"Senior brother, are you talking about using money to enslave foreign races?"
Fu Qian looked at Cao Ang in surprise. This plan was so surprising.
"That's right, and it's the kind that makes them willing! If it succeeds, your father will be able to smile."
"But? Senior brother, how can we make them willing?"
"Temptation! The temptation of money! Aren't they nomadic? Let's buy their cattle and sheep and let them take the initiative to help us raise cattle and sheep. Let them know that without us, no one will give them money anymore. This will be enough to make them happy.
They gave up plundering and turned to serving us!"
"But senior brother? Where do we get the money?"
"Hey! The first step to building a business empire—making wine!"
"liquor?"
"You go and find my dad first. We have to build a workshop first..."
Cao Cao was still very efficient in his work. In just two days, he bought three acres of land less than five miles away from Cao Ang.
With these three acres of land and Cao Ang's drawings, the house was built in three days.
To be on the safe side, Cao Ang also asked Cao Cao to surround the three acres of land.
Although he had little understanding, Cao Cao still did what Cao Ang wanted.
On the day the wall was built, Cao Ang informed Cao Cao of his plan. Under Cao Cao's stunned expression, Cao Ang once again threw the problem to Cao Cao.
"Dad, go buy me a pot! A big pot! As big as you want! Iron pipes, thick and long ones. I also want a few old craftsmen, the kind that you can understand at a glance..."
Just when Cao Cao was busy shopping for Cao Ang, he ran into Xu Huang, which made Cao Cao ecstatic!
"Gongming! You have a close friendship with Zixiu. Recently, Xiu wants to make wine. However, I am really busy with military affairs and am unable to take care of myself. How about? Gongming go and cooperate with me for a while?"
After following Huangfu Song back, Xu Huang was so idle that his balls ached.
When he suddenly heard that something had been done, he naturally accepted it happily, but he still had to ask someone.
"Huh? You said Zixiu wants to make wine? Meng De has no time to ask you to cooperate?"
"Yes, General, do you think so?"
"There is really nothing to do during this period. You may as well go and take a look at what the grandson means by making wine if he doesn't study hard! If he fails, I will have a reason to beat him again!"
"Here..."
"I wonder why Zixiu makes wine?"
Cao Ang was very happy when Xu Huang appeared again after a long absence. After all, they were brothers who had stayed together in the military camp.
Although Xu Huang's mission to find Jia Xu failed, it cannot be said that Xu Huang didn't think about it because Jia Xu came to his door.
"Of course it's to make money."
"Is your Cao family short of money?"
"Gongming hates money?"
"I……"
Cao Ang rolled his eyes, leaving Xu Huang speechless.
After basically getting everything together, the first modern brewing method of the Han Dynasty began.
Since it is in the experimental stage, we need to make the distiller’s yeast first.
Cao Ang, Xu Huang, and Fu Qian were like two donkeys grinding the dried wheat into dregs.
No need to guess why it looks like two donkeys.
The reason "I'm still a child..." made Xu Huang and Fu Qian endure it for nearly a day!
The three of them watched with pleasure as the fruits of their labor were poured into the yeast that had been soaked for several hours.
After mixing, pour it into the prepared mold and seal it.
The next days are to wait for a month, and the koji is finished.
"Then? Let's do nothing this month?"
Fu Qian was a little discouraged when he heard that it would take another month or so to form the distiller's yeast.
Cao Ang grinned and led Fu Qian and Xu Huang into the covered room.
A thick piece of brocade cloth appeared in front of Xu Huang and Fu Qian.
From the beginning, Cao Ang had developed a series of means to get rich.
Brewing, perfume, soap, candles, glycerin, etc. can be done in one process or at the same time.
"Brother Gongming, I need someone!"
"how many people?"
"A lot! These three acres of land are just a prototype. When they are spread out in the future, they will need a larger place and more people."
"Does this Zixiu still remember the brothers we trained together?"
"Of course! What's wrong?"
"We originally had a strength of three thousand people, but now there are less than two thousand people left in the army."
"This...did they all die in battle?"
After listening to Xu Huang's words, Cao Ang's eyes flashed back to the faces of his fellow trainees.
Cao Ang couldn't pronounce most of their names, but familiar faces passed before Cao Ang's eyes one by one.
"Some are dead, some are injured. Those injured... only get a small pension, but they can no longer work in the fields!"
"Zixiu, look? If we need people, can we let them come here to do some work?"
"Don't worry, I will find people who can do the heavy work as much as possible. Others who are missing arms and legs will definitely not..."
"Brother Gongming! I want them all! The court won't support them! I will!"
Cao Ang interrupted Xu Huang's words, his eyes flashing brightly, this fucked up era, this cheating court!
Cao Ang can't do anything now, he can only use his own meager power to help some people who can help.
Soon! Soon!
End this troubled world as soon as possible! End this cannibalistic society as soon as possible!
When there is civil strife in the imperial court! That will be the day when I, Cao Ang, will show off my talents...
"this!"
Xu Huang's eyes were also moist. He just wanted to help a bunch of those Pao Ze as much as possible, but he didn't expect Cao Ang to be so generous.
"X! On behalf of those people, I would like to thank Zixiu!"
"Brother Gongming, please stop by and ask the widows of those who died in the war how they are doing. If it is difficult for them to survive, I want them here too!"
"Zixiu! This...this..."
"Stop talking and go quickly. I'm afraid I will change my mind..."
Cao Ang turned around and saw Fu Qian writing and drawing on the paper. He swallowed hard when he saw the final number.
The figures written by Fu Qian were very simple. Based on five hundred people, to provide them with the minimum living conditions, each person would need to be given one thousand yuan per month, which is about eighty kilograms of grain.
Five hundred people would have to spend half a million dollars every month...
Buying cakes!
"Don't do it? I think we don't have to spend so much money to take care of the food, right?"
"Haha... Senior brother! That's not what you said to Brother Gongming just now!"
"Don't do it? How about you go to Xuzhou? Tell Lord Mi Zhu that I have another masterpiece here that has been passed down for generations..."
…
"A certain Dianwei!"
"A certain Yanliang!"
"Someone is ugly!"
"Would you two choose to fight alone or in a group?"
"What is a one-on-one fight? What is a group fight?"
"Haha! In a single fight, I will beat you two! In a group fight, you two will beat me!"
In Shijia Village, Feng County, Jizhou, Dian Wei held up his two halberds and looked at the two strong men with disdain in his eyes.
On the other hand, Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't react for a while and looked at Dian Wei blankly. They needed to digest what Dian Wei said just now.
Coincidentally, Wen Chou was originally from a wealthy family in Jizhou. When passing through Feng County, he heard that there was a local hero who was considered invincible.
Curiosity led Wen Chou to come here, and he and Yan Liang became close friends.
The next day, the strong man in front of him, followed by young people, one big and one small, entered the village and looked for Yan Liang directly.
"Brother Dian? How about we go 2v2?"
Taishi Ci, who was following Dian Wei, looked at the two strong men in front of him and was a little worried about Dian Wei.
Chapter completed!
