One evening, Yuan Yun only felt that he had experienced countless things, first went to Bian's place to sit down, and this time he was accompanied by Cao Qinghe, so Bian's did not ask too much, but only mentioned the matter of the Western Regions Business Road again, and as for the dividends of those canned food processing factories in Yecheng, they didn't mention it at all, as if it hadn't happened at all.

Now the canning factory in Yecheng has a large scale, but there is a shortage of manpower, which also makes Yuan Yun very proud, before tens of thousands of Han slaves were rescued from Karasuma, he was sent to Luoyang as soon as possible, if it is half a beat slower, it is estimated that these people will now be sent to the canning factory by Bian.

"Your senior sister Diao Chan's freight business is doing well, I see her cargo ships, but they travel all over the world." After Bian finished speaking, he took the warm tea brewed by Yuan Yungang.

Yuan Yun was unhappy for a while, the dividends of the canning factory were directly skipped, and now he started the idea of a sable cargo ship, it is estimated that the recent triumph of the army, the canning factory finally has a surplus of canned food to sell, so he wants to spread it to all parts of the world, so it is naturally the fastest choice of water transportation.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun nodded and said: "The Wang family does have a lot of merchant ships, and the shipping lanes are also very rich, if Aunt Bian has the heart to cooperate with them, I will naturally match them." ”

Bian frowned slightly, seeing that Yuan Yun did not let go, knowing that there was nothing cheap to take advantage of this business, but with the canning factory to suppress it, Cao Fu's income did not have to worry about it at all, and it seemed a little too much to oppress the son-in-law in front of him again.

With a smile, Bian said heartily: "Since this is the case, then rent it according to the rules of the Wang family's merchant ships, but don't expect the price to be too outrageous, Cao's mansion is very poor, you Cao Sikong has a little spare money, all of which are subsidized by the imperial court, and recently you have to prepare for the construction of the palace, but there is really no extra money at all." ”

Cao Qinghe, who was waiting on the side, was stunned when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Build a palace? What palace? ”

Bian's face did not change at all, but he glanced at Yuan Yun meaningfully.

Yuan Yun was also stunned for a moment at first, and then he understood in an instant, if he can be a palace, then in addition to the Son of Heaven, he is the king, it seems that after Cao Cao defeated Karasuma again, he has been so angry recently that he finally thought about making himself the king.

And now that Bian said it so unobscurely, the purpose couldn't be clearer, that is, to ask for money to be funded.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Yecheng built a palace, Brother Cao Ang naturally has to support it, and now that the construction of Luoyang is gradually slowing down, it is possible to send some craftsmen over, how does Aunt Bian think this?" ”

"Cement, steel, these things are indispensable." Bian hurriedly added.

Yuan Yun nodded again and said, "Naturally, there will be no less, but the scale of this palace, can there be a design plan now?" ”

Bian snorted and said, "Everyone knows that our son-in-law of Cao Mansion is the best at workmanship, don't I need to let it go, and I still have to invite some idlers?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth were crooked, and he could only continue to nod and say: "Yes, yes, I'll get the design drawings out when I go back, but Aunt Bian always has to have an area plan, right?" How else do you know how much cement and steel you have to transport? ”

Bian Shi didn't continue to talk about cement and steel at this time, but stared at Yuan Yun in some surprise, and then asked, "Are you not surprised at all about this?" Regarding Cao Sikong's preparation to become king, it is only an intention at present, but no one knows, how do you feel as if you have known it a long time ago. ”

Yuan Yun chuckled in his heart, scolding himself for negligence, Cao Cao's title to the king, he naturally regarded it as something that had happened, so he would not rush to be surprised and surprised, but for the parties in this era, it was indeed very shocking, after all, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had already made it clear that he would never be crowned a king with a different surname, and Cao Cao was planning to break Liu's dead rule.

Thinking about it like this, I can't help but be stunned, Cao Cao was very interested in changing the old customs of the imperial court, and when he revised the division of military merits, he even killed several ministers, even Kong Rong, a descendant of Confucius, because of that incident, can only retire at home, and now I think about it before and after, and find that Cao Cao seems to have started premeditating very early.

"Why did Aunt Bian ask so? I think Cao Sikong's exploits, it's normal to be crowned a king, what's so surprising about this? Yuan Yun prevaricated, but there was no change on his face, which instantly made Bian's half believe.

Seeing that Yuan Yun had agreed to supply the construction of the Yecheng Palace from Luoyang, the Bian family also put down half of his thoughts, and soon seemed to remember something again, so he asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with Cao Chong recently?" I rarely went to play with Li Ji's three children before, but now I have changed my temperament and often hang out with a few people. ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "They are all young men from Cao Mansion, and it is normal for them to like to play together, right?" ”

Bian shook his head and said: "It's not normal, Cao Chong didn't like Li Ji very much before, because Li Ji once slandered his mother behind his back, and now this change is really unexpected, not only that, Cao Chong now says good things about the three brothers when he meets people, but it makes the status of these three brothers rise sharply now, isn't it strange?"

Yuan Yun, come and tell me, what is Cao Chong planning to do? He has been with you in Luoyang, you should know him best, and when Cao Chong was by your side, he made a lot of money, and now the money he can embezzle is so huge that I am starting to be surprised, you know that he took Li Ji's three children to play outside, and sometimes it costs more than a thousand a day, which is really reassuring. ”

After Yuan Yun heard the news, he could only smile bitterly in his heart, and now he has almost guessed what Cao Chong is planning, that is, to let him die, he must first make him crazy, Cao Cheng, Cao Cheng, and Cao Jing were very shypies before, and now they are so praised by Cao Chong, it is estimated that they will soon not know how high the sky is, once they break into a catastrophe, it is estimated that they will really never be able to turn over.

Looking at the confused Bian family in front of him, Yuan Yun still chose to be silent, he thought that Cao Chong was helping Yuan Qing, but now it seems that he is mostly taking revenge, that is, for the fact that he was humiliated before.

At this moment, if Cao Chong is exposed, I always feel a little sorry for this little guy, so I can only slowly persuade him after I go back, but this matter still has to be concealed from the Bian family.

Bian saw that Yuan Yun couldn't say why for a long time, so he didn't ask anymore, but at this time, he saw Yuan Qing coming back from outside the hospital, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and then ordered his subordinates to prepare some towels and personally wipe Yuan Qing, who was full of sweat

This is the Bian family has no time to take care of Yuan Yun, and after beckoning Cao Qinghe to his side, he waved his hand at Yuan Yun and said, "You go to Cao Sikong for a walk, I heard that you came to Cao Mansion before, and I have already explained." ”

Yuan Yun got up and sighed, then patted Yuan Qing's little head, and then walked out of the door, looking at the sunset outside that was gradually westerly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this point to see Cao Cao, it means that tonight is going to eat in Cao's mansion, for Cao Cao always likes to take dumplings and drink this hobby, it is really a headache.

Only when he got out of Bian's courtyard, he saw Cao Cheng, Cao Quan, and Cao Jing head-on, as if they had been arranged, Yuan Yun didn't move, as if nothing had happened, and when he passed by the three of them, he bowed his hand slightly and was considered to have seen the courtesy.

But after only a few steps, I heard Cao Cheng suddenly laugh and say, "Brother-in-law, don't go so fast, we are here to invite you to drink." ”

Yuan Yun frowned and said, "You are old enough to drink?" ”

Cao Cheng let out a strange dry laugh, and then replied: "After the age of twelve, you can naturally drink, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Before Cao Cheng's voice fell, Cao Cheng immediately continued: "I heard that the wine of the Yuan Mansion is the most powerful, and the price is extremely precious, why don't you get some from your brother-in-law, and the four of us can taste it together." ”

Yuan Yun had completely turned around at this time, because he had already discovered that these three people had come to look for him specifically, and they might have been waiting outside the Bian family's courtyard after hearing that he had come to Cao's mansion.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun pointed to the location of Cao Cao's study, and then said: "Cao Sikong called me over, the three of you are playing on your own, as for the fine wine of Yuan's mansion, they are all fixed to be supplied to Cao's mansion, you go and ask Aunt Bian for it." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yungang wanted to turn around and leave, but found that Cao Jing had already trotted to him, and then said with a smile: "Daddy is so boring, there is no wine and meat, and there is no singing and dancing, what is there to go to such a boring place, brother-in-law might as well go with us to have fun." ”

Yuan Yun's heart jumped, these three people had only been corrupted by Cao Chong for a few days, and now they were already so rampant, Cao Cao's call, they didn't take it seriously, how bold are the three of them now?

But now I really don't bother to pay attention to these three gentlemen, and when I was thinking of an excuse, I heard Cao Zhuang's voice suddenly come and said, "Yuan Hou, the lord has been waiting for a long time, so send a little one to call you over, let's go." ”

Cao Cheng, Cao Quan, and Cao Jing saw Cao Zhuang appear, and their faces were immediately unhappy, although they were already very bold, but they also knew very well that Cao Zhuang was different from ordinary subordinates, and it was better not to offend this person.

Seeing that the three gentlemen had dispersed, Yuan Yuncai and Cao Zhuang hurriedly turned to the arch of the courtyard.

"How long has Cao Sikong been waiting, I really delayed some time in Aunt Bian just now, now let's go faster." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Cao Zhuang, but saw that this guy didn't mean to be in a hurry.

Cao Zhuang smiled and said: "The lord just took a nap, and he is drinking tea at the moment. ”

Yuan Yun was stunned and puzzled: "Break the siege? ”

Cao Zhuang sighed and replied: "Cao Cheng, Cao Quan, and Cao Jing have already prepared a frame outside the courtyard, probably planning to take Yuan Hou to the Qinglou to have fun, Yuan Hou has never liked the Qinglou, so I came to relieve Yuan Hou." ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "The courage of the three of them has risen. ”

Cao Zhuang continued to sigh, and then said: "These things are not small things that can be investigated, but if Cao Chong Gongzi continues to praise the three of them like this, I am afraid that he will really cause trouble."

Now that Cao Cheng, Cao Quan, and Cao Jing have spent very extravagantly, the money given to them by Cao Chong's son is estimated to be bottomed out soon, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for them to change it back. ”

Yuan Yun still didn't know whether it was okay or not, Cao Chong was afraid that Cao Chong had already planned this matter carefully, and now it must be implemented without leakage, thinking like this, Cao Cheng, Cao Cheng, and Cao Jing are probably really difficult in the days ahead.

But these are not what he Yuan Yun needs to worry about, since he came to harm Lao Tzu's son, then these three bastards should be miserable.

The two walked while talking, and soon entered the courtyard of Cao Cao's study, but at this time they found that the two were already standing at the door, and they took a closer look at Guo Jia and Hua Xin.
