Chapter 2394 Stupid Pig? Idiot!

Crash, crash.

Jiangdong ships have a very deep draft.

Sun Quan sat on the bow of the ship and his eyes fell on the waterline of the ship. He knew what was weighing down the ship in the cabin. It was not stones or cargo, but money.

fake money.

At that moment, Sun Quan seemed to have returned to the hot counterfeit money workshop. The person in charge of the counterfeit money workshop was wagging his tail at Sun Quan enthusiastically.

The leader of the counterfeit money workshop bent down and said, "Lord, please see, here are hundreds of money molds that have been made, and hundreds of mother coins..."

Sun Quan picked up a coin with the four characters "Zhengxi Tongbao" on it.

Sun Quan weighed it with his hands, and then the person in charge of the counterfeit money workshop cleverly handed over a genuine Zhengxi Tongbao. Sun Quan weighed it with his left and right hands, "Five baht?" 』

"Lord Ming Jian..."

In fact, it is only a little more than four and a half baht, but it will not be less than four baht. That's too light and will be recognized as soon as you use it.

The human hand is actually a very precise measuring tool. If you don’t believe it, you can weigh the phone yourself, then take off the phone case and measure again...

Sun Quan nodded slightly, then raised the coins in his hand and looked at them carefully in the air.

The leader of the counterfeit money workshop on the side continued to explain: "My lord, this mother's money is made of pure copper, and its quality is better than Zhengxi's money. However, the mold made of mother's money will be poured with Panax notoginseng bronze, which is better than that of Zhengxi money." Zhengxi money is slightly worse...but much better than the previous five baht money..."

Sun Quan nodded.

The leader of the workshop picked up something like a wooden frame and introduced it to Sun Quan: "My lord, these are empty frames, one is a pair, each empty frame has a total of one hundred money compartments, and the inside is filled with soil and fine carbon powder. Then sprinkle willow charcoal ash, put hundreds of mother coins in the blanks, and the two blanks are put together to print out the money mold. There are holes in the money molds, and the copper is poured into them, and hundreds of coins can be cast in one go. Pieces...』

"After the copper water cools, you can take it out, one hundred coins at a time... Then break the connected coins to get a rough sample... Previously, there were holes in the five-baht coins, which could be worn and polished. Now we collect them." Western coins are solid, so they can only be placed one by one in a wooden trough and polished..."

"In the end, you can get this money..."

Sun Quan nodded again, and then asked: "Can the latest Qiusi Qian be imitated?" 』

The leader of the workshop hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, because this latest hussar coin has a zigzag pattern, it can be imitated... but there are too many processes and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I'm afraid the gain outweighs the gain..."

"Hmm..." Sun Quan nodded, "Let's just imitate the Zhengxi Money first..."

The thick smoke inside the counterfeit money workshop dispersed, and the clear sound of water came over.

"Zhengxi..."

"Hussars..."

Sun Quan was on the bow of the boat, chanting softly, his eyes changing, and it was like the sparkling sunlight reflected on the water surface reflected in Sun Quan's eyes.

These coppers are just the first batch.

There are copper mines in Jiangdong.

And Sun Quan also sent people to the East China Sea, because there were rumors that to the east of the East China Sea, there was a mountain of gold and three mountains of silver...

Hussar said.

Anyway, Jiangdong has many ships. If we give it a try, even if we lose them all, it won’t be a big problem.

Of the twenty ships that went out, only one came back. The loss was indeed huge, but the problem is that the ship that came back really brought back a few sea natives, as well as some gold and silver!

Although it’s not much, it proves that there is indeed gold and silver in the sea!

As for how much gold and silver there is, is it what Hussar said? Because the native language cannot be communicated, but Sun Quan has sent people to learn and imitate. I believe that soon we will know what is going on in the mountains in the sea...

Of course, this is something that will happen later. Now Sun Quan wants to trade the copper he has hoarded first.

As for the copper produced in Jiangdong, if it is sold at the price of raw materials alone, it will obviously be a loss to grandma's family. However, the value system of the five-baht coin in the entire market has completely collapsed. Even the five-baht coin cast by Sun Quan is useless. On the one hand, even if others accept it, they will discount it and break bones. On the other hand, Sun Quan himself is not willing to accept it.

When a currency, a commodity equivalent, loses its equivalent function, it also loses its added value.

Obviously, Jiangdong must let these fake money enter the circulation field to maximize the effectiveness of these fake money, so Sun Quan must open market channels. One is Jiangling, who takes the Sichuan-Sichuan route and uses fake money to get into normal trade. The other is Qingxu, who uses war...

All fools know that looting can gain wealth, but looting is equivalent to killing the goose to obtain the eggs, and there will be no second harvest after that. As for the Guangling area, it was the battle zone between the two armies anyway, and there was no problem in looting it. Even Lao Cao also deliberately gathered it, so that the Jiangdong Army needed to take a longer route, which was equivalent to a tactic of fortifying the wall and clearing the field.

But other places in Qingzhou and Xuzhou cannot be plundered blindly.

Regardless of how loud Sun Quan boasted at the Jiangdong symposium, in fact, when leaving home, it is better to be more cowardly, at least for safety. Hope is one thing, whether it can be achieved is another. The rebellion in South Vietnam means that it is definitely impossible to successfully capture Qingxu and directly target Xu County, so it is always right to say hello and establish some relationships first.

Not sure, you can also use the money to buy some from the side...

Anyway, taking the sea route, no matter how powerful Cao Cao's cavalry is, they can't just fly on the water!

Sun Quan smiled slightly, as if he had a winning ticket.

……(?′?`?)……

When Sun Quan went north, Zang Ba's army also approached the East China Sea.

To see whether a person is a friend is not to see how many people he can call over when drinking, or how loudly he beats his chest at the wine table, but whether he is willing to lend a helping hand when he really encounters difficulties.

Sometimes, even if you can help say a word, it is not easy.

It was obvious that Chang Xi had no friends.

Of course, at the beginning, Chang Xi didn't think Zang Ba and others were his friends.

Especially when Chang Xi heard that Zang Ba came to conquer him, he was so angry that he even disemboweled the envoy sent by Zang Ba, and then threw the envoy's head into the city...

The messenger was not allowed to laugh twice.

The Chinese army's tent in Zang Ba's camp.

Sitting there was Zang Ba.

There are also Sun Guan and Wu Dun.

The lights were dim.

The figures swayed, just like the three people's hearts at this moment.

"It's hopeless..." Sun Guan whispered, "This guy is hopeless..."

Wu Dun sneered: "He thought we were here to harm him...this stupid pig..."

Zang Ba was silent.

He originally thought that he came with such a big fanfare. On the one hand, he was providing cover for Sun Guan and Wu Dun, so that Sun Guan and Wu Dun could hide in the smoke and dust of the army to discuss countermeasures. On the other hand, he also wanted to give Chang Xi a warning. , indicating that this matter is serious and should not be taken as a joke.

But Zang Ba didn't expect that Chang Xi would be so "tenacious", or "determined", or for some other reason, that he would behead the envoy Zang Ba sent there!

This is a real conspiracy!

What on earth is this guy Chang Xi thinking? !

Sun Guan picked up a cup of hot tea, drank a few sips, and then said: "Ha!" Speaking of which, the Cavalry General's method of drinking tea... I wasn't used to it at first. What's the difference between it and soaking leaves in water? Um? 』

Sun Guan glanced at Zang Ba, "But... haha, I got used to it as I drank it, and I think it's pretty good!" 』

Wu Dun laughed.

Zang Ba glanced at Sun Guan, then poured the tea in the tea cup in front of him on the ground, "We drink this tea because we want to drink it, otherwise, we can just pour it!" 』

Zang Ba put down the cup, "The key is, after pouring this cup of tea, you feel that the tea doesn't taste good. It's okay not to drink tea!" But I can’t do it without drinking water..."

Wu Dun snorted.

Sun Guan looked at Wu Dun and said, "What are you doing?" Something's wrong with your nose? 』

"I told you, you two are so damn free-minded. Now that you've reached this point, why are you still playing tricks?" Is there anything that can't be done? ! ” Wu Dun muttered dissatisfiedly, “Or did you two hang out with those Confucian scholars for a while, and you became like them? 』

Zang Ba was silent for a moment, then smiled, shook his head and sighed: "Let me tell you one thing first. Cao Jun... is almost here. It is said that he will be here the day after tomorrow... Of course, I doubt that tomorrow, haha, maybe there will be Cao Jun tonight." The scouts are here... You two had better leave in the middle of the night, otherwise we will be blocked and we will be passive..."

Just like Go, if you have a breath outside, it is considered alive. If you are all blocked in one place, you will naturally become a fool, and it will be uncomfortable even if you don't die.

When it came to business, Sun Guan and Wu Dun both became serious, looked at each other, and then agreed.

Wu Dun said: "Then get a charter now!" What on earth is going to happen with this pig? 』

Zang Ba asked Sun Guan, "What do you think?" 』

"I think..." Sun Guanba smacked his lips, "I'd better save it if I can... After all, we all come from the same background... Although this guy is indeed a little confused, he can still be considered one of his own after all... …』

Zang Ba nodded, then turned to look at Wu Dun, "What do you think?" 』

"never mind. ” Wu Dun said simply, “I don’t think he can be saved. And I think... this guy is so stupid, even if we save him this time, he might still kill us in the future..."

Zang Ba also nodded.

"Don't just nod, talk about it too!" ” Sun Guan urged.

Wu Dun reached out and gestured to Sun Guan not to disturb Zang Ba's thoughts.

Among the four bandits in Mount Tai, well, of course they think that they are not considered "bandits", at most they are just a leader struggling to survive in troubled times. They had some ambitions, some opportunities, and enough power to act, so they started with a few people, then a dozen people, then hundreds, or thousands of people. The factory, uh, place, naturally developed and became The current local officials are officials with a thousand or two thousand stones.

This was something they couldn't imagine from the beginning.

Zang Ba’s original idea was to become a county captain...

Sun Guan's plan was to stop working after earning 300,000 yuan. At that time, Sun Guan thought that 300,000 yuan would be enough for him to spend the rest of his life.

Wu Dun is more plain, or simpler, just hoping to eat meat every meal.

As for Yin Li...

That guy is an official fan and wants to be an official.

Then the Taishan Four Bandits, there are five people, this is common sense.

The extra Chang Xi is a pig. He was originally a bandit, a serious bandit, cruel, greedy, and savage. He had committed murder, arson, rape, kidnapping, and so on. This guy had done it all. Therefore, Zang Ba and others looked down upon Chang Xi, and Chang Xi also looked down on Zang Ba and others.

Even Chang Xi felt that his "訨" was not good-sounding, and thought that it would be good to be as good as Zang Ba's "Ba", but people wanted to change their name and call him Chang Ba Ba...

Forget it, I won’t go into details about these dirty things. After all, Mount Tai was very big at that time and all four of Mount Tai’s bandits were still very young.

Later, Tao Qian from the angel round came, and Yuan Shu came from the second round of investment.

At the beginning, Zang Ba and others were overjoyed, but found out that these guys either wanted to take the opportunity to misappropriate their patents, steal their ideas, and squeeze out their equity, or they were using them as bargaining chips, tools, or What items can be discarded at any time...

Fortunately, Zang Ba and others survived, but investors Tao Qian and Yuan Shu were overturned in the turbulent process of asset reorganization of the Han Empire and ended up receiving lunch boxes.

Then Cao Cao came.

To be honest, the investment brought by Cao Cao at that time was not much.

Is it necessarily good to choose Cao Cao? Not necessarily, but Cao Cao knows how to do it. When Lao Cao activates the eunuch talent, he throws his shoes away when he says it, wraps his beard when he says it is wrapped up, gives clothes when he says it is given to him, and gives it to BMW when he says it is given to him. …

Who can bear this? Even the second master of Yi Bo Yuntian Guan, didn't he indulge in Huarong Dao in the end?

So Zang Ba and others changed the contract to Boss Cao.

But not long after the boss called, he discovered that to work at Boss Cao's place, he started to have to pledge his ID card.

Then what?

After pledging my ID card, will I need to designate a place to live? Designated canteen? Designated medical institutions? Designated drinking water area, locked after time limit?

Zang Ba didn't know, so he was panicked.

Then Boss Cao came and explained to Zang Ba. After explaining, Zang Ba became even more panicked.

When they seized the ID card, they made a good statement. Who knows if and when they can return it after it is taken away? When they return it, will they just call their names and throw it on the ground and then it will be returned?

But it is obviously unrealistic to fall out immediately.

After all, Cao Cao moved too fast, leaving Zang Ba unprepared for anything. After all, Zang Ba is now different from the first time. He has brothers who follow him, relatives and friends, a large group of private soldiers, and their families. It doesn't mean that you can fall out with him on the spot, just smash your cell phone down. Just hit the boss on the face...

At least the twenty-four installments of the mobile phone have not been paid yet!

Therefore, Zang Ba could only pretend to be cooperative first, and then find an opportunity to discuss countermeasures with his brothers.

As a result, I met the pig Chang Xi! This guy actually fell out with Zang Ba without saying a word! Are you paralyzed? Can't you tell the difference between good and bad? Don't you know what closeness and alienation mean?

If Chang Xi is a little more sober and can trust Zang Ba, he will take an opportunity to step down, saying that it is also a misunderstanding, and coax Cao Cao first. After all, there is still a Jiangdong Army who can be used as a bargaining chip, and Boss Cao does not dare to force him. Too cruel, because he would definitely be afraid of being stabbed in the back by Zang Ba and others!

And now, it has become Boss Cao's favorite part. While occupying the great righteousness, he watches the Taishan Army kill each other!

Zang Ba cursed in his heart, and then suddenly thought of something, and his expression tightened, "Isn't this pig really connected with Jiangdong Army?" 』

"ah? Sun Guan was stunned, "No way?" 』

Wu Dun pondered for a moment, "I can't say, it's really possible!" 』

"This Sangmen thing!" ” Sun Guan cursed, “Isn’t this just a random poke!” 』

"There was something wrong in my heart, but we happened to be here..." Wu Dun slapped his leg, "That's why I didn't even finish talking... this pig!" 』

The three of them basically speculated about the matter with each other. After all, they have a deeper understanding of Chang Xi, so they can explain some of Chang Xi's inexplicable actions.

"..." Zang Ba took a long breath, "If this is really the case, we... have no choice but to take action... and we have to do it as soon as possible... otherwise we will wait for Duke Cao's people to come..."

"I'm worried that this is another test by Duke Cao..." Zang Ba said, "Even if Duke Cao didn't send spies to be placed in the East China Sea, this pig usually bleats inside. It's hard to say when he let it slip." no way! If we protect this guy, it means we..."

"And we can't fall out now..." Wu Dun said, "I just recruited new people last year, and they are training... We are a little tight on military supplies and equipment... At least until this year..."

Zang Ba glanced at Wu Dun and said, "Maybe Duke Cao thinks you have malicious intentions in recruiting troops..."

"grass! I did that for..." Wu Dun frowned, "Damn, it's really possible..."

"Stop talking about that!" Sun Guan said, "Now we need to determine two things. First, what does Mr. Cao mean? Will he really attack us?" 』

"Gong Cao really wanted to take action... but he was also worried that if he did, he would be too involved... This time he came too fast, which is his advantage and disadvantage... coming too fast means that he cannot fight for a long time. ..." Zang Ba pointed to the south, "The Jiangdong Army is here... Cao Cao must retreat to Jiangdong first... Even if he wants to attack us, he still has to wait for the Jiangdong Army to retreat..."

Sun looked at Zang Ba, then looked at Wu Dun, "Okay, the second thing, this pig..."

"That's the only way. How long can we drag it out..." Zang Ba sighed, "We can only use this pig to drag it out first... How about a siege? Siege the city for a month, prepare siege equipment for a month, and then attack it. , three to five months passed... until Jiangdong's army retreated, and until Cao's army was eager to return home. At that time, even if Cao Gong wanted to take action, he would have to weigh it..."

"What if... Mr. Cao wants to send us to fight against Jiangdong?" ” Wu Dun asked.

Zang Ba took a breath, "That would be really troublesome... But I don't think Mr. Cao would dare... If we make up our minds... He would also be in trouble... So he wants us to kill each other in this stupid pig." ! And then that’s really all we can do! grass! This stupid pig! 』
