It was late at night, and Chu Nan felt that his spirit had been sublimated after galloping. He lay on the couch without any desire, gently hugging his beloved wife's toned body, while thinking about the current situation in his mind.
After half a month of indulgence, prices in Xuchang are like wild horses that are out of control. The disaster of monsters, the break of the original supply chain, and the failure of the new supply chain to be connected in time have all led to the current situation.
Reasons for the soaring prices in Xuchang.
However, the atmosphere has now been pushed to a high point. Qiao Rui chose to come here at this time. It was just the right time. The core of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce also began to secretly lay out the plan under Chu Nan's arrangement. The news has now spread out after adding fuel to the fire. According to
Not only the Central Plains, but also many well-informed families from other forces began to take notice of the intelligence coming from the border guards.
There is enough food to eat. If nothing else, the food obtained from the house raids during this period is enough to cope with the current crisis. However, it is more appropriate to resolve this matter through business. The current pain is temporary. After this incident, a lot of things can be solved.
The wealth was concentrated, and even the wool of other princes was harvested.
As for whether this will offend the nobles... this doesn't seem to be something I need to consider.
Chu Nan has no doubt that if those people had the ability, he would have been cut into pieces by now. In fact, although there was no apparent assassination, Chu Nan was keenly aware that every move he made was under the influence of others.
Under surveillance, if these people were capable enough, he did not doubt his fate.
Anyway, they are all at odds with each other. This is the most troublesome problem for the princes in the world. On the contrary, Chu Nan does not need to worry about it. He does not need to take into account the face of the nobles.
After this matter is over, Xuchang should be able to calm down for some time. Then he is going to go to Xinzheng. It would be best if he can really let his father-in-law follow him this time.
"Husband~" Lu Lingqi's voice was a little lazy in the darkness, a little less heroic than when she was outside, and a little more like a little girl.
Chu Nan's originally pure and clear state of mind instantly caused ripples.
Having a good physique is not a good thing!
Hearing his wife's angry voice, Chu Nan smiled awkwardly and looked down at the chess piece lying in front of his chest: "What's the matter?"
"I would like to hand over the affairs of the Demon Suppression Department to my two sisters first." Lu Lingqi said softly.
"Why?" Chu Nan asked confused, isn't his wife very belligerent?
"I have been married into the Chu family for two years. Now I can control my own magical powers, so..." Lu Lingqi's heroic cheeks showed a rare shy look: "I want to give birth to my husband first.
One son, and then take up the post of governor of the Demon Suppression Department.
It has been more than two years since she married Chu Nan. Previously, because of her inability to fully control her innate supernatural powers, Chu Nan's thousands of descendants were burned to death before they could do anything.
Now that she is able to control her magical powers freely, she should be able to give birth to life.
Looking down at his wife's pretty face, Chu Nan smiled and said, "It's fine if Madam is willing, but...are the Qiao sisters qualified for this?"
Even if you are a temporary agent, you must have the ability to lead troops, right? The Qiao sisters have pretty good magical powers. Being deputy generals and using their powers when necessary can indeed play a big role, but leading troops alone...
"The two of them have been with me for a long time. It may be difficult to lead an army to fight against the enemy, but if it is to deal with monsters, they should be able to do it." Lu Lingqi still has enough trust in her two capable subordinates.
"Okay, we can let the two of them try, but if they are not qualified, I will ask someone else to temporarily take over the position of governor of the Demon Suppression Department." Chu Nan nodded.
"Yeah." Lu Lingqi nodded.
"As for the matter of childbearing, madam, just relax, this matter is a matter of probability." Chu Nan thought.
"What is probability?" Lu Lingqi looked at Chu Nan doubtfully.
"For example, the probability of successful conception is only 10%. It doesn't mean that you and I can get pregnant after having sex ten times. It may be possible to get pregnant on the first time, or it may only take a hundred times. The more times, the closer it is, cough, simple
In other words, it means having sex more often to increase the success rate of conception."
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chu Nan specifically told Zhao Yan that he had important matters to deal with today and would not go to the office. If there was anything he needed to decide, he would leave it to tomorrow.
Zhao Yan responded respectfully. These days, they have also seen Chu Nan's ability. No matter how complicated it is, Chu Nan can tell the authenticity of anything in the account just by looking at it.
Several officials who were arrogant about their talents and wanted to sideline Chu Nan were dismissed from their posts. No one in the Ministry of Revenue dared to play such tricks in front of Chu Nan. However, it was inevitable to complain in private. As expected of a merchant, he was a scheming person.
He is an expert at picking up these things.
Accounting is probably Chu Nan's only talent. Even if he doesn't have this talent, it is not difficult for him to check accounts.
It was almost noon when Qiao Rui arrived at the Chu Mansion. Because of the relationship between the Qiao family sisters, Chu Nan held a family banquet to entertain her.
Family dinner?
Qiao Rui looked at the two daughters living in the Chu family suspiciously, and then at Chu Nan, the smile on her face became a little forced.
"General Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time." Chu Nan saw Qiao Rui and motioned for him to take a seat. Because they were talking about business, Lu Lingqi and the Qiao sisters were not seated, and only two people were seated.
"Shang Shu has been really good this year!" Qiao Rui also sighed with emotion. When Chu Nan defeated Liu Xun, he only thought that Chu Nan was powerful, but it was not enough to compare with those famous generals who have been famous for a long time.
But after the Battle of Runan, Chu Nan can be said to have become famous in one battle. Although it was not as exaggerated as Lu Lingqi's eight hundred and one hundred thousand victory, it swept Runan and defeated Cao Ying's generals in a row. Even Cao Jun's generals like Xiahou Dun died in the battle.
In the hands of Chu Nan, he later fought against Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Although he was not the main general, his achievements were enough to make Chu Nan famous all over the world.
As for the methods later displayed by Taishan County to drive the remnants of Cao's army out of the Central Plains in one fell swoop, it showed Chu Nan's extremely high level of strategy. Today, no one in the world dares to underestimate this merchant.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting across from each other. I don't know if it was due to their status, but this young man with an elegant smile on his face always felt an invisible sense of oppression, which made Qiao Rui feel a little weaker.
I wanted to ask about my daughter first, but I couldn't.
"It's just the right time. I'm not good at military affairs, so I can only resort to some tricks. As for becoming famous...it can only be regarded as a false reputation, but it makes the general laugh." Chu Nan shook his head and said.
"The minister is too humble." Qiao Rui sighed: "If it were once or twice, it could be said to be a trick, but the minister first defeated the Chen family and Jiangdong Sun Ce joined forces, then captured Yuan Shu's Jiujiang, and then wiped out Jianghuai, defeating Cao's army, and becoming the strongest general in the world.
, how many people can do it? If the title of Minister is false, then all the generals in the world will be embarrassed."
Therefore, after you are in a high position, it is difficult to hear the truth. What surrounds your ears is this kind of overt and covert flattery.
"General, please don't say that. This is a great legend. If you win the battle in the future, you should be incompetent. If you lose the battle, you will be incompetent." Chu Nan shook his head and smiled: "I heard Miss Shu say that the general is here this time.
For business?”
Qiao Rui nodded and said: "Shang Shu, please don't call me a general. I have already become an official, and now I am just a merchant. I came to Xuchang this time because I heard the news. This time, Shangshu allowed Xuchang's prices to soar, but I want to borrow money from him."
Will this attract wealthy businessmen from all over the world?"
"Oh?" Chu Nan looked at Qiao Rui with some surprise, and sighed: "It seems that I am still young in Thailand, so Qiao Lao saw through his plan so easily."
"I am outside the office, so I can naturally see it more clearly. The Minister's move is really smart." Seeing Chu Nan lower his head to drink, Qiao Rui suddenly trembled and said quickly: "Don't worry, Minister, only the next person knows about this matter.
The meeting will be announced."
"Mr. Qiao's words are serious, it doesn't matter even if it is rumored." Chu Nan shook his head and said: "Human nature is greedy. Mr. Qiao really thinks that even if you tell people now, those people will give up this high price?"
"This..." Qiao Rui was stunned when he heard this, thought about it, and sighed: "What a conspiracy."
"This person is inherently greedy. Even if he knows that this is a trap, many people will get into it, because they all think that they have seen through the trap and can escape calmly before I close the net, right?" Chu Nan said with a smile: "
It's like Mr. Qiao has seen through it, but he still comes."
"I came here not for this matter. According to the situation laid out by the envoy, even if we cannot make as much profit as expected, we will not lose money." Qiao Rui took a deep breath and had to say that although this young man
Although he is young, he has an extremely accurate grasp of human nature, and Qiao Rui also knows that Chu Nan is not looking for profit. At his position, this kind of profit is just a small gain for him.
"If you don't ask for immediate wealth, then you want more." Chu Nan raised his wine glass and bowed to Qiao Rui, who quickly raised his wine glass to greet him.
"Tell me about it." Chu Nan drank the wine and said with a smile.
"I'm..." Qiao Rui thought for a while, looked at Chu Nan and said: "The reason why prices in Xuchang are so high is because most of the wealthy businessmen coming to and from Xuchang have been reduced. So I came here hoping to have a few shops in Xuchang
, Minister, don’t worry, I can guarantee that the price will not increase without permission, and I am also willing to cooperate with the minister to complete this round."
Chu Nan looked at Qiao Rui and smiled.
Qiao Rui's heart sank, can't it? Or...does he want his daughter? This...
"Mr. Qiao, you didn't become a wealthy businessman but became a general. You really lost your talent!" Chu Nan sighed. He didn't mean to underestimate Qiao Rui. Being a general doesn't mean much achievement, but being a businessman is extremely acumen.
With his insight, if he had been a businessman from the beginning, he might have been a wealthy businessman far surpassing the Mi family.
Of course, with the Qiao family's family background, being a wealthy businessman before Chu Nan became famous would not be considered an achievement no matter how successful he was.
"The minister's intention is..." Qiao Rui looked at Chu Nan uncertainly.
"Can!"
Something happened here in the past two days, and we can't fish smoothly. I can't say the specific situation, but it should be considered that we are done. Let's try to adjust the time tomorrow.
