The process of returning to Xudu is much easier than when I went, at least Juan'er's matter is solved, and Wang's future arrangements have also set a general strategy with Diao Chan, and the focus is still on the battle between the shipyard and the south.

After these things were dealt with, Yuan Yun returned to Xudu on the Wang family's big ship.

The veteran officials in the DPRK and China who are ready to make moves because of the restructuring have finally stopped a lot recently.

This time, the war against Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan in the north was finally put on the agenda, so all the activities of the imperial court needed to make way for the army, and Yuan Yun chose to return to Xudu at this time, which would naturally be much more peaceful.

The moment he entered Xu Du, Yuan Yun could almost smell the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the whole city was preparing for this truly meaningful crusade.

There are obviously a lot fewer adult strong men, which directly leads to the closure of many shops on the streets, although the war in Xudu has decreased a lot in the past two years, but the military service that should be served still cannot be replaced, so all the middle-aged men over the age of eighteen are recruited into the barracks again, and then it is the whole winter training.

All the generals under Cao Cao entered their respective barracks almost at the same time, and the advisers also began to enter and leave Cao's mansion all day long, everything seemed tense and orderly, and even the prostitutes in the Qinglou also changed their usual lyrics and songs, and most of the new repertoire was full of male masculinity.

To Yuan Yun's surprise, the "Chivalrous Journey" he stole from Li Bai turned out to be the most popular track, and every time the prostitutes sang 'Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles away.' Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. When these four sentences are met, the guests in the audience will be like being beaten with chicken blood, and then there will be all kinds of irrepressible excitement, which makes the prostitutes in the Qinglou earn a lot of money for the night.

Yuan Yun sat in the frame, looking at the somewhat depressed streets, his brows couldn't help but stir, although the war will make mankind progress faster in the big picture, but as far as the current people are concerned, it is a demon who destroys everything.

"Yuan Lang seems to be worried about the people of Xudu." When Cai Wenji's voice sounded, Yuan Yun's brows instantly stretched.

Cai Wenji saw Yuan Yun close the car window, and continued: "Yuan Lang is probably worried in vain, for the people of Xudu, this military service is the best time to get military merits, now everyone knows that the Yuan clan in the north has no strength to resist Cao Sikong, a war that is destined to win, naturally everyone is brave, but those who are excluded from the military because of their age will complain more than every day, so Yuan Lang, you are really worried in vain." ”

Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "I'm also going to go on the expedition this time, isn't Wen Ji worried?" ”

Cai Wenji was stunned for a moment, and her face softened in an instant, and then she leaned on Yuan Yun's shoulder like a kitten and said: "Only Yuan Lang in the world would think that war is not only against men, and women who stay at home have never suffered less, and who will understand these." ”

Yuan Yun, who was gently wrapped by Cai Wenji, immediately wanted to do something, but at this moment he heard Cai Wenji in his arms muttering: "The concubine's menstrual affairs have not come this month. ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly, he didn't want Cai Wenji to be pregnant, but he couldn't be too anxious about this matter, after all, it was only a month's menstrual affair that didn't come, which didn't prove too much, unless he didn't come next month, then it was estimated that it would be decided.

Yuan Yun, who was overjoyed, was just about to ask clearly, but he heard Zhang Shun, who was guarding outside the frame, say in a loud voice: "Tell the lord, Cao Zhuang of Cao Mansion asks to see you." ”

Yuan Yun immediately scolded in his heart for being unlucky, and then carefully straightened Cai Wenji, and then said apologetically: "It seems that I am going to Cao Mansion first, Wenji will go back to rest first, it is best to inform the eldest sister of this matter, she will make proper arrangements." ”

Cai Wenji covered her mouth and chuckled, then sent Yuan Yun out of the car, and when she turned around, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face, she was just looking forward to really being pregnant with Yuan Yun's child in her belly this time.

After Yuan Yun heard Cao Zhuang's name, he knew what was going on, so after getting off the frame, he didn't ask anything, and went directly to the frame next to Cao Zhuang, waiting to be sent to Cao Mansion's house to meet Cao Cao's old man.

But when Yuan Yun stepped into the carriage, he was immediately stunned, because Cao Cao was sitting in the frame, and when he saw Yuan Yun coming in, he just squinted his eyes and smiled, looking very annoying.

These are nothing, Yuan Yun is even more strange that Cao Cao is still sitting next to Bian, and now he has a headache, is it for business or private affairs now?

"Stinky boy, don't hurry up and get the old man in the car, such a strong wind, you Aunt Bian can't carry the cold." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he pointed to the opposite position in the carriage.

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, looking at this alternative carriage, he felt a loss, when he made this kind of frame that could sit opposite each other, it was completely to satisfy his envy of those princes' frames in Europe.

As a result, Cao Cao took a fancy to it at first sight, thinking that this kind of frame was very convenient for him to talk about official business with others, so he took it directly on the grounds of his own birthday.

Later, Yuan Yun learned that Cao Cao's birthday was July, and it was December when he took the frame.

Unlucky.

Looking at the robber couple in front of him, Yuan Yun began to prepare very carefully in his heart, it is estimated that it is very difficult not to be robbed, so it can only be for the purpose of reducing losses.

Bian waited for Yuan Yun to sit upright, and immediately smiled: "Before, my shopkeepers were handed over to Yiyi to take care of, and by the end of this year, there has really been some growth, and those businesses in Cao Mansion have been accounted for this year, which is three times higher than last year, so I plan to expand a little more next year." ”

Hearing Bian's words, Yuan Yun was even more confused, when is it now, he is about to send troops to the four northern states, and Cao Cao is still in the mood to run out with his second wife to talk about business.

And what Bian said was also very boring, the profits have tripled, and he only said that he had made some progress, which is very unreasonable.

Cao Cao squinted at Yuan Yun, and then said incomprehensibly: "In a stable battle, Yuan Hou is very powerful, Ma Teng wrote a letter to the old man, saying that the gunpowder army is the combat power of the gods, and the old man has such an army, and he must be invincible in the world." ”

Yuan Yun's mind is full of question marks now, isn't he going to talk about business matters, why did he start talking about the way of the battle formation again, and if he wants to talk about the military, it is very inappropriate for the Bian family to appear here.

Cao Cao saw that Yuan Yun's face was still the same, and he suddenly frowned, and said: "Your kid's trip to stability has gained a lot, all the grain that Zhang Lu left there was transported away by you, even if Xiliang is now in a food shortage, you didn't let Ma Chao take away a stone, it's really capable." ”

This is obviously the opposite, Yuan Yun heard it very clearly, so he hurriedly bent down and arched his hand: "Cao Sikong forgive me, Luoyang is also suffering from a food shortage, we can't take care of our own people, where is the mood to take care of other people's bad things, and the Ma family also got what they wanted, stability has become a borderless land again, and their Xiliang portal is immediately safe, isn't this enough to thank them for sending troops?" ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Yun suddenly stopped, and then continued: "By the way, Ma Chao also took a set of priceless glass tea sets from me, which is not cheap." ”

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Yun's respectful appearance half-bent over, and listened to the nonsense in his mouth, and instantly wanted to give the other party a hard slap on the back of the head, but he still endured it when his hand was raised in the air, after all, Yuan Yun is now an adult, and he can no longer be treated like a child.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao sighed secretly, feeling a little lost in his heart, shook his head, and waved some of the things that he didn't have, and then continued: "Ma Teng's side can not be taken care of for the time being, now let's talk about business matters." ”

Cao Cao glanced at Bian as he spoke, and then he quieted down and handed over all the next words to his concubine.

Bian glanced at Yuan Yun unhurriedly, and the look in his eyes was completely like a fixed person, as soon as this look appeared, Yuan Yun felt that his whole body was hurting in his buttocks.

"As soon as the Western Regions are opened, will there be a caravan in the Yuan Mansion?" After Bian asked, he began to wait curiously for an answer.

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Why did Aunt Bian suddenly say this?" ”

Bian Shi smiled and said leisurely: "A few days ago, I went to your house to see Yiyi and the child, and when I was talking about the child, Yiyi mentioned that she wanted to prepare a lot of gold and silver utensils from the Western Regions for her child. ”

When Yuan Yun heard the news that Liu Yiyi had leaked, his heart instantly brightened, as if he suddenly saw a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

How could Liu Yiyi say that she was out of her mouth, her kind of human spirit brain is about to catch up with the CPU of the computer, since it is not that she missed her mouth, then it is Liu Yiyi deliberately, since Liu Yiyi has her own plan, then it is definitely not far off.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun said in embarrassment: "Yiyi just said it casually, how can Aunt Bian take it seriously." ”

Cao Cao immediately said unhappily when he heard this: "What? It's rare for your Aunt Bian to want to do business with your Yuan Mansion, do you dare to object? ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "Why do you need to partner with the Yuan Mansion, now that there are more big clans in Xu Capital City who want to go to the Western Regions to open a trade route, how can they all be more powerful than my small Yuan Mansion, wouldn't it be better for Aunt Bian to follow them?" ”

Bian immediately frowned, and said unhappily: "Those people only know that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in the past, they earned a lot of wealth from there, so they all wanted to participate.

But you little bastard is different, I don't know how many places Zuo Ci took you to back then, since you have begun to worry about the Western Regions, it proves that you must know very well over there, when did our son-in-law of Cao Mansion do a loss-making business, yes or no? ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched twice, and he could only arch his hand again: "How much does Aunt Bian plan to take this time?" ”

Bian Shi was like a victorious general, straightened his waist and said: "Fifty percent!" ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched again, this is a lion's big mouth, and if he comes up and doesn't say anything, he will ask for fifty percent, which is equivalent to taking half of the profits at once, which is unlucky.

Bian looked at Yuan Yun's expression, and seemed to feel that it was a little excessive, so he snorted and said, "Look at your stingy appearance, Cao Mansion will account for thirty percent, lest you think that I am a bully in your heart." ”

Yuan Yun muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just bullying, there is no place at all that is not bullying." ”

After muttering, he hurriedly replied: "Since Aunt Bian has said it, then it is okay to be three, you go back to Yiyi to discuss this matter, she is in charge, and you two masters and apprentices are naturally easier to talk to." ”

Bian snorted again and said, "Of course, how can any of the apprentices I teach not respect me." ”

Cao Cao saw that the Bian family had finally finished discussing his own affairs, and he could be regarded as letting go of a matter of his heart, and now that he heard that Yuan Yun was back, this wife has been pestering him to talk about business, which makes Cao Cao have a headache, and he always feels that it is a little unreasonable for him to participate in this matter.

But in the end, under Bian's analysis, he suddenly felt that it was still necessary to visit, because Bian only said one sentence: If the Western Regions Trade Road is opened, then Caofu's income can be increased by at least ten times.

At this time, the frame had already arrived at Cao's mansion, Cao Cao coughed lightly, and said to Bian's family: "You go to discuss with Yiyi's child, the old man still has something to talk to this kid here." ”

Bian immediately saluted, and then quietly stepped back from the frame.

After Cao Cao waited for Bian to get out of the car, he suddenly shouted at Cao Zhuang: "Go to the palace!" ”

Yuan Yun was taken aback, why was he suddenly going to the palace, could he not say it in the Cao Mansion? This is really strange, I just came back and I didn't have any preparations, so it's not good to go to the palace like this, so I should let myself change my clothes.

Cao Cao didn't have so much Yuan Yun's careful thoughts, he had already closed his eyes and recuperated at this moment, and let the frame shake and drive towards the palace.
