Chapter 536 Guo Fengxiao is blinded by money (3/3)
Indeed, the top priority at the moment is the surrender of the Lu family to the Han Dynasty.
Whether the Lu family of Han Dynasty can surrender to the imperial court will also determine how much strength Cao Cao will invest in the future battle against Yuan Xi in Youzhou.
Thirty thousand Goguryeo troops may not sound like too much.
However, if we really go to the battlefield in Youzhou, it will most likely affect the entire battle situation.
Once a stalemate occurs, it may trigger a chain reaction in Xianbei, Bingzhou, Southern Xiongnu, Wuwan, and even the entire Jizhou region.
Of course Cao Cao didn't want to be in a stalemate with Yuan Xi. In his opinion, the battle against Youzhou must be successful in one battle and must not be delayed. For this reason, he almost mobilized the treasury offices of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, and what he did was
Quickly pacify. Therefore, this battle must be successful.
"By the way, Lu Bu's daughter seems to be called... Lu Lan?"
"ah?"
"That woman is quite extraordinary. She is known as the Lu family tiger in the Three Koreas.
I don't know when it will be, but I still need you to go through some troubles. You have been recovering well in Bailan Jingshe these two days, and I will keep you informed of the situation at any time."
"Here!"
When Cao Cao was about to leave, Cao Peng suddenly asked, "Uncle, who is Lu's envoy to the Han Kingdom?"
Cao Cao paused, glanced at Cao Peng, sighed and said, "That's Gao Shun."
There is endless sadness in the words.
Cao Peng knew that when Cao Cao besieged Lu Bu, he admired Gao Shun very much. He was even prepared to recruit Gao Shun to surrender, but he didn't want Cao Peng to get involved. Gao Shun eventually followed the Lu family and went overseas.
, go to Sanhan to fight for the world.
That sigh also contained dissatisfaction with Cao Peng.
But Cao Peng was also a little helpless.
Your old Cao is so lustful, how could I hand over Lu Bu's family to you? Not to mention anything else, after you captured Xiapi, you clearly promised Lu Bu's general Qin Yilu's wife Du to Guan Yu. As a result, you old man saw it
, and took the Du family directly to the room.
This also caused some conflicts between Cao Cao and Guan Yu.
This thing really does happen!
At least Cao Peng saw it with his own eyes...
Not only that, after Qin Yilu's death, Qin Yilu's son was also accepted by Cao Cao and treated as an adopted son. What was the child's name? Yes, Qin Lang! He seems to be eight years old now and is still living in Cao Cao's house. It is said that he is very popular with Cao Cao.
Speaking of it, Cao Cao is indeed good at this. Although he has an almost paranoid preference for ***, he is really good to those adopted children.
Cao Zhen before, Qin Lang now...
It is said that when Cao Cao accepted Qin Lang as his son, he wanted to change Qin Lang's name.
As a result, Du refused to obey, but Cao Cao actually had no objection and still let Qin Asu inherit his father Qin Yilu's surname. Qin Lang was eight years old, and Cao Cao was also looking for Mr. Enlightenment for him. But this time, Cao Peng was determined not to jump out.
Cao Chong's previous actions still made him feel sad to some extent. When he came to Xudu, Cao Peng didn't believe that Cao Chong didn't know. He actually came to visit him.
He is already ten years old!
It’s time to be sensible...
In fact, Cao Peng wronged Cao Chong.
Cao Cao secretly recruited Cao Peng to return, but few people knew about it.
Even Cao Chong didn't know that Cao Peng had arrived in Xudu. The reason why Cao Zhi knew it was because he was handling documents for Cao Cao and knew it unintentionally. Of course, Cao Zhi had an ulterior motive for coming to see Cao Peng.
So when they were parting, Cao Zhi asked Cao Cao: Father, I wonder if my son can visit his brother Cao?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Of course you can."
Cao Zhi is willing to contact Cao Peng, but Cao Cao is more willing to see it.
Because he has discovered the alienation between Cao Peng and Cao Chong. If Cao Chong was a child of an ordinary family, or if Cao Pi was alive, then Cao Cao would not necessarily object to the contact between Cao Peng and Cao Chong. But now, Cao Pi is dead, and who is the legitimate son?
, Cao Cao has not yet made a decision. Therefore, he does not want Cao Chong and Cao Peng to get too close. Because he is worried that Cao Peng will affect Cao Chong.
The greater Cao Peng's influence on Cao Chong, the easier it would be for something to happen.
Cao Cao didn't want to ruin Cao Peng's life, but he also didn't want his successor to become Cao Peng's puppet in the future!
After all, Cao Chong and Cao Zhang are different in many ways. Cao Zhang is hot-blooded, impulsive, and very rebellious. So Cao Cao asked him to follow Cao Peng in the hope that Cao Zhang could get rid of these shortcomings. But as for Cao Chong, although he is young, he has his own
Opinion. As for whether that opinion is correct? It doesn't matter...if it's wrong, it can be corrected. After all, Cao Chong is young and his plasticity is far greater than that of adults.
It is precisely because of this that when Cao Chong and Zhou Buyi approached, Cao Cao did not intervene.
Even though he knew that there were some problems here, he still didn't say anything, just stood aside and observed silently.
But, he didn't expect it.
This kind of silence caused Mrs. Huan to have some misunderstandings.

Not long after Cao Cao left, a slave came to report outside the gate of Dian Mansion: "Guo Jijiu is here."
"Ah Fu, I'm afraid that Lao San and I won't be able to accompany you these two days. Military affairs are busy, and it's not convenient to travel... In a few days, we will go to Ye County. By then, Lao San and I will be waiting in Ye County.
Come and join us. Hehe, we two brothers will go to the front line for you."
When they parted, Dianman and Xu Yi saw Cao Peng off.
Cao Peng nodded, said goodbye to the two of them, and walked out of the house.
Guo Jia must have been staying in Sikong Mansion, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to come so quickly.
Guo Jia stuck his head out of the car and waved to Cao Peng. Cao Peng boarded the carriage without saying a word, then the curtains fell and the carriage moved slowly along the street.
In the car, there is an oil lamp embedded in the wall.
The oil bowl is deeply recessed, so you don't have to worry about it spilling out and causing a fire.
The light is not particularly bright, but the light is very transparent.
Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Ah Fu, in the blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for almost a year."
Cao Peng glared at Guo Jia, but he didn't look good.
"Yes, you didn't even have to show your face. My sister-in-law came a few times and took away nearly ten pieces of my deer-patterned paper. I don't know who got it."
Guo Jia suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this.
He laughed and argued: "This matter has nothing to do with me. Of the ten swords with deer pattern, Wen Ruo took three of them, Gongda took two of them, and the remaining five were left in front of the Lord."
I came to my house a few days ago and took away two knives without saying anything. A lot of the cold gold paper and caviar paper I bought myself were also taken away. Ah Fu, let’s discuss something...your deer pattern paper
, it’s too expensive! I can’t buy much with my monthly salary. Can it be cheaper? That way, everyone can be happy, why not?”
"You are happy, but I am not."
Cao Peng suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Do you know how many deer-patterned paper sheets I have in my workshop in one month?"
"This, this..."
Guo Jia suddenly regretted it!
When Cao Peng opened the workshop, he sent someone to tell him that if he paid 500 yuan, he could get 1% of the shares.
As a result, Guo Jia thought it was too little, and at the same time he really had no money left, so he refused.
Now it seems that it was a huge miscalculation...
I thought that one percent of the shares was not much, but seeing how busy Bailu Paper Mill is around the clock, I know how prosperous it is. The paper in Fu Paper House rarely remains in stock for more than a month. But it is only what Taixue consumes every day.
The amount of hard yellow paper and plain paper is astonishing.
One hundred pieces of plain paper are worth only eighty yuan.
Buy more and get discounts.
I thought I wouldn't get much money from selling it, but now it seems that it is definitely making a lot of money every day.
What really makes money for Fu Zhilou is not the deer pattern paper, cold gold paper and caviar paper. What really makes money is the dyed yellow paper and plain paper that look extremely cheap. Secondly, it is the colorful paper, which provided many scholars with
Favorite. Although the late Eastern Han Dynasty was chaotic, it was also an era of flamboyant individuality. The so-called Wei and Jin Dynasty style originated from the scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to a large extent.
Use a unique color to represent the personality of your home, and of course no one will refuse.
For example, the Seven Sons of Jian'an... By the way, they don't have such a name yet, so let's call them the Seven Sons of Jian'an for the time being. Wang Can, one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, is good at using green paper. So, he specially sent people to Fuzhilou to spend money
A large sum of money means that colored paper must be made separately.
Wang Can's colored paper adopts peony pattern.
Therefore, she got a nickname in Xudu: Qing Guzi.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a curse word. Peony is also known as Rat Aunt, and Wang Can is good at using green paper, so she got the nickname Qing Auntzi.
There is also Chen Lin, who likes lotus flowers, but at the same time likes the color red.
Therefore, I chose red paper with lotus pattern...
This kind of special paper may not be cheaper than deer-patterned paper. But in terms of production technology, you only need to make a patterned paper mold before it can be produced. And don't bargain...it's vulgar to talk about money. You have to talk about personality.
If you want something you like, don't be afraid to spend money. Customized paper starts at five hundred dollars. In other words, Cao Peng only needs a very small cost to reach the price of deer pattern paper. Those famous people still have to pay for it.
I’m begging you, otherwise there’s no need to discuss it. Sometimes it’s so easy to make money from intellectuals! Not to mention making money from those intellectuals whose families are extremely wealthy. Using distinctive colored paper is a sign of taste, status, and more.
It is an expression of personality.
Don't think you can buy it if you have money.
Even if those wealthy country gentry people pay three times the price, they can’t even think of ordering them at Fu Zhi Lou.
Being able to have Fu Zhi Lou customize it for you is, to a certain extent, recognition of your status.
Even Guo Jia's wife, a woman with an indifferent personality who never talked about money and silk, blamed Guo Jia when she came back. Why didn't she agree in the first place?
Now, when Guo Jia sends the money to Cao Peng, Cao Peng may not pay attention.
Seeing Guo Jia sighing, Cao Peng felt particularly accomplished.
What a genius!
What an achievement it is to make a genius start to value money and silk?
"Come on, don't pretend to me... This is your dividend from the paper mill last year, a total of 1,200 guan. You keep it... When Xiao Yi grows up, he will complain that I, as an uncle, will get rich."
Even his father refused to take it with him. Your five hundred guan is just a cover to consider your reputation. In the future, someone will say that I spent money to bribe you... As for me, am I short of your 500 guan?
"
Guo Jia was suddenly stunned.
From Cao Peng's hand, he received a contract made of mulberry paper, which clearly stated: Today, Guo Jia, a native of Yingyin, will invest 500 yuan to enter Bailu Paper Mill. One hundredth of the share.
, dividends are settled on December 22nd every year. The contract is made in triplicate, with Zifang and Guo Jia each holding one paper, and the remaining ones are reported to the government. This contract is transferable and inheritable until Guo Jia himself sells it voluntarily.
Both parties shall not regret it. The parties to the covenant are Bailu Zhifang, Cao Peng, and Guo Jia from Yingyin.
On the back of the contract, there is also the seal of Xingyang Prefect.
Along with the contract, there was a piece of flying money. Guo Jia recognized it at a glance. This was the new type of flying money issued by the Central Bank, the same bank originally established by Cao Peng and Chen Qun. It was made of mulberry paper and specially processed.
It is made after being processed in a special way. As for the authenticity of the flying money, only people from the Central Bank can tell it. This kind of flying money is not circulated in the market and is mainly made for transactions. The flying money is written with one thousand and two in seal script.
Baiguan should have the seal of the Central Bank. As long as Guo Jia is willing, he can exchange it at the Central Bank at any time.
Guo Jia stammered, "How can this be good? How can this be good... How about I turn around and give you the five hundred strings?"
"Pooh!"
Cao Peng spat and ignored Guo Jia.
A net income of one to two thousand guan every year is undoubtedly a windfall for Guo Jia, who cannot make ends meet all day long.
He was stunned for a while, then without being polite, he stuffed the flying money into his arms, raised the car curtain and shouted outside: "Guo Ren."
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Go back quickly and tell the lady to arrange the food and wine. When I get back, I will have a drink with the guests."
Damn, that's too realistic.
Thinking about it, without this flying money, I wouldn’t even have a drink at your house?
Cao Peng couldn't help but cough violently, pointed at Guo Jia, and couldn't say a word for a long time...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bailanjingshe is the name of the study room in Guo Jia's mansion.
However, many people in Xudu know that Bailan Jingshe represents Guo Jia's residence.
Cao Peng got off the car outside the corner gate of Guo Mansion and walked into Guo Mansion with Guo Jia. Guo Jia's mansion was not too big. It was about the same size as the mansion Cao Hong sold to Cao Peng in the early years. However, it was very elegantly decorated.
, people feel refreshed as soon as they walk in...
This was all thanks to Mrs. Guo's methods.
Guo Jia's salary is not low. The military advisor offers wine, rides as a captain, and pays homage to the Marquis of Weiyang Ting. There are all kinds of things, and including Cao Cao's rewards, he has a salary of three to four thousand dan in one year. But this guy has always been left-handed.
In, right hand out, he has no ability to manage money at all. If it weren't for his wife's management, and the occasional support from friends like Xun Yu and Chen Qun, he would have starved to death long ago.
Cao Peng felt that Cao Cao was not being kind by letting him live in Guo Jia's house.
Among them, there may be some intention of letting him support Guo Jia.
Today, Cao Youxue is the second richest among Cao Cao's subordinates, but no one dares to say that he is the richest man...
No way, this thing is so profitable!
Back then, in Xudu, I opened a restaurant named Lao Xudu Shabu Shabu, which made money every day.
Today, Lao Xudu Shabu Shabu has become a very unique restaurant in Xudu. They have an advantage that others cannot have, that is, they can purchase the cheapest lamb from Hexi. Every winter, Lao Xudu Shabu Shabu
It has become one of the most prosperous restaurants in Xudu City. No one dares to provoke him yet. There are really too many big bosses hiding behind the restaurant that no one dares to provoke.
The old Xudu Restaurant is now under the name of Huang Chengyan.
Although Huang Chengyan has lived in Yingchuan for a long time and is not in Xudu, he still has extraordinary influence...
Even Cao Cao would respect Huang Chengyan as "彣公" when he saw him, which shows his status. Not to mention the other figures behind this restaurant.
Under Mrs. Guo's warm reception, Cao Peng washed up and sat down with Guo Jia.
He looked at Guo Jia and asked with a smile: "Brother Guo, now you can tell me, what do you mean by pushing me out to be the prefect of Nanyang County?"

For three consecutive days, three updates and twelve thousand, it can be considered an explosion.
I hope you all enjoy watching it. After you enjoy it, please support me!!!
