System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Chapter 122

This is also the reason why Liu Biao took in Zhang Xiu and let him take charge of Wancheng, Nanyang in history.

The army was not good enough, so he could only rely on Zhang Xiu, who had the elite soldiers of Xiliang, to help him guard the north gate.

"Envoy, three thousand war horses is not a small number, and the Jingzhou treasury is not full..."

Kuai Liang stroked his beard and said meaningfully.

You want to buy it, but do you have the money?

The aristocratic families value profit, and Liu Biao was able to secure his control of Jingzhou thanks to the help of the aristocratic families.

In return, each of these old Jingzhou clans occupied a high position in Jingzhou.

This also makes their power even greater.

Even Liu Biao had to maintain close contact with them.

"Zirou, it is imperative to recapture Nanyang."

"If Nanyang is not in our hands, it may endanger the rear of Jingzhou in the future."

Liu Biao felt a little dissatisfied, but he still patiently spoke and reasoned.

The aristocratic families are greedy.

Before Liu Biao secured his position in Jingzhou with the help of his aristocratic family, his voice was obviously not enough.

He has only been in charge of Jingzhou for less than two years, and he is not yet able to have the greatest say in terms of reputation or prestige.

"Your Excellency's words make sense. My Huang family is willing to provide 100,000 dan of grain and fodder to help you purchase war horses."

Huang Zu bowed and decisively chose to invest.

In Huang Zu's opinion, after Nanyang is taken back, shouldn't it still be handed over to him, Huang Zu, to guard it?

It's just 100,000 shi of grain and grass. The Huang family is rich and powerful, so they can just consider it as buying an official position.

It can be said that the Han people were the first to pioneer paid work.

All capitalists in later generations would kowtow to it after seeing it. It seems that our ancient ancestors knew how to do it.

"The Cai family is willing to provide 300,000 dan of grain and fodder."

After Huang Zu finished speaking, Cai Mao immediately said a number that stunned everyone present.

Are you crazy? For the sake of the entire Nanyang, are you going to sell out the Cai family?

The leaders of the aristocratic families, such as Huang Zu, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Xi Shou, and Pang Ji, all looked at Cai Mao.

The Cai family is large, but not stronger than the Huang, Kuai, and Pang families, not to mention the Xi family which has always been in the top position.

"Haha...Okay, okay, Degui will provide 300,000 grain, and the Huang family will provide 100,000 grain."

"But there is still a vacancy. Is there anyone among you who is willing to lend a hand?"

Liu Biao couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling extremely happy.

He carefully calculated the value of three thousand war horses and seven hundred thousand shi of grain. Even if he could replace some of it with money, he would still need to swindle another one hundred thousand shi.

Huang Zu's face immediately turned dark.

Damn, didn’t Cai Mao give you 300,000 stones?

Why are you still thinking about my 100,000 stones?

You know, it’s hard to get a share of the cake if you give less.

The Cai family spent 300,000 shi of grain and grass, and their purpose was obvious: to gain the right to speak in Nanyang.

If he gave away these 100,000 stones, it would be a complete waste.

"Let each of us gather another 100,000 dan of grain and fodder for the envoy."

Kuai Liang made a suggestion to Xi Shou and Pang Ji.

Those two companies took the lion's share, so it would be unreasonable for them not to contribute a little to show their appreciation.

"Well, that's fine too."

Xi Shu and Pang Ji nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then Degui will lead the army to Nanyang for this transaction."

"Once this matter is settled, I will petition the court to appoint Degui as the governor of Nanyang."

Liu Biao was satisfied and immediately declared that Nanyang belonged to the Cai family.

"I will definitely live up to your high expectations."

Cai Mao proudly cupped his hands and spoke loudly.

The Cai family was given benefits, and as the Huang family had the greatest contribution in killing Sun Jian, they were naturally given certain benefits as well.

Besides, they had given him 100,000 shi of grain and it would be unreasonable not to give it back.

"General Huang, you are very good at naval warfare. Why don't you lead your troops to Jiangxia and garrison Jiangxia County? I will report to the court and recommend you as the governor of Jiangxia."

So Liu Biao looked at Huang Zu, who was in a bad mood, and spoke.

"Huang Zu, thank you, envoy."

Huang Zu looked delighted and immediately bowed.

Being able to sit on the throne of the lord of Jingzhou, Liu Biao was quite remarkable in the distribution of interests.
