Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Chenliu County.

At this moment, the soldiers stationed in Chenliu are welcoming the arrival of several people.

But now, there is only one person who can make Cao Yang order his soldiers to come to greet him.

That is the Zhen family in Wuji County!

On this trip, Zhen Yi, the head of Wuji County, and his eldest daughter, Zhen Jiang, came in person.

As the host, Cao Yang naturally wants to do the landlord's friendship.

Zhen Yi's motorcade slowly entered through the gate of Chenliu.

All the way from Wuji County, they were extremely calm, but just after entering Chenliu County, they were shocked by the prosperity here.

Because logically speaking, it is normal for a county to have countless wastelands.

And in Chenliu County, there are countless cultivated fields all the way, and the ploughs they use are also different from the ones they use, and they seem to be extremely efficient.

More importantly, the population in Chenliu County today, even Zhen Shi was once again surprised.

Is this still the land of Xiaoxiao County?

Even in comparison with the former capital, it is not too much, and the city defense of Chenliu is still being strengthened, and countless rocks and woods seem to have been transported towards Chenliu County.

The head of the Zhen family is a businessman, and his eyes are so vicious, he can see Chen Liu's potential just at a glance.

This is definitely not an existence that surrounding counties can compare.

And it can be seen that the farmland around Chenliu seems to be expanding, and this alone is enough to make Zhen shi's admiration.

You must know that these are only what they saw on the surface, and Chen Liu's real potential, they can only boldly guess.

"Presumably you are from the Zhen Clan from Wuji County, right?" the guard at the door asked.

Zhen Yi nodded, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Nowadays, there are not a lot of people going to Chenliu, and there are not many wealthy businessmen riding carriages like them.

This guard can see from the crowd at a glance, and it seems that he has some skills.

The guard pointed to the front and said.

"The military advisor has been waiting for you for a long time."

Then the guard took Wuji Zhen Shi towards the designated place.

This journey also shocked everyone in the Zhen family.

"Father, why did they set up so many steel mills?" Zhen Jiang, who had been in the carriage, also witnessed everything.

The prosperity of Chenliu County is far beyond their imagination, and entering Chenliu County is a completely different scene.

Zhen Yi sighed and said, "It is naturally used to make ordnance."

In his heart, he couldn't help but be shocked, how much money would be burned to operate so many steel mills at the same time.

The city defense is also a money-burning operation. This is because some city defenses are obviously more fragile, and no one is willing to strengthen the city defense, just because of money.

Although the terrain is also a problem, but the most important problem is funding.

And to manufacture so many ordnance, Cao Cao's strength and ambition can be imagined.

"Everyone, it's here!" The guard interrupted the conversation between the two, and then left alone.

Zhen Yi and Zhen Jiang looked at each other and walked inside.

There is not much difference between this house and other locations.

But looking at the books and various layouts in this house, it should not be difficult to see that this should be a private house.

The two walked towards the inside for a short distance, but did not find anything unusual.

"Cao Yang has been waiting for you all for a long time."

Cao Yang's voice came from inside.

At this time, Zhen's father and daughter gave up looking around and set their sights on Cao Yang.

The two looked at each other and seemed to want to see something from each other.

But Zhen Yi didn't see anything from this person.

Zhen Yi said with a smile.

"I heard that Young Master Cao wants to discuss a big business with me?"5

Obviously, he came for this big business and asked straight to the point.

Cao Yang smiled slightly, glanced at Zhen Jiang and said.

"President Zhen is too eager for everything"~. 95

Obviously, he invited Zhen Shi not just to talk about business.

"You two, please sit down!" Cao Yang took the initiative to sit there and waved his hand.

"Come here, serve tea to President Zhen and Miss Zhen."

That Zhen Yi nodded, did not refuse, and sat opposite Cao Yang.

With his years of experience in business and the vicious eyes accumulated by reading countless people, it can be seen that such a calm Cao Yang really has a business to negotiate.

At this time, the corners of Cao Yang's mouth rose slightly.

From the moment Zhen's father and daughter sat down, the rhythm was already in his hands.

"What does President Zhen think of me, Chen Liujun?

Hearing this question, Zhen Jiang couldn't help but think of the scene of Chen Liu passing by.

However, Zhen Yi was the first to answer.

"Chenliu has fertile land and good water conservancy, so it is a good place.

The answer is quite satisfactory, very polite, and at first glance it is an old profiteer.

At this time, Cao Yang smiled noncommittally and looked at Zhen Jiang who was beside him.

"What do you think, Miss Zhen?"

Zhen Jiang thought for a while and then said.

"Chenliu County has countless fertile fields, and the population is somewhat beyond my imagination. I don't know what magic Chenliu has, so many people take the initiative to migrate to Chenliu County."

"At the same time, it seems that in terms of city defense and steel mills, Chen Liu is also developing vigorously."

“And the streets in Chenliuzhong are extremely prosperous, but there seems to be something missing. 35

After listening to what Zhen Jiang said, Cao Yang showed a smile.

This Zhen Jiang is worthy of being in a business family, and is also very shrewd, seeing through but not saying it.

"As Miss Zhen said, our Chenliu County is still short of some chambers of commerce."

It is conceivable how much profit would be generated if a huge chamber of commerce took over a city with such a population flow.

This is also Cao Yang's self-confidence. He can suppress the development of some chambers of commerce in order to wait for a huge chamber of commerce like Wuji Zhen to join.

Looking at the silent Zhen's father and daughter, Cao Yang continued.

"If the Zhen's Chamber of Commerce is now settled, it will be the first chamber of commerce that Chen Liu has settled in.

"I can give the Zhen's Chamber of Commerce the best location in Chenliu County.35

Just these few words, Zhen Yi couldn't help but be extremely moved.

If Zhen's Chamber of Commerce settled in Chenliu and became the largest chamber of commerce, it would definitely make countless profits from it.

Even Zhen Jiang on the side was slightly surprised, staring at Cao Yang with wide eyes.

Why did Cao Yang give such favorable conditions? Wouldn't it be more profitable to let several major chambers of commerce auction off to compete for the opportunity to settle in?

And the wily Zhen Yi did vaguely guess Cao Yang's intentions.

He picked up the cup of tea that had been brewed for a long time from the table and took a sip.

"I don't know what Young Master Cao wants?"

Obviously, with such generous conditions, it is impossible to get nothing out of the way.

Cao Yang showed a smile in his eyes.

In today's troubled times, countless groups of heroes are rising together, and countless chambers of commerce will choose to unite with the princes in order to protect their family business.

If you do not actively and urgently unite the forces of one party, it is very likely to become a fat sheep in the eyes of the princes.

It is not surprising that some princes killed the chicken and retrieved the eggs for temporary interests.

Therefore, these chambers of commerce are also eager to find a prince for cooperation.

Similarly, some chambers of commerce will also take the initiative to support some forces and form their own side.

And now the Zhen family has not joined the camp of any princes, Cao Yang is not just for the simple business cooperation with him.

"Now, President Zhen should have some idea of ​​our strength.

"How can President Zhen not know what I want?"9

"I want you to join the Zhen Clan Chamber of Commerce in Chenliu County!

After saying this, Zhen Yi was silent for a moment.

This is not as simple as an ordinary cooperation. From now on, they will rely on Chen Liu for protection in the troubled times.

Zhen Jiang, who was on the side, glanced at Zhen Yi, and the conditions offered by Cao Yang made her heart a little bit.

But the final decision is still left to her father to make a decision.

Looking at the hesitant Zhen's father and daughter, Cao Yang once again threw a heavyweight.

"If President Zhen agrees, I will talk to you about the big business I am talking about. 35

Hearing this, Zhen's father and daughter were stunned, they thought that the chamber of commerce that controlled the entire Chenliu was already the biggest business.

But Cao Yang now tells them that the big business hasn't started yet!

Zhen Yi couldn't help asking immediately.

"The matter of the Chamber of Commerce in Chenliu County...

Cao Yang said with a disdainful smile.

"It's just a small profit.

How can Chen Liu's Chamber of Commerce be compared, can it be compared to Xueyan?

The cost of snow salt is extremely low. As long as it is extracted and sold, this business can be sold to the entire Dahan.

The salt merchants who are enough to influence the entire Dahan, if the price of snow salt is a little controlled, then those merchants who sell coarse salt will not be able to sell the salt in their hands!

In this comparison, how does the economy of one county in Chenliu District compare with the economy of the entire Han Dynasty?

Zhen Yi, who heard these words, was extremely shocked.

Even Zhen Jiang on the same side is the same, are they too short-sighted?

"Young Master Cao, dare to ask what your big business is?"

Cao Yang said indifferently.

"Shouldn't this be President Zhen answering my question first? 35

I saw Zhen's father and daughter looked at each other and nodded.

"I agree!"

They were extremely curious about the big business that Cao Yang said, and the conditions offered by Cao Yang themselves were already extremely generous.

The two agreed with almost no objection.

Three words came out of Zhen Yi's mouth.

Only then did Cao Yang reveal a smile.

".`Okay, President Zhen is indeed a cheerful person."

"In that case, I will take you to meet the big business I mentioned.

Zhen's father and daughter showed curiosity, what kind of business even the entire Chen Liu's economy could only be considered a small profit.

Looking at the curious gazes of the two, Cao Yang could already imagine the shocking gaze they received.

Zhen's father and daughter followed behind Cao Yang, showing suspicious expressions.

Could it be that the big business that Cao Yang mentioned is in this private house?

This made Zhen's father and daughter curious.

Later, the two followed Cao Yang to a warehouse.

There is nothing else in it.

A batch of snow salt is neatly placed inside.

Zhen Yi revealed a hint of doubt, what exactly is this white snow-like powder.

"What is this?

Zhen Jiang, who was on the side, touched it directly, and didn't feel any difference.

Cao Yang said with a light smile.

"Snow Salt!

The two of them questioned at the same time, "Xueyan? 39

Zhen Jiang's crisp voice came: "It seems that I have never heard the name of this thing.

"What kind of salt is this?

And the two of them stared at the salt in front of them with wide eyes.

According to common sense, isn't salt the size of a grain of sand and soybeans?

This thing as fine as powder is actually salt?

The existence of snow salt completely broke their understanding of salt, and they never thought that salt could exist like this.

Looking at the curious expressions of the two, Cao Yang said.

"Miss Zhen can give it a try.

After hearing Cao Yang's words, Zhen Ji's expression became slightly strange.

Who would have nothing to taste the salt directly, the salt tastes extremely bitter and the taste is not good.

Looking at Cao Yang's smiling face, for some reason Zhen Jiang also believed his words.

I saw her stretch out her right hand, and her left hand grabbed the sleeve of her right hand, revealing her pure white jade arm.

(It's good) The right hand is slightly dipped in some salt and put into the mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Jiang's face became surprised, and the salt didn't have the slightest bitter taste.

And snow salt is much more delicate than their refined salt and coarse salt.

Once this salt can hit the market, it will outlaw all other salts in the big man!

There was a hint of excitement in Zhen Jiang's eyes, looking at Cao Yang and asking.

"Young Master Cao, is it difficult to process this kind of snow salt?"

In just a moment, Zhen Jiang was able to see Xueyan's future.

After hearing this, Zhen Yi, the owner of the Zhen family on the side, could not help but stick out some salt with his index finger and put it in his mouth.

In an instant, his face revealed a rich expression just like Zhen Jiang just now!

Looking at Cao Yang with an expectant smile in his eyes.

Cao Yang showed a faint smile: "It's not difficult, and I can also tell you Zhen's how to process snow salt.

Hearing this, Zhen Yi was shocked.

"It's true!"

Not only because the production of snow salt is not difficult, but if the processing method of snow salt can also be obtained.

Then it doesn't take long for the Zhen Clan to become the No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in Dahan!

Cao Yang nodded.

"Naturally, but, I will take 93% of the benefits of selling snow salt!

Hearing this, Zhen Yi took a deep breath.

A full 90% is really a lion's mouth.

But despite this, Zhen Yi nodded immediately without hesitation.

"make a deal!"

Only 10%, he also earned!

And it's a lot of money!

Why don't you agree!

And if they don't agree, Cao Yang can find any chamber of commerce and they can continue to run the business.

No one will deny this great benefit.
