhen Ji who should accompany my husband."

"There's no need to be so particular, everyone is the same!"

Cao Jie smiled slightly, and then said: "My husband, what other business can you do in Jiangling?"

"Isn't there a lot of business?"

"I'm talking about those businesses that can be done by the generals under my father. It's best if they are kept secret."

Are you guys so deeply involved?

Luo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few."

Luo Yuan and Cao Jie talked about it secretly. Cao Jie nodded with satisfaction, and then took some notes with a brush.

If the generals under Cao Cao wanted to open a branch in Jiangling, they certainly couldn't start a restaurant or some conspicuous business like weapons. The simplest thing to do was to open a mine.

Or secretly use half of a workshop to set up a processing plant.

Cao Jie said: "I have set up a family business for Cao Pi and several sisters, so that their lives will be easier in the future."

Because Boss Cao is a very frugal person, his children, despite their noble status, have enough food and clothing, but they don't really have much money.

Cao Jie is the eldest sister and has a mission, so she feels obligated to get some money for her younger brothers.

"No Cao Zhi?"

"Zijian is rich, and his father has given him many rewards, so he doesn't care about this!"

Luo Yuan chuckled and said, you are treating the one who made Cao Zhi unruly, talented and romantic, and not on good terms with Luo Yuan.

Cao Jie is a very principled person.

The largest trade between Jiangling and Cao Cao now is coal, and Jiangling is in urgent need of coal.

Cao Jie said, "Ma Chao should have coal, too. What do you think, husband?"

"What do you mean? Did Ma Chao follow your path?"

When Ma Chao arrived in Jiangling, Luo Yuan met him once. They drank and chatted together and nothing else was said. This guy was living a very happy life in Yunzhong.

However, compared with the Central Plains, Yunzhong is a very cold and bitter place, and the living conditions are extremely poor.

No problem, Ma Chao definitely needs help from Jiangling.

It’s just that Luo Yuan has been pretending to be dead.

Ma Chao took Cao Jie's approach, hoping to have a good talk with Luo Yuan.

"There is a horse in the clouds, and he is willing to exchange with us!"

"It's impossible to come over. Meng De will not allow the war horses to go south. If it is possible to trade, Meng De would have told me himself," Luo Yuan said, "I don't know Ma Chao because I know he is restless. He wants the weapons of Jiangling. He has gathered a lot of Hu people on the grassland as his subordinates."

Just like a grassland Chanyu!
Luo Yuan is annoyed by this scumbag Ma Chao. You are a general of the Han Dynasty after all, why do you have so many grassland people?

Protect them?
Cao Jie twitched her lips and pursed her lips and said, "My husband doesn't like the Hu people?"

"That's right. The best Hu people are the dead Hu people." Luo Yuan lay on Cao Jie's thigh. "Why am I willing to interact with Meng De? It's not because of anything else, but because Meng De killed Hu people in the north. The Xianbei and other tribes were controlled by him. However, the north is not as rich as the south. Meng De's strength is limited, so he cannot go north of the Great Wall."

"I asked Liu Bei and others to gather in Jiangling to form a cavalry to go north to guard the Great Wall and recover the Han territory. The Qiang, Hu, Xianbei, and Goguryeo have been restless in recent years. Gongsun Kang was attacking Goguryeo not long ago. This guy is quite interesting, but he has too many thoughts."

Luo Yuan said: "If there are 100,000 troops guarding the Great Wall, the north will probably be peaceful. When I unify the four seas in the future, I will go south and north, flatten the grasslands, and continue to open up the Western Regions. The prestige of our Han people will continue to spread far and wide. The Xiongnu must be eliminated. All the lands that the sun and the moon shine on are Han territory."

Cao Jie was shocked, these words were so touching, she held Luo Yuan's hand and kissed him: "My husband has great ambitions."

“It’s a must!”

Luo Yuan chuckled and was about to do something. Before he even took off his pants, he heard Xiong Ying say at the door, "My lord, the emperor's envoy has arrived."
