Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"We met once. Just a few days ago, this lady almost shot me with an arrow."

Chen Yang didn't expect that she was still from Mizhu, and the second time they met, it would be this way.

After hearing Chen Yang's words, the woman got up quickly and said, "I was hunting at that time, and I didn't notice that the general was passing by, and I almost accidentally injured the general, so I ask the general to apologise!"

She was the one who followed Mi Zhu, so at this moment, she naturally knew Chen Yang's identity.

Thinking of the misunderstanding that day, the woman was also at a loss, worrying what Chen Yang would do to her because of that incident.

"It turns out that the person Zhen'er almost accidentally injured that day was Zi'an!"

The woman also mentioned this matter to Mi Zhu, and he said: "Zi An, I would like to apologize to you first, it was just a misunderstanding, and it was not what Zhen'er did on purpose."

Chen Yang didn't take it seriously, he shook his head and said, "If I want to care about it, you have no chance to appear in front of me now."

Hearing this, Mi Zhu and the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they were not hated by Chen Yang.

"You guys came to see me, what's the matter?" Chen Yang said again.

"I'm here to say goodbye this time. The end of the year is approaching. There are still things waiting for me to go back to deal with in Xuzhou, but before I go back, I will leave Zhen'er in Xudu."

Speaking of this, Mi Zhu said again: "My sister's name is Mi Zhen. I will hand over the salt sales to Zhen'er in the future. Zi'an, do you think it's okay?"

The woman named Mizhen listened, and she bowed slightly in front of Chen Yang.

Moose!

Mizhu's younger sister!

Isn't this Liu Bei's Mistress?

Chen Yang has known Mrs. Gan for so long, but he has never met Mrs. Mi.

Therefore, Chen Yang was very curious about where Madam Mi was and what she looked like, but he didn't expect Madam Mi to appear at this time. It seemed that she hadn't married Liu Bei yet.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Yang's mind, of course he would not raise them indiscriminately, nodded and said: "Of course, Zizhong, I will not ask about your family's affairs at will."

Mi Zhu said: "One more thing, I have to thank Zi'an for allowing our Mi family to directly participate in selling salt."

The thing he said was about letting Mi Zhu take their place after Jia Xu and Mi Heng left.

"I can trust your Mo family!"

Chen Yang can indeed trust them, because salt is now the economic lifeline of Xudu, if it is not for trust, he will not let them join.

"Zian, thank you very much!"

Mi Zhu said gratefully.

Afterwards, the two exchanged some polite words, and Mi Zhu took his leave first.

Walking outside the Chen residence, Mi Zhu said, "Zhen'er, what do you think of Chen Zian?"

At this time, Mizhen's expressionless cheeks showed a somewhat complicated look, she just watched her think for a while, and said: "I can't see through him."

Mi Zhu said solemnly: "It's normal that you can't see through, because he is not simple, capable of both literature and martial arts, almost omnipotent. If possible, during the time in Xudu, you can get closer to him, and treat you well." It’s good for our Mo family.”

"Brother, do you want a rare commodity to live in?" Mizhen asked.

"No, you must not think that way, otherwise it will cause trouble for us. Our relationship with him is not to use, but to cooperate with each other."

Mi Zhu thought for a while, and then said: "His future achievements will never stop here. Prime Minister Cao has his support, and I am afraid that the world is also in his pocket. Let's put it this way, comparing him to Zhang Zifang in the early Han Dynasty, it will not be too late. Too much."

After hearing this, Mi Zhu nodded solemnly.

Chen Yang didn't know that the Mi Zhu brothers and sisters also compared themselves to Zhang Liang. After sending him away, he was free at home again.

However, whenever he had nothing to do, Cao Ang would come to him.

"Zian, Mandarin has something to discuss with us."

Cao Ang braved the wind and snow and walked into the Chen Mansion. He said, "Now there are a group of refugees gathered outside the city. The Mandarin hopes that we can take some of them away to relieve his pressure."

Chen Yang did not refuse, nodded and said: "In the spring of the coming year, we will fight Yuan Shao, and our factory also needs to increase manpower to produce weapons. Let's go and have a look and choose a group of suitable refugees to go back."

After a while, Chen Yang arrived near the south gate of Xudu City.

Man Chong built a row of simple thatched sheds here as a temporary settlement for refugees, and nearly [-] refugees have been resettled inside.

To prevent them from causing chaos in Xudu, Man Chong also arranged thousands of soldiers to guard nearby.

After seeing Chen Yang coming, Man Chong hurriedly walked over to him, and said: "Zian, you've come, after the snow, there are more and more refugees, I, Xu Duling, can't handle it anymore, I'll rely on you next time." gone."

"Mandarin, I can only take away 2000 people at most, and I can't do anything if there are more."

When Chen Yang walked to the thatched shed, he felt that the wind and snow around him were a bit heavy, so he tightened his cotton coat.

In contrast, those refugees could only temporarily avoid the wind and snow in the straw hut, but they could not effectively keep out the cold. They all showed envy when they saw Chen Yang's warm cotton padded clothes.

Most of these people were poorly dressed, and some even didn't even have complete warm clothes, which made Chen Yang feel that this troubled world is really miserable.

Coupled with the spring drought at the beginning of the year, the life of these refugees is even more difficult than before.

"I should promote cotton as soon as possible, and try to let ordinary people wear cotton clothes to keep out the cold in a few years!" Chen Yang thought to himself.

"If you can take away 2000 people, my pressure will be relieved a lot. Who do you plan to have?" Man Chong said.

Chen Yang glanced over and said, "The old and young, women and children, and the sick and weak are given priority, and then young and strong men."

In this kind of cold weather, people with poor physique may be frozen to death before entering the city gate of Xudu.

Therefore, there were not many old and young women and children among the refugees, and Chen Yang could accept them all.

Young and strong men are the main labor force in Chen Yang's factory, so naturally they are indispensable.

"Zi'an is kind!"

Man Chong thought that Chen Yang would only take away young and strong men, but he didn't expect Chen Yang to do so.

After more than half an hour, 2000 people were selected by Man Chong.

"Xiao Cao, help me to inform Yuanhua, let him wait for me in the factory first, and the others will accompany me to escort these refugees to the factory." Chen Yang said.

Bringing this group of people from the city to the factory cost Chen Yang nearly an hour.

After arriving at the factory, Chen Yang said again: "Ye Shun, free up the spare dormitory, settle them first, then prepare warm clothes, and order the others to prepare hot food."

"Yes!"

Ye Shun immediately went to make arrangements.

At this time, Hua Tuo had already arrived at the factory, and Chen Yang asked him to treat the sick refugees.

Those refugees were still panicked, worried that Chen Yang would take them to a very bad place.

When they came to the factory and settled down, they realized that they had made a mistake.

Here they can not only avoid the wind and snow, but also have food and clothing, and even some people come to treat their diseases.

Having received various benefits from Chen Yang, these refugees are all grateful to him.

After Chen Yang saw that the refugees had settled down, he said, "Ye Shun, go and count the number of children, and let them study in private schools first. If they don't want to study, or they can't learn well, they can be sent to Yuanhua Medical School." Study medicine in the hospital."

Hearing Chen Yang's order, Ye Shun hurriedly went to make arrangements again.

In the end, Chen Yang looked at the current scale of the factory and murmured: "The factory area must be expanded next year, otherwise it won't be able to accommodate so many people."

At the same time, he was thinking, if possible, he could find a new salt mine to develop.

However, what Chen Yang didn't expect was that among this group of refugees, more than a dozen people kept looking in the direction of the salt factory and the weapon factory.

They seem to be very interested in salt and weapons.
