"Thank you Sikong for your kindness. Actually, I don't want to take up any real position.”
"I wonder if you can give me an empty position, as long as I can give Si Kong advice?”
Zhao Yang said calmly.
"Hmm? Why?"
Zhao Yang's answer was something that Cao Cao had not expected.
Zhao Yang said that he came to serve him because he didn't want to live an ordinary life.
Now, he said that he didn't want a real position. Wasn't that contradictory?
Zhao Yang explained,"
"Actually, I've already said it before. I'm a transmigrator from the future.”
"Although I know the direction of many things, I don't know the specific details. Many of my ideas are incompatible with this era, so it's best if I don't hold any real power.”
"It's better to take on an empty position and give Si Kong advice.”
"As for whether my idea is feasible or not, it will be up to Sikong to decide.”
Hearing Zhao Yang's words, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction,"
"Qingfeng has considered everything."
"In that case, you can temporarily be the main registrar under my account.”
"Don't worry, I don't need you to deal with those trivial matters. It's easier to do things in name.”
Zhao Yang heaved a sigh of relief and said,"
"Thank you Sikong."
It wasn't that Zhao Yang didn't like power. The reason why he said that he didn't want real power was because he was afraid that he would arouse Cao Cao's suspicion.
Cao Cao's methods of controlling people were extraordinary, but his personality was too suspicious. He definitely wouldn't believe everything he said.
If he had real power, he would definitely be suspicious of him.
Since that was the case, he might as well take an idle position. He could show his ability and at the same time, he did not have to worry about being overly suspicious.
To follow a boss like Cao Cao, the first thing to do was to gain his trust.
"Men!"
Cao Cao stood up and said,"
"Pass on my orders.”
"I want to welcome Qingfeng!"
"Yes, sir!"
His subordinates received the order and were about to leave the tent to prepare.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly raised his hand to stop him,"
"I heard Qingfeng say that he's not used to the food we're eating now.”
"People in the future have salt in every meal.”
"In that case…"
Cheng Yu received Cao Cao's secret signal and stepped forward to say,"
"Sikong, the problem is that the military camp only has coarse salt.”
"I'm afraid it won't be able to satisfy Qingfeng's needs.”
How could Zhao Yang not know what these two were up to?
It was just that when they heard that they could easily make fine salt, their hearts were filled with disbelief and hope.
It was no wonder that they thought so. The simple method of making fine salt seemed very simple, but if they did not know in advance, who would have thought of it?
In this era, it was simply a fool's dream to easily make fine salt.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yang's lips curled up slightly and he said,"
"Si Kong, I've already made it clear that making fine salt isn't difficult for me.”
"The army can't be without salt."
"In that case, I'll be in charge of the salt.”
Cao Cao was waiting for this sentence. He laughed and said,
"This is the best!"
"Just tell me how many men Qingfeng needs!”
In this era, salt production often required a large amount of manpower and material resources, and this was only the production of coarse salt.
As for fine salt, the process was so complicated that it could drive people crazy.
Since Zhao Yang was so confident, Cao Cao naturally wouldn't be stingy to give it a try.
After all, even if he didn't succeed, the losses would still be within a controllable range.
However, if he succeeded, the fruits would be too fragrant.
Fine salt was more expensive than silver, which showed how precious it was.
Zhao Yang stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile,
"There's no need for so many people. I can handle it myself.”
"Sikong, you just need to find some coarse salt for me.”
"Are you alone?"
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yang in disbelief.
He alone could make coarse salt into fine salt?!
Seeing Zhao Yang's confidence, Cao Cao did not hesitate and ordered,"
"Dian Wei, go down and make arrangements. Bring me all the coarse salt in the army.”
"If Qingfeng can really make fine salt, I will definitely reward him handsomely!”
……
Not long after, a few soldiers came to the tent with a few sacks.
"Sikong, all the salt in the army has been brought over.”
Dian Wei reported.
His eyes had been sizing up the sacks.
This was all the salt in the military camp. The importance of salt to soldiers was self-evident!
Dian Wei doubted Zhao Yang's words.
If he was bragging and destroyed the salt, Dian Wei would definitely let Zhao Yang know why the flowers were so red.
Qingfeng, come on, show me."
Cao Cao raised his hand.
He was also skeptical of Zhao Yang's words.
Although Zhao Yang looked confident, he still didn't believe that Zhao Yang could really refine fine salt alone. He was just holding on to the possibility.
After all, in everyone's eyes, this was a fantasy.
It was not that there were no methods to refine fine salt in this era.
However, that could only be done after countless processes, and the production was very low.
As for the others present, they were all waiting to see Zhao Yang make a fool of himself.
Why don't you go to heaven?
Zhao Yang calmly walked to the sack and opened it.
The coarse salt inside was simply a large block of salt that had not been processed at all.
Not only was it much bigger than the coarse salt that Zhao Yang remembered, but it was also mixed with a lot of impurities.
It was obvious that it had only been roughly dried and had not been processed at all.
If he licked it, he would probably have half of the periodic table of elements.
"Sikong, please allow me to find a tent. It won't be long before I can make fine salt.”
After observing the salt, Zhao Yang said calmly.
"If Qingfeng really can make fine salt, I'll do whatever you say.”
Cao Cao didn't hesitate and waved his hand,
"Where is Dian Wei?"
"I will listen to your orders!"
Dian Wei took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee.
"Bring Qing Feng to the registrar's tent.”
"Also, send a few skilled guards to guard the Qingfeng tent to ensure Qingfeng's safety!”
"If Qingfeng has any requests, do everything you can to satisfy them.”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhao Yang couldn't help but snicker.
Give me a few guards?
Yanzhou was Cao Cao's base camp, how could there be any danger?
Rather than saying that they sent a few people to protect him, they were actually here to monitor him.
As expected of Cao Cao, his personality was not ordinary.
In his military camp, he still had to send people to monitor him.
If he wanted to gain Cao Cao's trust, he had to show his true abilities.
