I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

"So, we want to buy land!" Cao Xiong blurted out a word, and Sun Shangxiang's eyes fell...

Buy land?

If it is a good place?Fertile fields?Who would be stupid enough to sell it?

But wasteland, what's the use of coming?

Taking a step back, is there no cost to buy land?Are these all vain coins?

Where do these coins come from?

"hey-hey…"

Cao Xiong smiled slightly.There is also some mystery in the smile.

Because just now, Li Shimin rewarded Cao Xiong with a map of the distribution of minerals in the south of the Yangtze River.

On this map, it is clearly marked, where are the mines!

"Young Master Sun Deng, don't worry! The first step is to buy land, to buy wasteland! As for which wasteland, let me study it!"

The words blurted out.

With a sound of "puchi", Sun Shangxiang laughed out loud.

"Lang Jun, you need a lot of coins to buy this land? You don't think you are thinking about my dowry..."

Ha ha…

Suddenly Sun Shangxiang pointed it out, and Cao Xiong was a little embarrassed.

You know, Sun Shangxiang's dowry is quite a lot, and Wu Guotai married a girl, that's ten miles of red makeup...

Just a bundle of large boxes can be placed for ten miles!

The gold, silver and jewelry inside...it's as if you don't need money...as much as you want...

Cao Xiong didn't dare to look at it, he was afraid that if he looked at it, he would completely fall...

Completely immersed in the luxury of life...

Of course, Cao Xiong was planning for Sun Shangxiang's dowry, but on the surface he still had to be more righteous.

"Please don't worry, lady, this son is not short of money..."

Bang bang... His heart was beating, Cao Xiong himself felt against his will when he said this!

At this moment.

"Report" a loud voice, Dianman loudly spread.

"Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang from the Wu commanderies; Yu, Wei, Kong, and Xie from Kuaiji, and the eight major clans sent envoys to congratulate the prince and the princess on their wedding."

Hearing this, Sun Deng had disdain in his eyes.

"Brother Cao Xiong, these clans don't have a good reputation among the people of Eastern Wu."

Speaking of this, Sun Deng waved his hand. "If you accept their congratulatory gifts, I'm afraid that the reputation of the prince will be stink in Soochow... why don't you return them all..."

Sun Deng's words are actually very reasonable.

Clans and common people, since ancient times, have been the relationship between exploiting and being exploited...

Of course, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the clan was the stronger side, and they even exploited the people to the extreme.

For example, if you farm for a year, your salary is just a bowl of rice...

Even so, a large number of people still flock to it, because the land is firmly in their hands.

If they don't cultivate and don't serve as cheap labor, for them, they will starve to death...

"..."

Cao Xiong rested his chin in deep thought.

"Go back!" Sun Shangxiang ordered: "I don't even bother to hook up with these clans."

"Here!" Dianman agreed, and was about to issue an order to evict the guest.

"and many more!"

Cao Xiong blurted out a word.

"Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

Everyone was stunned.

Cao Xiong's voice came one after another.

"My son's style has always been to accept all gifts and money, and not to do anything!"

While speaking, Cao Xiong strode towards the front hall.

……

……

Chapter 1042 The left ear enters!The red knife is out!

The main hall of the consort's mansion.

"I've seen the son-in-law. The villain was sent by Mr. Zhang Zhao, the head of the Zhang family in Wu County. He brought some small gifts... In fact, it is thirty healthy horses."

"The son was born in the north, so he naturally likes to ride horses. Mr. Zhang Zhao specially bought it from the black market, hoping to make the son happy."

An old man is bowing and saluting, with a pleasant smile and many wrinkles on his face, but he doesn't look very good-looking.

"How much did you pay for each horse?" Cao Xiong immediately asked.

"This... These are all high-quality horses, [-] yuan a horse..."

Hearing this, Cao Xiong wrenched his fingers and calculated quietly. "Thirty horses, that's 90...very good...very good."

The next gift-giver was the Yu family from Kuaiji.

"My son-in-law, here are some ancient books and posters... My family head heard that the son is a master in the literary world, so he found these objects..."

"Isn't this painting and calligraphy expensive?"

Liu Yu's inquiry was exactly the same.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive... the calligraphy is the work of Zhang Zhi, a great calligrapher in the Han Dynasty... one pair only costs [-] yuan."

When the members of the Yu family mentioned [-] yuan, they gritted their teeth, but they still pretended to be laughing, which was very funny.

"One hundred thousand?"

Cao Xiong glanced roughly, and there were five or six calligraphy and paintings hastily.

Immediately nodded, "Okay, I like it very much, I like it very much!"

I muttered in my heart, "Another 60 to [-] yuan!"

……

After one visit and two visits, Cao Xiong received congratulatory gifts from the eight major families within the time it took to stick a stick of incense.

After the discount, it is estimated that there are three or four million yuan.Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty when the currency was seriously devalued, this amount of five baht coins was huge.

Sun Shangxiang and Sun Deng kept shaking their heads behind the curtain, even though they knew that Cao Xiong had plans to buy land.

But to establish contact with the eight major families... This is not a good thing for Cao Xiong's reputation, or for Sun Deng who wants to revenge.

a time.

Sun Deng clenched his fists tightly, and even for a moment, he doubted Cao Xiong, would Prince Wei really offend these clans for him?Was it just to tease him when I said I would help him?

According to the situation in Soochow.To have a deep friendship with him, Sun Deng, is to offend the eight major clans.

The consequences of offending the Eight Great Clans, even Cao Xiong, the eldest son of the Great Wei, will struggle in Soochow!

Although Sun Shangxiang showed a little worried look on her cheek, she was very confident in Cao Xiong.

Continuously winking at Sun Deng, the implication could not be clearer, asking him to trust Cao Xiong.

……

At this time, the eight major families had all delivered their congratulatory gifts.

"Everyone has a heart, a heart!" Cao Xiong cupped his hands and bowed: "Today, this prince is a little tired, so I won't leave you all to eat at the house! Dianman, let's see off the guests!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture and planned to leave.

This time, the members of the Eight Great Families quit. They didn't even say a word, why did the prince leave the banquet?

Immediately catch up with Cao Xiong.

"Your Majesty of Wei... His Majesty..." You quickly grabbed Cao Xiong's sleeve. "Your Majesty, our families are here... we have something to discuss with your Majesty!"

"Oh... that's it!" Cao Xiong frowned. "Aren't you trying to bribe me?"

Bribery, as soon as the words came out, the members of the eight major families all showed expressions of horror.

In Jiangdong, whether it was Sun Jian and Sun Ce in the early days, or Sun Quan today, they have always had zero tolerance for bribery!

When Cao Xiong threw out these two words, all the members of the eight major families retreated.

But they dare not be reconciled.

Haven't you said what the master told you?

"My son... my son... what we are going to talk about is..." a bolder servant said with a smile on his face.

But before he finished speaking, Cao Xiong's expression changed.

"This son is not unreasonable. If you need help, this son will never stand by and watch."

"But, what I said earlier, if it's about Marquis Wu's family affairs...my son's left ear goes in, you guys come out with red knives!"

……

……

Chapter 1043 The Governor of Eastern Wu!Zhou Yu arrives

"This... this... this..."

The members of the eight major families looked at each other in blank dismay. Aren't they talking about the eldest son Sun Deng?

They even asked Cao Xiong to keep a distance from Sun Deng, not to be in the wrong team.

Who would have known, Cao Xiong said - don't talk about Wu Hou's family affairs!

Completely blocked all their words.

Sun Deng is the son of Sun Quan, and the nephew of Sun Shangxiang. No matter how you say it, it is considered a family matter, right?

Everyone looked at Cao Xiong, who made it clear that accepting gifts is nothing to do!

But they still can't lick their faces and ask for this gift back...

Embarrassing, capitalized embarrassment.

"Great Wei Shizi... this..."

Those who are bold want to blurt out.

This time, all the money was spent, but Cao Xiong’s promise was not received... It’s worth the loss!

"Dianman!"

"exist!"

"Just listen, if anyone dares to talk about Wu Hou's family affairs, he will be chopped off! Then hand over his head to Wu Hou, and tell the truth!"

"Here!"
