After Xiahou Nan finished writing the note and left a personal token, Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing his sad and indignant face, Liu Qi smiled and said: "Gongzi doesn't have to be like this, in the future, Jingzhou's medicinal materials, jewelry, and Du Kang wine will be resold by you to the Central Plains, and you will never suffer a loss." ”

"Really?" Xiahou Nan was pleasantly surprised, incredulous: "What you said is true?" ”

Liu Qi sighed helplessly: "The world's richest people are all in the Central Plains and Jizhou, but unfortunately I can't make this money, so I have to make some difference from you!" ”

Xiahou Nan rubbed his hands excitedly, and remembered that Liu Qi loved money like life, and asked carefully: "I don't know the general...... How much do you want to earn? ”

"It's not much, I'll only add three percent to the cost, and it's guaranteed to be much lower than the Jingzhou price——"

Liu Qi made a look of regret and pain, bared his teeth and inhaled: "As for how much it can be sold, it all depends on the son's ability." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Xiahou Nan was overjoyed, his face was flushed, and he shouted excitedly: "I want as much as I want!" ”

During this trip to Xiangyang, although Xiahou Nan saw a lot of novelties, he couldn't operate them in the Central Plains, such as those pearls, corals, ivory from South Vietnam, poisonous sandalwood, and Du Kang wine from Xiangyang, and he couldn't take it out, let alone make money.

I thought that this time I would raise my eyebrows, gain Cao Cao's trust, find a way to open up trade routes, and send people to buy transshipment, but I didn't think that Liu Qi would agree to supply, isn't this pie in the sky?

Although in today's war era, the people are hungry, and the Central Plains was once ten rooms and nine empty, but Xiahou Nan knew that this had no impact on those wealthy families.

Those who can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes are the people, and the wealthy families still have enough money and food, and even rot and mold, and these goods have nothing to do with ordinary people, and making money is not a problem.

Liu Qi said with a smile: "What I want is not money, but strange goods from the north, such as animal skins, medicinal materials, pig iron, horses, etc......."

"This ......" Xiahou Nan was stunned, "the rest is easy to do, but this horse may not work, this is a weapon, the prime minister strictly ordered not to sell it privately, at least it will be raided, and at worst it will be beheaded." ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "I don't have to ask for horses, it's just that it has the highest value and is convenient for trading!" There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that if there are people with a heart, it depends on whether the son can act at the opportunity and operate in the dark. ”

Xiahou Nan's heart was moved for a while, but he also knew that the stakes were very high, and he even betrayed the country, so he didn't dare to agree easily, and hugged his fists and said: "I'll do my best." ”

Liu Qi sighed: "Now the two armies are fighting, the war is not just one day, although you and I are our own masters, but the goods do not distinguish between the enemy and me, let alone the people." After going back this time, I am going to give up Yexian County and set this place as a market, so that I can communicate with the merchants of the Central Plains, and I will have to rely on the mediation of my son at that time. ”

"Wrap it up on me!" Such a good thing, Xiahou Nan is naturally happy to see it come true, and vows: "The prime minister has good wine, and he never forgets the Jiangnan fruit, just a transaction, I don't think he will refuse." ”

The discussion has been decided, Liu Qi wants to hold a banquet to suppress the shock, Xiahou Nan is in a hurry to get back the fat, and he doesn't want to be seen by the people of Jiangdong, so he swept away the depression of redemption just now, and left in a hurry.

Liu Qi took the note and flicked it lightly with his fingers, and said with a smug smile: "I can't make money in the north, so why don't I get a general agent?" ”

Xiahou Nan is such a talent, even if he doesn't want to come out, he is reluctant to kill him.

Xiahou Nan returned to Qibao Mountain overnight, and under Xu Shu's arrangement, he risked his life to sneak into the camp, rescued more than 200 Cao Jun who did not want to be a soldier anymore, and then pretended to set fire to rob the horses and fled down the mountain.

When he went down the mountain, it was already normal time, hiding in a mountain col to rest, Xiahou Nan told everyone that he had suffered this defeat for the first time he led the army, and he was ashamed in his heart, so he took the risk to save people.

After this incident, he no longer wanted to stay in the army, so that everyone who did not want to follow him went to flee for his life, and his peers who were willing to follow him to do business would help escort the goods in the future, and they would not have to live this precarious life again.

Cao Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, some of them were forcibly recruited, some were forced by life, for a bite to eat, they had long been war-weary, and now Xiahou Nan saved them, provided a job, and expressed their loyalty to repay the favor.

In this era of war and chaos, it is not easier to become a cronie and retinue of a wealthy family than to be an official with filial piety, not to mention that Xiahou Nan's identity is second only to Cao Pi.

Xiahou Nan took more than 200 people as henchmen, passed through the territory of Chaohu, saw many deserters along the way, all embarrassed, only to know that Cao's army was defeated again, and the remnants of the army had retreated to Hefei.

Everyone secretly said that it was lucky, whether these people escaped or returned to the army, they didn't want to have a good life within a year, but they could follow Xiahou Nan to eat and drink spicy food.

Xiahou Nan arrived in Hefei and came to see Cao Cao, at this time the city was full of soldiers who had fled back, and no one would ask him how to return to the city, as long as he could come back alive, it was a blessing.

Cao Jun's navy was killed by Zhou Yu in Chaohu, and Cao Cao was chased thousands of miles, if it wasn't for Cao Ren's timely arrival, he almost lost Hefei.

Cao Cao was lying on the bed, and now he felt undulating and shaking, and he couldn't sleep steadily, but when he saw Xiahou Nan coming, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that Zilin is back, it's good to come back!" ”

Xiahou Nan said: "Now the war is unfavorable, there are many losses of grain, grass and weapons, and the affairs of the army, the son-in-law can't help, but I hope to share the worries of the prime minister." When I returned to Xuchang this time, I wanted to empty the wallets of those wealthy families and use them as military funds. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Zilin must not be reckless, the previous fundraising, the officials have been dissatisfied, if you forcibly collect donations again, there will be chaos." ”

"The son-in-law is not trying to take advantage of it!" Xiahou Nan told Liu Qi's money-making plan, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Although the little son-in-law knows that industry and commerce are the worms of the society and are despised by others, but for the great cause of the prime minister, he is willing to bear the infamy and vow not to give up!" ”

Cao Cao smiled with relief and advised: "It is rare for Zilin to have such filial piety, businessmen are more treacherous, and the same as using soldiers, you must be more cautious, so as not to be counted." ”

Xiahou Nan smiled confidently, patted his chest and said: "Although the little son-in-law doesn't know anything about marching and fighting, but doing business and making money, how flexible my brain is, the prime minister knows." Those who can calculate me have not yet been born! ”

Cao Cao admires the confident and heroic man the most, although Xiahou Nan seems to be not doing his job, but money and food are indeed the most important in the army, it is rare for him to have this responsibility, and he has earned a million dollars in just a few months, which shows his ability.

sighed: "In ancient times, there was Tao Zhugong, and now there is Xiahou Nan!" Although you can do it with confidence, when I calm the world, I will correct your name, and you should be my Cao family Xiao He is here! ”

Xiahou Nan was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "The son-in-law has set a small goal: earn him 100 million first!" ”

Cao Cao said again: "You trade with Jingzhou, and I have a confidential arrangement: you can insert henchmen to infiltrate the caravan and find out more news about Jingzhou." If you get important information, you will do a great job. ”

This time, Liu Qi increased his troops in Jiangling and prepared to attack Yizhou, but Xuchang did not know about it, indicating that Jingzhou's details had made an accident and must be redeployed.

"Yes!" Xiahou Nan was excited and proud in his heart.

In addition to making money, he has another layer of secret identity, which was personally appointed by the prime minister.
