Cao Chong smiled throughout the whole process. Whether it was for Ma Zun or for a small official like Jiang Wei, Cao Chong still did not show off his airs and his identity.

When it comes to receiving these people, Cao Chong has given them enough face.

Not only the prefect Ma Zun, but also people like Jiang Wei were a little frivolous when Cao Chong was attacked.

In his usual opinion, this was impossible to talk to Luoyang Hou, but now it really happened to him.

For a time, Cao Chong's personal charm was infinitely magnified in the eyes of these people.

When he was almost the same, Cao Chong kept mentioning meat, food, and other words.

After Cao Chong treated this way, let alone meat, food and food, Ma Zun was willing to take Tianshui County to the place. Therefore, the prefect of Tianshui County simply agreed without any drag. Not only that, Ma Zun promised Cao Chong twice the meat that Cao Chong asked for, which was extremely attentive.

With Ma Zun so enthusiastic, Cao Chong could not let the people of Tianshui suffer in vain because he would completely ruin his reputation.

For the sake of some meat, many people in Tianshui may lose their families. This is not Cao Chong's style.

When you reach Cao Chong's current position, an inadvertent word may affect the life and death of people in each county. This is definitely not a joke.

When having great power, Cao Chong also needs to restrain his arrogance.

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility!

If the power you have is only used to act as a mighty person, it is actually useless.

Those who come to enjoy the power will never have the power to last long. Not only that, it will not benefit the present. In the eyes of future generations, you will be nothing more than a tyrant like King Zhou of Shang and a treacherous minister like Qin Hui.

Even though he had the power of life and death in his hands, Cao Chong still controlled himself very well.

If it comes to the time when he ignores his life that day, he will become a lonely person completely.

Cao Chong then said to Ma Zun: "Is there so much meat in this Tianjun?"

Ma Zun seemed to understand what Cao Chong meant, and patted his chest and said, "Junhou, Tianshui County has many mountains and few lands, and there are many herdsmen, among which the most cattle and sheep are. And those who consume cattle are probably not seen by Junhou."

Cao Chong naturally knew about Huaniu, and he had read the photos more than once in later generations.

If there are enough cattle and sheep, that's fine, but Cao Chong added another sentence later.

"I wonder how long does this cattle cost? A meat sheep is enough for a household to eat?"

Although Ma Zun didn't understand Cao Chong's meaning, he immediately said: "If there are five people in this household, the money they consumed for one cattle would be enough for them to eat for two months, and the money they exchanged for a meat sheep would be enough for them to eat and live for ten days."

It seems that the price difference between beef and meat sheep is still very large.

Cao Chong nodded and asked again: "How much beef and sheep does a family consume in the usual family?"

Although Ma Zun didn't understand what Cao Chong meant, he still answered the question without any ambiguity. Now he was thinking about how to please Cao Chong, so he naturally agreed with Cao Chong's request.

"Ordinary family usually has only two or three cattle consuming, while meat sheep is in groups."

From Ma Zun's words, then, this Tianshui County is quite wealthy.

but...

Cao Chong understood deeply that these officials usually can only believe half of the words, and some cannot even believe half of them.

According to Ma Zun, Tianshui County is a wealthy county, but since this county can give him a person with no background to serve as the prefect, it is enough to explain the problem.

Cao Chong looked at Ma Zun deeply and said, "Since I am the highest commander of Liangzhou, I still have some understanding of the situation in Liangzhou. Although those people have enough cattle and sheep, I should not take so many. Moreover, for every time a beef and sheep is used to requisition, they will be given more than 20% of the market price. Do you know?"

Ma Zun understood the meaning of Cao Chong's words. At this moment, his forehead was sweating and he nodded quickly.

"Ma Zun understands what Junhou means. Don't worry, the officials will pay for those cattle and sheep, and they will not cause losses to the people."

Cao Chong nodded to express his satisfaction.

"Don't worry, this marquis won't let you pay the money. You can go to the Luoyang Marquis Mansion to report and get it."

Hearing Cao Chong's words, Ma Zun hurriedly bowed to Cao Chong and said, "There are still money in Tianshui County, so you don't need to worry about it."

Cao Chong shook his head.

"Public affairs are official affairs, and private affairs are private affairs. You must distinguish these."

Ma Zun nodded quickly and replied.

After Cao Chong's conversation with Ma Zun, Jiang Wei's eyes lit up.

I like the people, treat people sincerely, and have no airs...

This is simply a wise master!

If I could follow the Luoyang Marquis, then my talents might be able to be displayed.

Just as Jiang Wei was thinking about it, he suddenly found someone calling his name.

Jiang Wei was stunned, raised his head and found that the Luoyang Marquis who was high in his heart was looking at him with a smile on his face.

The Marquis of Luoyang is looking at himself...

Jiang Wei was both happy and frightened, and hurriedly bowed to Cao Chong.

"June."

Cao Chong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I have heard of your father's deeds just now, and I am very moved. When I saw you, it turns out that he was a tiger father without a dog son."

Suddenly being praised by the Luoyang Marquis, Jiang Wei's face turned red and he was a little confused.

Jiang Wei of this era is still different from Jiang Wei later.

Jiang Wei during this period was young and had never seen much of the world, so he naturally seemed a little cramped.

But his talent and talent remain unchanged.

Cao Chong thought of the young man who seemed a little shy in front of him. In another time and space, in the later period of Shu Han, he supported the pillars of Shu Kingdom alone with his own strength, and his heart was full of talent.

If Jiang Wei was able to use Jiang Wei well in the trip to Liangzhou, he might be a surprise weapon.

Just imagine, Jiang Wei is not famous. When Cao Chong gave him important responsibilities, I think those people would despise Jiang Wei.

By then, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Thinking of this, Cao Chong smiled on his face.

"The Lord and Hou praised it."

Cao Chong waved his hand and said to Zhuge Liang behind him, "Kong Ming, what do you think of this kid?"

Zhuge Liang was currently wandering outside the sky. When he heard Cao Chong say this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Wei carefully, bowed to Cao Chong, and said, "He is a handsome guy."

Zhuge Liang didn't understand Jiang Wei, so he said this sentence mostly as a compliment. Just when Zhuge Liang thought his task was completed, Cao Chong's subsequent words made Zhuge Liang stunned for a long time.
