"When the lord was in the Western Regions, in order to rectify jade mining, he once made a plan to the king of Khotan to 'throw bricks and attract jade, capture thieves and capture the king'. This is the right thing to do today. Xun You explained Zheng Tai's confusion: "What is the quality of the hundred cars of Kungang jade, no one in Luoyang and inside and outside the palace can see it with their own eyes. Five carts of white jade were tributed, and five carts of water cangyu were sold by His Majesty for two billion dollars. If you let a good craftsman make it into all kinds of jade, it will be popular in Kyoto. The price of a single piece of jade has decreased slightly, but the quantity is large. Whether there are five carts of jade material, or fifty carts or even a hundred carts, how can outsiders know. ”

This is the same as that of later generations, the price of parts is high and the price of the whole vehicle is low. Even in later generations, luxury cars were scrapped for some reason, and there was no hope of repair, so they split up parts and sold them, and even comparable car prices. That's why. The business principles contained in it are not known to people at the time.

Seeing that Zheng Tai had not yet comprehended, Jia Xu said again: "The so-called upward and downward effect. Your Majesty is a good donkey cart, and Luoyang is all the rage. Even donkeys are the same as horses. Five pieces of Kungang jade were jointly bought by wealthy merchants in the gold market. This news will spread throughout Luoyang tomorrow. When Kungang jade appears, it will be robbed madly. How many pieces of jade were sold, how do others know. It's a plan to throw bricks and attract jade. ”

Zheng Tai then woke up: "Throwing bricks and attracting jade can be compared to buying horse bones with a thousand gold." Five cars of Kungang jade, priced at 2 billion yuan. Rumors are bound to become a sensation. Kungang jade and Khotanese jade are named. When the jade is on the market, it will be robbed madly. It seems that the wealthy businessmen in the gold market only bought five cars, so the amount is small and precious. However, similar to jade, my lord has a hundred carts. Hundreds of cars of jade materials have a price, and no one cares about them. However, it is sold separately, and the price of each jade piece is clearly marked. Luoyang nobles and sons of families will compete to buy. When 100 carts of jade are sold, the income will be 10 times or 100 times more than 2 billion yuan. ”

"As the public industry says. This is the lord's plan to 'throw bricks and attract jade'. Xun You said with a smile: "Lao Tzu said: 'If you want to take it, you must fix it'." That's the ingenuity of this plan. ”

Zheng Tai was finally relieved, so he got up and saluted: "The two mansions are both talented. (Zheng) Tai, happy and convinced. ”

Jia Xu and Xun You also returned the salute: "They are all serving the Ming Lord, so how can they divide each other." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, not against their hearts.

After laughing, Zheng Tai couldn't help asking: "In order to pay the salaries of the Qiang people, the newly minted money is shipped to Longyou." Where did you get two billion dollars? ”

"It's really worthy of the lord's public and private ministers." Jia Xu smiled and said, "Why don't you wait and see." ”

"That's fine." Seeing that everything was in Erfu Cheng's control, Zheng Tai stopped asking. All you need to know is that the two of them have everything in mind.

The so-called wool comes out of the sheep. The two billion dollars used to buy five carts of Kungang jade were recast with His Majesty's five billion taels of Han and five baht. Jia Xu and Zuo Feng agreed to exchange five for two. Five billion taels and five baht, only two billion four out of five baht. The country of thistle is in and out, making three billion dollars. Now take out another two billion to buy back five cars of Kungang Meiyu. There is also a surplus of a billion dollars.

One in and one out, and then a Hanyuan. Eight horizontal and six vertical, ten miles and nine sakas.

This business is really profitable. It's really a book of great profits.

Hanyuan, across the Xiguo boundary - Yangqu. Its east garden gate stretches far beyond the west Guo. There is a stone bridge in the old garden across the Yang Canal. In other words, Liu Bei did not need to go through the West Guo Gate located in the Sunset Pavilion, and he could enter and exit Luoyang City from the east and west gates of Hanyuan. Come and go freely, naturally convenient.

Orchid Horse Market, Chunhui Private Room.

The thistle king is coming. The hussar general Dong Chongzi relinquished his main seat and retreated to the second seat.

Yongle Shaofu Yang Biao, Light Car General Cao Cao, Wuguan Zhonglang General Sun Jian, Changshui Captain Yuan Shu, Yue Cavalry Captain Cao Chong, City Gate Captain Zhao Yan, Hussar Governor Shi Kongrong, Chief Bookkeeper Zhang Xun, etc., new friends and friends gathered together.

Previously, Dong re-set up a banquet for Cao Cao to catch the wind, and was looked at differently because he invited Yang Biao. Today, the king of thistles can appreciate his face, not only with another eye, but also with a smile.

Han law, more than three people drink in a group for no reason, and a fine of four taels is fined. There must be a reason for the four to drink.

Other words. The people who attended the meeting were not idle chatter. Rather, each has a purpose.

Dong Chong is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong. The leader of Dong's relatives. His Majesty rebuilt the Yong'an Palace, wanted to move the Empress Dowager Dou, and congratulated her on her birthday. Clear-sighted people know that this move is a matter of Lichu. As mentioned earlier, if the Empress Dowager Dong wants to keep the glory and wealth of the Dong family. It is inevitable that the curtain will be weighed.

If the eldest son of the emperor, the He family is the only one. Empress Dowager Dong is resting everything. If the second son of the emperor is established, the Empress Dowager Dong should still have a place. It's a matter of life and death, and you should go all out. Do whatever it takes.

The general He Jin is gaining momentum. He has appeared as a retainer. In the whole world, the only one who can compete with it and win is the king of thistle. In other words, how the thistle king acts is enough to influence whether he is long or noble.

In public and private, Dong Chongzi must do his best to marry the king of thistle.

Except for Cao Cao, who has not seen him for a long time, the biggest surprise is Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger. Sun Jian, the general of the five officials, has 3,000 elite soldiers, and he is stationed in Gong County. It is only a day's journey from Luoyang. It is Dong Chong's right-hand man, the first combat force. Yuan Shu, the captain of Changshui, has always had different political views from his eldest brother Yuan Shao. Ignoring the general, he made friends with Dong Chong. The Changshui Battalion under his command also has 700 elites. Such as Cao Chong, the captain of the Yue cavalry, and Zhao Yan, the captain of the city gate, all hold military power. The fifth school of the Northern Army, there are already two battalions to take refuge in Dong Hussar. Coupled with the courage of Sun Jian, the commander of Zhonglang with five facial features, Dong Chongneng collected 5,000 tigers in one day. There is also a light car general Cao Cao who guards the big river, and 5,000 elite soldiers of the Liyang battalion, going upstream, can be reached in a few days, and the strength can not be underestimated.

And the three generals of the Northern Expedition have always been good friends with the King of Thistle. For example, Duliao General Gongsun Zan is the same disciple of King Ji. Even the left and right chariot riding generals also intersected with Liu Bei. Huya General Zhang Xiu and Capturing General Gong Qichou were both born in Youzhou. There were frequent contacts with the country of Ji, and before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people of the sect moved into the country of Ji to live in peace.

Except for the left general Dong Zhuo, several good generals who were promoted to the backbone of the empire because of the Ping Yellow Turban have a deep relationship with King Ji.

Don't talk about Dong Chong, even after that, he is also vying to marry his little sister. This is evident.

Of course. Such confidant whispers are inconvenient to speak explicitly. Tonight is only about personal relations, not about political affairs.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Liu Bei got up and quit the banquet. Everyone couldn't enjoy themselves, so they made an appointment to go to the Jinshui Soup House, bathe in incense, and go upstairs to drink again.

Liu Bei ordered someone to arrange it first.

His Majesty has passed the edict that the king of thistle is tired of traveling and driving, and there is no need to go to court these days. A group of friends also took leave first. Liu Bei wanted to go back first. But he was told by Dong Chonghao and persuaded to take a bath.

Bathrobes to be replaced, and bathing in the pool. Dong Zhong was triumphant and looked at Kong Rong.

Kong Rong's expression said it all.

I didn't believe it before. I think that the rumors are exaggerated. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I believe it is true.

Born Liu Sandun. Fruit ...... Ordinary people too!

Bath in aromatherapy and climb upstairs for a drink.

It wasn't until the rooster crowed that they slept peacefully. Liu Bei rode back to his house and slept with Yu Ji.

Sleep until dawn.
