Ye County, since it was opened as a market by Liu Qi, has become a city that never sleeps.

At the beginning, no one cared about the shops and fields, and later it was difficult to find a room, and even a stall on the street exceeded the price of a room in Xuchang.

Here, as long as you don't violate the law and order, kill people, and enter and exit freely, people from all over the world gather here.

If you want to say that the man of the year in Ye County, it is none other than Xiahou Nan, this person has the means to the sky, he is not only Cao Cao's son-in-law, but also has a good relationship with Jingzhou officials and businessmen, and he is like a fish in water.

But all the goods from the south of the Yangtze River, the first batch will go to Xiahou Nan's hands first, and the rest will be selected by other merchants.

Now Cao Cao has taken the position of Duke of Wei, and Xiahou Nan, as the eldest son-in-law, has risen again, and the official worships Wei Fengche Zhonglang General.

While everyone was envious, they were also very puzzled, Xiahou Nan only cared about collecting money in Ye County, which really damaged the prestige of the Jiangmen, and he could even be a high-ranking official.

You must know that Cao Pi is only an official and a general, and the two are not equal in official positions, and among the young children, Xiahou Nan's status is second only to Cao Pi.

Confusion turned incomprehension into jealousy, and the people scolded and despised Xiahou Nan, thinking that this person was flattering and had no real talent, and even made a living, but also imitated Liu Qi, followed the example of Dong Shi, and picked up people's teeth.

For all kinds of discussions, Xiahou Nan just smiled faintly, stroked the mountains of money tickets in the room, and sneered: "Others laugh at me for eating leftovers, and I laugh at others for having empty pockets." ”

Just yesterday, a blood coral that had just been transported from Jiaozhou, the size of a carriage, was priceless, and caused a sensation in Ye County, but everyone shook their heads and sighed, no one could afford it.

Only Xiahou Nan waved his hand, bought it, and ordered someone to send it to Yecheng as a congratulatory gift for Cao Cao to ascend to the throne of Wei.

This kind of courage makes others greedy but helpless, so they can only scold this son for being a loser and incompetent, and he will only slap the horse.

Holding a glow-in-the-dark glass and drinking wine, Mei Zizi thought that Cao Cao had returned from the Northern Expedition, and when she saw such a gift, she would have some praise, but she saw that the family was about to break in.

Xiahou Nan said unhappily: "What's the alarm? ”

The general replied: "Our vehicle was detained by General Zhang Liao in Kunyang, saying that no outsiders were allowed to enter, and only a few of us were allowed to drive. ”

"Bastard!" Xiahou Nan was furious: "Such a big blood coral, if it weren't for those professional jewelers, who of ours would be able to assemble it?" ”

The general explained: "The little one explained again and again, but General Zhang didn't listen, suspecting that there were spies involved, and if he said more, he would be beheaded!" ”

"How can it be!" Xiahou Nan took the case and scolded: "Ye County's money and grain last month were still funded by Lao Tzu alone, Zhang Liao turned his face and didn't recognize people, good, good!" ”

The general asked, "What should I do now?" ”

Xiahou Nan walked back and forth like a trapped beast, he had no military power in his hands, let alone interfere in the military, he was helpless against Zhang Liao, thought for a while, and ordered: "Go to Zihuan immediately and ask him to help me find a way, it's really not good...... Let's just say that this blood coral is the filial piety of the two of us. ”

The general took the order and left, Xiahou Nan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the fat on his face twitched in distress, that was a whole 100 million yuan, half a year's income!

"Someone!" The more Xiahou Nan thought about it, the more angry he became, and called the housekeeper to instruct: "From this month onwards, stop supplying all the food and salary to Runan, this money is to feed the dogs, and I will never give Zhang Liao again!" ”

The housekeeper was surprised and said: "Childe, this is a good thing that the prime minister agrees to reward you, if you cut off the supply, I am afraid that the prime minister will be dissatisfied." ”

Xiahou Nan clenched his fists and was angry, and at this moment, Zhang Wei asked to see him and brought him in first.

Zhang Wei looked at Xiahou Nan's angry face, and said suspiciously: "Gongzi just bought a coral, and he will be favored by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, why are you angry?" ”

"Hmph, don't mention it!" Xiahou Nan waved his hand and asked: "I have a lot of money recently, I don't know where to spend it, and I am afraid that the prime minister will blame me for using it indiscriminately, do you have an idea?" ”

Since meeting Zhang Wei again, Xiahou Nan has been doing everything smoothly and his business has been prosperous.

Many of the ideas were planned by Zhang Wei for him, and he could provide information, although the two were not subordinate, but Xiahou Nan regarded him as a confidant and relied on him very much.

"Childe, what you say ......" Zhang Wei looked shocked.

"Don't worry, your benefits are indispensable." Xiahou Nan knows that this person loves money like life, as long as he gives money, he can play with it.

Zhang Wei really looked happy, thought for a moment and said: "The prime minister has become a duke, and he is discussing the matter of moving the capital to Luoyang, I heard that there is a shortage of funds in the court, if the prince can fund the repair of the palace, wouldn't it be a matter of fame and fortune?" ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Xiahou Nan stroked his palms and laughed: "If I invest in the repair of the palace, Luoyang will have a place at that time, and the Xiahou family will be even more prosperous." ”

Zhang Wei said again: "Such a big event, don't forget the eldest son of the Cao family." ”

Xiahou Nan realized that Cao Pi was about to become the prince, and this matter could not be without his benefits, so he immediately ordered the housekeeper to inquire about the news, and then discussed the matter of capital contribution with Cao Pi.

But with a matter on his mind, Xiahou Nan was in a good mood, poured a glass of wine for Zhang Wei, and took out a few money tickets and handed them over: "You are looking for me today, what do you have to discuss?" ”

"There's important information!" Zhang Wei slapped his forehead and said in a low voice: "Liu Qi has been moving again recently. ”

"Oh?" Xiahou Nan looked around and asked, "What is the military situation?" ”

Zhang Weiyan said: "Half a month ago, Liu Qi and Sun Quan had a secret meeting in Fankou, and recently they have transferred troops in Jiangxia, and the movement is suspicious. ”

"A secret meeting with Sun Quan?" Xiahou Nan was taken aback, "Is the news accurate?" ”

"It's true, that boat boy has already been bought by me!" Zhang Wei nodded seriously, and then patted the money ticket on the table and complained: "In fact, all this money is used to buy intelligence, and I don't have much left, I really use my son's money to do things for my son!" ”

"Understood, understood!" Xiahou Nan took out another pile and handed it over, "What is the purpose of them transferring troops to Jiangxia?" ”

Zhang Wei put it away, shook his head and said: "This is a major military incident, unless you can talk to the high-level people in Jingzhou, the rest of you don't know about it." ”

Xiahou Nan said unhappily: "How much does it cost, you can tell me directly!" ”

Zhang Wei shook his head helplessly: "It's useless how much money you have!" ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Nan was dissatisfied: "Is there anything in this world that can't be done with money? How tall are you talking about the high-rise? ”

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly: "At least as high as Guan Yu, the guard general of Nanyang." ”

"Uh......" Xiahou Nan was a little speechless, and couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time, so he suddenly touched his chin and said to himself: "I heard that Guan Yu has a little girl, who is twenty-eight years old, and if I can ...... Wouldn't it be possible to find out Jingzhou's military secrets? ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes, and he hugged his fists and smiled: "Guan Yu is just a martial artist, with his son Yushu Linfeng, after the famous family, he accepts Guan Yu's daughter as a concubine, which is to give him face." ”

"Really?" Xiahou Nan was pleasantly surprised, and said after a while: "You ask someone to find relatives and talk to the matchmaker, if you can do this, you will be rewarded!" ”

"You are really ......" Zhang Wei's eyes widened: "Childe really gave Guan Yu face?" ”

"That's nature!" Xiahou Nan sighed angrily: "For the sake of national affairs, I have no choice but to compromise!" ”
