The baskets of salt were sealed, loaded into trucks and sent away. In order to ensure safety on the road, Chu Nan arranged for a total of 500 people to transport the salt.
"Sir, everything has been arranged. This batch of salt will be delivered to Xiaopei in about ten days." Cao Xing came to Chu Nan and saw Chu Nan standing there in a daze, so he said.
Chu Nan, who was checking the changes in luck, came back to his senses and nodded when he heard this: "I just did the math. The salt produced in the past few days is 30,000 kilograms, which is almost the amount of salt that a county could produce in a month in the past. Continue.
If we go down, there will be no shortage of salt in the state capital."
Xuzhou mainly produces sea salt. Donghai, Guangling and Langya are the three seaside counties that can produce salt. The biggest advantage of the salt drying method is that it can save a lot of manpower. As long as these 1,000 people are needed, it can be worth the cost of the past three counties.
Together, the release of the first batch of salt also means that Lu Bu can extend his hand into finance.
As long as the deal with Yuan Shu is completed, Lu Bu can get out of his current predicament in the next step. However, sending back this batch of salt also means that Ganyu will officially enter the sight of the major families in Xuzhou.
It is impossible to make a fortune.
You have to make arrangements in advance.
"General Hou Cheng still doesn't want to come out?" Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing and asked with a smile.
Cao Xing nodded, but he understood in his heart that Chu Nan was going to resolve the conflict with Hou Cheng. After all, Chu Nan had called him by his first name before, but now he called him General Hou Cheng... it was really a reality.
"Let's go meet him." Chu Nan was in a good mood, or in other words, he was much more relaxed. The pressure on his body was gone, and there were naturally more things to do next.
"Sir, are you ready to take action against Zhang Yuan?" Cao Xing quickly followed Chu Nan.
"At most, it's self-protection. I won't take the initiative to target anyone." Chu Nan looked at Cao Xing with a serious face and said.
But if the other party takes the initiative to provoke me, and I am forced to resist helplessly, it is another matter~
Cao Xing followed Chu Nan and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sir, General Hou Cheng has no ill will towards you, but he is just a little unhappy. Now that your matter has been taken care of, and everyone is working for the Lord, do you think..."
Cao Xing's meaning is very clear. After all, they are all colleagues. Some conflicts are normal, but it is completely unnecessary to turn against each other because of this. After all, Hou Cheng has been a confidant general who has followed Lu Bu for many years. If there is a good or bad relationship, Lu Bu will definitely not like it. What is happening now
Now that it has been initially successful, there is no need to look for trouble again.
If Chu Nan wants to deal with Zhang Yuan, Cao Xing can naturally help, but if Chu Nan wants to deal with Hou Cheng, Cao Xing really doesn't want to get involved.
"Don't worry, I'm not taunting him by going to see him." Chu Nan waved his hand. Only children talk about grievances. Adults only look at the pros and cons. It's impossible for them to really kill Hou Cheng. Firstly, he doesn't have the ability. Secondly, even if
With this ability, the conflict between the two parties does not reach the point of life and death, and it is not easy to explain to Lu Bu.
Since you can't kill him, don't offend him to death. This is Chu Nan's experience gained from struggling in society in his previous life.
The two of them came to the camp where Hou Cheng was, one after the other.
Hou Cheng was bored and depressed.
Naturally, he was not willing to be a lieutenant for a young man, not to mention the ridiculous level of the other party's army. But these days, he also realized that this little Jin Cao named Chu Nan should have some talent for commanding troops, so he let his subordinates
The soldiers were able to obey his orders, and he who was prepared to give the opponent a blow ended up becoming a joke.
But the opponent's ability to command troops is really rubbish. Not to mention comparing with himself, any military commander under Lu Bu's command would be better than him.
Hou Cheng carried the wine jar and took a sip of wine depressedly. Now it was useless to talk about it. He was actually deprived of military power by Jin Cao, who was not good at military affairs. This was probably the shame of his life.
There was a movement of troops and horses today, and a team of horses pulled the salt cart away. Hou Cheng was a little jealous when he saw the baskets of salt, and he felt a little regretful in his heart. Jin Cao was not good at commanding troops, but he could really make salt. If he had not provoked him,
In this matter, the benefit was indispensable to me. The Lord asked me to come here just to share the benefit, but unfortunately, that boy Cao Xing got it.
"General, Chu Jincao is outside the tent." A soldier came in and saluted Hou Chengyi.
"What is he here for?" A flash of anger flashed in Hou Cheng's eyes. In his opinion, Chu Nan's coming at this time was just to ridicule and humiliate him: "No."
"This..." The guard wanted to persuade him. After all, the other party was in charge of the army now and had Lu Bu's trust. If possible, it would be better to mend the relationship.
But before the personal guard's words of persuasion were spoken, the curtain had already been raised. Chu Nan came in with Cao Xing and said with a smile: "General Hou, you and I are colleagues in any case. It's not good to be shut out like this.
.”
"What are you doing here?" Hou Cheng snorted and looked at Chu Nandao.
"Discuss with the general how to report this matter to Marquis Wen." Chu Nan smelled the smell of alcohol in the tent and said with a smile.
Hou Cheng frowned and looked at Chu Nan. Does the credit have anything to do with him?
"After all, the general is here with me this time. General Cao has also said a lot of good things about General Hou in the past few days. You and I have no grudges at all, and I am not a person who can't be ignored, so I can take credit for this time.
I think it would be better for the three of me to take it together." Chu Nan looked at Hou Cheng.
Hou Cheng looked at Chu Nan suspiciously and said nothing.
Chu Nan also looked at the other person, focusing on him.
Hou Cheng
Destiny number 59

Talent: Marching (Level 4) can increase marching speed
Divine power (Level 3) has power beyond the limits of ordinary people. Through practice, the power can be improved far beyond the limits of ordinary people.
Luck 1045+1672
Because Chu Nan had taken away the military power, the morale of Sanqian was transferred to Chu Nan. Most of the luck belonging to the army had obviously dissipated in these days.
Hou Cheng finally looked away from Chu Nan, cupped his fists and saluted, "Well, thank you Jin Cao."
No matter what, they came with good intentions. Although Hou Cheng still resented Chu Nan for embarrassing him, at this time, he took the initiative to show his kindness. He had done nothing, and he had received a share of the credit, so he couldn't treat others any more.
Aggressive.
"I get most of the credit for making the salt, but there is another part of the credit that I want to give to the general. I wonder what the general wants?" Chu Nan smiled casually, a little disappointed with Hou Cheng's talent. Two talents marched together.
One increases combat power. It seems that in terms of combat power, it is not better than Cao Xing, but Cao Xing focuses more on personal bravery, while Hou Cheng has the talent to command troops.
However, if there is a method of cultivation in addition to the natural ability, then it has to be considered separately. Hou Cheng is nearly ten years older than Cao Xing. With a ten-year gap and similar talents, Hou Cheng is more powerful than Cao Xing.
That's understandable.
This is just like when Lu Bu appeared at Hulao Pass and was at full level, he was able to overwhelm Guan Zhang. Now Guan and Zhang have been fighting for many years. Although they are still not as good as Lu Bu in single combat, the gap is no longer as obvious as it was at Hulao Pass.
.
"Oh?" Hou Cheng frowned and looked at Chu Nan: "What's the credit?"
