Everyone stepped forward to test the salt.
Da Qiao's slender fingers scraped a trace of it and gently put it into his mouth. He sipped it carefully and could not help but be pleasantly surprised.
"The taste of Young Master's green salt is not only better than sea salt, but it also seems to be not inferior to Hedong salt. It's really top-grade salt!”
Da Qiao clicked his tongue and praised. He turned around and looked at Su Yi anxiously.
Cao Jie also scraped a piece with his fingers and tasted it carefully. It was just as Da Qiao had said.
"I didn't expect you to be able to extract high-grade salt from the salt. It's unbelievable!”
Cao Jie's gaze was filled with amazement as he looked deeply at Su Yi.
Su Yi said indifferently,"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just filtering out the toxic impurities."”
Su Yi said it casually, but everyone's surprise increased.
"Where did you learn such a wonderful method to remove poison?" Da Qiao asked curiously.”
"This…"
Su Yi tapped his forehead with his finger and smiled."I came up with it in my free time.”
Did he come up with it blindly?
Da Qiao couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air."It seems that this Young Master Su is not only skilled in medicine, but he can also create such a magical salt-making method with just a casual thought. He is really talented!”
"Miss Wan 'er, Li Heng is not an ordinary person. He knows a lot of things. You'll know after a while.”
Zhou Tai chuckled.
Da Qiao was shocked. When he looked at Su Yi again, his gaze had become more subtle.
"Husband, with your salt production method, won't we have as much salt as we want? The salt shortage in Xudu will be solved for you, and Sikong Cao won't have to worry!”
Cao Jie said happily.
"It has nothing to do with us whether that Sikong Cao is worried or not. We just need to take advantage of the high price of salt and make a fortune."”
After that.
Su Yi ordered Xu Chu to import a large number of salt ores and asked Zhou Tai to expand the scale of the salt workshop by ten times. Hundreds of furnaces were activated at the same time, and they boiled salt day and night.
Therefore, outside the Su Residence, the fire blazed day and night, and the green salt came out of the pot like quicksand.
In less than a month, Su Yi had produced nearly 5,000 bushels of green salt.
Early morning.
Five thousand bushels of green salt were loaded onto the truck, ready to be transported to the Su family's salt shop in Xudu City and sold at the same time.
"Husband, what price do you plan to sell this green salt at?”
Cao Jie asked tentatively.
As Su Yi's wife, she naturally hoped that her husband would earn as much money as possible.
However, as Cao Cao's daughter, she wanted to share her father's worries. Su Yi was probably like the Mi family, only wanting to take the opportunity to make a huge profit.
Su Yi calculated with his fingers and said,"Let's sell our green salt at 30% higher than the normal market price.”
Cao Jie was pleasantly surprised and could not help but ask curiously,""The current price of salt has increased by more than four times, but husband is only 30% higher than the usual price?”
"Madam, you don't understand. The raw material of our green salt is the salt ore that no one wants, so the cost is extremely low. Even if it's 30% higher than the usual price, the profit is still very considerable!”
Su Yi explained.
Cao Jie shook his head." That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say, why don't you sell it at four times the price? Wouldn't you earn more then?"”
"A gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way."
"Salt and grain are different from ordinary goods. They are things that affect the life and death of the people.”
"If your husband wants to make a fortune, I have plenty of methods. Why do I have to make such a huge profit?”
Su Yi said disdainfully.
Cao Jie was enlightened.
"Father is right. Although he looks like he's rich, he has morality in his heart!”
"Such a talented and virtuous man, I, Cao Jian, marrying him as my wife is really a blessing from my previous life.”
Cao Jie was secretly gratified. His gaze as he looked at Su Yi quietly increased in respect.
"Liu Bei, you should have made the Mi Family store a lot of salt, right? I'm sorry, I'm going to make you bleed.”
After Su Yi smiled coldly, he waved his hand and gave the order. The carriage set off in a mighty manner and headed straight for Xu City.
Cao Jie used the excuse of entering the city to see how the market was doing as he left the Su residence and headed straight for Sikong Manor.
…
Sikong Manor, in the main hall.
"The Mi Family is really bold. They took the opportunity to raise the price of salt. They actually dared to take advantage of the situation!”
Cao Cao's face was filled with anger as he slammed the table and reprimanded.
Xun Yu said in a deep voice," The Mi Family must have been instructed by Liu Bei. He knows that the salt in the east of the river is cut off. He wants to take advantage of the sea salt in Xuzhou to earn a large sum of military funds!”
Cao Cao clenched his fists, his face burning with anger.
Xi Zhicai sighed." Liu Bei's move is really ruthless. The price of salt has soared, and the people are suffering. I've secretly investigated and found that many people in Xudu City have not had salt for nearly half a month. We can't go on like this.”
"It's not just Xu Du that lacks salt."
"Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and more than ten other counties have sent urgent reports, claiming that they lack salt.”
Xun Yu added.
"Father!"
Cao Ang jumped up and said sternly," Please, Rong 'er, lead an army to the east of the river. Exterminate the remnants of the White Wave immediately and take back the salt pond."”
Cao Cao's eyes flickered.
"No!"
Xun Yu immediately denied it.
"Hedong County is connected to Bingzhou in the north and Guanzhong in the west.”
"Now that Yuan Shao has taken control of Bingzhou, and the Guanzhong region is divided by Ma Han and the other generals of Xiliang, once the Imperial Court sends an army to the east of the river, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of both sides. If it causes an unnecessary war, the gains will not make up for the losses.”
"Therefore, the remnants of White Wave can only be exterminated by Hedong County itself.”
Cao Ang sighed." But if we rely on Hedong County, we don't know how long it will take to take back the salt pond. The salt shortage is imminent. We can't afford to delay it."”
"Si Kong, that Mi Zhu is in the capital. Let's just kill him!”
Cao Hong jumped up and said angrily.
Everyone agreed and advocated killing Mi Zhu.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said," Mei Zhu is in Xu City. He can't make the decision for the Mei Family. Liu Bei must have forced the Mei Family to do this. There's no point in killing Mei Zhu."”
Everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere in the hall was heavy.
At this moment, a minor official entered and reported to Xun Yu in a low voice.
Xun Yu's spirit was shaken, and his gloomy face was filled with surprise in the blink of an eye.
"Wen Ruo, what happened?"
Cao Cao asked.
Xun Yu stood up and cupped his hands in delight."Sikong, Xu Du Ling just sent someone to send an urgent report. More than 5,000 bushels of high-grade green salt suddenly appeared on the market and were dumped at a low price at the same time.”
"There's actually such a thing?"
Cao Cao was instantly overjoyed, so excited that he stood up.
