Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 103
Since then, for many days, Cao Cao returned home every night, and the two daughters who cleaned up couldn't stop, so they were busy during the day, dealing with various affairs.

Wangzhi County collected all the donations and returned the 200 taels that Cao Cao "donated" and added an additional 100 taels. Cao Cao shook his head and sneered, and then added another 200 taels. With 500 taels of silver, the county magistrate, chief secretary, and prison secretary filled the vacancy of general judge for Huang Wenbing, and even Jiang Jing was handed over to the county government as a clerk, and he found a post for Li Kui as the head of the capital. He wears that badge all day long, and refuses to take it off when he sleeps.

After finishing the affairs of the yamen, Cao Cao took Wu Song, Xiang Chong, Li Gun, Ou Peng, Deng Fei, Ma Lin, Tao Zongwang, Meng Kang, and hundreds of minions capable of fighting, bought a large amount of luggage, and went to Shier After staying in the mountain for several days, he left Xiang Chong and other six generals and his minions on the mountain, and told Qin Ming and others to practice hard.

Then he took Wu Song and Meng Kang to Li Jun's water village. At this time, the water village had taken some shape. They drank happily and stayed for two days. Lu Fang returned to Yanggu.

After returning to Yanggu, Cao Cao took care of various businesses. He wanted Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to be in charge of business affairs, but they refused to die, and said in unison: "The former bankrupt, I know that I have no business talents, so I just want to let Lu Fang and Guo Sheng take charge of the business affairs. I would like to be a pawn with my elder brother, and please recruit other talents in business."

These two people obviously came prepared. One recommended Yang Lin, the Leopard, while the other recommended Hou Jian, the Armed Ape. Although they are tailors, they are quite clever, well-versed in dealing with people, and have some insights into business affairs, so they let the two of them take up the business.

Zheng Tianshou complained again, after owning the property of Zhujiazhuang, the business is getting bigger and bigger now, some shops cross counties and states, he can't take care of them alone, and many shopkeepers often try to fill their own pockets, so I don't know what to do.Cao Cao didn't say much after hearing this, and directly asked Pei Xuan to pick a few useful little brothers to take charge of the store business with Zheng Tianshou, and to use his iron face and majesty to wash away the bad wind.

After finishing all this work, Mu Hong came to report again that he was bored with drinking all day long and wanted to open a gambling shop so that his younger brother could have a serious job. For Mu Hong, open a gambling house, the name is "No Shade Gambling House".

He claims that there is no barrier between winning and losing, and that he will never be a scammer. His brother was originally a bully, and he took over Cao Cao's Yanggu idlers, and made the casino business flourish.

After opening a casino, Cao Cao naturally thought of a restaurant. It was next door to the casino. He bought the land and spent money to build a three-storey building, named "Hero Building". .

The time of July passed by in such a hurry, and before he knew it, Cao Cao had impervious to the iron barrels operated inside and outside Yanggu County.

In the yamen, there are three people, Huang Wenbing, Jiang Jing, and Li Kui, and the rest of the officials, big and small, are also familiar with money;
The merchants in nearby prefectures and counties are managed by Pei Xuan and Zheng Tianshou, while the merchants are managed by Yang Lin and Hou Jian, plus the Mu brothers' casino and Zhu Fu's unopened restaurant.

In terms of combat power, the eight Mabu generals Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Deng Fei, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Xiang Chong, Li Gun, and Tao Zongwang in Shi'er Mountain are in the town, and more than young people have to be used. The limit of the carrying capacity of Ershan;
There are also Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, and Meng Kang who run the water village, and there are also hundreds of masters who can board the boat and launch the water.

Including Niu Gao, Luan Tingyu, Shi Xiu, Fan Rui, Shi Qian, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Xue Yong who were not assigned duties, if Wu Song is added, there are a total of 33 heroes under his command, which can be described as a wealth of talents.

In August, Fan Rui and Jiang Jing were asked to choose an auspicious day, and Cao Cao personally acted as a big matchmaker. He gave Li Kui 200 taels of silver and acres of land as a bride price, and eight sedan chairs were carried to marry Song Baolian back home. The houses of his two families were originally It was wall to wall, so they simply set up a running water mat on the long street in front of the door, no matter who came, they would eat meat and drink on the table, which caused a commotion in the whole Yanggu County.

The new daughter-in-law came in, worshiped heaven and earth, and Li Kui's wife. The old lady was so happy that her eyes shed tears, and she cried a lot. She could see a shadowy figure in front of her eyes. Everyone knew that it was the blessing of the old Li family, and double happiness came to the door.

In fact, these days, Cao Cao had long ago invited a famous doctor from the prefecture city to see Mrs. Li Kui, and all kinds of medicinal materials had been taken internally and externally applied all the time.

Wu Song taught Li Kui martial arts for a few days before, and he was loved by Li Kui. He also cared about this younger brother, so he asked for leave and brought his own soldier Yang Zaixing back to Yanggu to celebrate Li Kui's marriage.

Wu Song is a man who is rough and subtle, and he said to Cao Cao: "Tie Niu is a rude and straightforward person. If he is drunk, he is afraid of causing trouble in the bridal chamber today. Brother, find someone else to block the drink for him with me."

Cao Cao made an introspection, and hurriedly found Niu Gao, asked Niu An to accompany Li Kui's wife, Niu Gao and Wu Song acted as bridesmaids, and Li Kui was not allowed to drink during the whole process.

Li Kui used to die when he was drunk, but today he was very happy. My mother reminded me first, and Bao Lian privately warned me again. Now Cao Cao gave another order, and the three most important people in my life have all spoken, and they really shut up. If you don't drink at all, the bridesmaid will do it for you.

On this day, Qin Ming's group, Li Jun's group, more than a dozen heroes and dozens of useful subordinates came to congratulate each other. It was rare for Cao Cao's heroes to gather together.

Li Ying, Hu Cheng and other acquainted heroes came to the scene. Liangshan Chao Gai and Song Jiang dared not go out lightly, but Wu Yong and Lin Chong brought Liu Tang and other people to congratulate.

People from all walks of life wanted to have a good time, and if the groom refused to drink, what's the deal?He became more and more enthusiastic, before halfway through the toast, he first got drunk and poured Niu Gao down.

Wu Song acted like a big brother, took off his shirt, took a big bag, poured down bowls of wine and white water, and drank thirty or forty bowls in a row. Inferior, the last sip of wine spewed out like a spring, drunk like a jade mountain about to collapse, Cao Cao was afraid that he would be tempted, so he quickly asked someone to take him down to sleep.

When Cao Cao saw that Wu Song had been defeated, he pulled Luan Tingyu and said, "Youdao is a father and son who fight tigers in battle. Brother Tieniu and you and I fight tigers together. This is the fate of brothers. How can you, a brother, sit back and watch your brother be killed?" Bully?"

Luan Tingyu wanted to feed the black guy a few mouthfuls to avenge the tiger, but when he heard the words, his loyalty was aroused, and he stood in front of Li Kui. After two tables, he was drunk and cried loudly, "That tiger is me!" One shot to death, I have the power to kill a tiger, so what are six?" Shi Xiu held him down.

Cao Cao had no choice but to play in person. Fortunately, no matter which side he was from, everyone respected him very much. Seeing that he came out to block the wine, he just went through the motions and drank seven or eight bowls of wine one after another. Finally, he sent Li Kui to the bridal chamber .

There was also a group of bachelors headed by Ruan Xiaoqi, who were so drunk that they were going to make a scene in the bridal chamber. Song Laoer and his wife leaned over the fence to look at them, and they were really bluffing. Feeling a little unhappy, Fan Rui stepped forward and asked Li Gong Xiangchong to help, put the tables and benches back in the room, walked around by himself, chanted a few mantras, stomped his feet, and a layer of white smoke appeared on the ground , then smiled and said: "Whoever can walk across the table and chairs without touching the table and chairs is up to him to make trouble."

Ruan Xiaoqi, Liu Tang and the others were overjoyed, and they walked in, but somehow, they looked up and went back to the door.Seeing that it was interesting, everyone tried to walk, but no matter how they walked, they clearly saw that they had cleared the way, and after taking a step, they came out from the entrance again.At the moment, everyone was playing happily, but they forgot about the bridal chamber.

Here, Wu Yong quietly squeezed into Cao Cao's side and stuffed an envelope. Cao Cao opened it and saw that it was a letter from Wang Zhixian to Liangshan: "The county town is small and unbearable to be conquered by the king. Talk about showing your heart. On the day when the next official is in office, he will give it away once a year, and I dare not violate it."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Hehe, collecting more than copper coins, more than guan of ink, more than taels of silver, and more than ink. Even if the money of the officials is paid back, it is a huge windfall. He is not greedy enough. I still want to experience it every year, isn't this the old coin?"

Wu Yong looked at his words and said, "The most hateful thing is to let such greedy people become officials. If they are all Huang Tongpan, Jiang Wenshu, Tieniu Tutou, etc., it will be called Guotai Min'an."

Cao Cao glanced at his face and smiled secretly: "This pedant also wants to be an official." He said in his mouth: "What the pedant said is that when the time is right, the pedant should also wear an official robe and live in the hall, so that the world can take a look." What should the official do!"

Wu Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately saluted deeply: "Brother's way of employing people is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. If you are so enlightened, you will be able to serve ten thousand deaths without regret."

Cao Cao quickly pulled up and said: "There is no need to say such things, we are a family."

"Yes, yes." Wu Yong nodded quickly, then looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Since returning to Liangshan, Brother Gongming and Brother Chao Gai have had troubles several times..."

There are different teachings: officials and merchants are deployed inside and soldiers are deployed outside, and Mount Tai is as light as a hair.The hero smiled and stretched out his hand, the counselor's heart and gall were all poured out.
