Chapter 235 Suspected by sister-in-law

Chapter 236 Suspected by sister-in-law

"What do I know? I don't know who you are, but it's definitely not Wen Chou's daughter. I'm from Jizhou. If Wen Chou has a talented daughter like you, how can I not know?" Zhen Mi said disdainfully.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell him, but he must have suspected it a long time ago, but he didn't want to force you."

After Wenjiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel troubled: "It's hard to say who I am as Cai Wenji. At that time, he worked hard to find Cai Wenji's whereabouts. I was by his side, but I didn't tell him. Now..."

Regardless of Wenjiao's entanglements, the spring of Jian'an's 15th year has arrived.

Half a month from the New Year's Eve to the New Year's Eve is the most leisurely time. Cao Chong had this banquet in Xudu and met a few friends.The days were quickly over.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Cao Chong did not set off to return to Luoyang, but sent a letter to Pang Tong, Wen Jiao and others, asking them to take charge of the spring plowing in Luoyang, and began to plan this year's collection and collection statistics.

Cao Chong himself, disguised and sneaked to Wuyang County.

As for the development of the big salt mine, Cao Chong still decided to go and see it for himself.

"Young master, we have already paid a high price to buy the land in this area, is there any problem?" The person who asked the question was Bai Qi, the captain of the school affairs office, who is in charge of one of the areas around the salt mine.

"No problem? You just bought back the land where the salt mine was mined. I want you to control the land around the entire salt mine." Cao Chong said.

"Young master, this movement is too loud, and it is easier to attract attention. Didn't you say not to attract others' attention?"

"Then make the commotion as loud as possible and get everyone involved. I want the gentry forces in these villages to be completely emptied, and there should be no leftovers." Cao Chong ordered.

"Has the new county magistrate arrived?" Cao Chong asked again.

"It's here, it's been here years ago, and we've already had contact."

"That's good. He will take care of you officially and act carefully."

"As ordered!"

"Is this the address of the salt factory you chose?" Cao Chong and the others came to a small river.

"Yes, they were selected exactly according to the young master's instructions. The river water can drive waterwheels, and the transportation is convenient, and it is not far from the salt mine."

"Can a boat sail on river water?"

"Yes, this subordinate has already tried it. Now in the dry season, you can take a ten-stone boat and go straight to Wushui."

"Just those two boats?"

"Yes."

"Go, get on the boat and go to Wushui Ferry."

Everyone boarded the boat and headed towards Wushui.

"Has anyone from the north been here?" Cao Chong asked on the boat.

"I've been here before. I thought the river was too shallow, and said it was inconvenient to transport coal. But young master, the river near the salt mine is bigger. If you are looking for a bigger one, it will be far away."

"How big a boat can go on this river in summer?"

"At least fifty shi. I haven't tried it yet, but I have seen boats running on this river, and I have asked folks, at least fifty shi. Young master, do you really want to transport coal from your father's city?"

"Nonsense, how much fuel does it take to boil salt! Coal is much more useful than wood, haven't you seen it?" Cao Chong asked.

"My subordinates have seen it, and it is really easy to use. It was shipped so far away, and my subordinates are worried that someone will make trouble."

"Hehe! You are smart, but there are many Fucheng, Xiangcheng, Xia County, and Yu County to the north of Shitan. I will send people to protect you along the way."

After Cao Chong took people to look around the salt mine and salt factory, he went to Fucheng to check the coal mining situation. Coal and coal stoves had already been sold in Fucheng and several nearby counties.

Unlike the salt mine, Cao Chong decided not to earn coal money here, but to give it to the local gentry. Anyway, there is a lot of coal, and this is a coal warehouse in the Central Plains.

Unlike later generations, the Ru River and its tributaries now have a large flow of water, and the coal dug out can go directly down the Ru River.

After watching everything, Cao Chong continued to stay in Wuyang, and was in no hurry to return to Xudu and Luoyang.

Cao Chong is waiting for Huang She, Liu Xiu, Zhang Pan and others to come to Wuyang, as well as Yi Ji.

Huang She, Liu Xiu, Zhang Pan and others escaped from Xiakou with the help of the school affairs office, and rested in Xiangyang to help Yiji rebury Liu Qi.

After Liu Qi was buried, Cao Chong asked someone to take them northward, and brought Yi Ji along by the way.

Cao Chong planned to arrange Huang She and others in Wuyang, give them a house in Wuyang, and then divide the land, and at the same time give them a house in Xudu, so that they can go back and forth between Wuyang and Xudu.

These people have nothing now, so we allocated acres of land around Wuyang Salt Mine, and then gave them an official position in Xudu, which is enough to treat them preferentially. Of course, they also need to help Cao Chong maintain the stability around the salt mine.

Huang She and others readily accepted Cao Chong's arrangement.

"Mr. Yi Ji, your name is like a thunderbolt. It is a great honor to meet you today." After arranging for Huang She and the others, Cao Chong came to see Yi Ji.

"Young master's name, I've heard of it in Jingzhou, and he's worthy of being a young hero!"

After Yiji was extremely disappointed with Liu Daer and resigned, he didn't have a specific place to go, so Cao Chong asked Huang She and Liu Xiu to bury Liu Qi together to build up their relationship, and then took him to the north with him.

Yiji didn't have a good impression of Lao Cao at first, and the same with Cao Chong, but under the continuous persuasion of Liu Xiu and others, he reluctantly agreed.

When Yi Ji was under Liu Da'er, he admired Cao Chong's methods, heard a lot about Cao Chong, and was very curious about this teenager.

As soon as we met today, as Yi Ji said, he is indeed a young hero.

"Old man, thank you young master for giving me the car."

Yi Ji liked the carriage Cao Chong sent him very much. It is really not a good feeling to travel in winter. With a carriage with a coal stove, it is much easier.

"Mr. has been exhausted all the way, and Chong knows that the food here is not bad, so I asked Chong Lue to prepare some thin wine. How about going to get rid of the cold?"

Yiji thought for a while and agreed: "Then let the young master break the meeting."

Yiji resigned in a fit of anger after being disappointed with Liu Daer, but after he actually wandered outside for a few days, he felt bored again.

He resigned hastily and left without making a plan for his future life, nor did he think about what he would do in the future?Looking for a place to live in seclusion for the elderly?But I guess I'm in my forties!
He has been working hard for Jingzhou for most of his life, and suddenly he has nothing to do, and he immediately feels a little confused.

Then a little curiosity about Cao Chong played its main role. Since Cao Chong wanted to show his hospitality, I went to see it myself.

When Cao Chong tormented Liu Da'er, Yi Ji was by Liu Da'er's side, and he knew exactly how much Cao Chong had dealt Liu Da'er a blow.

No matter who, he will be curious about a boy who is only 15 years old, but can make a generation of hero Liu Daer toss and vomit blood.

Eating mutton hot pot with good wine in winter is really enjoyable!
"Sure enough, as the young master said, the food is indeed delicious!" Yi Ji was satisfied.

He has never eaten at Liu Da'er's!
