Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 263 I want to buy food

Chapter 264 I want to buy food

Because Lao Cao didn't believe at all that Cao Chong said that the bandits had gained more than [-] taels of gold and silver.

So when Zhou Buyi said that Cao Chong wanted to keep some of the gold and silver, Lao Cao didn't take it seriously at all. Since his son captured it, he would get it all. I'm not so poor that I want to take my son's spoils!

"But, Prime Minister, that's more than one hundred thousand gold and silver, the young master can't use that much, and the young master even asked me to buy some food from the prime minister..."

Zhou Buyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on with Lao Cao, and said in his heart: Your Excellency Prime Minister, it's not that I deceived you.

"Ha! Ha! I finally showed my fox tail. Chong'er was too embarrassed to ask me for food, so I sent you here to ask me for food. How much food does Chong'er want you to buy back?"

Lao Cao laughed loudly, what more than [-] gold and silver, dare to deceive the old man, and I will settle accounts for you when I come back.

Zhou Buyi waited for Lao Cao to stop laughing, and asked cautiously: "Can I buy 5 taels of silver grain from the prime minister?"

"Ok?"

Lao Cao was taken aback, Chong'er really wanted to buy food from the old man?

Cao Chong's family property, Lao Cao asked someone to calculate it. Cao Chong can really take out 5 taels of silver.
Seeing that Lao Cao was in a daze, Zhou Buyi hurried forward and continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Prime Minister, the young master is willing to donate [-] gold and silver to the prime minister, and only asks the prime minister to allocate [-] shi of grain to Luoyang!"

Seeing Zhou Buyi say this, Lao Cao's face turned dark.

It turns out that this kid really has so much gold and silver!Is it really obtained by suppressing bandits?
But the problem is: when Zhou Buxu said that he would exchange [-] silver for [-] shi of grain, it was no longer a question of whether Lao Cao was willing to give it.

According to the current price of grain, 10 taels of silver can buy at least 20 shi of grain. Although it may not be possible to buy, the price is indeed this price.

Cao Chong now wants to exchange 10 taels of silver for [-] shi of grain. If the officials of the prime minister's mansion know about this, they will definitely line up to persuade Lao Cao to sell it quickly.

Zhou Buyi was angrily kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion by Lao Cao, and Lao Cao threatened him, if he dared to reveal anything about today's affairs, be careful!

After Lao Cao drove Zhou Buyu out, he sent someone to question Guo He: What happened to the bandits in Mangshan?Why is there no report?
Guo He felt that he was wronged, why should you blame me for the matter of your father and son?
In the end, Lao Cao didn't really let Cao Chong spend four times the price to buy food from the prime minister's mansion. That's not cheating his son, that's cheating his father!There is still a big difference between the money arriving at the prime minister's mansion and Lao Cao's own hands!
Lao Cao decided to be a good person to the end, and sold [-] shi of grain directly to Cao Chong, but the price was [-]% higher than the market price, and the delivery was in batches, [-] shi after the summer harvest and [-] shi after the autumn harvest.

Lao Cao's arrangement is very clever, the price is [-]% higher than the market price, which can silence the public, so that no one will say that he deliberately favors his son, and can also give his subordinates some benefits.

Cao Chong paid according to the current grain price which is [-]% higher, but now it is not available. When the grain price is the highest, after the autumn harvest, the grain price drops to the lowest point. It is estimated that at least [-]% of the profit can be made. If the operation is good, one It is also possible to double the profit!

For Cao Chong, buying so much grain at one time would definitely cost more money, and besides the prime minister's mansion, Cao Chong would not be able to buy grain even if he had money.

Cao Chong directly transported 8 taels of silver and 6000 taels of gold to Lao Cao. Of course, you can’t use that much to buy food, half of which is not needed. It's normal for Lao Tzu.

After this big deal, Lao Cao, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Cao Chong are all very satisfied!Others said nothing, and some even praised Lao Cao, saying that he was so dedicated to the country that he even cheated his own son!
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was also very happy. The two large boxes of jade flakes that Cao Chong had given him had already been received, and his affairs were settled. Otherwise, based on his current situation, it would be a dream to get himself a pair of golden hazel jade clothes. !

Of course, there were also people who cursed behind their backs, saying that the gods were not open to allowing the traitor father and son to get so much money.

More people wondered where Cao Chong's money came from?Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are the representatives.

Cao Chong chuckled: The gentry in the world have accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, what is this little money to them?Someone wants to help Xiaoye, can't he?

The ones who regret the most are those behind the scenes who drove the refugees to Luoyang. After they heard that Cao Chong bought [-] shi of grain, they finally knew the consequences of their actions. The population of Luoyang County increased by one Times!

Old Cao knew that Cao Chong had left a lot of gold and silver, so he didn't say anything else. After all, his son got it from the bandits himself, so he could still open his mouth to get it without his old face.

Besides, Cao Chong paid him a lot of filial piety, the 6000 taels of gold belonged to Lao Cao!The receipt of 8 taels of silver by the Prime Minister's Mansion has already made officials big and small laugh from ear to ear.

"Wen Jiao, is it okay to keep our food until the summer harvest?" Cao Chong asked cheerfully.

"Okay, it will last until the end of June!"

"Great, the Prime Minister's Mansion has agreed to sell [-] shi of grain to Luoyang, and the delivery will start after the summer harvest."

"One hundred thousand stones!"

"Yeah! Look for yourself, you don't have to worry about food in the future, look at your little face is wrinkled these days!" Cao Chong replied to Wen Jiao with Zhou Buyi.

"What one hundred thousand stones? Didn't my husband say that sister Wenjiao would not be allowed to mention official business when she was resting? Why did you mention it yourself?" Diao Chan came in with snacks and tea.

"Ah, it's my fault. I shouldn't have ruined Wenjiao's rest time. Here's the letter. Don't read it! This time it's my fault. I'm fined to give Wenjiao a massage and rub her shoulders to relieve fatigue..."

Wen Jiao dodged lightly, dodging Cao Chong's harassment.

At the beginning of this year, Cao Chong felt that Wen Jiao was not as cold towards him as last year. Of course, he would not give up the opportunity. When Wen Jiao had a rest, Cao Chong came over.

But until now, there is still no substantial progress, and Wen Jiao still treats him indifferently, which makes Cao Chong very distressed!

Fortunately, Wenjiao's workaholic momentum has stopped, and she is willing to look at the scenery, sip tea, and play the piano for a rest every time she rests.

"Horses don't get fat without night grass, people don't get rich without windfalls! Saints don't lie to me! Young master, I'm so smart, and my family fortune accumulated through hard work is less than [-]% of that of a group of bandits. How can I justify this?" Go!" Cao Chong exclaimed.

"Stop making up saints with common sayings!" Wen Jiao glared at Cao Chong.

"Also, the fact that you obtained a huge amount of wealth from bandits this time is considered an exposure, and those who covet this batch of treasure must hate you to death!"
