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

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

Half of the 100,000 horses of cloth brought with him were smuggled into small treasuries, and half were dumped at low prices.

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

The Mi family’s sackcloth was sold for 2,000 cents a horse, and Cao Yuan’s 50,000 sackcloth was directly sold in tears, and it was reduced by four times, and five hundred dollars could be taken away.

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

As soon as Cao Yuan’s low-priced cloth entered the Xuzhou market, he was immediately robbed.

The Mi family’s Buzhuang, which is located in various counties, quickly degenerated to the point where the door court was cold and no one cared.

…

Xiaopei, the county capital.

Jian Yong is reporting various military expenses.

Ordnance, grain and grass, fodder for war horses, and soldiers’ salaries all cost money, and nearly 10 million dollars in expenses.

Liu Bei nodded his forehead with his fingers, frowning.

“Now that summer has begun, the Mi family’s cloth business will definitely make a lot of money, and tens of millions of dollars are not enough to worry about, 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 dollars for his brother, which is not only enough for this month’s expenses, but also enough to recruit another 2,000 people.” ”

“It makes sense.”

Liu Bei’s eyebrows only loosened, and he sighed: “Fortunately, with the support of the Mi family, otherwise how could we feed so many soldiers and horses in Xiaopei County.” ”

Zhang Fei said disapprovingly: “The Mi family sponsors the eldest brother, but it is not fancy the eldest brother Han family clan relatives, the identity of the hero in the world, and wants to bet on the eldest brother.” ”

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and hinted softly.

This kind of thing, knowing it, is why put it on the table.

Zhang Fei then closed his mouth.

Sun Qian smiled and said, “Lord, in Qian’s opinion, the marriage between the lord and Miss Mi family should also be prepared.” ”

A fine light flashed in Liu Bei’s eyes.

Earlier, Sun Qian offered him a plan, in order to win over Mi Zhu, persuaded Liu Bei to marry Mi Zhen, showing his favor to the Mi family by marriage.

Liu Beizheng’s wife had been dead for more than a year, and there was a lack of a considerate wife to take care of food and living, and considering appeasing the Mi family, he acquiesced to Sun Qian’s proposal.

So Sun Qian volunteered to kiss Mi Zhu as a matchmaker.

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

Now Sun Qian is just a rehash of the old matter.

Liu Bei held his short hair and sighed: “Now that Cao Cao may use troops against Xiaopei at any time, it is an eventful time, and it seems that the timing of the marriage at this time is not very good.” ”

“It is precisely because Cao Cao will attack Xiaopei at any time that the lord needs to marry the Mi family even more, so that the Mi family is loyal to the lord.”

Sun Qian lowered his voice and reminded playfully with his eyes.

“Gong Yu is right.”

Guan Yu nodded and said, “The eldest brother marries the Mi family and forms an in-law with the Mi family, in order to ensure that the Mi family gambles with their lives, and also supports the great cause of the eldest brother Kuang Fu Sheji!” ”

“That’s it, I have long been 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 caused everyone to laugh.

Liu Bei said reluctantly: “Since this marriage is related to the great cause of Kuang Fu Han Family, and you are so bitterly persuaded, Gongyou, you and Mi Zizhong will agree on an auspicious day and arrange this marriage.” ”

Sun Qian was overjoyed and said busily: “Lord Gong Yingming, Qian will go to Mi’s house.” ”

As soon as he jumped up, he was about to leave.

Before he went out, Mi Zhu hurried and broke into the lobby.

“Master, something happened!”

Mi Zhu’s voice was hoarse and solemn.

“Accident?”

Liu Bei suddenly became alert and asked, “What happened, Zizhong, you say slowly.” ”

“In all counties and counties in Xuzhou, dozens of cloth shops were added overnight, and the price of the cloth sold was several times lower than the market price.”

“The people of all the counties rushed to buy these low-priced cloths, and no one cared about my Mi’s cloth.”

“In one month, we haven’t sold a single horse of cloth!”

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 didn’t turn 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 disadvantageous transaction?” ”

“Yes, who would be so stupid, make money at a loss, and not be afraid of losing 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 handed over his hand: “Zhu sent people to follow the vine to find out that these cloths flowed into Xuzhou from Fengcheng, and after several spies, 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 condensed, and deep disgust flashed in his eyes.

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

A few months ago, it was this little official who changed 200,000 Shijing salt from nowhere, and single-handedly shattered his wishful calculation of using high-priced sea salt to scrape a sum of military funds from Cao Cao.

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

Unexpectedly dumped cloth at a low price in Xuzhou, so that the Mi family’s cloth was not cared for, and there was no way to raise military funds for him!

“This surnamed Cao, what does he want to do, he has enough to eat, does he have to harm others and harm himself?”

Zhang Fei jumped up and cursed angrily.

Sun Qian’s eyes rolled and he reacted suddenly.

“Lord, then Cao Yuan must have been ordered by Cao Thief to deliberately dump low-priced cloth into my Xuzhou, the purpose is to make the Mi family’s cloth unable to sell, and want to cut off the lord’s money!”

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

Liu Bei suddenly realized, and couldn’t help but shoot a few times, gritting his teeth and saying: “What a Cao thief, he actually came up with such a poisonous scheme!” ”

Sun Qian sighed: “Although this plan is poisonous, it can weaken our soldiers and horses without 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, is it also the rumored means of the conspirator behind Cao Mengde?”

Zhao Yun, who had been silent, suddenly guessed.

Liu Bei shivered, and said in a deep voice: “Zilong’s words are reasonable, this poisonous scheme is probably the work of that person, I don’t know who that person is, why he wants to help the abuse, but to assist Cao Thief!” ”

Liu Bei’s eyes lit up with hatred.

“Let’s not care who that conspirator is, if it goes on like this, we will run out of money, Mo said that recruiting troops and horses, even the six thousand soldiers and horses on hand will not be able to feed!”

“When Cao Cao’s army comes to attack, what will we use to resist?”

Sun Qian looked worried.

Liu Bei’s figure was shocked and fell into silence, but he was helpless.

“What’s so sad about this!”

Zhang Fei jumped up and shouted: “Please big brother order, I will lead a team of men and horses to sneak into Fengcheng, and set fire to that Cao Yuan’s cloth, I see how he continues to dump at a low price!” ”
