Chapter 32: Xu Du is short of food

After Cao Ang came back, he immediately told Cao Cao about the sale of wine in detail.

When Cao Cao heard that he had earned so much just for the deposit, he was in a very happy mood, and he clapped his hands excitedly and said: "Okay, Shopkeeper Chen really won't let me down, with this money, even if there is no grain merchant to come to Xudu, we can buy a lot of grain outside, and then all follow the arrangement of Shopkeeper Chen, there must be no mistake." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia hurriedly walked in from outside Cao's mansion, and he said: "Prime Minister, there are grain merchants here again, and there are more and more grain merchants in the past few days. ”

Cao Cao's heart was completely stabilized, and he said solemnly: "Fengxiao, buy all their grain, and also, you announced to the outside world that we are now selling a lot of wine, some of which are money, but a lot of food is lacking. Tonight, I will arrange for someone to burn down the empty granaries in the south of the city, and I will let everyone know that we are short of food. ”

Guo Jia immediately thought of the key, and he hurriedly said, "I'll do it." ”

Not long after he came back, Guo Jia immediately went out again, and did what Cao Cao said, but now it is in a critical period, and he has to get things done quickly.

Seeing Guo Jia leave, Cao Cao said again: "Wen Ruo, do you still doubt Chen's shopkeeper's method?" ”

Xun Ruo was completely convinced by Chen Yang at this time, he shook his head and said: "I am no longer qualified to doubt, we don't have to wait for a month, we will have enough food to fight Yuan Shu, the prime minister has Chen's shopkeeper, and it is easy to calm the world!" ”

Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction: "Good! What a Chen Zi'an, this genius! ”

"By the way, the last time I made a bet, Feng Xiao lost a mansion to the shopkeeper Chen. The mansion will be delivered by me, it's not good to let Fengxiao break the bank, this matter will be handed over to Wen Ruo you to deal with, just go back and tell Fengxiao. ”

"As for Zixuan, if you have anything to do in the future, you will go to Shopkeeper Chen to drink and chat."

When Cao Ang and Xun Yu heard this, they both nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Cao Ang also knew what his father was thinking, and as the successor of Cao Fu, he had always been taken by Cao Cao to focus on training.

You may not be able to learn much from Cao Cao's side, but it's different with Chen Yang.

From Chen Yang's endless methods, his ability to do things like a god, and some small inventions, they can all see that Chen Yang knows absolutely too much.

Being able to learn from Chen Yang's side, Cao Ang was already looking forward to it as long as he thought about it.

——

When Sima Fang returned home, the wine he bought had already been delivered, and the wine money was also brought back by the person who delivered the wine.

"Father, why do we buy so much wine?" Sima Lang asked puzzled.

He has also drunk this kind of wine, although it is very good, but there is no need to buy so much from Cao Cao, what is the difference between this and giving money to Cao Cao?

Sima Fang said: "Because of curiosity, Cao Cao would let Cao Ang come forward to do business and sell wine, these wines are five thousand yuan a jar, which is already a sky-high price, Cao Cao can only sell wine if he instructs Cao Ang to come forward, it seems that Cao Cao is very short of money." ”

Sima Yi on the side said: "What they lack is not money, but grain, now the spring drought, the harvest is reduced, and the price of grain in Xudu is getting higher and higher day by day, if they don't have money, where will they get food?" If there is no food, how can you fight Yuan Shu and Lu Bu? ”

Hearing Sima Yi's analysis, Sima Fang nodded in agreement: "Zhong Da is right, what Cao Cao lacks is grain, and now that the price of grain is so high, they need more money to buy grain." ”

Sima Yi suddenly smiled coldly: "Father, since they are desperately trying to make money to buy grain, why don't we take the opportunity to raise the price of grain higher, so that Cao Cao can't buy it even if he has money?" ”

I just saw that Sima Fang thought for a while, nodded and said: "This plan is feasible, Boda, you can do it, but you have to be clean, and you can't leave a handle like the last time you killed Chen Yang." ”

"Yes!" Sima Lang nodded hurriedly.

What they didn't expect was that what Chen Yang wanted was the soaring price of grain, and Sima Fang inadvertently did them a big favor.

Sima Fang said again: "Today I finally saw Chen Yang, this person ...... I can't see through it either. ”

When Sima Yi heard this name, his face suddenly became gloomy, he clenched his fists, and said, "I will make his life worse than death!" ”

——

That night, a big event happened in Xudu.

In the south of the city, several granaries were suddenly attacked by thieves, who killed hundreds of soldiers guarding the granaries and burned the granaries clean.

After the thieves killed people and set fires, they fled immediately, and they couldn't find out who it was.

This accident made Cao Cao, who was not very rich in food, even worse.

The food is getting less and less day by day, and the price of food is getting higher day by day, and many people are waiting to see Boss Cao's jokes.

In less than three days, the matter of burning the granary could not be passed, and the news that Xu Du was short of grain and Cao Cao made a lot of money had spread to several nearby states.

At the same time, more and more grain merchants entered Xudu, bringing with them countless grains.

Chen Yang also took this opportunity to buy a large amount of grain, but he first took some of it out to make wine, and when the other part was high, he sold it at a high price to make a difference.

Therefore, that little money was quickly spent by Chen Yang, but he was not worried at all, he could make more money in the future.

At this time, the winery of the Sima family had been fully taken over by Chen Yang, and the big project of winemaking was restarted, and then through Cao Cao, he found some people who could be trusted, taught the way of distillation and bartending, and began to produce wine.

Based on the relationship between Chen Yang and Lao Cao, even if Xu Du prohibits winemaking, it is not a big problem for him to reopen the winery.

Chen Yang, the restaurant of Sima's family, also took over, but it did not open immediately, and he found a lot of carpenters to come back on this day, and all the tables and chairs were renovated to be more comfortable in later generations.

The architectural style of the restaurant in the Three Kingdoms era is not good, Chen Yang continues to renovate and decorate, and now he has money, and he is not afraid to spend it.

In addition to these, the construction of a military camp on the side of the salt mine also began, and a factory was built according to Chen Yang's requirements.

Before it was completely completed, Chen Yang didn't bother to go to the salt mine, and left it all to the general named Ye Shun to be in charge, and he was idle.

As for Guo Jia's loss to Chen Yang's mansion, the title deed was also sent to Chen Yang, and he just moved into a big mansion today, and by the way, he invited a few more maids to come back, and life was definitely beautiful.

In the past few days, Chen Yang was very happy to see that his industry in the Three Kingdoms era had begun to take shape.

"Zi'an!"

Just when Chen Yang was complacent, a woman's voice came from beside him.

Zhang Chunhua also moved with Chen Yang and lived in the mansion.

Although Chen Yang did not announce that she was the hostess, all the subordinates in the family tacitly agreed that the hostess was her, and Zhang Chunhua did not refuse.

Zhang Chunhua said again: "My father already knows about you, and he found someone to send a letter to tell me that he is already coming to Xudu, what do you say?" ”

Is this the rhythm of meeting my father-in-law?

Chen Yang frowned, although he did not directly indicate his relationship with Zhang Chunhua, but one of her daughters lived in her own home and experienced life and death together, so many things were already doomed.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yang nodded and said, "He wants to come, then come, but will he force you to marry Sima Yi again?" ”

Zhang Chunhua shook his head uncertainly: "It shouldn't be, if my father dares to force me, I don't want to marry if I die!" ”

In fact, Zhang Chunhua didn't know how to define his relationship with Chen Yang in his heart, and he was very confused.

However, the two have feelings for each other, that's for sure, but no one directly debunks it.
