Chapter 6 Salt Mine

Cao Cao left the tavern and immediately returned to the mansion. He called Guo Jia over immediately.

Guo Jia had just walked into the meeting hall of Cao's mansion and heard Cao Cao say anxiously: "Fengxiao, you will pass on my orders and stop the conquest of Xuzhou immediately."

Guo Jia was stunned for a while before he reacted and asked in confusion: "Prime Minister, why is this? When we returned from Wancheng, we immediately prepared to attack Xuzhou. Not only has the strategy been decided, but we are even ready for food and grass. The sudden revocation of the order is afraid that the soldiers will be very resentful!"

Cao Cao told Guo Jia all of Chen Yang's words, and he said: "Now Xuzhou is not in a hurry to fight. At present, the most important thing for us is to reserve grain. There will be drought in the spring of this year, and the crop harvest will decrease, and grain prices will definitely soar."

After hearing this, Guo Jia's reaction was exactly the same as Cao Ang's just now, and he smiled and said, "It's just spring and the weather is very good. How can there be a severe drought? It's the Prime Minister who was too worried."

Cao Cao shook his head and said firmly: "You will do what I said. Even if there is no severe drought and you will be able to store more food."

"The matter between Wancheng, Manager Chen is very good at taking care of it. Since that's the case, I believe him again and hope I've read it wrong."

"You guys go and prepare immediately, no mistakes are allowed!"

After saying that, Cao Cao left the conference hall.

Guo Jia stood there in a daze, what about shopkeeper Chen?

This is not the first time Guo Jia has heard Cao Cao mention this person after returning from Wancheng.

"Can there be other experts behind the Prime Minister give him advice?"

Guo Jia muttered in his heart, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Because Cao Ang was also in the conference hall, he asked quickly: "Zi Hui, you went out with the Prime Minister just now and when you came back, you rejected all the previous decisions. What did you do?"

Cao Ang shook his head and said, "Just go to meet a shopkeeper of a tavern. That person not only said that this year's severe drought, but also said that Yuan Shu would be the emperor. Do you think it is possible?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor? Unless he is a fool, it is impossible."

Cao Ang said again: "But, you should do what your father said, this is already a military order."

Guo Jia nodded and agreed, and then he suddenly saw the wine bottle that Cao Ang was holding.

For a moment, Guo Jia felt that the wine worm was on his mind. He smiled and said, "Zi Huo, this is your fault. I won't tell me if I have wine."

Cao Ang held the bottle and retreated repeatedly: "This is just ordinary wine, which is not delicious, so I'll go back first."

Guo Jia is definitely a higher-ranked alcoholic than Cao Ang. He smiled and said, "If it was ordinary wine, why are you so nervous?"

He suddenly stepped forward and wanted to grab the bottle again.

The two of them tugged for a while, but in desperation, Cao Ang had to share the bottle of wine.

"It smells so good!"

"Good wine!"

As soon as the bottle plug was opened, the rich aroma of wine penetrated into the nostrils.

This distilled wine has a very high degree of degree.

On that day, Guo Jia and Cao Ang were both drunk and unconscious.

——

Chen Yang saw Cao away, and his tavern became quiet again, so he simply closed the door and went back to sleep.

There are not many wines at present. If you want to make a fortune, you have to prepare a large amount of wine, mass-produce it, and then sell it in limited quantities to increase the price.

But I already had enough money and I didn’t have to worry about food and drink for the time being. Chen Yang was not in a hurry. He first bought the raw materials for bartending, and then stocked up a batch of wine from this era.

The next morning.

Chen Yang didn't open the door and walked directly to Xudu's market. This time he was shopping in the city center. He had money and had the confidence to go directly to the shops without having to visit the stalls on the street.

Unfortunately, in the Three Kingdoms era, even if he had money, he might not be able to buy what Chen Yang wanted. After a walk around, he only bought a lot of wine and sent it back to the tavern.

Chen Yang also wanted to buy some honey for bartending, but in this era there were very few people who knew how to keep bees. I could find a little last time, but I could never find it again this time, so I was disappointed.

However, it is a road that can be said to be endless.

Chen Yang asked in the market for a while and learned that there was a farmer who could keep honey in the suburbs of the city, so he bought their big jar of honey.

In this era, transportation is not convenient. On the way back, Chen Yang took a break while walking.

This body is too weak, holding only a few pounds of honey, and before walking for a long time, he was so tired that he was almost lying down.

"No, I can't walk anymore. I will exercise starting tomorrow." Chen Yang sat down helplessly.

There was a small river ahead. He washed his face with the cold river water, and then he felt a little more comfortable.

At this time, Chen Yang saw a farmer driving sheep, walking past with three sheep, and walking towards the mountainside next to him.

When they reached the hillside, the sheep suddenly stopped. They each licked a stone the size of a fist, with relish.

"Old man, your sheep is so strange. How could you eat stones instead of leaves?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"You don't understand this."

The farmer was idle and he heard him say, "Sheep like to eat salt. They like to lick them because they have a little salt on these stones."

Salt?

Chen Yang is also familiar with history. In ancient times, salt was not only a necessity of life, but also a seasoning monopolized by the government. It was basically only affordable for wealthy families.

Poor families are reluctant to leave salt even when cooking vegetables.

He curiously picked up a stone, wiped it clean and put it in his mouth to taste it, and it spit it out quickly. It was really salty and contained salt.

"Young man, although this kind of stone has salt, it can only be eaten by sheep. If we eat it, we will be poisoned." The farmer said again.

Chen Yang did not respond to his words. He quickly picked up several stones, washed them in the river for a while, and found that there were white crystals on them. As expected, this was true.

"Good guy, if I'm not wrong, there's a salt mine here, I have a hunch that I'm going to get rich again!"

Chen Yang was very excited inside, but he was calm on the surface.

There is definitely a salt mine here. In ancient times, people did not know how to purify coarse salt, so it would be toxic if they were used directly to cook vegetables.

Chen Yang is different. As a time traveler, he understands everything.

After Chen Yang put away the stones, he suddenly didn't feel tired, so he ran up the mountain and continued to pick up the stones to check.

Not long after, Chen Yang could be sure that the stones on this mountain all had salt, and it was a salt mine.

"However, how should I get this mountain?"

Chen Yang felt that this was a difficult problem and said to himself: "Old Cao should be able to help, right?"

"Forget it, don't care about this for the time being, there will be a solution in the future. At worst, I will give Lao Cao a few tricks to exchange this mountain, and no one can stop me from getting rich."

"From now on, that mountain is mine."

He declared his sovereignty in this way.

Next, Chen Yang picked up the honeypot and rushed back to Xudu City.

However, I just walked into the Xudu Gate.

Chen Yang suddenly heard a slander behind him.

"People ahead, please get out of here. I will be killed by hitting me. I will not compensate you!"

Then, a fast horse rushed in from outside the city, and the horse knight turned out to be a heroic and handsome beauty.

Many pedestrians on the street seemed to get used to this. When they heard the sound, they dodged one after another.

"Damn, help me!"

As soon as Chen Yang turned around, he saw a horse rushing towards him, and was immediately frightened.
