Fortunately, he found him and could put him in the place where he could best display his talents. The more Cao Yi looked at Ji Taixiang, the more satisfied he was, and there was no look of joy in his eyes.

Ji Taixiang was a little scared by Cao Yi. Now that Cao Yi's eyes changed when he looked at him, he unconsciously retreated. He heard that those rich young men and talented men seemed to like the kind of beautiful scholars who accompanied the study boys. Mr. Cao would not have such ideas about him.

Although I am quite rough and not as delicate as those people, if Mr. Cao has a heavy taste and is used to the sober and suddenly wants to have a heavy taste, wouldn't I be in danger...

Thinking of this, Ji Taixiang took another step back, Cao Yi then reacted, quickly restrained his smile, and said to Ji Taixiang: "Taixiang, I have sent you a lot of advantages. I already know where to develop you after taking you to Taibai Secret Camp for training. You will definitely help me in the future!"

"Really?" Ji Taixiang was also very happy when he heard Cao Yi say this. He ignored what he had guessed in his heart just now, and even felt a little guilty. How could he miss Mr. Cao so dirty, others are a good person...

Cao Yi naturally didn't know that he had been given another good person card in Ji Taixiang's heart. He was still in the joy of discovering a talent and said to Tan Yun: "Tan Yun, go and call Liu Baiqing over and say I have something important to tell him."

Tan Yun took the order and left. After a while, Liu Baiqing knocked on the door and asked. After Cao Yi asked him to come in, he asked him to see what Ji Taixiang painted on the table very directly.

After reading it, Liu Baiqing looked at Cao Yi in confusion: "Young Master, is this?"

"The three waves of people around our Zuixian Tower are monitoring and observing. Do you have any impression?" Cao Yi signaled Liu Baiqing to sit down and then asked.

"Of course there is this. I will ask one of the Taibai Secret Guards every day. What is wrong with their monitoring results every day? " Liu Baiqing asked. He knew that the young master knew that these three waves of people existed. Now, in this picture, the map around the Zuixian Tower was drawn very accurately, and the locations of the three groups of surveillance observation were all drawn, so he took it for granted that this was drawn by the young master.

Since the young master has drawn it and has called him over to ask him about this, there must be something wrong with it, so he asked this.

Cao Yi looked at Liu Baiqing with a serious expression: "The surveillance and observation of our Taibai Secret Guard is not very complete. There have been big mistakes in the middle, but they have not discovered so far."

Liu Baiqing felt a sudden slap in his heart when he saw Cao Yi's expression. Cao Gong had never said something similar to him before. If there was any problem, the young master calmly asked them to solve it quickly. Could it be that something big mistake happened this time?

"Did you see this picture?" Cao Yi pointed to the picture on the table.

Liu Baiqing nodded.

"This is drawn by outsiders. I didn't know in advance that there will be three waves of people monitoring and observing the Zuixian Tower!"

Liu Baiqing's face suddenly changed. The young master's words already reflect the problem, which shows that the other party has touched the doorstep.

But the guard at the door had not found the other party yet. And judging from the other party's detailed drawings, at least he has touched them many times, right?

"Young Master..."

Cao Yi reached out to interrupt Liu Baiqing's words and stretched out a finger, "One day! The other party only took a day to walk around our Zuixian Tower three times before drawing this picture... I ask you, Bai Qing, did our Taibai Secret Guard find any suspicious person appearing around the restaurant today?"

Liu Baiqing said unnaturally: "It has not been reported yet."

"Have you not reported it yet, or have you not found it yet?" Cao Yi said lightly.

"Young Master! I'll deal with it now!" Liu Baiqing spoke back.

What he said was to ask the Taibai Secret Guard who was monitoring outside, and walk around himself to see where there were blind spots. Of course, the punishments of those Taibai Secret Guards are indispensable.

"Don't be so anxious!" Cao Yi stopped Liu Baiqing again, looked at him, and smiled for the first time since Liu Baiqing entered.

"Bai Qing, don't you want to know who drew this picture?" Cao Yi asked with a smile.

When Liu Baiqing saw his young master smile, he knew that the matter was not serious. At this time, except for this picture, he had never seen the rest of Tan Yun and the young master knew the truth. The only thing he didn't know was Ji Taixiang who had dinner together today.

Liu Baiqing glanced at the latter and found that Ji Taixiang was also looking at him. Liu Baiqing felt his mind moving and said, "Young Master, the person who painted this painting is not the little brother in front of him, right?"

"That's right!" Cao Yi nodded with a smile, "It was his drawing. I came to Zuixianlou on the first day today. I went out for three or four times in one day. The three waves of us did not notice it. Instead, he found these three waves of us, and he drew detailed combat pictures."

Yes, Cao Yi is not wrong with calling this battle map. He thought that this map had already drawn detailed terrain and distribution of forces, isn’t it the detailed map and military force distribution during combat? With this map, you can definitely take the lead and advantage in the war.

"I will add one last sentence: He has not received any guidance or training, and he relies solely on instinct..." Originally, Liu Baiqing was already very proud of Ji Taixiang in his heart, but as Cao Yi said the last sentence, Liu Baiqing's heart had changed from surprise to fright.

This is really a natural scout... Liu Baiqing sighed in his heart, and then he suddenly moved his heart and quickly spoke, "Young Master..." and then signaled Ji Taixiang with his eyes.

Cao Yi nodded: "Well, he will meet Jiangning with us this time. I have agreed with him and throw him to Taibai Secret Camp for training. Then you can discuss with Brother Yun to see if it is Taibai Secret Guard or Chen Guang. I prefer the Secret Guard. Of course, the final decision-making power is in the hands of Brother Yun."

"Well... I agree with the young master's words. He is born to be a secret guard..." Liu Baiqing nodded.

"In the past two days, he will follow you. You can pick something and talk to him first. It's okay to teach what you can teach first. Just take it as familiar with it in advance." Cao Yi looked at Ji Taixiang and said.

"Okay, young master, no problem. I've been with you these days." Liu Baiqing said excitedly.

"Taixiang, we have four or five days to meet Jiangning. You have followed this brother Liu Baiqing and Liu these days. Follow him. He will teach you what to do. Don't worry about anything else. You just need to read more and learn more. Is it okay?" I got Cao Yi.

"Well! I will study hard!" Ji Taixiang nodded.

In the following days, Cao Yi and Tan Yun returned to their first time in Yangzhou, and there was basically nothing to do. Zuixianlou had already been on track. Yu Youwei and Jin'er have been guiding the 12 music shops these two days, hoping to teach them as much skills as possible before returning to Jiangning.

Hongxiu followed Qingwen and Qixian throughout the whole process, because the next step was to take charge of everything about the Zuixianlou in Yangzhou. So Qingwen and Qixian had already started to get started in the past few days.

Hongxiu followed them, watching how Qingwen and Qixian manage and deal with problems. Hongxiu will only point out the problems when they are big and guide them. If it is a small problem, then let's not talk about it. After Qingwen and Qixian handle it, they will propose it and communicate with them. Is it better if they do this at that time? What are the hidden dangers of doing that at that time?

This was the case for three days in a row. Qingwen and Qixian made great progress, and they became more and more comfortable in handling things, and were no longer as busy as they were at the beginning of the three days.

In the past three days, Cao Yi took Tan Yun to wander around Yangzhou City. He had already visited all the major attractions in Yangzhou. In the end, a large class of people ate Tan Yun's stomach. This made him feel that he seemed to have returned to the days when he first came here, and he was in Jiangning and was wandering around with Hongxiu.

Of course, Cao Yi did not leave when he returned to Jiangning this time. He has many friends in Jiangning, whether through his senior brother Fei Haomiao's side, such as the other three of the four talented men, Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Honghua, and the rest are Chen Feibai, Zu Wenhan, Wen Shi and other literary masters.

Or they met through business cooperation, such as Liu Defa, the richest man in Yangzhou, who told and said goodbye to the others. It was okay for the others to make friends through literature and bring up the matter of leaving Yangzhou. Because Liu Defa is a businessman, he naturally could not call him when he was having a party with those talented men.

So Cao Yi also went to Liu Defa's mansion to say goodbye, asking him to help take care of Zuixianlou in Yangzhou. Liu Defa naturally agreed to the request of his partner Cao Yi, and also mentioned whether he could expand his cooperation. He wanted to double the amount of cooperation before.

After a period of time, Cao Yi naturally had his own judgment on Liu Defa's character. Under the established interests, this person can still be trusted, not to mention that the money can be made endlessly. If all Taibaizui and Qinglian wine are produced and sold by themselves, it is true that all the money is made by themselves, but the profit is slow and the supply is greater than the sales.

Cao Yi does not want to be a century-old store at present. After earning enough money, his focus will shift to the Western Regions, and the Taibai Chamber of Commerce is just a channel for him to create stable wealth.

So he never thought about storing for ten years

, Twenty or thirty years of aging wine, he only hopes that the liquor he produces can be sold immediately for money.

For Cao Yi now, what he lacks most is wealth and time. He has a way to spend enough time to obtain wealth, but he cannot speed up time. Therefore, he still prefers partners like Liu Defa. If you give him the wine, you can get more than half of the money immediately. The higher the remaining ones you sell, the more he can earn.

The key is that Cao Yi earns all the money that is stable, and there is no need to bother, and there will be no troubles or troubles. Cao Yi naturally likes it, so when he was having a farewell banquet with Liu Defa, he made the decision immediately. Later, the goods Liu Defa took from him doubled.

At the banquet, Liu Defa also proposed to continue to be the sales of Huayu soap. As for this, Cao Yi has not made any plans yet. Because the production capacity of Huayu soap is not enough to support Cao Yi to take out a large amount of soap for Liu Defa.

Like Liu Defa, the purchase price is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Even if he is given a price of 500 yuan per dollar, the goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver require double the amount of soap. This is far from providing such a large amount of soap for Cao Yi's existing soap workshop. Therefore, Cao Yi just refused to give up the current insufficient production capacity, and he still needs to go back and calculate to reply.

For Liu Defa, being able to double the amount of liquor has already satisfied him. As for Huayu soap, it doesn’t matter if it is the best, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. This matter is too urgent, so take it slowly.

But he was very optimistic about Cao Yi. This young talented man who was younger than his son, made Liu Defa feel like he was facing an old man who was young and eighty, seeing all the ups and downs of the world. He could handle it calmly and deal with it calmly no matter what situation he encountered.

This made Liu Defa very optimistic about Cao Yi. He had super abilities, but he knew how to make a fortune in silence. When facing more wealth, he could calm down and resist this temptation. At Cao Yi's age, it was already rare in the world. Liu Defa really wanted to know what the scene would be like when Cao Yi completely grew up.

But now, since I have met Cao Yi, who is still in full bloom and have learned about this treasure that is destined to explode in advance, I must tie myself up with Cao Yi steadily. When Cao Yilong flies to the nine heavens, he and even his family can follow Fu Yun to go straight up.

In other words, Liu Defa, who had already made a lot of wealth, put his treasure on Cao Yi, who was still young and had weak strength. Of course, it was not right to bet on the bet. After all, Liu Defa made a profit by cooperating with Cao Yi, but the profit he made was actually slightly worse than his old business of salt transportation.

But Liu Defa believed in his vision. He has always been accurate in his eyes and is very confident in his vision. Since his first meeting with Cao Yi, he has made a judgment on Cao Yi in his heart. As he deepened his understanding, the judgment has become higher and higher.

From the beginning of the newborn cattle, not afraid of tigers, to the son of tigers and leopards, although they have not written down, they have the energy of eating cows, and then to the golden scales, they are not things in the pond, and they turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds.

Even Liu Defa himself sometimes wondered why he was so sure that Cao Yi, a young man, will surely make a fortune in the future, and it is not the general sense of success, but the kind of existence that is either rich in the world or powerful in the court.

Of course, this is also partly due to his sending someone to Jiangning to investigate. Cao Yi did not hide much about his identity, and he could find out with just a little inquiry.

Starting from the fact that Yangzhou magistrate Fei Haomiao was his senior brother, a Jiangning person, who studied under the Jiangning Prefecture Supervisor Lu Meng, these two times have been prime ministers. Not to mention that they are all over the world, but looking at the capital, all of them have received his tips and reports, you can see the terrifying power behind this old man, which has shocked Liu Defa.

However, Cao Yi still has a certain identity behind him. His father was Cao Bin, the current governor of Xiongzhou. He was the only one who became the Privy Councilor as a military general until the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty. At that time, it was the time to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty and attack the Liao Kingdom. He used troops frequently and was engaged in it for the sake of cheapness. Therefore, the Cao envoy at that time had great military and political power.

It can really be said that he is powerful in the court and the country. Although he was later demoted to the General of the Right Guard and the Governor of Xiongzhou due to the defeat at Qigou Pass, Liu Defa believed that Cao Bin would make a comeback.

Cao Yi's master Lu Meng is also very likely to be a prime minister for the third time. If he really waits for that time, his power and wealth will be rich in the world after several years of development. What kind of person will Cao Yi be? Liu Defa is very much looking forward to it. Is it better to have a king, prince, general and minister, and it is not impossible to go to the next level.

Of course, this idea is a ruthless one. Liu Defa just buried it deeply in his heart. If Cao Yi really develops to that level in the future, then he will be considered an old acquaintance at that time. If there is something to do, it is not impossible to become a senior official from the Dragon. If he has not developed to that level later, he can also gain wealth and honor.

Judging from the previous communication with Cao Yi, Cao Yi has ambitions. In addition to wanting to see all the wealthy cities of Da Yan, he even discussed with Liu Defa whether the power of the Salt Gang has expanded to Da Yan's territory, such as Dali, the Western Regions, and the Daliao.

Cao Yi even asked in detail about the situation in the Western Regions, especially the Hexi Corridor. He asked very clearly and even asked himself to ask Huang Man'er who came over there. From that time on, Liu Defa had a premonition that Cao Yi would definitely go there in the near future.

In Liu Defa's opinion, the regime that did not agree was a homeless place where forces of all races gathered together. There were hundreds of forces, some big and some small. But now it was in a very wonderful balance and no one could move anyone. But if an external force with strong capital and strong force suddenly entered at this time, the previous balance would definitely be overturned, and by that time, the entire Hexi Corridor would be a time of change.

Everyone has the opportunity to take over the power, take advantage of the situation to erode small armed forces, gradually grow and grow, and finally reach the possibility of swallowing the Hexi Corridor, which shocks the entire Western Regions. If at that time, after becoming the Communist Party of the Western Regions, Liu Defa did not think deeply about how he would get along with Da Yan and even the Liao. After all, all this was his own prediction.

Cao Yi's willingness to ask about the Western Regions was all his guess, but in Liu Defa's heart, he had a very strong premonition that Cao Yi would definitely go to the Western Regions.
