CHAPTER XVI

"Big brother, I'm leaving, you have to take care!" Feng Yun said to Cao Xing, followed by twenty or thirty men behind Feng Yun. There were also four large carriages beside it, none of which had seventy or eighty sets of wine on them, adding up to nearly 400 jars.

Cao Xing's factory expanded again a week ago, and now there are more than sixty men under his command, why let Feng Yun take so many men at once, the reason is also very simple, that is, Cao Xuan is ready to push its cold spirit to the surrounding county seats.

If the business of Cold Spirits wants to be bigger, the only way to do it is to continue to expand externally. During the Three Kingdoms period, the transportation was not developed, and the only thing that could be done was to use horse-drawn carriages to transport a kind of goods to another place, as the so-called scarce things are expensive, and when they arrived at that place, the market price would become higher and more profitable, so Fengyun's trip was also for this purpose.

Cao Xuan took a large bag from Chen Hu's hand, then glanced around, and stuffed it directly into Fengyun's arms.

"This way, be careful, I'll wait for you to come back and drink your celebration wine!"

Fengyun smiled at Cao Xing and Chen Hu and the others: "Big brother, Huzi, and all brothers, you can rest assured, with me Fengyun, I will definitely make a lot of money, and when the time comes, I will prepare to double our industry again!" ”

Speaking of this, Feng Yun waved his hand to everyone, and then got into the carriage, and the other guys also got into the carriage and drove away together, and everyone stood at the door like this, watching the carriage disappear into the sky.

Watching Fengyun travel far away, Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he estimated in his heart, Fengyun is going, it will take at least two months to come and go, but the matter of selling cold spirits must be Fengyun, and he can't help it.

Because of going to other places to sell cold day spirits, the first thing Cao Xing should consider is that the leader of selling cold day spirits must be loyal, Cao Xing can only trust a few people, but like Chen Hu Chewu, the two of them are all martial artists, and they don't understand business at all, if there is a little quarrel, they will draw swords against people if they don't say it well, so what kind of business do they have?

The best candidate in Cao Xing's heart is nothing more than Liu Wan, Liu Wan is already in his 30s, and he is more stable than Fengyun, unlike Fengyun who is so impulsive, and his way of doing business is no worse than Fengyun, it is most suitable to send him there, but it is just a cold sky restaurant, and it must be guarded by an experienced person, so Liu Wan can only be sent to guard there, so the final candidate can only be Fengyun.

After all, Cao Xing's foundation is in Bianyun County, and he can't leave for too long.

Cao Xuan waved his hand and asked everyone to go back, what to do.

Chen Hu had already led people to patrol all night yesterday, and now he was sleepy, so he went back to sleep without saying a word, while Che Wu took people to patrol.

Cao Xing came to each room and began to inspect the work of the workers, which was his daily routine.

Since the last time, the recipe for making cold spirits was leaked, Cao Xuan has been very strict with his men, and they are absolutely not allowed to leak half a word, it is precisely because of Cao Xing's strictness that these guys do things meticulously, and every time Cao Xing checks them, he has not found any major problems.

On the other side of the soap industry, the work of winding and streamlining is about to be completed, and everyone's skills are relatively skilled.

These cold day spirits and soap, Cao Xing will send people to Liu Wan's restaurant every day, Liu Wan's restaurant is mainly engaged in cold day spirits and stir-fried vegetables, but next to the cold day restaurant, Liu Wan tried his best to set up a small tent, and sent a guy to deal in soap there, whether it is cold day spirits or soap are sold very hot.

Judging from the account books sent back by Liu Wan every day, in addition to costs and labor costs, Cao Xing can make a net profit of 40,000 taels per month. It only takes about three months, and Cao Xing can earn back all the costs of investing, which is still very good.

Cao Xuan returned to his study, picked up a piece of silk, and began to look at it continuously, this silk is still quite expensive, but on it, it is full of dense words.

The words on this are all written by Fengyun, not Fengyun's violent heavenly objects, but Cao Xing specially bought them back and asked Fengyun to write them. Cao Xing followed the words on it every day, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to trace it on the floor of his room.

In fact, not long after Cao Xing crossed over, he asked Fengyun to teach him to practice calligraphy, Fengyun was a little confused, he had read books and could read and hyphenation, but Cao Xing didn't seem to be interested in reading before, let alone ask for this kind of request like Fengyun.

However, since it was Cao Xing's request, Feng Yun didn't think much about it, and took a little time every day to teach Cao Xing a few words, and the font used in the Three Kingdoms period was Lishu.

Lishu is not as complex as the small seal, and even the Lishu and the text of later generations, there is a great similarity, such as the Fu character Western characters, etc., and the writing of later generations is basically the same, but there are still some words, or seem to be a little complicated, not as simplified as later generations.

Therefore, in terms of word recognition, Cao Xing has basically recognized these fonts now, the most difficult thing is to write, not to mention that Cao Xing is now using a brush to write, which is more difficult, but Cao Xing believes that there is a heart to make it, as long as he practices every day, sooner or later he will practice these fonts well.

However, when he was busy with these things, Cao Xuan still found time to do another thing, on this day, Cao Xuan asked a few guys to prepare things, and then he asked someone for directions, and finally came to a gate.

Cao Xuan knocked on the door, and a maid bared her head and asked, "Who are you looking for!" ”

"Junior Cao Xing, I came to visit Qin Ye today!"

It didn't take long for Hu San to lead Cao Xuan into the mansion, Cao Xuan looked around at Qin Ye's mansion, Qin Ye's mansion was not as magnificent as he imagined, surrounded by some ordinary buildings, and some ponds and flowers, nothing special.

Cao Xuan saw Qin Ye in the guest room, Cao Xuan didn't say a word, and directly asked the guy to send the things inside, including a hundred catties of cold day spirits, and a few side dishes made by Cao Xing.

Seeing these things, Qin was also a little hesitant, but finally nodded and accepted it, he immediately asked his subordinates to prepare the meal, and then the guests and hosts sat down, which was equivalent to Qin Ye feasting Cao Xing.

Eating the fried dishes, Qin Ye's appetite seemed to be very good, not at all like he was nearly sixty years old.

Cao Xuan first expressed his gratitude, if it wasn't for Qin Ye's help that day, I'm afraid that something would really have happened to the Hantian Restaurant.

And Qin Ye just smiled, in fact, as he said, although he used to be an official, but now he is half old, maybe he has been buried in the soil, he doesn't want to care about so many things, the reason why he helped Cao Xuan that day is because he really can't get used to seeing Yu Shou go crazy there. The second is that I really don't want a promising young man like Cao Xing to suffer injustice.

In the chat, Cao Xing learned that during the period of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Qin Ye enlisted in the army, went to the border to fight against Xianbei, although he had military exploits, but in the end because he suffered a little injury, so he came to the local official, first became a county lieutenant in Bianyun County, although he was injured, but his style of work was still strong, once he caught the thieves of chickens and dogs, and the thieves who robbed the house, they must be unforgiving, so the law and order in Bianyun County has always been good.

Later, because of his merit, he was promoted to Taiyuan County as an official, but the experience of that period was not too deep.

After the third round of wine and the five flavors of the dishes, Qin Ye asked Cao Xuan directly: "Nephew Cao Xian, I don't know what ambitions you have!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Xing's heart was shocked, what did Qin Ye mean by this, and his mind began to spin rapidly. Could it be that Qin Ye means that Cao Xing can be elected as an official, although he doesn't know Qin Ye's specific identity, but Cao Xing sees that he is so powerful and knows that even if Qin Ye retreats here now, it is estimated that he has a lot of connections in the officialdom, and even some protégés.

If he really wants to promote a young man into officialdom, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, but this is a bit mysterious, Cao Xing is not related to him, why does he want to promote Cao Xing?

Although some things seem to have endless benefits, everything is two-sided, if Qin Ye just wants to support a puppet and make himself more powerful in the officialdom, then Cao Xuan would rather not do it. It's because he Cao Xuan is not the kind of person who is willing to listen to other people's commands, so Cao Xuan showed a smile after thinking for a while.

"I am a cloth cloth, I can have today's achievements, I am satisfied, I only hope that the business will be bigger and stronger in the future, and I hope that Qin Ye will support more!"

Naturally, some words can't be said in person, and it is impossible to ask Qin Ye clearly, not to mention that Cao Xuan doesn't have much contact with Qin Ye, and he doesn't know much about his personality, so naturally it is impossible to agree like this, unless the ghost is confused.

When Qin Ye heard Cao Xing's words, he looked at Cao Xuan expressionlessly for three seconds, and finally nodded, but there was a sigh on his lips, as if he was a little regretful.

Then Cao Xuan chatted with Qin Ye about something else, seeing that the time was almost up, Cao Xuan felt that it was time for him to leave, so he got up to say goodbye to Qin Ye.

Qin Ye nodded and asked Hu San to send Cao Xuan out, but at the moment when Cao Xuan was about to walk out of the threshold, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of something next to him, and Cao Xuan couldn't help but stop.

Cao Xuan walked in that direction, and he was shocked at this look, this is a mature bookcase, and there seem to be dozens of books.

"Hehe, nephew Cao Xian, it seems that you are quite interested in these books of mine!" When Qin Ye saw this scene, he smiled and walked over and said.
