Xudu’s grain price has begun to rise again, reaching 200 coins per stone, and I’m afraid it will rise to 250 coins tomorrow.

Cao Ang has brought the money back to Cao's mansion, and they use it to buy grain as soon as possible, and can also speculate on the price of grain.

At this time, Guo Jia walked into Cao's mansion excitedly and said, "Prime Minister, finally a grain merchant has come to Xudu."

At noon, three grain merchants came, all of whom were merchants near Xudu. When they learned about the price increase in grain, they immediately transported the grain to make money.

Cao Cao's uneasy heart was very stable. He waved his hand: "Buy all their food and continue to increase the price of grain. Merchants are pursuing profits, but they still don't see enough benefits."

Guo Jia said again: "Prime Minister, Zixiu told me that Manager Chen wants to get the salt mine as soon as possible. Should we also go and see the salt mine?"

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "Everyone will go and have a look. I will go to find Manager Chen now. The wine and grain have brought me a lot of surprises, and I hope the salt mine will be the same."

——

In the afternoon, Chen Yang had just taken over the tavern and the winery and got the news that the salt mine had been taken down, and Lao Cao and others were already waiting for him in the restaurant.

Chen Yang immediately went back to the restaurant, first entertaining them, then changing the medicine for Zhang Chunhua's wounds, and then going to the salt mine outside the city together.

In the room, Zhang Chunhua was untied and her face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Chen Yang again.

"Zi'an, I think that old Cao's identity is not simple. Dian Wei, who saved us last night, is very powerful in martial arts. He must be a general in the Cao army. Do you really don't know their true identities?" Although Zhang Chunhua was shy, he still reminded him kindly.

After last night, Zhang Chunhua unknowingly felt tenderness towards Chen Yang and was even more worried about him.

Chen Yang thought about this question seriously for a while, and he smiled and said, "I don't want to pursue their true identities, but I only know that they are my friends, and that's enough."

Zhang Chunhua didn't know where he got the courage, but suddenly looked at Chen Yang and asked, "Where are we? Are we friends too?"

After all those confused things happened, and when Chen Yang heard her words again, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

If they were friends, they would all sleep together, and they would experience life and death, which would have surpassed their relationship with friends.

In modern terms, it is above friends.

"What do you think? Are you going home?" Chen Yang asked her back.

"I won't go back anymore. I'm afraid my family already knows what happened to Sima's family. If I go back, my father will definitely force me to get married." Zhang Chunhua shook his head.

"Since you don't want to go back, then stay here. This will always be your home." Chen Yang said softly.

Zhang Chunhua nodded slightly and finally turned his head away, not looking at Chen Yang again.

After changing the medicine, Chen Yang left the room.

The blush on Zhang Chunhua's face gradually faded away, and she whispered: "This is my home, which is warmer than the one before."

Back outside, Chen Yang asked Lao Dian to prepare a few secret guards to continue to protect Zhang Chunhua.

After arranging the restaurant, Chen Yang took Lao Cao and others to the suburbs.

This time, in addition to Chen Yang and the others, he also brought a team of hundreds of guards to leave Xudu in a mighty manner.

This was the first time Chen Yang had come into close contact with ancient troops. He felt that he was a general while sitting on the horse.

"Fortunately, I learned to ride a horse before, so there is no need to be too embarrassed." Chen Yang sat on the horse while looking around.

But he found another problem: horses of this era have no stirrups and horse hooves.

The effect of not having horse's hooves is not great, but without stirrups, Chen Yang always felt that he would fall off while sitting on the horse's back.

"Looking for time, I also created a set of horse hooves and stirrups to install Chunhua's horse. She likes to run fast horses, which is safer." Chen Yang would smile in love whenever he thought of Zhang Chunhua.

Finally arrived at the salt mine, a not-too-high mountain appeared in front of you.

Before leaving, Chen Yang found a carriage and brought the set of tools he had to purify coarse salt, and he had to refine it for them later.

"Shopkeeper Chen, is this what you are talking about in the salt mine?"

Seeing this, Xun Yu first asked: "As far as I know, this salt is toxic and can cause damage to the body. How can this salt be used to cook?"

His reaction was exactly the same as Cao Cao and Guo Jia at that time, so both of them laughed.

"Why are you laughing at? Can this kind of salt really be eaten?" Xun Yu asked in confusion.

"Of course, it can be eaten. Not only is it not poisonous, but it also has no impurities. It is much better than the sea salt we eat." Guo Jia smiled slightly.

Xun Yu picked up a piece of ore and looked at it for a while, but couldn't see anything special. He continued to shake his head and said, "I can't. I know this kind of salt, so I must not eat it."

Cao Cao said: "Lao Wen, I have eaten this kind of salt and Lao Guo, so it's really okay. Can you show your skills first? Let's see how you made these salts?"

The method of making salt is a secret for Chen Yang. In fact, he doesn't want to show how to make it in public.

However, in the future, if you want to cooperate with Lao Cao to develop this salt mine, it is impossible to avoid recruiting a group of workers and then teaching them how to refine it. It is a matter of time before you can continue to teach the purification technology.

Because of this, Chen Yang brought the refined tools and did not intend to hide them.

"Of course it's okay. Come and help me move all the tools on the carriage."

Chen Yang waved his hand and soldiers were about to go to work.

After all the purification tools were placed, Cao Cao and others surrounded him and looked around, but they couldn't understand how these things were used.

"Old Wen, please be careful, don't blink!" Chen Yang said with a smile.

He first found a few stones from the mine and started fiddling with those things. The whole process was not complicated. Chen Yang had tried it countless times and was already extremely skilled.

After less than an hour of use, Chen Yang purified a small bowl of salt and dried it over fire.

"This kind of salt looks so good. Can it really be eaten?" Xun Yu looked at Chen Yang in surprise at such fine and white salt.

"I knew you Lao Wen would not believe it, watch it!" Chen Yang waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to move a pot out of the carriage.

Chen Yang used the remaining fire just now to burn a pot of water, and then asked the soldiers to catch two big fish in the nearby river, cooked a pot of fragrant fish soup, and finally sprinkled the salt to season.

"Old Cao, drink it quickly, this fish soup is very fresh!" Chen Yang first served himself a bowl, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he started drinking happily.

Cao Cao even drooled in the corner of his mouth, and he hurriedly said, "Lao Dian, don't move, give it to me first!"

Dian Wei immediately served a bowl of soup, but before he could drink it, he was snatched away by Cao Cao.

"Chen... Lao Cao, don't!" Xun Yu said in surprise.

"Lao Wen, it's not poisonous. Do you want to have a bowl too?" Cao Cao didn't care. It was not the first time he had eaten this kind of salt.

Seeing that Chen Yang had finished drinking a bowl of soup, after a while, there was no sign of poisoning.

Xun Yu had to believe that the salt in the salt mine was no longer poisonous, and he was very excited.

Most of Xudu's salt comes from Qingzhou and other places, which are Yuan Shao's territory.

Nowadays, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have a bad relationship. If you need to buy salt, it depends on Yuan Shao's expression. The quality of the buyer is not very good, and there are many impurities in it.

Xun Yu hasn't eaten good salt for a long time.

With this salt mine, do they still need to ask him Yuan Shao in the future?

No need at all!

Thinking of this, Xun Yu looked at Chen Yang in surprise.

This person is really powerful and can do everything.

Xun Yu had to overturn his previous prejudice against Chen Yang and gradually admired him.

"Shopkeeper Chen, you are really amazing. Last time it was Quyuan Pier, this time it was Jingyan. It's such a strange person! My old man is willing to give me a disadvantage, but... Lao Dian, please leave me a bowl!"

Xun Yu was so greedy when he smelled the fragrance, but a pot of fish soup was not enough for them to drink, so he hurriedly wanted to grab Dian Wei's.
