Yuan Yun flicked the raindrops that fell on his body, and then pushed the paper umbrella that Zhen Mi held high to her side, at this moment the streets of Yecheng were full of running peddlers and pawns, and an inadvertent heavy rain made everything in this market come alive.

Zhen Mi saw Yuan Yun pushing the paper umbrella to her, but she still refused to give up and started to block the rain for this husband on her toes, although it was quite uncomfortable to maintain this position, but her face was full of tenderness and sweetness.

Zhen Mi had imagined a long time ago that one day she could walk on the avenue of Yecheng with Yuan Yun, at that time in her heart, the most prosperous thing in the world was Yecheng, and now although the concept has changed, she still enjoys this two-person world very much, so she leaned closer to Yuan Yun's side.

Yuan Yun saw Zhen Mi like this, she could only shake her head and smile bitterly, half of this beauty's shoulders were wet, and she was happy to hold the paper umbrella over, obviously the other party enjoyed the process of giving her beloved Lang Jun an umbrella like a gentle concubine.

Yuan Yun thought of this, stretched out his arms, and then hugged Zhen Mi's fragrant shoulder, which made this lovely person a little overwhelmed, after all, even if it was relatively open in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were still very few people who showed affection on the street.

Yuan Yun looked at Zhen Mi with a big red face, but he didn't want to dodge, and immediately felt a little happy, so he continued to shuttle around the market with such a swagger.

"Recently, the surrounding area of Yecheng has not been peaceful, some bandits are looting everywhere, and the government can't catch people, which is really annoying."

"You can't say that, those who don't know if it's really bandits, don't you see that they only kill those who are officials?"

"I've heard that the people who have died recently are some officials, and some children of big clans."

"Then it's not a bandit, it's a thief, right?"

Yuan Yun heard the unintentional discussion from the street corner, he could only shake his head and sigh, before he planned to use these bandits to report some personal grievances, but he thought so, Cao Cao also thought so, and now many officials in the court and China who followed them to Yecheng have been hit to varying degrees, some were unlucky to be killed by themselves, and some were children of the family, in short, they were somewhat at odds with Cao Cao.

Now Yuan Yun knows with his ass that Cao Cao is purging dissidents, or using his Yuan Yun's methods, unlucky, this matter is estimated to be over, otherwise I really don't know how many people will die.

Now although Liu Xie is just a puppet, but there are still a lot of people who are willing to be loyal to the Han family, even if Cao Cao is in power, there are some places that need to be forbearing, and he must still be the emperor of the Han family at the moment, so naturally some people will stand on the opposite side, some of these people are not afraid of death, and some are driven by interests, in short, many of Cao Cao's decisions can still be stifled.

These people are not only in the court, but even in Cao Cao's staff team, there are also many people who regard themselves as courtiers of the Han family, such as Xun Yu, who will oppose Cao Cao in the future, and the remnants of the edict, and now everyone is acting around Cao Cao on the surface, but in fact, they have done a lot of things that are not conducive to Cao Cao behind the scenes.

Before the gunpowder army defeated Yecheng, in Yuan Shao's old mansion turned out a lot of letters exchanged with the ministers of the court, the number of these people is still very large, even if Cao Cao is decisive, but still endured, if all these old officials are really killed, it is estimated that even if it is a big court, there are few people left in the hall of the Son of Heaven to stand.

Now Cao Cao's methods are much more lofty than the one played by Yuan Yun, just by using these 3,000 anti-thieves, he can see who is in favor of him and who is against him, so those who oppose are either dead now, or they no longer oppose the Northern Expedition.

The prosperity of the wells in Yecheng City is obviously much worse than that of Luoyang, which is also inevitable, and there has been a shortage of soldiers recently, so naturally many businessmen are reluctant to come here, so it is normal to be depressed.

It's just that when everyone began to withdraw from Yecheng's commerce, Guo Jia suddenly jumped out and asked to cooperate with Yuan Yun, and then began to explore ore in the four northern states, as for the biggest reason for Yuan Yun to cooperate with him, Guo Jia knew that he almost didn't know the emerging treasure mines except for the traditional minerals, and he didn't see Yuan Yun even limestone, which was a useless thing, and it became a precious resource.

For Guo Jia's request, Yuan Yun only nodded, after all, if the Yuan family opened their own mines in the north, they would definitely encounter a lot of resistance, and now that there is a traditional mining family like the Guo family to join, naturally many things will be much more convenient.

A map full of mineral coordinates has now reached Guo Jia's hands, although he doesn't understand why the thing called oil is more important than copper ore, but he still has no objection to Yuan Yun's development order.

The first thing was to find an oil field near the North Sea, for which Guo Jia had assigned the map to some of the most skilled old miners in the clan, and told them to work on this day and night, but he himself still did not leave Yecheng.

Yuan Yun knew that Guo Jia was still staying in Yecheng, but he sighed deeply, originally he hoped that the minerals marked on the map could attract Guo Jia to look for them in person, so that this wise man of the ages could avoid the fact that Guo Jia would die in this Northern Expedition in the historical record.

Now that the abacus has failed, Yuan Yun can only start to think of some other ways, these days he often goes to Guo Jia's mansion, but this product is really very tired, every time he goes, he doesn't meet it, and today's schedule can only be changed to go shopping with Zhen Mi in the end.

"Lord, we've all visited four pharmacies, why are you buying so many medicinal herbs?" After Shi Shen followed Yuan Yun and his wife for a long time, he finally asked the question in his heart.

Yuan Yun looked up at the frame he was following, and sighed again in his heart, many of these medicinal materials are to prevent diarrhea and other problems, and some are to go to the heat to cool off, all of which are prepared for the annoying Guo Jia.

It's just that I'm so attentive to preparing for that annoying smart person, but the other party doesn't know at all, and it feels like I'm doing useless work, but even if I'm very unhappy, the medicinal materials that should be prepared still have to be prepared, and after the Northern Expedition, I have to bring my own fairy medical kit, Guo Jia must not die on the road, and there are still a lot of things he needs to do in the future.

Especially when the other party is so young, after Cao Ang inherits everything from Cao Cao, Guo Jia will inevitably become a mainstay.

"I can't die, Lao Tzu will be a cow and a horse for decades." While Yuan Yun was chattering, he continued to take Zhen Mi to the next pharmacy.

A few people entered the pharmacy, and they saw a very dirty person, this person was being driven out by the owner of the pharmacy, and I don't know what mistake he made, in short, the boss's face was very ugly.

Yuan Yun frowned, he didn't have a good impression of the boss of the pharmacy who looked down on people at all, if you have money, you will treat others, and if you don't have money, let them fend for themselves, isn't this the bullshit hospital of those bastards in later generations?

"Stop!" Yuan Yun just exhaled lightly, and Shi Shen immediately stepped forward, and then stopped the pharmacy owner.

The owner of the pharmacy was stunned, although he didn't know who the young man in front of him was, but seeing that he was with a few guards, and there was a heavenly immortal beside him, he immediately guessed that the other party's status was not low, so he hurriedly took a half step back, and then saluted to the ground, and then said with a smile: "This noble man is here to buy medicine?" ”

Yuan Yun glanced at the beggar-like figure, and then asked the owner of the pharmacy, "Why did you drive this person away?" ”

As soon as the pharmacy owner heard Yuan Yun ask, he immediately pointed to the beggar and said: "This person is a liar, but it's not the little second child who bullies him but the poor, if he comes to ask for medical treatment, the little second child will show him even if he doesn't charge money, but he is here to sell medicine, and he is selling fake medicine, so he was driven away by the little second child." ”

Yuan Yun sighed suspiciously, then turned his head to look at the beggar and said, "You actually peddled fake medicine, do you know that this is a capital crime." ”

The beggar trembled, and immediately shook his hand and said, "What the villain bought is definitely not a fake medicine, it's just that this store doesn't know the goods." ”

Yuan Yun's face was still full of confusion, and after taking a few steps closer, he pointed to a package that the beggar was carrying, and then asked, "All the medicines you said are here?" Then open it up and show me. ”

The beggar nodded right away and began to open the package.

In an instant, the package composed of a book cover and some linen cloth was opened, which attracted Yuan Yun's eyes, damn! The beggar actually packed a package of ginseng, some of which were even a foot long.

In this era, ginseng is not known to too many people, and only a few large families in the north understand its wonderful use, and as for these pharmacies in the market, they don't know what it is very good at.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun stretched out his hand and picked up the package, then looked at the beggar and said, "If the source of these medicinal materials is clear, I will want them all, you just have to set a price." ”

The beggar was stunned and wondered: "The nobles know the value of these ginseng? ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said, "I know some, so you don't have to worry about the price being too high, even if you say how these ginseng came from." ”

The beggar nodded again, and then replied, "It's all the villains who went to the mountains to dig it themselves." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, opened the package in his hand again, and sure enough, he saw that there was still unremoved soil on some ginseng, obviously the other party was not lying, now he was really happy, ginseng is not too much, now since someone will dig these ginseng, then it must be used well.

After pondering, Yuan Yun asked, "What's your name?" ”

The beggar shook his hand again and replied embarrassedly: "The little one doesn't have a surname, the people in the mountains are called the little Anu, and he was also a serf of the Shen family before, and then the head of the family is gone, and our serfs in remote places have no one to take care of, so we can only come to Yecheng for a living, but I still missed the day when the court assigned the farmers in the fields, and now there is no way, so I can only take out some of the ginseng I carry with me and sell it." ”

Yuan Yun looked at Anu with interest, then smiled and said, "Don't you know that even if you are a serf without a family owner, you are still a serf, running around without a household registration, and if you are caught, you will probably be killed." ”

Anu was startled, and immediately knelt down and said: "The little one doesn't know, but I just saw that everyone else came to Yecheng, so I followed, I never had a household registration or anything, I just wanted not to be starved to death, which violated the decree of the imperial court, and the nobles must not expose the small ones." ”

Yuan Yun smiled again, and then shouted to Shi Shen behind him: "Take this person down and take him to the mansion." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun walked out of the pharmacy directly, as for the somewhat panicked pharmacy owner, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, but when the pharmacy owner followed a few steps to the door of the store, he found that Yuan Yun's frame turned out to be the marquis's standard, and then he felt a little wobble in his legs, because he had only heard some time ago that Yuan Hou, who had burned and looted in Yecheng, came to Yecheng again, and the most characteristic of this Hou Ye is that he is young, very young.

Seeing Yuan Yun's frame gradually Yuan Yun, the owner of the pharmacy immediately shouted at the guys in the store: "The store only entertains beggars these days, let's ignore those who give money." ”
