Chapter 191: Refined salt, share of salt

Later, Zhou Yu led his troops to the secret realm of Tongtianhai, while Ma Hongjun took the three girls to continue traveling to increase their knowledge, experience, and people's livelihood.

Let’s not talk about Ma Hongjun’s leisure time here, but let’s talk about why the Douluo Realm suddenly stepped up its offensive against China.

Let’s start with some time ago when the Crown Prince of the Sun and Moon Empire personally drove a top-notch soul guidance vessel to the battlefield.

In order to ease the conflict with the forces on Douluo Continent, Prince Sun and Moon personally stepped into the battlefield of Tongtianhai.

However, he encountered Guan Erye, a general from the Shu camp who was on patrol.

After a fierce battle, the Sun and Moon Prince relied on the advanced soul guide, but was still defeated by the brave Guan Erye. Guan Yu didn't know what opportunity he got, and his strength increased greatly. After the explosion, his strength reached the limit. The level of a titled Douluo.

Especially for the first three swords, even Lu Bu, who was the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms, felt tremendous pressure on the battlefield.

For a time, under the cover of Wei and Wu, Guan Erye showed his unrivaled power. Not only did he capture many advanced soul tools, but he also directly captured the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire.

It can be said to be a great victory. Although the three kingdoms broke up on bad terms after the war because of the spoils of war, they all felt extremely troublesome for the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire.

It doesn't matter if we let it go, and it doesn't matter if we don't let it go. If we let it go, it will appear that it is afraid of the Sun and Moon Empire, and it will not be allowed to come back and continue to intensify its attack on itself. If we don't let it go, it will be like a hot potato, which may lead to a more intense war at any time.

At the same time, the Sun and Moon Empire and the Douluo Continent jointly issued notices to the Shu Kingdom at the same time:

Return Prince Sun and Moon, hand over Guan Yu and all the Shu Han naval forces who helped him capture Prince Sun and Moon, or else send out the ultimate ban to attack and kill Guan Yu and attack Shu Han with all his strength.

Liu Bei did not grow up as a vegetarian. He was worthy of being the sworn brother of the Taoyuan Three. He immediately responded that he would never hand over Prince Sun and Moon, let alone his adopted brother. At the same time, he discussed with the other two allies how to deal with Prince Sun and Moon.

Ma Hongjun, who was traveling with the three girls, also received a letter from the Heavenly Guard. In the letter, Liu Bowen asked how to deal with Prince Sun and Moon and whether to protect Guan Yu.

Ma Hongjun sighed.

"Sigh, it seems that the war in Tongtianhai will not end in a short time. Zhou Yu's arrival should be able to relieve a lot of pressure on the military advisor. The matter of destiny of the dynasty needs to be considered in the long term."

After Zhou Yu officially recognized his master, Ma Hongjun became more aware of Zhou Yu's talent. This was also because Ma Hongjun also discovered more detailed ways to use the detection system.

By consuming a bit of luck, you can check your subordinate's talent, strength and skill cards.

Zhou Yu:

Strength: Level 79 Soul Saint.

Martial spirit: water

Potential: Lord God Potential

Talent Skill: God of Water War.When commanding the navy, he occupies the right time and favorable location.

The trump card skill: water travel.It can mobilize sea water to increase the speed of the army's sea march, up to three times.

Ma Hongjun thought to himself, without any hesitation in his heart, he wrote directly and wrote back:

One: Protect Guan Yu and never let anything happen to Guan Yu. Send Wu Han's most powerful general, Lu Bu, to ambush around Guan Yu, waiting for the Ultimate Douluo to attack.

Two: Take over the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, enter the heavenly prison, and share the pressure for the Shu Han. They must not be defeated individually.

Three: Defeat the Douluo coalition forces as soon as possible and return to Wuhan. We have important matters to discuss.

Ma Hongjun did not talk about the fate of the dynasty to anyone, and naturally he would not inform others in advance through letters.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Wu Han was the strongest and Shu Han was the weakest, so Ma Hongjun took over from Prince Sun and Moon for the sake of national justice.

This suggestion may seem thankless, but it actually set an example of righteousness for Wu Han, reflected the righteousness of the nation, and promoted the unity of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

After doing this, the four of them traveled around several villages surrounding Jinling City.

The first stop was Ma Hongjun's hometown Wutong Village, where all the residents moved from Douluo World more than three years ago.

It is worth mentioning that many Shrek Academy teachers and family members of students who are willing to bring their families to China are stationed at Shrek Academy near Wutong Village.

The second stop was Qibao Village. As the name suggests, it was full of disciples of Qibao Glazed Sect and affiliated family members such as Sword Bone Douluo.

The third stop is the Jiuxin Haitang clan, located in the south of Jinling City, that is, in the rear.

The fourth stop is Zhujia Village, which is also Ma Hongjun’s in-laws and Zhu Zhuqing’s family.

The four forces are responsible for guarding Jinling City, and they are complimenting the status of Jinling City.

It is said to be a village, but it is not much worse than some relatively backward towns, especially in terms of economy and infrastructure. Compared with towns, the difference is only in size.

Although the temple is small, it is well-equipped to describe it.

Especially Shrek Academy, as the only soul master academy, has become as famous as Yingchuan Academy in a very short period of time.

Only these two academies in the entire Han Dynasty have the ability to awaken martial spirits. What is different from Douluo World is that the martial spirits that can be awakened are called fighting spirits. As long as they are awakened, they will have good talents. If they cannot be awakened, they will not be able to awaken. Produce a martial spirit.

There is no such thing as abolishing martial arts spirits, so the status of these two colleges can be seen as average.

Ma Hongjun is also very curious about how Yingchuan College has the magic circle for awakening and things for testing soul power.

However, according to the intelligence from Tianwei, their awakening method is still different from the martial soul awakening in Douluo Continent, and the formation they use is unheard of.

But in the end, they all lead to the same goal through different paths, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Jinling City is as stable as Mount Tai. After the tour, Ma Hongjun did not plan to go back immediately. Instead, he took the three girls to start an inspection of various places in Wuhan.

Finally, as the inspection progressed further, Ma Hongjun discovered the biggest problem plaguing ordinary people, salt.

Yes, it is salt. Although salt occupies a large place among the various resources brought from Douluo Continent, it is a non-renewable resource after all.

And compared with the fine salt in the previous life, the coarse salt in Douluo Continent was still a lot worse, so Ma Hongjun and the three women started tinkering with the method of refining salt.

Based on some vague chemical memories from his previous life, Ma Hongjun finally refined edible fine salt after a week of research.

Ma Hongjun then summoned the Tianwei to handle the matter. At the same time, he demanded that this method be kept strictly confidential and that the salt mine be strictly controlled by the officials.

In the end, the method of refining sea salt was also researched by Ma Hongjun, and the whole process was arranged for Tianwei.

Half a month later, the people of Wuhan rushed to tell each other and spontaneously took to the streets to praise Ma Hongjun's merits and wisdom.

The price of salt has plummeted, and every kilogram of refined salt only costs one copper coin.What an exciting thing. The price of salt has dropped by more than ten times.

You should know that ordinary people only need two copper coins for a meal.

Later, the major families in Wuhan became dissatisfied and petitioned to raise the price of salt.

Ma Hongjun had no choice but to return to the court. At the same time, he adjusted the price of salt into three levels, worked hard on packaging, and finally divided the price of salt into three categories from low to high: edible salt, refined salt, and tribute salt.

At the same time, these aristocratic families were allowed to use their own channel power to sell on their behalf within the Han Dynasty. The imperial court sold the products to the people of these aristocratic families at the original price, and the people of the aristocratic families sold them at prices within five times higher, but they could not be sold within the territory of Wuhan.

This temporarily blocked the mouths of these aristocratic families. These aristocratic families also understood that Ma Hongjun, as the founding emperor, had absolute concentrated power, so they did not dare to force too much.

If Ma Hongjun hadn't greatly touched their interests, they wouldn't have dared to jump out.

Subsequently, Wu's three kinds of edible salt swept the entire edible salt market of Han Dynasty at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, the refining of table salt began to be a little dwarfed by comparison. Fortunately, there were many Heavenly Guard personnel, and they selected water and fire spirit owners from among them to assist in the refining, and it was finally stabilized.

The Heavenly Guards are all masters who have awakened their fighting souls or martial souls. With their addition of salt, the refining speed will naturally increase exponentially.

The money in Wu Han's treasury was even more abundant.

"Sir, why do you want to hand over the salt we refine to those aristocratic families for sale? If they don't accept it, they will be suppressed directly."Ye Lingling asked, sitting at the dining table opposite Ma Hongjun, somewhat unhappy.

None of the three girls from the aristocratic family had any good feelings towards these aristocratic families who were disturbing their travels.

"Sister Lingling, even if we don't give these aristocratic families the right to sell, they will still buy it in Wu and Han and then smuggle it to Wei and Shu to sell it at a high price." Ning Rongrong understood politics clearly and couldn't help but explain.

"Yeah, it's better to control the price of salt at a certain price and authorize it to them. Moreover, they are not the only ones who can sell it in Wei and Shu. The bulk is still our official. It's not up to me to give them the amount of supply and consumption. It's not made. In this way, they will always rely on us and be firmly bound to our warships."Ma Hongjun also explained to the three girls dotingly.

"Okay. Let me tell you how could you give in to these people? Then my Jiuxin Haitang clan must also have its share."Ye Lingling's eyes lit up and she suddenly became happy.

"I want it too, I want it too, the Qibao Glazed Sect also wants to bind the warship.".Ning Rongrong also asked happily.

"Me too." Zhu Zhuqing's temperament is still a bit cold and taciturn.

"Okay, haha, you are indeed my good wife. You always think about me. I am so happy to have you.".Ma Hongjun felt happy that the three women lived in such harmony. This was the woman she liked.

If the three tribes knew that the three women were fighting for the interests of their mother tribe on the surface, but in fact they turned their elbows outward, they would not know whether to cry or laugh.
