Looking at Cao Ren who was in a daze, Guo Jia said kindly: "What happened to General Cao? Are you worried that if you exchange it like this, your prime minister will not give you enough gold to exchange for all the difference, and you will have to fill the hole yourself?" If so, it¡¯s no big deal. Anyway, the amount is not big and I can definitely afford it. When you go back, you can report the truth to Prime Minister Cao. Then you can ask Prime Minister Cao for 900,000 yuan based on the parity of our Youzhou gold. Then you only need to transport 800,000 taels of gold, and I will privately exchange 9 million yuan of banknotes for you for 800,000 taels of gold. All the losses in the middle will be mine. Anyway, General Cao, you can do it for me. I have such a big relationship. I can't let you, General Cao, suffer." Cao Ren, who was originally in a daze, seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and he was a little sluggish at the time.
"General Cao? General Cao?" The calls finally made Cao Ren somewhat sober. Cao Ren asked as if he didn't know Guo Jia: "Are you Guo Jia?" Guo Jia was secretly afraid: Could it be that his continuous stimulation was too much and made this guy stupid? If this is the case, wouldn't the painstaking efforts of the lord and himself be in vain? How can you keep Cao Cao in the dark? but. This is not right either. Wasn't this guy doing well just now? And his last words were all meant to enlighten him. Why is there still a problem? However, while Guo Jia was worried, he also had some expectations and excitement. This is a good opportunity to study the limits of a person's psychological endurance.
Guo Jia made a quick analysis and decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Don't alarm Hua Tuo first, let's see what kind of development and result Cao Ren will have. So Guo Jia said very sincerely: "Yes. General Cao. I am Guo Jia." "Are you Guo Jia, the Zuo Military Advisor under Liu Taiwei?" Cao Ren confirmed again. "Exactly." Guo Jia also responded without hesitation. "Aha!" Cao Ren exclaimed. Guo Jia's heart trembled: It's broken. It seems something is wrong.
At this time, Cao Ren's eyes radiated with a strange look, looking straight at Guo Jia. Even a bold guy like Guo Jiaru couldn't help but tremble. "Bang!" Cao Ren suddenly grabbed Guo Jiade's wrist. He chuckled. Time-tested. Know too many dirty hooks. Local Guo Jia immediately thought of a bad idea. At that time, I had goosebumps all over my body. Guo Jia tremblingly shouted: "General Cao doesn't want it."
"Hey! What don't you want? Now you are in my hands. It's too late to say anything." Cao Ren looked at Guo Jia with a lewd smile and said. Guo Jia was even more frightened and said to Cao Ren tremblingly: "General Cao, please respect yourself. I am not a good man. If the general comes to force me, I would rather die than be humiliated." "Get out!" Cao Ren finally understood what Guo Jia said. What's up. Cao Ren was disgusted to death at that time. Guo Jia was thrown away in one fell swoop.
Guo Jia felt much better immediately after being freed from Cao Rende's control. At the same time, he also knew that he had misunderstood Cao Ren. But when Guo Jia looked at Cao Ren's disgusting look, he couldn't help but think: This seems to be a good way to force a confession. If you have a chance, you should find someone to try it. Cao Ren has calmed down a little. Pointing at Guo Jia, he scolded: "You are so dirty in your heart. Who do you think this general is?" Guo Jia apologized awkwardly and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Complete misunderstanding. It's just that the general's behavior just now was too abnormal. I was confused for a moment."
Cao Ren took a deep breath to calm down his mood. Cao Ren secretly reminded himself: To be calm, you must be calm. This kid finally let it slip. Allow yourself to catch the horse's foot. This opportunity must not be missed. You must keep him firmly in your hands. But I'm not busy now, waiting for everything to be confirmed. Until then, let¡¯s see how capable he is and whether he can still serve our Meng De obediently.
Thinking of this. Cao Ren completely calmed down and looked at Guo Jia and said: "Commander Guo. Since you regard me as one of your own, I won't hide it from you. When I came, my prime minister had already arranged for me the bottom line of the peace talks. Qingzhou will be transferred to you. That is my biggest bargaining chip. But now that you have taken it yourself, of course it does not count. However, other than that, I have no greater benefits for you. Your agreement Ten thousand shi of military rations is okay, but 900,000 taels of gold is absolutely impossible. Let alone 900,000 taels of gold. Even 10,000 taels of gold. Even my Prime Minister cannot afford it. . If I go back with this agreement, I will be dead. Military Advisor Guo still has to think of something to do about this."
Guo Jia was a little stunned. Guo Jia secretly wondered: What happened to this Cao Ren? Why did he suddenly wake up and become tougher? Originally, it would not be a big deal if they were exempted from some exemptions. Anyway, the purpose of the lord and himself is not in these properties. But if this was his strategy to test himself, wouldn't he fall into a trap? It's better to give him a tough try first and see when the opportunity comes.
Concerned about this, Guo Jia smiled and said: "General Cao, there is nothing to worry about. There is a private agreement between the two of us. As long as you take this contract back and let Prime Minister Cao know about it. If Prime Minister Cao punishes you at that time, you,Just come to me. If you are afraid that you will not be able to escape after meeting Prime Minister Cao. You can also take this agreement to Yanzhou and ask anyone to bring it to Prime Minister Cao. Then you run right back. Guarantee that your life is not in danger. Anyway, as long as Prime Minister Cao unilaterally tears up the contract, I can also instigate my lord to send troops to pacify the Central Plains. By then we will still be able to complete the great cause of unifying the world. I'm here to protect you, a high-ranking official, so you can be a good horse and ride on it. What else do you have to worry about? "
Cao Ren cursed in his heart: He is really a villain who is afraid of chaos in the world. but. On the surface, Cao Ren said calmly and coldly: "Commander Guo's words are wrong. Although I can get away by doing this, my whole family is in Xudu. How can they get away with it? What if Guo Ren The military advisor can't relieve my worries. Then our previous agreement will be cancelled. I will make it clear to you personally, Mr. Taiwei. I think Mr. Taiwei is a sensible person and will not go out of his way to make things difficult for me. But by then, I'm afraid I will I can't care about you anymore. You ignored the common people's delusional desire to start a war and embezzled huge amounts of money. I'm afraid it's hard to avoid letting Lord Taiwei know about it. Although I don't know what your criminal law is in Youzhou. But what Liu Bei said about corruption is that you It's a serious crime in Youzhou. Even if you are an important minister of Lord Taiwei, the amount of nine hundred thousand taels of gold is probably not in the treasury of my Prime Minister. I don't think your Lord Taiwei will let it go easily. Let¡¯s get over you!¡±
Only then did Guo Jia understand the reason for Cao Ren's weird behavior just now: he dared to fall in love with this Cao Ren. I was scared because I said I could easily come up with nine million yuan. And he also thought he had caught the handle of his corruption. Guo Jia is so depressed. What an injustice! What an injustice. My small money has scared you Cao Ren. You guys are too new to the world, aren't you? Who do I think I am in Youzhou with this little money? Even if the lord is not included. With my little money, I can¡¯t even rank among the top ten in Youzhou. Which one of the lord's father-in-law and Mr. Hua doesn't take advantage of me? If you knew about my lord's wealth, wouldn't it scare you to death?
However, Guo Jia also had an idea and felt that this was also an opportunity! You can use this to maintain a long-term contact with Cao Cao. Facilitate the implementation of some strategies. So Guo Jia immediately said in fear and fear: "Cao Ren, I regard you as one of my own, but you threaten me like this. You are so meaningless! I tell you, your tricks are useless. There are only two of us here. No one can testify for you about what I just said, and I will not admit it. My property belongs to my family, and with the strength of my family, it is not surprising that I have so much money. My family is too Mr. Wei will not do anything to me because of this. Just give up on this."
Cao Ren¡¯s words to Guo Jia were also somewhat vague. The energy of a big family is immeasurable. If the Guo Jiadi family is really powerful and has so much money, it would be nothing new. He was the one making the fuss. However, Cao Ren heard Guo Jiana being harsh. But there was a somewhat guilty voice. Cao Ren strengthened his belief. Cao Ren secretly thought: The worst thing about this is just a fight. Anyway, this Guo Jia is always thinking about starting a war. If you can't catch him. Then he must be the biggest obstacle for Meng De to show his strength. Even if you make a mistake, it's not worth it if you completely offend him. And Liu Bin also said that all it takes is meaning. If he met Liu Bin, apart from the immediate loss, he would definitely not have to eat.
Having made up his mind, Cao Ren looked at Guo Jia coldly and said, "What will your Taiwei think? This is really exciting. I also want to see if your Taiwei is like the legend." So wise and just?" Guo Jia saw that he was done, and pretended to be timid and said: "General Cao, Brother Cao, why is this necessary? Isn't it just to reduce or reduce some bounties? This little thing is worth hurting the relationship between our brothers. Feelings. I'm still counting on Brother Cao to help me stimulate my Taiwei, so that I can unify the world and benefit all people. This is our common ideal. How can such a glorious cause be ruined by such a trivial matter? Brother Cao, say it yourself. How much is appropriate. I can¡¯t listen to you.¡±
Cao Ren was secretly happy: As long as this person has a weakness, Guo Jia is nothing more than that. This time I can take the initiative. Cao Ren still said coldly: "As long as Military Commander Guo can save the lives of my family, I will of course work with you for the well-being of all people in the world. You don't have to worry about this. But in order for me to go back, I can I have an explanation with my Prime Minister. It is also for me to better fulfill your entrustment to you. No other changes need to be made. It is still 10,000 criminals, 10,000 rations, and 10,000 dan. All you need to do is change the reward to gold. Five thousand taels is enough.¡±
Cao Ren¡¯s pricing was ruthless. Guo Jia was also secretly surprised. Guo Jia thought to himself: It seems like this guy is ready to take me down. This won't work if it goes his way. Then it will be difficult to implement any strategies I have in the future.
Guo Jia immediately complained: "General Cao, there is no one like you! Even if a businessman asks for a high price and pays the money on the spot, there is no such way to repay. Stop me."If you bargain at a low price, you are already a great buyer. It's a good thing you don't even give me a 10% discount on the deal. A bounty of nine million yuan is equivalent to 900,000 taels of gold at a discount. Is that still ninety thousand taels? One percent is still nine thousand taels? You only gave me five thousand taels. I can't explain it to my lord and colleagues. What is the difference between this and perverting the law? You'd better find my master and explain it yourself. It is better to be suspected by my lord than to be exposed by colleagues. And with your attitude, you don't need me to speak, and we can still realize our ideals. I still make some money. "
Cao Ren secretly complained: It seems that he went a little too far. And the weakness he has mastered doesn't seem to be a big deal. At most, it can create some distance between Guo Jia and Liu Bin. It will affect Guo Jiade's future. It won't hurt Guo Jia's roots. On the contrary, they had already given him a 1% discount, and it was really hard for him to explain after cutting off so much. So Cao Ren also quickly softened his expression. Accompanying Xiao said: "Commander Guo. Isn't that what I said? How can I really be so ignorant? It's just that my prime minister can't compare with the Taiwei. He is really short of money and can't come up with money. Ten thousand taels of gold. That is already the limit that my prime minister has given me. I will have to ask Military Advisor Guo to give me an idea."
When Guo Jia saw Cao Ren's intention, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get much profit out of it. So he said to Cao Ren: "General Cao, why don't we do this? Don't use any gold to pay. Just follow the rules that Prime Minister Cao had when he first bought horses from our Lord Taiwei. You can just pay for it with something." Thought: This is also a way. What Mengde lacks now is food, grass and gold. Other places are even richer. Pay off those things you don't need. This actually kills two birds with one stone. Cao Ren asked cautiously: "Commander Guo, according to your wishes, what can we use to pay off the debt?"
Guo Jia thought about it and said: "Today in Youzhou, we are guarding the sea, and the price of salt is pitifully low. And our cloth and silk are piled up in mountains and cannot be sold at a high price. Even if you have shipped these things, then it is not It¡¯s not worth much money. And I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t even have enough food for yourself, let alone give it to us at the price of rice in Youzhou. To be honest, you, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, really don¡¯t have anything to give us. But for the sake of taking care of us, That's a different matter for you. Let's just use 60,000 strong men and 40,000 strong women. Plus 50,000 jins of subway mines, 50,000 jins of coal mines, and 10,000 taels of tea to offset the debt."
Cao Ren secretly made a calculation: a population of 100,000 people, considering the hundreds of thousands of prisoners he had just acquired, was still affordable. Although this will make Meng De feel distressed for some days. But it also reduced Mengde's military ration shortage. And those 50,000 kilograms of iron ore and 50,000 kilograms of coal are worth only ten thousand taels of gold. But the price of this tea is hard to say. Meng De usually took out some tea leaves when entertaining guests, and used them to entertain distinguished guests. It can be seen that the price of tea is high. If you don't know this, you can't agree casually.
Cao Ren immediately shook his head and said: "Otherwise, ten thousand taels of tea is impossible." Guo Jiayi thought: This Cao Ren is quite smart. These 10,000 taels of tea would be no different from 10,000 taels of gold if it were brought to the grassland. Moreover, if the tea leaves were exchanged with the herdsmen for horses, it would be better than gold. If this is resold, it can bring huge profits. But these are additional income anyway, so if it¡¯s less, just be less. Those populations alone not only expanded Youzhou's population base. That could also bring in a huge profit. This should be enough. It's what the lord said about not being too greedy as a person.
Guo Jia immediately made the decision and said, "Okay! It's up to you, General Cao. That's what we've decided." After speaking, Guo Jia tore up the agreement in Cao Ren's hand and wrote two more agreements. After letting Cao Ren read it. Signed his name. Cao Ren finally returned to Xudu happily and contentedly, lying on the four-wheeled carriage given to him by Guo Jia. (To be continued.
