I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Walk out of Canghai Pavilion.

"Lang Jun..." Lingju called to stop Cao Xiong. "I'll stay and take care of Mrs. Bian..."

Good wife...

Cao Xiong muttered to himself.

I have to admit... There seems to be no such sensitive topic as the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in ancient times.

As for why...

Because of the extremely low status of women, the words of a daughter-in-law in a family have no weight at all... This also creates the inherent concept that men are strong and women are weak, and women are strong and daughters-in-law are weak...

It's just like--

"Lang Jun... I also want to take care of my mother."

"And I…"

Sure enough, after Lingju spoke, both Sun Shangxiang and Ma Yunlu took a step forward...to invite Ying.

These two are both young ladies, how can they take care of others?

This time, it is nothing more than wanting to bear the reputation of filial piety... The big man rules the world with filial piety, even if it is a woman, it is the same.

"Okay..." Cao Xiong nodded, "Mother will leave it to you, I need to go to Youzhou."

Uh... Youzhou.

The three women were all taken aback... They just came back from Youzhou, why are they going back again.

Despite this question, the three of them chose to remain silent in a tacit understanding...their eyes were full of curiosity.

Seeing what they meant, Cao Xiong smiled slightly and explained: "Youzhou is closer to the nomads...I'm going there to buy some wool."

uh...wool?

Why do you need wool when it's all good?

For a moment, the three women were puzzled...Of course they didn't know that at this moment, Cao Xiong's choice and approach almost affected the entire Three Kingdoms World of the Little Ice Age!

Chapter 1322 Empty Gloves White Wolf

Youzhou.

The original Xianbei tribe...

Now... this place has become the territory of the Great Wei and the fiefdom of Cao Xiong.

Because of the openness of trade.

The trade between various nomads here is more and more frequent.

You know, these nomads are extremely eager to do business with Wei...

Sheep, horses, leather, milk on the prairie... They want to replace them with wine, rice, cotton and silk from the Great Wei...

For example, the Southern Huns.

They are most urgent about this...

"Sell the sheep, sell the sheep..." a strong man from the Southern Huns was yelling hard.

Nowadays, in the towns of the Xianbei tribe, there will be a large number of Han people passing by...

The tribal market is the only place where the nomads trade with the Great Wei.

Dozens of soldiers from the Great Wei are standing by...maintaining law and order here.

The merchants began to shout.

"The fat sheep that just came down from the prairie are cheap... Come and take a look."

Not fluent in Chinese...stumbling and yelling, it sounds a bit funny to Cao Xiong.

"My son? Do you really want to do business with the Southern Huns?" Zhao Yun frowned. He has lived in the north since he was a child and is very familiar with these nomadic merchants...

Don't be fooled by their bold appearance...

These businessmen are all monkey spirits!

"If you want to buy wool... you can only go to them." Cao Xiong looked around and spread his hands. The only ones who accompanied Cao Xiong to Youzhou this time were Zhao Yun and Wei Yan.

One wants to protect Cao Xiong's safety, and the other wants to make meritorious service in front of Cao Xiong.

"Your Majesty, why don't you contact Lord Tian Yu if you want to buy wool!" Wei Yan reminded: "Now, Lord Tian Yu is in charge of this place, and he is in charge. Can you buy as much as you want?"

There's nothing wrong with saying this...

But... Cao Xiong has his plan.

"General Wei Yan." Cao Xiong asked. "If you ask Mr. Tian Yu to help you buy it, will you still have to spend money?"

Uh…

Unexpectedly, Cao Xiong asked such a question, Wei Yan's expression was a little astonished...

What does the son say?What's the meaning?Could it be that if he buys it himself, he doesn't need to spend money?

"My son...this..."

"Haha..." Cao Xiong smiled slightly. "My son buys wool, not only does it cost nothing...but it also makes money!"

While speaking, Cao Xiong walked slowly towards the merchant from the Southern Huns.

It is now afternoon.

The sheep dealers of the Southern Huns seem to have a good business. They have already sheared a lot of wool, and the number of live sheep in the flock behind them is also decreasing.

One after another, the Han people purchased a lot.

Since the Xianbei area and Youzhou have opened up trade...

The people of the Great Wei had a soft spot for the mutton of the nomads. After all, the weather was cold during the Little Ice Age...

A bowl of mutton soup can drive away the cold...bring warmth.

For this reason, many restaurants mainly serving mutton and mutton soup have sprung up at the junction of the Xianbei tribe and Youzhou.

Cao Xiong took a closer look.

What a fat sheep. The limbs of the sheep are strong and powerful. It can be seen at a glance that they grew up running on the grassland.

"Little sheep, the little sheep on the grassland? The price is cheap? Young master? Do you want to try one?"

When the Southern Huns saw Cao Xiong walk in, they hurriedly made friends in poor Chinese. "Look quickly... the sheep raised by the Southern Huns, the thighs are full of meat, and it is about to overflow... You can't miss it when you pass by!"

This is a greeting.

The whole Cao Xiong was salivating, and really wanted to buy a roasted whole lamb to keep him warm.

of course.

Cao Xiong did not forget the purpose of coming.

He walked in quickly, bent down, picked up the wool scraped off the ground, put it in the sun, and examined it carefully... Immediately, he nodded in satisfaction.

Good sheep, good wool...

…Now, for Cao Xiong, it is time to perform the technique of empty-handed white wolf.

……

Chapter 1323 Otherwise!

"Hello? What's your name?" Cao Xiong took the initiative to approach the Xiongnu merchant.

"My name is Huyan'e...Look at my fat sheep! They are all fat sheep...big fat sheep!" After all, they are the parents of food and clothing, and the merchants of the Southern Huns are very polite to the people of Wei.

"Huyan'e, are you selling sheep? Why don't you sell the wool as well?" Cao Xiong asked, poking his head.

In Cao Xiong's view, since he wants to do business, the first step is to hide his needs and goals to the depths... Only in this way will he not let the businessman sit on the ground and raise the price and blackmail himself.

"You Han people are so smart..." Hu Yan'e sighed, "Live sheep are sold by the catty...You Han people want me to shave off the wool, so that the catty will be less! The price will be lower, you Han people smart!"

Uh... This accent, why does it have a feeling of baigayalu?

Cao Xiong was slightly astonished...

Seeing Huyan'e's expression was a little annoyed.

"Then... Huyan'e!" Cao Xiong continued to ask, "What do you do with the wool?"

Cao Xiong asked the question with a smile, leading to this crucial question step by step, but Hu Yan'e, the Southern Huns, didn't notice.

Of course, based on Cao Xiong's observation.

The wool in this place can show that no one will want this thing at all...

If no one wants it, it has to be scraped off, so... this is a burden, a great burden to the Southern Huns.

"Wool? Huh... This wool really worries me to death." Hu Yan'e made a look like he was about to shed tears. "If we in the southern Xiongnu were thrown directly on the grassland, the wool would be the wind, and we would be the sand... the wind would blow, and we would forget each other in the rivers and lakes...but..."

Speaking of here.

Huyan'e paused. "Your Master Tian Yu of the Great Wei must ensure the cleanliness of the territory of the Great Wei, and force us Southern Huns to pick up the wool! Otherwise...or else..."

"Otherwise what?" Cao Xiong asked with great interest.

"Otherwise, he won't let us sell sheep." Up to this point, Huyan'e complained again and again. "I'm so pissed off... Every time I bring wool back to the grassland, I'm always laughed at by women..."

As soon as these words were blurted out, Cao Xiong smiled slightly.

Of course, there was a hidden slyness in his smile!This Southern Huns businessman was fooled!

"Is that so..." Cao Xiong sank into thought with his chin in his hands. "It seems that these wools are a burden to you Southern Huns?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Hu Yan'e nodded again and again, suddenly... cunningly, he noticed that Cao Xiong seemed to care about the wool. "Young master, are you interested in these wool?"

Speaking of this, Hu Yan'e raised his head to observe Cao Xiong's expression.

His eyes are very sharp, and he can read the thoughts of the guests from the subtle expressions.

It's a pity... in front of him is a pair of eyes as clear as a lake, deep and peaceful...without the slightest wave.

Hu Yan'e was a little disappointed, and he immediately asked: "My lord, if you like it, I can give it all to you. You just need to buy me two sheep!"

Even if it is wool that no one wants, Huyan'e still wants to make some profit... The merchants of the Southern Huns have always been known for their cunning.

"Uh... I think you misunderstood!" Cao Xiong waved his hand, as if he was about to leave. "My son is only interested in mutton, not the slightest interest in wool."

Having said this, he paused. "These wastes have such a strong smell? I'll take them back. My wife insists on soaking me in the lake for three days before giving up!"

that…

For a moment, Hu Yan'e felt that he couldn't see through this young master.

Cao Xiong pouted.

He opened his mouth, and this sentence was amazing——

--"otherwise…"
