It is not surprising that the big dog owner's hook was expected by Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo even wants to laugh.

But in front of the big dog, Guo couldn't laugh, but he had to put on an unexpected expression.

"How did he know about tea? Who told him?"

Saqi translated the Emperor's question.

Long Lihe whispered for a while.

"It was introduced by Ma Yuan, the envoy sent by His Majesty, and Xin Butang, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He said that he wanted to buy some to bring them back for the emperors and nobles of the Kushan Kingdom to taste. If he could, he would like to buy more."

Speaking of this, Saqi sighed in disdain or envy, and then said-

“He said the price is not a problem.”

He really has the style of a big dog, and it is nothing wrong to say that he is a big dog.

Under the absolute information asymmetry, these smart merchants have become big dogs with stupid people and a lot of money in the eyes of Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo smiled in his heart, but on the surface he showed a embarrassed expression.

"So, tea is not a cheap thing. It was originally a whim. I changed my drinking method. Who knew it was spread in Luoyang. Now the tea production is low, there are many people needed, and the price is more expensive than gold. There is no place to buy it. So, I will give you a box to the envoy."

Mr. Guo called Su Yuan to ask him to arrange it. After that, Su Yuan quickly came to Long Lihe with a small wooden box, opened it and looked at Long Lihe, and saw a small ball of tea inside.

He wanted to buy more, not just drink that little bit by himself...

"Is it really impossible to buy it?"

Saqi recounted Longlihe's inquiry.

"this……"

Mr. Guo walked around and thought for a while.

"So, Su Yuan, take the envoy to Cao Cao's subordinates and let Cao Cao talk to the envoy. I remember that Cao Cao should have a lot of tea on the side. You can just ask them to negotiate, no one will suffer any loss."

When Long Lihe learned that he had the opportunity to buy tea, he was immediately happy. After thanking Guo Peng, he left the palace under Guo Peng's joyful gaze.

Not long after, Cao Cao came to pay homage to Guo Peng.

Cao Cao was deeply implicated in the Cui Yan case before, so he was punished seriously, but he had not lost his political power. He was considered a retreat in a sense, so Cao Cao could still feel Guo Peng's preferential treatment to him.

After that, he apologized to Guo Peng several times and promised that he would not participate in the political struggle casually in the future, which was the result of Guo Peng's "forgiveness".

Now among the punished officials, Cao Cao was the first to revive his career and re-engage the work of the cabinet.

He was busy here, but Guo Peng actually asked Su Yuan to bring a Kushan envoy to buy tea from him. As soon as he bought it, he had to buy a lot of it. The lion spoke loudly.

Cao Cao felt very unhappy.

He felt that this Kushan envoy was deliberately showing off his wealth.

Is it great to have money?

If you have money, you can do whatever you want?

I tell you that in our Wei Kingdom, money will always be a slave to power!

Countryside!

So when he got angry, Cao Cao raised the price high, which was even more expensive than the price of gold itself.

Cao Cao set a price and said that he would buy two pounds of gold for a pound of tea. Can you afford it?

He was ready to mock this country bumpkin who only knew how to use money to make the way, so that he could not buy it even if he had money.

As a result, the guy quickly sent a box of about 100 kilograms of Kushan gold coins to Cao's mansion, placed it in front of Cao Cao, and told Cao Cao that he wanted to buy fifty kilograms of tea and take it away.

The gold coins were heavy, golden and shiny.

As soon as the box was opened, the mockery that Cao Cao had already rushed to his throat disappeared for no reason.

Sorry, you can really do whatever you want with money.

The reason why some people think they can't be is probably because they don't have enough money.

Cao Cao always thought he was still very rich.

But when he saw that the other party easily took out so much gold, he was sure that he was really not as rich as the nobles of the Kushan Empire.

Not only him, Cao Hong, the richest man in the Cao family, could not easily take out so much gold to buy tea.

Most of the gold in the Wei Empire was in Guo's vault.

Except for those buried underground, there is not much gold in the hands of private people, because a large part of it was obtained by Mr. Guo in the war by destroying the powerful manor.

The precious metals such as gold and silver that were scattered among the people were heavily controlled by Guo during the War of Unification by Guo, and the gold in the hands of Cao Cao and others was no exception.

Over the years, all these gold and silver have been taken back into their vault by Mr. Guo in various ways. They don’t have much gold and silver in their hands.

They are rich, but basically they are equivalents such as copper coins, silk, silk, and grain, as well as other antiques, jade books and so on.

The others are real estate and people, such as the land and population in private estates.

It's not gold, but real wealth.

The rules of the Wei Empire have made some contributions over the years and were rewarded by Guo with a little gold or silver, which is just a thought, and you didn't let you spend it as money.

The gold and silver were basically in the hands of Mr. Guo, so Cao Cao was amazed when he suddenly saw so much gold.

Why do they have so much gold?

Cao Cao had the idea that Guo Peng had before.

Then immediately, the body began to act against the will of the brain.

He didn't have that much tea in his hand, so he rushed to Cao Hong's house to get the tea.

He knew that Cao Hong's family would definitely not be short of tea.

Cao Hong was not sure about this, and when he heard that Cao Cao wanted more than 30 kilograms of tea, he was shocked.

As a result, Cao Cao wanted to take it without saying anything. He was so anxious that Cao Hong didn't hold it back, and Cao Cao and his men snatched more than 30 kilograms of tea in a nearly snatched manner.

Cao Cao just said that he would definitely not let you suffer any losses, so he left.

Now Cao Cao had tea, so he raised fifty kilograms and asked Longlihe's messenger to take it away, and then obtained 100 kilograms of Kushan gold coins.

The golden color almost dyed Cao Cao's pupils the same color.

Afterwards, Cao Cao went to the palace to talk about this matter with Guo Peng.

"The Kushan country can use gold and silver as coins for circulation, which shows that its country has gold and silver, so I must trade with them to obtain enough gold and silver. Although the amount of copper coins is large, the price is cheap after all."

Then Guo looked at Cao Cao with an inexplicable look.

"The Kushans gave a lot of gold to buy tea, right? Is there a lot of quantity? What is the color? Is the casting exquisite?"

Cao Cao was a little scared by Guo's look, and then he quickly understood what Guo's meaning was.

Soon, a box of gold coins was exchanged for fifty kilograms of tea by Guo, and Cao Cao did not suffer any loss.

At least until the tea production explodes, Cao Cao will not suffer any losses, and Cao Hong will naturally not.

But Mr. Guo is a gold-swalking beast!

Of course, it is not enough to just a small amount of tea.

Tea cannot help Guo make money in Wei. It will take two or three years to fully occupy the Kushan market. The most important thing is to export bulk goods.

Silk, porcelain, lacquerware, iron pot.

These four examples are the most promising bulk transaction goods in Guo’s hands. Among them, silk is naturally the flagship product of the Wei Empire’s foreign trade exports and is irreplaceable.

Mr. Guo now asked Man Chong to vigorously support the Shu brocade industry in Shuzhong and manufacture large quantities of high-quality Shu brocade in order to accumulate large-scale foreign trade orders in the future.

Chengdu was originally called Jinguan City. Now Guo re-established Jinguan, holding the Sichuan Jinshi Silk Trade in hand, not allowing private participation in this matter, and nationalizing it in full.

The production of silk requires a stable political situation as a support, which is the task of Man Chong and Le Jin.

Since Man Chong became the governor of Yizhou, he has helped Le Jin to calm down all the vassal states and thieves in northern Yizhou, and the situation in northern Yizhou has basically stabilized.

The centrifugal forces in the Sichuan Basin were wiped out, and the ruling power of the Wei Empire had already gained a foothold in the Sichuan Basin. Since this is the case, it is time to transition to the stage of smooth governance.

Guo's demand for Shujin's output has been raised to a high level. If Man Chong cannot deliver a satisfactory answer, even if Guo does not blame him, he will not forgive himself.

So Man Chong started to do it.
