Chapter 56: Money Makes Up for It
To accept the younger brother, you must give some sweetness first.
Jiangling was not short of food, but lacked confidence, Guan Ping's arrival proved that Cao Jun could open up the waterway, and his deference made Chen Qun very face-saving, and these boats of grain were simply given to Guan Ping.
Well, it's not my family's own food anyway, and when the time comes, I can fool the past by casually talking about people's hearts and things like that in front of Cao Gong.
Guan Ping didn't expect that there would be such a generous ghost talent, so he quickly kowtowed again and again, Chen Qun became more and more proud, called his personal entourage, gave Guan Ping his warrant, and told Guan Ping that if he had something, he could come to him to solve it.
After finishing these things, Chen Qun's celebrity style had another attack, and he didn't bother to continue to talk to Guan Ping.
He flicked his sleeves and said in his heart that it was so easy for me to do things, this is the difference between celebrities and ordinary people.
Many years ago, Chen Qun also had a period of time with the impoverished Liu Bei, at that time Liu Bei was like a headless fly, surrounded by a group of martial artists, and the scribes were either rotten Confucians, or Chen Deng, a man of the lake and the sea.
Chen Qun's posture of turning over today's knots is to learn from Liu Bei, but he still can't eat and live with these martial artists like Liu Bei and sleep on his feet.
Hey, forget it, so be it.
With Chen Qun's help, Guan Ping quickly found a place to stay.
Chen Qun rewarded Guan Ping with a total of 3,000 stone of grain from three ships in recognition of the bravery of his soldiers, and Guan Ping couldn't help but feel a little upset when he looked at Bai Huahua's grain.
At that time, when attacking Wenpin, it took so much effort to snatch a ship's grain, and it was better to be a celebrity, not even looking at it, and giving away the grain casually.
This is the legendary celebrity demeanor, learn, learn endlessly.
With so much food in place, Guan Ping discussed with Ma Liang a little and decided to leave only one percent of the rations for emergencies, and the rest ......
It's all sold.
The surrounding Cao soldiers heard that someone was open to sell grain, and their eyes were straight.
There was a serious shortage of food in those years, and food was better than money. Even if this naval army can eat military rations after going ashore, it will also face the deduction of the officials.
So much grain can solve a big problem, even if you have to sell some of it, why sell it all.
When they heard that Yun Shan was a Jingzhou bandit who had just surrendered, their faces suddenly showed disdain.
Loser.
Sure enough, it's a bandit.
Hearing that there was food to buy, everyone around them took out money and cloth to buy a large amount, and Cai Mao and Cao Hong's subordinates reached a rare agreement, and they all looked for opportunities to quickly spend the money in their hands.
Because it is a seller's market, Ma Liang and Wang Mo, who came forward instead of Guan Ping, can naturally take it calmly.
First of all, he said, you should never want money that is not enough weight, and you should not want cloth mixed with water, you can do it yourself.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while-
This brings us to the current state of the economy.
The Han Dynasty has been using five-baht money for a long time, according to archaeological discoveries, a five-baht coin in the heyday of the Han Dynasty has about 10g, "big five texts, no articles, good meat without wheels", can be called a work of art. Later, the second emperor of Huan Ling began to mess around for some inconvenient reason, and the single weight was reduced to 4.3g, which is barely reasonable.
But then Mr. Dong changed all this, he first kicked the accelerator to get out 0.5g of money, and then he couldn't get enough of it, and actually came up with fake money doped with lead and tin, which directly exploded the germ of the ancient commodity economy.
But Mr. Dong has not jumped for a few years, theoretically Cao Cao still has a chance to change all this, but as we all know, Cao Cao is a literati, not an economist, he has been working hard for so many years, and he is satisfied with soldiers and food, in the 17th year after Dong Zhuo abolished the five-baht coin, that is, this year, Cao Cao, who had just become the prime minister, suddenly patted his head.
Damn, I've forgotten to mint coins for so many years!
Forgot about minting!
So Prime Minister Cao hurriedly "used five baht coins", wanting to try to look as normal as when he was a child, and lay a good foundation for some unspeakable things in the future.
But Cao Cao, who didn't understand economics, was stunned to find that I had recovered the five baht money, but no one used it......
This is because in the first year of Jian'an, in order to save the Han at the end of luck, Cao Cao decided to accept the advice of several strategists with distinctive personalities and start Tuntian!
Tuntian's policy did provide Cao Jun with a large amount of military rations, which became the key to their victory, but the problem is, all the grain has become Cao Cao's military supplies, there is nothing on the market, and the money is of any use under severe deflation?
Prime Minister Cao Cheng didn't understand military affairs, and his subordinates were like Jeffrey Sachs at the level of economic development, so he had no choice but to open up and leave the problem to his son and grandson, and Cao Wei didn't solve it when he was finished.
Now Ma Liang said, Lao Tzu only needs money, a copper coin of sufficient value, if you can't take it out, don't stay here, leave it to those in need.
Guan Ping's gaze penetrated the crowd and landed on Cai Mao in the distance, Cai Mao was thrilled by this mysterious look, and couldn't help but come out of the crowd, and said proudly:
"I want it all!"
As we all know, the Yellow Turban in Jingzhou is not very fierce, and he did not meet Mr. Dong, and Cao Cao and others did not involve them in the Central Plains War before.
This place lacks salt and horses, and water transportation is developed, so it is impossible to engage in a commodity economy, Liu Biao hoarded money everywhere when he was there, and the families in Jingzhou used trade to make a lot of money, and they were not short of money.
It doesn't matter if Cao Jun can't afford it, I have money, I have a premium, I want it all.
The best good rice on the market is only 400 yuan a stone, and Cai Mao will be all-inclusive at the highest price.
He didn't taste the fact that he was deliberately angry with these untouchable soldiers of the Northern Army, he wanted to prove one thing before-
Mix with my surname Cai, in order to be well fed and clothed, in Jingzhou, I have the final say.
He walked up to Guan Ping with a pleasant face, staring at Guan Ping's Danfeng eyes, which were quite similar to Guan Yu, and the smile on his face was quite sincere.
"The virtuous nephew's business is easy to do, how about this money, how about my uncle send it to you?"
Guan Ping couldn't see Cai Mao's thoughts, and he said in a low voice:
"Thank you uncle, if you still have business in the future, please ask your uncle to ......"
"Hehe, let's get rich together."
Hey, the more Cai Mao looked, the more she felt that Guan Ping was pleasing to the eye, and she felt that the decision she had just made was too correct.
Killing Guan Ping is better than turning his face with Liu Bei and blocking all his back roads, which is good for Cao Cao, but not good for himself, it is better for everyone to do business honestly together, of course they have to earn money together.
Guan Ping and Ma Liang glanced at each other, got up quietly and said:
"Today, my uncle takes care of the business so much, and the little nephew naturally can't ask for too much money, otherwise he will be reprimanded by the elders. The total price of these 2,700 stone grains is 1.08 million yuan, how about the little nephew selling it to his uncle for a fraction? ”
"Oh, hehe, what the virtuous nephew said is right, then I'm not welcome. A million yes, I'm ......."
"Where's Uncle?" Guan Ping smiled, "It's clearly 180,000, did my uncle miscalculate?" ”
180,000!
Cai Mao was taken aback slightly, and then hesitated.
Buy and sell, each takes what he needs, and each does not owe to each other.
But these 2,700 stone grain and rice are only sold for 180,000 yuan, which is basically no different from giving it away for nothing.
Cai Mao knew that there was no food for nothing in the world, his breathing was slightly heavy, and he stared at Guan Ping's eyes calmly, trying to see what the eldest nephew was thinking.
It took a long time for him to let out a breath of turbidity.
"What the virtuous nephew said is right, I'm old, this is all wrong."
