Just as the fast horse was about to collide with Chen Yang, the knight immediately pulled the reins hard and stopped abruptly.

Despite this, with Chen Yang's now thin body, he was still frightened and took a few steps back, and then sat on the ground with unsteady steps.

What's even more tragic is that the honey pot that Chen Yang was holding in his hand came out of his hand at this time, this is the honey he bought with great difficulty.

At this critical juncture, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and another slender figure flashed in front of Chen Yang, and she reached out to catch the falling honeypot.

Seeing this, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and finally saved it.

This slender figure is the woman who almost hit Chen Yang on the horse.

The woman looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing close-fitting clothes suitable for horseback riding, showing a perfect figure, and the first feeling she gave Chen Yang was that she was heroic.

However, now Chen Yang was very angry, and he shouted: "Damn! Do you understand the rules of the road? Where are your parents? Let them all come out......"

Boom!

Before Chen Yang's words were finished, the woman in front of him suddenly drew her sword out of its sheath, and the cold sword body was attached to his neck.

Chen Yang was taken aback, and he immediately smiled and said, "Little girl, the sword has no eyes, don't mess around, you must know that killing people is a crime." ”

The woman stared at Chen Yang and snorted disdainfully: "With your guts, you dare to say that you want to see my parents?" ”

Looking at it so closely, Chen Yang suddenly found that the woman in front of him was still a stunning beauty.

Although she is not very old, she is slim, and her figure is even more flawless, and with the movement of breathing, somewhere in her heart goes up and down, it is very spectacular.

Especially her charming peach blossom eyes, Chen Yang and her looked at each other for a long time, and they were almost fascinated by her and couldn't divert their eyes.

"You're still a prodigal, look at it again, I'll gouge out your eyeballs!" The woman said coldly.

After speaking, she casually threw the honeypot back to Chen Yang, turned over and got on the horse, and her movements were smooth.

"Next time, Miss Ben will definitely kill you!"

The woman snorted coldly, and then rode away, but the speed was much slower than before, as if she did not dare to rampage again.

Chen Yang looked at her departing back, and then slowly retracted his gaze and said, "Little girl, don't let me see you again, otherwise I will definitely beat your ass!" ”

Scolding, Chen Yang returned to the tavern, but saw that outside the tavern, there was a person sneakily looking inside.

"Who are you?" When Chen Yang saw it, he shouted loudly.

He just thought there was a thief!

That person was Dian Wei, he looked back at the voice, and said in surprise: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are finally back." ”

Dian Wei laughed at first, and then he hurriedly bowed down: "Thank you Shopkeeper Chen for saving your life!" ”

"How are you!"

Chen Yang's heart was relieved, fortunately he was not a thief, but he asked suspiciously: "The grace of saving your life?" ”

Dian Wei suddenly remembered what Cao Cao had said to hide his identity, so he immediately changed his words and said: "I am the cousin of General Dian Wei, and I was also there in the first battle of Wancheng, if it weren't for the Chen shopkeeper, you would be like a god, I, as General Dian Wei's personal soldier, I am afraid I would not be able to return to Xudu." ”

"I see!"

Chen Yang suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Then you are an old classic, why don't you come in and sit down?" ”

Dian Wei naturally couldn't ask for it, and nodded again and again: "This time, in addition to thanking the shopkeeper Chen for saving his life, I still came to have two drinks with the shopkeeper." ”

Hearing that another guest came to the door, Chen Yang looked at him and asked, "Drinking?" Rich? ”

Dian Wei smiled and took out several pieces of money, and said: "Last time in Wancheng, I also made meritorious contributions, and the prime minister gave me a lot of rewards!" ”

Seeing that Dian Wei was really rich, Chen Yang said happily: "It's good to have money, and the wine management is enough today." I recently had a great wine that was particularly delicious and guaranteed you will love it! ”

"Really?"

As an excellent old drunkard, as soon as Dian Wei heard that there was good wine, he immediately urged Chen Yang to open the door and go in quickly.

Chen Yang first collected the wine money, and then served wine to Dian Wei.

After Dian Wei drank the first sip of wine, he felt that his whole soul had been sublimated.

"Good wine!"

Dian Wei was shocked: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are really a god, I have never drunk such a good wine, it's so refreshing!" ”

……

In this day, Chen Yang's remaining inventory was about to be emptied by Dian Wei.

Finally waited until the evening, Chen Yang sent the drunken Dian Wei away, and had to make some more wine for later use.

However, the next day, Dian Wei came to drink again, and he was addicted to drinking.

This is not to blame Dian Wei, it is really Chen Yang's wine that is too delicious.

In the next half month, Dian Wei ran to the tavern as long as he was fine, and occasionally he would bring Cao Ang with him.

Cao Ang was also obsessed with Chen Yang's wine, and he only went back when he was drunk every time.

During this time, Chen Yang will not be idle.

The stones he brought back from the salt mines, he had already begun the initial purification.

After tossing for several days, Chen Yang got a small bowl of refined salt, which was considered a success, and then he had to find a way to get hold of the salt mine and start large-scale production.

Because there were strict restrictions on salt in ancient times, Chen Yang wanted to sell salt openly, he still had to start with Lao Cao, who was a relative of Boss Cao after all.

However, in the past half a month, Lao Cao has not come to drink, and Chen Yang is a little anxious.

Today, Dian Wei came to Chen Yang again.

"I said Lao Dian, the reward money given to you by the prime minister, you have spent all of it on this wine, do you still want to drink it?"

Chen Yang glanced at Dian Wei and said while keeping accounts.

Dian Wei's face turned red, he also unceremoniously took a bottle of wine from Chen Yang's counter, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, it won't be long before we will have any wine to drink, this time I came, I plan to drink enough!" ”

He sat next to Chen Yang, leaned over, glanced at the account book briefly, and said with a smile: "Since the beginning of spring, there has been no rain in Xudu, and the grain harvest may have been reduced, so the prime minister ordered that the entire Xudu stop brewing." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yang calculated the time, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and there was indeed no rain, as he said half a month ago that there would be a spring drought.

Winemaking needs food, and if there is not enough food, you can't make wine, isn't it to starve to death this old classic.

Half a month ago, Chen Yang reminded Lao Cao to reserve grain, but he didn't bother to care about the follow-up, anyway, his food was enough.

Even if it was wine, Chen Yang prepared a lot, enough for him to concoct.

"I still have a lot of inventory, as long as you have money, you can drink as much as you want, but it's ......"

Chen Yang said, and showed the account book to Dian Wei: "Lao Dian, you still owe me a lot of wine money, I remember it!" ”

Chen Yang's bookkeeping method is still the modern one, Dian Wei has been with him for a long time, and he often watches Chen Yang's bookkeeping, and he can also understand the numbers on it.

What kind of Arabic numeral is that, zigzag, looks simple and easy to understand.

Dian Wei casually threw the account book aside, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, I have a good way to make money now, and I guarantee that I can pay back the wine money, are you interested?" ”

Hearing that he could make money, Chen Yang's eyes lit up: "What good method do you have?" ”

"Of course, it's to earn the prime minister's reward."

Dian Wei didn't drink the wine anymore, he sat upright, and said: "Now, we won't fight in Xuzhou for the time being, so many soldiers are raising food." It didn't rain on this day, and the prime minister was worried about the grain harvest, so they thought of reclaiming a large amount of wasteland in Xudu to grow grain. However, reclamation requires the use of people, and now there are not enough peasants, and the prime minister is preparing to use the soldiers to cultivate the land, and he will not train the soldiers. ”

"At present, the few strategists around the prime minister are arguing because of this matter, and some people even say that they should increase taxes and collect food as soon as possible, so that they will not delay military training and can fight at any time."

"Shopkeeper Chen, which of the two methods do you think is better? Why don't you give me a few clever ideas, and when I dedicate them to the prime minister, if it happens, I will definitely be able to ask for a little reward? ”

It turns out that the idea of this old classic is similar to that of Lao Cao.

Chen Yang thought for a long time before he said: "The soldiers all go to farm, and if they don't train, how will they fight in the future?" ”

"The battle between the two armies is to fight for the overall military strength and morale, and to train the soldiers to become farmers, they have lost their bloodiness, and even their morale has been greatly weakened. This one definitely won't work. ”

Chen Yang continued: "The method of increasing taxes will not work, with the current environment, it is tantamount to self-destruction!" Throughout the ages, those who can achieve hegemony have all relied on strong national strength, and the source of this national strength is the people of the world. Only by hiding the wealth from the people can we breed endless food and troops. Increasing taxes is tantamount to pushing the people into a dead end, and it is not advisable to kill chickens and eggs. ”

Dian Wei didn't know how to hear these words, but he clapped his hands and said, "Although I don't understand, it seems to be very powerful." ”

Chen Yang gave him a roll of his eyes, and suddenly, he thought of something, and said with a smile: "Lao Dian, if the prime minister just wants to open up the wasteland, I have a tool to ensure that it can be done, and this time the reward can't run away!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a clean strip of white cloth from the back kitchen and wrote and drew on it.
