After a few years of absence, when he saw Cao Hong again, he could still see a lewd look on his face, and Yuan Yun not only felt a little like frowning.

Cao Hong got off the frame and walked straight to Yuan Yun's frame, at this moment Yuan Yun had also gotten out of the car, and the two hugged each other and saluted, even though there was a lot of age difference, but Cao Hong didn't seem to feel any embarrassment.

"Fortunately, it came in time, otherwise if Yuan Hou goes out, I'm afraid I will have to run for nothing." After Cao Hong finished speaking, he laughed, saying that he was more like a splash in the market, and no one objected.

Yuan Yun heard Cao Hong call him to be Yuan Hou, instead of being like everyone else, either calling himself a kid or calling himself by his first name, did this Uncle Cao Hong take the wrong medicine today? When I was in Wancheng, I saw this thing, but I wasn't even in the mood to take care of it.

Bowing his hand slightly, Yuan Yuncai smiled and said: "General Cao Hong is here, I don't know what to teach?" ”

Cao Hong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Where is there a teaching, I came to hope that Yuan Hou would help me." ”

Yuan Yun remembered that he had seen General Cao Hong in Luoyang before, so he continued: "General Cao Hong wants to exchange for cement and masonry, and I seem to have sent someone to handle it, haven't I shipped it to Wancheng yet?" ”

Cao Hong hurriedly continued: "It's been transported, it's all shipped, it's a lot, I want to thank Yuan Hou, it's just ......"

Yuan Yun was stunned, and followed Cao Hong's words and wondered: "Just what?" General Cao Hong, but it doesn't matter. ”

Cao Hong smiled and said: "The cement and masonry are intended to be used to build walls in Wancheng, since Yuan Hou is willing to exchange them with Wancheng for a long time, I am not too worried, I still lack a batch of farm tools, so after returning to Xudu this time, I immediately rushed to Yuan's mansion, and I just wanted to make another deal with Yuan Hou." ”

Yuan Yun's heart was full of question marks, when did Cao Hong become so interested in farming? When he was in Wancheng, he complained that there were too many water conservancy systems, and he was impeached in this book and said that he Yuan Yun wasted people's fat and ointment, what kind of wind is blowing today?

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun asked, "Why did General Cao Hong suddenly attach so much importance to farming?" If I'm not mistaken, farming is not the main industry in Wancheng, where hotels, restaurants, resorts and entertainment are the main income. ”

Cao Hong immediately shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, I really didn't pay much attention to farming before, but I was reminded by a high-ranking person, so I was vigorously developing farming last year, and before that, I used the harvest to exchange it with Yuan Hou, and I didn't want to exchange a little grain for so much cement and masonry."

These bricks, stones, and cement are enough for me to cast a five-mile long wall on the west side of Wancheng, which can not only defend Zhanglu in Hanzhong, but even cut off many roads in Jingzhou, and immediately make Wancheng more stable.

In previous years, to build such a long wall, I am afraid that it would take several years of Wancheng's reserves, but now it is only some grain to solve, which is really beyond my expectations, so this year I am ready to continue to vigorously develop farming.

Listening to the master, Yuan Hou produced a lot of new agricultural tools in Luoyang, which can make farming more convenient, if Wancheng can be popularized, we can reclaim more wasteland, so that after harvesting more grain next year, I can exchange with Yuan Hou for more cement masonry, maybe the walls of Wancheng can be repaired again. ”

Yuan Yun listened to Cao Hong's words, and immediately became puzzled in his heart, and asked casually: "I don't know who this master's name is?" ”

Cao Hong laughed and said: "That master didn't let me hide it, his name is Zhuge Liang, he is indeed a young man with excellent ability and talent, Wancheng has had his guidance over the years, but he has made a lot of achievements, for which Cao Sikong also rewarded me a lot, haha." ”

As soon as Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang's name, the corners of his mouth immediately twitched, and he smiled in an instant: "It turns out that Brother Wolong is supporting General Cao Hong behind his back, no wonder Wancheng can send so much food this year, but I don't know if there is a share of Brother Wolong in these grains sent to Lao Luoyang?" ”

Cao Hong was stunned, and immediately smiled: "Mr. Wolong has always said that Yuan Hou is a very smart person, and today I really let Cao Hong see it, just by my words, I guessed that there was a share of Longzhong in those grains."

But Yuan Hou doesn't have to be angry, anyway, it's all for purchase, I also gave a batch of cement and masonry to Longzhong, they are only used to establish Zhuangzi and repair the school, not for military facilities, so you can rest assured. ”

Clever fart! Don't worry! Zhuge Liang's bastard just doesn't want to repay the bad debts he owed before, if Longzhong directly trades with Luoyang, he must first pay off the steel money he owed before, and now let Cao Hong send it together, which is equivalent to bypassing this arrears.

Damn, Zhuge Liang, this bastard is definitely an old scoundrel, and it is estimated that he will not be able to recover those few steel dollars in this life.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun immediately turned a smile on his face and said: "Naturally, there is no problem with the new farming tools, Luoyang has a lot of reserves because it plans to reclaim wasteland this year, but General Cao Hong, the grain you sent before has been replaced with cement masonry, what else do you want to exchange?" ”

Cao Hong was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Mr. Wolong said, let me mortgage the grain produced next year to Yuan Hou first, so that we can get the cultivation tools first, so as soon as I returned to Xudu, I immediately rushed to Yuan's mansion to discuss with Yuan Hou." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched again, this Zhuge Liang's shamelessness has reached a certain level, not only is he shameless, but now he has also called Cao Hong, who is more thick-skinned, to be shameless and unlucky.

But after thinking about it, isn't this a future, now Wancheng has got the farming tools first, and he will return them next year, so there is a lot to discuss.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Since General Cao Hong is not in a hurry to go home, and I am in a hurry to go out, it is better for us to get on my frame and discuss it in detail." ”

Cao Hong laughed and said, "It's easy to say, it's really hard to talk about some things standing on the street, Yuan Hou please." ”

Yuan Yun looked at Cao Hong's 180-degree change, and sighed in his heart, no wonder Cao Hong would become the richest master of the Cao family, because this product is completely a snob, as long as it is profitable, he can do without any figure, this kind of person is a real businessman.

When he arrived at the frame, Yuan Yun didn't hurry to speak, and after instructing Xiao Liu to start, he took out a pot of osmanthus stuffed from the mezzanine of the carriage, and made some dried meat out like a trick.

Cao Hong was overjoyed, grabbed a handful of dried meat into his mouth, poured another sip of wine, and immediately exhaled and said: "It is said that Yuanfu's fine wine and food are unparalleled in the world, today I can be regarded as tasting my own family, when I was in Wancheng, it has become an extremely luxurious thing to go to your family's restaurant to eat, but your family's food and wine are so attractive, I really can't stop, I have spent a lot of money to take care of Yuan Hou's business." ”

Yuan Yun watched Cao Hong greedily drink the wine in the pot, and then desperately put the jerky into his mouth, completely looking like he was robbing, this person really likes to take advantage, at the moment things are free, he probably will never be polite.

In the time of two incense sticks, Cao Hong drank a pot of wine, and Yuan Yun didn't get a sip at all, but even so, Cao Hong was not embarrassed, and put some dried meat residue into his mouth with a plate, and then he squirted out comfortably.

After taking advantage of the cheap, Cao Hong immediately continued the topic just now: "I don't know how Yuan Hou thought about my proposal just now?" ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with me providing farming tools first, but if Wancheng fails to harvest, isn't it equivalent to losing all my capital?" ”

Cao Hong frowned slightly, and said: "Even if the harvest is not in arrears, we can pay it off slowly next year or the year after, although I Cao Hong is greedy for money, I will never owe debts, and this credibility can still be guaranteed." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth turned up slightly, and he shook his hand and said: "If the harvest is not paid, Wancheng will be very miserable, and it is estimated that it may not be able to slow down in the next year, if God doesn't open his eyes, can I still suck blood from the people of Wancheng?" ”

Cao Hong was immediately confused, could it be that Yuan Yun planned to give him farming tools for nothing, but just think about it, I heard that this kid in front of him never suffers, so it is impossible to give anything for nothing.

Yuan Yun glanced at Cao Hong's reaction, and immediately continued: "Why don't I propose a way, the cultivation tools can be taken away by General Cao Hong first, and my exchange condition is forty percent of the autumn harvest in Wancheng, whether it is a bumper harvest or a poor harvest, it is only forty percent of the total, and when the harvest is right, I will be right to bet on the harvest, and I will bear the risk with the people of Wancheng if the harvest is undertaken, so what does General Cao Hong think?" ”

Cao Hong has never heard of this kind of trading method, he does not charge interest, nor does he do any collateral, but wants to be tied to Wancheng to share the risk, which is simply the biggest advantage, how can he not take advantage of it?

So Cao Hong immediately gave up his hand and said: "This is in line with the interests of both parties, so I will do it according to Yuan Hou's idea, but I don't know when this batch of farming tools can be transported to Wancheng?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "I'll go to write a letter right away, to ensure that when we triumph from Yecheng, General Cao Hong will definitely be able to see it." ”

Cao Hong nodded with joy, and shook his head in an instant: "Where do you need to wait until Yecheng triumphs, this crusade against Yuan Shangke has nothing to do with me, I just need to take care of the agricultural development of Wancheng now, Cao Sikong attaches great importance to the cultivation of cultivated land over there." ”

Yuan Yun suddenly wondered in his heart, Cao Hong did not participate in the crusade against Yuan Shang, this is simply impossible, Cao Cao must take Cao Hong and Cao Ren with him every time he goes out, and none of them are falling, why not take them this time?

Cao Hong didn't have as many worries as Yuan Yun, his mind was full of the new farming tools that had just arrived at the moment, and as for the crusade against Yuan Shang, he was not worried at all, this kind of demeanor definitely didn't look like pretending.

After a while, Cao Hong thanked him a few words, and then he was about to get out of the car to say goodbye, and after getting out of the car, he suddenly whispered to Yuan Yun: "Since Yuan Hou is so righteous, there are some things I still need to remind, Cao Ren has recently borrowed a lot of money from me in the name of Cao Pi, and the amount is not ordinarily huge."

However, all my thoughts were on the farming of Wancheng, so I refused, and they seemed to be planning to build a dam on the river to irrigate the land north of Xudu, which was also promised by Cao Sikong, and Yuan Hou had to think about it in advance. ”

After speaking, Cao Hongzhi got into his frame proudly, and then walked away, leaving only Yuan Yun with an uneasy face.

If Cao Ren and they built a dam on the big river, then Diao Chan's transportation business through the big river would basically be yellow, not to mention that there are countless merchants who need to use this river, which is equivalent to choking everyone's neck at once.

It's quite unsettling.

Yuan Yun thought so, and ordered Xiao Liu to speed up so that he could see Cao Ang as soon as possible.
