Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

That night, Cao Yuan and his entourage arrived in Fengcheng.

Half of the 100,000 pieces of cloth he brought with him went into the small treasury, and half was dumped at a low price.

Soon, nearly 50,000 pieces of cloth flowed into the counties of Xuzhou from various channels.

The linen cloth of the Mi family was sold for 2,000 yuan a horse, and Cao Yuan's 50,000 horses of linen were directly sold with tears, which was reduced by four times, and it could be taken away for 500 yuan.

Early summer is approaching, and it is the time to change summer clothes, and the demand for cloth has exploded.

Cao Yuan's batch of low-priced fabrics, as soon as they entered the Xuzhou market, they were immediately robbed.

The Mi family's cloth villages, located in various counties, quickly fell to the point of being cold and uncared for.

...

Xiaopei, county government.

Jian Yong was reporting on various military expenses.

Ordnance, grain and grass, horse fodder, and soldiers' salaries all cost money, and it was nearly 10 million dollars.

Liu Bei's fingers tapped his forehead, and his eyebrows were worried.

"Now that it is summer, the Mi family's cloth business will be able to make a lot of money, and the tens of millions of dollars are not to worry, and the lord is relaxed. "

Sun Qian smiled and said with relief.

Guan Yu also said: "Didn't Mi Zizhong say that his cloth business raised at least 50 million yuan of military funds for his brother, which is not only enough for this month's expenses, but also enough to recruit another 2,000 people." "

"You have a point. "

Liu Bei loosened his brows and said with emotion: "Fortunately, with the support of the Mi family, otherwise how could we feed so many soldiers and horses with just a small county." "

Zhang Fei said disapprovingly: "The Mi family subsidizes the eldest brother, and they don't fancy the eldest brother's Han family clan, and the identity of the hero in the world wants to bet on the eldest brother." "

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and coughed softly.

This kind of thing, I know it very well, why bother to put it on the table.

Zhang Fei closed his mouth at this time.

Sun Qian smiled and said: "Lord, in Qian's opinion, the marriage between the lord and Miss Mi should also be prepared." "

A gleam flashed in Liu Bei's eyes.

Earlier, Sun Qian offered him advice, and in order to entrap Mi Zhu, he persuaded Liu Bei to marry Mi Zhen, showing his favor to the Mi family by marriage.

Liu Bei's wife has been dead for more than a year, and there is a lack of a considerate wife around him to take care of food and daily life, and considering to appease the Mi family, he acquiesced to Sun Gan's proposal.

So Sun Qian volunteered to say goodbye to Mi Zhu as a matchmaker.

Mi Zhuzheng also had the heart to marry Liu Bei, and the two sides hit it off and finalized the marriage.

Now Sun Qian is just bringing up the old things.

Liu Bei stroked his short hair and sighed: "Now Cao Cao may use troops against Xiao Pei at any time, it is an eventful time, and it seems that the timing is not good to do marriage at this time." "

"It is precisely because Cao Cao will attack Xiaopei at any time that the lord needs to marry the daughter of the Mi family, so that the Mi family is loyal to the lord. "

Sun Qian lowered his voice and reminded playfully.

"Gongyu has a point. "

Guan Yu nodded and said: "The eldest brother married the Mi family and formed an in-law with the Mi family, so as to ensure that the Mi family gambled on his life, and he also had to support the great cause of the eldest brother Kuang Fu Sheji!"

"That's it, I'm looking forward to my eldest brother marrying a new sister-in-law, so that I can drink my eldest brother's happy wine!"

Zhang Fei also shouted.

His impatience drew a laugh from everyone.

Liu Bei said reluctantly: "Since this marriage is related to the great cause of Kuangfu Han family, and you are so hard to persuade each other, Gongyou, you and Mi Zizhong will agree on a good day and an auspicious day, and handle this marriage." "

Sun Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "The lord is wise, Qian, let's go to Mi's house." "

He jumped to his feet and was about to leave.

Before he went out, Mi Zhu was in a hurry and broke into the lobby.

"Lord, something is wrong!"

Mi Zhu's voice was hoarse, and he said with a solemn face.

"Something?"

Liu Bei suddenly became alert and asked, "What's wrong, Zizhong, you say it slowly." "

"In all counties and counties of Xuzhou, there were dozens of cloth farms overnight, and the price of the cloth sold was far lower than the market price several times. "

"The people of all the counties are flocking to buy these low-priced cloths, and no one cares about my Mi's cloth. "

"We haven't even sold a single piece of cloth in one month!"

Mi Zhu made a bitter face and said the big thing in his mouth.

There was an uproar in the hall.

Liu Bei looked stunned, and he hadn't turned a corner for a while.

Sun Qian exclaimed: "The price is several times lower than the market price, isn't this selling cloth at a loss, who would do such a damaging business and not benefiting oneself?"

"Yes, who would be so stupid, making money at a loss, not afraid of losing all their money!"

Zhang Fei also questioned.

Liu Bei came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "Zizhong, can you find out, who is selling these low-priced cloths?"

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "Zhu sent people to follow the vine to find out that these cloths were flowing from Fengcheng into Xuzhou, and after several spying, they found that the person behind the scenes was actually that Cao Yuan!"

Cao Yuan.

This name sounded in Liu Beijunchen's ears again.

"It's this Cao Yuan again!"

Liu Bei's brows furrowed, and deep disgust swept in his eyes.

Of course, he will not forget that it was this little official who abducted the maidservant Gan who was originally going to be dedicated to him by the Mi family.

A few months ago, this little official bought 200,000 Shijing salt out of nowhere, and single-handedly smashed his wishful thinking of using high-priced sea salt to scrape a large amount of military funds from Cao Cao.

Now, this hateful little official has appeared in Fengcheng again.

actually dumped cloth at a low price in Xuzhou, so that the Mi family's cloth was unwanted, and there was no way to raise military funds for him!

"This surnamed Cao, what does he want to do, he is full of food, does he have to harm others and himself?"

Zhang Fei jumped up and scolded angrily.

Sun Qian's eyes rolled, and he suddenly reacted.

"Lord, then Cao Yuan must have been ordered by Cao Thief to deliberately dump low-priced cloth in my Xuzhou, the purpose is to make the Mi family's cloth unsellable, and to cut off the lord's salary!"

Sun Qian's expression was heavy, and he broke through the mystery.

Liu Bei suddenly realized, couldn't help but take a few shots, gritted his teeth and said: "What a Cao thief, he actually came up with such a poisonous plan!"

Sun Qian sighed: "Although this plan is poisonous, it can weaken our soldiers and horses without eliminating a single soldier, I have to say that it is a clever plan, and I don't know who sacrificed it to Cao Thief." "

Everyone couldn't guess for a while.

"Lord, could it be the rumored means of the conspirator behind Cao Mengde?"

Zhao Yun, who had been silent, suddenly guessed.

Liu Bei shuddered, and said in a deep voice: "Zilong is reasonable, this poisonous plan is most likely done by that person, I don't know where that person is, why do you want to help the abuse, but to assist the Cao thief!"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up with hatred.

"No matter who the scheming man is, if we continue like this, we will lose our money, don't say that we can recruit troops and buy horses, and we can't even afford to support the 6,000 soldiers and horses on hand!"

"When Cao Cao's army comes to attack, what will we use to resist?"

Sun Qian's face was worried.

Liu Bei's body was shocked, and he fell into silence, but he was helpless.

"What's so worrying about this!"

Zhang Fei jumped up and shouted: "Please give the order of the eldest brother, I will lead a team of people to sneak into Fengcheng and burn the cloth of Cao Yuan, I will see how he will continue to dump at a low price!"
