Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Both Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun were speechless, and thanks to you being Chen Xi, other people would be beaten if they behaved like this, "Let's take you there, brother happened to be chatting with Cao Gong about something."

"Uh, is that so? Then I'll go." Chen Xi hesitated for a while, and decided to go. Anyway, Cao Cao couldn't be dead at Liu Bei's place, so he could just inform the two of them about some matters involved.

When Chen Xi arrived at Liu Bei's residence, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Mi Zhu, Wei Zi, and Wei Ji were all in the courtyard. Taking a glance at the composition of the characters, Chen Xi knew what they were discussing.

"Ha, Zi Chuan, it's really time for you to come. I sent someone to look for you before." Seeing Chen Xi stepping in, Liu Bei immediately got up and said, it was enough to give Chen Xi face in front of Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao is now I also found that Chen Xi really didn't call Liu Bei the lord.

"Are you talking about business or loans?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

A smile appeared on Liu Bei's face when he heard the words. It seemed that if the emperor hadn't passed away, he might have burst into laughter immediately, "Zi Chuan, you really have good eyesight. You can tell what we are going to do at a glance, so what do you think of us now? What are you going to do?"

"It should be to discuss business matters, and it is only such a trivial matter. Sun Bofu is not interested at all, and Zhou Gongjin is so busy that if he finds out about this matter, even if Xuande Gong deliberately informs him, he may just refuse to come. Right." Chen Xi pouted and said.

Now to discuss these important matters, either Liu Caosun and Sun Ce will come with a civil servant, or Sun Ce feels that he is not interested and will not come directly, and the content of the discussion will be sent to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu before the results are announced.

However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can still clearly distinguish the priorities, so there will really be no major events missed. For example, Zhou Yu doesn't bother to care about such business matters at all. Nongsang, social population, and wars are in Zhou Yu's hands. Edge is the big deal.

Of course, this is the opinion of almost everyone in this era. What the hell is business? This is why Cao Cao and Liu Bei agreed on this matter while chatting, but no one stopped it. Business is like this in this era. It's the same thing.

Including the family members of the five wealthy merchants, the Mi family and the Wei family, in their view, business is just a tool in their hands, not their foundation. Of course, the Zhen family and the Wu family enjoy it, It seems to them that they have gone mad.

As for Liu Bei's notification to Chen Xi, whether it's the five-year plan or the position of chief minister, they are all in charge of this area, so there is such a thing as a notification.

"Zi Chuan really has good eyesight." Cao Cao said with a thumbs up.

"What do Zi Zhong and Bo Cui think?" Chen Xi didn't even ask about the content of the business law, but directly asked Mi Zhu and Wei Kui what they thought, and it was obvious that Mi Zhu and the others were a little embarrassed. These three guys were Cao Liu's money Bag, with their backs against the duo, they've gained quite a bit of power.

"Tell the truth, it's nothing, just tell me how you feel now." Chen Xi looked at Mi Zhu and said.

"To be honest, I don't think there is any problem. My lord and Mr. Cao intend to curb business, because now Fenggao's business is too prosperous, and many people who are not engaged in production can live better than many hard-working people. My lord and Mr. Cao are afraid of the impact. Country." Mi Zhu leaned forward and said, he actually had a very positive view on restraining business.

"Oh, do you all think so?" Chen Xi looked at Wei Zi and Wei Ke and asked, both of them nodded. It can be seen that they both have the same opinion. They all look down on business, and it's really a matter of face that these five big businessmen can grow big!

"It's true to say that those big businessmen don't do anything to Nongsang, and it's true that they disrupt social order. Generally speaking, small businessmen, that is, those handicraft businessmen, are actually doing things. The big businessman said It’s not bad to buy low and sell high to earn the difference.” Chen Xi thought for a while and said.

"Then, Zi Chuan, what do you think?" After all, Liu Bei had worked with Chen Xi for too long, and Wen Xian knew the meaning, so he naturally asked.

"I think business should be developed." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "What we need to do is to stabilize prices, guide the normal development of business, and kill everything directly. To be honest, I don't agree with it at all, and business is still very necessary."

"It's just that merchants don't care about farming and mulberry. If too many people do the same, who will farm under the rule?" Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei's weed with dissatisfaction, and had agreed with him before. , and now he resolutely followed Chen Xi's idea.

"Let's not talk about the merchant's demand for ability, just say that before the business has developed to a certain level, what the merchant buys and sells is actually surplus materials, relying on transferring the surplus materials from one area to another area." Chen Xi said calmly.

"Let's put it this way, due to different circumstances in different regions, various prices are actually very different. Take Shu brocade as an example, the price in Sichuan and Shu is completely different from the price in Chang'an." Chen Xi saw that Cao Cao had something to say, and immediately took it. Talk to each other.

"Isn't that because the merchant raised the price?" Cao Cao said dissatisfied.

"Actually, it's not. It's more because Chang'an doesn't produce it. Just like the salted fish in the East China Sea, the price will gradually increase as the distance from the sea increases. To be close, Yang Xingzu, it is estimated that Cao Gong and Xuan Mr. De must know that his place was quite far from the sea back then, so someone bribed him with salted fish." Chen Xi said with a smile.

Although Cao Cao said he was unhappy with Chen Xi, he nodded. He knew about it. After all, there was a famous story about Yang Xu Xuan Yu. Even if the value of things that could be used as bribes was not too high, it would not be too low.

"Besides, war horses are expensive in the north. In fact, everyone knows that's the case. But when you go to the south, you will know the situation when Gong Jin talked to me about the racecourse before." Chen Xi said with his hands outstretched, "So the merchant is needed."

"Then how much?" Cao Cao was silent for a while, and he accepted Chen Xi's words.

"The reality will be adjusted naturally. Don't worry, Mr. Cao. If there are too many merchants, they can't make money and can't afford to eat. They will naturally go to farm. After all, in the current situation, no matter how bad farming is, it's no problem to make a living. , as for the businessman, if you screw it up, you might die." Chen Xi said indifferently, spreading his hands.

"However, when it comes to this, in fact, if the merchants control it well, they can actually balance the price." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "What's more, in my opinion, the current business is still very far away from my sales limit. distance."
