"How is it, Uncle? Are you going to do this deal or not?”
Su Yi asked with a smile.
Cao Cao said happily," Of course I did. Such a divine plow is very useful for farming. How can the government not buy it?"”
"Good!"
Su Yi slapped the table and said,"Then we have a deal. I'll be in charge of making the plow. Uncle will be in charge of using your connections to sell the plow to the government. We'll split the profits 30 - 70."”
"Then, is it me 70 and you 30, or me 30 and you 70?”Cao Cao pretended to be serious.
Su Yi coughed dryly and said with a smile,"Business is business. Of course, it's junior seven and uncle three."”
"This kid is really smart. He doesn't even let me, his father-in-law, take advantage of him.”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly.
Then he asked tentatively,"How much do you plan to sell such a divine plow to the government?"”
Su Yi thought for a moment and said,"Let's sell it at twice the price of an ordinary plow."”
Cao Cao was surprised.
He originally thought that Su Yi would definitely ask for an exorbitant price for such a divine artifact.
Unexpectedly, the price Su Yi wanted was only twice as expensive as an ordinary plow.
"Nephew, even if this Divine Plow is four or five times more expensive, the government will still buy it. Are you really only selling it at double the price?”
Cao Cao asked curiously.
Su Yi said indifferently,"After all, the government bought this Quyuan Plow to open up wasteland. Although it's for the future grain collection, it's still considered as giving the refugees a mouthful of food to eat. It's only right for us to earn double the money. If we sell it at a higher price, then we'll be earning ill-gotten gains."”
Cao Cao's heart trembled as he sized up the young man in front of him once again, his eyes filled with respect.
"A gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way."
"Yes, I'm not wrong about this son-in-law!”
Cao Cao praised in his heart, then stood up and said,"I understand. Leave the matter of selling plows to me. Virtuous nephew, you should prepare yourself. Seven days later, I will send my daughter to her home!”
Su Yi stood up to send him off and cupped his hands.”
Cao Cao brought the Quyuan Li and left the Su Residence, returning to the Sikong Residence.
In Sikong Manor.
Xun Yu had been waiting for a long time, and his expression was slightly anxious.
Upon seeing Cao Cao, Xun Yu cupped his hands and said,""Sikong, Yuan Shao has already begun to attack Yi Jing. I'm afraid that he will destroy Gongsun Zan and unify Hebei within the next one or two years. The decisive battle with Yuan Shao is getting closer and closer, so it is urgent to open up wasteland!”
"Wen Ruo's words make sense."
Cao Cao nodded heavily and waved his hand." We'll follow your plan. We'll immediately gather the refugees and start the cultivation in Yingchuan."”
Xun Yu's eyes flickered, as if he did not expect Cao Cao to agree so readily. He did not hesitate at all.
" Even if we start farming now, it will take at least three to five months to gather enough refugees and buy enough cattle and plows…"
"There's no need to take so long."
Cao Cao interrupted Xun Yu and pointed at him,""In my opinion, a month is enough.”
"A month?"
Xun Yu shook his head and said," A camp requires at least 50,000 men. If we count it as three men and two oxen, we will need at least 20,000 oxen. I'm afraid it won't be completed in a month."”
Cao Cao smiled." We don't need that much. A camp of 10,000 men and 10,000 cattle is enough.”
"Sikong, the amount of land that these ten thousand people can cultivate seems to be a little too little.”
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with suspicion.
Cao Cao did not answer. Instead, he shouted,"Dian Wei, carry the Quyuan Li up and let our Xun Lingjun have a look!"”
Dian Wei received the order and ordered the Tiger Guards to carry the curved shaft plow into the hall.
"Sikong, this…"
Xun Yu pointed at Qu Yuanli, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
Cao Cao pointed at the plow and said," This plow is called the Quyuan Plow. It only requires one person and one ox to cultivate three mu of land in a day. If this plow is used to open up wasteland, there is naturally no need for so many people and oxen.”
Xun Yu's expression was shocked. He circled around Qu Yuanli, his face full of surprise.
"Sikong, does this plow really have the miraculous effect Sikong mentioned?”
Xun Yu looked up at Cao Cao in disbelief.
Cao Cao smiled and pointed at Dian Wei." Dian Wei was a farmer before he joined the army. You can ask him."”
Xun Yu looked up at Dian Wei.
Dian Wei cupped his hands and said,"Minister Xun, General Li has carefully pondered over this Qu Yuan. It is indeed as Sikong said."”
Xun Yu took a deep breath and stood rooted to the ground, not saying a word for a long time.
After a long time.
Xun Yu's eyebrows were raised in delight." If that's the case, then with this plow, we can use it to open up wasteland. It'll be twice the result with half the effort. In the future, we'll have more confidence when we fight Yuan Shao!"”
Cao Cao laughed.
After Xun Yu was pleasantly surprised, he couldn't help but ask,""Sikong, who offered such a magical new plow to Sikong?”
"A peerless genius!" Cao Cao laughed.
"A peerless genius? I wonder what is the name of this genius?”Xun Yu asked.
"I can't tell you now, but you will know who he is in the near future."”
Seeing that Cao Cao was unwilling to reveal it, Xun Yu did not ask further.
After deciding on the plan, Xun Yu took his leave.
"What kind of peerless genius can actually create such a divine plow?"
Along the way, Xun Yu kept muttering to himself and guessing.
…
Seven days later.
In the evening, Su Manor was already decorated with lanterns and streamers. It was a joyous scene.
A wedding carriage drove out of Xu City in a low-key manner. It carried Cao Jie, who was disguised as the daughter of the Yang family, and arrived outside the Su residence.
The Su clan had declined for a long time, and Su Yi had lived in seclusion all year round. He basically did not have any relatives or friends in Xu City.
This low-key wedding was only witnessed by Zhou Tai, Diao Chan, and a few trusted aides.
After a simple ceremony, Cao Jie was sent to the bridal chamber.
Su Yi and Zhou Tai drank to their hearts 'content. Only then did they go to the bridal chamber with Diao Chan's help.
In the bridal chamber, Cao Jie sat there for a long time.
She rubbed the corner of her skirt, and her beautiful face was dizzy. There was a hint of uneasiness in her longing.
The door opened.
With Diao Chan's help, Su Yi stepped into the bridal chamber.
Cao Jiexin jumped up crazily. Her pretty face under the wedding handkerchief was dizzy.
Su Yi went forward and sat beside Cao Jie. He raised his hand and was about to take off the wedding handkerchief on her head.
"Young Master, you can't use your hands to unveil the wedding handkerchief!”
Diao Chan reminded him and handed him a bamboo stick.
"Is it that troublesome?"
Su Yi muttered, took the bamboo rod, and gently picked a corner of the bridal veil.
Just as he was about to open it, he hesitated.
What if it was really as Diao Chan had said, the bride was ugly and unsightly?
As a man, who didn't want their wife to be as beautiful as a flower?
"Forget it, it's my own decision whether I'm beautiful or ugly. I'll accept it!”
Taking a deep breath, Su Yi slowly raised his wedding handkerchief.
