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

“The imperial court will soon announce the implementation of tuntian, and it is inevitable that a large number of ploughshares will be acquired.”

“Zhangmu is the best wood village for making ploughs, and it will be in short supply in the near future, and the price will skyrocket.”

“I estimate that your five hundred camphor trees can earn at least three times the price.”

Cao Yuan also did not hang Xu Chu’s appetite, sipped fine wine, and made friends with Xu Chu.

“Tuntian?”

Xu Chu’s eyes widened, but he said, “Brother Cao, if it’s not an old brother, I don’t believe you, I want to ask, how can you be sure that the imperial court will definitely implement Tuntian?” ”

Cao Yuan smiled lightly, but said: “I estimate that in just a few days, the imperial court will announce that you can wait patiently for a few days.” ”

Xu Chu was hesitant, and when he asked again, Cao Yuan’s glass of wine was already stuffed in his hand.

“That’s right, Mei’er.”

Cao Yuan’s gaze turned to Ganmei again, and ordered: “You take a million money from the account room, and then build a larger warehouse, which must be able to hold at least 10,000 ploughshares, this time it must be built on the outskirts of Xudu, as remote as possible.” ”

With the lesson of the last granary, he naturally did not dare to make it convenient, so he built a small treasury next to the official warehouse.

“Gongzi, what are we doing building such a big warehouse?”

“What does this have to do with plowware?”

Ganmei fluttered her long eyelashes, and her pretty face was full of puzzlement.

Cao Yuan smiled and said, “Of course, it is used to make our Cao Sikong’s wool.” ”

Wool?

Cao Sikong?

Ganmei’s eyes flickered, and she was confused.

Xu Chu was also full of doubts, secretly worried: “This old brother Cao has always acted and spoken, he has always been mysterious and grotesque, what kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?” ”

“Mei’er, quickly go and prepare the wine and dishes, Gongzi, I will take the wind and wash the dust for Brother Zhongkang.”

“Old Xu, don’t stop drinking, let’s not get drunk tonight.”

…

Sifukong.

Cao Cao sat on the upper throne and stared at Guo Jia.

“Sikong, I have sent someone to check Cao Yuan’s details in detail.”

“This person is the Longqian clan of Qian County, and because of Yuan Shu’s calamity in Huainan, he followed his widowed mother Qin to the north to Xudu to avoid trouble, but his mother died of illness halfway through.”

Guo Jia explained the information obtained from the investigation.

“Long Kan, Qin Clan…”

Cao Cao seemed to evoke some memories and lost his mind for a while.

“After his mother died of illness, this Cao Yuan turned into a seller and found a position as a small official of the Cangling Order.”

“This person lives in seclusion, does not like to interact with his colleague Shangguan, in short, he seems to be an extremely mediocre person.”

Guo Jia continued.

Cao Cao’s eyes flickered, and a strange color swept over.

Spending money to buy an official position proves that this Cao Yuan wants to do something in his career.

He did not visit Shangguan and did not make friends with colleagues, and he lived in seclusion, which also showed that he was indifferent to fame and fortune and had no intention of making achievements in the officialdom.

Isn’t this a contradiction?

“This Cao Yuan, it’s really interesting…”

Cao Cao muttered, a meaningful smile flashing through his eyes.

Then.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Cao Cao’s thoughts.

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu entered one after another.

Xun Yu threw up his hands and said, “Sikong, the shortage of food and grass in our army, Yu discussed with Zhongde…”

“Wen Ruo, you came just in time.”

Cao Cao interrupted him and said with a smile: “I have thought of a solution to the shortage of food and grass. ”

Xun Yu was stunned, then asked, “I don’t know what means Sikong thought of?” ”

“Tuntian!”

Cao Cao held up two fingers.

“With the money of the imperial court, the agricultural tools were given to plow the cattle, and the displaced people were recruited to open up the land and settle the fields, and the grain was harvested, and the imperial court received six, and the people received four.”

“This is the only way to solve the shortage of food and grass in the short term.”

Cao Cao told Cao Yuan’s words to the two advisers in front of him intact.

Xun Yu’s figure was shocked, and he couldn’t help but glance at Cheng Yu, and the same strange color appeared on the faces of the two.

“Why, does Wen Ruo have any objections to my strategy of Tuntian?”

Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

“Of course not!”

Xun Yu quickly shook his head, but sighed: “Coincidentally, I thought hard with Zhongde for a few days, and just happened to come up with this strategy for the field, but I didn’t expect that Sikong had already thought of it, I was really ashamed.” ”

He complimented like this, but it made Cao Cao embarrassed, and he couldn’t help but glance at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia coughed a few times and sighed: “That Cao Yuan thought of this Tuntian strategy with his own wisdom, and this person’s intelligence is really extraordinary.” ”

“Well, this Cao Yuan is indeed a talent that can be used by me.”

Cao Cao stroked his thin hair and nodded slightly.

Xun Yu looked dazed and said curiously, “I don’t know who this Cao Yuan that Sikong said?” ”

“It’s just a small person, I’ll just talk about it casually.”

Cao Cao prevaricated.

After all, Cao Yuan had the stain of “stealing” official grain, and if he said it truthfully, it would inevitably cause slander from all the ministers.

Before the time was ripe, Cao Cao didn’t want to know too much about Cao Yuan’s existence, and Xun Yu was no exception.

Xun Yu didn’t care much either, and continued: “Since Sikong also approves of Tuntian, then we should implement it in Yingchuan as soon as possible, and instruct Yousi to build and acquire ploughshares.” ”

“Xun Wenruo’s words are reasonable.”

Cheng Yu agreed: “I estimate that the tuntian in Yingchuan County needs at least 30,000 to 40,000 plows, and the wood used must be the best camphor tree. ”

Zhongde reminded.

Cao Cao nodded heavily, flicked his hand, and said, “The matter of Tuntian will be entrusted to you and Wen Ruo to be solely responsible, money is not a problem, and it must be implemented as soon as possible.” ”

“No!”

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu led in unison.

“Bongxiao.”

Cao Cao turned to Guo Jia and lowered his voice: “You have a lot of eyes and ears, you have kept an eye on that Cao Yuan, and his every move must be under my control.” ”

“Ka knows what to do.”

Guo Jia handed over.

…

Two days later, Cao Cao issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven to officially implement Tuntian in Yingchuan County.

Under Xun Yu’s instructions, Xu Du and various government offices collected wood to make ploughs on the one hand, and purchased a large number of them from the people.

Within a month, the imperial court received 10,000 ploughshares.

Cao Cao also kept his promise and handed over the power to guard the plough warehouse to Cao Yuan in the name of the master bookkeeper.

…

Two months later, the first month of the second year of Jian’an.

Inside Xu Capital City, Cao Mansion.

“Brother Ziyou, you should really be a god.”

“The imperial court really promoted the tuntian and bought wood at a high price, and my five hundred camphor trees made 10 million money!”

Xu Chu closed his mouth with a smile, and gave a thumbs up to Cao Yuanlian, admiring in his mouth.

Cao Yuan smiled and said nothing, only taking a sip of wine.

Xu Chu patted him on the shoulder and said with a bold expression: “Brother Ziyou, you say, how much do you want to share in this windfall?” ”

“I don’t want any money.”

Cao Yuan put down his wine glass, but said, “I just want to ask Brother Zhongkang to lead my eighteen Yan Yunwei and protect me for a year.” ”

With 10 million dollars, Cao Yuan would not put it in his eyes.

He let Xu Chu make this windfall fortune, and his real purpose was naturally to value Xu Chu’s strong martial arts.

To put it bluntly, I want to accept Xu Chu as a bodyguard.

“No problem!”

“Follow Brother Xu to eat your meat, Mo said that for a year, it will not be a problem for me to protect you for a lifetime.”

Xu Chu did not hesitate and agreed happily.

Cao Yuan was completely relieved.

With Xu Chu by his side, plus Yan Yun’s eighteen horses, it was enough to run amok in the world.

Even if his greedy incident occurs in the future, and Cao Cao wants to cure him, he can calmly get out.

“Ding, the host stole 10,000 straight ploughs for a full month, gained 10,000 Quyuan plows, and received the reward ‘Easy Tendon Forging Bone Pill’.”

In my mind, the mechanical system prompt came as expected.
