C315 Good ally gongsun zan (1/2)
For the past few days, he had been laughing so hard that his mouth couldn't close, while his owl-like laughter kept spiralling in the sky above the camp.
Especially after he went back to the Chang'an to rest, he laughed even more heartily.
One month ago, he received a letter from the Chang'an. The letter was written by Zhao Yun. The content of the letter was basically saying that a great man named Xiao Wen had obtained the skills to refine salt in the saline ground. He hoped to open a salt farm in the south of Chang'an City.
Although Mo Ming and the people from the Da Shennong also agreed with Xiao Wen's request, Xiao Wen still hoped to bring some people along to make a fortune.
Therefore, together with the Yang Family, he pulled Gongsun Zan over. The three families each had a third of the shares, and set up a salt farm.
And later on, he even heard that a shopkeeper in his own house had traded 500 kilograms of salt for 500 Western Region BMWs of Qin Kingdom.
This business, especially stealing food from the Qin Kingdom, was hard to come by.
Old Gongsun patted his belly in satisfaction. In the past three months, I, Old Gongsun, have been gnawing on my vinegar everyday. I've eaten so much that my teeth almost fell off.
It was not that he was short of salt, but the entire army was soaked in vinegar, so His Majesty was also eating vinegar.
At this point, none of the generals dared to eat the salt anymore. After all, they were all eating the salt alone.
His son's luck was good! He actually met a God of Fortune just like that.
Although Xiao Wen had already allied himself with Yang Family, the Sun family, and the Li family … However, it was clear that he was someone who liked to make friends.
Relying on what kind of Hongwu Club Zhao Yun had created himself back then, he had actually gotten involved with Xiao Wen.
At the house in Chang'an, Gongsun Zan looked at Zhao Yun, whom he had not seen for half a year. Surprisingly, he had grown taller, and his entire body was emitting a completely different aura than before, as he asked: ”I heard that you defeated Lv Bu?”
”My lord, Yun only won by a fluke.” Zhao Yun said.
”It's already not bad. Lv Bu, I know his level. If you can defeat him in half a move, it means that you have not wasted your martial arts for the past half year. That's right! ”That's right!”
Zhao Yun scratched his head, although it was said that after he built the Hongwu Club, he was defeated by Lv Bu and became number two. However, he was not too complacent about defeating Lv Bu.
He said honestly, ”If not for the training method that Guan Yu shared, Yun Che probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Lv Bu. Therefore, the contribution of defeating Lv Bu, will inevitably be divided into half. ”
”Oh?” Hearing that, Gongsun Zan squinted his eyes, and asked: ”The Guan Yu that defeated Lv Bu? He shared it with you? ”
”That's right.” Zhao Yun nodded and said.
Gongsun Zan understood and immediately decided: ”When that Guan Yu returns to the Chang'an, I will coordinate with him and let me recommend him so that he can train in the army.”
Hearing that, Zhao Yun nodded. He was naturally happy that his good brother had been recommended by someone.
Suddenly, Zhao Yun took out an oily paper bag from his robes and stepped forward to give it to Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan opened the paper bag in doubt, only to see a big cake inside, roasted until it was yellow in oil. The fragrance of wheat wafted through the air.
When Old Gongsun saw this, he felt a sense of relief.
Although Zhao Yun was his subordinate in name, he had grown up with him as well. Therefore, they were like father and son.
At this time, Zhao Yun knew that it was time to honor his father, and he was extremely happy.
He picked up the biscuit and took a bite. The biscuit tasted good and was very sweet and sweet. It was different from the pastries he usually ate.
Seeing Gongsun Zan eating cake, Zhao Yun poured a cup of tea and respectfully held it out to Old Gongsun.
After Gongsun had finished eating the biscuit, he took two sips of tea and asked, ”Sir, how is the biscuit?”
Old Cheng said casually, ”That's right. The camp cooks should be feeding the dogs. Where did you buy this?” It's not that I'm talking about you, but that you have the time to cook. The business over at the salt field was flourishing every day. Sooner or later, there would be people who would turn green with envy. Xiao Wen was currently in the limelight, moreover, he was abroad, so no one would provoke him. Although the Yang Family was not a Che Marquis, their relationship was tangled and dealing with it was even more troublesome than a Che Marquis. If those people want benefits, they'll probably come looking for us. ”Now that we've gained less than a jin, we'll lose the benefits of one jin of salt. What are we doing with this flower? I'm your lord, so what if we still need your tribute?”
