Cao Thief

Chapter 588

Indeed, the top priority at the moment is the annexation of Lu's Han Kingdom.

Whether Lu's Han Kingdom can be attached to the imperial court also determines how much power Cao Cao will invest in the future battle of Youzhou against Yuan Xi.

Thirty thousand Goguryeo soldiers and horses may not sound like too much.

However, if they are really involved in the Youzhou battlefield, it is likely to affect the entire battle situation.

Once there is a stalemate, it may trigger a chain reaction in Xianbei, Bingzhou, Nanxiongnu, Karasuma, and even the entire Jizhou region.

Of course Cao Cao didn't want to get stuck with Yuan Xi. In his opinion, the battle against Youzhou must be successful in one battle, and it must not be procrastinated.For this reason, he almost mobilized the three prefectures of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, in order to quickly pacify them.So this battle must be successful.

"By the way, Lu Bu's daughter seems to be called... Lu Lan?"

"what?"

"That woman is not simple, she is known as Lu's female tiger in Sanhan.

When you can't tell, you have to go to some troubles.You have been recuperating in Bai Lan Jing She for the past two days, and I will keep you informed of the situation at any time. "

"Here!"

When Cao Cao was about to leave, Cao Peng suddenly asked, "Uncle, who is the envoy of Lu's Han Kingdom?"

Cao Cao paused, glanced at Cao Peng, sighed softly and said, "That's Gao Shun."

There is endless regret in the words.

Cao Peng knew that when Cao Cao besieged Lu Bu, he admired Gao Shun very much.He even made preparations to recruit Gao Shun to surrender, but he didn't want Cao Peng to get in the way. Gao Shun eventually followed Lu's family and went overseas to Sanhan to fight for the world.

That sigh also contained dissatisfaction with Cao Peng.

But Cao Peng was also a little helpless.

You old Cao is lustful, how could I entrust Lu Bu's family to you?Not to mention anything else, after you captured Xiapi, you clearly promised Guan Yu the wife of Lu Bubu, Qin Yilu's wife Du Shi.As a result, after your old man saw it, he took Dushi directly to his room.

There was also some conflict between Cao Cao and Guan Yu.

This thing really happened!
At least Cao Peng saw it with his own eyes...

Not only that, after Qin Yilu's death, Qin Yilu's son was also accepted by Cao Cao and treated as an adopted son.What is the child's name?Yes, Qin Lang!It seems to be eight years old now, and she is still living in Cao's mansion, and it is said that she is quite loved by Cao Cao.Speaking of which, Cao Cao is indeed good.Although he has an almost paranoid preference for wives, he is really kind to those adopted children.

Cao Zhen before, Qin Lang now...

It is said that when Cao Cao accepted Qin Lang as his son, he wanted to change Qin Lang's name.

As a result, the Du family resolutely refused, but Cao Cao did not object, and still let Qin Asu inherit his father Qin Yilu's surname.Qin Lang is eight years old, and Cao Cao is also looking for Mr. Enlightenment for him.But this time, Cao Peng was determined not to jump out.What Cao Chong did before made him more or less sad.Come to Xudu by yourself, Cao Chong doesn't know if Cao Peng doesn't believe it.Actually visit in the future.

He is ten years old!

It's time to be sensible...

In fact, Cao Peng wronged Cao Chong.

Cao Cao secretly recruited Cao Peng to return, and few people knew about it.

Even Cao Chong didn't know that Cao Peng had arrived in Xudu.The reason why Cao Zhi knew it was that he handled documents for Cao Cao on weekdays, and he also knew it inadvertently.Of course, Cao Zhi came to see Cao Peng with ulterior motives.So at the time of parting, Cao Zhi also asked Cao Cao: "Father, I wonder if the child can visit the Cao family brother?" "

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Of course."

Cao Zhi is willing to contact Cao Peng, but Cao Cao is more willing to see it.

Because he had discovered the estrangement between Cao Peng and Cao Chong.If Cao Chong was a child of an ordinary family, or if Cao Pi was alive, then Cao Cao might not object to the contact between Cao Peng and Cao Chong.But now, Cao Pi is dead, and Cao Cao has not yet made a decision on who will be his son.Therefore, he didn't want Cao Chong and Cao Peng to get too close.Because he was worried that Cao Peng would affect Cao Chong.

The greater Cao Peng's influence on Cao Chong, the easier it is for accidents to happen.

Cao Cao didn't want to ruin Cao Peng's life, but he also didn't want his heir to become Cao Peng's puppet in the future!
After all, Cao Chong and Cao Zhang are different in many ways.Cao Zhang is hot-blooded, impulsive, and very rebellious.So Cao Cao asked him to follow Cao Peng, hoping that Cao Zhang could get rid of these shortcomings.But Cao Chong, although young, has his own opinions.As for whether that idea is correct?Not important...wrong, can be corrected.After all, Cao Chong is small and malleable, far greater than an adult.

It is precisely because of this that when Cao Chong and Zhou Buyi approached, Cao Cao did not intervene.

Even if he knew that there were some problems in it.But he still didn't make a sound, just stood aside, silently observing.

It's just that he didn't think of it.

This kind of silence caused Mrs. Huan to misunderstand her.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not long after Cao Cao left, there was a slave outside the gate of Dianfu to report: "Guo Jijiu is here."

"Ah Fu, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you these two days. The military is busy, and it's not convenient to come and go... In a few days, we will go to Ye County. When the time comes, Lao San and I will wait for you in Ye County. You come to meet up. Hey, we two brothers, I will go to the front station for you."

When parting, Dianman and Xu Yi sent Cao Peng out.

Cao Peng nodded, bid farewell to the two, and walked out of the house.

Presumably Guo Jia has been staying in Sikong Mansion, otherwise it would be impossible to come here so soon.

Guo Jia poked his head out of the car and waved to Cao Peng.Without further ado, Cao Peng boarded the carriage, and then the curtain fell, and the carriage slowly moved along the street.

In the car, there is an oil lamp embedded in the wall of the compartment.

The oil bowl is deeply recessed, so you don't have to worry about it spilling out and causing a fire.

The light is not particularly bright, but it is very transparent.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Ah Fu, in the blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for almost a year."

Cao Peng stared at Guo Jia, but his expression was not good.

"That's right, you don't even need to show your face. My sister-in-law came a few times and took away nearly ten knives of deer pattern paper from me. I don't know who it fell into."

When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately showed embarrassment.

He laughed and argued, "This matter has nothing to do with me. Of the ten knives of deer-pattern paper, Wen Ruo took three knives, Gongda took two knives, and the remaining five knives, my lord. When I came to my house a few days ago, I forcibly took away two knives, even the Lengjin paper and Yuzi paper I bought myself. A lot of them were also taken away. Ah Fu, let’s discuss something... your deer paper paper , It’s really too expensive! I can’t buy much for a month’s salary. Can it be cheaper, so that everyone can be happy, so why not do it?”

"You are happy, I am not happy."

Cao Peng suddenly roared in a low voice: "Do you know how many deer pattern papers are there in my workshop?"

"This, this..."

Guo Jia suddenly felt a little regretful!
When Cao Peng opened the workshop, he sent someone to tell him that he could get [-]% of the shares if he was asked to pay [-] guan.

As a result, Guo Jia thought it was too little, and at the same time he really had no money left, so he refused.

Now it seems that a big miscalculation...

I thought that [-]% of the shares was not much, but seeing how busy the White Deer Paper Workshop was around the clock, I knew how prosperous it was.Fuzhilou's paper is rarely in stock for more than a month.But the amount of hard yellow paper and plain paper consumed by Taixue every day is astonishing.

A hundred pieces of plain paper are worth only [-] yuan.

Buy more, there are discounts.

I thought it wouldn't make much money to sell it, but now it seems that it is definitely making a lot of money every day.

The real money for Fuzhilou is not Luwen Jian, Leng Jin Jian and Yuzi Jian.It is precisely those yellow-dyed paper and plain paper that look extremely cheap that really make money.Secondly, those colored papers are loved by many scholars.Although the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was chaotic, it was also an era of flamboyant personality.The so-called strength of character in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, to a large extent, originated from the scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Use a unique color to represent your own personality, and of course no one will refuse.

For example, the Seven Sons of Jian'an... By the way, there is no such name yet, so let's call them the Seven Sons of Jian'an for now.Wang Can, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, is good at using green paper.Therefore, he specially sent people to the Fuzhi Building and spent a lot of money, expressing that he would make colored paper alone.

Wang Can's colored paper uses peony patterns.

Therefore, she got a nickname in Xudu, called: Aunt Qing.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a curse word.Peony is also known as Shugu, and Wang Can is good at using green paper, so she has the nickname Qingguzi.

There is also Chen Lin, who likes lotus flowers, but at the same time likes red by nature.

Therefore, I chose red paper with lotus pattern...

This kind of special paper may not be cheaper than deer pattern paper.But in terms of production process, it only needs to make patterned paper molds before it can be produced.And don't haggle...it's vulgar to talk about money.If you want to talk about your personality and your preferences, then don't be afraid to spend money.Customized paper starts at $[-].That is to say, Cao Peng only needs to use very little cost to pay the price of deer pattern paper.Those famous people have to come to beg you, otherwise they won't talk about it.Earning money from cultural people is sometimes as simple as that!Not to mention earning money from the extremely wealthy cultural people in their families.Using distinctive colored paper is not only taste, status, but also a display of personality.

Don't think you can buy it with money.

Those country gentry and local tyrants, even if they pay three times the price, don't even think about ordering in Fuzhilou.

Let Fuzhilou customize it for you, to some extent, it is the recognition of your status.

Even Guo Jia's wife, who never talked about Qian Bo and had a cold personality, blamed Guo Jia when she came back. Why didn't she agree?
Now, Guo Jia sent the money to Cao Peng, but Cao Peng might not pay attention.

Seeing Guo Jia heaving and sighing, Cao Peng felt particularly fulfilled.

Ghost!
What kind of achievement is it to make a ghost start to value money and silk?
"Come on, don't pretend to be with me... This is your dividend from Zhifang last year. It's a total of [-] coins. You just keep it... In the future, Xiao Yi will grow up and complain. As an uncle, I will get rich." Even his old man refuses to take it with you. Your five hundred guan is just a cover for your reputation. In the future, someone will say that I paid you off...As far as I am concerned, can I be short of your five hundred guan? "

Guo Jia was stunned.

From Cao Peng, he took a contract made of mulberry paper, which clearly stated: Guo Jia, a native of Yingyin, invested 22 guan to enter Bailu Zhifang.The share is one hundredth, and the dividend is settled on December [-] every year.The contract was made in triplicate, Zhifang and Guo Jia each held one copy, and the rest were reported to the government.This contract can be transferred and inherited until Guo Jia sells it voluntarily, and neither party can go back on his word.The covenants are Bailu Zhifang, Cao Peng, and Guo Jia from Yingyin.

On the back of the contract, there is also the seal of Xingyang prefect.

Along with the contract, there is also a piece of flying money.Guo Jia recognized at a glance that this was the new type of flying money issued by the Central Bank, which was the original bank established by Cao Peng and Chen Qun.It is made of Sangpifu paper, which is processed by special methods.As for the authenticity of the flying money, only the people from the Central Bank can tell.This kind of flying money is not circulated in the market and is mainly made for transactions.There are [-] coins written in seal script on the flying money, which should have the seal of the Central Bank Building.As long as Guo Jia is willing, he can exchange it at the Central Bank Building at any time.

Guo Jia stammered, "How can this be good, how can this be good... How about I give you the five hundred guan later?"

"Pooh!"

Cao Peng spat and ignored Guo Jia.

The net income of one or two thousand per year is undoubtedly a windfall for Guo Jia who cannot make ends meet all day long.

He was stunned for a while, and without being polite, he stuffed the flying money into his arms, lifted the curtain of the car and shouted to the outside: "Guo Ren."

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Hurry up and go back first, tell Madam, let her set out the food and drink. After I go back, I will have a drink with the guests."

Nima, it's too realistic.

It's a good deal, if I didn't have this flying money, I wouldn't even have a drink at your house?

Cao Peng couldn't help coughing violently, pointing at Guo Jia, unable to say a word for a long time...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
Bailan Jingshe is the name of the study in Guo Jia's mansion.

But in Xudu, many people know that this Bailan Jingshe represents Guo Jia's residence.

Cao Peng got off the car outside the corner gate of Guo Mansion, and walked into Guo Mansion together with Guo Jia.Guo Jia's mansion is not too big. It is about the same size as the mansion that Cao Hong sold to Cao Peng in the early years.However, the layout is very elegant, which makes people feel refreshed as soon as they walk in...

This is thanks to Mrs. Guo's methods.

Guo Jia's salary is not low, the army teacher sacrifices wine, adds riding as a captain, and pays homage to Weiyang Tinghou.There are so many things, including Cao Cao's rewards, after a year, there is also a salary of three or four thousand shi.It's just that this guy always enters with his left hand and exits with his right, and has no financial skills at all.If it wasn't for his wife's management, and the occasional support from friends like Xun Yu and Chen Qun, he might have starved to death long ago.

Cao Peng felt that Cao Cao's letting him live in Guo Jia's house was probably out of uneasiness and good intentions.

Among them, there may be no intention of asking him to support Guo Jia.

Today's Cao Youxue, if it is said that he is the second richest of Cao Cao's subordinates, no one dares to say that he is the richest...

No way, this product can make too much money!
At the beginning in Xudu, an old Xudu shabu-shabu was opened, which was making money every day.

Today, the old Xudu shabu-shabu has become a very special restaurant in Xudu.They have an advantage that others cannot have, that is, they can buy the cheapest lamb from Hexi.Every winter, Old Xudu Shabu Shabu becomes one of the most prosperous restaurants in Xudu City.No one dared to provoke him yet, and behind the restaurant, there were really too many big bosses that no one rushed to provoke.

The old Xudu restaurant is now under the name of Huang Chengyan.

Although Huang Chengyan has lived in Yingchuan for a long time and is not in Xudu, he has extraordinary influence...

Even Cao Cao respected Huang Chengyan when he saw Huang Chengyan, which shows his status.Not to mention, the other characters behind this restaurant.

Under Mrs. Guo's warm reception, Cao Peng washed up and sat down with Guo Jia.

He looked at Guo Jia, and asked with a smile: "Brother Guo, now you can say, what do you mean by pushing me out to be the prefect of Nanyang County?"

Three days in a row, three times [-], it can be considered an explosion.

I hope everyone can enjoy watching it, and after enjoying it, please support the monthly ticket! ! !
