Yuan Yun's life is never boring, his mind is full of novels, small games, and even small movies, and he can always entertain himself while taking care of Cao Ang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that it's boring to watch these things every day, so he began to make all kinds of delicacies in order to satisfy his tongue, which immediately became a benefit for Shi Shen and Xiaoliu, and they couldn't wait for Yuan Yun to fiddle with recipes at home every day.

Now Xuzhou has been decided, Lu Bu's henchmen have all been executed, Cao Cao left the chariot as the history of Xuzhou, and Chen Deng became the Guangling Taishou, but in the near future Chen Deng is still placed in Xuzhou City to appease the people, there is such an indigenous existence, Xuzhou affairs are naturally handled easily, and more popular with the people.

Chen Deng is an absolute talent, at least in the business vision of the extremely shrewd, Xu Yi and others began to engage in prospecting in Xuzhou, he smelled the smell of money.

So Chen Deng would come to Yuan Yun from time to time to disturb him, especially when he knew that Yuan Yun was cooking in person, he would definitely come immediately, in addition to food, the purpose was to hope to collect more taxes for Xuzhou from Yuan Yun.

Looking at the leek eggs, steamed pork, braised pig's trotters, and crystal-like preserved eggs on the table, Chen Deng immediately swallowed his saliva fiercely, and before he was about to lift the chopsticks, he saw Yuan Yun stretch out his hand and roll all those dishes in front of him.

Chen Deng wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with some displeasure: "Is Yuan Hou such a small weapon, every time the palace doesn't agree to your request, you won't give a good face." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, grabbed a braised pig's trotter casually, and deliberately sniffed it before saying, "Is forty percent of the mining tax too high?" In addition, Mr. Yuanlong also wants to collect a poll tax, which is a bit excessive. ”

Without waiting for Chen Deng to answer, Yuan Yun had already handed the braised pig's trotters to Shi Shen on the side, this thing had already had a green light in his eyes, and he swallowed saliva a few times, not wanting him to continue to embarrass himself, so he could only choose to gag him first.

Listening to Shi Shen's shameless chewing voice, Yuan Yun frowned, and then looked at Chen Deng and said: "I hired people to open mines in Xuzhou, so that these people who have experienced the hardships of war can have a full meal to eat, but you have to collect the poll tax of these hard-working people, and the most terrible thing is that you actually want to collect forty percent of my mining tax, and my kindness has all become donkey liver and lungs, Mr. Yuanlong always seems to be resistant to me, why is this?" ”

When Chen Deng heard this, he withdrew the chopsticks in his hand, and replied unhappily: "Xuzhou's minerals will definitely be transported to Xudu in large quantities, which in itself has caused Xuzhou to suffer a great loss.

In addition, Cao Sikong also gave an order, the minerals themselves are sold to Yuan Hou at the lowest price, and Yuan Hou can earn a lot of brain fat at once, is he not willing to pay even a cow's hair? ”

"Joke, if I don't take those limestones, they will rot in the ground, and they have been left for hundreds or thousands of years in the past, and I don't see anyone turning them into money." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he pulled the steamed pork in front of him for a few more points, so as not to be reached by Chen Deng, who picked up the chopsticks again.

Chen Deng's chopsticks were empty again, and he glared at him with some annoyance, but he still said patiently: "As long as things are useful, they are value, and Yuan Hou is in such a hurry now, so it is even more valuable, so this tax cannot be low, four achievements are forty percent, and one percent cannot be less." ”

Yuan Yun was very angry with Chen Deng, who did not enter the oil and salt, but the other party was right, he was mining and transporting it away, it was indeed naked plunder, even if it was a stone, it belonged to Xuzhou after all, and he probably couldn't escape this tax.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun said angrily: "Forty percent of the mining tax is really nothing to say, but I have paid those poll taxes a little unjustly, to find food for the people of Xuzhou, I still have to pay taxes, Mr. Yuanlong is too much." ”

Chen Deng shook his hand and said with a smile: "This poll tax was originally set by the imperial court, but it was not requested by me Chen Deng, but since Yuan Hou promised to pay forty percent of the mining tax, then I can think of some way to pay this poll tax, after all, Yuan Hou is willing to hire hundreds of people, which can be regarded as saving their lives, and some privileges Cao Sikong still gave Chen Deng mine, so it is better to let me repair a book, explain the reason to the imperial court, and exempt this batch of hired poll tax." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, and then pretended to be displeased that someone had taken advantage of him and said: "It can only be like this, it is really unlucky, I am kind enough to rescue the poor people of Xuzhou, but I have to pay forty percent of the tax, the loss is big, the loss is big, Mr. Yuanlong must not mention my name when writing to the court, those old officials in the court want to see my jokes every day, how can they get their wish?" ”

Chen Deng didn't care, although he didn't know much about the things in the court, but these marquis and princes did value those useless faces more than anything else, since this is the case, there is no need to entangle here, anyway, as long as this little marquis Yuan pays the mining tax honestly, everything else is easy to say.

Yuan Yun saw that Chen Gong agreed, so he generously pushed out the dishes in front of him, and made a gesture to enjoy them with you.

Chen Gong was immediately overjoyed, and couldn't wait to eat, and said while eating: "Yuan Hou is really a good person, those people who lost their land and families because of the war have been gathered by you like this, and they have vitality again, this is definitely a great thing with immeasurable merits, and you should really send your merits to Luoyang White Horse Temple for commendation." ”

Yuan Yun's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "Does Mr. Yuanlong believe in Buddhism?" ”

Chen Deng nodded, put down his chopsticks and folded his hands and chanted a few words, and then replied: "The first emperor welcomed the Buddhists of the Western Regions into the Central Plains and established the White Horse Temple, at that time, my family still had people to participate in the construction, so he entered a good fate, and now I have been several generations, Yuan Hou is also interested in Buddhism, it is better to ......"

Yuan Yun quickly interrupted when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I just heard about it, but I haven't been to any White Horse Temple, and I should have a deeper connection with Taoism, so Mr. Yuanlong doesn't need to preach for me." ”

Chen Dengwei was stunned, and realized in an instant that Yuan Yun's master was Zuo Ci, so he was naturally a Taoist.

In fact, Chen Deng didn't understand at all, the reason why Yuan Yun was curious about Buddhism was mostly because of the experience of later generations, this sect is still a little-known small sect today, but it developed later, but it can almost control the country.

It's just that Yuan Yun couldn't explain these things, so he turned back to the previous topic and said: "Since Mr. Yuanlong doesn't charge me the poll tax here, I will naturally thank you, the geography of Xuzhou We have sorted out a batch when we were prospecting, and some places are very suitable for building canals for cultivation, I have recorded them one by one, and I have also drawn a drawing of the construction of the canal." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun handed a booklet to Chen Deng.

Chen Deng had heard of what Yuan Yun was doing in Wancheng before, but he hadn't seen it in person, so he was always skeptical, thinking that no matter how powerful Yuan Yun was a young man, it would be impossible to make the kind of exploits in Wancheng, and it was estimated that most of them were boasted by some people for some purpose.

Taking the booklet in Yuan Yun's hand, Chen Deng just arched his hand to express his gratitude, then casually put it in the cuffs, and continued to eat delicious meals.

Shi Shen on the side saw Chen Deng's contemptuous attitude, and immediately became a little displeased, although his little lord was relatively sloppy most of the time, but Wancheng's hand was very beautiful, but this person didn't know the goods, that was a fool.

Yuan Yun was not angry, but a little happy, after seeing that Chen Gong casually put the pamphlet he made into his arms, he seemed to have made a mistake, so he didn't say anything more.

Chen Gong finished talking about business and enjoyed a delicious meal, so he chose to leave when he was full of wine and food.

Shi Shen kept sending Chen Gong out of the courtyard of this temporary residence in Xuzhou before hurrying back.

When I arrived in the backyard, I found that Yuan Yun was tossing those tofu again, and I didn't know if I asked before, but he only said that he was making new tofu, and Shi Shen didn't bother to take care of it at all, this kind of meal of tofu was not only unpalatable, but also costly, even if he did it, he didn't want to try it.

Wanting these and not, Shi Shen hurriedly arched his hand and asked: "Lord, you have lost a lot today, the mining tax has not been reduced, but there is only one less person head tax, what is the difference between this and not reduced?" ”

Yuan Yun laughed twice, and then replied with a treacherous face: "You know a fart, if Xiahou Mao knows that Chen Deng has exempted us from poll tax, I don't know how happy he is, what is that mining tax?" ”

Shi Shen buckled the back of his head and wondered: "The poll tax is not much, how can it not be higher than the mining tax, right?" ”

Yuan Yun put down the work in his hand, rolled his eyes and said: "In order to let Xuzhou recuperate, the imperial court hired manpower by the employer to pay the capitation tax, plus do you know how to calculate this tax?" According to 30% of their income from the mine, damn, Xiahou Mao's idiot actually used what I taught to the imperial court, unlucky, and collected so high, feudalism really has no human rights. ”

Shi Shen couldn't understand this, so he could only continue to ask: "That means our family has taken advantage?" ”

Yuan Yun replied with a wicked smile: "It's still a big bargain, thirty percent, just kidding, I guess Chen Deng didn't think about how many people I was going to hire, Xuzhou is so rich in minerals, this is a big project, does he really think that I will only hire a hundred people?" ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Yun buckled his chin again, and continued: "Once Xuzhou starts to engage in minerals, it is strange that those nobles in Xudu do not flock in, but now Chen Deng has reduced the poll tax for our family, once the imperial court issues an edict to confirm this matter, who will dare to compete with me in Xuzhou's mining industry in the future?" Lao Tzu's salary is much higher than theirs, and he monopolizes manpower, which is basically equivalent to monopolizing everything, and the Tao in the middle is deeper. ”

Shi Shen didn't understand it anyway, so he simply chose to nod his head again and again, in short, he knew that his family would not suffer, that is, he would take advantage, so he was naturally full of joy.

At this time, Xiao Liu walked in, and saw that Yuan Yun was pounding those so-called tofu again, instead of making delicious meals, not only frowned, but also walked a few steps closer to greet Shi Shen, and then handed over a letter in his hand to Yuan Yun.

Yuan Yun laughed halfway through the opening, shook the letter in his hand and said: "Dong Bi is also interesting, what do you dare not dare to take the love of others, and Cao Qinghe's family affairs, he is opposed, and swears that he will never leave the palace in the near future, let me feel at ease." ”

"This guy is probably afraid, he was tossed by the lord before, so he was afraid that the lord would burn their house again, so he came to explain." After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he glanced at the pile of wine-making utensils placed in the yard, and he really couldn't understand why Yuan Yun was ready to start making tofu?

After Yuan Yun received Dong Bi's letter, he felt a little relieved, as long as Dong Bi honestly hid in the palace, then it shouldn't be a big problem for him to go back later, but I don't know what tricks Cao Ren will come up with, and this matter must be prevented as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, I thought of Cao Ang's previous incident about Cao Ren's tomb robbery, and immediately rolled his eyes, these ancient people are much more superstitious than modern people, do you want to play some trick to scare Cao Ren?

This idea is very tempting, once I wait for myself to return to Xudu, then I must toss this Cao Ren well, dare to fight Sister Qinghe's idea, then if I don't turn you one by one, how can I solve the hatred in my heart?!

Shi Shen and Xiao Liu saw Yuan Yun with a bad smile on their faces, and immediately understood, someone was going to be unlucky soon, but they didn't know if it was the Dong family, or Wu Shuo, or the kind of series, it was estimated that General Cao Ren would not be able to escape.
