"Will it really work?"
Even Xu Chu, who trusted Guo Yun the most, could not believe it.
The others were like statues. Other than being dumbfounded, how could they say anything?
Poison salt extraction?
In the four hundred years since the founding of the Great Han Dynasty, including the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Qin Dynasty, no one had ever succeeded.
Countless lives were lost because of this.
Guo Yun could actually turn poisonous salt into edible salt?
This, this, this was too unbelievable!
Even if Guo Yun had all kinds of miraculous methods, they were nothing compared to this subversive matter.
"Mystic Immortal, this is no joke!”
Guo Jia's tone was serious, but his eyes were filled with excitement.
He knew.
Although this younger brother of his was a little strange, he never spoke without thinking.
If he could succeed!
This was not just to solve the problem of salt shortage.
" I've done some research. The poison in the red salt mine is actually…"
Guo Yun paused. The people in front of her didn't understand the chemistry code, so she skipped over it and said,"Similar to the previous extraction method, after high temperature steaming, cooling and crystallization, through the use of bittern…and other steps, the poison can be diluted to meet the standards of the human body.”
Everyone was stunned.
"Will this really work?"
Xun Yu was in charge of agriculture and knew more. He asked doubtfully,"If I eat too much, will I really not die?”
"Yes, I will."
Guo Yun thought about it seriously and replied,""But it should be salty."
Cao Cao was speechless.
Xun Yu,"Convex!"
Guo Jia was speechless.
Xu Chu was speechless.
"Do as the abstruse immortal says!"
Cao Cao instantly made up his mind. His eyes narrowed as he said,"Miao Cai, immediately send troops to transport salt back from Guanzhong…"
"Gongda, follow Miaocai and see how many salt mines there are in Guanzhong. If you can snatch them, snatch them!”
"I can't snatch it. I'll buy it!"
Vicious thing!
As expected of an ambitious big shot, his first reaction was to snatch!
"My lord, do you want to test it out first?”
Jia Xu considered it more thoroughly,"It's not too late to send troops after ensuring that nothing goes wrong.”
"Alright, I haven't tested it before anyway.”
Guo Yun thought about it. He had found this from the Encyclopedia's memories.
Normally, it wouldn't be a big problem.
However, the details of the operation were hard to say.
It was just like cooking. They all did it this way, but the taste of the dishes made by individual methods would still vary.
However, it was certain that the poison would be diluted.
"No need, I believe in abstruse immortals!"
Cao Cao directly rejected Jia Xu's suggestion and said solemnly,""The sooner this matter is resolved, the better. Miao Cai, Gongda, we can set off now!”
"Here!"
Xiahou Yuan and Xun You left at the same time.
"My lord, isn't this too risky?”
Xun Yu was a little worried." We don't have enough food at the moment. If we send more to Guanzhong to transport salt, I'm afraid that our food reserves will only last for twelve days. Once the Mystic Immortal's method fails, there will really be no turning back."”
"This is simple!"
" My lord, you can send people to other provinces to buy food," Guo Yun said casually." Even if it's by manpower, it can also alleviate the food problem."”
"Manpower?"
Xun Yu frowned." Let's not talk about how much grain the people can transport. What if they don't come back with the money?"”
"What Wen Ruo said is exactly what I'm worried about.”
"Xuan Xian, to be honest, we don't have much gold in our storage.”
Xu Chu knew this very well.
Just when Guo Yun had made a great contribution, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and decided to give him fifty taels of gold.
It could be seen how exhausted the gold reserves were.
This was normal.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the people traded for things, mainly grain. After all, it was a chaotic world. Sometimes, not only could gold and copper not be exchanged for food, but it could even cause death.
"Isn't this simple?"
"Let the soldiers disguise themselves as commoners.”
"This way, not only will the consumption of military rations be reduced, but we can also bring back grains as reserves to a certain extent.”
"Why not?"
"I know what my lord and everyone else are worried about."”
"Do you all think that Yuan Shao Xing's fifty thousand soldiers are enough to intimidate Qingzhou and that he might go south to fight at any time?”
"But if Yuan Shao really wanted to fight, why would he cut off the salt road?”
"Since he has already done so, it is clear that Yuan Shao will still need some time to mobilize his troops and prepare his rations.”
"Don't forget that Yuan Shao's army just finished fighting Gongsun Zan not long ago. It will take at least a month to march from Youzhou to Xuchang. Adding on the fatigue from the previous march, I conclude that Yuan Shao's army will not be able to start a war within thirty days.”
"On the contrary, he still has to guard against us suddenly attacking Qingzhou!”
"This should be Yuan Shao's original intention.”
After Guo Yun finished speaking, the entire hall was silent.
Everyone's mind was spinning rapidly as they analyzed Guo Yun's speculation.
Yuan Shao could choose to destroy Gongsun Zan's might and directly go south to fight.
But if this was the case, the army would be in a state of exhaustion for a long time, and they might not be able to gain the upper hand. Once they entered a stalemate, Yuan Shao would be at a disadvantage.
On the contrary, Yuan Shao's army was far superior to Cao Cao's, and slowly nibbling away at Cao Cao was the best strategy.
Everyone present, including Cao Cao, knew this very well.
"Xuan immortal is right, Yuan Shao doesn't know about the 'Poisonous Salt' plan, according to the original salt reserves of the provinces, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain it for a month.”Xun Yu looked at Guo Yun with a burning gaze and said,""I agree with the abstruse immortal's method, as long as the Guanzhong salt can be successfully refined, we can completely counter Yuan Shao!”
"Counterattack Yuan Shao?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up!
"That's right, just as Xuan Xian said, he, Yuan Shao, injured people with his own capital and sealed the salt road.”
Xun Yu stroked his mustache and smiled.""We'll use Guanzhong salt to replace Qingzhou salt and distribute it to the other nine provinces. The thirteen provinces of the Great Han Dynasty will seize the Nine Provinces salt road!”
"As long as we stall for time!"
"Endless income will definitely allow our army to grow to an unprecedented height!”
Guo Jia's eyes narrowed as he said confidently,""The northern expedition will also be a simple matter!”
"In other words, all of this is based on the abstruse immortal's refining method?”
Cao Cao was excited as he looked at Guo Yun solemnly. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but tremble. He asked anxiously,"Mystic Immortal, are you really confident?"
How could there be a problem with the system's product?
Guo Yun revealed a calm expression and nodded."My lord, don't worry. Even if the details are not good, at most, the taste will be a little worse!”
Whoosh!
Guo Yun's words were like a stabilizing needle.
"A Xuan Immortal talent, unprecedented!"
Xun Yu cupped his hands and bowed deeply.""If this succeeds, it can really be said to be a blessing for the people of the world!”
"Unparalleled, a Mystic Immortal talent is truly unparalleled!”
Cheng Yu was not stingy with his praise.”
"Hahahaha!"
Cao Cao laughed loudly. He really couldn't think of any words to express the amazement in his heart.
"What Crouching Dragon Phoenix Chick? Compared to my son-in-law, he's a thousand miles away!”
"Xuan Xian, you are now a marquis, a third-grade official.”
"What other rewards do you want?”
