I must give you some sweetness first.

Jiangling was not short of food, but he just lacked confidence. Guan Ping's arrival proved that Cao's army could open up the waterway. His respectfulness made Chen Qun very proud. He gave all the food to Guan Ping.

Well, it’s not my own food anyway. You can fool it by talking about people’s hearts and other things in front of Cao.

Guan Ping did not expect that there was such a genius who was generous to others. He quickly kowtowed repeatedly. Chen Qun became more and more proud. He called his own side and gave Guan Ping a handwritten warrant, asking Guan Ping to come and solve the problem if he had something to do.

After finishing these things, Chen Qun's famous scholars had a furious attack and were too lazy to continue talking to Guan Ping.

He shook his sleeves and thought to himself that it was so easy for me to do things. This is the difference between famous scholars and ordinary people.

Many years ago, Chen Qun had been with the poor Liu Bei for a while. At that time, Liu Bei was like a headless fly, surrounded by a group of martial artists. Scholars were either corrupt scholars or people like Chen Deng.

Chen Qun's attitude of having sex today was to learn from Liu Bei, but he still couldn't eat and live with these martial artists like Liu Bei.

Alas, forget it, that's it.

With Chen Qun's help, Guan Ping quickly found a place to stay.

Chen Qun rewarded Guan Ping with all the food of three ships in total to 3,000 stones to commend the bravery of his soldiers. Guan Ping couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed when he looked at the white food.

When attacking Wenpin, he wasted such great effort to steal the food from a ship. It would be better to be a famous man. He didn't even look at it and gave the food to others.

This is the legendary demeanor of a famous scholar. Learn, learn endlessly.

With so much food in there, Guan Ping discussed with Ma Liang for a while and decided to leave only 10% of the food for emergency treatment, and the rest...

All sold.

The Cao soldiers around him heard that some people opened their food and their eyes were straightened.

These days, there is a serious shortage of food, and food is easier to use than money. Even if this navy can eat military rations after it gets ashore, it still faces the deductions of Shangguan.

So much food can solve a big problem. Even if you want to sell part of it, why sell it all?

When they found out that Yunshan was a bandit in Jingzhou who had just surrendered, they immediately showed contempt on their faces.

A prodigal son.

It's true that he's a bandit.

When I heard that there was food to buy, everyone around me took out money and bought a lot of cloth. Cai Mao and Cao Hong's subordinates reached a rare agreement and found an opportunity to spend the money they had.

Because it is a seller's market, Ma Liang and Wang Mo who replaced Guan Ping can naturally take it calmly.

First of all, he said that he would never need money for insufficient weight, nor would he need cloth mixed with water, so you can do it yourself.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and the scene was very awkward.

This is to talk about the current economic situation.

Wuzhu coins were used for a long time in the Han Dynasty. According to archaeological discoveries, a Wuzhu coins were about 10g during the prosperous period of the Han Dynasty. "Big five articles, no articles, good meat, no wheels," which was a work of art. Later, the two emperors Huan Ling started to do it because of some inconvenient reasons, and the single weight dropped to 4.3g, which is barely reasonable.

But later Mr. Dong changed all this. He first got 0.5g of money with a throttle. Later, he felt that it was not enough, so he actually made fake money mixed with lead and tin, which directly exploded the budding of the ancient commodity economy.

But Mr. Dong has not been around for a few years. In theory, Cao Cao still had the opportunity to change all this. However, as we all know, Cao Cao was a literati, not an economist. He has been working for so many years, and he is satisfied with his troops and food. In the 17th year after Dong Zhuo abolished the Wuzhu coins, this year, Cao Cao, who had just become prime minister, suddenly slapped his head.

Damn, I forgot to mint coins over the years!

Forgot to mint coins!

So Prime Minister Cao quickly "uses Wuzhu coins" and tried to look as normal as he was when he was a child, laying a solid foundation for some unspeakable things in the future.

But Cao Cao, who didn't understand economics, was shocked to find that I had recovered the Wuzhu coins and still no one used them...

This is because in the first year of Jian'an, in order to save the great Han Dynasty at the end of his luck, Cao Cao decided to accept the suggestions of several strategic mentors with distinct personalities and start farming!

The policy of military farming did provide Cao's army with a large amount of military rations, which became the key to their victory. But the problem arises. All the food became Cao Cao's military supplies, and there was nothing on the market. What's the use of money under severe deflation?

Prime Minister Cao did not understand military affairs, and his subordinates had the same economic level as Jeffrey Sachs, so he had to set it aside and leave the problem to his son, grandson, and Cao Wei's end.

Now Ma Liang said, I only need money and worthwhile copper coins. If you can’t take them out, don’t stay here, just leave them for those in need.

Guan Ping's eyes penetrated the crowd and landed on Cai Mao in the distance. Cai Mao was so moved by this mysterious look that he couldn't help but escort the crowd and said proudly:

"I want it all!"

As we all know, the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou were not very fierce, nor did they meet Mr. Dong, and Cao Cao and others did not involve them in the Central Plains War before.

This place lacks salt and horses, and has developed water transportation. It is impossible not to engage in a commodity economy. When Liu Biao was there, he stocked up money everywhere. Jingzhou companies made a lot of money by using trade, but each of them was not short of money.

It doesn’t matter if Cao Jun can’t afford it. I have money, I have the premium, I want it all.

The best rice on the market is only 400 yuan per stone, and Cai Mao will cover it at the highest price.

He had never been so rude that he deliberately pissed these Northern Army soldiers like untouchables. He had wanted to prove one thing before-

Only by being with my surname Cai can you eat and wear well. I have the final say in Jingzhou.

He walked to Guan Ping with a happy look, staring at Guan Ping's pair of phoenix eyes that were quite similar to Guan Yu, and the smile on his face was quite sincere.

"The business of a nephew is easy to do. As for this money, how about the uncle sending it to you?"

Guan Ping couldn't see Cai Mao's thoughts, and he whispered:

"Thank you uncle. If you still have business in the future, please ask me..."

"Haha, let's make a fortune together."

Alas, the more Cai Mao looked at him, the more he felt Guan Ping was happy, and he felt that his decision just now was really correct.

Killing Guan Ping is equivalent to turning against Liu Bei and blocking all his retreat. This is good for Cao Cao, but not for him. It is better for everyone to do business honestly. Of course, you have to make money together.

Guan Ping and Ma Liang looked at each other and stood up quietly and said:

"Today, my uncle takes care of his business like this, so naturally I can't ask for a high price, otherwise I will be scolded by my elders. The total price of this 2,700 stone of grain is 1.08 million yuan. How about I selling it to my uncle for a fraction of it?"

"Oh, hehe, my nephew said it well, then I'm not polite. One million, right? I'm just..."

"Where is my uncle?" Guan Ping smiled, "It's obviously 180,000. Did my uncle calculate it wrong?"

180,000!

Cai Mao was slightly surprised and then hesitated.

When buying and selling, each takes what he needs, and each does not owe it.

But the 2,700 stone of grain rice was sold for only 180,000 yuan, which was basically no different from giving it for free.

Cai Mao knew that there was no food in the world. His breathing was a little heavy, and he stared at Guan Ping's eyes calmly, trying to see what the eldest nephew was thinking.

It took him a long time to exhale a breath of turbid air.
