"Oh, Wen Ruo, come quickly!"
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao's eyes also flashed a gleam of joy.
He also wanted to know the reason, so that he could prescribe the right medicine and find the crux of the problem.
"Back to the prime minister!"
"This is related to some systems in Hanzhong!"
"In their system, merchants can borrow from households, their children can take the imperial examination, and they also enjoy free education, free medical care, etc."
Xun Yu was very familiar with various systems in Hanzhong.
In the eyes of these big families, these methods are simply stupid. Who wants to throw a lot of money to those untouchables?
These big families want to amass the wealth of the world.
But Jiang Chen did the opposite, so, directly conquering the hearts of those businessmen, even if they gave a high amount of benefits in return.
Those businessmen are also unwilling to give up the cooperation with Jiang Chen, they have already earned enough money, if they can change the future for their descendants, they will naturally be more happy.
"I see!"
"It seems that Jiang Chen is desperate for the throne!"
"If he is like this, sooner or later he will have to pay the price for his madness. How could those big families allow him to keep messing around??"
Cheng Yu said with some disdain.
Of course, he said it to Cao Cao on purpose, Cao Cao felt very refreshed as if drinking a glass of cold water.
"As far as the present is concerned, I don't know if all the dear ones have a way to break Jiang Chen's monopoly?"
"Let those big Hu merchants choose to cooperate with us?"
Although Cao Cao felt very comfortable hearing it, he still wanted to know how to break Jiang Chen's trick now. After all, Jiang Chen has been designated as the biggest opponent by Cao Cao.
If there is no way to bring Jiang Chen down, then his desire to unify the Central Plains is doomed to become a joke.
"Back to the lord!"
"According to Mr. Xun, if we want to attract those Hu merchants to cooperate with us, we must offer better terms!"
"But with our current economic scale, I'm afraid we can't compete with Jiang Chen. If we want to use money to bring Jiang Chen down, then we must be the ones who are brought down!"
Cheng Yu said.
Xun Yu also nodded and sighed. Their economic scale was simply not comparable to Jiang Chen's.
Whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Quan, or Liu Bei, they all rely on Jiang Chen's economic system, if Jiang Chen stops cooperating with them one day.
Their economy will immediately drop by a large level.
The lives of the common people will return to the past again, and they may not even be able to eat a full meal, let alone eat a little meat.
As Cao Cao's confidant ministers, they are well aware of these.
"Is there any way to get out of this situation?"
"Break it, so that the truth can have a glimmer of life!"
While talking, Cao Cao inspected several ministers, and finally stopped on Jia Xu, and asked with a hint of expectation on his face:
"Looking at Wenhe's appearance, do you have any idea?"
"Returning to the Prime Minister, it is indeed an immature idea, but there is no precedent, and I don't know if it is feasible!"
Jia Xu nodded and answered cautiously.
He is not a big talker, he can do it, he will not be humble, but some things just exist in his thoughts, there is no precedent to follow.
He didn't know whether such a method was really feasible.
"It's okay, Wenhe, let's talk and listen!"
"Let's refer to it together, maybe there will be unexpected surprises!"
Cao Cao hurriedly urged.
Cao Cao understood that since Jia Xu had a voice, it must have been carefully thought through and constantly considered. Jia Xu would never make a mistake.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
"I think that if we want to solve the current predicament, we must give them a picture!"
"In this way, it will be able to form a certain attraction to those Hu merchants."
Jia Xu thought about it and replied.
"Why painting cakes?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and Cheng Yu, who was beside him, had quick eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly asked Cao Cao.
"There is an idiom called painting cakes to satisfy hunger!"
"As the name suggests, Huabing can give unlimited benefits, but you can not honor it first, so that they will always serve the prime minister for this cake!"
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao suddenly became interested.
His favorite thing to do is to be a white wolf with empty hands. Jia Xu's strategy seems to be able to attract those Hu merchants without paying a price.
"For example, we can directly reward those Hu merchants or their sons with official positions without real power!"
"If you want to be an official with real power, or become a noble lord, you must have a certain level of contribution. Only when the level of contribution is reached can you be promoted."
"As for this standard, the prime minister has the final say!"
"Give them some official positions without real power, which can directly attract their attention, and then there are various titles, beauties, farm houses, etc."
"Anyway, there is no need to cash it out immediately. You can say more, it depends on whether they have the ability to get it!"
"As long as this cake is painted, I believe it will definitely make those Hu merchants' hearts move!"
Jia Xu said confidently.
He also thought about this idea for many days, and finally gradually perfected it, otherwise, he would not have dared to say it in front of Cao Cao.
What Cao Cao hates the most is the kind of boastful people, just like the original Yang Xiu, who is capable, but always provokes Cao Cao's bottom line and doesn't respect Cao Cao.
As a result, Cao Cao killed him directly by getting drunk.
How ruthless he was when he killed Yang Xiu with a knife, and how miserable he cried when he woke up.
Precisely because Cao Cao's acting skills were in place and did not cause too much fluctuation in the court, Jia Xu was a smart man, and of course he could not follow in Yang Xiu's footsteps.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"This pie is completely in the prime minister's hands!"
"Anyway, it is to make those Hu merchants continue to work for the prime minister!"
"When Jiang Chen is dealt with in the future, if the Prime Minister wants to deal with those profiteers, it won't be a matter of just a word!"
Cheng Yu next to him added.
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he felt a little distressed because he had to send so many official positions.
But after listening to Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao immediately felt relieved. He didn't feel bad at all. Anyway, he could take it back at any time.
It’s just to coax you to play and make you happy, just like putting a piece of his favorite forage in front of the donkey. In order to be able to eat fine forage, the donkey will continue to grind.
And when the mola is ready and has no use value, what awaits it will definitely not be a full meal.
It must be a bridge section that everyone is familiar with - unloading the mill and killing the donkey!
Just like any founding emperor, when they got the throne, they would attack those founding heroes, and Cao Cao was the best at this aspect.
