Everyone unanimously handed over the affairs of the Zhongyuan Grain Store to Zhong Yan, who had no official status. After all, everyone else had their own tasks and did not have time to spend too much time on financial issues.
After the incident, He Yan also brought his little secretary Lu Xun to the Xuchang County Yamen. He was going to start showing off his skills, but unexpectedly, Cao Pi blocked the door with a look of resentment.
"Cao Zhen? Who is it?"
"Uncle Zilian's son!"
"Oh, Uncle Cao Hong's son!"
He Yan suddenly realized: "I'm not making money with Cao Zhen, I'm doing business with Uncle Cao Hong."
Cao Pi didn't care what happened: "I want to do business too!"
"You're here to help me teach!"
"No! I want to make money!"
After reflecting on his life, Cao Pi's thinking has obviously improved a lot, and he knows that he cannot be a carefree rich second generation, a weighted second generation and a second generation in the military... but an ordinary person with a sound personality!
To be an ordinary person, you must be self-reliant! For example, let He Yan lead him to earn 180 million casually...
"Are you dreaming?"
He Yan rejected Cao Pi without hesitation: "I let you teach because you have some literary talent; but if I let you do business, can you afford it?"
Cao Pi knew how rich Cao Hong's family was, and he also knew how rich He Yan was. Compared with these two rich men, Cao Pi himself had no capital at all.
However, Cao Pi didn't give up. He tugged on He Yan's sleeve and said, "Why don't you lend me some first?"
He Yan's eyes became strange: "Good guy, use my money to do your business?"
“I’ll pay you back when I’ve earned it!”
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"..."
Cao Pi gritted his teeth: "I won't lose anything by following you!"
"When did you have so much confidence in me?"
He Yan was a little surprised by Cao Pi's change: "According to the past, shouldn't you say 'Who cares?' and then go to others to borrow money?"
"I borrowed it, but Uncle Cao Hong didn't give it to me..."
"..."
There was a hint of silence in the air, and against it was He Yan's white eyes that had rolled up to the sky.
"He Yan!"
Cao Pi said righteously: "Help me this time! One day I will become richer than Uncle Cao Hong! Then I will kill him with money!"
He Yan sighed.
Don't make trouble.
In the past, it was difficult for Cao Pi to catch up with Cao Hong in terms of wealth. Now that Cao Hong has opened a Zhongyuan Grain Store with him, his future wealth will inevitably expand like a snowball. Unless Cao Pi goes to rob a bank, he might as well avoid it.
"uh-huh?"
He Yan suddenly thought of something, and made a promise to Cao Pi: "When you finish helping me these days, I will teach you how to make money."
Cao Pi's eyes widened: "How much money can you make?"
"If it can really be done, ten Cao Hongshus can't compare to one of your hairs."
"make a deal!"
Cao Pi rubbed his hands excitedly: "Let's go! I'll teach you!"
"What's the rush? I'm still busy here."
He Yan took Cao Pi into the county government office: "Help me handle the government affairs first."
As the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, Xuchang was not the turn of Xuchang Ling to take care of big things every day, and Xuchang Ling did not dare to take care of small things. After being complacent, Xuchang County Yamen actually accumulated a lot of cases.
Although He Yan's first priority as Xu Changling was to engage Kong Rong, and his second priority was to engage in new learning, this did not mean that he could just let go of his own work.
"Bo Yan, I leave it to you!"
He asked the county government officials to bring the thick files, and He Yan pushed them directly to Lu Xun.
"Try the cases one by one. If you are unsure, ask Cao Pi to help you."
Later Lu Xun became famous for winning the Battle of Yiling, but he himself had been working as Sun Quan's secretary before he went out to lead the army in the war. Managing a county was a piece of cake for Lu Xun.
With Lu Xun's ability and Cao Pi's tiger skin, I'm afraid there really won't be any issues in Xuchang County.
"Then what are you doing?"
Cao Pi conducted soul questioning.
"I provide you with services."
"oh?"
Cao Pi showed an extremely evil expression: "In the past or in the future?"
"Do you want to die?"
Seeing He Yan throwing a handful of bamboo slips at him, Cao Pi quickly hid behind Lu Xun, trying to block the blow with Lu Xun's fragile body.
But He Yan did not throw these bamboo slips to Cao Pi, but directly threw them to the ground.
"It's too heavy. I won't be able to control other places in the future. The Xuchang County Government Office will implement paper-based office work for me."
Paper is expensive? Then open a paper factory!
As long as there is demand, there will be supply, and everything will fall into place.
"Also... these cases are all thrown away. Are they kept so low for fear that the officials will not get cervical spondylosis?"
In an era when there were no tables, chairs, or benches, everyone had to sit in front of short desks to work, which was a huge torture to the officials' cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
Replace the desks and tables and replace them all with tables and chairs. In this way, doesn’t the demand for this furniture disappear?
Demand brings supply.
Supply, bring production.
production, bringing about a new era.
Start with pots and pans, start with food, clothing, housing and transportation.
In this way, the world described by Xinxue may really come to this ancient land!
When Cao Pi heard that He Yan actually opened a He's Paper Factory and a He's Furniture Factory specifically for this purpose, he was a little confused.
"You opened a factory just to make tables, chairs and benches?"
"It was for these tables, chairs and benches that I opened this factory!"
Seeing that Cao Pi had not yet understood the true meaning of his new learning, He Yan felt that Cao Pi was completely hopeless...
Putting the tables and chairs produced on the assembly line in front of Cao Pi: "Go up and try it."
Cao Pi, like all the natives of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had been sitting on his knees since he was a child. Now that he experienced a normal sitting posture for the first time, Cao Pi immediately trembled.
"What is this? So comfortable!"
Cao Pi leaned back on the chair, almost moaning from the comfort.
"He Yan! I feel so good!"
"If you yell again, I will tear your mouth open!"
Cao Pi sat upright on the chair, sat backwards, squatted down... He was having so much fun by himself that He Yan was so annoyed that he wanted to kick him out.
What the two of them didn't notice was that the little secretary Lu Xun, who had been busy for several days, came to the two of them with hesitant steps and submitted a file to He Yan.
"Marquis Shen..."
"Ahem! Boyan, you must call your duties when you work!"
"Okay, County Magistrate He..."
"Forget it, it doesn't sound good to the county magistrate, you should just call me Marquis Shen."
"Okay, Marquis Shen..."
Lu Xun knew the character of his boss, so he didn't pay much attention to it and directly showed the file to He Yan.
"Let me see what case you, Lu Boyan, can't handle...huh?"
Cao Pi was a little excited: "Is it some ignorant dandy who committed a crime? Let me go, let me go! I will beat him to death!"
"No, and you really can't handle this person."
He Yan believed that there was currently no one in Xuchang City that he could quarrel with, but when he saw this name, He Yan couldn't help but get a headache.
