Feng County
"One to ten!"
"One to two!"
"Four circles, explode!"
In the inner courtyard, Cao Yuan was in high spirits, fighting against Ganmei Xu Chu for landlords.
When Cao Yuan taught them at first, they were quite resistant to such an unheard-of entertainment project.
But with Cao Yuan's insistence, the two had no choice but to Reluctantly, they sat down and listened to Cao Yuan's explanation of the strange rules and gameplay.
After playing a few cards, they quickly found fun and gradually became addicted to it.
Cao Yuan was sleepy today and wanted to lie down for a while. , Xu Chu and Gan Mei still forced him to fight several landlords.
"King bomb!"
"One to three, I won!"
The Ganmei card was thrown on the table, with a look of pride on her pretty face.
Xu Chu's eyes widened and he exclaimed:"You win again, Girl Gan, you are really awesome!"
"The apprentice has really learned how to starve the master to death...."
Cao Yuan smiled bitterly and threw out a handful of bad cards.
I have to admit that Gan Mei is indeed a poker god in Landlords....
"What are you doing?"
Xia Juan was disturbed by them and walked into the courtyard with a suspicious face.
Cao Yuanzheng was bored with losing so much and hurriedly pulled her over:"You came just in time, play a few games for me."
"this....What is this?"
Xia Houjuan looked at the playing cards made of bamboo slices in front of him, his almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion.
"Miss Juaner, this is called poker, what we are going to play is Landlords."
Before Cao Yuan could speak, Gan Mei rushed to explain.
"poker?"
"Fighting for space? Xia
Houjuan's eyes widened and he shook his head and said:"I have never heard that there is such a game in this world. I don't know how to play it.""
"It's very simple. Miss Juan'er is so smart that she must be able to learn things quickly."
Gan Mei was very enthusiastic and volunteered to explain the rules and gameplay to her. The more
Xia Houjuan listened, the more headache he got. He turned back and looked at Cao Yuan:"Master Cao, it's been a month and you haven't bought another tael of sea salt. , you don’t want to think about how to communicate, and there are such casual games?"
"I said, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain"
"In this case, we are also idle when we are idle, so of course we have to have some fun."
Cao Yuan smiled disapprovingly.
Xia Houjuan looked confused, and he really couldn't figure out how Cao Yuan got the confidence to be so calm.
"Don't think so much, this landlord is starting to fight."
Cao Yuan sat next to Xia Houjuan and patiently taught her how to fight the landlord.
Xia Houjuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and learn it.
After a few games, Xia Houjuan gradually found out how to fight against the landlord. The fun slowly became immersed in it, and all the sea salt matters were forgotten.
Cao Yuan sipped the wine and watched the fun in a leisurely mood.
Suddenly, a mechanical sound sounded in his mind
"Ding! The host took 50,000 stones of sea salt and put it into the small treasury. After one month, he gained 50,000 stones of sea salt!"
The gain is stored in the warehouse.
Cao Yuan raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
There are four kinds of salt, sea salt, lake salt, rock salt, and well salt.
Among the four kinds of salt, well salt has the least impurities, the highest salinity, and the finest salt grains. The quality ranks first among the four salts.
Most of the well salt is produced in Shu. Due to the remote and dangerous mountains in Shu, transportation is inconvenient, so the price of well salt transported to the Central Plains can be tripled.
And the current market situation , the price of 50,000 stones of well salt can be worth 200,000 stones of sea salt!
"This well salt was sold to the court at the price of sea salt, which seems to be a bit of a loss."
"But in the current salt shortage situation, just make less money. Anyway, it’s just a waste of money......"
Cao Yuan secretly calculated in his heart
"Ding! The host received ten [Nine-Turn Bear Snake Pills] as a reward (non-fatal injuries can be cured immediately)."
Cao Yuan's eyes burst out with a light when he was neutral.
Non-fatal injuries!
That means that as long as he is not beheaded and stabbed in the heart, , he was not dead on the spot, even if he only had one breath left, he could be saved.
This is the elixir that can truly bring the dead back to life!
"With this Nine Turns Bear Snake Pill, there is another life-saving talisman, not bad, not bad...."
Cao Yuan was secretly happy and put the magic elixir into the storage space.
"Pair two, straight, I win!"
Xia Houjuan's triumphant cry rang in his ears.
Cao Yuan withdrew his thoughts, but saw that this cold and charming young general had a rare smile on his face at this moment, which was completely different from his usual coldness.
She looked like this. It's also quite touching
"It's not that it's unacceptable to marry her, right?...."
Cao Yuan has begun to accept Xia Houjuan in his heart.
"Cao Ziyou!"
A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Xia Houjuan shuddered, and the cards in his hand immediately fell from his hands. He looked back hurriedly. I didn't know when Cao Cao was standing outside the courtyard gate, and was being beaten by Yan Yun. Eighteen riders blocked
"uncle!"
Xia Houjuan was startled and stood up in a hurry.
"Why is he here?"
Cao Yuan frowned, suddenly having a bad premonition.
This haunting king's secretary always does bad things every time he comes to his door. He either comes to ask for advice, or comes to ask for bribes, and every time he comes to ask for bribes. It cost him a lot of money.
This time, I'm afraid he will have to endure the pain of cutting his flesh....
"Master Wang is not enjoying the blessings in the capital, so why did he come to Feng County?"
Cao Yuan put a smile on his face and signaled Yan Yunwei to let him go.
Cao Cao walked in with a solemn expression, followed by Dian Wei and Guo Jia as usual.
Seeing that Cao Yuan and the others were still in the mood to play, his face became gloomy.
"Cao Ziyou, Cao Ziyou, the two states of Yan and Henan are suffering from a severe shortage of salt, yet you still have such leisurely interests and ambitions, you are so calm!"
Cao Cao complained loudly.
Listening to his tone, it was obvious that he also knew that he refused to buy Mi's sea salt.
He came here in a hurry to raise an army to punish him.
"Liu Bei took advantage of people's danger and raised the price, hoping to make huge profits from Duke Cao. Of course, he couldn't let Duke Cao suffer when he was demoted."
Cao Yuan said calmly, adding a cup of tea to him.
Cao Cao drank it all in one gulp, and his eager mood calmed down a little.
He then asked again:"Even so, why didn't you buy 50,000 stones of sea salt before? He has not been sent back to Xudu for a long time."
"This is it...."
Cao Yuan scratched his forehead with his fingertips
"Did you steal it for yourself again?"
Cao Cao immediately became alert.
Cao Yuan coughed a few times and said:"You can also say that."
"You are so brave!"
"The salt shortage in Yanzhou and Henan is so serious that it has reached the point where people's hearts are boiling. If it is not relieved, it will trigger a civil uprising!"
"These 50,000 stones of sea salt are crucial to appeasing the people. How dare you steal it for yourself?"
Cao Cao asked excitedly.
He was also too anxious and had completely forgotten the twists and turns after Cao Yuan embezzled grain, grass and war horses a few times before.
Cao Yuan's face was calm, and after patiently listening to his question, he smiled faintly:"Your Majesty. Don't be anxious, just come with me."
After that, Cao Yuan stood up and left.
Cao Cao was stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he had to follow Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan took him out of the county government and went straight to the west of the city to a salt warehouse he built privately.
"Zhongkang, tell them to open all the treasury doors!"
Cao Yuan waved his hand and shouted an order.
Xu Chu then ordered Yan Yunwei to open all the salt warehouse doors.
Cao Cao looked at the salt warehouse in front of him, and for a moment he didn't realize what his intention was.
Guo Jia behind him, But he was already counting with his fingers.
Suddenly,
Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he said happily:"Si....Chief Secretary, there are a hundred thousand rock salt stored in this warehouse!"
Cao Cao was shaken, and his originally gloomy and suspicious expression was instantly replaced by surprise.
