Chapter Twenty-Nine: Yecheng Matters
Looking at Cao Chong's smug face, Yuan Yun felt that the person in front of him was still a child, if he could be caught so easily, then the other party would not be so powerful, and he came up with the idea of using fake account books, and the other party could expose it, and pass it on to Li Ji and let her go to the big head, which is enough to prove that the other party is definitely not a fool.
Cao Chong laughed for a while, and even swaggered around, and finally looked at Yuan Yun with his head up: "It's Wang Lang's old guy, I suspected Cao Cheng, Cao Quan, and Cao Jing before that the money of the three of them came from, so I specially sent my personal guards to keep an eye on it, and I really saw it today, that Cao Cheng went to the East Market of Yecheng, which belongs to the gathering place of the untouchables, and Cao Cheng has always only gone to the West Market, so my guards followed him with special care, and I saw him contact with Wang Langjia's shopkeeper, and the other party also sent a frame, Looking at the traces of the wheel prints, the contents are really not light. ”
Yuan Yun listened to Cao Chong's smug words, and immediately asked, "If Xiao Chong came to do such a secret thing, would he send the shopkeeper next to him to deliver the money in person?" ”
Cao Chong was stunned, shook his head and said, "I'm not that stupid. ”
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Then you think the other party is stupid?" If you can come up with the idea of using the black account book to deal with me, and start from Qing Bao'er, this is a big detour, and the arrangement in the middle must be very cautious, and a little mistake will become a big problem, so the person who can arrange such a thing will be a fool? ”
The smug look on Cao Chong's face finally retreated, and after taking a step closer, he immediately asked, "Brother-in-law, are you saying that Wang Lang is not the person behind the scenes?" ”
Yuan Yun shook his head and said, "Wang Lang must have been involved in this matter, but there are still people behind him, and now that he knows the existence of this old thing, those people behind him are about to come out." ”
"Cao Ren!" Cao Chong said.
Yuan Yun nodded and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, and Sima Yi must also be one of the instigators." ”
Cao Chong's brows furrowed a little tighter at this time, and said, "Brother Cao Pi wants to sit in his father's position so much?" Why do you want to fight with Brother Cao Ang, it's really worth the loss, I heard that Brother Cao Pi is on Cao Ren's side, frowning every day, and now Aunt Bian is in Yecheng, but he insists on refusing to come, he must stay in Cao Mansion in Xudu, and now he seems to be the master there, and I don't know what is the joy of living like this? ”
Yuan Yun sighed and said, "Cao Pi has been cultivated with ambition now, and he will not die until he fails, so even if he is not happy now, he will endure it." ”
After speaking, Yuan Yun glanced at Xiao Cao Chong, who was still frowning, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "But people don't feel the pain of the process if they have a goal, so don't look at your brother Cao Pi rarely smiles now, he guesses that he is enjoying it now." ”
Cao Chong instantly relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "What my brother-in-law said is that just like me and Xiao Ai, we both have a goal, so we won't feel that the process is boring, otherwise I will learn so many things in a day, where can I stand it." ”
Then the two of them talked and laughed, and went to the kitchen with the same heart, Yuan Yun was ready to stretch his hands and feet and get some authentic cakes, while Cao Chong swallowed his saliva and was ready to taste the most authentic cakes in Yuan's mansion.
……
"We will return to Luoyang in two days, Senior Sister Diao Chan will be with us this time, her big ship is coming from Beihai, we will go east to the beach first, and then take a boat all the way back to Luoyang." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he leaned comfortably in the recliner.
Zhen Mi was stunned when she heard this, and said suspiciously: "Isn't Yuan Lang going to investigate the matter on Li Ji's side?" Is it just that, our Qingbaoer is so miserable to deceive people, how can this revenge be done? ”
Yuan Yun squinted at Zhen Mi, this beauty's stinginess has never changed, but now it is more intense, as long as she feels that others are sorry for her, she must always think about it.
Thinking like this, Liu Yiyi's appearance was drawn in his mind, and now the personalities of these two people are becoming more and more similar, and I don't know if it's because of the quarrel all day long, and as a result, even the personality of the fight has begun to assimilate.
"The revenge must be avenged, but the enemy is not in Yecheng, but in Xudu, this matter is waiting for me to return to Luoyang, and I am slowly calculating with it." Yuan Yun explained, and then pointed to the table in the distance of the recliner.
Zhen Mi skillfully brought a cup of tea from the table, and saw that Yuan Yun drank it comfortably, before continuing: "Leaving the north so soon, the concubine also said that she would return to her parents' house again, it seems that there is no chance." ”
Yuan Yun said with a smile: "You want to go back naturally a lot of time, now the river on this side of Yecheng is under construction, and it will be opened in less than two years, and then you will take a big boat back to your mother's house, and it will take a month at most to go back and forth." ”
Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "The concubine is married to Yuan Lang, how can she always think about her mother's family, if you keep running to your mother's house, it will be strange if you don't give people irresponsible remarks." ”
Yuan Yun continued to smile and continued: "Pass your own shoes, go your own way, what others want to say, just let them say it, we can be comfortable and happy, I have known me for so long, when did I make you feel that you are an old stubborn, this kind of thing will be a matter of course, how can you be talked about?" ”
Zhen Mi's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Really? ”
Yuan Yun shook his head, hugged Zhen Mi beside him on the recliner, and then smiled: "When did I lie to you?" ”
"Why not? At the beginning, you still said that you were called a throat ......" Zhen Mi had already laughed sweetly before she finished speaking, she must have remembered the scene when she first met Yuan Yun, and the pain of those little daughters at that time was recalled now, and there was an indescribable enjoyment.
Looking at Zhen Mi with a flushed face in her arms, she was as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, this kind of beauty in ancient costumes, but she couldn't find it anywhere in the future, which made Yuan Yun interested, and her whole body began to move.
When Zhen Mi saw Yuan Yun's expression, where was there any reason that she didn't understand, so her face became even more ruddy, and the drama of the Spring Palace in this room began.
After Cao Cao was told of the decision to return to Luoyang, Cao Cao only lightly issued the paperwork, and specially instructed Yuan Yun that Luoyang must order 500,000 canned meat in Yecheng.
And this kind of thing that obviously seems to be blackmailed will naturally cause the loyal Shi Shen to be unhappy, but after asking Yuan Yun, he immediately turned his face, and shamelessly looked for the shopkeeper of the cannery, and also ordered 20,000 yuan of canned meat.
Xiaoliu has never been very cold about making money and running a business, so after accompanying Shi Shen to the canning factory, he was very puzzled, because he really couldn't understand why Shi Shen wanted to order 20,000 canned meat, this kind of thing can be eaten once or twice, and it will be a crime to eat it for a long time.
Shi Shen rode on horseback, looked at Xiao Liu's expression, and suddenly asked mysteriously: "When did you see the lord make a loss-making deal?" ”
Xiao Liu was stunned, shook his head decisively, and said: "It's really not, but this time it was forced by Cao Sikong, and the lord can only admit it even if he suffers a loss." ”
Shi Shen smiled and said: "No, no, no, I asked the lord before, and the lord said that if these canned meat arrive in Luoyang, they can be sold to the Western Regions immediately, and the canned food is very suitable for preservation, and no matter how far it is transported, it can be guaranteed not to be bad, but the most expensive thing is not the meat in the can, but the iron ...... that encapsulate the canned food."
Xiao Liu didn't wait for Shi Shen to finish speaking, then interrupted: "Isn't the canned food sealed in a clay pot?" ”
Shi Shen tilted his mouth and said in a low voice: "The lid of the clay pot is sealed with iron sheets, these wood and other things can be sealed and cannot be killed, so this layer of iron sheets is valuable, we are now because of the output of steel, so iron is no longer precious, but Cao Sikong strictly ordered that iron materials should not be sold, otherwise Luoyang side alone this business, you can manage the food and clothing of the whole city."
Now that we have canned food, we can bypass this rule, and now that there are wars in the Western Regions, the most lacking thing is iron, as long as they dissolve the lid of the can, they can cast a lot of things, so this can must be very popular over there, and we can make a lot of money. ”
When Xiao Liu heard this, he immediately grabbed the reins of the horse, and then said, "Let's go back to the canning factory again." ”
Shi Shen frowned and said, "Did you leave something over there?" ”
Xiao Liu shook his head and said, "I also have to order 20,000 cans, otherwise when I go home, the person at home will say that I have no brains." ”
Shi Shen immediately laughed when he heard this, and then slapped his horse and drove away with Xiao Liu.
Two days later, the gunpowder army was finished, and then began to march towards the east coast, at this time the team Li everyone was proud, they fought hard with the Karasuma people, returned to Yecheng but received special treatment, this time not only Cao Cao issued the highest military merit reward, but more powerful is that as long as other soldiers see the gunpowder army, they will take the initiative to salute and say hello, just treat them as the most fierce soldiers, this kind of vanity can not be satisfied anywhere.
On the way back, Yuan Yun received Cao Ang's letter again, and now he has returned to Luoyang in triumph, the gunpowder army only left 5,000 men and horses in Xiliang, stationed in Jincheng, which is the hub of east-west transportation, only in the hands of his own people, can he control the situation in the entire Xiliang, and can also firmly watch Han Sui and Ma Chao.
Cao Ang didn't mention much about the war in Xiliang in the letter, but spent a lot of time talking about Luoyang, after this expedition that lasted almost a year, Luoyang completely underwent earth-shaking changes in the hands of Zhuge Liang, and the government was not only optimized more quickly, but the operation of all workshops also went to a higher level.
Jia Xu even praised Zhuge Liang as a god.
Yuan Yun looked at Cao Angyang's praise for Zhuge Liang, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled, because no one knew better than him Yuan Yun that Zhuge Liang's mastery of internal affairs, the historical Shu land, after so many Northern Expeditions, still did not collapse, a large part of it is Zhuge Liang's grasp of internal affairs, so that it can always protect the lives of the locals, and there has been no chaos.
After reading the letter, Yuan Yun decided to go to the frame to ride a horse, because now he is in a very comfortable mood, and he always feels that something is wrong if he doesn't run wild.
But just after saying goodbye to Cao Qinghe and Zhen Mi to the outside of the carriage, he saw Xu You poking his head out of his frame, and then frowned and said: "I was about to look for Yuan Hou, now that I have met him, it is better for Yuan Hou to come to the old man's frame to talk about it, I just received a piece of news that is not very good." ”
