The hook of the big dog was expected by Guo someone, and it was not surprising at all.

Guo even wanted to laugh.

But in front of the big dog, Guo couldn't laugh, and had to put on an unexpected expression.

"How does he know about tea? Who said that to him? ”

Thatch translated the Emperor's question.

Longlihe grunted for a while.

"It was introduced by Ma Yuan, the envoy sent by His Majesty, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Shang Shu Xin, who said that he wanted to buy some to bring back to the emperor and nobles of the Kushan Kingdom to taste, if he could, he wanted to buy more."

Speaking of this, Thatch sighed with disdain or envy, and then said-

Price, he said, is not an issue.

really has the demeanor of a big dog, and it's not wrong to say that he is a big dog.

Under the absolute information asymmetry, these shrewd merchants have also become stupid and wealthy dogs in the eyes of Guo.

Guo laughed secretly in his heart, and showed an embarrassed expression on the surface.

"In this way, tea is not a cheap thing, it was originally a lonely whim, changed a way to drink, who knew that it spread in Luoyang, now the tea production is low, there are many people who need it, the price is more expensive than gold, and there is no place to buy it, so let's give a box to the envoy."

Guo called Su Yuan and asked him to arrange it, and then Su Yuan quickly came to Longlihe with a small wooden box, opened it and showed Longlihe, and saw a small ball of tea inside.

He wanted to buy more, not just drink it himself......

"Can't you really buy it?"

Thatch relayed Longlihe's inquiry.

"This ......"

Guo walked around and thought for a while.

"That's it, Su Yuan, you take the envoy to Cao Shoufu's side, let Cao Shoufu talk to the envoy, I remember that there should be a lot of tea on Cao Shoufu's side, how to buy and sell, just let them talk, no one will suffer anyway."

Knowing that he had the opportunity to buy tea, Longlihe immediately became happy, and after thanking Guo Peng, he left the palace under Guo Peng's happy gaze.

Not long after, Cao Cao came over to meet Guo Peng.

Cao Cao was deeply implicated in the Cui Yan case before, so he was severely punished, but he has not lost his political power, and he can be regarded as a complete retreat in a sense, so Cao Cao can still feel Guo Peng's preferential treatment for him.

After that, he apologized to Guo Peng several times and promised that he would not casually participate in political struggles in the future, which was exchanged for Guo Peng's "forgiveness".

Among the officials who have been punished, Cao Cao is the first to regain his strength and reinstate the work of the cabinet.

He was busy here, but Guo Peng actually asked Su Yuan to bring a Guishuang envoy to buy tea from him, and he had to buy a lot of tea as soon as he bought it, and the lion opened his mouth.

Cao Cao felt very unhappy.

He felt that the Kushan envoy was deliberately flaunting his wealth.

Rich is amazing, huh?

If you have money, you can do whatever you want?

I tell you, in our Wei country, money is always a slave to power!

Yokel!

So angry, Cao Cao raised the price high, which was more expensive than the price of gold itself.

Cao Cao set the price, saying that one pound of tea would cost two pounds of gold to buy, can you afford it?

He was ready to mock this hillbilly who only knew how to use money to open the way, and let him know what it means that money can't buy it.

As a result, this guy quickly sent a box of about 100 catties of Guishan gold coins to Cao's mansion, put it in front of Cao Cao, and told Cao Cao that he was going to buy 50 catties of tea and take it away.

The gold coin was heavy, golden, shiny.

As soon as the box was opened, Cao Cao's ridicule, which had already rushed to his throat, dissipated for no reason.

I'm sorry, but you can really do whatever you want with money.

The reason why some people think they can't is most likely because they don't have enough money.

Cao Cao always thought that he was still very rich.

But when he saw that the other party easily took out so much gold, he was sure that he was really not as rich as the nobles of the Kushan Empire.

Not only him, but Cao Hong, the richest person in the Cao family, couldn't easily take out so much gold to buy tea.

Most of the gold of the Wei Empire was in Guo's treasury.

Except for the amount of gold buried in the ground, the amount of gold in private hands is not much, because a large part of it was obtained by Guo someone during the war by destroying Haoqiang Manor.

The precious metals such as gold and silver scattered among the people were mastered by Guo in large quantities during Guo's unification war, and the gold in the hands of Cao Cao was no exception.

Over the years, all this gold and silver have been recovered by Guo in various ways into his vault, and they don't have much gold and silver in their hands.

They had money, but it was basically copper coins, silk cloth, silk, grain equivalents, and other antiques, jade books, and the like.

Everything else is real estate and people, such as land and people on private estates.

Not gold, but real wealth.

The rules of the Wei Empire are that only after some merits have been made over the years will Guo someone reward a small amount of gold or silver, that is, as a thought, and you will not be allowed to take it as money.

Gold and silver are basically in Guo's hands, so Cao Cao was amazed when he suddenly saw so much gold.

How come they have so much gold!

Cao Cao had the same idea that Guo Peng had had before.

And then immediately, the body starts acting against the will of the brain.

He didn't have that much tea in his hands, so he rushed to Cao Hong's house to get the tea.

He knew that Cao Hong's family would definitely not be short of tea.

Cao Hong didn't know why, and was startled when he heard that Cao Cao wanted more than 30 catties of tea.

As a result, Cao Cao couldn't help but say that he was going to take it, and Cao Hong didn't carry it, so Cao Cao took someone to rob more than 30 catties of tea in a way that was almost robbed.

Cao Cao also left a sentence, saying that he would definitely not let you suffer or anything, and left.

Now Cao Cao had tea, and he scraped together fifty catties and let Longlihe's envoy take them away, and then got a hundred catties of Guishan gold coins.

The golden color almost dyed Cao Cao's pupils the same color.

After that, Cao Cao went to the palace to talk to Guo Peng about this matter.

"The Kushan country can use gold and silver as coins for circulation, so it can be seen that there is a wide range of gold and silver in the country, so I must trade with them to obtain enough gold and silver, although the amount of copper coins is large, but after all, the price is cheap."

Then Guo looked at Cao Cao with inexplicable eyes.

"The Kushan people gave a lot of gold to buy tea, right? Is there a lot of them? What is the color geometry? Is the casting exquisite? ”

Cao Cao was a little panicked by Guo someone's look, and then quickly understood what Guo meant.

Soon, a box full of gold coins was exchanged for fifty catties of tea by Guo someone, and Cao Cao did not suffer.

At least before the big outbreak of tea production, Cao Cao would not suffer, and Cao Hong would naturally not either.

But Guo is a gold-swallowing beast!

Of course, it's not enough to have a scarce amount of tea.

Tea in the Wei State can not help Guo someone to make a lot of money, to fully occupy the Guishan market will take two or three years, bulk goods can be exported is the most critical.

Silk, porcelain, lacquerware, iron pots.

These four major samples are the most accessible bulk trading goods in the hands of Guo, among which silk is naturally the fist product of the Wei Empire's foreign trade exports, which is irreplaceable.

Guo is now letting Man Pet vigorously support the Shu brocade industry in Shu and manufacture a large number of high-quality Shu brocade, just for the accumulation of large-scale foreign trade orders in the future.

Chengdu was originally called Jinguancheng, but now Guo has re-established Jinguan, controlled the Shu brocade silk trade, and did not allow private individuals to participate in this matter, and fully nationalized it.

The production of silk needs to be supported by a stable political situation, which is the task of full favor and happiness.

Since Man Chong took office as the assassin of Yizhou, he has assisted Lejin in pacifying all the people, subjects and thieves in the northern part of Yizhou, and the situation in the northern part of Yizhou has basically stabilized.

The centrifugal forces in the Sichuan Basin have been swept away, and the ruling power of the Wei Empire has gained a firm foothold in the Sichuan Basin, so it is time to transition to a link of smooth governance.

Guo someone's demand for Shu Jin's output has been mentioned very high, and if Man Zhong can't hand over a satisfactory answer, even if Guo doesn't blame him, he can't forgive himself.

So the full pet began to do it.
