Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"Okay, okay, you came to me suddenly, what's the matter?" Chen Yang didn't care about the interruption just now.

Cao Ang said: "The craftsmen and iron mines that father promised to give you have all been sent, and there are three thousand war horses outside."

Hearing this, all of Chen Yang's unhappiness disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Old Cao's movements are so fast? Tell them to send them in quickly!"

Chen Yang was very excited at the thought of being able to make a powerful weapon like a steel crossbow. He was gearing up and eager to try.

Soon, one hundred craftsmen and more than 20 carts of iron ore were transported into the factory.

Chen Yang didn't specify how many craftsmen he wanted, Cao Cao was very loyal, and sent him 100 people directly, probably finding all the famous craftsmen for him.

Settle the horses first, let the soldiers take them to the school grounds, and then Chen Yang settles the craftsmen.

"Ye Shun, arrange a place for all the craftsmen to live."

After Chen Yang gave the order, he first brought all the craftsmen to the door of the dormitory of the factory, and then showed them the blueprints of the bows and crossbows.

He was also worried that the craftsmen of this era would not be able to understand. Chen Yang explained every structure of the crossbow in detail to ensure that everyone could understand it.

Then, Chen Yang found out that there were only salt furnaces in his factory, but no iron furnaces, so he immediately went to find someone to build a batch of usable furnaces according to the needs of the craftsmen.

After confirming all this, Chen Yang selected 500 people from the salt factory, and they each helped [-] artisans.

The first batch of bows and crossbows Chen Yang wanted to build as soon as possible and equip them with the current army, so he divided the craftsmen into two batches.

One group is in charge of making steel crossbows, and the other group is in charge of continuous crossbows. There is a division of labor and cooperation without delay.

Starting today, the name of Zhuge Liannu will have to be rewritten, and it will be called...Chen's Liannu.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang was looking forward to it, he wanted to create a new history.

Cao Ang watched Chen Yang being so busy making arrangements, and he looked at the drawings that he couldn't understand, feeling puzzled in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Chen, is the bow and crossbow you made really useful?" Cao Ang asked puzzled.

"In a few days, I will build the first crossbow and test the effect. You will know whether it is useful or not. It will definitely shock you."

Chen Yang handed over the drawings directly to those craftsmen, and let Ye Shun arrange the rest.

The most important thing at present is to let all craftsmen work together to make the first steel crossbow and repeater crossbow.

Cao Ang didn't continue to dwell on this matter too much, he said: "Now that the food has dropped to ninety yuan a stone, can we buy it in large quantities?"

"So fast? You have to wait, don't worry."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "At least let the food price drop below [-] yuan, which will be more beneficial to us."

According to his thinking, of course, the lower the price, the better. As long as Cao Cao is willing to suppress it, it is not impossible for the price to be less than [-] yuan.

Cao Ang shook his head and said: "The grain merchants with less than [-] yuan are losing money. This is very inappropriate. I am afraid that everyone in the world will think that father is very unrighteous!"

Chen Yang said disapprovingly, "What do we need benevolence and righteousness to do in this troubled world? But you're right, if the price is too low, those grain merchants may pour their grain into the moat, and they won't be willing to sell it to us. So be it, no need No matter how low it is, I have to buy a lot of grain, not only to use that to make wine, but also to open my restaurant as soon as possible."

"Eldest son!"

At this moment, a few people suddenly walked into the factory gate. They were all bruised and swollen. They were obviously beaten up.

Cao Ang walked towards them, frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? I didn't ask you to collect money, how could you be beaten?"

Among them, the leader cried: "We were beaten by Uncle Dong's people. They didn't want to pay for the wine. We argued with them if we refused to accept it, and then Uncle Dong led people to beat us!"

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Is it the final payment for our wine?"

Cao Ang said angrily: "That's right, I didn't expect Dong Cheng to be so arrogant that he didn't even want to give our Cao family face."

Chen Yang thought for a while, then asked again: "Is the prime minister still short of money?"

Cao Ang said: "All the money I earned last time was used to buy grain, and I am short of money again. There is still a lot of grain accumulated in Xudu. If those grain merchants can't sell the grain, my father is worried that unnecessary trouble will be caused. , and try to buy all the remaining grain so that they will not lose money."

"If I'm not wrong, Dong Cheng and the others hoarded a lot of food when the price was high. Now that the price of food has dropped sharply, they lost a lot of money, so they withheld our wine money!"

Speaking of this, Cao Ang said angrily: "No, I will go back and discuss with my father. Our wine cannot be sold for nothing, and our people cannot be beaten for nothing."

Chen Yang stopped him directly with a wave of his hand, and said in a deep voice, "It will be too much trouble to go back and find the prime minister, Ye Shun!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Ye Shun will come over immediately.

"Call the soldiers, let's go back to Xudu together, let's go to collect debts!" ​​Chen Yang said loudly.

This time, not only Cao Ang was angry, but he was also very angry.

All the wine has been delivered, how shameless it is to hold back the money for the wine?

Chen Yang also got a share of the wine money, but Dong Cheng and those people dare not give it, so they will kill them until they are willing to give it.

You are not benevolent, so don't blame me, Chen Yang, for being unrighteous.

Young people don't need to talk about martial arts!

Chen Yang got angry, and the consequences were serious.

"What? Shopkeeper Chen is probably inappropriate!" Cao Ang said hastily.

"I'm afraid of a hammer. Xu is the prime minister's territory. We are all the prime minister's people. What's the point of killing a few of them when we go back? They dare not pay them, and just ransack their homes for the final payment!" Chen Yang said coldly, "Ye Shun ,ready to go!"

Chen Yang is not afraid that those aristocratic families dare to resist. The so-called aristocratic families are just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. As long as the methods are strong enough, they can't help them not to give.

What's more, Chen Yang knew that Cao Cao would definitely support him, so that was enough!

Seeing that Chen Yang was telling the truth, Cao Ang was worried that something big would happen, so he quickly sent someone back to tell Cao Cao.

After a while, the whole army assembled, and Chen Yang led the team back to Xudu.

"Xiao Cao, among those who didn't give money this time, did the Sima family also participate?" Chen Yang asked suddenly on the way.

"Yes, he and Dong Cheng worked hand in hand, but shopkeeper Chen, you have to calm down and don't mess around!" Cao Ang said worriedly.

"It's fine, first go to Sima's house to collect debts." Chen Yang snorted coldly, and said, "I've been bullied to the top, so calm down, now I don't want to avenge my revenge, it's a heinous crime."

Ugh!

Cao Ang let out a long sigh in his heart, but while he was frightened, he also felt a little bit excited.

Hanging around with shopkeeper Chen, Cao Ang felt pain and happiness.

"I wonder if those aristocratic families will regret provoking shopkeeper Chen?" Cao Ang thought to himself.

Soon, they arrived at the city of Xudu.

The soldiers guarding the city suddenly saw an army gathering at the foot of the city and rushed towards them, thinking that someone was going to attack Xudu, they were shocked and closed the city gate quickly, and the whole army was ready to fight.

Standing at the bottom of the city, Chen Yang couldn't imagine that he couldn't even enter the city gate.

How to collect debts?
