On the way to Puyang City in Yanzhou, Chen Qun thought of the bearded man's words, and couldn't help but think that the cumulative number of people he had sent out this time was nearly 20,000, and the remaining manpower in the mountain city was about 343,000, and if you counted the manpower sent to Luoyang City, the remaining people in the mountain city would be 340,000.

Chen Qun thought that Jizhou and Yuzhou did not have a guard commander again, so he pondered the candidate for the guard commander in his heart, and looked at Hua Da and the other seven women behind him, Chen Qun couldn't help but shake his head, he thought of how inconvenient it would be for the female commander, so he decided to send Hua Liu and Hua Qi to bring people over first, and then replace them after Wei Er and Wei San came back.

After leaving the Sili territory, Chen Qun found Hua Liu and Hua Qi two women: "Hua Liu, Hua Qi, you sent the men from Jizhou and Yuzhou over respectively, and then temporarily took the position of guard commander over there." After a while, I will send Wei II and Wei San back to replace you, respectively. ”

"Yes!" Hua Six and Hua Qi hugged their fists and left.

After Chen Qun and his entourage came to Puyang City, they took a turn in Puyang City, determined the central location of Puyang City, and then used seven gold to buy a three-acre wine shop, and then used hardware to buy a two-acre courtyard nearby, renamed Chenfu, and the industry of Puyang City was completed.

Next, Chen Qun bought a restaurant and courtyard in a suitable location in the remaining six counties of Yanzhou: Dongjun, Dongping, Jibei, Liqiu, Taishan and Dingtao City, and spent a total of nearly 50 gold. Since then, Chen Qun has spent 60 gold on buying restaurants and mansions in the seven counties of Yanzhou in half a month.

Chen Qun calculated the expenses, and was glad that the gold he brought to everyone was more than double the one hundred gold he had originally planned, otherwise, there would definitely be places where there would not be enough gold. It's a small thing to be troublesome, and it's a big deal to delay his plan.

Chen Qun was also worried that there would be no wine shops in some county towns, so he would have to build them, but fortunately, his worries were unnecessary, every county town had wine shops, no matter how big or small, and there was more than one. Although the location of the liquor store that Chen Qun bought is not the best in every county, it is not bad, after all, no liquor store will open a liquor store in the middle of nowhere. In addition, Chen Qun is very worried about the future, so he will not go to great lengths to build a new restaurant.

After the restaurants and residences in the counties of Yanzhou were completed, Chen Qun, Guan 20 and Wei 11 returned to the Chen Mansion in Puyang City. Chen Qun said to the two: "Twenty, the business here in Yanzhou will be handed over to you." The two hundred and twenty gold purchase industry cost sixty gold, and sixty gold was distributed to the brothers who collected cotton, and there is still one hundred gold left, I will hand over the gold to you, and you will put all the restaurants in the seven counties into operation as soon as possible. ”

"Subordinates receive orders! Thank you to your subordinates for your trust! "Twenty fists.

Chen Qun nodded, he was still very relieved of his ability to manage twenty, it can be said that the first batch of thirteen housekeepers he chose were very responsible, and the manpower he chose was very reliable, Chen Qun looked at Wei Shi again: "Wei Shi, Yanzhou is the closest among the twelve states from Shaomu Mountain City, and the cotton purchased by the brothers, you must send someone to escort it to Shaomu Mountain City in time." There's still waiting to weave cloth out of cotton. ”

Wei Shi hugged his fist at Chen Qun and said, "Please rest assured!" My subordinates will definitely do it. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back first, I'll stay here and hinder your errands." ”

Guan Twenty hugged his fists when he heard this: "Family master, don't you rest for two days before leaving?" ”

Chen Qun waved his hand: "No, I won't hinder you, I think I have to go to Jingzhou for something, you are busy." ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he left, followed closely by Hua Da Wu Nu and a hundred Chen Kar-wai on horseback.

When Chen Qun came to Yanzhou, he remembered that the reason why there were so many famous generals around Cao Cao in history was because of Yanzhou's outstanding talents. But after Chen Qun went around Yanzhou, except for inquiring about the location of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, the rest of the people didn't find out, and Chen Qun couldn't help but feel lost. In the depths of Chen Qun's heart, he always believed that even if he couldn't compete for hegemony in this life, he would let his favorite generals change their fate. Chen Qun naturally thought of Huang Zhong.

Chen Qun knew in his heart that Huang Zhong must be older than Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun was already thirty-one years old, so Huang Zhong's age would definitely not be young, he should be around thirty-five years old. So Chen Qun decided to go to Jingzhou immediately to find Huang Zhong. He wanted to change Huang Zhong's fate.

Chen Qun and his entourage are all martial artists, and the two counties of Chenliu and Yingchuan that they pass by have newly bought Chen Mansions, so Chen Qun and his entourage do not consider accommodation and meals at all.

When passing by Yangzhai City, Chen Qun entered the city and came to Chen Ji Restaurant in Yangzhai City, and met the person in charge here: "How is it?" How's business going this month? ”

The housekeeper hugged his fist at Chen Qun and said: "Go home, this month's business is okay, and I have earned about one gold, but because I have purchased a new Chen Mansion in the city, I still owe three gold to the eleventh housekeeper here." However, his subordinates believed that in three months, they would be able to pay off the debts owed by the eleventh steward and start paying profits for the family. ”

Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "How can buying a house become your business?" 11. Where are the others? ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper hugged his fists and said: "Go home, the eleventh housekeeper is guarding the city, and the eleventh housekeeper did this to greet his subordinates." The eleventh housekeeper said that he still had to send someone to buy cotton and silk, but the head of the house did not give him enough money, and he did not dare to delay the big business of the head of the house, so he let the restaurant where we started to open try to solve the problem of accommodation for the brothers. ”

Chen Qun suddenly realized when he heard this, and he slapped his forehead with his hand: "Bang!" If you don't say this, I forgot about it, yes, I only left thirty gold for Eleven, and I only bought a restaurant and didn't buy a place to live for my brothers, I was negligent, and I blame it! Why didn't Eleven mention this to me? ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Family master, my subordinates think that what the eleventh butler said is right!" You have given enough to your brothers! Brothers are very grateful from the bottom of my heart! Brothers are now satisfied to be fed and well-fed and have something to do! We can overcome this difficulty. ”

Chen Qun waved his hand: "How can this work!" How did you guys get over all these nights? Is it just living in a restaurant? ”

The housekeeper nodded and hugged his fists and said: "Yes, the head of the house, fortunately, our restaurants are big enough, and there are not many guests who stay overnight, so we will always stay, but now it's okay, the subordinates have bought a courtyard nearby, one room per person and very comfortable." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun patted the butler in front of him, who was not a few years older than him, on the shoulder: "Good brother, because of my negligence, you have been wronged!" I will give you one hundred and fifty gold, and you shall send the guard of the restaurant to Eleven, and tell him that he shall immediately buy a house for all the brothers of the county, and the standard is one room for each person, and two rooms for husband and wife. One courtyard is not enough to buy two, and you can't be wronged brothers. The rest of the money was used to harvest cotton and silk. ”

The housekeeper gritted his mouth and said in a trembling voice after taking the one hundred and fifty gold handed over by Chen Qun: "Family master, my subordinates thank you for your brothers!" You can rest assured, the subordinates will send the gold to the eleventh steward today. ”

Chen Qun smiled slightly: "When you say this, I think of the Guan Twelve in Jizhou, and they should also be short of funds, but the task I gave them is different from Eleven, okay, let's eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

After Chen Qun led people into Chen Ji Restaurant to eat and drink, Chen Qun said to Hua Dadao at the same table: "Hua Da, you go to Jizhou Yecheng for a trip, I will give you one hundred and fifty gold, and you hand over the gold to Guan Twelve over there." ”

Hearing this, Hua Da got up and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates take orders!" ”

Chen Qun took out three ingots of gold and handed them to Hua Da: "Be careful on the road, and bring the two hundred coins with you in case of emergency." ”

Hua Da took the gold and put it away, and then hugged his fist at Chen Qun and said: "Family master, now our family's Chen Ji Restaurant is all over the Han Dynasty, and the subordinates don't need to bring money when they go out in the future, they can't be hungry!" ”

Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha......, I almost forgot!" But you should bring it with you! It's only two hundred dollars, and it doesn't weigh much. ”

After Hua Da took the money, he hugged his fist at Chen Qun and said, "Family master, if there is nothing else, my subordinates will leave!" It's just that where do the subordinates go to find you when they return? ”

Chen Qun thought for a while and said, "You don't have to look for me, you go back to the mountain city directly." It would be enough to have two flowers, four of them and a hundred Chan Kar-wai by my side. ”

Hua Da smiled at Chen Qun when he heard this, and then bowed to Hua Ersi and turned to leave. The second and fourth daughters also returned the gift. Chen Qun looked at Hua Da's back, and instantly had the illusion that Hua Da was a peerless woman.

After Hua Da left, Chen Qun said to the second-class woman Hua: "Now that the weather is short, let's not rest, and we will rest after we arrive in Xiangyang City, Jingzhou." ”

"Yes!" The two and four women hugged their fists together.

So Chen Qun said goodbye to his brothers here, and took Hua Ersi and a hundred Chen Kar-wai to Xiangyang City.

When it was dark, Chen Qun and his entourage hurriedly stepped up and finally entered Xiangyang City. Then Chen Qun asked Chen Kar-wai to ask around to see where the Chen Kee Restaurant here opened. Fortunately, Chen Ji Restaurant is famous enough, and the guards quickly inquired about the location of Chen Ji Restaurant and took Chen Qun there.

After Chen Qun and his entourage settled in Chen Ji Restaurant, the temporary person in charge who stayed here visited Chen Qun: "The head of the family, the fifteenth housekeeper and Wei Wu led them to follow General Guan Yu to other counties in Jingzhou to buy restaurants, and they have not returned yet. For the time being, this place is under the care of subordinates. ”

Chen Qun looked at the capable young man in front of him and nodded: "Has the restaurant started to open?" ”

The young man clasped his fists and said, "Yes, the head of the family, it has been open for ten days. ”

"How's business?" Chen Qun then asked.

Hearing this, the young man lowered his head and clenched his fists and said, "Go home, business is not very good." Ten days after opening, I only made 2,000 dollars! This is also thanks to the fact that the manpower and the restaurant are our own, and there is no need to pay extra money, otherwise we will lose money. ”

Chen Qun frowned when he heard this: "How is it possible? Shouldn't it be? ”

The young man looked up at Chen Qun's eyes and clenched his fists and said, "Homecoming master, in fact, the reason is that the subordinates are also considering it these days, and the subordinates think that it should be because of the difference in eating between the north and the south." Northerners like to eat pasta, while Southerners like to eat rice. Therefore, the eating method invented by the head of the family is not very popular here. ”

Chen Qun blinked when he heard this, and nodded: "Yes! You're analytically right! What is your name? ”

Hearing this, the young man lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Go home, my subordinate name is Chen Zhong." ”

Chen Qun looked at Chen Zhong and smiled: "Very good! You are willing to use your brain, which is a very good habit, and you have to stick to it more in the future. Go back and tell Guan Fifteen, just say that I will appoint you as the manager of this Chen Ji Restaurant in Xiangyang City in the future. ”

"Thank you for your trust!" Chen Zhong hugged his fists.

Chen Qun nodded: "You go down first, you come to see me tomorrow morning, and I will hand over the improved menu to you." ”

"Yes!" Chen Zhong gave Chen Qun a fist salute and turned to leave.

After Chen Zhong left, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Qun's mouth, he was very satisfied with the current atmosphere of the Chen family, the whole family was sincerely united and worked together to do things, how could he fail? That's the wisdom of more than 300,000 people!
