If the scapegoat was Yuan Kui, then there was no need for Cao Ang to be polite.
He nodded with absolute certainty. It should be more than 500,000 to 600,000 dans, at least 700,000 dans! However, Your Majesty, I am prepared to expand Misty Villa. I will take advantage of the warm weather to store a batch of black gold.”
"Look at this."
Cao Ang's tone was very long.
The meaning of his words was very clear. I have my own use for this batch of grain. Don't have this idea.
Of course, this was just to pave the way for the price increase later. After all, compared to the war between the three armies, excavating black gold was just a drop in the ocean. They had to obey the deployment!
Liu Hong waved his hand to stop Cao Ang. He turned to Yuan Kui and said softly,"Yuan Qing, I have an appropriate solution that can save your grandson's life and allow Meng De to fight in peace.”
Yuan Kui naturally understood what Liu Hong was planning.
He quickly cupped his hands and bowed.”
Liu Hong's lips curved slightly.""In fact, the method is very simple. I will personally appease Cao Ang and Cao Cao. You will spend money to buy the provisions of Misty Villa to serve as an army. That money can be considered compensation for this kid.”
Without waiting for Yuan Kui to reply.
Cao Ang pretended to be angry, as if he was possessed by Brother Fa, and immediately exploded,"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Although I am a despicable person, I can't do this. What if someone tries to assassinate me again?”
Hmm?
Liu Hong's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Cao Ang.
Cao Ang naturally wanted to argue. After all, it involved the price of grain. The more he was unhappy, the higher the price would be.
"Your Majesty!"
"You're the wise and mighty Emperor!”
"You have to uphold justice for this commoner. The most precious thing to a person is their life. You only have one life. Attempting to assassinate is equivalent to killing someone.”
Although Liu Hong's face showed some anger, he was happy in his heart. This kid was very smart. The harder this matter was to resolve, the more it would reflect the value of the Emperor.
"How could I not know that you have suffered? If you had not bought Misty Villa at an extremely low price, would Yuan Tan have risked his life to assassinate you?”
"To put it bluntly, you're also responsible for this!”
"Your Majesty!" Cao Ang immediately retorted. Heaven and earth! This commoner still has the signatures of both parties. This commoner didn't force the Yuan Family. He was the one who wanted to sell Misty Villa!”
"In the end, it's them who didn't discover Black Gold. What does it have to do with me? Your Majesty, you're obviously siding with the Yuan family. This commoner is not convinced. You're unfair!”
Liu Hong turned to look at Yuan Kui.
" Cao Ang!" Yuan Kui was enlightened and immediately said," This Yuan is willing to pay double the price to buy the grain in your hands. Moreover, from now on, the Yuan family will definitely not go against you because of Misty Villa."”
Tsk!
Yours Truly did not care.
What can you do to me?
However, even though Cao Ang thought so, he couldn't say that.
He deliberately glanced at the Emperor and let out a long breath. He said softly,""Lord Yuan, since this matter has His Majesty's guarantee, then I, Cao Ang, naturally have to give some face.”
"However…"
At this point, Cao Ang turned to Yuan Kui.""We still have to discuss the price carefully. I'm sure you know that this batch of grain is for me to expand the scale of mining.”
"Although its capital is only so much, once it mines black gold, its value will be much more than that. Now, the Imperial Court wants to buy food, which will definitely affect the scale of my mining.”
"This loss should be borne by you, right?”
"Yes!" Liu Hong nodded. That's right, it makes sense."
The emperor would get a share of Black Gold, so he would naturally agree to this.
Yuan Kui could only nod." No problem. My Yuan Family is willing to bear the losses."”
"That's great!"
Cao Ang continued,"Since the Yuan Family is willing to bear the losses, how much should they bear? If I ask for more, Lord Yuan will definitely be unhappy. If I ask for less, I, Cao Ang, will also be unhappy.”
"Then it's best if we speak with data.”
At this point, Cao Ang seemed to have transformed into a profiteer and began to scheme."I've calculated carefully. These refugees don't need wages, but they need to eat. An adult man needs to consume two stones of grain every month!”
Although Yuan Kui was a scholar, he was proficient in military warfare.
A normal man in the army would need to consume a stone and a half of grain every month. Cao Ang was a laborer, so it was reasonable for him to consume two stones of grain.
He nodded in agreement.
Cao Ang continued," An adult man can excavate 100 catties of black gold every day. One catty of black gold is sold for five coins, which is equivalent to 500 coins! If he calculated it this way, it would be 15,000 yuan a month!”
Hiss ~~~
All the civil and military officials in the hall were shocked.
This wasn't considered not knowing, but it was shocking.
According to Cao Ang's calculation method, a refugee could create one and a half horseshoe gold in a month.
And its cost was only two grains.
But how much was two stones worth?
It was only a few hundred coins!
What the f * ck!
It was simply a huge profit!
A layer of sweat appeared on Yuan Kui's forehead. If this method was imposed on the Yuan family, even if they went bankrupt, they would not be able to afford much grain.
One must know that Cao Ang had 700,000 dans of grain in his hands. If he were to casually take out 100,000 dans of grain, the Yuan Family would be in big trouble.
This motherf * cker!
It was a complete trap!
"Cao Ang, you can't settle this score like this!" Yuan Ji immediately said. After all, the black gold was still in the mountains and had not been sold. The profits needed to be reduced!”
"Moreover, I heard that the black gold that is dug out needs to be processed before it can be put on the market. You only counted the people who dug it, but you didn't count the people who handled it.”
Tsk tsk!
Cao Ang originally thought that the Yuan Family was not very proficient in business.
However, he didn't expect that this Grand Servant Yuan Ji was so skilled that he could actually point out so many tricks.
However, Cao Ang naturally had a backup plan. He said softly,"That's right! You are right, but this assassination has caused me immeasurable psychological damage.”
"Let's not talk about anything else. In the future, when I go out on the streets, I will definitely have two bodyguards by my side, and they must be the type of peerless experts. Their prices are not low!”
"I'm only thirteen years old now, and a conservative estimate is that I can live to eighty years old, which means that I have sixty-seven years. On average, the price of a bodyguard is one gold per year, which is at least 140 horseshoe gold.”
"Other than that, there's also the mental damage fee, profit loss fee, social contribution loss fee, and other miscellaneous fees. It's enough to offset what you said.”
“......”
Cao Ang's words shocked everyone!
Even Liu Hong seemed to have opened a door.
Damn it, compared to Cao Ang, he was like a pig!
