Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Chapter 171 New solution to the brothel, polite request

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Han Ze's heart skipped a beat, probably because he ran into some taboo.

"Prime Minister, please don't scare me. I really don't know what brothels mean."

[I just changed the name of "A Little History of Qihong", is it that serious? 】

What is "A Little History of Qihong"?It sounds different from what I thought.

Cao Cao sighed and explained in a low voice: "The brothel, a luxurious and exquisite building painted with blue lacquer, is often extended to be the residence of the emperor."

Cao Cao observed Han Ze's expression while explaining.

"So when I saw the brothel dream, I thought Taining was alluding to what I did to the emperor."

Han Ze showed embarrassment, and confirmed with Cao Cao again in a low voice.

"Isn't the prime minister lying to me?"

Seeing that Han Ze didn't show any abnormal expressions, Cao Cao's worried mood gradually turned into disdain, but anyone who has read the book for a few years knows the meaning and extended meaning of this word, this boy Taining is really ignorant.

"Taining, it's okay to see less beauties and read more books, otherwise you won't be blamed if you don't know why."

"Damn, isn't it that everyone is urging you to change, are you busy writing books, and find some books to read when you are free."

The two muttered for a while, and Xun Yu and Zhong Yao, who were on the side, heard the reminder and looked over.

"The prime minister is urging the change? Are you urging poems? Will Taining publish any new poems today?"

"Cough, yes. I hope Taining will write a poem mocking Yuan Shao, but he shirks it in every possible way."

Zhong Yao looked at Han Ze: "Taining has no inspiration, why don't I send some battle reports, maybe it can inspire me."

"No, no, it's just that the time is not yet ripe. I think Yuan Shao is going to die soon. It's better to wait until then to write."

[According to the time, it has been almost a year. Yuan Shao's health should not be good now, and now that Yecheng is occupied, he probably died of illness or was about to die of anger. 】

Cao Cao also helped to cover up: "Yes, we should wait for Yuan Shao to pass away and send a poem of condolence directly."

Zhong Yao laughed loudly: "Taining is too bad."

After the two walked away, Cao Cao took Han Ze's hand again.

"Leave aside other things, when will you present your rubbing technique?"

Han Ze: Shocked!

【what happened!I just finished perfunctory Zhong Yao for you, and you will blackmail me when you turn around. 】

"Prime Minister, I haven't earned my money back yet, please allow me a while."

"Taining, don't lie to me. I've already asked someone to do the math. Your books sold for at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you and Wen He only paid [-] dollars each."

[Jia Xu, this old thief, sold me out again?It shouldn't be, doesn't he want to make money? 】

"Hehe, Prime Minister, you can't calculate it like this. The [-] yuan you see is the production cost. But the money spent on the development of this technology is tens of millions of times the production cost."

"My lord has seen the bright yellow text on the lacquer box. Do you know how much spice is needed for the yellow dye? How much will it cost me to make that kind of fragrance? These can't be included in the cost."

Cao Cao was a little confused, can he still count like this?
Without giving Cao Cao a chance to refute, Han Ze continued to settle accounts.

"There is also the bleaching ingredient, which I got by accident when making incense. In order to get the best ratio, I spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver."

Although Cao Cao agreed with Han Ze's previous words, the cost of ten thousand taels of silver to develop the bleached paper formula made Cao Cao feel a little nonsense.

You Han Ze will spend so much money for this matter?If you need to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, you would have cheated me a long time ago.

Moreover, Cao Cao had never heard that Han Ze was developing papermaking, so it is not certain that these two techniques were borrowed from others.

But there is no way to say this, saying it is equivalent to turning your face.

Han Ze is only greedy and lustful, and makes money through his own efforts. Cao Cao can't control this, so he has no choice but to accept this statement.

"When will Taining earn back the cost? Can I wait until that day?"

Han Ze choked on Cao Cao's words: "Yes, I will. I can assure the Prime Minister of this."

[Boss Cao, what's going on? Threatened with death?Isn't it just some money, why is this so. 】

Han Ze gritted his teeth and made a hard decision.

"Prime Minister, although I have spent a lot of money developing this method, I am still willing to donate [-]% of Jia Xu's income to the lord, and count it as a great man to do my part."

"what!"

What does it mean to use [-]% of Jia Xu's income to contribute to the big man? Does Jia Xu know about this?
Seeing how painful you are, I thought you were going to dedicate half of your skills. I overestimated you.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the crowd. Jia Xu was doing his best to sell. He must not know what he had contributed to the relationship between Han Ze and the lord.

"Since Taining is so attentive, it's not easy for me to refuse. Remember to appease Wenhe."

"Relax, Prime Minister."

Han Ze pulled Cao Cao to sit down, and sat beside Cao Cao himself.The two of them pressed their heads close to each other, talking in a low voice.

This scene was seen by many people present, and they were greatly surprised.

Xun Yu was even in a daze. In recent years, the lord has rarely been so close to others. The last time seemed to be many years ago.

Cui Yan was studying with a Dream of Red Mansions in his hand, and when he saw Han Ze and Cao Cao on the stage, he became more eager to marry his niece into the Han family.

The relationship between Han Ze and the lord is so close. Although they are said to be Weng's son-in-law, they are actually the relationship between the lord and the courtier.

No wonder Cao Cao didn't show any impatience when Han Ze played wildly at the banquet that day.

Seeing the intimate interaction between the two, Cui Yan couldn't help feeling a little envious in his heart, it would be great if I could be as close as the lord.

Cao Xian in the distance also saw this scene in his eyes: "When did brother-in-law become so close to daddy, no wonder he is so favored."

"Is it because your brother-in-law cured your sister that the prime minister loves him so much?"

"No, Dad has rarely played with me in recent years, and he has rarely been so close to others."

Bai Lingyun stared at Han Ze, tilted his head and muttered to himself: "Maybe it's because your brother-in-law has no desires, I heard he doesn't even want credit."

"Sister Lingyun is looking at my brother-in-law again. Is it true that she is really in love and wants to marry into the Han family?"

"That's not it." Bai Lingyun's face turned red, and he looked away shyly.

"Still saying no, look at your face turning red like a peach."

Bai Lingyun put his hands on his face, turned his head and ignored Cao Xian's teasing.

"If you want me to say, you two just marry my brother-in-law and forget it. Then there will be someone to take care of you, hehe."

Everyone in the audience talked about the two, but Han Ze and Cao Cao didn't notice it at all.

"There is another trivial matter, I hope to get the help of the prime minister."

"Hehe, Taining, do you have a girl in your fancy? There are many concubines in your family, and I'm still your father-in-law. Are you polite if you ask me to help you with this matter?"
