Xuchang.

Tian Yu and Chen Su successfully returned to the imperial court to restore their lives, which made them physically and mentally exhausted.

Communicating with Liu Bei is much simpler.

It was only after meeting Liu Mang that they felt what the real negotiation hell was.

Liu Mang, who has always been in a strong position, directly grasped the right to speak in the negotiations, and did not give them room for bargaining at all.

From beginning to end, Liu Mang only insisted on one thing, and that was a one-time tariff.

Tian Yu knew better than anyone the current situation of the Han merchants before.

Why can a bottle of peach wine go from Xiliang to Luoyang, and the price soars 40 times after traveling to several places?

At least in Dahan, every time they cross a pass, officials have to collect a tax for local taxes.

This also led to a frenzied increase in prices by merchants.

There is no way, if the price is not increased, the final result is to lose money and make money.

It doesn't matter if Shu brocade and Shu salt are, after all, the unit price of one is high enough, and the other purely depends on the volume.

Liu Mang's idea is very simple, break down tariff barriers, and only charge one-tenth of the price of goods tariffs.

Of course, in order to make Cao Cao feel good, Liu Mang deliberately laid a trap, that is, the tariff policies of the two sides are the same, at least on the surface, it looks very fair.

Tian Yu informed Cao Cao of Liu Mang's conditions.

"King Wei, in Chengdu and Jiangling, Liu Bei's father and son's conditions are these."

Tian Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, while Chen Su waited for Cao Cao's orders on the side.

"It sounds like Liu Mang'er is a little sincere, and the tariffs on both sides seem to be exactly the same."

Cao Cao just felt that something was wrong, but he hadn't thought of exactly where it was.

"Father, since Liu Mang has shown sincerity, we might as well agree first!"

"After all, Xuzhou Zangba, now he has to focus on appeasement."

Thinking of the test left by his father Cao Cao, Cao Pi was very helpless.

Sending troops to conquer is not his specialty, and fighting with Zang Ba in Xuzhou will only benefit Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Fortunately, Sima Yi has already planned everything for him, and if he can succeed, he can solve the matter of Xuzhou's secession without blood.

Jia Xu has seen through all this, but the treacherous and cunning Jia Wenhe will only seek himself, and will not be selfless and dishonest.

"Liu Changqing is really smart, only charging tariffs once, and retaining the value of goods to the greatest extent."

"It seems that selling to the Central Plains maintains the original price of the goods, but it reduces the taxes of several checkpoints, and the profits can be increased a lot."

"Shu Jinshu salt and other commodities are all in demand in the Central Plains, and what commodities in the Central Plains can be sold to Jingxiang, Yizhou and Jiaozhou?"

"The so-called fair tariff policy, there is no fairness at all!"

Jia Xu's heart is like a mirror, he is as steady as an old dog, Cao Cao doesn't answer him if he doesn't ask.

After Jiang Ji's previous remote fight with Liu Mang, he already understood that the other party was by no means in vain.

"King Wei, the tariff matter, I don't think I can easily agree."

"Oh? What is Zitong's opinion? ”

Cao Cao looked at Jiang Ji with a smile, but his cold smile made Jiang Ji a little scared.

After all, he gave you Jiang Ji a chance before, but he lost everything, so that Cao Cao had to buy Shu brocade and Shu brocade again.

to appease the anger of the people and the nobles.

"I just think that Liu Changqing's move is definitely not for the so-called fairness!"

"If in the future, Liu Bei's side has more goods sold into the Central Plains, without the protection of tariffs, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist ......"

Jiang Ji has already smelled a hint of abnormality, Liu Mang wants to use the tariff game to seize the Central Plains market.

But he has always been limited to the times, and he can't see the essence clearly through the surface.

Even Jia Xu can only see a rough idea.

Sima Yi was also thinking about it, he only needed to learn the internal affairs of the military division, but now he had to rack his brains to try to keep up with Liu Mang's rhythm.

"Zitong, Liu Mang's conditions, we can only agree first."

Cao Cao sighed: "As for the Central Plains in the future, how to resist Liu Mang's tricks depends on you and others." ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi by the way, and the next thing is a war between the two of you as sons without gunpowder.

He is already dying, and he can only pave the way for Cao Pi as much as possible.

As for how far he can go on this road, it depends on Cao Pi's own ability.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Liu Xie was in a good mood, and heard that Liu Mang gave Cao Cao a headache again.

was even so angry that Cao Pi smashed objects in the mansion many times.

"Imperial Doctor, Brother Changqing, is it more suitable to be an emperor than me?"

Liu Xie smiled jokingly, "I'm afraid I'm the most emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I was born a puppet!" ”

Ji Ping hurriedly stepped forward to be relieved, "Your Majesty must not be presumptuous!" If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the Han country would have been gone! ”

Liu Xie nodded, he only hoped that Liu Beihuang's uncle and father and son would be able to recover the Central Plains people as soon as possible and let him gain freedom.

Even if you give up this throne!

……

Gangneung.

After waiting for a month, Liu Mang finally got a reply from Cao Cao.

On behalf of the imperial court, the king of Wei agreed to Liu Mang's tariff policy, and the two sides remained consistent.

"Cao Cao has been fooled, or he has no choice."

"But the Central Plains has completely become a dumping ground for our goods."

"Mr. vigorously develops the handicraft industry in Chengdu, and our other handmade products are all of high quality and low price."

"Two uncles, it's up to you next, gradually increase the export category, don't let Cao Cao react."

Mi Zhu Mi Fang bowed his hand, and the two of them took the order and left!

After repairing in Gangneung for more than half a year, I finally survived to see the day of Yunkai!

Economic warfare is the easiest time-consuming, but fortunately, Liu Mang has markets in Jiangdong, Western Regions, Kushan, and Daqin.

In the end, only Cao Cao couldn't stand it, and it was not easy to make the traitor make concessions.

"Childe's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Pang Tong held a wine gourd, but lost his former happiness.

Since Liu Mang came to Jiangling, his wine gourd has been replaced with water.

"Sir, please speak, Changqing listens."

"First, it is to confuse Cao Cao with the policy of tariffs, which is suitable for him to fall into the trap of economic warfare!"

"Central Plains, so far we can only continue to import, and there is no hope for export!"

Pang Tong looked at the stunned Gan Ning, and sighed: "Xingba, this is for you and General Zhang!" ”

Zhang Fei stared at his bronze bell-like eyes and retorted: "I don't want to know, chicken boy, shut up!" ”

Gan Ning smiled helplessly: "Please continue to speak, sir." ”

Pang Tong nodded with satisfaction, "Second, the tariff policy of Cao Cao and the prince has offended Sun Quan!" ”

"Let's ask Cao Cao to treat him so differently, how can Sun Quan not send someone to ask?"

"Do you think Cao Cao will give Sun Quan a good face? Although the two sides will not go to war immediately, with Sun Quan's character, once the hatred is deep, it will not be easily resolved. ”

Everyone immediately woke up to the fact that one day Sun Quan would choose to backstab Cao Cao!

Liu Mang's hand is playing in the hands of the two males and the palms!

"Next, the next step in the economic war, let's control the numbers!"
