"Childe, how was the meeting going?"

After the banquet was over, Shan Fu came to the hall for the first time, looked at Cao Ang, whose face was still ugly, and immediately asked.

In the face of this Shan Fu's inquiry, Cao Ang did not hide anything, and directly said that only three wealthy businessmen came, and the other businessmen were unwilling to help him as if they were colluding.

"In that case, how does the prince plan to deal with this matter, find a reason to arrest all those merchants, and then raid their mansions?"

At this time, Shan Fu looked at Cao Ang's angry appearance, and also asked tentatively.

Although such words came out of his mouth, he was extremely opposed to such a thing, that is, once Cao Ang really did this, I am afraid that he would be the first to object.

Hearing Shan Fu say this, he didn't know if Cao Ang saw Shan Fu's temptation, or if he didn't agree with such a plan in the first place, so he immediately shook his head.

"No! Although these businessmen are rich and unkind, now is not the time to punish them! ”

After rejecting Shan Fu's proposal, Cao Ang pondered for a moment and then immediately gave his reason.

"Not to mention that there are a lot of guards around them, and it is very likely that a rash move will attract this gratifying rejection, even if they can easily be confiscated of their family wealth, but after all, they are Xiaopei's huge wealth, once they have an accident, it is very likely to shake Xiaopei's foundation."

Cao Ang was not a short-sighted person who drank to quench his thirst, he knew that although these merchants were extremely hateful, they also provided for the whole of Xiao Pei.

If the salt used by the people of Xiaopei and the cloth they wore were really self-sufficient according to the people of Xiaopei, I am afraid that the prices would have been chaotic long ago.

It is precisely because of these merchants' superb business acumen that they buy low and sell high from other places, although they make a lot of difference in the price halfway, but they do provide convenience for the people.

And the more these merchants, the more they can prevent the merchants from arbitrarily raising prices, once Cao Ang rashly takes these merchants into action, the consequences are unimaginable.

After hearing Cao Ang's words, Shan Fu couldn't help but be stunned at this time, obviously he didn't expect Cao Ang to say such words.

"In that case, what are the plans of the son?"

At present, Cao Ang has recruited a lot of Baiyue mountain people, and there will only be more and more soldiers who will defect in the future, these are extremely huge expenses, if you can't consider these things, it will definitely shake the foundation.

After hearing such words, Cao Ang's face immediately showed a bit of anger, and finally he spoke quietly.

"Since this Xiaopei businessman is unwilling to pay, he can only use the money obtained from the confiscation of Mi En's family property for the time being, as long as he can stabilize this Xiaopei for two or three months, when the tax revenue comes, there is no need to be so poor."

"At that time, if the huge wealth in Xiaopei City did not leave, then this son will definitely know their details, and give them another chance, if they don't know how to cherish it, this son will never be soft."

Don't look at this Cao Ang's youthful appearance, but he is extremely cunning and treacherous, and now that he says this, it makes Shan Fudu listen to it and nod his head constantly.

"Childe has a long-term vision and admires it in his heart!"

Although Cao Ang did not succeed in handling the affairs of these giant businessmen, after hearing Cao Ang's attitude, Shan Fu was quite satisfied in his heart, and at this time, he was full of good feelings for this Cao Ang, and did not have any thoughts of leaving.

It was also at this time that there was a rush of pace outside, and then Cao Anmin was seen hurriedly breaking into the main hall of the mansion.

Although Cao Anmin's pace was in a hurry, as if something big had happened, there was still uncontrollable excitement and confidants on his face, as if he was surprised and happy.

"Cao Anmin, looking at you like this, there should be some happy event, right?"

Originally, Cao Ang's heart was already in a mess, but after seeing Cao Anmin's arrival, his face was also a little surprised, and he immediately asked.

And under such an inquiry, Cao Anmin also nodded excitedly.

"Childe, there are a few acquaintances outside of Xiao Pei, guess who it is?"

At the same time as these words were spoken, Cao Anmin's eyebrows were even more excited.

After Cao Ang heard such words, his expression couldn't help but move, there were not many acquaintances around him, and most of them were just generals under his father's command.

Seeing Cao Anmin so excited now, combined with the fact that Xiao Pei was employing people at this time, he also guessed a rough idea.

"What? Could it be that there are other people who came to Xiaopei from Xu Du and plan to defect to this son? ”

After saying such words, Cao Anmin immediately nodded, and after laughing, he took the initiative to turn sideways and get out of the way.

"Childe, let's see for yourself!"

After Cao Anmin turned sideways, at the corner of the main hall, there were also two unhurried footsteps at this time, and then I saw two generals in armor walking over with excited faces.

After seeing these two generals, Cao Ang's eyes also showed joy and excitement, just because these two were the two brothers Xiahou De and Xiahou Shang who had followed him in Xu Du to resist Liang Xing's 5,000 Flying Bear Army.

"Xiahou De (Xiahou Shang), meet Cao Gongzi!"

The two young generals were like bells at this time, and after seeing Cao Ang, they immediately bowed down to him.

Seeing this, Cao Ang also hurriedly stepped forward at this time and subdued the two generals.

"Two generals, aren't you in Xudu? Why did you come here? ”

This Xiahoude and Xiahou are still living well in Xudu, why did they suddenly appear here?

Although he already had some speculation in his heart, he still didn't dare to think so, after all, it was really unbelievable.

After Cao Ang's inquiry, the two generals also showed a heroic look on their faces at this time, and they immediately spoke.

"After Gongzi Cao left Xudu, I waited for Xu Du to feel more and more bored, thinking that at this time Gongzi was now the time to employ people, so I took the initiative to come and run!"

After Cao Cao's assassination of Dong failed, he went back to Qian County to recruit troops, and at that time, Cao Ren Xiahoudun and others came to defect with soldiers, horses, money and food, which led to Cao Cao's situation.

The current Cao Ang is very similar to his father at the beginning, he lacks both elite soldiers and fierce generals, and he lacks strategists.

At this time, the two of Xiahou De and Xiahou Shang came to come, which was like sending charcoal in the snow, which not only encouraged Cao Ang, but also gave him a usable general!
