Three Kingdoms: Economic mastermind, Cao Cao wins!

Naturally, Cao Cao had his own set of methods for the imperial man. Chen Qun himself was very capable, especially the Yingchuan gentry group behind him, which was also very important to Cao Cao. Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Guo Jia and others But they all come from Yingchuan, and being widely recognized by the Yingchuan gentry group will be a great help to Cao Cao, not only in terms of making plans, but also in terms of actual employment, especially in Now that Cao Cao may face potential threats at any time, it goes without saying how important it is to have more help.

Li Mo also roughly explained the ins and outs of this matter in his letter to Cao Cao, while Cao Cao He was very smart. He did not use the issue of face or money to blackmail Chen Qun. Instead, he and Chen Qun discussed the general trend of the world as if they were having a casual chat. At the same time, he showed his thirst for talents and his love for Ying. Although he had the respect of the Sichuan gentry, he did not mean to threaten him in the whole process. When he sent Chen Qun off, he personally got up to see him off and promised that the money issue would be left to him and would never affect Chen Qun. This is Cao Cao's shrewdness and unique behavior. If he wanted Chen Qun to follow him willingly,

Cao Cao had just sent Chen Qun away. Before he could take a break, Li Mo came to find him. When he came to the door, Li Mo was not polite and went directly to the main hall to wait. Cao Cao had already come out wearing a coat.

"host......"

"Hahaha......Feng Ying, you are my lucky star. I brought you a pillow when I fell asleep."

Before Li Mo could say hello, Cao Cao came up and gave Li Mo a big hug, which made Li Mo depressed.

"Come on, boss Cao, don’t do this. The king and his ministers belong to their kings. You have to give me back my money. All my money is real money."

"Ahem......You see, you are out of sight now, don’t you? My lord has stopped calling, what is yours and mine, otherwise I will make the decision, how about I reward you with twenty maids?"

When Cao Cao saw that his trick was exposed, Cao Cao He still shamelessly hugged Li Mo and said kindly,

"Maid, do you think I'm lacking? Take it. You'd better keep it for yourself. One code belongs to another. Master, it's better to be clear about the money. Chen Qun is already yours. If I can't get the money, how can I return it? Come"

"I let Chen Qun go."

"Lord, are you interesting?"

"Forehead......Otherwise, if you have any requests, just ask them, as long as I can satisfy them, I will definitely satisfy you."

Cao Cao saw that he couldn't escape, and he had no choice but to say, after all, Li Mo is completely his treasure now. , can always bring you one surprise after another,

"I want my lord to write a letter to Yuan Shao, saying that Yanzhou can trade with Jizhou and exempt from taxes."

"this......It is indeed not a problem that I wrote a letter to Yuan Benchu. The problem is whether Yuan Benchu ​​will agree to it, which I am not sure about."

"This is natural. The lord can rest assured. Before Yuan Shao finishes dealing with Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao will basically agree to the lord's request and just provide some benefits in a timely manner."

"Okay, that’s the request?"

"Well, that's the request."

It's not without reason that Li Mo has this request. It was a little better before. After Dong Zhuo's chaos, the princes in the world were afraid of each other, let alone the businessmen. It was like Even the famous merchant families of this era, the Zhen family and the Mi family, were unable to spread their business all over the world. The biggest limitation was the difference in tax policies of various princes, especially those similar to In this kind of business from south to north, except for some daily necessities, no one can sell the rest. Every time you go to a prince's place, you need to pay a new tax. Many times it is similar to this Jizhou is connected to Youzhou. Due to the war between the two princes, it is impossible to do business at all, which greatly limits the circulation of merchants. Li Mo plans to take advantage of the fact that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still in the honeymoon period. Opening this opportunity, Jizhou is also very wealthy, and it will definitely make Li Mo a lot of money in the short term. Especially before Yuan Shao and Cao Cao completely fall out, Li Mo can even use Jizhou's opportunity to expand his business in the long term. Some, before Li Mo traveled through time, he had seen some comments about the so-called business all over the world. In this era, without the support of the political power, it is simply impossible to achieve. This is something Li Mo only realized after experiencing it personally. I understand, and the tax exemption will have a great impact on many things in the future. Li Mo will naturally seize this opportunity. The princes do not pay enough attention to merchants, which is also a problem for Li Mo in the opposite direction. It's a good thing that even if Li Mo does something, he won't be noticed.

"By the way, lord, there is one more thing. I met an old friend of yours."

"Old friend?"

"Cai Yong’s daughter, Cai Yan"

"What, Cai Wenji, where is she?"

When Li Mo mentioned Cai Yan, Cao Cao immediately became excited. Seeing Cao Cao's excitement, Li Mo couldn't help but wonder if Cao Cao really had some friendship with Cai Yan. What Li Mo knew The thing is that Cao Cao and Cai Yong had a close friendship. As for the relationship between Cao Cao and Cai Yan, Li Mo didn't have much memory. After all, this kind of thing was only recorded in some unofficial histories. There was definitely a relationship. Yes, but Li Mo has not speculated about what the relationship is like.

Li Mo is not unable to walk when he sees beautiful women. There are indeed many beauties in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but Li Mo does not have to stare at those There are many famous beauties, even those who are not yet famous. There is absolutely no need for Li Mo to hold on to a few crooked-necked beauties.

"I arranged for you to rest temporarily in Zuixian Tower. Do you want to see me, Lord?"

"Alas, it's too late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Cai Wenji must have suffered a lot if she was able to leave Chang'an."

Speaking of Cai Yan, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the dead Cai Yong. Cao Cao didn't expect that. He would hear news about Cai Yan again, and Li Mo was secretly observing Cao Cao's expression, as if he wanted to see something from Cao Cao's expression.

"Fengcheng, what are you looking at?"

"I didn’t look at anything, just to see if the lord needs it. I will find another mansion to accommodate Miss Cai Yan. If necessary, five hundred gold, no IOUs will be accepted."
