Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao Sangu Maolu invited me out of the mountain

Cao Cao coughed.

Then asked Shen Xuan: “National Master, what Zi Lian said is true?” ”

Shen Xuan took a sip of tea and frowned.

The tea was a little lighter.

“All the goods produced by the Xiaoyao Chamber of Commerce are cheap and beautiful, and the goods are of true value, and what Zi Lian said is true!”

Shen Xuan put down the teacup and said slowly.

Aren’t you teasing me?

Let you taste the taste of being teased, too!

Cao Cao had a black line on his face.

Everyone in the temple looked at each other.

The national teacher, who regarded money as dung, also began to advertise to the Chamber of Commerce?

You Heng shouted: “Impeachment, the national master despises Xiangguo, and should be punished!” ”

Play your sister!

Shen Xuan’s indifferent gaze swept at You Heng.

Wait a minute, watch you perform to eat iron!

“It’s only 30,000 catties a day, what is it?”

“When Meng De dominates the world and produces millions of catties per day, it is not possible!”

Shen Xuan said lightly.

Sigh!

In the main hall, there was a sound of gasping for air again.

Cao Cao got up from the ground, and his eyes bloomed with a burning light.

Iron, in relation to armaments.

With enough iron.

You can create more and better weapons.

It can also create more iron farming tools, which can greatly increase food production.

Daily output of 30,000 pounds of steel!

What does this mean?

It means that a strong army can be built.

Sweeping the crowd, invincible.

It means that the hegemony of Huangtu is no longer a dream.

How could Cao Cao not be excited?

At this moment, Cao Cao’s heart was surging, and he wanted to… Moan!

“You, with so many iron tools, which one do you like? Please choose any one and eat! ”

Shen Xuan looked at You Heng and smiled slightly.

Wow~

There was laughter in the hall.

Everyone looked at Youheng like they were looking at a clown.

Fighting with the national master?

The national master will immortal law, what can stump him?

Isn’t that deflated?

Eat a pound of iron, I don’t know if it will eat a bad stomach!

You Heng, however, looked calm and rolled his eyes.

“This official just said that if the national master conjures salt and iron, he will eat one pound of iron and one pound of salt. Iron is there, where is the salt? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Oh, yes!

The so-called immortal method of the national master is to open mines and make steel with secret methods.

In Cao Cao’s territory, there are many ownerless mines.

Since they are all some poor minerals, the mining value is not large, and naturally no one wants them.

Salt is different!

There are mainly such sources of salt.

Local salt wells.

Salt ponds in Kanto.

All of these were occupied by the Hongnong Yang clan and other clansmen.

The other is Qingzhou’s sea salt.

And the lake salt of the state.

These are all on Yuan Shao’s territory.

Another part is from Haixi County, Xuzhou.

These salts were secretly controlled by the wealthy merchant Mi Clan in Xuzhou.

A meritocratic order offended the powerful of the world.

Where to get the salt?

Unless it’s a robbery.

But in this way, what is the difference with Dong Zhuo?

How will you compete for the world in the future?

In fact, in the land of the four states controlled by Cao Cao, there are not no salt wells.

And not less.

It’s just that the brine produced by these salt mines is black and yellow brine, all of which are toxic.

Don’t say it’s people.

It is cattle, and if they eat it, they will die.

There are also quite a few salt wells.

There is brine in it, but it is hidden deep underground.

However, with the current level of technology, it is simply impossible to take it out.

What about the national teacher who has the immortal law?

It is impossible to smelt as much steel as iron ore.

“Are you talking because you don’t have salt as a condiment, so you can’t eat a pound of iron?”

“Don’t worry, the Xiaoyao Chamber of Commerce not only sells iron, but also salt!”

Cao Hong smiled and waved his hand towards the outside of the hall.

“Get it all in!”

The voice fell.

A dozen samurai carried two large cloth bags full of them and strode into the hall.

Open the cloth bag and open it.

It’s full of white flower salt.

White as snow.

Fine as sand.

Sparkling.

“Fine salt!”

“These are all fine salt!”

Xun Yu dipped some of his fingers, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and suddenly exclaimed.

“I’ll taste it!”

“It’s really fine salt!”

“It’s much finer than the big grains of salt I eat at home.”

“The salt that Sangkook eats, it’s just that!”

“The salt that the people eat, it is the size of a fist, and every time you use salt, you must smash it with a hammer!”

“Sweet, fragrant, is this immortal salt?”

……

An exclamation sounded in the hall.

Shen Xuan was disdainful.

Is there such an exaggeration?

And who else can taste the salt sweet and fragrant, are you sure you are not sick?

Actually immortal salt?!

Cao Cao’s eyes flashed, and he asked Cao Hong in a deep voice, “Where did these salts come from?” ”

“The brine drawn from the salt well is refined!”

Nonsense!

Cao Cao really wanted to smoke people.

“A few days ago, the national master asked me to buy up those abandoned salt wells and poisonous salt wells.”

“Then the national master gave the immortal law, and the deepest brine can be mined to a depth of three hundred zhang underground.”

“Those poisonous salts, refined by immortal methods, have all become such refined salts.”

Cao Hongshen looked mysterious.

It’s really the same as fairy law.

In fact, he knew very well that it was not an immortal law at all.

The method given by the national master to open salt wells and refine poisonous salt is very exquisite.

The manpower and material resources required are not large.

It has nothing to do with the immortal law.

But.

Since it is a method given by the national master, it must be an immortal method.

The refined salt must be immortal salt.

Everyone looked at Shen Xuan one after another, their eyes full of awe and admiration.

Another national division!

Sure enough, there is nothing that can stump the national teacher.

Xun Yu asked, “General Zilian, how many catties of salt is produced per day now?” ”

This is a major matter related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, of course, we must ask clearly.

Cao Hong: “Confidential. However, I can guarantee that the salt I have now is enough for the people to eat for three months. ”

Xun Yu was overjoyed when he heard this.

All the officials also breathed a sigh of relief.

Now there is no need to jam the neck of the strong.

Cao Cao burst out laughing.

That’s it.

Grain, salt, and iron were all solved.

The clan is powerful, what other tricks can you come up with?

Xun Yu was not so optimistic.

He continued to ask: “How much is such a pound of salt?” How much does it cost to sell coarse salt to the people? ”

Cao Hong glanced at Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan did not make a sound.

Cao Hong said: “The salt sold by the Xiaoyao Chamber of Commerce for eating is all refined salt, there is no coarse salt, as for the price… Ten bucks! ”

Xun Yu frowned: “Ten dollars one or two?” ”

The coarse salt sold on the market now is fifty dollars a pound.

Ten dollars a tael, one pound costs one hundred and eighty dollars.

Too expensive!

Where can ordinary people afford to eat?

Shiro is happy.

Cao Hong raised his voice: “Ten dollars, one catty!” ”

“What do you say, ten dollars a pound? Such refined salt?! ”

Xun Yu grabbed Cao Hong’s arm, his eyes as wide as copper bells.

Cao Cao was shocked, strode over, and asked, “What you said is true?” ”

Cao Hong said, “Of course it’s true!” ”

There was an uproar in the hall.

Such refined salt turned out to be so cheap.

After that, the people still worried about the lack of salt to eat?

Cao Hong glanced at Shen Xuan again, and his heart ached!

Such refined salt, even if the price is increased tenfold, is not much.

But this price was set by the national master, where did he dare to make his own decisions?

You Heng suddenly shouted, “Impeachment! ”

Everyone frowned.

Nima’s, this madness is addictive.

Do you impeach this too?

“Cao Zilian set the price of salt so low that the imperial court would lack an important income.”

“Where does the official’s servant come from? Where does the money and food for the army come from? ”

Thou hast shalt have spoken words, spitting stars flying around.

Cao Cao and the others were stunned.

This crazy student, this time is right!

In fact, with the existing salt production, it is completely enough for the people.

The price would not have been so high.

However, after the heavy taxation of the official government, the powerful and the merchants exploited the profits layer by layer, resulting in expensive reneging.

Even sometimes money can’t buy it.

Now that Cao Hong will table salt, and it is still refined salt, the price is set so low, isn’t the official government missing a big source of wealth?

Didn’t Cao Hong become a great sinner?

When You Heng received the support of everyone, he suddenly trembled and shouted loudly: “Cao Hong is in disorderly government, and he should be blamed for his crimes!” ”

Under the instructions of Qianfu, Cao Hong had to ask Shen Xuan for help.

“Rejoice, the people suffer, die, the people suffer!”

Shen Xuan let out a long sigh and stood up from the ground.

Even if it offends hundreds of officials today.

and countless powerful and wealthy merchants in the world who borrowed salt to suck the blood of the people.

Fight for the people, too!
