Guo Jia asked Cao Cao for 200,000 gold, which almost took away nearly eighty percent of the general's inventory, and the remaining twenty percent could only barely stabilize the general's mansion for half a month.

Cao Cao lent it out "generously", but asked Guo Jia to return it with interest, but... This interest rate... To say that it is a usury is to beautify Cao Cao's image. But according to the sentence left by Guo Jia when he left, "I have never seen such a brazen person." It is enough to imagine how high the interest rate Cao Cao wanted.

However, Guo Jia was not too worried about it, he took it out to "gamble", and won a million profits by gambling. The bet was lost... I lost the bet. It's a big deal to pack up your luggage and bring your baggage, and then the wind is tight and pulling.

After Xun Yu learned that Guo Jia took out 200,000 gold and said that he was going to "gamble", he had always been gentle and elegant, and rode directly to Guo Jia's mansion, pulled out his sword to cut Guo Jia, Guo Jia was almost scared to death by Xun Yu, and after playing with Xun Yu for half an hour King Qin walked around the pillar, Xun Yu and Guo Jia were both exhausted, sweating profusely, sitting on the ground panting.

"Wen Ruo, you have to believe me, will I, Guo Fengxiao, make a loss-making deal? This time, I want to change the price of grain in Yan and Henan in one fell swoop, and make those scholars and merchants who have taken refuge in them vomit blood! Guo Jia patted his chest and made a promise to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu also knew that he couldn't stop Guo Jia, after all, he couldn't kill him directly.

"Alas, Bong-hyo, I hope you don't fail. If it's as a friend and confidant, then I don't mind if you fight and gamble. But you have to know that in addition to being your friend and confidant, I am also the courtier of the lord, and I am also the long history of the Later General's Mansion, and you also served as the Sima of the Later General's Mansion. Since I can't stop you, I hope you don't disappoint my lord and me. ”

Xun Yu stood up, patted the dust off his body, and left Guo Jia's mansion.

Guo Jia didn't chase Xun Yu either, just muttered, "Wen Ruo, I won't disappoint you." ”

(Some people don't understand what subordinate officials are after the opening of the government, and I will ask for a private chat, and I will give you a science popularization.) The generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty have the titles of Great General, Hussar General, Che Cavalry General, Wei General and Front, Rear, Left and Right Generals. Among them, the general is above the three dukes, the hussar generals, the chariot cavalry generals and the wei generals are below the three dukes and above the nine qing; The generals on the left and right sides are under Jiuqing. Originally, this general position was not very governed, but since the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother has been in the dynasty to call the system, and most of the relatives are fighting with the generals, and the three princes of Taifu are called the five mansions. Since then, generals can open a government and set up a special staff. According to the rules, the general opened the mansion, and the government had one Changshi and Sima, two Zhonglang, 29 Peng, and 31 Lingshi. Moreover, the general leads the army with this number, and there are standing troops and captains. ）

The next day, inside Guo Jia's mansion.

"Guo Saijiu, do you really want to do this?" Gu Yang was a little surprised by Guo Jia's order.

"Last time I asked you to sell those necessities to the people at a low price, you also questioned it. It's good to have your own opinions, but you don't trust me. Guo Jia was not angry, after all, the order of Guo Jia's plan seemed to be completely opposite to his plan.

Gu Yang and other businessmen immediately apologized to Guo Jia and said, "Guo sacrifice wine, don't blame, we are also too cautious, after all, be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years." ”

"It's okay, trust me! Nowadays, no matter how high the price of grain is in Yan and Henan, I will be given a price increase of 50 yuan per stone! Then let the brothers get some people to pretend to be people to buy the grain we sell. Then I will ask General Hou (Cao Cao) to make a posture that he is about to attack Xuzhou. After the price of those gentry lackeys increased, some people were sent to buy their grain in large quantities. ”

"No!"

And in the next few days, those merchants who took refuge in the Shi clan found that the merchants who took refuge in Cao Cao had also increased their prices, and they had also increased by fifty yuan on the grain price they announced!

"Are these guys crazy?" Zhang Yi, a grain merchant in Chenliu, was not only stunned when he heard about the increase in grain prices of those merchants who had taken refuge in Cao Cao.

"But, my lord, there are really a lot of people who buy it."

"Yes, I have a brother who is a captain in the army, and I heard that the general plans to attack Xuzhou!"

Zhang Yi was stunned: "Is it reliable?" ”

"Reliable, master! The kid said that the general had already sent someone to transport a large number of ordnance to the Xuanwu army in Mount Tai. ”

"Rise! We're also raising prices! We are ten dollars cheaper than them for what they sell! Zhang Yi immediately decided, there are still people who buy higher prices, why not increase the price!

"What! It's two hundred and fifty dollars per stone! ”

"Brother, go, follow me!"

"What are you doing!"

"The Zhang family next door sells for two hundred and forty yuan a stone! That's ten dollars cheaper! ”

"Ah, that's not going yet!"

When the people heard that there was going to be war, the more astute people knew from their experience that the price of grain would rise after a while, so they quickly bought large quantities of grain as a precaution.

However, Guo Jia has been ordering major merchants to continuously raise grain prices.

"What! Four hundred dollars per stone of grain! Wasn't it only two hundred and fifty dollars yesterday? ”

"Love to buy, don't buy and pull down. Lao Tzu told you that General Hou has transferred a large number of ordnance to Taishan County, and the price of grain will rise at that time! ”

"What! Okay, give me some! ”

The people are crazy to buy food, and the young and strong can naturally grab it, but those old and weak women and children can't grab it, and for a while, there was a great chaos in various places under the rule of Yan and Henan, and the county guards and county orders in various places had the urge to transfer troops to directly copy those profiteers. It's just that Cao Cao hasn't agreed, he has been waiting for Guo Jia to give him a result, but Guo Jia has been busy with these things every day.

With his trust in Guo Jia, Cao Cao continued to wait and suppressed the reports of those county guards and county orders.

Subsequently, food prices continued to rise! It has reached the point of 800 yuan per stone of grain and grass, and many people have long been unable to afford food, even if the people of Yan and Henan under Cao Cao are much richer than before.

At this time, Guo Jia asked Cao Cao to open a lot of porridge shops in various places, at least to ensure that fewer people starved to death, and also to collect a wave of people's hearts for Cao Cao. In fact, the number of people who starved to death was much smaller than that in other parts of the world, but Guo Jia still felt a little unbearable in his heart, after all, they died because of their own strategy. However, Guo Jia still understands the truth of killing 100 people and saving 1 million people. In order for food prices to return to normal, someone has to sacrifice.

Then, food prices rose again! And it's a thousand dollars per stone of grain!

Cao Cao was also shocked this time, and pulled Xun Yu to find Guo Jia together, there is a kind of momentum that you don't give an explanation, Lao Tzu will fight with you! Guo Jia was helpless and explained his plan to the two. After listening to this, the two couldn't help but sigh, if Guo Jia goes to business, he will definitely be another Deng Tong!

(Deng Tong, a favorite of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, relied on his special relationship with Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to monopolize the coinage industry at that time, open copper mines widely, and enrich the world.) Emperor Jing ascended the throne, fell out of favor, and was confiscated of his family property. ）
