For Guo Jia, Cao Cao hated and feared.

Yunzhou's military strength is strong, unique among the princes, as long as Guo Jia wants to, he can destroy Cao Cao at any time.

If the two sides have no enmity and no grudges, it would be fine, but Cao Cao suddenly led his army to attack Jizhou when the Xiongnu army was besieging Yunzhou.

Although it was a failure in the end, the two sides were also a bond.

Although Yunzhou has not moved now, it is difficult to guarantee when a large army will come to overwhelm the border, so Cao Cao has been unable to sleep and eat.

Therefore, most of Yanzhou's troops were deployed on the south bank of the Yellow River in case of a surprise attack from Yunzhou.

Not only that, Cao Cao also secretly sent people to infiltrate Yunzhou to spy on the military situation in Yunzhou.

Wei Ping is Cao Cao's most powerful spy in Yunzhou.

When he received Wei Ping's report, Cao Cao's uneasy heart relaxed.

The reason why Yunzhou didn't attack Yanzhou was not because Guo Jia didn't want to, but because something happened in Yunzhou.

The border trade is over!

For a long time, border trade has been the lifeblood of Yunzhou, and it is the wealth brought by border trade that has allowed Yunzhou to develop rapidly.

From a barren land to a gilded city.

For this reason, Cao Cao also studied Guo Jia, although he had a lot of resentment towards Guo Jia, but he could not admire Guo Jia's means of turning decay into magic.

Outside of ancient and modern times, only Guo Fengxiao can achieve this great cause.

But......

Cao Cao suddenly laughed a few times.

Yunzhou's border trade is over, and when the border trade is over, it will lose its money bag, how can it support such a large row without a money bag?

Once Yunzhou is finished, it will be time for him Cao Cao to rise.

"God help me, it seems that God is still on our side."

Cao Cao said happily.

Xun Yu on the side also smiled faintly and said: "Business is a trick after all, although it can prosper for a while, but after all, it is short-lived, far less long-term than farming." ”

Although Xun Yu was also a wise man in the world, he couldn't get rid of the common problem of scholars in that era, and looked down on businessmen, thinking that it was a trick.

No, no, no!

Cao Cao hurriedly shook his head and said: "Business also has the benefits of business, although cultivation and study are long-term, but without businessmen, it is a pool of stagnant water." ”

For the model of Yunzhou, Cao Cao has specially studied.

"Merchants, though not producing, are good at circulation. Only when it circulates is it living water. Guo Jianeng made Yunzhou rise with commerce and trade, and he is also a genius. It's a pity ......"

Cao Cao paused and said with a smile: "The main body of border trade is the Han people and the nomads on the grassland, as long as the two sides continue to trade, Yunzhou's income will be endless." It's just that this general is too anxious, and he wiped out the steppe nomadism in a few years. Without the demand on the grassland, the border trade in Yunzhou will naturally not be able to last. However, in just a few years, he wiped out the border troubles that had endangered the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the Xiongnu Xianbei vitality was greatly damaged, and he was probably unable to invade the south in a few decades, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the Han people in the Central Plains. ”

At this time, Cao Cao still showed the mind of a generation of heroes, and did not belittle Guo Jia's exploits because of the confrontation between the two sides.

Xun Yu was a little unimpressed.

He doesn't have much of an impression of Guo Jia, but he has been haunted by his nephew's death.

"Summons Wei Ping, let him hurry up to persuade those businessmen, we will definitely give them better conditions."

Cao Cao said happily.

He also realized the benefits of commerce from the Yunzhou model, and made every effort to accept these businessmen and build the economic circle of Xudu.

Promise!

Xun Yu arched his hand.

That's right!

Xun Yu suddenly said: "I heard Wei Ping say that Yunzhou has created some new gadgets, and intends to relieve Yunzhou's financial pressure. He had some sent back. ”

What's new?

Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little curious.

Xun Yu clapped his hands, and one of his subordinates brought a wine jar.

"I think it's a novelty, it's wine. When did Yunzhou stop doing business and change to winemaking? ”

Cao Cao smiled heartily.

Once upon a time, Yunzhou was still high, but as soon as the border trade was destroyed, it immediately fell off the altar.

Now I'm actually starting to make sake.

"Lord, the wine in Yunzhou is a little different."

Xun Yu motioned to his subordinates to take out a silver bowl, poured it full of wine, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Why Silver Bowls?

Cao Cao was suspicious, and all the utensils were made of sterling silver to prevent someone from poisoning him.

It smells so good!

When the wine seal is opened, the whole city is filled with a strong aroma of wine.

Looking at the almost transparent liquor in the silver bowl, Cao Cao couldn't help but be amazed, he had never seen such a colorless liquor.

"Is this really wine?"

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu suspiciously.

The latter nodded.

This is the fine wine sent by Wei Ping from Yunzhou.

Cao Cao hesitated slightly, raised the silver bowl and took a small bite.

A spicy sensation filled the throat, followed by an indescribable sensation of crispiness and numbness, and there seemed to be a hot breath coming out of the chest and abdomen.

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

In an instant, Cao Cao only felt that the hairs on his back suddenly stood up, and then his whole body was very comfortable.

What wine!

Cao Cao raised his sleeve to wipe the wine stains on his mouth, and said in surprise: "It's been more than 20 years, and it's the first time I've drunk such a good wine." I'm afraid the emperor's imperial wine can't compare to the wine of Yunzhou! ”

Xun Yu smiled faintly and said, "This is the wine that Guo Jia personally brewed." ”

Is it?

Cao Cao walked a few steps with his hand in his hand and praised: "I didn't expect this Guo Fengxiao to have the ability to make wine." In the future, if Yunzhou is defeated, he will be captured by me, and he can also be a craftsman who makes wine. ”

Now he is more and more interested in Guo Jia.

"By the way, this wine is so beautiful, it should be expensive!"

Cao Cao asked with a smile.

The Han Dynasty was not without a high degree of wine, but it was not easy to brew, the cost was too high, and only high-ranking officials and nobles could afford to drink it.

In the Han Dynasty, some great families had their own winemaking workshops, and spent a lot of money to brew fine wine for their own enjoyment.

Even Cao Cao himself had his own winemaking artisans.

"That's exactly what Wei Ping wants to say."

Xun Yu said lightly: "The price of this wine is only half of the market price. ”

What the?

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned.

The price of such a good wine is only half of the market price, how did Guo Jia do it?

However, Cao Cao was stunned for a while, and soon understood an important question.

If this wine enters Xudu, it will soon be able to occupy the market of Xudu, and no one will make wine at all.

Yunzhou's wine is delicious and cheap, who would be thankless to make those high-cost and bad-tasting wines?

This Guo Jia is really a genius.

Even if you don't do border trade and change to winemaking, it's the only scorpion!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy.
