Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

One hundred thousand rock salt!

In other words, it was twice as much as the 50,000 stones of sea salt he bought from the Mi family earlier.

"Ziyou, where did you get the other fifty thousand rock salt?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yuan in surprise.

"As the old saying goes, I have my own channels, so Mr. Wang doesn’t need to ask any more questions."

Cao Yuan grabbed a handful of salt and said calmly:"As long as the court can give me two more months, I can get another 100,000 stone salt. The total of 200,000 stone should be enough to solve the salt shortage, right?"

"Two hundred thousand rock salt? Cao

Cao's eyes brightened and he laughed and said,"Of course that's enough. If you can really do it, you will have done a great service for Mr. Cao!""

"I don’t want the credit, just give it to Master Wang! Cao

Yuan chuckled:"I just want money. The money the court used to buy Mi family sea salt, I want to put it in my pocket!""

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This Cao Yuan is still obsessed with making money as always. No wonder he asked for this job of buying salt. It turned out that he wanted to take this opportunity to make another windfall.

"No problem, as long as the salt shortage can be solved, Mr. CaoDon't ask where the salt comes from"

"Ziyou, you can make this money confidently and boldly!"

Cao Cao nodded happily.

"Dealing with Mr. Wang is a pleasure!"

Cao Yuan laughed, but changed the subject,"However, although my two hundred thousand stones are not five times more than Mijia sea salt, it is still slightly more expensive than ordinary Hedong salt by 30%."

"Why is this?"

Cao Cao's smile disappeared, suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"Master Wang can tell at a glance."

Cao Yuan smiled playfully, grabbed a handful of salt, and stuffed it into Cao Cao's hand.

Cao Cao looked at the white salt in his hand, but he couldn't see any reason for it. He couldn't guess what Cao Yuan meant.

At this time,

Guo Jia was also curious. He stepped forward and grabbed a handful, looked at it carefully, and even put it into his mouth.

After rolling his eyes a few times, his pupils suddenly focused!

"Well salt!"

"Master, this is the finest well salt from Shu!"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with great joy.

Cao Cao was shocked. Without thinking too much, he hurriedly took a handful of it into his mouth.

It was salty enough and tasted right.

He stared at it carefully and saw that the salt grains were extremely fine and there were no impurities. Very little.

It is indeed the best well salt!

This thing is the best among salts, far better than the sea salt of the Mi family.

But this well salt is only produced in salt wells in Shu.

The mountains in Shu are so high that transportation is inconvenient, not to mention the feudal princes now divided. , the salt road from Shu to the Central Plains has been cut off for many years.

What method did Cao Yuan use to transport 50,000 stone well salt from Shu without anyone noticing in less than a month?

"Ziyou, how did you get this well salt all the way from Shu?"

Cao Cao suddenly turned around and looked at Cao Yuan with surprise and confusion.

"Again, I have my own channels, so the chief clerk shouldn’t ask any more questions. After Cao

Yuan had played off the mystery, he smiled and asked:"I just want to ask the chief clerk, is the price of this well salt 30% higher? Is it still suitable?""

"Suitable, so suitable!"

"Big Ear Thief's sea salt is of the worst quality, and he dares to pay it five times more. Your top-quality well salt is only 30% more expensive, so it's like giving it away for free!"

Cao Cao smiled from ear to ear, looking at the well salt in his hand as if he were holding a treasure.

Cao Yuan laughed and said:"Master Wang really knows the goods. We have old rules. This windfall will be divided into 30 and 70. What does the master think?"

Of course, you still have to pay for the benefits.

Cao Cao was startled and said curiously:"Ziyou, you will soon be my niece and son-in-law. These are all members of my family, do you still need to be so polite?"

"One thing for one thing. Cao

Yuan said sternly:"The share that should be given to the chief bookkeeper will not be less for the lower official. My dear brother, I will settle the accounts tomorrow.""

"This guy is very good at making a distinction between public and private matters....."

Cao Cao stroked his beard, secretly approving in his heart.

Afterwards.

Cao Cao's face showed gratitude, he put away his smile and bowed to Cao Yuan.

"Mr. Wang, what do you mean? Seeing Cao

Cao's sudden salute, Cao Yuan was a little caught off guard.

Cao Cao said seriously:"You have saved so many lives with these two hundred thousand rock salts. On behalf of Duke Cao and the people of Yan and Hezhou, I thank you!""

Cao Yuan's heart was shocked, and his eyes were a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this Wang Bi was not only greedy for money, but also cared about the people.

In Cao Yuan's eyes, the image of this"Wang Master" Suddenly I got a little taller

"The king's words are serious. If you take off your big hat, your subordinates will not be able to bear it."

"I, Cao Yuan, am not that noble. To be honest, I just want to make money."

Cao Yuan laughed and laughed at himself.

Cao Cao was startled, then laughed and said:"Cao Ziyou, you are really a frank person, very good, and I like it very much!"

Cao Yuan laughed and invited Cao Cao back to the county house to have a drink.

Cao Cao was worried about Xu Du, so he left immediately on the pretext of returning to his life.

When passing by Xia Houjuan, Cao Cao winked secretly and whispered. :"Your future husband is related to the future and destiny of my Cao family, so you have to keep an eye on him for me!" Xia

Houjuan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said:"Uncle, don't worry, I will protect him with my life.""

"That's good. When you finish this errand and return to Beijing, it's time for uncle to enjoy your wedding wine, haha~~""

Cao Cao laughed heartily and strode away.

Xia Houjuan's face was stained with clouds, and a bit of embarrassment flashed in his starry eyes.

"Zhongkang, load the other 50,000 stone well salt into trucks and transport it to Xudu."

After Cao Yuan saw Cao Cao off, he ordered.

Xu Chu had long been accustomed to Cao Yuan's magical methods, but he didn't ask any questions and accepted the order happily.

Xia Houjuan asked curiously:"Ziyou, what method did you use? Actually bought 50,000 stone well salt from Shu?"

Her name for Cao Yuan also changed from"Mr. Cao" to"Zi You", which made her a little closer.

"What to do with these boring things?"

"Come on, follow me back home, let’s continue playing Landlord!"

Cao Yuan, after casually perfunctory, took her hand and strode out of the salt warehouse.

"He is really a man with great powers and unpredictable abilities."

"Could it be that as his uncle said, the future and destiny of the Cao family really depended on him?"

Xia Houjuan looked at Cao Yuan's back, his thoughts turned around, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
