The pastures and fertile fields outside Shangjun City are endless as far as the eye can see.

The guards at the top and bottom of the city were neither arrogant nor humble, and they were reasonable and restrained. They did not ask for bribes, and no one touched the girls or wives.

The streets are spacious and clean, and the shops are full of vendors and customers. It is a prosperous Shangjun City.

What is surprising to first-time visitors is that passing vehicles and pedestrians all walk on the right side.

Seeing the slogan about general rules, a follower asked without hesitation.

"Absurd! If you all go to the right, isn't the left side empty?"

Cao Ang quickly looked around and asked this "big smart" to speak strictly in accordance with the decibels of mosquitoes.

The changes in Shangjuncheng are acceptable in the eyes of the knowledgeable Cao Ang, and we in Hanzhong may not be able to do better.

But after entering the state pastoral office, a real test happened unexpectedly.

Cao Ang, who was meticulous in his words and deeds, felt uneasy and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Well, that’s right, it’s not “kneeling”, it’s “sitting”.

It is said that changing a person's habits is the most difficult thing.

Unless this change is about lifting the constraints and imprisonment of human nature.

A set of sleek and smooth high-imitation Ming-style furniture is grandly displayed in the lobby of Zhoumu.

Because Liu Bei, who was worried about the collapse of his meniscus, could no longer bear it, he hired a carpenter some time ago and ordered a batch of furniture.

In fact, Ming-style furniture that was born in advance is really nothing.

Zhou Mu's back house includes executive desks, small round tables, leather modular sofas, hanging nest-style baskets, beach lounge chairs, rocking chairs, etc., all kinds of exotic ones, which have become the favorites of Mr. Hou's family.

The eldest son of Boss Cao had never met the carpenter at that time, so he had to work on his knees with the mentality of a pilgrim.

This kind of creativity that breaks through the sky and reaches the Trisolaris star is so amazing!

A young man with an active nature and strong plasticity, Cao Ang adapted to the novel and comfortable sitting posture without much effort.

Looking at the outstanding appearance of the most handsome boy in the village of Hanzhong, and then thinking about Boss Cao's "unremarkable" appearance, Old Liu secretly poked at him with unreasonable suspicion.

After the pleasantries, when he heard that Boss Cao had been treated unfairly by the court, Liu Bei sarcastically "pointed out the problem".

"My dear nephew, how could you know that it's a blessing in disguise? Your father is the only two recognized heroes in the world. A few setbacks are nothing. Oh, the other hero is a certain person. Ahem, let's not talk about it. It is a good thing to carry out economic and trade exchanges with each other, is there any

What are your specific ideas?”

Cao Ang cupped his hands and said: "I heard that Jiangnan tea is suitable for people of all ages, and Hanzhong also wants to imitate the cultivation. The brocade and silk medicinal materials from Shu, and the cattle and horse hair leather from Yong, each can get what they need. It is mutually beneficial. I hope Uncle Shi will allow it."

Liu Bei realized that Cao Cao also had the idea of ​​​​reforming and opening up to revitalize the economy. As for why, everyone agreed.

The land of abundance is the best springboard for conquering the southwest and outflanking the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that it is most beneficial to oneself to trade with the world.

However, if both parties rush to agree during negotiations, the price will drop and the other party will be despised.

"What my nephew said makes sense, and I also think it's good. However, the matter is very important and needs to be discussed by all parties. If it's not urgent, how about waiting for a few days?"

Guests and hosts do as they please, and since they are elders, Cao Ang did not expect that the high-ranking uncle in front of him would make a decision on the spot.

"I would like to abide by Uncle Shi's arrangements."

When leaving the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, Cao Ang bumped into a certain young lady who was full of energy and walking like flying.

"Are you blind?"

An angry Cai Zhenji started shouting without even looking.

Cao Ang, who was hit innocently, had a really good temper. After he righted Cai Zhenji, who almost fell, he immediately pulled his hand away.

"Sorry, I'm rude!"

Liu Hui, the steward on the side, had already seen the whole story and said, "Miss Cai, this is the son of the prefect Cao of Hanzhong. You must not be rude."

At this time, Cai Zhenji, who had seen Cao Ang clearly across from her, felt her heart beat for no reason.

She stuttered and blushed, pretending to be a lady, and bowed to apologize: "It's... I'm not a slave. Please... please forgive me, sir."

"No problem, no problem! Say goodbye!"

Cao Ang went out, got on his horse, and left gracefully.

Miss Cai stood at the door and stared for a long time until the man disappeared at the end of the street.

This situation made housekeeper Liu Hui subconsciously worry about Boss Cao's eldest son.

Two days later, Zhang Xiaoshuai, who thought he was still in a cold war, suddenly heard rumors.

"Rider, some young master from the Hanzhong prefect's family has come to the city. Someone saw him walking very close to Miss Cai."

Huh?!

Handsome guy Zhang frowned, thinking it was another prank pulled by the little witch on a whim, so he stayed put.

Two days later, another rumor came to my ears.

"Rider, the young master of the Cao family is a good-looking man. He has been listening to books and music in the teahouse with Lady Cai for days."

Oops, I can't bear this anymore.

Randomly finding an excuse, the young man led his bodyguard on horseback and rushed to Zhen Kee Tea House.

If the rumors are true, that pretty boy must be good-looking.

In addition to wholesale and retail, Zhenji Tea House also specially developed teahouses and stages based on the instructions of a certain traveler.

Everyday, there will be storytelling and vaudeville performances on the stage to attract customers.

Not to mention the consumption of tea and snacks, the teahouse's income has soared by the rewards given to popular artists by local tycoons and fans.

Zhen Kee Tea House made a fortune and soon attracted many imitators.

Initially, the Zhen family hoped to use the power of the Marquis to monopolize the family, but was clearly rejected.

Natural selection.

"If you are outperformed by others, change to a more responsible shopkeeper and hire better artists. If it still doesn't work, it means you can't do this business, so close it as soon as possible."

Facing another beating, the Zhen family did not dare to take advantage of opportunities.

I calmed down, focused on management and service, and finally secured the leading position in the teahouse business.

Therefore, the high-end and elegant Zhenji Teahouse has become the premier leisure and entertainment venue in Shangjun City.

As a celebrity, Cai Zhenji took the initiative to approach Cao Ang, who was on a business trip. A teahouse that appealed to both refined and popular tastes was a more suitable place.

Cao Ang, however, didn't know much about Cai Zhenji's true intentions and details, so he naturally couldn't refuse the invitation from Zhou Mu's sister-in-law.

In order to learn more about this cheap uncle, I was invited to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to music with Cai Zhenji for three consecutive days.

The fact that a witch and a handsome man sit at the same table is something that the public likes to see.

People came and went in the teahouse, and the news spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the city in the blink of an eye. The teahouse was packed with melon-eating people.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "It's coming, it's coming!"

The tea guests, who were looking forward to the stars and the moon, all looked towards the door of the teahouse with understanding.

Cao Ang was confused, who is so famous?

"Deng, Deng, Deng..."

Following the footsteps, a handsome young man with a cool expression walked straight to the golden table in front of the stage.

Cai Zhenji glanced at it lightly, turned a blind eye, and continued to look at the stage.

Looking at Zhang Liao who was wearing a military uniform and looking unkind, and then at the little witch Cai who was pretending to be fine, Cao Ang vaguely understood something.

Out of politeness, Cao Ang stood up, raised his hands and asked: "Is this general who you are looking for?"

Zhang Xiaoku didn't even look at it, suppressed his anger and said coldly: "This is none of your business, go away!"

Cao Ang is here on business, and out of respect for his master, he is definitely not willing to cause trouble.

What's more, this young man is a Cavalry Commander, and he is obviously involved with Zhou Mu's sister-in-law, so he must be no ordinary person.

Although the other party was rude, Cao Ang didn't take it to heart. How stupid would he be to reason with a soldier?

Smiling slightly, he cupped his hands towards Cai Zhenji and said: "Thanks to Miss Cai for hosting me..."

However, Cai Zhenji thought that Zhang Liao drove away his guests as soon as he came up, which clearly did not take her seriously.

"Brother Zixiu, sit down! I want to see today who dares to make trouble here?"

This girl calls her brother and sister regardless of seniority.

Cao Ang has no other thoughts about Cai Zhenji. If he continues to be caught in the middle, wouldn't it be like smearing his crotch with yellow mud?

So, I decided to withdraw decisively and not get involved.

"I'm so sorry! I'm really in an emergency. I'll apologize to Mrs. Cai another day!"

After saying that, he turned around and planned to leave.

"Bang!"
