Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Cao Ang remained silent. A large project that would take three to five years to build would be a waste of time and money. Considering their current strength, they dare not engage in these things.

Today is still a troubled time, with the rise of princes, Cao Cao does not have so much money and resources to build a reservoir.

If one accidentally offends the people, and another Yellow Turban uprising occurs, things will become more serious.

"I also know that this will be more troublesome, so let me remind you first, and then you can discuss with Lao Cao whether you absolutely want to do this."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang took Wang Yue and left the hill.

If you want to build a reservoir, it is not just as simple as finding a suitable terrain, you also need things like reinforced concrete to make a dam.

It’s okay to talk about steel bars, but cement will be more difficult to produce, so Chen Yang has to discuss this matter with Ma Jun, but for now, Ma Jun has to make movable type printing, and then let him study cement.

Cao Ang hurriedly followed Chen Yang, and said, "I can't decide on this either, let's wait for my father to come back."

For such an important matter, he naturally dare not make a decision casually, unless he has the final say on the whole Xu, then it will be another matter.

Back in the factory, Chen Yang also temporarily put aside the matter of the reservoir. Since he had nothing else to do in the factory, the two went back to Xudu together.

Although Cao Ang was shocked by the idea of ​​the reservoir, or thought it was impossible to realize, he had to consider its authenticity, so he decided to discuss it with Xun Yu first.

"How is this possible? I thought shopkeeper Chen's water conservancy project was so powerful. It just collected rainwater and made this thing called a reservoir. In my opinion, it is useless!" Xun Yu just heard about the function of the reservoir and the cost of building the reservoir , he directly shook his head in objection.

He couldn't accept the existence of the reservoir at all. First of all, collecting rainwater was already a ridiculous thing, and digging a huge deep pit to hold rainwater was basically impossible.

Xun Yu said excitedly again: "My lord, you must not let shopkeeper Chen mess around. If you waste people and money like this, I'm afraid the whole world will scold the prime minister for being incompetent."

Cao Ang couldn't laugh or cry: "Wen Ruo, you are thinking too much, how dare I agree to shopkeeper Chen casually? I have to wait for my father to come back and listen to his opinion on this matter."

Xun Yu thought about it for a long time, then he shook his head and said, "No, the prime minister trusts shopkeeper Chen very much, and maybe he will agree. I have to tell the prime minister about this in advance. The eldest son is leaving first, and I want to go home and write a letter .”

After all, he left in a hurry, still in a hurry.

Seeing Cao Ang, he smiled helplessly.

"The reservoir method seems to be feasible, but it also seems not to be feasible." Cao Ang hesitated in his heart.

At the same time, he was thinking that if he had the final say on the Cao family now, he might have agreed to Chen Yang to build a reservoir. After all, he had a high degree of trust in Chen Yang.

Besides, Chen Yang, he had just returned home when he suddenly saw Zhang Chunhua and Cao Ning sitting and chatting together.

What's happening here?

This is my home, why is Cao Ning here?

Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Cao Ning first saw Chen Yang coming back, she immediately stood up, then lowered her head with a blushing face.

"Husband, you are back!" Zhang Chunhua laughed.

"Miss Cao, why are you here with me?" Chen Yang asked casually.

Zhang Chunhua took Cao Ning's hand, and said softly: "Ning'er will be our family from now on, why can't he be at home? Don't tell me husband, you still want to go back on your word?"

Cao Ning was a little nervous, and looked at Chen Yang expectantly.

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Of course not, I'm worried that people outside will gossip about Ning'er."

Walking to them, Chen Yang touched the little noses of the two beauties, and said, "Chunhua, did you bring Ning'er back?"

Such an intimate gesture had to be done in front of Zhang Chunhua, which immediately made Cao Ning blush.

"Last night, you told me about Ning'er. I thought about it seriously this morning, and decided that I need to get in touch with Ning'er first, so I went to the Cao Mansion to talk to Ning'er."

Zhang Chunhua took Cao Ning's hand affectionately, and said, "If you dare to bully our sisters in the future, you will definitely not be spared."

Cao Ning nodded with a smile, and his gentle eyes fell on Chen Yang again.

Chen Yang said with a smile: "I think, I will definitely be bullied by you in the future, not me bullying you."

As soon as these words came out, the two beauties couldn't help laughing.

That night, Cao Ning stayed at Chen Yang's house, so Chen Yang had no choice but to send someone to tell Xiao Cao about his side.

In this era, it's a bit against the rules to do so, but with Chen Yang's modern thinking, he doesn't bother to care about those ethics and morals, and he can do whatever he wants.

The next morning, Chen Yang got up early, and he went to the factory again, because today was the day to sell salt.

He was planning to be a hands-off shopkeeper and wait for the money to be collected, but he had to be present on the first day of selling salt.

As soon as Chen Yang arrived at the factory, he saw Cao Lan and the others had completed their tasks and gathered on the school grounds.

"My lord!" Cao Lan said respectfully when he saw Chen Yang appear.

Chen Yang glanced at the people behind Cao Lan, and asked, "What happened to the task I gave you yesterday?"

Without saying a word, Cao Lan took out a stack of papers from her body and offered them with both hands.

"Good job, continue to watch the people on the list tonight."

Chen Yang took the stack of papers, waved his hand and said

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Lan and the others left the school grounds and started to work on their affairs.

Chen Yang casually flipped through the results Cao Lan gave him, only to see that the contents recorded above were very detailed, so it can be seen that those people are still capable, and they have passed the first test.

After reading it for a while, Chen Yang found the one that recorded Jia Xu among the many papers.

After roughly reading it, he laughed.

After a while, Cao Ang finally brought Jia Xu to the factory.

"I met shopkeeper Chen!" Jia Xu said respectfully.

"Wenhe is welcome."

Chen Yang returned the greeting with a smile, and then he said, "I think Wen He is in a good mood today, did he drink a lot of bars last night?"

Jia Xu couldn't understand why Chen Yang asked such a question, but she nodded slightly and said, "After drinking a little, it's still the fine wine that Master Mandarin gave me, and it's brewed in your winery, shopkeeper Chen."

Chen Yang said again: "Is the mutton delicious last night?"

"how do you know……"

Jia Xu's eyes widened in surprise, but in the middle of his sentence, he found that Chen Yang was looking at him with a smile, and he couldn't say any more.

Last night he did drink and ate some mutton, but only Jia Xu knew about it, because he didn't even have a servant at home.

How did Chen Yang know about it?

Soon, Jia Xu came to his senses, he already knew that Chen Yang was watching him, and he also understood that this was a warning, and suddenly felt cold sweat all over, it was too scary.

"The mutton is delicious, thank you shopkeeper Chen for your concern!" Jia Xu suppressed the surprise on his face and responded with a slight smile.

Cao Ang felt puzzled after hearing their conversation. He first ordered a servant to come over and take Jia Xu away. He was temporarily familiar with the work of the salt factory and deliberately dismissed him.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what were you talking about just now? Why can't I understand." Cao Ang asked puzzled.

"You will know after reading this." Chen Yang took out the note just now and stuffed it into Cao Ang's palm.

"This……"

Cao Ang opened it and looked at it. He was a little puzzled at first, but soon he suddenly realized, and said, "Is this the result of Cao Lan's surveillance?"
