Three Kingdoms: Economic mastermind, Cao Cao wins!

"But if you do this, I'm afraid that Fengxiao will hold a grudge against you, Fengying, and once this matter gets spread, your reputation will be ruined......."

"It doesn't matter, let the lord come forward when the time is right, and use the hands of you and Mr. Xi Zhicai to introduce Guo Jia to the lord. As for reputation, does Wen Ruo think my current reputation is good?"

"this......"

After hearing Li Mo's words, Xun Yu couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart. Xun Yu's view of Li Mo changed again today. If it were anyone else, who would not take credit as much as possible, but Li Mo did not He truly hid his merits and fame, and gave all the fame to Cao Cao.

This is equivalent to letting the bad guy Li Mo take the fall, while the good guys let Cao Cao take the fall. In this era where reputation is so important, it is possible to have How many people have this kind of spirit?

"Feng Ying, I, Xun Wenruo, thank Feng Ying for your hard work on behalf of my lord."

"Sigh, Mr. Wen Ruo, this is a bit foreign."

Seeing that Xun Yu was really planning to thank him, Li Mo quickly stopped Xun Yu. For Li Mo, he really didn't care about this reputation issue. Li Mo What Mo Mo wants is just the support of Cao Cao. He is a businessman, and he is not really serving the public good. The more stable the backing is, the more beneficial it will be for Li Mo. Li Mo will handle it here After finishing this matter, they still had to devote themselves to the installation work of various machinery brought from Pingqiu County. At the same time, they also had to make some preparations to go to Xuzhou. On the other hand, Xun Yu, who had been hesitating at home for two days, finally found it. Cao Cao told Cao Cao exactly what happened that day, and also told Li Mo his own thoughts.

After hearing these words, Cao Cao couldn't help but be very moved. Because of the different concepts, the philistine Ci is a derogatory term for some noble families, whether they are famous or poor, but for Li Mo, there is nothing unusual about it.

"Wen Ruo, is everything you said true?"

"Lord, what Wen Ruo said is not half false."

"So is Guo Jia really as powerful as Wen Ruo said?"

"Lord, Fengxiao's ability is something Wen Ruo has only seen in his life. If the weak can get help from Fengxiao, the Lord will be even more powerful on the battlefield. However, the temperament of Lord Fengxiao is quite stubborn, and Fengfeng has already been calculated. As long as Choosing the right time, the lord can not only gain a lot of Li Mo's favor by coming forward, but it is not difficult to take Fengxiao under his command, but it will be a bitter experience." After hearing

Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao felt even more guilty for a moment, wasn't it? Cao Cao didn't want to promote Li Mo. Li Mo's contribution itself was already considerable, but Cao Cao was just a state pastor, and the positions under his subordinates were almost allotted. If he wanted to reward some other things, Li Mo really wanted to reward him. There is no shortage. Cao Cao is also very nervous about money.

"The abundance is really my humerus. Wenruo, do you think there is any way to reward the abundance?"

"this......My lord, Feng Ying lacks nothing, but Feng Ying has never had a formal wife or concubine. How about the lord chooses a daughter from a wealthy family to marry Li Mo. In this way, on the one hand, Feng Ying's reputation can be restored to a certain extent. At the same time, it can also show the Lord’s love"

"Well, Wen Ruo is right, but for the daughter of a big family, the small family will naturally not be considered. But, will there be any children from some famous families who are willing to marry Feng Ying?"

Xun Yu's words are quite agreeable to Cao Cao. At present, it seems that only this method is more suitable. But the problem arises again, that is, in Yanzhou and Yingchuan, there are some qualified women from aristocratic families, but these qualified women Not even Cao Cao, a wealthy family, could force someone to marry their daughter.

If she married someone like Xun Yu or Cheng Yu, it would be easy. But since Li Mo was favored by Cao Cao, he was promoted from a county magistrate to a diannong official. According to the ranks of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his position is equivalent to being promoted to four levels in a row, which itself has aroused criticism from many people from aristocratic families.

In addition, Li Mo attaches great importance to business, and he has many industries. , which caused many nobles to look down on Li Mo. They felt that Li Mo was more suitable to be a first-level merchant than a minister. This also led to Li Mo being looked down upon by many people from the noble tribe, which made it even more important. Forget about finding a qualified person to marry Li Mo,

"Alas, what the lord said is indeed true. The person who matches Feng Ying may not be willing to marry, and the person who is willing to marry may not be suitable. Alas"

"Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of someone"

"What did the Lord say?"

"Cai Yong’s daughters, Cai Yan and Cai Wenji"

"It's her, lord, isn't this appropriate? Haven't you already taken the person back to the mansion?......"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu was startled for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment, what kind of character was Cao Cao

? , this is equivalent to giving a woman that Cao Cao used to your subordinates, and also letting your subordinates take it from others. This is equivalent to a great humiliation.

"Nonsense, when did I take Cai Wenji back to my mansion? My wife can testify to this. I settled her near my mansion. My wife usually stays with me. Cai Yan is like a brother and sister to me. I How could you do such a thing?"

"If Wen Ruo made a mistake, please forgive me."

After hearing this, Xun Yu also understood that Cao Cao would not lie about this matter. Although Cao Cao was lustful, he was also very smart and would never have anything happen to his ministers because of women. conflict,

"But after all, Cai Wenji has already married the Hedong Wei family. Is it inappropriate to marry Li Mo again?"

"My lord, this is easy to say. After all, Cai Yong is a great scholar in the world, and Cai Yan's reputation as a talented woman was also a good story in Luoyang back then. I don't think it would be better for my lord to openly recognize Cai Yan as his adopted sister, and then decide to marry Li Mo. As two wives and legitimate children, on the one hand, it can show the lord's love for Feng Feng, and on the other hand, it can maintain Feng Feng's reputation, and at the same time, it will not make Feng Feng dissatisfied."

"Well, that's right. If what Wen said is feasible, then I'll leave this matter to you."
