The Gunpowder Army received the grain and grass sent by Diao Chan, and the previous consumption had not been used up, so it became surplus at the moment.

So the way to deal with this batch of baggage immediately caused a scramble among the various units in the army, everyone knows that even if it is the gunpowder leftover, it is the treasure of the treasures, not to mention that these baggage has not been used, and the seals on it are even complete.

So Xu Chu unceremoniously took away a bunch of flame bombs, and then left a batch of cattle and sheep that had been obtained by the herdsmen who had gone north to loot in the past few days.

Other generals also followed suit, as long as they were idle these days, they would send their scouts out to plunder, and then use them to exchange baggage with the gunpowder army, so that after half a month, there were no more living creatures in the few Karasuma pastures that were basically close to the north, not only cattle and sheep, but also herdsmen were left with dead bodies.

After several groups of greedy scouts were ambushed by the Karasuma people, Cao Cao finally issued an order strictly prohibiting the plundering of cattle and sheep.

Yuan Yun looked at the gunpowder army camp, those countless cattle and sheep, and kept frowning, this time it is even more troublesome, and these cattle and sheep have to be sent to Yecheng, the nearest canning processing factory is there, this time it is necessary to send out a lot of manpower, after all, the Han people are different from those skilled herdsmen to drive so many cattle and sheep back, they can only rely on more manpower.

"Let's roast a whole sheep, honey Lao Tzu found someone to get it, I was going to bake it myself, damn, the cook in Lao Tzu's camp is a mallet, come and go back to know whether the salt or the gunpowder army's food is delicious." Xu Chu finished chattering, and sat next to Yuan Yun.

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched constantly, after starting to have more cattle and sheep from the Gunpowder Army, Xu Chu had to come to eat one almost every day, and in order to be angry, he made three for this product in one go, and he was going to support the girl, but Xu Chu was really not a fool, and he packed it back to send his brothers when he couldn't finish eating.

"The Powder Army is leaving in two days, right?" Xu Chu saw that Yuan Yun didn't speak, and saw that the cook on the side had already started to bake the charcoal fire, so he asked again.

Yuan Yun took the rice bowl he was holding in his hand, and originally planned to come to the gunpowder army kitchen to stir up, but he ran into Xu Chu head-on, and he could only say that he was unlucky.

"It is estimated that it will not take two days, and after resting today, we will leave tomorrow, but the craftsmen who will be camping will stay."

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he glanced at the craftsmen who were busy in the distance, and then continued: "This will be an important supply point for our gunpowder army, so we must not lose it, so I plan to build a small castle here to prevent the Karasuma people from sneaking up. ”

Xu Chu nodded, and then suddenly snorted, and said: "Cheap Lejin that grandson, originally everyone was a little pitiful for this guy, after all, leaving him with an army to drag the Karasuma people here, the big guys all think it's a chore, who would have thought that our Yuan Hou has the ability to build a city on the ground, and now the old boy Lejin is estimated to beg the heavens and the earth to look forward to the Karasuma people to send them to death, which is a great military achievement." ”

As he spoke, Xu Chu had already eaten a few light side dishes that Yuan Yun hadn't had time to eat, and the speed was very fast, not delaying him at all.

Yuan Yun looked at the few empty plates in front of him, and could only put the empty bowls once, and now he could only wait with Xu Chu to roast the whole sheep.

"I estimate that after our gunpowder army goes to the Karasuma realm, the other party will definitely come to attack here, so General Lejin's military exploits can't run away, and he is also preparing now, and he only bought a large number of firearms from me yesterday, and the payment is real money, unlike some generals who always get livestock to make up the numbers." Yuan Yun's words were full of helplessness, and these generals naturally included Xu Chu.

Xu Chu was completely immune to Yuan Yun's ridicule, and even saved the reaction, but after listening to Yuan Yun's words, he didn't say angrily: "It's all uncles and uncles who take care of you, and now that they have reaped the benefits, they must note it in their hearts, and they can take care of Luoyang more in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Chu seemed to remember something, so the corners of his mouth immediately brought a smile, and said: "Lao Tzu owed the final payment to Luoyang before, can you delay it for a while?" ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, and could only shake his head helplessly: "Those money were borrowed from your old and Cao Ang Shizi's bank, but they are not owed to Luoyang, so I really can't call the shots." ”

Xu Chu pursed his lips and said, "It's not all the same, what's the difference?" ”

Yuan Yun shook his head again and said: "Qianzhuang and Luoyang are separated, in order to facilitate the merger into the imperial court in the future, this is an essential difference, Luoyang's assets can be given some convenience, but Qianzhuang must be very rigorous, this is related to the stability of the country, and there can be no negligence." ”

Xu Chu was inexplicable when he heard it, and he really couldn't tell the difference in his heart? It's just that at this moment, seeing Yuan Yun's serious face, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he knew that the other party was not talking nonsense.

Frowning, Xu Chucai asked: "It's just a small money bank, and it can influence the country, isn't this something that has been said?" ”

Yuan Yun didn't answer and asked, "How much did Uncle Xu Chu borrow from Qian Zhuang?" ”

Xu Chu was stunned, then touched his chin and said: "About 500,000 yuan before and after, all of which were used in the equipment of the boys under Lao Tzu, the interest is reasonable, and the money repaid every year is not too much, so I just said that it is just a small money bank, and the country has still said something." ”

Yuan Yun sighed and said: "Uncle Xu Chu, don't just think about yourself, in addition to your elder, there are no less than twenty generals who have borrowed money from Qianzhuang, and General Xiahou Yuan has borrowed one million yuan in one go, and almost everyone in his cavalry team is now wearing iron armor."

In addition to the military, many businessmen also have loans, although the number of each person is not large, but there are more people who borrow, before and after Cao Ang Shizi's money bank almost lent out tens of millions of guan, this is just the beginning, now there are more and more people who know the convenience of this method, so this number is also growing wildly, and when we finish the crusade against Karasuma, it is estimated that there should be tens of millions of guan. ”

When Xu Chu heard Yuan Yun say this, he instantly shuddered, and said urgently with his eyes like copper bells: "How can you have so much money, could it be that your kid used the skills of the immortal family to make it?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Chu paused slightly, and then happily patted Yuan Yun's shoulder and said, "Boy, it's cheap, don't forget your Uncle Xu Chu, come on, come on, first give me a hundred thousand yuan to use." ”

Yuan Yun could only despise Xu Chu in his heart, and finally replied patiently: "You saved all this money, didn't Uncle Xu Chu say that we were panicking when we opened the money, not only to help people keep the money, but also to pay other people's interest when they turned around, didn't you let your aunt save 50,000 yuan in one go, and said that you definitely have to take advantage of this cheapness." ”

Xu Chu's face turned green in an instant, and then he shouted like thunder: "When you turned around, you used our money, lent it to us, and charged a higher interest, so you didn't have anything to make money?!" ”

Looking at the violent Xu Chu, Yuan Yun could only shrug his shoulders with a wry smile and said, "Why don't we pay, the guards who take care of the money want to eat, right?" The shopkeeper has to support his family, and even if he moves those coppers around, it will take a lot of freight.

What's more important is reputation, now Cao Ang's reputation is so good, and there is a giant thing like Luoyang behind it, so everyone is willing to save money to come in, and it is someone else who dares to believe it, so we make this money as a matter of course. ”

After saying this, Yuan Yun looked at Xu Chu's reaction slightly, this thing seems to understand at this moment, this matter is almost impossible to do with anyone, the only thing that can be compared is probably only the credibility of the lord Cao Cao, but this kind of thing involving money, the lord is definitely inconvenient to participate.

Nodding his head fiercely, Xu Chu suddenly rolled his eyes, and then changed his smile and said: "This is a matter of great benefits, or you kid go and build it with Cao Ang Shizi, let my Xu family also participate in it, and if you have money, you have to take care of our uncles and uncles." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched, who said that Xu Chu was stupid, this product is simply a model of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, at this moment, when he heard the profit model of Qian Zhuang, he immediately understood the key, so he immediately wanted to get a piece of the pie, which was extremely decisive.

In desperation, Yuan Yun could only take his role seriously again, and then said in a deep voice: "We must not participate in this matter, whoever participates will die, so at present, there is only one shareholder of Qianzhuang, and it can only be one, that is Cao Angshizi, Aunt Bian didn't dare to insert a finger into it when she knew about it, after all, once this Qianzhuang becomes a scale, it can influence a region, and then involve the whole world, is it to ask such an important institution, if someone else is involved in it, will Cao Sikong agree?" ”

Xu Chu was stunned when he heard this, and finally understood the truth, so he quickly covered his mouth, and then frowned: "Just assume that I don't know anything, and I never said that I want to buy shares, you kid remember it clearly." ”

As soon as Xu Chu's voice fell, he saw that the cook had already brought the roasted whole lamb, and the most tender lamb was chosen, which was coated with honey and golden, which instantly made people look at their appetite, so neither of them was talking nonsense, you and I began to eat one bite at a time.

After Xu Chu finally returned to his camp, Yuan Yun also planned to return to his camp, but at this time he met Zhang Liao, who came from the camp patrol.

Zhang Liao was a little surprised to see Yuan Yun, because the other party was holding a roast leg of lamb wrapped in paper and even carrying a pot of wine.

"The barracks are heavy, and it's not a good thing for the marshal to wander around with wine like this." After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he had already finished saluting, and he had always been meticulous about the rules in these barracks.

Yuan Yun looked at Zhang Liao like this, he could only shout in his heart that he was unlucky, he originally planned to send a leg of mutton to Zhang Liao, and then send the wine to Xu You, but he didn't expect to be caught by Zhang Liao at once.

"The meat is for General Zhang, that is, for Mr. Xu You, after all, he has been working logistics and supply in the past two days." Yuan Yuntang said, his face was still full of embarrassment.

Zhang Liao frowned, took the leg of mutton with his hand, and then glanced at the wine jug in Yuan Yun's hand, but could only sigh and choose to ignore it.

After opening the paper a little and taking a bite of mutton, Zhang Liao continued: "Cao Ang's flying pigeon biography has arrived, and it is at Mr. Xu You's place at the moment, and the marshal only needs to return to his camp tent, because Mr. Xu You has just passed." ”
