Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Besides, the treatment of myself as a prisoner is already pretty good, let's take a step to see it first!

Yi Juan first followed Cao Ren back to Juancheng, saw the real prosperity of Juancheng, and then compared Xuzhou's superficial prosperity. There are so many victories over Duke Tao!"

But when Cao Ren heard Yiji's words, he despised Yiji like a country bumpkin, "You are so surprised in Juancheng? When you see Chenliucheng and Yangdicheng, your jaw will drop in shock." ?”

Yiji's relationship with Cao Ren was already very good along the way. He even gave Cao Ren a white look, and replied: "I have traveled thousands of miles before, and it's not like I haven't seen Chen Liucheng and Yangdi City. If the general wants to Bragging, please make a good draft first!"

"Hehe!" Cao Ren didn't explain much, he really wanted to see how surprised Yiji was when he saw Chen Liucheng and Yangdicheng.

My jaw was shocked once in Puyang, and I have to be the same as myself, so that everyone can get along better.

When Cao Cao's army passed through Juancheng and rushed to Puyang, Cao Ren left Yiji in Juancheng.

Then Cao Cao joined the Puyang army and defeated Lu Bu, and Cao Ren returned to Juancheng. After arranging all the matters of the soldiers, he took Yiji and set off for Yingchuan County.

Cao Ren is Cao Cao's most valued clan, even stronger than the Xiahou brothers.

Cao Cao originally hoped that Cao Ren would stay by his side, but Cao Ren shamelessly said that he had too much affection for Yingchuan and was reluctant to let go.

Cao Cao was grateful for his brother's affection, so he let him go back to Yingchuan.In fact, the affection Cao Ren said was more of a credit to the emperor.

......

Since entering Chenliu City, Yi Ji's mouth has never closed.

If Cao Ren hadn't repeatedly assured him that this place was really Chen Liucheng, Yiji would have even wondered if the big characters at the gate of the city were deliberately changed by Cao Ren to scare him...

"Zixiao, why are you here!" Lu Yan looked at Cao Ren in surprise and asked.

"I've seen you, sir!" Cao Ren said with cupped fists in salute.

The scribe behind him looked at the "Sir" Cao Ren often said with great interest, "I thought he was a respectable old man, but he turned out to be a young man?"

Seeing a well-mannered scholar with a calm expression behind Cao Ren, Lu Yan let the door open and said to them: "You guys just happened to be going out on business, and I'm afraid I'll have to go to the fields and alleys to look for things later. I went."

Cao Ren is well aware of Lu Yan's personality, so if he said he was on a business trip, there was a high probability that he skipped work and went back to sleep, right?

But it is impossible for Cao Ren to expose Lu Yan in front of outsiders. Although they are almost at the same level now, Cao Ren still treats Lu Yan as a husband.

After entering the hall, Cao Ren pulled Yi Ji over, dragged him from behind to Lu Yan, and said with a smile: "Sir, come and see what gift I brought you!"

Lu Yan suddenly looked at Yi Ji curiously, and asked, "What's your name?"

Photographed under Lu Yan's gaze,

Yi Ji suddenly had a feeling that he seemed to be standing naked in front of Lu Yan as if he had no clothes on...

Enduring the discomfort in his heart and body, Yiji cupped his hands and saluted, "I'm Yiji, named Jibo, from Shanyang County, Yanzhou."

Eh?Yi Ji, a loyal fan of Liu Bei in the early days, and his own talents are also good. In addition to being eloquent, his ability in government affairs is also quite good.

Yiji was cut off by Cao Ren and sent to Chenliu. That's right, Cao Ren really understands his mind, so he should be rewarded!

"Zi Xiao, Mr. Yi is a great talent, how can he be treated as a gift? It's really insulting!" Lu Yan pretended to scold Cao Ren, but at an angle that Yi Ji couldn't see, he raised a big stick at Cao Ren. thumb.

Cao Ren smiled knowingly, and said: "Sir, the soldiers I brought out from Yingchuan County, after this battle, their weapons and armor are damaged..."

"Go to Lao Geng, he is in charge of the affairs of the official square now."

"Okay!" Cao Ren ran out happily. Being able to repair the armor in Chenliu County would save a lot of money for Cao Ren!

After Cao Ren left, only Lu Yan and Yi Ji remained here.

After Lu Yan invited Yi Ji to take his seat, he returned to the main seat.

"Cao Ren is vulgar, Yan hereby apologizes to Uncle Ji on his behalf, and hopes that Uncle Ji will not blame you." Lu Yan always felt strange when he yelled this word.

Yi Ji showed a hearty smile, and replied with cupped hands: "Ji is worrying about making a living, but he doesn't want General Cao Ren to give Ji a chance. Ji should be grateful to General Cao Ren, hahaha!"

Hearing this, Lu Yan clapped his hands and smiled, "Ha! I'm short of manpower here, so Brother Ji is willing to stay, that's really great!"

Chapter 115 Papermaking and Chamber of Commerce

Yiji originally wanted to go south to seek refuge with Liu Biao to earn a living.

Who knows, Cao Ren took him captive to Chenliu before the action was implemented.

However, this gave him a very good opportunity.

Yi Ji was in a good mood, and walked out of Lu Yan's office with his head held high. He was going to report to Mao Jie, and he would probably take up the post.

Along the way, while looking around at the bustling streets of Chenliucheng, Yi Ji secretly thought:

"This eunuch really looks too young. He didn't even take the school exams, and he just gave me a job."

Shaking his head, Yiji sighed and said:

"Fortunately, it was me he met. If he met a silver gun wax head and an embroidered pillow, wouldn't it be a matter of state affairs?"

"Oh! I finally have a decent job. Why do I think so much...Let's go!"

The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, which roughly describes Yi Ji's current mentality, and he is short of singing "Lang Li Ge Lang".

Having won two talented people who are good at politics today, Lu Yan felt that he must have stepped on shit when he went out.

"Today is really lucky!

Do you want to take advantage of your red hand and open a pack or two to try it? "

Two months, two big gift packs, Lu Yan had a premonition that his luck would be hot today, so he decided to open two packs to test his luck!

"Emmm... it's better to wash your hands and face first. Sharpen your knife and chop wood. If you want to do it, you must do your best!"

After a lot of fussing, Lu Yan closed the door of the office, and then knelt respectfully in front of the desk.

There are two monthly gift packages on the table.

Lu Yan's face was solemn, and after straightening his clothes and cuffs, he stretched out his hand to the big gift bag.

【Ding! 】

It was as if a golden light flashed in front of my eyes!

[Congratulations to the host for opening the monthly gift package and getting: "Bamboo Paper Papermaking Technique" x1]

[Bamboo papermaking technique: chopping bamboo ponds, boiling over fire, pounding mortar and clay noodles, drying through fire... how precious is papermaking, don't I need to say more? 】

Seeing papermaking for the first time, Lu Yan only felt a buzzing in his head, and he almost fainted...

After recovering, he immediately yelled, "Thank you Dad System!" He was about to kneel for the last time.

"Papermaking! You're here at the right time!" Lu Yan couldn't wait to get the jade slip that recorded "Bamboo Paper Papermaking", and hurriedly reflected the knowledge in it into his mind.

"With it, Boss Cao will deal with the aristocratic family more calmly, and it will also make the fish pond I built more stable!"

The great cause of fishing will last forever!

"Come again!"

Take advantage of the victory to pursue, strike while the iron is hot, eat while it is hot... In short, Lu Yan quickly touched the second big gift bag, and the system's voice sounded immediately,

[Congratulations to the host for opening the monthly gift package and getting: Cloud Boots x1]

[Floating Cloud Boots: Slightly increase the wearer's flexibility, and very slightly increase the wearer's walking speed (the special effect is only valid for the host). 】

"It's so-so..." Lu Yan took the black-faced and white-edged, simple-looking Liuyun boots, and took advantage of the opportunity to replace the pair of shoes on his feet that had been with him for three years, "It saved me the money to buy shoes ..."

After wearing it, the foot feels good, and the whole body feels lighter.

Lu Yan hopped and tried the feeling of his feet.

In my mind, I recalled the glass making process and process formula I got last time, as well as the bamboo paper papermaking technology that I just developed, and thought to myself: "The sand needed for glass is easy to handle. But bamboo paper needs bamboo. Although this raw material is now in the Central Plains, it seems There are, but the quality is not so high..."

According to historical records, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, bamboo supervisors were set up to manage bamboo gardens in Henan, Shaanxi and other places, which shows that there are still bamboos in the Central Plains.

Only in the early Ming Dynasty, it seemed that there was no large-scale planting of bamboo in the north of the Yellow River.

It may be that climate change has led to the reduction of bamboo in the north, but it is still the end of Han Dynasty, and bamboo is still there.

However, the bamboo in the Central Plains alone is not enough in terms of quantity or quality, and it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to cultivate it yourself.

As far as bamboo paper in history is concerned, those produced in southern regions such as Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan, and Jiangxi are the most famous. The most important thing is that those places produce high-quality bamboo. (Iron Eater recommends Sichuan bamboo to you: "It's delicious, crunchy!")

"It seems that it is necessary to establish some trade lines..."

As the stalls get bigger, the raw materials needed are gradually becoming more diversified.

Lu Yan needs high-quality bamboo now, and reliable sales channels after the glass is produced.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Yan walked back and forth in the hall, thinking constantly in his mind: "So, before I start making glass and bamboo paper, I have to lay all the channels..."

"To establish commercial channels, a certain number of merchants are required. Retail investors are definitely not good enough. You have to find big merchants with a certain reputation..."

Lu Yan originally wanted to recruit businessmen to establish channels, but thinking of the nature of businessmen who are mercenary, he felt that these people might be difficult to control.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Yan suddenly remembered some of the things he had seen in later generations, and immediately slapped himself on the forehead and said:

"Damn, I'm such a badass! Why don't I eat this kind of good thing myself, but want to share it with those wolves?"

"Chamber of Commerce, I can form a Chamber of Commerce in the official name."

Establishing a chamber of commerce can also extract business tax from it. This is simply a profitable business!

Now that the cash crops are about to be harvested, the spices made by then can be sold to other states and counties through the chamber of commerce, just to test the waters.

"But who to take the lead?"

Lu Yan was the first to think of Cao Hong.

Cao Hong's biggest hobby is money, but he has another fatal flaw, that is, he is stingy!

When it comes to important ministers who were almost killed because of stinginess in history, Cao Hong must be among the best.

"Cao Hong is greedy and stingy, so he will definitely put in [-]% effort in doing business, but he may also wantonly embezzle public funds."

In history, although Cao Hong was one of the Cao Wei Eight Tigers, he was also the one with the least presence.

You see, Xiahou Dun has always been in charge of guarding the rear and his position is only under Cao Cao, equivalent to Boss Cao's deputy commander, and his status is quite respected.

Cao Ren has always been the coach of the southern front, and it is not easy for him to be able to fight well with Zhou Yu and Liu Bei.

Xia Houyuan, the coach of the western front, and the title of Hubu Guanyou, was given by Boss Cao himself.

Only Cao Hong has neither the ability to guard one side, nor seems to be very good at leading troops in battle. Apart from saving Lao Cao's life a few times, he doesn't seem to have too many outstanding performances.

Cao Hong is greedy and stingy, except for one person, that is, the person he can give his life for, big brother Cao Cao!

"If Cao Hong is restrained in the name of Boss Cao, there should be no problem."

Since he doesn't have much place in the battlefield, why not let him find another way and take a part-time job to manage the chamber of commerce?

Lu Yan punched his left palm with his right fist, and said affirmatively to himself: "It's possible!"

Thinking of this, after Lu Yan completed the table case, he took out a roll of silk and said in his heart:

"I'll write a letter to Boss Cao now, explaining to him the stakes!"

Merchants must be established, and those who control the Chamber of Commerce must also be reliable.

This is all laying the track for the future take-off!

Chapter 116 The increasingly plump team

"Okay, the letter has been completed, I hope Boss Cao can understand my painstaking efforts..."

Things have to be executed in parallel.

The letter for the formation of the chamber of commerce will be urgently delivered to Boss Cao tomorrow, and the next thing Chenliu County needs to do is the trial production of glass and papermaking.

These two things can be called the top secret among the secrets, and their importance is equal to or even higher than that of pouring steel.

The official square already covers an area of ​​more than one hundred acres, and there are as many as a thousand craftsmen in it.

There is a special area for weapon forging. In order to keep secret and have enough space for display, glass and papermaking must also have independent places.

Looking at the overcrowded workshops today, Lu Yan already felt that the current site was not enough.

Therefore, we have to expand!Lao Cao rewarded a bunch of gold and copper coins. If he didn't use them for investment, wouldn't he be sorry for his title of "Little Prince of Funds" in his previous life?Although it hurts to lose, but the momentum must be created!

Now that the letter is finished, it's time to get down to business.

Taking out the Tiandao Destiny Diary, Lu Yan started today's daily routine.

[Recently, I don’t know if it’s because Diao Chan moved here, but I always feel that my luck has improved. 】
