Yuan Yun glanced at the list made by Zhuge Liang, and the most eye-catching was the Xin family, because this surname is relatively unique, so it is always impressive.

Today's Xin family is most famous for Xin Ping and his brother Xin Bi, but the elder brother's bad luck took refuge in Yuan Shao, and later Yecheng was besieged, Cao Cao sent his brother Xin Bi to persuade him to surrender, but he was informed by the trial of the defending city, so Xin Ping and his family were all beheaded.

However, because of this, his younger brother Xin Bi has gained trust, and now he has developed into a big family in Yecheng, and their family is especially favored by Cao Ren, so they are naturally Cao Pi's supporters.

The Xin clan has continued to develop in the mining industry in recent years, and now it is even bigger than the Guo clan in the north, especially in the iron mine, almost monopolizing all the weapon forging of Cao Cao's subordinate corps.

"Although our military construction in Luoyang is the best, the imperial court has too many restrictions on us, so it is natural for us to be surpassed by the Xin clan in terms of military construction."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he shook the feather fan and continued: "Now the main financial support on Cao Pi's side is the Xin family, not only that, after Xincheng moved to Luoyang, we neglected a major event. ”

Yuan Yun was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and wondered: "What is negligent?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and replied: "We did not continue to follow up on the matter of the salt industry, but handed it over to the imperial court for control, and the imperial court is now almost controlled by Cao Pi, so it was soon handed over to the Xin family to take care of, which is not a small amount than money, Cao Pi is relying on this income, so after the defeat of Cao Ren's many industries, it can still be supported."

The reason why the Xin clan was hostile to Luoyang was also a confused account back then, when we first captured Yecheng, they were in the list of the raiders, which made the two sides become a fire and water. ”

Yuan Yun listened to Zhuge Liang's words, but was silent for a moment, and then replied lightly: "It seems that we didn't completely raid the house at the beginning, but they can develop again, this time we want to be thorough, don't you like to go against us, then start with their strongest business."

Although Luoyang has not dealt with the salt industry anymore, we have the right to sell, and when it comes to the speed and quality of salt production, I am afraid that even ten Xin families cannot compare to Luoyang.

As for the forging of weapons sold to the military, this is even more incomparable, the imperial court restricts us from firearms, but does not limit swords, bows and crossbows, in the past we just felt that the profit was not large, and the steelmaking process was not very perfect at that time, so we were reluctant to sell, now as long as we let go, Luoyang began to accept the military's weapons order, to ensure that no one will buy Xin's broken copper and iron again.

Xin's two industries are broken, where do they have any income, and then they have to check their accounts, the sale of salt is indeed very profitable, but since Cao Pi wants to take money from it, there will inevitably be bad debts, especially I heard that he has recently been making a large number of so-called gunpowder in Xudu, which is quite a waste of money. ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled in an instant: "The lord is not authentic, using that fake formula to deceive Cao Pi, he must be crazy now, this is really a waste of money." ”

Zhuge Liang's words fell, and the two of them immediately laughed a few times.

When Yuan Yun finally took a breath, his face sank, and he said, "Let's go and make some small trouble for the Xin clan first, let them turn their attention to other places, and then I will send someone to get their account books, and then completely destroy the source of Cao Pi's funds." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "A few of the Xin's gentlemen are now in Yecheng, and they are also very fond of making trouble, Xiaoliu has nothing to do recently, so it is better to let him go and greet him." ”

When Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, he immediately glanced at Xiao Liu behind him, and then said with a smile: "Break their legs, if there are any people who are not interested, they will be killed, Ben Hou wants to kill a few children who have no reputation, it shouldn't be too much, right?" ”

Xiao Liu smiled, then hugged his fists and replied: "I'm bored, then I'll go and come back with a few legs." ”

When Xiao Liu was about to walk out, Yuan Yun added: "Remember to call me this time, we don't have to hide it." ”

Seeing that Xiao Liu casually beckoned a few guards to leave the gate of the mansion, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "After striking the Xin family, I believe that those people around Yecheng should be quieter, once they are afraid, it will inevitably form a split within them, after all, these clans are very knowledgeable about current affairs, and it is their inevitable choice to ensure the survival of the family." ”

Yuan Yun snorted, then pointed to the list and said: "There are more than a dozen written here, let's do half of it, any more I'm afraid it will cause panic, that will not be good for anyone." ”

While Yuan Yun and Zhuge Liang were discussing, Cao Cao was also discussing things with Hua Xin.

Hua Xin lived in Luoyang for half a year before, and what he saw and heard was still full of praise even now, especially the five-body investment that he admired for Luoyang's productivity.

After Cao Cao finished flipping through the scroll in his hand, he sighed deeply and said: "These amazing skills are all out of the son-in-law of Lone, and Cao Ang is not involved in the slightest, which makes Lone very worried."

Cao Ang is good at everything, but he is too generous, relying on one person like this, after all, it is not a proper way, you must know that people's desires are unlimited, and when he feels that he can replace you, he will never bow down again. ”

Hua Xin shook his head and said: "The lord is wrong, I think Yuan Yun has no intention of being self-reliant, because I have never seen such a lazy person, but if there is a little trouble, he will hand it over to others to complete, he himself is at most the beginning, and in the end he ignores it, and all the follow-up matches are the prince Cao Ang in Zhang Luo, so even if there are many magical things in Luoyang, most of them are in the hands of the prince, so there is no need to worry about this."

Yuan Yunzhi's talents are mostly in manufacturing, anything that we seem ordinary or useless, as long as he turns around in his hands, he can turn waste into treasure in an instant, these talents can indeed not be ignored, but he himself is full of inertia, and he is not good at leading troops, and he is not good at martial arts, and his ambition is even more nonsense, which must be more clear to the lord, so I conclude that he will not be disadvantageous to the prince. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while and suddenly smiled, and said: "This skinny monkey is really ambitious, but Lone just doesn't want to see someone better than Lone's son, it seems that he really thinks too much."

But thinking about it like this, Lone was very surprised, how could there be such a contradictory person in this world, with such great ability, but no ambition at all, it was because of this that the old man was confused. ”

Hua Xin said with a smile: "Yuan Yunnai is a child of the Immortal Family, aren't they all pure hearts and few desires?" It's understandable that you can't figure it out, and the lord doesn't need to worry too much. ”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Wasn't the Yellow Turban Rebellion the ghost behind their Immortal Family's back, but I was worried that Yuan Yun was also a pawn placed by the Immortal Family among us, if this is true, I am afraid that this world is not comparable to the Yellow Turban Rebellion." ”

When Hua Xin heard the words of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, his temples couldn't help jumping, and the evil consequences caused by the chaos that stirred up the world are still fresh in his memory, and he still feels frightened every time he thinks about it.

"Since the lord is so worried, it is better to put Guo Fengxiao by Yuan Yun's side, here I dare to guarantee that Fengxiao's loyalty can be learned, with him by Yuan Yun's side, there will be no chaos." After Hua Xin finished speaking, he naturally stood up, waiting for Cao Cao's decision.

Cao Cao was stunned, and then laughed out loud in an instant, and said: "As the so-called one thing descends one thing, Fengxiao can also be regarded as the nemesis of the lonely son-in-law, and this son-in-law is really a slippery person, if he sends someone else, he will definitely be played by this kid. I really don't know how Yuan Yun tossed him.

This time Yuan Yun came to Luoyang, but he brought a thousand Luoyang armor soldiers, which is definitely a powerful strength, and if he didn't put Fengxiao by his side, he was really afraid that he would set Lone's Yecheng on fire. ”

Hua Xin shook his head helplessly, and said: "Whether the prince can prove his strength now depends on Yuan Yun's performance in Yecheng, and it is a big hidden danger not to completely surrender these people with different intentions. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Gu has restored Cao Ren's official position and title, and now he should have crossed the river and is rushing to this battlefield, so Gu is waiting for the result of their battle." ”

When Hua Xin left Cao Cao's study, he only felt a cold sweat on his back, after all, what he just discussed was about Cao Cao's heir, which is a very dangerous thing in itself, once it is too deeply involved, there will definitely be no good results, as a wise man like Hua Xin, he naturally understands the reason.

"Thank you Brother Ziyu for your success, thank you here." Just when Hua Xin was worried about what happened just now, Guo Jia floated in, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling.

Hua Xin glanced at Guo Jia, immediately shook his head helplessly and sighed, and said: "You foolish person, you want to go to Luoyang but come to fight my idea, now this matter is done for you, and the kindness I owe you can be repaid, don't bother me again in the future." ”

Guo Jia smiled, hugged Hua Xin's neck, and then said very intimately: "Brother Ziyu, why are you so angry, I, Guo Fengxiao, will perform my duties well even if I go to Luoyang, if Yuan Xiaozi has any different intentions, I will not show mercy to my subordinates, I still have this reputation."

Now that the competition between Cao Ang and Cao Pi's sister-in-law has come to an end, I just stood on Cao Ang's side in advance, which is called early brightness...... Bah, I accidentally learned Yuan Xiaozi's tone, in short, I went to Luoyang at this time, but it was much better than Cao Ren and Cao Pi to go after they lost, and I didn't want to suffer, Ziyu helped me this time, and I will definitely help you later, Luoyang will always leave a place for you. ”

When Hua Xin heard the back, he was so angry that he could only point his finger at Guo Jia and keep pointing, and finally laughed angrily, shook his head and said: "You are a bad person, why did you learn Yuan Yun's set of philistines, I see you, sooner or later, you will be like Yuan Yun, and you will do those businessmen with a low identity, and now you are still planning to pull me into the water, you, you, you, ......."

Guo Jia didn't wait for Hua Xin to finish speaking, he had already left Hua Xin three steps, and then bowed to the ground, and said no more, turned around and left with a smile, looking very happy.
