Chapter 84 It's a joy to be needed
In May, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the typhoid fever epidemic was basically under control. Typhoid bacilli are afraid of light, heat, dryness and disinfectant environments, so it is difficult to survive the hot summer.
Of course, it was also because of Cao Ang's series of measures that limited the development of the typhoid epidemic, so the lives of countless ordinary people who could not survive the epidemic were saved.
For a time, Cao Ang had the reputation of "the god descending to earth" around Luoyang City.
Of course, Cao Ang himself was not intoxicated by this kind of reputation. He had already restored his stable life and continued to live a life of Cao family and Lu family.

And work harder than before.
As history progressed step by step, Cao Ang's sense of crisis became more and more intense. In his subconscious, he was afraid and worried about the troubled times in the future, so he became more and more anxious to enrich himself in an attempt to grab the throat of fate.
The results of the negotiations between Cao Ang and Xia Yu were quickly implemented.
Xia Yu sent over fifty households of his old troops, mostly disabled and elderly veterans. Many of these people were no longer able to go to the battlefield due to their age and health. It would be a burden for Xia Yu to keep him. Since Cao Ang was willing to
, and he was not stingy either.
Cao Ang himself does not dislike these people at all. He does not expect to have these people conquer for him in the future. What he needs is the combat experience and combat skills of these veterans, and then use them to train usable people.
These are real veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and countless deaths, and can quickly help young people who have never been on the battlefield to grow up.
However, how to resettle these fifty households is also a problem.
Cao Ang had no other solution, so he went directly to his grandfather Cao Song and asked his grandfather to give him a manor.
Although it was a bit shameless, it was indeed useful. Cao Song agreed to the matter without asking, and in accordance with Cao Ang's request, he chose the manor in Xiao County (now northwest of Xiao County, Anhui Province).
For the wealthy Cao Song, he could afford ten manors, let alone one.

Moreover, Cao Song was very happy to flirt with his grandson, but unfortunately Cao Ang was too mature, which deprived Cao Song of a lot of fun in cultivation. Moreover, Cao Ang never asked for supplies, so Cao Song had no chance to coax his grandson with money.
When Cao Ang spoke this time, Cao Song's first reaction was that his grandson finally knew that he wanted something from him, so he happily fulfilled Cao Ang's request.
This actually made Cao Ang a little stunned.
Cao Ang had no choice but to tell himself that he only inherited some of his family's things in advance, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Cao Ang did not hide his purpose or the identity of this group of people. After all, he couldn't hide it. Moreover, the aristocratic families actually like to recruit some battlefield veterans as private soldiers. After all, this group of people is indeed useful.
However, Cao Ang ignored the fact that he and Xia Yu ran a horse business together. Since Cao Ang wanted to keep a small treasury for himself, he didn't want his family to know, let alone let his family interfere.
Cao Ang withdrew three million yuan from the account Mi Zhu left for him and gave it to Xia Yu. He was not worried about Xia Yu cheating him, after all, Xia Yu still wanted something from him. And if Xia Yu was really greedy, Cao Ang had a boss
Nong’s grandfather is not afraid that he cannot cure the other party.
Xia Yu arranged for a special confidant to go to Liangzhou to buy horses, but he himself continued to stay in Luoyang to specialize in horses. He did not place all his hopes on the Cao family.
As for the horses that were brought in, Cao Ang planned to consume part of them himself and let Mi Zhu sell the rest for him.
There is a shortage of good horses in the Central Plains, but there is no shortage of rich people. Although Cao Ang thinks that a war horse costing more than 100,000 yuan is too expensive, there is no shortage of people to buy it.

However, letting Mi Zhu help is only temporary. Cao Ang is not prepared to hand over this business to the Mi family. After all, he cannot rely too much on the Mi family.
If you rely too much on the Mi family, it is easy for the other party to fail to recognize the master-slave identity of both parties.
But now Cao Ang really lacks available people, so he has to take it one step at a time.
Cao Song, on the other hand, felt that Cao Ang was busy with all kinds of things all day long, and was afraid that he would have no one to help him, so he assigned ten private soldiers and thirty servants to him, and also gave him a million dollars.ωωw..net
Cao Ang looked at it and thought to himself, "Grandpa is very generous." If you have money, you can be willful.
In fact, Cao Ang didn't know how much money his family had. Anyway, according to history books, he first spent 100 million to buy an official, then Cao Cao raised an army and made an unknown amount of money. Finally, when Cao Song fled for his life, he still had countless money, which was all floating wealth.
You can imagine how rich the Cao family is.
Even if he is not the richest man, he is at least in the top ten.
Cao Ang sometimes wonders why he works so hard to start a business even though he is the fourth generation of super rich people.
However, after taking the money from Cao Song, it covered up the traces of the money Cao Ang got from Mi Zhu.
And with the manor, you have a place to stay.
Although it was not big, this was Cao Ang's first base. The manor was in Pei State, and Cao Ang would definitely not be able to manage it himself. He did not want his grandfather to know everything about the manor, so he borrowed a person from his mother, Ding, to be the manager.
The steward's name is Ding Tong, who is Ding's concubine and a son of the Ding family. He is in his early thirties, knows a few words, is cautious, and is smart and capable. Cao Ang observed him for a long time before choosing him.
Cao Ang originally felt embarrassed to borrow someone from the Ding family, but he didn't expect that the Ding family would be more happy. Not only did he give the person to him, but he also directly gave Cao Ang the deed of sale of Ding Yi's family.
Ding has the same awkwardness as Cao Song. Cao Ang is very nice and filial, but he is too mature to act like a child, so Ding always feels there is something wrong with Cao Ang when they are together.
But today Cao Ang came to borrow someone from her, allowing her to finally feel the feeling of being relied on by her children, and she could not be happy.
Not to mention that Cao Ang wanted to borrow someone from her, even if he wanted her dowry, she was willing to give it at this time.
Seeing Ms. Ding's beaming face, Cao Ang also felt that he was a little too reserved and utilitarian in getting along with his family before.
Home is home, it should be warm and relaxing.
With Ding Tong, Cao Ang borrowed a counting house from Mi Zhu to manage his accounts.
As a wealthy businessman, the most important thing Mi Zhu lacked was an accountant. Not only did he not shirk the responsibility, he also gave him four. The most important thing is that Mi Zhu was very happy in the letter.

Cao Ang was a little confused, what was going on, how could he give me something, and he was even happier than himself.
Later, Cao Ang was a little belatedly aware that this relationship requires frequent contact. You help me and I help you, so that we can become closer.
What makes Mi Zhu happy is not that he borrowed things, but that the relationship between the Mi family and the Cao family has become closer.
Thinking of this, Cao Ang wrote to Mi Zhu. If Mi Zhu was willing, he could send one of his sons to study at Fengshi Mountain College and he would make a recommendation.
Cao Ang also understood that he could not completely control Mi Zhu with just the original salt recipe. After all, relying on this recipe, the Mi family's energy in Xuzhou also expanded. He also had to make Mi Zhu feel his importance.
