Chapter 66: Cao's Throat
Cao Ang has been a little bored recently, it's not that he has nothing to do, but because the army is about to go on the march, so many things have been suppressed at the same time, and the reason for his boredom is that Yuan Yun, since the last time he vomited Liu Yiyi's small courtyard in the Rouge Building, the two of them haven't seen each other again.

Seeing that the government office in charge of Jinwu was quiet, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, without Yuan Yun's nagging, he was not used to it, and this kid was a staff member he paid for, how could he say that he wouldn't come if he didn't come?
"Lawless boy, hehe." Cao Ang smiled, in the past few months of getting along, he suddenly found that it was really interesting to have Yuan Yun by his side, not only could he learn a lot of things he had never heard of, but also handled the things in the fiefdom properly, this is indeed thanks to Yuan Yun's existence, since this kid is unwilling to harass himself, then let him go.
However, in the past few days, I heard reports from my subordinates, saying that Yuan Yun was digging a lot of soil in the more than 1,000 acres of wasteland, and then built several large reservoirs, constantly pouring the uncultivable soil into it and thinning the mud, for these projects, he even transferred the manpower to build the workshop, I really don't know what he is doing?
Seeing that it was still early, Cao Ang decided to go to those wastelands to have a look, Yuan Yun is always very surprised, maybe this kid is making some powerful things now, if it is a killing weapon like gunpowder, then he doesn't mind moving it to the river island military village immediately, anyway, he doesn't have to be polite with Yuan Yun, although it is good to rob him, Xu Du seems to be the only one who has this privilege, laughing.
There are now four or five hundred people gathered in the eastern suburbs of Xudu, and they are constantly building large reservoirs, and preparing to bring in the tributaries of the Yinghe River on one side, these people are divided into two groups, one group is building a large pool, and the other group is desperately setting up mines and digging in the wasteland, and they are very busy.
Cao Ang came directly to Yuan Yun's temporary camp tent under the leadership of several attendants, Yuan Yun was looking at the low table in the tent with his head down at the moment, and a large yellow paper was spread out on the low table, this kind of thing called paper Cao Ang knew, and knew that it was very precious, but he didn't know where Yuan Yun got it, and the quality of this paper was better than what he had seen before, not only thick, but also very tight, which was very suitable for writing on it with something called 'charcoal'.
"You can also send me some of these papers, and it is very troublesome to write on those bamboo slips every day." After Cao Ang finished speaking, he touched the papers with his hand again, feeling very satisfied.
Yuan Yun rolled his eyes directly, and then said angrily: "Give money, otherwise don't talk about it, those people in my family are now busy with this paper every day, which costs a lot of money." ”
Cao Ang laughed and said: "I know that Brother Yun, you stingy ghost will not be so generous, and I won't give you money, I promised to divide a piece of land in my fiefdom for you, and I have let people measure it, it is the most fertile land, your sister will be happy when she sees it, and I will send someone to send the title deed to your family when I turn around." ”
Yuan Yun heard Cao Ang say this, his eyes showed a deep emotion, he shook his head and smiled: "It seems that it is destined to be eaten by you Cao Ang for a lifetime, but forget about your land, what is the most fertile land, how can it be more beautiful than my land, don't don't, you keep it and plant it slowly, Tu Baozi." ”
"Oh, don't get the benefits and sell well, and you don't need money to give it to you, why is it not worth as much as your wasteland? You should give me a good talk. Cao Ang wasn't angry, he just hadn't joked about Yuan Yun for a few days, and he must seize the opportunity to have a good time at this moment.
Yuan Yun also ignored Cao Ang, and immediately ordered Shi Shen, who was guarding the camp tent, to go out and get something. Shi Shen's face was full of excitement, and after a sigh, he hurriedly ran, as if to obtain some kind of pearl agate-like treasure. Just as Cao Ang was wondering Shi Shen's reaction, he had already seen the other party take out a bag from the sack piled up as high as a hill outside the camp tent.
Shi Shen carried the sack into the tent, and then put it on the ground, it seemed that because it was too casual, the sack was heavy when it landed, and the mouth of the sack broke open an inch, and immediately a pile of white sand-like things flowed out, making it all over the ground.
Yuan Yun glared at Shi Shen fiercely, knowing that this kid was doing it on purpose, so that he could show off in front of Cao Ang.
Cao Ang had already approached those white grains of sand at this moment, and before he could squat down to see clearly, he was already taken aback, quickly dipped some on his fingers, and then put it in his mouth and tasted it, and in a moment his body shook excitedly, and his surprised expression also froze on his face, this is fucking table salt!
Taking his fingers out of his mouth, Cao Ang involuntarily glanced at the sacks piled up into a hill outside the camp tent, and finally screamed: "Brother Yun, are these all table salt?" ”
Yuan Yun smiled evilly, looked at Cao Ang like a fool and said, "Do you believe it when I said that the sack was filled with mud?" ”
Cao Ang immediately shook his head, Yuan Yun is definitely not a person who does boring things, there will be an explanation for all his actions, and now Cao Ang finally understands why he hasn't seen the other party's figure for the past ten days, this guy is actually making salt. Without a trace of hesitation, Cao Ang immediately rushed outside the tent, and then cut several pockets with his sword in an instant, and the white salt was sprinkled all over the ground.
"Hey, hey, you're a tease sent by the monkeys, aren't you? How are you going to let me clean up after you cut so many pockets? After Yuan Yun finished muttering, he confiscated the sword in Cao Ang's hand, and even the scabbard was taken off Cao Ang's waist together, and he felt safer after putting the sword into the sheath.
Cao Ang still cared about Yuan Yun squeezing himself at the moment, he had already bent down to take a closer look, and only laughed out loud for a long time, and then walked back to the camp with his hands dancing, he wanted to see the drawings that Yuan Yun put on the low table, that must be the secret of the immortal family's salt creation out of thin air. Yuan Yun followed behind him and did not stop him, just looked at Cao Ang with a look of surprise and stared at the drawings on the low table with a look of surprise.
After a few incense sticks, Yuan Yun suddenly asked, "Can Brother Cao Ang understand?" ”
Cao Ang frowned and shook his head, looking very confused, the drawings were all about the construction of the reservoir, and then there were some inexplicable symbols, it was estimated that only Yuan Yun could understand it in this world, so he could only shake his head and say that he didn't know, but even if he couldn't understand it, he was still crazy excited in his heart, so that his fingers were constantly shaking, these are real table salt, which is equivalent to Cao's throat.
"And you've been staring at it for so long? What a waste of time, come on, come on, if the fool begs me, I'll tell you a thing or two, oops! You let me down, let me down, don't just carry me around if you can't say it, okay, okay, I'll admit defeat, tell you all that, let me down quickly! Yuan Yun was chattering, and suddenly Cao Ang grabbed his clothes and picked them up, and as soon as his feet left the ground, he began to beg for mercy loudly.
Cao Ang was very satisfied and put Yuan Yun back on the ground, and then sat down on the soft collapse in the camp tent, putting on an expression of listening to the king. Although Yuan Yun was angry, he also knew very well that although Cao Ang was young, his force value was definitely not low, and he had not fought once or twice in the army, and if he really wanted to do something with him, he would definitely be beaten into a pig's head.
"My more than 1,000 acres of wasteland contains a large number of salt mines, which are what you describe as poisonous salt, the reason why people ate this poisonous salt in the past will cause diarrhea and even poisoning to death, just because they will not remove or neutralize the toxins in these salt mines, and now I have a way to turn all these salt mines into edible safe salt, so you Cao no longer have to worry about the lack of salt in the future, am I not great?" After saying this, Yuan Yun admired Cao Ang's surprised expression again, and then taught Cao Ang the method of neutralizing salt toxins, and even prepared a booklet with a detailed record of the method.
Cao Ang quickly put the booklet into his arms, patted his chest uneasily, and then frowned and asked, "What are these salt mine Yun brothers going to do?" ”
Yuan Yun rolled his eyes again, and then spread his hands and said, "What else can I do?" I asked you for the official documents for selling salt before, but I didn't expect this salt mine to be so huge, and if the things related to the lifeblood of the country were put in my hands, it was estimated that my life would not be as easy as it is now, so I decided to hand it over, all of it, whether it was the method of making salt or the land containing salt mines. ”
Cao Ang looked at Yuan Yun's expression that was not fake at all, and suddenly nodded and smiled: "I said before that Brother Yun sometimes looks like an adult uncle, and now I still think like this, I have a headache about this kind of guilty thing, how to tell you, but you can understand it all yourself, and even smarter than I expected, you come to tell me, are you a hundred-year-old uncle, and then borrowed this small body to return the soul?" Ha ha. ”
Yuan Yun's heart trembled violently, and he decided that he would have to pretend to be a pig honestly in the future, otherwise it would be too dangerous, and a bad one would be like those witches in the Dark Ages in Europe, who were tied to a pillar and burned red.
"But Brother Yun doesn't have to be too aggrieved, after all, these lands are yours, and the method of making salt is also yours, so our Cao family will definitely compensate you, and I will tell my father that I should give you thirty percent of the profits generated by these salts." Cao Ang suddenly added solemnly.
Yuan Yun laughed, and his mood immediately became active from the trouble of the witch being burned, he only thought that there might be a profit return, but this time it became two percent, oops, how embarrassing is this? What a shame, a lot of money at once, and then you will become a nouveau riche in the future.
Cao Ang ignored the shameless look in Yuan Yun's eyes, and suddenly thought of another question, so his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "There is such a big salt field here, I want to see how the He family ends?" Before, because we could only rely on the He family to sell salt to meet the consumption in the territory, but now the heavens have reduced it to us, and it has given us such a large salt mine to use the Cao family, hum, He family, He family, wait for me to find the door, you are good-looking! ”
Yuan Yun looked at Cao Ang's cold eyes, and suddenly his liver trembled again, it seems that the tiger's son is about to start eating people, and it is clear what will happen to the He family, but this is not the result Yuan Yun wants, the so-called gentleman will take revenge, in addition to the He family, there are also a bunch of smart bastards who have to settle the accounts, so Yuan Yun hurriedly said: "As for the He family, I think it's better for Brother Cao Ang not to interfere, I estimate that Guo Jiajun must have a detailed plan, in case you suddenly intervene and affect the overall situation, it will not be good, Why don't I give you the title deed here now, and then you will give the book of making salt and the title deed to your father, and then your father will make the decision, and I believe that with their ability it will be handled more perfectly. ”
Cao Ang thought for a moment before nodding and said: "That's true, if I rashly insert this matter, I am afraid that other branches will arise, according to what Brother Yun said, I will hand over these things to my father, and then let Guo Jia and them deal with the aftermath." ”
"Good." Yuan Yun was proud in his heart at the moment, hum, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao dared to scold Lao Tzu for being a fool in front of so many people, how could he let Lao Tzu mix in the court in the future? Now let's see who's the idiot?
"By the way, Brother Yun?" Cao Ang suddenly asked again.
"What's the matter with Brother Cao Ang?"
"You just took my sword, is it time to give it back to me? Hey? Why is it already tied around your waist? ”
