Chapter 259 Entering the Central Plains Huangshan Maofeng
Xiangyang Zhenfu Garden!

"Six months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the battle between Yuan and Cao is coming to an end. After repeated defeats, Cao Cao no longer has the strength to fight against Yuan Shao. The big battle is coming soon, and the wind and rain are coming!" Sun Looking at the rockery in Zhen's family courtyard, Can sighed alone.

Six months ago, Xia Houyuan made a surprise attack on 'Tunxi', and Yuan Shao's "foresight" allowed Guan Yu and Zhang Yun to set up an ambush in 'Tunxi'.Xia Houyuan's eight thousand Qingqi were surrounded by heavy siege.After a bloody battle, almost the entire army of Eight Thousand Qingqi was wiped out. Xia Houyuan was seriously injured in 28 places and almost died. Fortunately, Xia Houyuan was taken out of the battlefield by the BMW claw Huang Feidian at that time, and he met the genius doctor Hua Tuo to save his life.

Cao Cao, who had suffered a great loss, immediately retreated to Guandu and stood firm, intending to wait for the arrival of the fighter in the stubborn defense.

During this period, Cao Cao withstood Yuan Shao's offensive several times, but counterattacked effectively.Under Sun Can's secret intervention, Yuan Shao could not defeat Cao Cao, and Cao Cao could not defeat Yuan Shao, and the battle situation became stalemate again.

But after all, Yuan Shao has many soldiers and generals, and his strength is far above Cao Cao. Even if it is a stalemate, it can be seen that Cao Cao's powerlessness and Yuan Shao's ability to do a job with ease.

"My lord came here, Zhen Mi is really flattered!" Zhen Mi suddenly appeared behind Sun Can, looked at him with some joy, and bowed to him.

Sun Can turned around, and said with a smile, "Miss Zhen, there is no need to be formal. Chan is patrolling the barracks today and happened to pass by Zhen's mansion, so I will come in and tell you to stop all grain harvesting activities in Hebei."

Sun Can didn't know why, as soon as he saw the Zhen Mansion, he walked in involuntarily.

Zhen Mi was startled when she heard the words, and said, "Why? Isn't the plan going well?"

"The plan is going very smoothly!" Sun Can said with a smile on his face, "It's because it went so smoothly, so we have to stop." Seeing that Zhen Mi was confused, Sun Can patiently explained: "Things went so smoothly that Yuan Shao himself The army can no longer support it. In order to increase the army rations, he has ordered a ban on the reselling of grains. All the grains grown by the people must be handed in at the tax rate and used as army rations. If they collect grains in Zhibei at this moment, it will definitely cause Yuan Shaojun The idea of ​​a careful person in the center, and then follow the vines to gradually find out the Zhen family's potential relationship network in the North, which will cause unnecessary losses to the Zhen family."

Zhen Mi nodded understandingly. The Zhen family has a foundation of hundreds of years in the North, and has accumulated countless relationships. If the relationship network is destroyed, it will indeed be a serious blow to the Zhen family, so she said gratefully: "Thank you for reminding me, my lord. Zhen Mi will let the servants do it immediately."

Then, she called the housekeeper, told him without hesitation, and said: "Steward Wang immediately ordered Lao Chen in the north to stop some grain collection plans. All shops in the north immediately cut off all communication with each other. All the stores participating in the food collection plan will be closed and resold at a low price.”

The butler nodded for a while, without any doubts, full of trust in Zhen Mi's decision.

Sun Can saw Zhen Mi decisively destroying some storefronts to cover up everything the Zhen family had done in the Northland, using small losses in exchange for living space, starting from scratch, not rushing, and also admired this woman's handling of things. Possession and means, secretly said: "No wonder she can support a family as a woman, she really has a demeanor that is not inferior to a man."

Zhen Mi looked at Sun Can and smiled happily: "I made my lord laugh."

Sun Can said seriously: "Miss Zhen has a demeanor that is not inferior to that of a man. Let Sun Can see it, how can you say it is a joke? Miss Zhen can support the Zhen family with one hand, which shows that Miss Zhen is extraordinary. How many women are there in the world? Can it be done?"

Hearing Sun Can's praise, Zhen Mi smiled like a flower, and said, "Your Excellency praises Zhen Mi too much. Zhen Mi is really powerless with such a huge family property." After a pause, her eyes lingered on Sun Can's face for a while. Son, suddenly seemed to think of something, and said joyfully: "Your Excellency is unparalleled in talent. He commands tens of thousands of people in Jinghuai, but he is able to do a job with ease, without any mistakes. Anyway, it is the same under the rule, and the philosophy should not be very different. It is not as good as your lord. Teach Zhen Mi, let Zhen Mi learn one out of ten adults, so that I can effectively control them."

Sun Can stared at the boss, how could managing a businessman be the same as managing his subordinates and the common people.Merchants are treacherous and cunning, while common people are honest and simple. In fact, they should be more considerate to their subordinates. If these things are used on treacherous and cunning businessmen, won’t they be sold and count the money for others?

Just as she was about to refuse, Zhen Mi stared wide-eyed and said quietly: "Does your lord also want to keep this privately? Or do you look down on Zhen Mi at all and don't want to stay with Zhen Mi for a while longer?"

Sun Can scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "How can it be!"

"So you're afraid of outsiders gossiping?" Zhen Mi asked.

Sun Can smiled "hehe", "Lonely men and widows really don't..."

Before Sun Can finished speaking, Zhen Mi said angrily: "I am not afraid of the shadow slanting when I am upright. I am a woman and I don't care. What do you care about? Humph, we are doing well, why should we care about what others say when we sit upright?" What. Since your lord is afraid, then go away, Zhen Mi will not send you far."

Sun Can has a strong personality, and when Zhen Mi ridiculed him like this, he immediately felt that he was inferior to Zhen Mi. With a competitive heart, he immediately said: "Who is afraid, I will teach you everywhere."

Zhen Mi "giggled" and said with a smile: "Then Zhen Mi thanked you sir."

Sun Can always felt as if he had been tricked, and shook his head. Anyway, he is not as busy as before, so he should take a rest today.

Since he couldn't refuse, Sun Can simply let Zhen Mi do what he wanted.

Together in the courtyard of the garden, Zhen Mi personally poured a pot of tea and said, "Mr. Zijing is really a strange person. Everyone in the world enjoys making and drinking tea, but he made his own stir-fried tea, making the tea fragrant, mellow and delicious." It has been released in multiples. This is Huangshan Maofeng, and it has become the first choice for high-class people to entertain distinguished guests at this moment."

Sun Can smiled slightly after hearing Zhen Mi's words, and said, "Yafu is a person who knows how to enjoy life, so naturally we cannot compare."

Sun Can holds high respect for Liu Hua.If it weren't for his existence, he wouldn't be who he is today. His profound knowledge is beyond the reach of his father and any of his advisers.

Liu Hua has no other hobbies, but likes drinking tea.However, Sun Can spent a lot of money to buy the best big man's tea cake, Liu Hua was not too happy, it tasted like bitter medicine.

After he ruled Huainan, Liu Hua once asked people to go to Yishan (now Huangshan) to find some tea trees, but there was no news about it, and Liu Hua was still very dissatisfied with it.

In order to honor him, I sent people to search up the mountain one after another, and finally let Sun Guan under the Tibetan tyrant lead a group of soldiers to go up the mountain to search.

Cangba was originally a Taishan thief, and later he followed Lu Bu. All the soldiers under his command were good at climbing mountains and wading.

Sun Guan was ordered to go to Yishan several times in summer and autumn every year.It was not until half a year ago that Sun Guan lost his way and strayed into a deep valley with an altitude of 400 feet. He accidentally found the shadow of a large tea tree at the foot of a cloud-shrouded slope.

Sun Guancai returned some tea leaves, and Liu Hua was overjoyed when he learned that, he immediately warmed up the tea leaves and named him Huangshan Maofeng.This tea has a strong aroma and a mellow and sweet taste. In a very short period of time, it became popular in Dahan and became one of the top-grade teas in Dahan.

Liu Hua asked "Secret Camp" to open a tea house in Xiangyang. This tea is the only one in the world, there are no other branches, and the output is extremely small, so it is as expensive as gold.

However, all high-ranking figures in Sun Canjun are given gifts, and low-level staff can also get rewards as long as they have outstanding achievements.For this reason, many literati and righteous men came to Jingzhou to serve as officials in order to taste the Maofeng of Mount Huangshan.

Among them are Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, and Meng Gongwei, three great talents. Such a result was unexpected by Sun Can and Liu Hua.

The joining of the three of them also has twists and turns.

When Huangshan Maofeng was first formed, Sun Can sent his subordinates to gourd mouth with filial piety for his father Sun Zhe to taste.Sun Zhe was very fond of it, and immediately invited his friends Sima Hui and Mr. Pang De to taste it together with a Confucian demeanor.

Both Sima Hui and Pang Degong are elegant people like wild cranes, and tasting tea has almost become one of their daily compulsory courses.After drinking such a precious product, he couldn't put it down, and would run to Sun Zhe's thatched cottage every two or three days.

Sun Zhe was annoyed by their quarrel. Originally, he lived in seclusion to seek peace. Friends get together once every few months. It was a great event, and Sun Zhe didn't even have time to welcome him.However, seeing each other all day long and being disturbed every day, the saint couldn't stand it, let alone Sun Zhe.

Sun Zhe also knew that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, so he simply asked Sun Chan to bring him some more and give them to the two of them.

To outsiders, Huangshan Maofeng is as expensive as gold, but in the eyes of Sun Can, it is not worth a lot of money, and it is worthless to buy and sell.Seeing that Sun Zhe liked it, he simply gave him a big bag.

Sima Hui and Duke Pang De got the tea, so they stopped disturbing Sun Zhe and tasted it at home every day.

There are many students under Mr. Pang De's family. Among them, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, and Meng Gongwei all learned his essence from Mr. Pang De.

They wanted to see the current situation clearly, and then choose a leader to vote for. Later, they heard that Sun Can’s army was gifted by Huangshan Maofeng.

Looking at Sun Can's appearance, Zhen Mi knew that he had deep feelings for Liu Hua, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zijing is indeed a respectable person."

Afterwards, the two chatted with each other, and Sun Can was very eloquent. Although he was not a businessman, his methods were not as good.

Zhen Mi listened carefully and responded from time to time, having a great time talking.
