Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 217 Salt Needs a New Deal

Chapter 218 Salt Needs a New Deal

"System, you are too stingy. In order to continue to rebuild Luoyang, I was forced by Yang Biao to set a two-year period! You just give this little reward? At least give some extra force value!"

"The system rewards are related to the task itself and the completion status of the host, and are not affected by other circumstances!"

"Ding, please pay attention to the host. A new mission has appeared to prevent other forces from getting involved in the management of salt. If you complete it, you will get rich rewards."

"My dear, what do you mean? The young master's salt has been targeted?"

Cao Chong has long expected that the benefits of salt and iron will attract people's attention, so Cao Chong's salt has been dumped to Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiangnan. He has never set foot in the north, just to save face for the northern gentry.

Even in the Guanlong area, Weiwei, the Sili school, wanted to buy salt from Xudu and transport it to Guanlong to sell. Cao Chong didn't participate at all. Fortunately, his modesty was considered a sign of fear by them, and they took the initiative to fight for it. Very bullying!

The release of the new task of the system has also become an early warning.

After learning that someone was cheating on her salt, the beautiful young women are all gone!It made Zhen Mi look resentful.

Salt is an important source of income for Cao Chong, and it is also an important strategic material, so how can it be lost.

Cao Chong immediately called his friends from every corner for a meeting.

"Young master, who wants to pay attention to the salt?" Cao Yan asked with a frown.

Cao Yan felt that he had been negligent of his duty recently, and he hadn't found out who was the chief envoy in Luoyang pretending to be a civilian husband; there were many people conspiring to prevent the reconstruction of Luoyang, but he didn't know anything about it;

"I don't know, the Prime Minister's Mansion only gave me vague information." Cao Chong pushed his source of information to the Prime Minister's Mansion without hesitation.

"The benefits of salt and iron may not be tempted by one or a few people." Fazheng said.

Cao Chong frowned. One or two opponents are easy to deal with. If it is a group of people or an interest group, his own strength is still too weak.

"The most widely circulated salt in the world is Chiyan from Hedong and sea salt from the coast. The sea salt mainly includes Lu salt from Donglai, Huaiyan from Yangzhou, and Wu salt from Wujun. Among them, Wu salt is the most famous." Zhou Buyi began to analyze .

"The other thing is that Wuyan and Huaiyan have no separate families. The salt merchants in the two places basically advance and retreat together, so the young master actually offended the gentry in both places by dumping salt in Jingzhou and Jiangnan." Zhou Buyi continued to analyze.

"The last time Wei Ji transported salt to Guanlong, the gentry in Hedong may not have blamed the young master."

"You just say that I have enemies all over the world!" Cao Chong said angrily.

"Benefits touch people's hearts, and this has nothing to do with the young master." Zhou Buyi laughed.

"Let's think about how they will pay attention to food salt, think about it in many ways, and make a plan in advance, so as not to be directly persecuted in the court like last time." Cao Chong said.

"I think they will still find a way to let the government directly intervene in the sale of salt..."

"Well, the salt and iron monopoly has been practiced in Dahan for many years, and the special policy has also changed many times..."

Cao Chong and his friends spent the whole afternoon discussing and imagining how the other party would get involved in the salt business, and proposed various countermeasures.

It didn't stop until Wen Jiao came back in the evening, but Wen Jiao joined the discussion with great interest.

The next day, Cao Chong continued to go to the morning court. On the one hand, he wanted to see the outcome of yesterday's quarrel, and on the other hand, of course, he wanted to see what kind of person wanted to beat his attention, and what would be the solution.

It is impossible to abolish the farming system, but Lao Cao has made some concessions.

Lao Cao promised that in the future, except for the places close to the front line, the rear would not add new farmland areas, and promised that at the right time, some of the farmland areas would be designated as counties first to see the effect.

As for when is the right time, Lao Cao didn't say.

Lao Cao also knew that the Tuntian District could not exist forever, and it would be an inevitable result to gradually transform into counties in the future.

As for when, Cao Chong estimates that it will be impossible for at least ten or twenty years, and maybe it will not appear until the world is not unified.

On this little matter, the two gangs have been talking about it for half a morning.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Cao Chong thought that no one would come forward to plan his salt interests today.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty saw that the matter in Tuntian District was settled, and it was half noon, and he was about to announce the end of the dynasty!

"Your Majesty, I still have something to announce!" Zhou Hui bowed.

"Why is Zhou Aiqing playing?" Han Xiandi was a little tired.

"Your Majesty, since Dong Zhuo's chaos, many old court laws have gradually been abolished..."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was a little unhappy, why mention Dong Zhuo?Talk about something.

"...Now the north has gradually stabilized, and some old rules and regulations have gradually been restored..."

Cao Chong was so crowded for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, this man can really talk!

"Salt and iron have been an important weapon of the country since ancient times. It is necessary to investigate. I heard that the price of salt in the Guanzhong area has skyrocketed several times a while ago, and the people are miserable. Please restart the law of salt and iron official management, starting with salt!"

Stuffed!You finally got to the point!
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard this, he suddenly regained his energy. Last time, it was Cao Chong who took salt to ask for a lot of benefits from me, and this time he also let him bleed a little!

"What do you think?" Han Xiandi asked with interest.

"What Zhou Shaojian said is very true, I think it's a great good!"

Before those who wanted to make trouble began to cheer, Cao Chong first praised him loudly.

Then those people were all dumbfounded!
Didn't it be agreed that Zhou Hui would first propose the supervision of salt and iron, and wait for others to get together to make peace, and then everyone will force Cao Chong to hand over the salt management rights?

How could Cao Chong be the first to jump out and take the lead in appreciating?
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and many courtiers were also dumbfounded: This is obviously aimed at you, and you still jump out to applaud?
Lao Cao was angry at first, then confused.

"Your Majesty, salt is not only an indispensable item for the three meals a day for the people of the Han Dynasty, but also related to the taxation of the court, which really needs to be strictly supervised." Cao Chong stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

"Yesterday, Weichen, Zhou Shaojian, and several other colleagues carefully discussed the problems that my big man is currently facing in the salt administration, which are mainly manifested in three aspects."

Hey!
No, when did I discuss it with you?

Zhou Hui hurriedly defended: "Cao Chong, when did I discuss it with you?"

"Cao Chong admires Zhou Shaojian's patriotism!" Cao Chong chuckled at Zhou Hui, and continued to report to Emperor Xian of Han without giving him a chance to interrupt.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Shaojian and Wei Chen agree that there are three main problems in our Han Dynasty's salt administration: First, the price of salt is too high. The current price of salt in our Han Dynasty is twice that of Mingzhang Dazhi. Now the people of the world are suffering. Unbearable, the high price of salt makes people's life even more miserable!"
