Regarding the rise of Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao was not worried, but was as happy as Yuan Shu. Because he also knows that Gongsun Chan can be so thriving now, it is completely dependent on Yuan Shu's own money to help, as long as Yuan Shu can't hold Gongsun Chan, he has to finish the game.

That's right, in the eyes of the princes of the world, Yuan Shu is completely wasting money and food and losing his own capital. After all, people in this era knew very little about business, and the merchants and families of Jiangdong understood what was going on. Other estimates are that Xun Yue under Liu Bei knows a little about this, even Xun Yu only vaguely felt that there were some problems in this, but he didn't think about it.

Anyway, what was lost was Yuan Shu's money and food, and except for Yuan Shao, who was extremely angry about this, the other princes were secretly happy. Even if Yuan Shu is rich, how many years can he last if he tosses it like this? It's a pity that so much money and food from Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family have been ruined by this loser.

Except for Xun Yue, who has an in-depth study of Yuan Shu, as well as some strategists and businessmen who are proficient in business, everyone except Jiangdong regards Yuan Shu as a fool who does not know the importance and spends money indiscriminately, but they don't know that Yuan Shu is also looking at the princes of the world with a kind of eyes that look at fools. Jiangdong's top strategists, who had barely figured out the truth, also expressed deep sorrow for these princes, and sooner or later Yuan Shu would be able to "buy" the entire world.

Even if Yuan Shu is not clear about economic warfare, he can slowly figure it out. If nothing else, Gongsun Chan is now a typical example. For Gongsun Zhan, who has been accustomed to exchanging money and grain from Yuan Shu, as long as Yuan Shu interrupts the transaction, Youzhou will have to be in chaos for half a year at most. If Yuan Shu hooked his hands in secret, the entire Youzhou might change hands.

Don't look at the strength of the Central Plains now, it looks like it is thriving, in fact, half of the grain in the Central Plains is provided by Yuan Shu. As long as Yuan Shu makes a move, Cao Cao can die of poverty, it is estimated that Yuan Shao, a real big money, can barely hold on, and Liu Bei in Yuzhou will not last long. After all, Yuan Shu can not only interrupt the supply of food, but also buy it! With the urine nature of the Yuzhou family, as long as there are interests, they will not care about Liu Bei's life or death, anyway, it is the food they provide, who is not selling it?

However, Yuan Shu didn't dare to use this method easily, after all, he was just a rich second generation who was waiting for death before he crossed over, and he only knew a little about this. People in this era just don't have the vision, and when it comes to IQ, Yuan Shu is far inferior to them. What if Yuan Shu is used and the snake is bitten instead of dying?

If one of the other party's strategists figured out all this, and then came up with more bad ideas, Yuan Shuke would be depressed if he pitted himself. Moreover, economic warfare also has some limitations, and it cannot destroy the enemy, but can only make a little mess. Therefore, Yuan Shu only planned to use it again before the final decisive battle, to catch the opponent off guard, and force the opponent to have to go to war with him.

"Sometimes it's sad to think about." Cao Cao laughed at himself: "I am poor and white here, and the people under my command even have enough to eat, and the soldiers can only barely make ends meet." If it weren't for the kindness of Yuan Highway's woman, who sold me some grain, it is estimated that my command would already be full of bones. ”

"My brother's family is reluctant to buy firewood when there is a shortage of firewood, and my niece goes out to collect firewood by herself. Even me, there are not many luxuries at home, and I am extremely frugal. But Yuan Highway is good, and he makes a big fanfare, accompanied by three thousand soldiers. I played all the way in Jingzhou and was ready to go to Yizhou. The money and food in his hand are going to be moldy, not to mention all kinds of spending money in Jiangdong, and there is spare money to pick up Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu. It's really more popular than people! ”

Cao Cao really has a deep hatred for Yuan Shu, this is a kind of resentment against the rich second generation. I don't dare to buy a bucket of instant noodles here, you don't want to eat big fish and meat every day, and you have a dog with more living expenses than me every month. What an unreasonableness!

You must know that Cao Cao has lived a tight life since he became a family, and he does not dare to waste every stone of grain. In history, Xiahou Yuan's servant was taken away by Zhang Fei because she was collecting firewood outside and became a wife, you must know that it was Xiahou Yuan's servant! Go to collect firewood in person, you can think about how poor Cao Cao is, and the poor are forced to let the soldiers eat human flesh!

As long as he can live, he will eat human flesh, Cao Cao is so pragmatic and ruthless. This commodity is used to being poor, and every time there is a war, it is not only to grab land, but also a large part of the reason is that there is not enough food to support so many soldiers. Fighting a war can also consume some soldiers and grab some food.

From the beginning of his fortune to the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao walked on thin ice every time he fought, for fear that there would be not enough food. As a result, many victories were still achieved in this situation, and the battle of Guandu, which may have never fought such a rich battle in his life, floated all of a sudden, and ended in a fiasco.

Although Cao Cao firmly believed that wealth and food were not the decisive factors in determining victory, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were certainly powerful, but they were far less wise than themselves, and in the end he would definitely be able to grow up to fight them, and he would be able to win the battle.

But in the face of Yuan Shu's behavior of losing everywhere, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel very angry. A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry! With so much money and food, how good you are for me. is really a loser, and I don't know how the Yuan family was educated, if I had such a son, I would definitely kill him.

Cao Cao was right, Yuan Feng, who was hiding in the shadows, was already so angry that he was almost unconscious, and scolded angrily every day: Rebel!

Just the loser Yuan Feng can barely bear it, what are you doing! Aren't you thinning out the interests of the Yuan family when you engage in this way?

If Cao Cao's feelings were to be known to Yuan Shu, he would definitely spray Cao Cao's face. Is money and food saved? It's wasted! I am so extravagant not for enjoyment, but for the sake of hiding wealth from the people and circulating wealth.

That's right, that's it!

Yuan Shu hypnotized himself like this every time, never admitting his selfishness.

In fact, this is indeed the case, not only did not lose money on this patrol, but made a lot of money. He's just a living signboard, and he promotes it wherever he goes. Whether it is the four-wheeled carriage, or the sofa, tea, mahjong, etc., which Yuan Shu has made, they have all become luxury goods that the upper-class people in Jingzhou are crazy pursuing.

Up and down, Yuan Shu, who is recognized as the world's number one gentleman, plays with things that are definitely the best of the best, and they are all status symbols. Not only the children of various families, but even the heads of families such as Kuailiang Cai Mao are fascinated by it.

No way, anyone who has sat in a spacious luxury carriage with shock absorbers will not be able to stand the original carriage. Anyone who has drunk the tea can't stand the beef and mutton steamed buns with condiments such as green onion and ginger, oh no, tea.

After a trip, countless orders flew into Cai's hands again, and Yuan Shu made a lot of money. Not only that, Yuan Shu also promoted pork that only the poor ate in this era by inviting the wealthy gentry from all over the world. After this thing was made by a chef specially trained by Yuan Shu, the families in Jingzhou were satisfied, and when they learned afterwards that it was pork, they were all shocked. Next, Yuan Shu passed on the smell of gelding pigs, the benefits of captive pigs, and the preparation methods of these dishes.

There is no way, there are too few pigs in this era, and the people raise mostly cattle and sheep, and pork is called cheap food, and only the poor eat it. Yuan Shuke knows that raising pigs is much more cost-effective than raising sheep, even if pork is not as good as beef and mutton, it is also meat! And there is nothing wrong with pork, so Yuan Shucai personally went out and promoted it from top to bottom to change people's prejudice against pork.

All in all, although Yuan Shu had a lot of fun on this trip, he didn't pull down any of the business, and on the whole, it was very profitable, and it was not as extravagant and wasteful as Cao Cao said.
