"Xian Nephew Zixiu, what do you want?"

"As long as I can get Lu Bu to join me, Dong will do my best no matter what you want!"

Dong Zhuo is quite realistic. If there is no benefit, he will be called Cao's boy. If there is benefit, he will be called Zixiuxian nephew.

Cao Ang didn't share his knowledge and just raised two fingers.

"I only want two things from Mr. Ming."

"First, I heard that you have a bloody horse named Red Rabbit that came from the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Region. I want this horse!"

ah?!

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he felt reluctant to part with him.

Red Rabbit Horse is his treasure. He has gone through a lot of hard work to get it, but this guy is going to take it away with just one word?

"The red rabbit horse is also a treasure in the world. It is considered a top-notch horse even among the bloody horses. I only have this one. Zixiu will see if he can change the conditions."

"I am willing to offer you hundreds of fine horses to offset your request. What do you think?"

"Bang!"

Cao Ang placed the tea bowl heavily on the table, stood up and prepared to leave.

Dong Zhuo stood up quickly, took Cao Ang's arm, and shouted.

"Give it, give it, I'll give it, isn't it Red Rabbit Horse? I agree to this condition!"

Although red rabbit horses are rare, they might be able to get them from the Western Regions in the future. If Lu Bu was gone, where would he find another one in the world?

Which one is more important and which one is less important? Dong Zhuo knew clearly in his heart.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's submission, Cao Ang reluctantly sat back down.

"Since Ming Gong agreed to the first condition, the second condition should be easy to handle. All I need to prepare is a hundred pounds of gold. I will set off immediately to persuade Lu Bu!"

Dong Zhuo: "?"

"How much did you say?"

"One hundred pounds!"

hiss!

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

One hundred pounds of gold!!!

You little brat, why don't you just kill me and use me to refine oil to see if I can gain a hundred pounds?

Does this little kid have any idea in his mind? One hundred catties of gold is like one hundred catties of rice when he says it in his mouth.

Isn't it true that a tiger kills people with its mouth wide open and its eyes closed?

Dong Zhuo silently picked up a candle.

"Wait a minute, I'll light a candle first."

Cao Ang looked at Dong Zhuo's actions with a confused look on his face, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you light candles in broad daylight?"

Hearing Cao Ang's question, Dong Zhuo suddenly raised his head, looked at him with a ferocious expression, and said every word as stone as stone.

"Because you are too dark!!!"

…

After making a fuss for a while, Dong Zhuo reluctantly put away the candle, and then looked at Cao Ang with dissatisfaction.

"I think you're just not diligent, don't distinguish between grains, and have never seen the suffering in the world, so you talk nonsense."

"Do you know how much a hundred pounds of gold is? Do you know how high they can be piled? Do you know if these golds can be converted into five plants to fill this small room?"

"I am oblivious!"

Dong Zhuo seemed to be shouting with all his strength, but Cao Ang still smiled slowly, making Dong Zhuo feel like he had punched cotton.

"My lord, please don't be impatient. Of course I know the value of gold. One hundred kilograms is indeed a huge amount."

"But in exchange for the loyalty of a peerless warrior who is one of the best in the world, is this price really expensive?"

"This is like a merchant doing business. The stronger the horse you buy, the shorter the journey will take. The larger the carriage, the more goods can be transported at one time."

“The more you invest, the more you earn!”

"Today I spent a hundred kilograms of gold in exchange for a peerless warrior. After making good use of it, I can create thousands or even ten thousand kilograms of gold for you in the future!"

"As long as you have Lu Bu, Ding Yuan and others can be destroyed with a snap of your fingers. Then the entire Luoyang City will be yours. Will there still be a mere 100 kilograms less gold?"

Understand the applause!

These words were really brainwashing. Dong Zhuo was so excited that he almost stood up and danced along.

That’s so right!

How can you gain something if you don’t pay?

The greater the investment, the greater the output. If we rely on the mediocre generals under our command, how many months will it take to capture Ding Yuan and others?

It would be different if there was Lu Bu, and Ding Yuan would be wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing!

Dong Zhuo was very excited, but when he thought of the value of a hundred pounds of gold, his blood that had just boiled instantly cooled down.

Reason has retaken the high ground.

After sitting in his position and groaning for a long time, he decided to change his strategy to persuade Cao Ang.

"Ahem!"

"My dear nephew, it's not that I don't want to part with this gold. I'm really short of money and I can't afford such a huge amount."

"Three hundred years ago, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, he was able to generously spend thousands of catties of gold to reward meritorious ministers. That was because there was a lot of gold in the world at that time, and a large amount of gold was stored in the treasury.

"

"But things are different now. Let alone the whole world, even the national treasury doesn't have much gold. If you insist on me paying out so much gold, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"Let's do this. According to records in the book, hundreds of years ago, the price of gold and five baht coins was one worth ten thousand. I will double it for you. According to the total price of two million five baht coins, please help me recruit Lu Bu.

,how about?"

Dong Zhuo did not tell lies about this.

On the issue of gold, the situation between the two Han Dynasties is very different. Several emperors in the Western Han Dynasty rewarded meritorious officials directly with gold, ranging from hundreds to thousands of kilograms.

As a result, by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people became very picky. When the emperor rewarded meritorious officials, they would only reward other things. Gold would only appear if he was heavily rewarded.

There are many reasons for this situation, such as the popular burial style in the Han Dynasty and the concept of death as life, which led to a lot of gold being brought underground.

The other was the great chaos between the two Han Dynasties, which also caused huge losses in wealth.

Etc., no more details will be given.

In short, Dong Zhuo was quite sincere in what he said. After all, two million dollars is not a small amount.

But Cao Ang felt it was not enough.

When he negotiates prices, he also divides the price among people. Those who can afford the price will give a high price, and those who can't afford it will lower the price appropriately.

For example, when discussing business with Liu Bei, Cao Ang would be much more cautious when opening his mouth, otherwise it would be better to kill Liu Bei for a hundred catties of gold.

But the fat black man was different. He had the ability to get so much money, but now he just couldn't bear it, so he bargained and wanted to use five plants to top up the amount.

How could Cao Ang agree to this?

Therefore, no matter how Dong Zhuo tried to persuade him, Cao Ang just insisted on the price.

Seeing that the two of them were about to break up, Cao Ang could only pretend to be impatient and explain.

"I don't know what Ming Gong is hesitating about. Do you think I can take all the hundred pounds of gold by myself? Half of it was originally meant for Lu Bu."

"Is it a lot for me to carry fifty pounds?"

…

ps. Thanks to "Ming Dizuo" for the 500-point reward. I thought there were very few handsome guys with a handsomeness value of more than 500 points in the world, but I didn't expect that another one would appear here. Sure enough, the starting point is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! (The author has 999999999999 handsomeness points.
