Three Kingdoms: Keep a Low Profile, I'm Just a Guy

　　"If I guessed correctly this time, don't say that the lord is helpless, even if the group of advisers under him are tied together, they can't make a tune."

　　Salt is a very special existence in this era.

　　Due to the backwardness of salt-making technology, there is absolutely no other way than to transport naturally dried sea salt from Qingzhou.

　　This is definitely not a problem that can be solved with IQ.

　　Therefore, after Qin Chuan knew that the price of salt was soaring and deduced that Yuan Shao had imposed sanctions on Cao Cao, he had already expected that Lao Cao would come.

　　This is a person who talks about Cao's family all day long. He usually asks questions about the trivial matters of sesame and mung beans.

　　What's more, Yuan Shao's plan can really destroy the Cao Shi Group. If he didn't come, he would really be a ghost.

　　"As Brother Qin said, there is chaos in the Prime Minister's mansion now, and the lord's eyebrows are burning in a hurry."

　　"Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others, who usually boast of being superior in resourcefulness, can only stare blankly, and rely on Brother Qin to take action."

　　Guo Jia:  …

　　Xun Yu:  …

　　Cheng Yu:  …

　　Can we not do this, can't you think of it yourself?

　　If you support him, support him, why do you have to use us as stepping stones?

　　Lao Cao worked hard enough to get Qin Chuan to take action. After bragging, he did not forget to bring the package containing twenty gold ingots to the table.

　　Qin Chuan picked up the package and weighed it, then smiled disdainfully.

　　"Old Cao, what happened this time, brother, I really don't like this silver tael."

　　"But I'm glad you can be so sensible."

　　"So, for this business, I also left you a share!"

　　After all, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, and when he opened it, it was full of small snow-white particles.

　　Under Qin Chuan's suggestion, Cheng Yu carefully dipped some of his fingers into his mouth.

　　"Hi... it's green salt!"

　　"Top grade green salt!"

　　It is not uncommon to have a salt book in the kitchen.

　　The reason for this is that the salt in front of you is of the highest quality in terms of color and taste, and even the ones used by the imperial palace do not have such a good taste.

　　"This is the salt from the Guanzhong Yantian."

　　As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Cheng Yu immediately spit it out, and when everyone laughed, Cheng Yu looked unhappy.

　　"Brother Qin, Guanzhong salt is poisonous salt. Do you know that it can kill people? How can you make fun of this stuff!"

　　After laughing, Cao Cao looked a little lost.

　　He doesn't want to use poisonous salt to get through the sadness, right?

　　That is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst, and committing suicide.

　　"Don't worry, this salt is indeed the salt from the Guanzhong Salt Field, but after my processing and refining, the toxins have been removed and it has become edible salt."

　　!!!

　　The four of them were like a thunderclap, and they were speechless except for their stares.

　　Turn poisonous salt into edible salt!

　　Dahan's Department of Agriculture has been studying this matter for two or three hundred years, and it is simply impossible to do.

　　What water flushing method, filtration method, fermentation method...

　　It even cost the lives of dozens of salt testers.

　　How could Qin Chuan have such a magical means to turn poisonous salt into edible salt by himself?

　　Seeing that everyone was shocked and speechless, and there were doubts in their eyes.

　　Even if Qin Chuan in the past gave them a great shock, they still couldn't believe it.

　　No way, Qin Chuan had no choice but to sprinkle green salt into the broth, and then gulp it down.

　　This time, they couldn't help but believe it.

　　Cao Cao slapped the table and stood up abruptly, his face twitching, and he spit out a sentence with restraint:

　　"This is a big problem, you solved it like this?"

　　evildoer!

　　This can no longer be described by the word wizard.

　　To create something out of nothing, to surpass hundreds of years of hard work by Han Si Nong with one's own power, isn't this a monster or something?

　　"More than that, solving the salt problem is the first step, and the second step is counter-sanctioning Yuan Shao!"

　　The four of them shivered as if they were wearing single clothes in winter.

　　Did we hear it right?

　　He wants to counter-sanction Yuan Shao?

　　"To tell you the truth, Lao Cao, the refining cost of this green salt is extremely low. As long as we work together to buy Guanzhong Yantian, I will provide the technology, and you will provide the financial and human resources."

　　"At that time, there will be a steady stream of green salt output. We are driving down prices and selling them in the thirteen states of Dahan."

　　"Think about it, the quality of this green salt is better than that of sea salt, and the price is lower than that of sea salt. Which one will the people buy?"

　　"As a result, won't Yuan Shao's most proud Qingzhou Haiyan Mine be abolished? Did he succeed in counter-sanctioning him?"

　　"Also, when the lord takes control of the salt industry, all walks of life related to it will prosper. You can think about what kind of prosperity Xuchang will be in the future."

　　Inside the room, needles could be heard.

　　Nothing could be heard except the sound of breathing.

　　Everyone's brains were running fast to analyze Qin Chuan's words.

　　The originally useless Guan poisonous salt has become a top-grade green salt, which can undoubtedly easily occupy the national salt market.

　　And Yuan Shao's biggest income Qingzhou Haiyan Mine was abolished, then his hundreds of thousands of troops' rations, ordnance, baggage, and even the sergeant's salary will definitely be affected!

　　At the same time, he has become the largest salt merchant in the Thirteen Provinces of the Han Dynasty, not only can he use salt to sanction all forces at any time like Yuan Shao.

　　The income obtained can also be invested in the cost of the three armed forces, people's livelihood, and national strength.

　　Moreover, once the salt industry is prosperous, the accompanying industry transportation, restaurants, and merchants will all be driven by this industrial chain. In addition to the income from selling salt, the taxation of these merchants is a huge harvest!

　　In the future, Xuchang will become the imperial capital of the world, not because of the false name of the puppet Liu Xie.

　　Between this and the other, Yuan Shao may even be put to death!

　　"He...hehe..."

　　This longing alone made Cao Cao start to giggle.

　　In addition to being excited, Cao Cao was already holding Qin Chuan's hand uncontrollably, and he would not let go no matter how much he disliked it.

　　In the hands of Qin Chuan, this calamity became a road to prosperity.

　　Qin Chuan, ah Qin Chuan!

　　God sent you here to help me achieve the future of the industry!

　　"Brother Qin's great talent, my old Xun admires the five bodies to the ground!"

　　"Old Guo has been unconvincing in his life, brother Qin, you really opened my eyes!"

　　"The genius of the world, the genius of the world, the wisdom is close to the demon!"

　　The three found that for the first time they couldn't find a more appropriate word to praise a person.

　　"Brother Qin, you say, how to invest in this transaction and how to divide it, I will listen to you!"

　　"As for the imperial court, I will come forward to solve it. How can I say that I am also a relative of the Cao family!"

Chapter [-] Do you want to turn the world upside down?

　　This is the first time since I have known Lao Cao for so long, when I heard him say that he is a relative of the Cao family, I thought he looked so cute.

　　Indeed, in this era, even if you have the skills to practice salt, it is useless without the support of officials.

　　How could the imperial court watch such a large piece of fat fall into a cook's mouth?

　　However, with Lao Cao, the Cao family's dear things, it is much easier to handle.

　　After thinking for a while, Qin Chuan pondered:

　　"I have calculated that from buying salt fields, equipment and labor, the initial investment will be at least [-] taels of gold."

　　"Well, the four of you will each pay one thousand taels, and Lao Guo, Lao Xun, and Lao Cheng will account for [-]% of the shares."

　　"Old Cao is a relative of the Cao clan, and then I have to rely on you to move around, you can get [-]%!"

　　"I produce technology, accounting for [-]%, do you have any opinions?"

　　Qin Chuan must have understood the truth that greed can't chew too much.

　　Lao Guo and Lao Xun are also officials, and if they can become Lao Cao's best friends, they can't keep the family and backers.

　　As for Lao Cheng, he was the chief minister of Su Xia, and he was in charge of commerce. Although he was a newcomer, it was not a big problem to count him.

　　And Lao Cao, let alone.

　　This business is very difficult.

　　In Qin Chuan's view, the top has to stand up to the court, Cao Cao and others, and there are local officials below. The pressure is not small, [-]%, it's worth it!

　　"And ours?"

　　Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu could hardly believe their ears.

　　The three people are divided into [-]%, which doesn't sound like much.

　　But this is a huge deal, even if it accounts for one-thousandth of the shares, it is a business that can feed generations of people by breaking a leg.
