Luoyang bazaar, noisy, shouting, one after another.

Walking out of Cao's Mansion and wandering around the east and west markets in Luoyang City, Cao Shuo was like a fish swimming from a stream into a big lake, opening his eyes, and even losing his direction all of a sudden...

"This is antiquity? This is Dahan's market? Cao Shuo exclaimed in his heart.

After studying this history for so many years, it really appeared in the ancient market, and everything is so familiar... It's so strange.

Cao Shuo's eyes were wide open, and he had to stroll around and take a look at every stall... If you have something you like, you don't hesitate to buy it.

The servant beside him, Ah Cai, protected his safety, took out the money bag and paid the stalls one by one. Among them, there are many stalls of Hu people and Tianzhu people... is particularly conspicuous, and Cao Shuo will always stop for a few more breaths.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and the trunk road of the land Silk Road was formed, from Kyoto to Dunhuang through the Hexi Corridor was connected into a whole, and countless aliens and Tianzhu people passed through this road to Luoyang to do business...

Hu people's costumes and Tianzhu acrobatics are all over the West Market, dazzling.

In one morning, Cao Shuo visited almost the entire market.

There are traffickers selling slaves in the East Market, including dark-skinned Hu people, white-skinned Tianzhu people, and even many young Han women; The West Market is full of rare gadgets, such as shiny cottage night pearls and precious scriptures all over the streets;

In addition, there are Tianzhu artists performing acrobatics, dromedaries brought by Xianbei people... It seems that the war between the Han and Xianbei did not affect the trade between the two sides in the slightest...

In addition, there are countless snacks in the old alley, and there is a group of children as old as Cao Shuo, who recruit dogs and cats to steal bird eggs in the alley, and occasionally there will be large-scale street battles... A lively scene.

"Hmm..."

Seeing this, even Ah Cai, the servant who accompanied Cao Shuo, couldn't help but sigh. "Meng De liked to come here to play when he was a child!"

Ah Cai is an old servant, about the same age as Cao Song, Cao Song grew up with him, and Cao Cao grew up watching him grow up... Now it's the turn to accompany the young master Cao Shuo...

"Daddy likes to come here, too? What does he play? Cao Shuo asked curiously.

From the history books, he only knew that Cao Cao was a "Warcraft boy" when he was a child... As for how far can the monster go? But no one explained in detail, and since Ah Cai mentioned this time, Cao Shuo couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, when your father was a child, don't mention it." Ah Cai shook his head, a hint of bitterness flashing across his cheeks. "Did you see the 'tongue-cutting' acrobatics performed by the Zhu people that day?"

"Hmm." Cao Shuo nodded, and looked at the few Tianzhu people with curly hair and blue eyes, big mouths, and high noses...

saw that they were cutting off their tongues with knives, and the audience on the side covered their mouths and held their breath in fright.

"Back then, your father Cao Cao... I snatched the 'fake tongue' that people used as props, and shouted, 'This is fake, they fool people...' and... I've been chased by these Tianzhu people for a few streets..."

"It's nothing, your dad went back to school and pretended that his tongue had fallen out... frightened his classmates Zhang Miao and Yuan Shu in a panic... For this reason, Taixue almost persuaded him to quit, but it was your grandfather who spent a lot of money to make this matter over! ”

Belch... Cao Shuo was slightly stunned.

At first glance? Ah Cai's words are very mysterious? Is Cao Cao such a person?

Twenty years later... The Cao Cao who commanded thousands of troops and horses, the Cao Cao who "sang about wine and the geometry of life"? Was it so unreliable when you were young?

Of course... Ah Cai has the most right to speak.

… Cao Cao was really so unreliable when he was a child... Typical stunned blue, Warcraft boy... Fighting, stealing, helping and helping, whoever has a funeral will come up and kowtow, and whoever holds a birthday banquet will squeeze in to pay homage... When you are hungry, you can find a banquet and sit down to eat, the host family can see the clues, and they dare not offend Cao Cao, just like paying "protection money" and consider themselves unlucky...

Ah Cai carefully told Cao Cao's absurd story when he was a child to Cao Shuo...

Cao Shuo couldn't help but be ashamed... This Nima is a typical "little pony brother"! I'm ashamed to have such a father!

Belch... It seems that the revitalization of the Cao family in a short period of time cannot be counted on by this "very cheating" father.

Thinking of this, Cao Shuo began to think about business...

You have to do business, you have to make money, you have to help Lao Cao's family fill the deficit in the treasury, and you have to have some savings in your pocket, always like others? How unconfident, as a newcomer in the 21st century, we must be self-reliant and self-reliant!

With this in mind, Cao Shuo nodded...

But then again... This is a business? Easy to say? What kind of business does it make money quickly?

When I think of this, I can't help but fall into deep thought.

In the fourth year of Light and Harmony, 181 A.D... If I am not mistaken, it is this year, the entire Han Dynasty will rise a burst of "Hu Feng", and the clothes, utensils, and dresses of the Hu people are almost popular in the entire Central Plains... But well, which month is all the rage? There is no record in the history books...

Cao Shuo began to deliberately observe the people's costumes and the stalls of the Hu people!

In the bazaar, people come and go, whether they are high-ranking officials and nobles or ordinary people... The costumes are still dominated by "curved deep clothes".

… In front of Hu Ren's stall, it can almost be described as "door to bird"... There's no business at all...

Judging from the things in front of us, we can see some clues - this "Hu Feng", so far, there is no sign of blowing.

"Reselling Hu people's utensils? There's a lot to be done! Cao Shuo nodded... I made up my mind.

"Scalping? Hu people's utensils? This unprovoked sentence surprised Ah Cai...

"Grandpa Cai? I want to buy some Hu people's utensils? Can you help me find a familiar businessman? Cao Shuo asked.

"Hu people's utensils?" Ah Cai looked around the West City. "On these stalls? Don't they all have Hu Shang? Which Hu Ren utensils do you like? The old servant bought it for the little master..."

"No, no, no... I want all the Hu people in Luoyang City. Cao Shuo waved his hand again and again.

Not? All? Ah Cai was a little puzzled... Old man Cao Song just walked on the front foot? Young Master Cao Shuo... Just buy so many Hu people's utensils? What does this mean?

"Young Master... This... I'm afraid the old slave's money is not enough..."Ah Cai weighed the money bag,

"Grandpa Cai, you just need to help me find a familiar businessman... I've figured out the rest! Cao Shuo's eyes widened, and he looked pleading.

Ah Cai couldn't resist him, so he could only agree.

Having said that, among the merchant class, there are really not many who have a good relationship with the Cao family... Stepmother Ding Hui's maiden family, Ding family, is one, but unfortunately the business is done in Qian County... In this way, there is only one person left who knows Cao Fu - the Zhen family.

Hereditary 2,000 Shi Yulu, the official "Shang Cai Ling", is also a big businessman in Jizhou, and his business is all over Luoyang, Yingchuan, and Runan's Zhen family...

Once, because of Cao Cao's affairs, the Zhen family had some dealings with the Cao family.
