When Cai Mao heard this, his face was full of shame and anger. Due to the fact that Guan Yu held the blue dragon Yan Yue, Zhang Fei held a snake spear eight feet long, and Zhao Yun held the silver gentian, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
If you can't beat it, who will be able to endure it?
"My dear nephew, if you don't want to tell me, my uncle won't force you."
Liu was obviously unhappy on the surface, "Why humiliate Cai Mao?"
Although Liu Bei looked down on Cai Mao, he was Liu Biao's brother-in-law after all, and Liu Mang couldn't offend him to death.
"Uncle, this is wrong! My nephew, I sincerely plan for you."
Liu Mang bowed his hand, and Kuai Yue said sarcastically: "Young master has already ridiculed Governor Cai for doing business in the underworld, how can you say that he is sincerely planning for Liu Jingzhou?"
Not to be outdone, Liu Mang said: "Kuai Yidu's words are like a frog at the bottom of a well, and the sparrows are chirping. How can I know the ambition of a swan?"
you!
Kuai Yue was so angry that his chest felt tight. Liu Mang repeatedly called him a toad and a sparrow. How could he, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, tolerate this?
"My dear nephew, tell me how you can make me, Jingzhou, make a fortune?"
"Before I answer my uncle's question, let me ask you something! Do you know how Cao Cao made his fortune back then?"
Cao Cao’s family history?
If Yuan Shao IV and Three Dukes were from a family of eunuchs, then Cao Cao was a veritable family of eunuchs.
His grandfather Cao Teng and his father Cao Song made a lot of money. Cao Cao also encountered many failures when he launched an army against Chen Liu. However, relying on the family's strong financial resources, he was able to make a comeback every time.
But even with a family as strong as Cao Cao's, there are times when things are stretched thin.
Liu Biao frowned and said: "The old thief Cao Teng and Cao Song are eating my salary as a great man, but filling their own pockets. It is really hateful!"
Cai Mao said softly: "Mr. Cao...Cao Cao has won countless battles, so naturally he can find a lot of trophies!"
Kuai Yue sneered: "Cao Cao occupies the north. Isn't it easy to do business? It's not like some yellow-tongued kids who only know how to use their words!"
Liu Mang smiled and shook his head, "You are all wrong! Under Cao Cao, there is an official named Faqiu Zhonglang General, and his subordinates also have Mojin Xiaowei. Do you know?"
Touch the gold captain?
Guan Yu's face was ashen. He had been in Cao Ying before, so he naturally knew what these people were doing.
At that time, Cao Cao lacked military pay, so the graves of all the famous people, even those who knew Cao Cao during his lifetime, were visited by Captain Mo Jin!
Cao Cao survived the difficulties time and time again by digging people's graves and reselling burial objects.
If the imperial mausoleum hadn't been too far away from Cao Cao, Liu Mang believed that this traitor would have dug up the Eastern Han emperor's tomb without hesitation!
"Touch Captain Jin? My dear nephew, you might as well just say so!"
"Uncle, the main job of this kind of official position is to search for tombs, especially those belonging to aristocratic families, and then dig out the burial objects."
"Asshole! Cao Mengde is so disrespectful to the dead!"
When Liu Biao heard this, he was angry and slapped the case. Cai Mao and Kuai Yue did not dare to say anything.
"My dear nephew, Murphy, do you want me to learn from Cao Cao?"
"Uncle, we have to do the opposite."
Liu Mang spoke eloquently: "Cao Cao digs people's graves like this. I wonder who among the Central Plains families would dare to bury their relatives?"
"If my uncle sets up a special place in Jingzhou, and it is said that this place has excellent feng shui, it can be called an underground CBD, and it is the back garden of life. How can these aristocratic families not come?"
"At that time, my uncle only needs to find a few barren mountains and ridges and sell the cemetery to the wealthy people in the Central Plains. Wouldn't it be a hugely profitable deal?"
Cemetery, can it still be sold?
Liu Mang's words simply refreshed Liu Biao's understanding.
“Fields can be sold, why can’t cemeteries be sold?”
Liu Mang said plausibly: "Besides, there is danger in the burial in the Central Plains. It was all caused by Cao Cao. What does it have to do with my uncle?"
"My uncle gave the wealthy people of the Central Plains the opportunity to bury their ancestors. They can't thank you enough!"
"By the way, the pruning and maintenance of grave grass is also a cost! My uncle can ask them for money every year!"
Liu Biao didn't react in time. After careful consideration, he felt that what Liu Mang said was very reasonable.
If you, Cao Cao, dig people's graves, then I, Liu Biao, will do the opposite!
When the time comes, the Central Plains gentry will turn their hearts to Jingzhou!
Even your ancestors are buried in Jingzhou, so why don't you respect me?
Thinking of this, Liu Biao felt happy both physically and mentally, and he no longer had any doubts about Liu Bei and his son.
Compared with the back garden of life, the wine business is just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning!
"My lord, you must not listen to the nonsense of such a dirty kid!"
Cai Hao said anxiously: "He is a junior, who knows whether what he said is true or false?"
Guan Yu snorted coldly: "Guan was once in Cao Ying, and under Xiahou Dun, there were General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin!"
"Don't you believe what Guan said?"
Unable to believe it, Guan Yu could only choose to prove it with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
Cai Hao nodded quickly and said: "Since General Guan has spoken, let's take what Mr. Liu Mang said as true!"
Kuai Yue took the opportunity to say: "Young Master's words may have some truth! But if we do this, won't we offend Cao Cao? Will it make us hate Jingzhou?"
Kuai Yue snorted coldly: "My lord, don't offend Cao Cao just because of temporary gains!"
When Liu Biao heard this, he obviously fell into his old habit again and fell into deep thought.
"Brother! You previously allied with Yuan Shao to fight against Cao Cao!"
"Although the Yuan family is declining now, it has not fallen! The third son of Yuan Shao is still resisting Cao Cao in Hebei!"
"If Jingzhou cannot take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen itself, how will it resist Cao Cao's invasion in the future?"
Liu Bei said: "My son's advice, although it has flaws, is still a masterful move!"
"Cao Cao is not in Xudu now. This is a good opportunity for my brother to make a move! Please don't miss it!"
Liu Biao thought of his ally Yuan Shao and was defeated in Guandu. Now his three sons are left to survive.
Fear of offending Cao Cao could not prevent Cao Cao from going south in the future.
As long as Cao Cao pacifies the north, his next target will definitely be Jingzhou!
"Okay! Rather than sit back and wait for death, it's better to take the initiative!"
"When we build a cemetery, we can pour dirty water on Cao Cao and let the world see his ugly face clearly!"
"Cai Mao! I'll leave this matter to you!"
ah?
Cai Mao was flattered, and Liu Mang smiled and said: "Captain Cai, I have already said that you are not suitable for business in the world of the world!"
"It's normal for people from the underworld to do business in the underworld!"
Cai Mao gritted his teeth, but he could only choose to obey Liu Biao's order.
"Don't worry, my lord, Cai Mao will definitely handle this matter!"
"Well! Kuai Yue, you also go and assist Cai Mao, and together we can build the back garden of life that the good nephew said!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The two of them were going to supervise the construction of the cemetery, with joy written all over their faces.
Liu Mang bowed and said: "Uncle Mingjian, I believe this move will definitely win the favor of the Central Plains nobles!"
Liu Biao nodded, then looked at Liu Bei, "Dear brother! I wonder if Mang'er has a good match now?"
Coming!
The thing that Liu Bei worried about the most came as promised!
"My wife has a niece who is a virtuous and virtuous woman! If Mang'er doesn't have a good match, she can bring them together."
"No!"
Before Liu Biao finished speaking, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei refused in unison!
