Chapter 41: The Rise of the Yellow Turban Turmoil

The three of them came together to the outside of Lin Yu's shop. Seeing the scene of a sea of people rushing to buy Moutai, they couldn't help but be startled. "Is the business really this booming?" Xun Yu said in surprise. "Presumably his wine is good, that's why so many people are attracted. It seems we'll have good wine to drink today." Xi Zhicai said with a big laugh.

Just then, Guo Jia noticed that there were a pair of vertical scrolls hanging on both sides of the wine shop, which read, "All the sages and worthies in ancient times were lonely; only the drinkers left their names." His eyes lit up. "This is a great poem!" "Yes, the person who can write such a poem must be full of talent! Just I don't know who wrote it." Xi Zhicai also nodded and praised.

The three of them entered the wine shop and happened to see Lin Yu, the owner of the wine shop, drinking with Cao Cao and others. "Greetings, Lord!" The three of them quickly saluted. "It's a holiday today. No need for excessive courtesy." Cao Cao greeted them with a smile. "Mr. Lin Yu sells really good wine. You're lucky."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they found a place to sit down. Looking at Lin Yu chatting merrily with Cao Cao, Guo Jia's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but whisper to Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, "I didn't expect the Lord to be so polite to Lin Yu and even come to show his support in person." "So what?" Xun Yu smiled dismissively. "The Lord is also a person who likes good wine. Besides, Lin Yu's two sworn brothers also made great contributions in the battle against the Black Mountain Bandits last time."

"Yes, does Feng Xiao still think that Lin Yu is that mastermind?" Xi Zhicai also asked with a smile. Although there was no real evidence, for some reason, Guo Jia still felt in his heart that Lin Yu was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

Just then, the waiter brought the wine jars. He didn't say anything more but just greeted Xun Yu and the others to drink. When the clear wine with a rich fragrance was presented in front of the three of them, they were all moved. "There is actually such clear wine?" "Especially the aroma of the wine, it smells elegant and mellow!" The three of them didn't waste any more words and quickly raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp!

After the brief spiciness upon entering the mouth, it was cool and refreshing, and there was even a faint sweet feeling! "Mellow, sweet, and with a long aftertaste! There is no wine in this era that can compare with it!" Guo Jia praised. "I didn't expect Lin Yu to be able to brew such good wine. I really underestimated him!" After drinking a glass of good wine, Xun Yu's impression of Lin Yu had even changed a lot.

"Ha ha, I told you, Brother Wenruo. Don't judge people by looking through the crack of the door and look down on them!" Guo Jia raised his glass with a big laugh. "Come, let's have another drink!"

...

As the sky darkened. At Lin Yu's residence. He was sitting cross-legged on the couch. Opposite him, Zhao Yun was "crackling" on the abacus. After finishing the calculation, Zhao Yun couldn't help but exclaim, "Elder Brother, we actually earned almost a hundred thousand coins today?!" You should know that a dan of high-quality millet is only four hundred coins. An acre of excellent fertile farmland is about ten thousand coins!

In other words, the money Lin Yu earned in a day was enough to buy more than two hundred dan of grain or ten acres of good farmland! "Zilong, you're making a fuss." Lin Yu wasn't particularly surprised. The reason he could earn so much money today was not only because the Moutai fine wine was good to drink, but there were other factors as well. Firstly, the government had previously prohibited wine-making, and people hadn't drunk wine for a long time. Secondly, Cao Cao, the Prefect, came to show his support today. Xun Yu, Xiahou Dun, and other aristocratic and powerful families in the city also came to buy wine out of respect for his face.

However, even if the future profit is only one-tenth of today's, it will be enough. After all, this is just a small Puyang City. In the future, if the business of Moutai wine is expanded to Dongjun, or even the whole Yanzhou, and even Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou... The profit from selling wine will be an astronomical figure!

Besides, he is not only capable of making wine. He can also handle things like toilet water, soap, and table salt with ease. But the prerequisite for making money is that the world is at peace. With the current situation of thieves running rampant and various heroes dividing up the land, how could he possibly make money? So whether it is for Boss Cao or for making money, he is bound to help him develop quickly so as to unify the world!

Lin Yu was full of ambition for a while!

...

In the following period of time, Lin Yu and Zhao Yun began to be busy expanding the business of Moutai fine wine. On Cao Cao's side, after recruiting tens of thousands of the Black Mountain Bandits, he sent the old, weak, sick, and disabled to farm. The remaining able-bodied laborers were trained according to the military strategy provided by Lin Yu. In just one month, although the combat effectiveness of these new soldiers was still a bit lacking, they could already obey orders strictly and had a bit of the temperament of an elite army.

However, just at this time, Cao Cao received the news that a large number of Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou were invading from the east!

...

In the main hall. Cao Cao was sitting upright on the hall, looking at the people below, and slowly said, "Regarding the matter of the Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou invading Yanzhou, what do you all think?" "There are as many as a million Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou, coming menacingly. It's not a good thing." Xiahou Yuan frowned.

At this time, Guo Jia just smiled lightly. "In my opinion, it's actually a good thing for the Lord!" Everyone was stunned, not understanding why he would say that. Guo Jia walked out unhurriedly, bowed to Cao Cao, and looked around at everyone and said, "If the Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou didn't come to invade, given the current situation, where should we develop?" As soon as these words came out, including Cao Cao, everyone fell into deep thought.

To the north was Yuan Shao's Jizhou. Cao Cao still had to rely on him currently, so it was naturally impossible to develop to the north. To the south was Liu Dai, who occupied more than half of Yanzhou. To the west was Henei Prefecture and the already ruined Luoyang area. To the east was Qingzhou with a million Yellow Turban rebels. Under such circumstances, no matter which direction Cao Cao developed in, it was not a wise choice.

"But now that the Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou are coming to invade, their primary target will definitely be the Inspector Liu Dai, not us." Guo Jia slowly analyzed. "We just need to wait for the right moment. When Liu Dai and the Prefect of Qingzhou fight to the death, we can just play the role of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind!" "What Feng Xiao said really suits my heart!" Cao Cao couldn't help but slap the table and stand up, laughing.

"The Lord is being too kind." Guo Jia smiled modestly, feeling a little bit proud in his heart. This time, I should have surpassed that mastermind, right?

...

After the discussion ended, Cao Cao took Dian Wei and went straight to Lin Yu's residence. "Sir!" Cao Cao walked into the courtyard and greeted Lin Yu affectionately. "Greetings, Lord!" Lin Yu also stood up and saluted. Cao Cao had now developed a habit. Whenever there was something important, even after discussing it with his subordinates, he would still come to talk to Lin Yu. So Lin Yu was not surprised at all!

Sure enough, after sitting down, Cao Cao couldn't wait to speak and told Lin Yu about the invasion of the Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou.
