Great Wei Nengchen

Later, although Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, his fear of the overlord did not disappear, so he ordered that many things about Xiang Yu be erased. Instead, they are all called ~'Lu Gong', which is the title given to Xiang Yu by King Huai of Chu back then!

Pengcheng also failed to escape bad luck. It was stripped of its position as the administrative center in the southeast, demoted to an ordinary county, and the number of garrisons was strictly limited. Even officials from Pengcheng cannot be promoted and reused, and it is even more impossible to lead the army. It can be said to be restricted in every possible way!

Now that Xiao Yi wants to move the government office to Pengcheng, it is tantamount to breaking the prohibition of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. This is too bold and presumptuous, isn't he afraid of the emperor's wrath and the court blaming him?

Seeing everyone's strange gazes, Xiao Yi naturally knew what they were thinking, reached out his hand and took out an official document from his pocket, and threw it on the Shuai case, "This matter has been reported to the imperial court by the governor, and the Prime Minister has approved it~~Yes!"

"Wow!~~"

There was another uproar, and many people's jaws almost fell from shock. The move of the government office was approved by the court. Everyone who can become the master of the family is naturally a generation with extraordinary thoughts. From this incident, they There are two comprehensions. One is that in today’s Han court, the emperor has been completely emptied, and the prime minister Cao Cao has the final say. Otherwise, such an official document would not have appeared. I am afraid that the Liu family’s 400-year-old river will also be responsible for it. It's running!

The second thing is that the prime minister Cao Cao trusted the governor very much, and moved his office to Pengcheng. With the ability of "Ghost Face Xiao Lang", the court would not be afraid to produce another overlord of Western Chu, and another team that is invincible in the world. Are the Jiangdong disciples soldiers?

Without [-] points of trust, it is impossible to delegate power in this way. Of course, there is another possibility that even with the supreme power of Prime Minister Cao Cao, it is impossible to completely control the governor, so he simply does not add remote control. If it is, things will be even more amazing. What is the situation?Or both!

"The lower officials resolutely support the governor, move the government office, and take charge of Pengcheng!" Chen Qun was the first to stand up, his face was very excited. He is from Pengcheng, and now his hometown is finally about to turn around politically. The expectation of the folks for hundreds of years is naturally to be firmly supported. Whoever dares to oppose is his enemy!

Not only him, but also a few powerful patriarchs from Pengcheng also unanimously supported this decision, and expressed their willingness to donate money and food to build a brand new government office for the governor, including repairing the new state pastoral mansion, civil and military yamen They have fully contracted out the project, and they don't need a penny, it's for nothing!

No one is a fool. Once Pengcheng becomes the governing place, the status of these local clans will inevitably rise. In the future, they will benefit greatly from politics and the army. Unsurprisingly, in a few years, the ranking of the status of the clans in Xuzhou may change. After a change, they, Peng Cheng, all have a chance to hit the top ten!

As a result, the clans who were originally united as one immediately divided into two factions. As for the vows of "living and dying together, advancing and retreating together", they were all eaten as Chinese cabbage, digested, turned into bursts of gas, and excreted , For the powerful, in the face of huge interests, even their own parents can be betrayed, not to mention those companions who already have a competitive relationship.

"Move to Pengcheng and take charge of Xuzhou!"

"Move to Pengcheng and take charge of Xuzhou!"

In this way, some people strongly supported it, while others did not dare to oppose it. Even if the relocation of the government office was officially settled, whether they wanted it or not, all the 48 families donated money and food to show their respect for the governor. support!

This kind of situation is exactly what Xiao Yi wants to see. The Xuzhou gentry cannot be completely eliminated, nor can they be completely trusted. The best way now is to "win a group, attack a group, and let them be at odds forever. Only Only in this way can one sit securely in the position of State Shepherd, isn't it, this is called the way of balance!

"Come here, bring the things up, the governor wants to share a big meal with the heads of the family!"

554. Chapter 554 Gluttonous Feast

A big iron pot, a cup of coarse salt, a few wooden barrels, a few pieces of fine linen, half a frame of charcoal, and some dark stones, this is the big meal that Xiao Yi prepared for the heads of the family! '

"What does the governor mean? Is it used to cook meat?"

"You don't need so much salt to cook meat, and what are those black stones for?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand, could it be..."

A terrible thought jumped into their minds, frightening everyone, especially the aristocrats and patriarchs who were not very active in relocating the rule just now, they were even more horrified. Nine and a half, they remembered something. Legend has it that the governor has a very special hobby~~ cannibalism!

"Could it be that there is going to be a feast of human flesh today? But with so many people in the big tent, who is he going to eat? Does the governor want to eat fat and oily ones, or thinner and chewy ones, or picky ones? An unpleasant cooking~~”

"Today's big meal is specially prepared for you. The process is a bit special. I hope everyone will keep it strictly confidential and don't reveal a word, otherwise you will bear the consequences. Alright, let's start!"

Every time Xiao Yi said a word, those powerful patriarchs took a step back in fright, and a few of them with poor mental quality directly slumped on the ground, with light yellow liquid flowing from their trouser legs, and a faint heat radiating from them~~~

"Sure enough, I want to eat people. It's a 'special feast'. Who dares to say such a thing, woo~~ eat others, don't eat me~~"

Fortunately, things didn't go as everyone expected. Following Xiao Yi's order, the soldiers first put coarse salt into several wooden barrels filled with water, and then began to stir vigorously. Soon, clear water It turned reddish brown, that's because there are a lot of impurities in the sea salt!

Then the soldiers took a large wooden funnel, wrapped charcoal in linen cloth, put it at the bottom, poured the dissolved salt water in, and connected it with another wooden barrel at the bottom. After doing this three times, the original reddish-brown funnel The salt water gradually became clear and transparent~~~

Finally, the soldiers poured the filtered salt water into the iron pot, set it on fire, boiled it, and stirred it back and forth with wooden sticks. It was steaming and misty for a while~~

After the fire started, the soldiers stopped adding firewood, but threw black stones into the fire from time to time, one piece after another... After a while, those black stones began to turn red, And emit blue flames, flickering and beating~~

"Amazing, amazing~~"

Although it is not clear what the governor is going to do, everyone is still amazed. The clear salt water and the flammable stone may be a real feast!

The fire is getting stronger, the water in the iron pot is gradually evaporating, and some white crystals begin to appear on the edge of the pot, the particles are uniform, and the color is white and bright, which is very pleasing~~

The clan masters couldn't sit still anymore. At this time, even the most stupid people could see some way of doing it. Everyone gathered around the iron pot, watching this miraculous scene with their own eyes. It was even brighter. When the iron pot was completely dried up, a layer of white and blue crystals appeared, and everyone's eyes were about to light up like lanterns~

"Refined salt! ~~ It's refined salt!"

Regardless of the heat in the iron pot, all the Patriarchs stretched out their hands and grabbed it. Their hot fingers were red and refused to let go. Everyone was smiling, the flesh on their faces twitched~~

They all know this kind of white crystal, it is refined salt, and most dignitaries and dignitaries use it to rinse their mouths. very!

The family members are all rich, and they usually use this kind of refined salt, so it is not unusual, but what they saw with their own eyes just now is that a few soldiers just used an iron pot, a few buckets of water, and some charcoal to put the original Rough sea salt has been turned into high-quality refined salt. The process is simple, and the labor and materials are not much. It can be produced on a large scale. Just thinking about the profits makes people jealous~~

Among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, people in the coastal prefectures of You, Qing, Xu, and Yang are cooking salt. Because the mouth of the Yellow River is in the north, the sea water there is turbid and is called the Yellow Sea. The quality of the boiled sea salt is also extremely poor. It's almost half sand and half salt, it's hard to eat!

In the south, Xuzhou and Yangzhou are close to the East China Sea. The water quality is relatively clear, and the quality of the boiled sea salt is also good, but even the best sea salt is coarse salt after all. Compared with the fine salt that is as white as powder and as fine as sand , the price difference is more than dozens of times, and the supply is often in short supply, there is no market for the price, no matter how much there is, it can be sold quickly!

"Big meal, it really is a gluttonous feast!"

"Sent it, we sent it, this is a golden mountain!"

"Inexhaustible, in short, endless!"

The 48 house owners, all with red eyes, have a business of buying sea salt along the coast. If they process the rough salt into refined salt in this way, they can quickly occupy the national salt market and overwhelm the other three states. As for the profit, it is definitely an astronomical figure, enough for their children and grandchildren to eat endlessly~~

"Willing to die for the governor!"

"Willing to die for the governor!"

After trying to understand the powerful relationship, everyone turned over and knelt down, bowed to Xiao Yi, and bowed their heads in admiration, "My brother, my dear brother, why didn't you bring out such a big meal sooner? Knowing that there is such a miraculous method, there is no need for you, the old man, to destroy the Chen family in Guangling. Now, whoever dares to oppose the governor will block their way of making money, and they will never die!"

"Everyone, are you still satisfied with this big meal? Coarse salt can be purified, and the price can be increased by dozens of times. And this kind of flammable stone is abundant in the mountains around Xuzhou. It is not difficult to mine, and the firepower is enough. , resistant to burning, not only can boil salt, smelt iron, cook, and keep warm, but also easy to preserve, not afraid of rain, but it is a god given by the thick soil!"

Xiao Yi's small face is full of complacency. It is just a simple physical dissolution experiment, but it can increase the profit of the product hundreds of times. Not only can it earn a huge amount of money, but it can also allow the Han people to eat better and more hygienic refined salt , This is definitely a great thing that benefits the country and the people!

As for those black stones, they are coal. They were discovered and used in Shanyang County before. It is not uncommon. After taking charge of Xuzhou, Xiao Yi sent out his confidant squirrel and his 'digger army' , Exploring the mountains and looking for treasures, it turned out that Xuzhou is really a treasure land of geomantic omen. There are many copper mines and iron mines, and there are even several large coal mines, and they are open-air, easy to mine. Don't patronize, anyway, it's all underground, don't dig for nothing!

"The governor is really the reborn parents of my people in Xuzhou. A villain is not talented, so I am willing to take on the matter of purifying refined salt~~"

"What? You take it on, and with this old man around, it's not up to you in terms of qualifications and strength~~"

"I won't do it, and no one will try to do it. I'll smash the pot for you~~"

....................................

In the mundane world, who doesn't have a big "profit" on his head? In order to compete for the huge profits of sea salt purification, a group of powerful and patriarchs quarreled fiercely. Some people want to swallow it all, while others firmly oppose it. Privately recruited allies~~

Even though they are all old guys who are half buried in the ground, they are extremely fierce when they fight at this time, their voices are getting higher and stronger, and they are getting stronger and stronger.

In the end, it was Chen Qun and the other most prestigious patriarchs who came forward to appease everyone. After some discussions, they finally made a decision. Such a huge profit cannot be monopolized by one or two families, but it is the joint efforts of 48 families. Everyone works together to make this business bigger and better. As for the profit, it will be divided into 49 shares according to the contribution of each company~~

"Someone said, 48 families, why should the profits be divided into 49 shares?"

It's very simple, the commander-in-chief Xiao has to take a share, and it must be a large share. After all, the method is provided by others, the territory is managed by others, and most importantly, the military power is in the hands of others. Hold on tight!
