Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 134

"You're a great adviser! If you lose to this group of idiots, they might laugh at you behind your back for your incompetence! Money is not important, but face is the most important thing! You can't lose the face of a literati!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu pondered for two seconds, then nodded.

"My lord's words are very true! I, Xun Wenruo, are very unconvinced! Look at Zixiao and Yuan Rang's lack of beating! If you win some money, you won't know your last name!"

Cao Cao patted Xun Yu on the back, his eyes were encouraging: "Then go back and do a few more games! Win back what you lose!"

Xun Yu spread his hands and looked bitter: "My lord, but I have no money! They don't want to pay on credit!"

Hearing that Cao Cao was calm on the surface, he was a little excited in his heart.

I'm coming!I have been inducing for so long, and finally got to the point!

"Cough! As the lord, this counselor is in trouble, how can I not help? I have a project called... er... Borrow!"

"As the name suggests, you can borrow money from me!"

Xun Yu was overjoyed. He didn't expect the lord to change his temper. Not only did he not blame us for gambling, but he even offered money to support it?

is a good man!Wise!

"My lord, this... you are so kind! I like this loan project! It's very humane!"

"Well! But you can borrow it! I have a condition, for every tael of gold you borrow, you will give me an extra three... um... give me thirty cash interest! Remember it is every day!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu pondered for a while and hesitated.

"Isn't it a year that I have to pay back the master's two-for-one gold with interest? It's so expensive!"

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Hey! Wen Ruo, you can't say that. Think about it, it's only thirty coins a day! If you turn around later, wouldn't you be able to give it back to me right away? Even the thirty coins are not enough. Don't give it!"

"It means I'm just borrowing you to deal with an emergency! If you win, not only do you not have to pay more, but you can also make money! Why not do it? What can you do with thirty pennies? It's not enough to buy a few pieces of paper to wipe your butt!"

Hearing Cao Cao's explanation, Xun Yu nodded thoughtfully. Thirty Chinese is really not much!

"What the lord said seems to make sense! If I win, I can refund the money immediately! Good! I borrowed it!"

At this moment, he was fascinated by Cao Cao's theory of winning money, as well as the unwillingness and desire in his heart, and he didn't think about whether he would lose at all.

Seeing the fish take the bait, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth turned up slightly.

"How much Wen Ruo intends to borrow?"

"Just... just borrow one or two first, and I'll try the water! I'm afraid I won't be able to pay back too much! After all, there's only so much salary."

Xun Yu falteringly raised a finger.

"Don't borrow more? You are a great adviser, you must have courage! Could it be that you are being feared by your mother-in-law?"

"In addition, doing business requires cost investment. It's the same with your gambling! Good luck will come to you only if you bring enough money! Don't search for it!"

Cao Cao looked at him jokingly, Xun Yu's face was serious, his eyes were slightly evasive and unnatural.

"How is it possible! I always say one thing at home, okay! Ten gold! Give me ten gold!"

Cao Cao beamed with joy, and immediately took out twelve taels of gold and handed it to him.

"Go after the IOU is completed! Hurry up and turn over the book! I am optimistic about you! You are my great adviser!"

After Cao Cao accepted the IOU, he looked at Xun Yu's back and was filled with pride.

The conspiracy...succeeded!

With the first time, there will be a second time!

When this luck turns bad, do you still want to change your luck?Think too much!

He has completely grasped the psychology of gamblers, he wants to win even if he wins, but he is not willing to get back his money if he loses!So sink deeper and deeper!

But what he wants now is this kind of mentality!Otherwise, how to let this group of civil and military generals enter the pit?

He's coming to kill two birds with one stone!It can not only make them work for nothing, but also make them quit gambling!

After returning, Xun Yu sat at the poker table again!

But it didn't last long, less than an hour, and he was kicked down again in desperation.

"Why? Lost again?"

"Hey! I just wanted to make money, and raised the bet to one gold and one game, but it was all gone! I lost eleven gold today!"

"Don't be discouraged! At the mahjong table, didn't they still call you the God of Gamblers? How can you admit defeat! As long as Wen Ruo asks, I can lend it to you again! Maybe you can get back the 11 taels you lost before. Jin Quan has won back!"

Cao Cao continued to induce, and also took out the title Xun Yu had obtained when he played mahjong before.

When Xun Yu heard this, my glory as the God of Gamblers was about to pass away?no!My annual salary is 10 gold, plus some rewards, it can reach [-] gold!

Don't be afraid!Worth it!

"Okay! My lord! Another ten gold!"

After issuing another IOU, Xun Yu walked back with his head held high.

People who are fascinated by gambling have no sense at all!Even if he is a great adviser, he can't get rid of it!

Several losers at the poker table were full of doubts when they saw Xun Yu coming back.

"Wen Ruo, why do you have money again?"

"This... I borrowed it from the lord!"

Everyone didn't pay attention when they heard this, they just kept looking at the lord when he came, and didn't hit him, so they ignored each other.

After a while, Xun Yu had a little luck, won a few games, and won all of Cao Ren's money, and he was immediately excited.

Seeing that Cao Ren was about to leave, Xun Yu hurriedly called him to stop, if he didn't take advantage of his luck and almost win, when would he wait?

"Zixiao! Don't go! See, I'm lucky, and I can get my money back right away! Why don't you learn from me and ask the lord to borrow some money? Maybe you will get your money back at the next moment!"

Hearing that Cao Ren seemed to see a glimmer of hope, with a shy face, he approached Cao Cao, a brother of the clan.

"My lord..."

"Zixiao don't need to talk too much! Look at my rules, and you can decide how much money to borrow!"

Cao Ren looked at the sign in front of Cao Cao and hesitated for a while.

"How much... Wen Ruo borrowed?"

"He borrowed twenty gold!"

"Okay! Then I'll borrow twenty gold too! He can pay it back, so why should I be afraid! I still have a house at home!"

Cao Ren wrote a note and returned to the poker table.

As time goes by, more and more people come to borrow money!Xun Yu's good luck was also completely gone.

Especially Xun Yu and Cao Ren borrowed the most!Borrowed thirty gold a day!

Pan Feng and Cao Chunquyi also borrowed twenty gold!

Jushou and Xiahoudun were winning the whole time, grinning from the back of their heads!

The day ended like this. Seeing the IOUs in his hand, the smile on Cao Cao's face gradually changed. He waved those notes and happily went to the mansion.

Even out of the happy pace!

Looking at this scene, Xun Yu, the counselor, suddenly grasped the key point, came to his senses, and his heart skipped a beat.

After careful calculation, I shouted in my heart:

What the hell!

I fell for the lord's trick!Thirty gold!After one year, the principal and profits will be paid back 63 gold!

Where did I get so much money from my own house?How much is the salary!Plus the reward is only about a dozen gold!

There are at home!But the money is controlled by the mother-in-law. I want to tell her that I have lost my salary for a few years today, so why should I let her take my head off?

It's over! It's over!

In the future, not only will there be no salary for work, but you will also have to pay the lord the money?

Black!My lord, you are a profiteer!

Suddenly, he felt that the whole world was filled with darkness!Originally, when I met this lord, his world was still white, but now... it's completely black.

This society is full of malice towards him!

However, he does not intend to tell other generals!

If you want to die, everyone will die together!Let's be black together!How can I, Xun Wenruo, give it to me alone?

Thinking of all the interlocking steps of Cao Cao before, Xun Yu felt a chill in his heart!

This lord... is too ruthless!It can be called a traitor!

The grasp of human nature is too strong!

Chapter 164 Chen Liu's Huge Change

It has been a month since Cao Cao made such a move.

Except for the awakened Xun Yu and the winning Ju Shou, the other generals have already owed a lot of money.

Qu Yi and Pan Feng owed fifty gold directly in his borrowing project!

If there is no noble person to help, it means that I have been selling myself to pay off the debt in this life!

When they discovered Cao Cao's strategy, they were too late to regret it!

Everyone beat their chests and stomped their feet!Since then, I quit gambling and became a good person again.

Seeing their changes, Cao Cao couldn't help sighing, success is also Yuanyi, and defeat is also Yuanyi!

It was this guy who brought them down, and the plan to turn them into good people was inspired by him!

What a god!

In the next two months, compared with Yuan Shao, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan and the others in the north, they did a lot of work.

Cao Ying has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With Xia Houzhe, the god of wealth, Cao Cao produced [-] bicycles!It cost thousands of dollars!It is still in production.

A lot of Liannu were also made, making up 20 pieces, enough for Leopard Riders!There are [-] arrows!

The giant crossbows defending the city changed from a dozen to thirty!That giant crossbow can shoot 800 meters with one arrow!It takes four or five people to pull it!

The entire arsenal is filled with arrows from Liannu and bows!

The shield soldiers who boarded the camp first expanded from [-] to [-]!Koji's position remains unchanged.

The current Chen Liu can be said to be impenetrable!Cao Cao is ready to use this as the capital.

Cao Cao knows that the current peace is short-lived!

Not surprisingly, once the cold winter is over, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans will definitely attack Jizhou and Yanzhou again next year!

After all, Qingzhou is barren!

And now the Yellow Turban Army is ready to move, and they are buying food and grass around Qingzhou.

Xia Houzhe's factory is also running much faster, especially in winter, this wine sells very well!Many people like to warm up with warm wine.

The workers in the factory have low temperature subsidies in winter, which makes them very happy!Everyone praises the boss when they go out!

Those neighbors in the neighborhood knew that they worked in Xiahou Manufacturing Company, and they were all envious of them.

Of course, every few days in the winery, when the workers came to work, they would smell a bit of blood, and they didn't dare to ask why.

These changes were not expected by Cao Ying's generals.

A year ago, this guy was still a complete jerk, doing nothing but eating, drinking and picking up girls all day long.

As a result, a year later, with colored glaze and good wine, he actually seized the high-end market, and became a rich man in Cao Ying and the leader of the military adviser!

Even Xia Houzhe himself didn't think about it. He was already very low-key, so why did everything he did was so high-key?

really!Excellent people, no matter how they cover them, they can't stop the dazzling light!

……

"Brother! Borrow another two thousand! My brother has no money to buy food again!"

It was snowing heavily in Chen Liuxin, and Cao Cao hadn't been to Xia Houzhe's house for half a month because he was busy in the army and the Chinese New Year was approaching.
