"The extraction method is very simple!"
It was indeed very simple. It was nothing more than putting salt into the water, roasting it in a fire, producing white crystals, and then filtering it with a thin cloth.
Guo Yun didn't understand. The ancient salt production technology was indeed backward.
The refined salt was delicate. If it was in a peaceful era like the Zhenguan period, this refining technology could definitely become a way to make a fortune.
But now, the warlords were splitting up and the commoners were starving. How could they still care about salt and refined salt?
He, Guo Yun, was the first to not believe it.
"Is it that simple?"
After Cao Cao heard the production process, he was in disbelief.
After taking a deep breath, Cao Cao casually ate two mouthfuls of meat and left in a hurry. Before he left, he did not forget to grab a plate of refined salt.
Although he didn't know what Cao Cao wanted to do, he seemed to have made a contribution again.!
Guo Yun,"(^???^)
"…
Just after noon, Cao Cao immediately gathered his trusted aides in the mansion.
Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, Cao Hong, Xia Hou, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, were summoned.
"My lord urgently summoned me. Do you know why? Could it be that there's something strange going on in the north?"
Xun You asked worriedly. At this moment, he was fully focused on the production of Jiang Dongli. He looked at Guo Jia in confusion and asked,"Where's Guo Yun? You want to wait until late again?"
"I just came back from Yanzhou. How would I know?" Guo Jia shrugged.”
"The Prime Minister did not summon Guo Yun.”
Xun Yu, who was in charge of gathering the crowd, said,""Everyone is here. I'll report to the prime minister now.”
Not long after, the crowd saw Cao Cao carrying a bag of white crystals to the table in the hall. He spread it out and said,"Come, come, try it all…"
Jia Xu was speechless.
Xun You,"(▽`)"
Cao Hong,"( )~"
Xiahou Dun,"(@@)~"
Could this be Five Stones Powder?
"Fengxiao, do you smell a similar and familiar smell?”
Jia Xu lowered his voice and asked.
Guo Jia was speechless.”
Everyone looked at Guo Jia in unison. Guo Jia was instantly dumbfounded."Why are you looking at me?"
"I'm weak because of alcohol…
I never touch that thing!”
"What are you looking at?!"
Everyone had an "I understand" expression, which made Guo Jia so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Fengxiao, if you want to blame someone, you have to blame your younger brother for torturing people…"
Cheng Yu also walked out from the back hall and said,""Prime minister, according to the abstruse immortal's manufacturing method, ten refinements are successful without any problems.”
"Good!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed heartily,""Everyone, are you worried that I will poison you? "This is salt, high-grade refined salt. Try it all…"
A group of civil officials and generals gathered around the table. One of them dipped a finger in it, licked it, and sighed.
"Melts in your mouth."
"It's smooth and tender."
"This is really good stuff!"
"I didn't expect that Guo Xuanxian would have such attainments in the culinary process. The Prime Minister really has keen eyes for sending him to the kitchen!”
The flattery Jia doesn't forget the initial heart and the first record of the rainbow fart.
"The prime minister summoned me so urgently, could it be to let me try out the new invention of the mystic immortal?”
Guo Jia knew Cao Cao's temperament very well. It was a good thing to improve his appetite, but he definitely didn't need to gather his trusted aides."Yuan Shao controls Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is rich in sea salt…"
”
"Those who know me are filial."
As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials all retreated and stood up, their expressions becoming serious.
Xun You was very familiar with agriculture, industry, and commerce. He frowned and asked in confusion,""Prime Minister, although this refined salt is good, it's also refined from salt. If it's sold in the market, the cost will be much higher than that of dried sea salt. It's impossible to control Yuan Shao
..."
Refining was based on salt. No matter how much refined salt was refined and circulated in the market, the amount of salt consumed was equal.
In other words, Yuan Shao would not suffer any losses in selling salt and collecting taxes.
Everyone present understood this logic.
Even Guo Jia and Jia Xu couldn't think of a solution at the moment. Xun Yu suggested,""Why don't we summon the abstruse immortal over?"
"That's right. After all, this refining method was developed by a Mystic Immortal. Perhaps he already had a plan in mind to target Yuan Shao?"”
"That's right, with the talent of a Xuan Immortal, you'll definitely be able to think of a shocking scheme!”
Jia Xu was not stingy with his praise.
"Can't you let my brother rest for a few days?”
Guo Jia was immediately displeased."The day before yesterday, Mystic Immortal was painstakingly looking for corn to replace rice to improve the army's rations. Yesterday, he developed the 'River East Plow', and today, he even presented the method of refining refined salt. All of you, big and small strategists, your official positions are higher than Mystic Immortal's, and your salaries are higher than Mystic Immortal's. What about your contributions?”
"Humph!"
"Good job, Guo Fengxiao. It's fine if you take the opportunity to show off your contribution to the Mystic Immortal, but why did you pinch us?”
Jia Xu refuted and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.""My lord, as the saying goes, if you can't decide on the outside, ask Guo Jia. If you can't decide on the inside, ask Xun Yu…This is to check Yuan Shao.”
"Who's making this up?" Guo Jia asked innocently.”
"This morning, my lord and I heard the Mystic Immortal's evaluation with our own ears…"
Cheng Yu added leisurely.
Guo Jia was speechless.”
Is this a compliment or a scam?!
"All of you have disappointed me.”
At this time, Cao Cao spoke to stop the quarrel. His eyes gradually narrowed and he slowly said,
"What do you think if we use the poisonous salt in Guanzhong to refine it?”
