Half a month passed quickly, and the site selection of the mine in Xuzhou had been basically determined, and Xu Yi and others were enough to deal with the rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The three of them are now looting all over Xuzhou, as long as it is conducive to the construction of Xudu New Town, then even if it is a piece of mud, they will find a way to transport it back.

Because Yuan Yun promised them that when the new city was built, he would hand over all the business affairs in the city to Xu Yi and Xiahou Mao to take care of, and as for Dianman, he had a military position, but the name was very strange, called sheriff.

This year's winter came a little early, and on the way back at the end of October, the sky was already foaming with snow, and the mountains were dyed in a plain color, a bit like ink painting.

Yuan Yun always didn't have enough to look at this kind of scenery, so he kept staring out the car window in a daze.

Cao Ang couldn't withstand the cold because of excessive blood loss, but fortunately he had the copper heater made by Yuan Yun by his side, which would not take up much space even if it was placed in the frame, but now Yuan Yun opened the window panel of the frame, and the cold air continued to pour in, which made Cao Ang very helpless.

Stuffing a piece of charcoal into the copper furnace, Cao Ang breathed out the cold air comfortably, but still felt a little cold and shrunk his neck, then closed the car window, and then asked Yuan Yun beside him: "Xuzhou has plenty of manpower?" Is it enough for Brother Yun to use for mining? ”

Yuan Yun saw that the beautiful mountain scenery was gone, and immediately frowned a little displeased, and finally replied with a smile: "I never thought that Xuzhou has so many manpower, but the arable land is pitiful, most of it is still saline-alkali land by the sea, planting on those unsuitable land, it is simply torture, and I don't know what these people think?"

But now, the pawn man is gradually co-opting these people, although the village is not very happy, but the young people are very willing to go to our mines to work, after all, they are more comfortable than they farm, and earn more. ”

When Cao Ang heard Yuan Yun say this, he immediately shook his hand and objected: "Cultivation is the foundation of the country, naturally you can't give up easily, before my father ordered you to hand over the waterway planning of Wancheng to Chen Palace, Brother Yun hasn't forgotten, right?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled: "I gave it to him a long time ago, but I don't think he took it seriously." ”

Cao Ang nodded and said: "It's the first time I've heard that these are made by a young man, Brother Yun, I won't believe it, after all, your age is too young, and Chen Gong doesn't know you, but he will soon go to Wancheng to observe, and then he will naturally understand, and then take the initiative to follow suit." ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he said with a crooked mouth: "I don't think I have to wait until that time, Chen Gong may be studying those plans now." ”

Cao Ang was stunned and wondered: "How can you see it?" I have been with Chen Gong for half a month, and I know that he is a cautious person, if he hadn't seen the model of Wancheng, he would definitely not believe it easily. ”

Yuan Yun couldn't help frowning when he saw Cao Ang talking, and knew that talking too much would affect the wound, so he hurriedly explained: "Chen Gong exempted me from the poll tax for requisitioning labor in Xuzhou, and he personally applied to the imperial court. ”

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, then his mouth grew in an instant, and he exclaimed: "Chen Gong has always been a person who cares about the family, and he regards Xuzhou as more important than his life, how could he make such a stupid decision?" Now he has a lot less taxes in Xuzhou. ”

Yuan Yun smiled and continued: "Because he looks down on me as a marquis, and thinks that I am just a young man, and I was sealed by luck, so I deliberately did not want to pay the mineral tax, and he really thought that the mineral tax was the most important, and in the end I gave in one step, and he had to give in one step, and the result was that the poll tax was exempted for me." ”

Cao Ang smiled bitterly, then leaned comfortably into the cushion behind him, and then asked, "Then why do you say that the Chen Palace will soon pay attention to the construction of the canal?" You made him suffer a big loss this time, and if he doesn't hate you, he is relieved. ”

Yuan Yun smiled slyly and said: "This is called eating a trench and growing wise, Chen Gong suffered a big loss from me this time, he will start to pay attention to me in his heart, he is still relatively smart, now I give him such an important canal design drawing, how can he not carefully refer to it, in case he is deceived by me again, it is not to lose so much that he will not even have his pants left, haha, I guess he will be studying this." ”

Looking at Yuan Yun with a smug face, Cao Ang could only continue to smile bitterly, now that Xuzhou has been decided, his father left Che Xuan as the history of Xuzhou, and let Chen Gong reinstate his original position, go to guard the Jianghuai area, and become the Guangling Taishou, just to stabilize the people of Xuzhou, let Chen Deng stay, and entrust the political affairs with carte blanche, and now the first thing he did was taken advantage of by Yuan Yun, and I don't know if he will be angry, and run to the court to impeach Yuan Yun.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Yuan Yun again, this brother seems to have a natural hatred for the family, and he doesn't know why?

Not only that, now that Yuan Yundu has become a marquis, he is good, on the construction site of Xudu New Town, he will occasionally go to talk and chat with those coolie prisoners, doesn't he know what status is?

"It's not like a Hou Ye at all." Cao Ang sighed.

Yuan Yun is now thinking about the two wives who have not passed the door at home, and now that his wife has been bullied, this time he must be found, but how to find it, this is a waste of brainpower.

Hearing Cao Ang beside him, he seemed to be chanting his name, so he asked inexplicably, "What else is the matter with Brother Cao Ang?" ”

Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said, "Go and order something delicious, I'm hungry." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, and said unhappily: "On the march at this moment, where can I find you something to eat, let's wait until the evening camp." ”

"I'm an injured person, so I have to have something to do, right?" Cao Ang added.

Yuan Yun still shook his sleeves unhappily, and instantly fell out of a few pieces of beef jerky wrapped in paper.

Cao Ang immediately showed a disgusted expression and said, "This is it again?" I've been tired of eating it for a long time, can I change my tricks? ”

Yuan Yun was so angry that he immediately patted the car board and said: "At the beginning, you ate it in your mouth, and said that even if you eat this thing for the rest of your life, it will be no problem, why do you start to dislike it now?" Besides, Lao Tzu is a miracle doctor who treats your injuries, not a cook. ”

As soon as this sentence was finished, Yuan Yun was endured by Cao Ang, kicked out of the frame, and said loudly: "If you want to eat meat, you can eat fresh, and the jerky will be avoided." ”

Yuan Yun covered his buttocks and was about to complain, when he saw Zhang Liao coming towards him, he immediately smiled, and then arched his hand and said, "General Zhang is auspicious." ”

Zhang Liao was stunned, how could anyone greet him like this? However, on weekdays, I saw that Yuan Yun and Cao Ang were talking so upside down, so I didn't take it seriously, and quickly returned the salute, and then said: "Yuan Hou is also ...... Uh, auspicious, auspicious. ”

Yuan Yun smiled, and then continued: "The prince lost too much blood after being injured, we have to think of some way to make up for him, I don't know if General Zhang is willing to go hunting nearby, there are no people in this place, there must be plenty of wild beasts, if there is General Zhang with us, we will definitely gain a lot." ”

When Zhang Liao heard that he was catching game for Cao Ang to replenish his body, he naturally would not object, but he was now Cao Ang's guard, how could he leave his post without permission?

Zhang Liao was about to refuse, when he saw Yuan Yun suddenly shout at Cao Ang in the frame: "Brother Cao Ang, I will borrow General Zhang to catch fresh meat for you." ”

Soon, Cao Ang replied: "This is very good, when the game is brought back, Mr. Zhang Liao can also try Yuan Hou's craftsmanship." ”

The snow particles on the ground were only a faint layer, but the temperature dropped unusually low, Yuan Yun rode his old horse, and exhaled several clouds of white gas every time he walked.

At this moment, on the way back to Xudu, I have entered a wasteland, this kind of weather to hunt is simply a fool's dream, it is estimated that if the beasts have wisdom, they will definitely laugh at this group of stupid humans, they are all sleeping, who is in the mood to be your prey?

Zhang Liao accompanied Yuan Yun out of a distance, and guessed that this Yuan Hou probably had something to say to him alone, so he brought out the stupid excuse of hunting.

Now that he had left the Gunpowder Army Brigade a few hundred steps, Zhang Liao asked directly, "Is there anything Yuan Hou needs to ask?" ”

Yuan Yun was amazed by Zhang Liao's cleverness, this kind of Confucian general who has read books is really not comparable to Xu Chu's mallet.

After secretly praising it, Yuan Yun arched his hand and said: "Lu Bu died a little abruptly, so Ben Hou has always had a question. ”

Zhang Liao didn't answer, but waited for this Hou Ye to continue to say the following, but he was a little curious, why did he talk about Lu Bu at this time, and said that he died abruptly, if it wasn't for you, the Hou Ye, who was so powerful and chased Lu Bu to escape, he would not have died so rashly.

Yuan Yun then asked, "I wonder if General Zhang knows if Lu Bu has any martial arts secrets left?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Shi Shen and Xiao Liu behind Yuan Yun almost fell off the horse, they were very familiar with the vocabulary of martial arts cheats, when they first followed Yuan Yun, they were so disgusted by this question that they vomited, and they didn't want their little lord to start getting sick again today.

Zhang Liao was stunned for a long time and didn't understand what Yuan Yun was talking about? After a long time, he asked in confusion: "Why why martial arts cheats?" ”

Yuan Yun looked at Zhang Liao's reaction and knew that there was no play, he had always wanted to learn light skills, but Shi Shen's mallet had always refused to teach, and said that he was too old to learn, and he didn't succeed in learning, damn, does Lao Tzu need Dacheng? Lao Tzu can meet as long as he can fly over a low wall, and this requirement does not meet the requirements of this marquis, who is unlucky.

"It's okay, since General Zhang doesn't know, there's no point in asking again." After speaking, Yuan Yun slowed down the horse's speed a bit, and then asked, "I heard that there is a beauty named Diao Chan next to Lu Bu before, why didn't I see it this time?" ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he changed his face with some embarrassment, although after the enemy was eliminated, everything he had could be used as trophies, but daring to be a female dependant was also a relatively obscure thing, this Hou Ye was good, and asked directly in front of him, you know, the two of them are followed by many entourages.

Shi Shen and Xiao Liu didn't think much about this, because they knew very well that their little lord was not lustful, otherwise those beautiful ladies in the back house of the Yuan Mansion would have been murdered a long time ago, not to mention that there is a peerless person like Liu Yiyi, and now it is not still a complete match.

Zhang Liao thought for a moment before replying: "I heard before that Diao Chan had already left with his only maid before the loss of Xuzhou City, and he walked very quickly, and basically no one had time to react. ”

Yuan Yun sighed, it seems that this eternal mystery still can't be solved, and he originally hoped to find out the whereabouts of this stunning person from Zhang Liao, so as to solve a big mystery in his heart, but at this moment, it seems that he is thinking too much.

Neither question was answered, so Yuan Yun changed the topic and said, "Does General Zhang believe in ghosts and gods?" How would a hero like you react when he saw a ghost? ”

Zhang Liao is now completely confused, is this Hou Ye a two-hundred-and-five? None of the questions asked were normal, they smacked of nonsense.

I've never seen ghosts or gods, but today I only see one who likes ghosts. It's just that this sentence can't be said, so Zhang Liao still replied cautiously: "Our generals have killed a lot of people on the battlefield, so their own housekeeping weapons can drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts. ”

Yuan Yun's face was immediately happy, it was enough to have this answer, when he turned around and tossed Cao Ren, if he dared to take out his weapon, Lao Tzu would not mind giving him and taking it away.

By the way, what weapon did Cao Ren make?

Yuan Yuncai searched in his mind, and immediately became troubled again, damn, this Cao Ren can use almost any weapon, and there is no record of what he makes.

Some people say that he is skilled in spears, some people say that he is skilled in weapons such as big knives and bows and arrows, and it will be lively now, if Cao Ren's house is haunted, if he really wants to move so many weapons out of the town house, it will be difficult for Lao Tzu to carry them.

Zhang Liao is now completely confused, this little marquis's face is changing now, and he can't guess what the other party is thinking? I only heard that this young Hou Ye was a child of an immortal before, but in recent days, he has completely figured out that he is a famous disciple of Zuo Ci, so I feel calm in my heart when I think about it, the child of an immortal, there is always something inexplicable.

At this time, he suddenly saw two mountain rabbits popping out of a pile of wild grass, Zhang Liao immediately shouted, galloped out on horseback, and kept running away with the rabbits.

Yuan Yun was stunned, how can this way of catching rabbits, at least he shouldn't shout, now it's okay, he still has to work hard to chase it, it's unlucky.

How did he know that Zhang Liao just deliberately shouted, and then chased the general out, the main purpose was to get rid of Yuan Yun, the two hundred and five marquis, so as not to be asked a few more inexplicable questions, then it is estimated that he will either be driven crazy or asked stupidly.

Zhang Liao obviously didn't want either option, so he thanked God for giving him a chance to get out and chased him out immediately, without any hesitation at all.
