Chapter 28: The Zhen Family Reconciliation
Zhen Tuo came to Wenyue Tower with a heavy heart all the way, and when he saw him coming, the shopkeeper who was really calculating the accounts put down the work in his hand, and came over to greet him with a smile and a smile:
"Lady Zhen! I knew you were coming! Welcome, welcome! ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper handed over two rolls of bamboo slips, and said with a smile: "Give!" Cao Longjiang's new poem! ”
"Oh!" Zhen Tuo looked at the shopkeeper and let out a sluggish sound, and then took the bamboo slip: "Thank you to the shopkeeper!" ”
To the surprise of the shopkeeper, Zhen Tuo was not like when he first won "Plugged Song", the excited deer jumped wildly, and he opened it and read it more than 100 times on the spot.
Looking at the two bamboo slips with "Burrow Ming" and "Viewing the Sea" written in his hand, Zhen Tuo looked at the horse shopkeeper and asked absentmindedly: "The horse shopkeeper!" Do you say that appearance is important, or talent is important? ”
The shopkeeper looked at Zhen Tuo, and then looked at the bamboo slip that he held tightly in his hand but did not open it, and thought about it, and said with a sincere face: "Lang Cai and a girl are born to be a pair!" ”
Zhen Tuo's big eyes looked at the shopkeeper, and he suddenly opened his mouth, bowed and saluted again and again, and thanked him.

Cao Xuan was still chatting with Zhen Yao about his life ideals, but Zhen Yao couldn't sit still, this chat was just a few hours, and it was time to eat, he didn't want to leave Cao Yao to eat with his family.
In particular, there is a second sister in the family who admires his poetry.
"Talking to Cao Longjiang is better than reading for ten years, and it's almost time to eat, why don't you stay and have lunch together?" Zhen Yao said the invitation, but there was no trace of salvation on his face, and everyone stood up, waiting for Cao Xing to refuse to send off the guest.
Cao Xuan smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Brother Yao to be so loving!" Then Cao is better to be respectful! ”
Zhen Yao opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time, he had never seen such a shameless person, didn't his intention to send off a guest obvious? couldn't help but continue: "The Zhen family is a small family, the food is simple, and I am afraid that it will not suit Cao Longjiang's appetite!" ”
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I'll eat whatever you eat!" Cao Xing's answer is called a generous and refreshing.
Zhen Yao was almost not angry, he just wanted to break the jar and expel it directly, and the old man of the Zhen family came in slowly.
Zhen Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said respectfully: "Ah Weng! ”
Zhen Yi nodded, sat down on the main seat, didn't pay attention to this obedient good boy he liked since he was a child, and said to Cao Xing and Huangfu Li, who came to salute:
"General Cao Long, the emperor's son is here, the old man is old, he can't welcome him from afar, I hope to forgive me, I don't know what you are visiting to so-called things, why don't you open your hearts?"
Seeing that the main lord who had been waiting for a long time had come, Cao Xing made a look, Huangfu Li took a gift box from Liu Pi and came to Zhen Yi's case, the gift box on the fourth floor was opened and listed separately in front of Zhen Yi.
Zhen Yi touched the snow-white sand crystal on the far left, grabbed a small handful and sniffed it, his expression immediately changed, as if he saw the fairy elixir, stretched out his tongue and licked it.
Salty, salty without a hint of miscellaneous taste.
Reaching out and picking up a white transparent candle again, he smelled the faint fragrance coming from it, and looked at the strange red candle in his house that exuded a pungent and unpleasant smell.
Check the excess canned grouper in compact ceramic one by one; Sea cucumber, a precious medicinal herb but extremely rare.
Zhen Yi, who was over seventy years old, had an unnatural flush on his face, as if he was about to fall, Zhen Yao hurriedly got up and prepared to move forward, Zhen Yi waved his hand to signal him to do a good job, and looked at Cao Xuan like looking at a pile of gold mountains:
"I've heard that there are a large number of dried fish that I have never seen and don't know how to make in Xuzhou recently, which are not only easy to preserve, but do not touch the iron law of salt;
There are also some incense powders formed by the legendary ambergris that exude a charming fragrance that is better than musk, but affects pregnancy!
and other novel and popular goods, so that it earns a lot of money! ”
Hearing his own Lao Tzu say this, Zhen Yao's reaction was understood again, as if he was alive and dead.
Cao Xing looked at Zhen Yi seriously, and said without a trace of emotion: "It's exactly what I provided!" I believe that with those exclusive goods, plus these in front of you, it will not be long before the Mi family will step out of Xuzhou, enter Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and then go to the world, and become the first wealthy businessman in the Han Dynasty. ”
Zhen Yi and Zhen Yao couldn't sit still anymore, and they had sex with Cao because the maritime trade route they had monopolized was cut off.
But flat-bottomed fishing boats, often because of a strong wind and waves, even people and goods are sunk into the sea, no matter how labor-saving the sea is, it can only transport some large but not precious goods, and smuggle some ironware, salt to Liaodong, and then go north to sell in Xianbei, Wuheng and other foreign races, bringing a large income.
But it is far less than the income brought by the four things in front of him.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and soon the Zhen family reconciled with Cao and stayed for lunch.
Therefore, Cao Xuan saw Zhen Tuo again, and the other party seemed to forget the disappointment when he saw him for the first time, and talked and laughed with him.
At the same time, Cao Xuan also saw the third daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Dao, the fourth daughter Zhen Rong, and the future Luo Shen Zhen Mi of the young daughter.
Out of the Zhen family's mansion, Cao Xing and the four of them came to Wenyue Tower and opened the quietest guest room, with Huangfu Li and Hu Chi'er guarding the door.
After a while, the shopkeeper of Wenyue Tower came in quietly, bowed and whispered: "Jinyi Wei Xuanwu Hall Dubo Matai has seen the lord. ”
Cao Xing's newly built Jinyi Guard, as long as he passes through layers of screening, once he joins, he is at least a fake Dubo, and he enjoys the corresponding treatment of the fake Dubo in Cao's army, but he has no subordinates.
However, the fake Dubo can receive money and food other than himself, and he can also receive money and food from the five regular soldiers in Cao's army, which can be used to develop the lower line in his own name.
When the number of people on the line is close to fifty and reaches the standard of Dubo, he will be promoted to Dubo, and he will dominate the two brocade guards and fake Dubo.
There are also fake tun chiefs, fake military candidates, and fake Sima who are directly awarded, but if you want to do the main job, you have to rely on your own ability to develop like Du Bo.
Originally, I wanted to inspect the work of the local Jinyi Guard, and then ordered to pay more attention to the Zhen family, but when I heard that the other party called himself Matai, Cao Xuan became interested: "Are you from Rongcheng, Zhuo County?" ”
"Exactly!" Ma Tai replied at no accord.
The other party affirmed, Cao Xing's interest was even greater, and he said something that made Ma Tai scratch his head.
"Ma Dubo, the scale of Jinyiwei is getting bigger and bigger, and there is an urgent need for talent expansion, here, I grant you a special case, once you find talents, please recommend them immediately, if you pass the screening and enter Jinyiwei, what position he initially received, you will directly become his superior."
Cao Xuan said encouragingly:
"You know, Wu Jin Yiwei, everything speaks with strength, if you have excellent ability, you can just join and give a fake tun commander or even a fake military candidate or a fake Sima, it's also okay! At that time, you will be the commander, the military candidate, and the military horse! ”
