Cao Cao looked at the grain market price report sent by Mao Jie, his face was gloomy, and he clutched the bamboo slips tightly.

"Runan Chen, Lujun Guo, Chenjun Xu, Anfeng Jiao。。。。。。 There is a kind, you can, you want to die, and you will be alone! ”

Cao Cao directly slashed the table case with a sword, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder.

Those scholars are sure that Cao Cao is changing the law at present

Xun Yu frowned, but he still behaved very calmly.

"My lord, the problem of food prices must be resolved quickly. Nowadays, although the people are gradually getting richer, the price of grain changes three times a day, and the price of grain in all parts of Yanzhou is more than 210 yuan per stone, and even rises to 230 yuan per stone in some places. The price of grain in various parts of Yuzhou has risen one after another by 220 yuan per stone, and even worse, it is already 240 yuan per stone. Although the price of food is not too high now, if the trend is so high, the people will inevitably be in chaos. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then said to Xun Yu: "Immediately send orders to open warehouses and release grain in various places." ”

Guo Jia interrupted: "Meng De can't. A large part of this grain will be taken away by the scholars, and I am afraid that less than sixty percent will reach the hands of the people. ”

"Don't you care if the people live or die?"

Guo Jia proposed a new concept - business warfare

"Opening the warehouse and releasing grain is just a symptom but not a cure, I want to try, use bloodless means to let those scholars spit out the grain." Guo Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a trace of arc, like a cunning fox.

"Business wars?"

"Mengde, Wen Ruo, and watch me stir up the storm."

Two days later, Guo Jia convened the families of major businessmen in Yanzhou and Yuzhou to gather at Guo Jia's mansion.

When the merchants came to Guo Jia's mansion, they couldn't help but feel strange. Who in the world doesn't know Guo Jia's status in Cao Cao's heart, in addition to the official position given by Cao Cao, Guo Jia also has the official position of Youzhou Shepherd and General Pingyu, but Guo Jia's mansion is actually like this... Shabby.

Guo Jia's mansion does not decorate the mansion with any gold and jade treasures, nor does it have any beautiful maids to serve, only an elderly old housekeeper welcomes guests, and a few male servants serve tea and water.

Gu Yang, the largest grain merchant in Yanzhou, couldn't help but be surprised by this, "The dignified Youzhou Mu, General Pingyu, the Later General's Mansion Sima, and the Military Advisor Sacrifice Wine, the mansion is so shabby, how is it possible?" Even the home of a merchant in my house is still decorated with jade and gold nuggets and beads, but this... ”

Next to Gu Yang was Wang Gui, the largest salt merchant in Yanzhou, and he saw Gu Yang's surprise, and said, "Brother Gu, it is rumored that Guo Fengxiao does not like gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful relatives, but only likes BMW divine soldiers, and his preferences are like those martial artists. ”

Gu Yang nodded: "I see." By the way, Brother Xu, you are in the iron business, which is very suitable for Guo Sai's wine. Moreover, it is rumored that Guo Saijiu is good at Mojia craftsmanship, so in this way, please ask Brother Xu to please Guo Saijiu. ”

Xu Hao was wooden, taciturn, and devoted himself to the forging process, just nodding in response.

When everyone entered the main hall under the guidance of the old butler, they saw a young man kneeling on the main seat, with a white fox face, a pair of slender peach blossom eyes like autumn water, with his green shirt, shawl and long hair, profligate and uninhibited, everyone couldn't help but look sideways, this unparalleled ghost talent was so young and uninhibited!

Guo Jia saw everyone coming in, got up and walked to the door, and everyone bowed and saluted, "I've seen Guo Sacrifice Wine." ”

Guo Jia waved his hand, "Guo doesn't like these courtesies, there is no need to be like this." You may be seated. ”

The floor is covered with layers of bamboo mats, the fragrance of green bamboo is faintly dispersed, and there is a boxy table in the middle, and a light of tea is placed on each table.

"Guo sacrificial wine, what is this?"

Tea in the Han Dynasty was used as a vegetable, usually directly boiled with water, and then eaten with rice, or often made into cake-shaped tea after picking, similar to the appearance of today's Pu'er cake. Before drinking, the bread is baked red and then mashed in a crockery. Finally, fill it with boiling water, boil a few large meat ingots, add condiments such as green onion and ginger, and maybe add oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Guo Jia really can't stand this kind of thing, that taste...

So Guo Jia stir-fried those tea leaves and turned them into the kind of tea of later generations, put them in a cup, and added boiling water.

"This is my own tea brewing method, please taste it."

Guo Jia smiled faintly.

Everyone was a little surprised, it seems, they have never seen this kind of tea, after tasting it, they found that this tea has a slightly bitter taste, and then the bitterness is sweet, it seems to have a different flavor.

"I invite you to come today, it's Guo who has something to ask for."

Seeing that Guo Jia had started the topic, everyone put down their cups one after another.

"You also know that the price of grain in Yan and Henan has risen sharply recently under the control of those scholars, I don't know what you think?"

Everyone looked at each other and did not speak.

Guo Jia sneered and said sharply, "It seems that you are so afraid of the scholars that you don't even dare to talk about it." Also, you naturally don't dare, you are just a mere businessman, a lowly person! How dare you contend with that noble nobleman! ”

"Bang."

Gu Yang slapped the case, and said angrily, "Guo sacrificed wine, although we are businessmen, we must not be humiliated!" ”

The sarcasm on Guo Jia's face became more and more intense: "Oh? Ridiculous, not insulting? Guo changed the law, which strengthened the status of you and other businessmen, and made it easier for you and others to do business, but you and others were as timid as rats, allowing the scholars to manipulate the price of grain, not the cowardly mouses, what is it! It's because Guo told the truth and poked you in the sore spot, and now you are going to be annoyed and angry! ”

"I heard that the Gu family was forced by the Xu family of Chen County some time ago and was not allowed to sell even a single piece of grain and grass, is it a shame? Timid as a mouse? ”

Gu Yang's face was hideous, and he pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed at Guo Jia, "Guo Fengxiao!" Thou art in a high position, and thy rank is low, but thou art not afraid of thee! Although I am a businessman, I will not tolerate humiliation! Within three steps, you will not be afraid of blood splashing three feet! ”

Several businessmen on the side hurriedly grabbed Gu Yang.

"Master Gu, no, no!"

"Calm down, don't be impulsive!"

Guo Jia ignored Gu Yang's threat at all, lowered his head and continued to drink tea, there was only one guard behind him, but it was enough to kill everyone in front of him.

"Come on! Thou shalt try, and you and I are only three steps apart. I have heard that the master of the ancient family is also a person who practices martial arts, if you can put the sword on my neck, you can do whatever you want. ”

Guo Jia glanced at him provocatively, but his expression was fearless and calm.

Gu Yang is a fiery character, and he usually looks gentle and elegant, but his inner self-esteem is actually very strong, so he threw everyone away and rushed forward.

"Presumptuous!"

The guard behind Guo Jia roared wildly, flew in front of Gu Yang, and grabbed Gu Yang's right wrist holding the sword tightly with one hand, and pinched it hard, Gu Yang couldn't resist.

With a clang, the sword fell to the ground.

The guard let go of Gu Yang's hand, and Gu Yang still wanted to resist, but the guard grabbed his neck with one hand and picked him up as if he was carrying a chick.

"In front of a certain Chen Liudian Junming, you dare to be presumptuous!"
