Chapter 15 Crazy Orders

Cao Ang was familiar with the Three Kingdoms and knew how serious the Cao army was in short supply of food.

In order to alleviate the dilemma of insufficient military expenditure, Cao Cao did not hesitate to set up two positions: the lieutenant of the Jin Dynasty and the General of the Faqiu, specializing in digging graves and digging graves. Therefore, he was respected as the ancestor by tomb robbers.

Just this, I still mixed jerky meat into military rations every few days.

If it weren't for being forced, who would have done such a thing that would harm your good deeds and harm your descendants?

To put it simply, the short life of Emperor Wen of Wei and Emperor Ming of Wei may not have nothing to do with this matter.

Xun Yu was stunned, and after a long time, he said, "Young Master Gao Yi, I admire you."

Although Cao Ang's move is inconsistent with the current mainstream, he is raising military expenses for his father.

To put it simply, that is to fulfill filial piety.

To put it bluntly, isn’t it just to help the Han Dynasty eliminate the rebels as soon as possible?

For the sake of the great man, people gave up their face and were willing to be criticized by thousands of people. What else could Xun Yu say: "Give me three sets of these furniture each, how much is the total cost? I'll send someone to your house."

All the officials present came from famous families, had big families and large populations. Who doesn’t need more than a dozen?

They are not like Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, and they need family property to be used as military capital. They have become rich for several generations.

Originally, they thought the price was a bit high and wanted to bargain, but Xun Yu bought it directly, so they were embarrassed to speak again.

Kong Rong stepped forward and said, "Give me ten sets, when will I be sent to the mansion?"

A big customer.

Cao Ang hurriedly asked, "No problem, I wonder if Kong Shaofu has any requirements for other aspects, such as styles and materials?"

After moving the capital to Xu County last year, Cao Cao conquered Kong Rong as a general and later promoted him to serve as the commander of the Shaofu.

Kong Rong said in surprise: "What, can we change it?"

Cao Ang smiled and said, "I'm not hiding the Shaofu. At present, Ang has only these in his hands and has not had time to make other furniture. Therefore, if the Shaofu Order has any dissatisfaction, please propose it. You will then order someone to build it. You will definitely send it to your mansion within three days, but you will have to pay a deposit in advance."

What, no goods?

You can sell it before you create it, and you can make a fortune by making a fortune?

Kong Rong's face became very exciting, and the others were the same, staring at Cao Ang as if he was watching a monster.

They always pay for the money and deliver the goods in one hand. When did they do such a transaction that pays a deposit first and then delivers the goods?

Everyone looked at each other for a long time. The uncle Dong Cheng was the first to step forward and said, "Give me twenty sets, how much is the total amount and how much is the deposit to pay? Let me tell me a correct number."

Xun Yu's face turned bad and looked at Dong Cheng.

Cao Ang was empty-handed and didn't even have an abacus. How could he calculate the value of so many sets of furniture in a short period of time? You are obviously making things difficult for others.

Others also quickly reacted, some gloating and some browsing.

After a closer look, it was all the bastards around Dong Cheng who were gloating.

Although Xun Yu and others who were interested in Cao Cao were dissatisfied, they were inconvenient to speak at this time, so they had to look at Cao Ang helplessly, wanting to see how he dealt with it.

Cao Ang was too lazy to argue with this guy who was chopped up by Cao Cao for a few years and fed the dog. He sat at the table and checked the bamboo slips and said directly: "Sofa, coffee table, bed, bookcase, wardrobe, antique flower stand, a set of 98,723, twenty sets of 1974,460, a fraction of 197,000, a fraction of 197,000, a fraction of 30% of the deposit is 592,338, a fraction of 592,338, a fraction of 59,000, a certainty of 590, a certainty of 60,000, does the uncle still have any questions?

If the uncle of the country has doubts about the calculations of the younger generation, he can check them himself."

Nearly two million, you robbed.

Two million yuan, only 40,000 stones of grain. Dongjia’s family business is quite large, so he doesn’t care much, but why are you so unwilling to give it to Cao Ang?

No, how did he calculate it? He gave the exact number so quickly, and he wouldn't be full of nonsense, right?

Dong Cheng was about to refute, but Kong Rong, who was closest to Cao Ang, couldn't help but ask: "Young master, what kind of words are you, I have never seen before?"

Cao Ang replied: "This is called Arabic numerals. It is said that they were invented by people from the Kushan Empire. I'll explain it to the adults."

Afterwards, Cao Ang explained to Kong Rong the application of Arabic numerals, multiplication formula tables and basic mathematical knowledge.

At first, Kong Rong didn't care, and the more he listened, the more he became fascinated.

Slowly, Xun Yu and others also gathered around, listening to Cao Ang's explanation quietly like a primary school student. Taking advantage of the gap, Cao Ang couldn't help but ask a few questions, and Cao Ang also answered patiently.

Soon, the furniture exhibition site became a basic mathematics classroom, with a group of great men and nobles sitting on the sofa, on the coffee table, on the desk, and on the bed, which made them so fascinated.

The Han Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty in later generations. It had a heartfelt desire for any useful knowledge, inclusiveness and strength itself.

In order to go east, Qin State recruited talents everywhere.

In order to defeat the Huns, Emperor Wu of Han ordered Wei Qing to learn the Huns' cavalry and shooting tactics and sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions.

It is precisely because of this kind of studious spirit that the Han people in the Central Plains will stand for thousands of years.

Whether it was facing the Northern Di, Xirong, Dongyi, or the Xiongnu who forced Emperor Gaozu to sign the city alliance, they had never been afraid.

This lecture lasted for several hours. It was not until snowflakes floated in the sky that Cao Ang stopped, picked up the purple clay teapot on the table and drank it all over and said, "Let's get here today. I have to go back to customize furniture for Xun Shangshu and Kong Shaofu. By the way, do you guys have to order?"

Zhao Wen, Fu Wan, Wei Huang, Wu Zilan and others stepped forward and placed an order with Cao Ang.

All the civil and military officials in the court were all big players, and the fewest ones ordered were more than five sets. Fu Wan, the general of the auxiliary country, even ordered thirty sets in one breath.

After the final calculation, the number of sets was as high as 98,723, each set, which totaled up to more than 96 million yuan. If it were food, it would be more than 2 million stones, which was enough for Cao Cao to fight a large battle for several years.

This number surprised Xun Yu. His lips were trembling and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

These gentry members are so rich! Cao Ang was not surprised at all.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, land annexation was serious, and most of the land was in the hands of these fat and fat gentry in front of them. Only those who looked down upon would be thrown to ordinary people.

If not, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would not have broken out.

But no matter how hard the Yellow Turban thieves are, they are ordinary people who are hurt, and they do not cause much harm to this group of gentry who are good at avoiding risks.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion arrived, they had already collected or transferred their property.

They did not spend money on rebellion, and if anyone did not have tens of millions of stones of food in his hands, he would be embarrassed to come out to meet people.

Xun Yu thought for a while, then came to Cao Ang with a shameless face and said, "Grandmaster, Lord Sikong has sent a letter and urged the food and grass again. Look?"

What does it mean? You just have the idea before you get the money?

It was just for his father, and Cao Ang couldn't say anything. He endured the pain and said, "Okay, I'll just do it."

Xun Yu stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "Young master's filial piety is a way to see the world."

Cao Ang smiled a little reluctantly.

Half of it was nearly 50 million. His heart was thrust and hurt by this knife.

After registering the order, everyone was about to leave, Cao Ang said again: "Sir, seniors, the first floor of the world will open tomorrow. All dishes will be 20% off. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the food!"

Several officials staggered at the same time.

Even the restaurant has been opened. Is this man really planning to change his career and become a businessman?

Everyone dispersed, Cao Ang waved his hand and ordered: "Hu San, send these furniture to Lord Xun Yu's mansion safely."

Hu San received the order, and soon, only Cao Ang and Wen Hua were left in front of the palace gate.

Wen Hua gave a thumbs up and said, "Young Master, you won 90 million in less than an hour, and the villain was convinced."
