Son! See who I've brought back? ”

Cao Yi and Tan Yun didn't go out today, and stayed in the Zhizhou Mansion with peace of mind, mainly because he was also a little worried about Chu Mingxuan's possible extreme retaliation, he didn't have anything important to do when he went out, and he didn't want to incur casualties and casualties because of Chu Mingxuan's retaliation.

Here, Cao Yi and Tan Yun were still basking in the sun in the yard and eating preserved fruits, when they heard Wang Zhiyuan's voice.

Cao Yi opened his eyes and looked at Uncle Wang and Wang Fu behind him, and immediately a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Uncle Wang! Then he turned his head to look at Wang Fu and said, "Uncle Wang, you are here!" ”

Tan Yun also stepped forward to greet him obediently, and then hurriedly asked people to bring chairs and pour tea.

After saying hello, after everyone was seated, Cao Yi opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Wang, I originally thought that you would come to me immediately, but I didn't expect that more than half a month had passed, and you were late." ”

Wang Zhiyuan opened his mouth and said with a smile: "I just returned to Yangzhou today, and on the second day of sending you to Yangzhou, my host asked me to send a batch of salt to Bianjing, and it took half a month to go back and forth. ”

"Oh, no wonder, but now you must know all about Uncle Wang, right? I don't know what you think? Cao Yi suddenly realized and spoke.

"What should I know?" Wang Fu asked with a strange look on his face.

"Huh? Didn't Uncle Wang tell you? Cao Yi also had a strange smile on his face and looked at Uncle Wang.

"No? I've only taken him to see you and tell him you're going to have a surprise for him. Wang Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile, and said after taking a sip of hot tea.

"Haha, that's okay, then I'll tell Uncle Wang." Cao Yi smiled and nodded, but confused Wang Fu.

"Uncle Wang, I don't know if the Liu family told you that your ship has been given away by them?"

Wang Fu showed a wry smile on his face, "I didn't expect that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this is something I only just knew, Cao Gongzi already knows, that's right, I have been given away by the Cao family now, and the new owner will take over this ship, including our crew." Although I haven't met the new owner, I still think that Cao Gongzi's side is better, so I plan to come to Cao Gongzi You, and I also ask for the brothers under me, Cao Gongzi, are you willing to take in so many of us? ”

Cao Yi and Wang Zhiyuan glanced at each other, and both of them showed hearty smiles at the same time. Wang Fu didn't know what the two of them were laughing at, and he also had a puzzled expression on his face at this time.

"Uncle Wang, it seems that you really don't know that the Liu family transferred your ship and the crew on board to other people, but unfortunately, that person is me!"

"What!?" Wang Fu stood up in shock, and after being stunned for a long time, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and he sat down slowly: "It seems that I am too ignorant, I should have known it a long time ago, Gongzi, you have already hinted to me before, and it is not necessary to say that there will be a chance to be my ship again in the future, and when I came, I saw that Gongzi You live in the Zhizhou Mansion, I knew that your status must not be low, in this way, it is a normal thing for the Liu family to give the boat to Gongzi." ”

Cao Yi smiled and nodded: "So Uncle Wang, your new owner is me, so you don't need to say that you defected to me anymore, Uncle Wang and I laughed just now, hahaha!" ”

Wang Fu also echoed and smiled, and now looking back, his actions just now were indeed quite funny, but he thought of Cao Yi's title, immediately stood up, and said seriously: "Son, don't call me Uncle Wang in the future, you really want to torment the villain if you call me like that again." ”

Cao Yi has now become his new owner, and he is Cao Yi's helper, if Cao Yi calls himself an uncle again, it will not sound very appropriate. How can the owner call himself that it is the right and freedom of the owner, if he still has such an eyesight to accept it, it is the real fault.

"It's nothing, that's what I've always called." Cao Yi smiled kindly and explained.

"No, no, no, you really can't call me that, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, you are the owner now, and I am just a helper, this boundary still has to be observed, Childe still calls me by my name or Lao Wang!"

"......" Cao Yi's expression was stunned, and he forcibly controlled the expression on his face, but his heart was already smiling, Wang Fu himself should not have noticed, the homophony of what he said at the end just now was too similar, Cao Yi sounded like "Childe or call me by name or old Wang Ba!" Fortunately, Cao Yi controlled his expression, so that the scene was not too embarrassing.

"Since it is Gongzi and you become the new owner, then I will rest assured, I will go back and tell those brothers later, so that they don't have to worry, if they know that Gongzi is the new owner, then they will definitely be very happy, in the morning when the manager of Liu Mansion Zhang settled the salary with us, we were still quite worried, I don't know who the new owner is, how is the treatment......" Wang Fu patted his chest and said with emotion.

"Hahaha, you wait to go back and let those crew members relax, the treatment will only be more and better than what the Liu family gives, it's still a little early before the meal time, Wang Fu, I won't leave you to eat, Tan Yun, you wait to arrange for ten altars of Taibai to get drunk to Wang Fu, and let the governor of the state government send a carriage back to the dock. Wang Fu, you can tell the crew, these ten jars of wine are a little bit of my heart, as for the appetizers that you accompany the wine, then you can buy it yourself, I don't care about it so fine, you have a good night to live, sleep well at night and rest well, maybe I will have a work arrangement for you in the next two days. Cao Yi commanded with relief, but the meaning of sending off the guest was also obvious.

For Wang Fu, with his life experience, he can naturally understand the meaning behind Cao Yi, and he stood up immediately and proposed to retire, saying that he would go back as soon as possible to reassure his brothers, first, he did have this meaning, and the main purpose of coming over he had already achieved, and it was determined that Cao Yi was the new owner of his next ship, although the treatment had not been discussed in detail, but at least there was a promise, and it would be better than the previous one in Liufu. What's more, Childe also gave Shitan Taibai drunk, and when he heard Childe say these three words just now, he already felt that the wine worm in his stomach had already begun to make trouble.

So it was great for him to be able to go back early and taste the wine as soon as possible.

Cao Yi and Wang Zhiyuan sent Wang Fu out of the gate of the courtyard and then stopped sending him, and Tan Yun was responsible for the rest of the matter. The two returned to the courtyard and sat down again, and Wang Zhiyuan said, "Cao Yi, what's the matter, you kept making eye contact with me just now." ”

Cao Yi smiled and nodded, and said to Wang Zhiyuan: "Uncle Wang, the things in the Zuixian Building here in Yangzhou are almost good, and then I didn't talk about cooperation with the Liu family before, I gave him 50,000 jars of Taibai drunk and 20,000 jars of Qinglian wine every month, and now the new wine on the side of Ziji Mountain is already good, so I plan to let the Liu family go to Jiangning to pick up the goods in the next two days, after all, this involves the scheduling of wine transportation from Ziji Mountain to Jiangning Wharf, as well as the handover with the Liu family at the wharf, after all, 50,000 plus 20,000 is a full 70,000 jars of liquor, There are a lot of carriage transportation alone, but the place of our Ziji Mountain has to be kept secret, so I am thinking that you will help coordinate this matter, Uncle Wang, who is also very good at transporting grain and grass during the previous march and war, and you must also avoid possible sneak attacks from the enemy, so this important task is even more important to you. ”

Wang Zhiyuan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "It seems that this matter is really only what I can do, so let's do it, I will also bring back Shantai Mingde, let him fight, and see if he can be cultivated in this regard, but at present, I am still worried about whether this person can be reused." ”

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, presumably Uncle Wang, you have also observed all aspects during this time, and I have also observed, and I have also asked Brother Yun to arrange people to go to Gongzhou to investigate, and what he said about his life experience is indeed true. So it's okay to let him know about the relevant things on our side of the Taibai Secret Camp. If he wants to take revenge, at present, only the stronger our Taibai Secret Camp becomes, the more likely he is to take revenge. Besides, his non-Tai Yunlan is also with us, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Okay, then it's decided, when will I go back with Tai Mingde?" Wang Zhiyuan agreed, nodded and asked.

"You can set off back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, after all, it will take a long time to prepare for the transportation of this matter, Uncle Wang, according to your estimate, how long will it take for the Liu family to go to Jiangning to receive 70,000 jars of wine?"

Wang Zhiyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "We don't have so many carriages, this still needs to be dispatched, conservatively estimated, it will take at least seven days, right?" ”

"Good! Then when Uncle Wang, the day you set off to return to Jiangning, I asked the Liu family to postpone seven days to Jiangning to pick up the goods, so that we can receive half of the payment first, and there are hundreds of thousands of silver, and then we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and there will be more payment to us later. Cao Yi said with emotion.
