Just as the fast horse was about to run into Chen Yang, the knight immediately pulled the reins and stopped forcibly.

Despite this, Chen Yang's thin body was still scared to take a few steps back, and then he sat on the ground with his feet unstable.

What's even more tragic is that the honey pot in Chen Yang's hand actually came out at this time, which was the honey he bought with great difficulty.

At this critical moment, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and another graceful figure flashed in front of Chen Yang. She reached out to catch the falling honey pot.

Seeing this, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and finally saved it.

This slim figure is the woman who almost hit Chen Yang by horse.

The woman looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing close-fitting clothes suitable for riding horses and showing off her perfect figure. The first feeling she gave Chen Yang was that she was heroic and cool.

However, Chen Yang was very angry now, and shouted: "Damn! Do you understand the traffic rules? Where are your parents? Let them all come out..."

clang!

Before Chen Yang could finish his words, the woman in front of him suddenly drew her sword out of the sheath, and her cold sword body was pressed against his neck.

Chen Yang was shocked and immediately smiled and said, "Little girl, you have no eyes on the sword. Don't do anything randomly. You must know that killing is illegal."

The woman stared at Chen Yang and snorted disdainfully: "You dare to say you want to see my parents?"

Just looking at it at such a close distance, Chen Yang suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was still a stunning beauty.

Although she is not old, she is graceful and has a perfect figure. As she breathes, she will be able to get up and down somewhere in her heart, which is very spectacular.

Especially her charming peach blossom eyes, Chen Yang looked at her for a long time and was almost fascinated by her and could not divert her eyes.

"I'm still a prodigal son. Look at it again, I'll dig out your eyes!" the woman said coldly.

After saying that, she threw the honey pot back to Chen Yang, and turned her back on her horse, and her movements were smooth.

"Next time, I will definitely hit you to death!"

The woman snorted again and then rode her horse away, but the speed was much slower than before, as if she didn't dare to rush around again.

Chen Yang looked at her leaving back, then slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "Little girl, don't let me see you again, otherwise I will definitely smash your butt!"

Scolding, Chen Yang returned to the tavern, but saw a man looking inside outside the tavern.

"Who are you?" Chen Yang shouted loudly when he saw it.

He just thought it was a thief!

The man was Dian Wei. He turned around and looked at him and said in surprise: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are finally back."

Dian Wei laughed at first, and then he quickly bowed: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen for helping you!"

"Why are you?"

Chen Yang felt relieved. Fortunately, he was not a thief, but he asked in confusion: "Save life?"

Dian Wei suddenly remembered what Cao Cao said, and wanted to hide his identity. He immediately changed his words: "I am General Dian Wei's cousin. I was there in the battle in Wancheng. If it weren't for Manager Chen, you were so imaginary, as General Dian Wei's personal soldier, I wouldn't have come back to Xu Du."

"I see!"

Chen Yang suddenly realized and smiled and said, "Then you are Lao Dian, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Dian Wei naturally wanted it and nodded repeatedly, "This time, in addition to coming to thank Manager Chen for his life-saving grace, I will have a drink with you."

When Chen Yang heard another guest coming to him, he looked at him and asked, "Drink? Are you rich?"

Dian Wei smiled and took out several coins of money and said, "Last time in Wancheng, I also made contributions. The Prime Minister gave me a lot of rewards!"

Seeing that Dian Wei was really rich, Chen Yang said happily: "It's good to have money, today's wine is enough. I have a good wine recently, which is very delicious. I guarantee you will like it!"

"really?"

As an excellent old alcoholic, when Dian Wei heard that there was good wine, he immediately urged Chen Yang to open the door and go in quickly.

Chen Yang first collected the money for the wine and then gave Dian Wei wine.

Just after Dian Wei took this first sip of wine, he felt that his entire soul had been sublimated.

"Good wine!"

Dian Wei said in shock: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are really amazing. I have never drunk such good wine. It's so good!"

...

In this day, Chen Yang's few stocks were about to be emptied by Dian Wei.

After finally waiting until the evening, Chen Yang sent away the drunk Dian Wei and had to make some wine for later use.

However, the next day, Dian Wei came to drink again, and he was addicted to drinking.

This is not a big deal about Dian Wei, it is really that Chen Yang’s wine is so delicious.

In the next half month, Dian Wei would run into the tavern as long as he was fine, and occasionally he would pull Cao Ang to come.

Cao Ang was obsessed with Chen Yang's wine, and he was drunk every time before going back.

During this period, Chen Yang will not be idle either.

He has begun to initially purify the stones brought back from the salt mine.

After struggling for several days, Chen Yang got a small bowl of fine salt, which was considered successful. Next, he had to find a way to get the salt mine and start mass production.

Because there were strict restrictions on salt in ancient times, Chen Yang had to start with Lao Cao if he wanted to sell salt openly. After all, he was a relative of Boss Cao.

However, in the past half a month, Lao Cao hadn't come to drink, and Chen Yang was a little anxious when he waited.

Today, Dian Wei came to find Chen Yang again.

"I said Lao Dian, you have spent all the rewards you gave to you on this wine. Do you still have to drink?"

Chen Yang glanced at Dian Wei and said while keeping accounts.

Old Dian Wei blushed. He took a bottle of wine from Chen Yang's counter without hesitation and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, we will not have any wine in a short while. I will come this time and plan to drink enough money!"

He sat next to Chen Yang, turned his head, glanced at the account book briefly, and smiled: "Since the beginning of spring, it has not rained, and the grain harvest may have been reduced. The Prime Minister ordered that the entire Xu stop brewing."

Hearing this, Chen Yang calculated the time. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. It was indeed not raining. As he said half a month ago, there would be a spring drought.

Making wine requires food. If there is not enough food, you cannot make wine. Wouldn't you be greedy for this old scripture?

Half a month ago, Chen Yang reminded Lao Cao to reserve grain, but he was too lazy to care about the subsequent situation. Anyway, he had enough grain.

Even with wine, Chen Yang prepared a lot, enough for him to prepare.

"I still have a lot of stocks. As long as Lao Dian, you have money, you can drink wine at will, but..."

Chen Yang said, and showed the account book to Dian Wei: "Lao Dian, you still owe me a lot of money for alcohol, I remember it!"

Chen Yang's accounting method is still using the modern one. Dian Wei and him have been together for a long time and often read Chen Yang's accounting, so he can understand the numbers above.

What kind of Arabic numerals are that curved, they look simple and easy to understand.

Dian Wei threw the account book aside and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I have a good way to make money now. I guarantee that I can pay back the money for the wine. Are you interested?"

Hearing that he could make money, Chen Yang's eyes lit up: "What good way do you have?"

"Of course it's to earn the prime minister's reward."

Dian Wei stopped drinking wine. He sat upright and said, "Now, we will not fight in Xuzhou for the time being. So many soldiers are raising food. It doesn't rain that day, and the Prime Minister is worried about the issue of grain harvest. They think about reclaiming a large amount of wasteland in Xudu to grow grain. However, reclaiming requires people. Now there are not enough farmers. The Prime Minister is preparing to use all the soldiers to reclaim farming and no longer train troops."

"At present, the counselors around the Prime Minister are quarreling about this matter. Some people even say that they should increase taxes and collect food as soon as possible, so that they will not delay training and fight at any time."

"Shopkeeper Chen, which of these two methods do you think is better? Otherwise, you can give me some tricks and give them to the Prime Minister. If it works, you will definitely get some rewards?"

It turns out that the idea of ​​Lao Dian is similar to Lao Cao's.

Chen Yang thought for a long time before saying, "Soldiers go to farm and don't train soldiers, how can they fight in the future?"

"When the two armies fight against each other, they fight for the overall military strength and morale. They train soldiers into farmers, lose their blood and even their morale is greatly weakened. In this way, they will definitely lose! This is definitely not possible."

Chen Yang continued: "The method of increasing taxes is not good. With the current environment, it is tantamount to self-destruction! Throughout history, those who can achieve hegemony have all relied on strong national strength, and the source of this national strength is the people of the world. Only by hiding rich people can they breed endless food and troops. Increasing taxes is equivalent to forcing the people to a dead end and killing chickens to get eggs. This is also not advisable."

Dian Wei was so terrible that he could not understand these words, but he clapped his hands and said, "Although I don't understand, it seems to be very powerful."

Chen Yang rolled his eyes to him. Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled: "Lao Dian, if the Prime Minister just wants to open up the land, I have a tool that I can guarantee that it will succeed. This time the reward will not be eliminated!"
