Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 50 Cao Cao and Cai Hao

Zhongping five years, February 23, cloudy.

Shangjun, State Shepherd's Mansion.

After reading Zhang Cheng's letter, Liu Bei was not intimidated by the dire prospect the other party described.

Although I don't know whether Cai Hao will be beheaded by Boss Cao in this life, but he really has a lot of background in shipping navy.

Getting stuck is easy, but what happens next?

Craftsmen who build seagoing ships, as long as they spend money and thought, they will be found sooner or later.

Blocking, in most cases, will only backfire.

Second, is monopoly really good?

Without comparison and competition, will SF Express become corrupt, degraded and bureaucratic in the future?

Compared with an open and enterprising attitude, interests are not the most important thing, not to mention that the sea area is so wide that ten SF Express numbers are not enough.

Then, let the arctic catfish of the Cai family come to steal a teacher and learn the art, and let Zhang Cheng keep vigilant all the time, just like Zhen Ji's teahouse.

People are forced out!

It's just a matter of time to see if this commander of the navy who caused Soochow a headache is worthy of his name?

Write a reply and send it.

Well, next time, go back to the backyard and continue to develop the treasure and concubine.

After the new year, Mi Ying turned sixteen.

One day in the first month of the lunar year, Hou Ye, who is drunk, drunk, strong, cowardly and cowardly, hazy, hey, hey, hey!
He walked briskly into the backyard, teased little Liu Chan, and then told his precious daughter Liu Yifei a story about eating Mickey Mouse and a candy-eating duck, performed two little magic tricks, kissed his wife's forehead, and finally got free.

cut!
The sour lady heard a "boom!" before the sour smell dissipated.

A probe, a hundred hits.

"If you don't shop for a day, you feel bad, don't you?"

The radiant glazed cup shattered into several petals.

The culprit was the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion who was pinched by her mother because cats disliked dogs and abandoned her ears.

"Wuuuuuuu, father, mother is beating someone again, help me."

It's a pity that at this moment, the savior of the Hou Mansion was so distracted in Mi Ying's boudoir that she didn't hear him at all.

Seeing the two concubines with very different styles in the same room, Hou Ye's heart was like boiling water, bubbling non-stop.

Do you want to try the big quilt?
Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded when he received the lord's reply.

I'm going!

The one hundred slips and eight pieces of letter paper were all written in vain?
He deliberately refused to implement it, but, thinking about power, status and wealth, he could only hold his nose and invite Cao Ang and Cai Mao.

"My lord has agreed. If necessary, SF Express will fully cooperate."

Cai Mao, who hurried to Kuaiji, was shocked.

This is good, and there is no need to steal the teacher.

However, pizza will not fall from the sky, and if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

"Mr. Xuande's mind is so broad that it's hard to be in case! I don't know if there is anything I can do for you?"

Cao Ang never expected that he would have an answer in half a month.

That is to say, Shangjun received the letter and made a decision on the same day, which is really kind!
Zhang Cheng smiled slightly, and asked, "Since De Gui mentioned it, I have a question I would like to ask."

"But it doesn't matter if you say it, you know everything."

"I don't know how many sea-going ships Degui wants to build? Are the materials available? Are there any funds?"

Cai Mao showed a slight surprise and looked at Cao Ang.

During this period of time, they also roughly calculated that if they wanted to keep up with the SF Express, they would need at least six sea-going ships first, and then catch up bit by bit.

In this way, at least 60 taels of silver must be invested, Cao Cao can barely squeeze out 20, Cai Hao sells iron for 20, and finds ways to pull people together to get [-], and there is still a shortfall of [-].

Cao Ang thought for a while, even if it is concealed now, the other party can roughly calculate it after looking at the materials after the start of work.

"To tell the truth from Director Zhang, there is still a shortage of 20 taels of silver for the first batch of six sea-going ships."

Recently, SF Express has a good income, so Zhang Cheng said, "If you don't mind, for the 20 taels, you can borrow from Huitong Bank with an annual interest of [-]%."

Cai Mao's eyes widened.

"Thirty percent? Annual interest?"

These days, the monthly interest rate of private loans exceeds [-]%, and the annual interest rate of [-]% is almost the same as free gift.

Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "What? Degui doesn't believe me?"

"Where is!"

Cai Mao was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's really unexpected. If so, I will borrow it."

As a result, it is impossible for Cai Mao to take advantage of the cheapness alone.

The Cao and Cai families each borrowed 10 taels of silver, mortgaged the three water tanks, shipbuilding materials, and future seagoing ships, and repaid 26 taels of silver with interest at the end of the year.

After the two parties signed the loan agreement, Zhang Cheng took the two of them to observe the sailor camp.

Because the camp was strictly guarded, Cao Ang and Cai Hao entered for the first time, and then Grandma Liu naturally entered the Grand View Garden.

Boarded the training ship, from the deck to the wheelhouse, then to the paddle wheel control room, and then to the watertight cabin, looked inside and out.

Finally, Cao Ang pointed to a protruding semi-circular platform on the front deck and asked, "Director Zhang, this is?"

Zhang Cheng smiled meaningfully, and put it off: "Multi-purpose workbench."

Being open does not mean being unreserved, Master Hou is not stupid.

Cao Ang and Cai Mao also knew it well, overlooking the sea with people's heads up and down, it was very spectacular.

But he saw Director Zhang take off his clothes and pants, jumped high from the deck, turned around, writhed for two and a half weeks, and plunged straight into the water.

The degree of difficulty is 207c, and the technology of water pressing is excellent.

The two referees, Cao and Cai, both gave a high score of 98.

Cao Ang's heart became hot, and he wanted to take off his clothes and go into the water. Cai Mao hurriedly grabbed the little brother Sunshine who didn't understand anything.

Remind him: it's only March, if you don't practice adaptation every day, you will have cramp.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Cheng jumped ashore steaming, wiping the water while putting on his robe.

"Mr. Cao, brother Degui, don't blame me. The military doctor said that swimming once a day is good for your physical and mental health."

Cai Mao's heart moved, and he took advantage of the situation and asked: "Director Zhang, I have an unfeeling request. My sailors also want to ask your instructors for advice, is it possible?"

Zhang Cheng had expected it a long time ago, which was also the reason for bringing them here.

"Why not? Just pay a fee per head. I'll ask the accountant later and give Brother Degui an accurate number."

Cao Ang and Cai Mao were overjoyed.

The SF Express is formal and majestic, this is called a sailor, and my original grass-roots team can't see it at all.

Besides, after half a year's journey by sea, he could save a lot of time and energy by just giving some pointers.

Mr. Xuande is really an open-minded man!

The next day, Cao and Cai received an offer: the training period will be three months, each student will pay [-] yuan, and they must strictly abide by relevant regulations after entering the camp.

The two knew it well, based on what they saw and heard yesterday, the price was absolutely fair.

Cao Ang and Cai Mao rushed back that day, hoping to implement it as soon as possible.

Every night and day, SF Express will travel farther.

On March [-]th, Cai Mao returned to the mansion to hold a family meeting.

Not only money, but also people.

All the children of the Cai family went to Kuaiji for training if they could.

A new world is just around the corner, and endless wealth awaits the owner. How can the Cai family be willing to be left behind?
Cai Zhong was a little worried, and asked, "Why is SF Express treating my brother so kindly? Is there any fraud?"

Cai He was so excited that he said, "Second brother, after going to see it, it will be clear?"

Cai Mao immediately made a decision, and the third younger brother Cai He led the family children to Kuaiji.

The second younger brother Cai Zhong is too conservative, lacks self-confidence, and is not suitable for business.

The third younger brother Cai He is willing to accept new things and dare to take risks. Only such a personality has a chance to succeed.

Because, for real businessmen, business opportunities are more important than life.

During the trip to Kuaiji, there is another insight.

When the ruling and opposition parties are in chaos, without the support of strong men in the military and political circles, the richer the merchants, the more dangerous they are.

Therefore, Cai Mao decided to go further with the Cao family.

At the beginning of April, Hanzhong, the prefect's mansion.

Cai Mao married his younger sister to Cao Cao as his concubine, establishing a marriage between the two families.

At this time, Zhang Lu was the prefect of Shu County. Because of the fierce competition for the court, Yizhou Mu was still pending.

After a secret discussion with Cao Cao, Cai Mao hurried to the east capital after obtaining the consent.

A few days later, the general recommended him, the emperor agreed, and the imperial court issued a decree to promote Liu Biao, the royal family, to be the shepherd of Yizhou.

Under Cai Mao's operation, many sages in Jingzhou, including the Kuai family and the down-and-out Zhuge family, came to Yizhou to occupy key positions.

The news that Liu Jingsheng, one of the Eight Talents, took over Yizhou's military administration reached Zhang Lu's ears.

Knowing that Cao Cao "agreed with pleasure", Zhang Lu was greatly enlightened.

Boss Cao politely said: Qingcheng Mountain is the most secluded, and I and Zhou Mu gave it to Gongqi Qingxiu.

　Dear friends, is there a man who will be the One Piece?
