Chapter 41 Salt Production

Fusu learned that Prince Yan's wife and children had arrived, so he chose a day to visit.

When he saw Fusu, a friend who was a friend of age and was very happy, Prince Dan of Yan was very happy and introduced Princess Yan and his children to Fusu.

He had a daughter who had married and a son who had married, so these adult children did not come with him, only a few young children came.

Fusu met with a few children of similar age and warmly invited Prince Dan of Yan to send his children to Imperial College together, and everyone studied hard and improved every day.

In private, Fusu also seriously discussed parenting with Prince Dan of Yan, saying that even if he was born in the royal family, he would ask them to learn more, broaden their thinking, and broaden their horizons so that they could live a better life in the future.

Prince Dan of Yan deeply agreed. After Fusu left, he praised Princess Yan, saying that Fusu was smart and caring, and was really a rare good child.

Of course, their own children are also good, but they always feel that this child is better than anyone else’s!

Princess Yan didn't know much about Fusu, but the couple hadn't seen each other for a long time. She didn't need to have any differences with her husband on such trivial matters. Naturally, she gently followed Princess Yan's words and continued.

When Prince Yan talked about interesting things about the stadium, Prince Yan could only keep smiling.

She really doesn't understand these things very much.

Listening to Prince Yan's endless words, Prince Yan finally understood why her husband was so dark. It turned out that she often stayed in Ju Stadium, and even if she didn't leave, she had to be a coach or referee!

Fortunately, I got used to it when I looked at it. After a period of time, Princess Yan no longer felt that her husband had changed when she opened her eyes every day!

Ying Zheng sent people to Jicheng in Yan State, and naturally there were people in Yan State dormant in Xianyang in Qin State.

Soon, Prince Dan of Yan had close contacts with the powerful and powerful Qin State headed by Prince Fusu in Qin State, and the news that he sent his children to the Qin State's Imperial College was quickly sent back to Yan State.

Ying Zheng himself sent many spies to the Eastern countries and has always paid special attention to this aspect. He noticed the Yan people as soon as they had any action. He did not stop the news that was sent back to Yan, and even asked someone to give them some help so that they could quickly pass the news back.

Only you can quickly get news from all parties. It feels a little cool and lonely. It makes people want others to react quickly!

The road in Yan State was long and the response was relatively slow. The battle situation between Zhao and Han State was constantly changing. The first batch of pigeons were limited. Except for Yan State, Ying Zheng asked someone to use all pigeons on the front line. During this period, he could promptly learn about the movements of the army every day.

South Korea has been in full swing and has successfully taken Nanyang. The general proposed to ask the court to appoint a temporary county magistrate of Nanyang to allow the army to take Nanyang as a base for a short rest and expansion, so as to enter the east to capture the Han Dynasty Royal City.

Ying Zheng agreed to the request and recruited a group of soldiers to Nanyang according to the needs put forward in the letter.

The army attacked Zhao but encountered a lot of trouble. It was not that our army was too weak, but that the enemy general was too strong.

Li Mu, the chief general of the Zhao army, is the most famous general in the world, and it is difficult for ordinary people to compete with him. Li Mu is a very evil person. No matter how many different the number of enemies and us, no matter how big the problem is when taking over the mess, he has a way to reverse the situation.

Last year, the Qin army successively entered several cities in Zhao State, and the situation was very good. As a result, Li Mu was temporarily replaced there, and the Qin army was defeated.

This time, the whole country launched a large number of soldiers, and the number of soldiers sent increased significantly. Considering that Li Mu had only one, the chief general of the Qin army was divided into two groups, thinking that Li Mu had no skills and could not cope with it. As a result, Li Mu still steadily blocked both sides and even had a counterattack!

It is difficult for such a person to defeat him from the battlefield.

Ying Zheng sat leaning on the collapse, looking at the map that was placed not far away by him. His ambition was not only Zhao and Han, and it was impossible for Li Mu to be blocked just because of Li Mu.

Those who are unbeaten on the battlefield may not have no weaknesses.

Ying Zheng got up and changed into casual clothes, and left the palace in a very low-key manner. He brought not many people, nor did he take a carriage, so he left the city very quietly and came outside a house outside the city.

An old friend of his living here, named Dunluo.

Dunruo once advised him to spend a lot of money to alienate the Eastern countries, disintegrate the alliance between the Eastern countries, and destroy the trust between the monarchs and ministers of the Eastern countries.

The Qin State's treasury was not particularly full. Ying Zheng was reluctant to spend so much money at the beginning, but he was weak, but he advised him that when the six countries conquered, the world belonged to him. Could it be that he could lose this little money?

Ying Zheng felt it made sense and started sending people to spend money everywhere.

It turns out that spending money is good for a while, and spending money is good for a while.

Over the years, chaos in the Eastern countries has occurred frequently, but Qin has not had this trouble and has always been developing behind closed doors. After the development is done well, the treasury has become rich again, and people can also send money to espionage, so that they can be more completely confused...

This time, Ying Zheng wanted to have a big shot, and it would be best to destroy Li Mu, the enemy general who was posing a targeted position.

It just so happens that this year is about to have a great harvest, isn’t it just money? He has it!

Ying Zheng did not let others follow him, and went inside alone to meet him.

He didn't live in the city or become an official. However, he often traveled with Jin to travel among countries, doing things that people could not do openly. This man was quite arrogant. He told Ying Zheng that he would not be able to perform rituals from the monarch and ministers to Ying Zheng. Later, he met several times, and he never ceremonies with Ying Zheng.

Before unifying the world, as long as people can do things, Ying Zheng didn't mind this little thing.

He sat opposite Dunliu, without beating around the bush, but explained his purpose directly.

After hearing this, he pondered for a while and said to Ying Zheng: "King, this is not the time."

Ying Zheng frowned and looked straight at Dunliu, waiting for Dunliu to continue talking.

Dun Ruo said, "Li Mu is not an ordinary person."

He analyzed to Ying Zheng that Li Mu was a general of Zhao State, and now he was at the time of Qin and Zhao's war. He wanted King Zhao to touch Li Mu to make him dream in the daytime.

If it were any king, it would be impossible for him to do anything to his chief general at this time. Moreover, Li Mu held heavy troops and everyone below was loyal to him. If he was too anxious, he might turn his back.

It can be said that Li Mu is now the strongest city wall in Zhao State.

Any king whose mind is not broken will not be able to tear down his walls because others fan the flames.

Ying Zheng was a little disappointed and couldn't help asking: "Which sir thinks is the right time?"

Dunliu said: "If the Qin army failed to attack Zhao for a long time and even showed its defeat, it would be a good opportunity."

Ying Zheng looked at Dunwei with sharp eyes.

No one likes to hear the word "defeated" during the war. Why can the Qin army lose its power and get rid of Li Mu?

He was weak and was not afraid of Ying Zheng being angry. He explained in a leisurely manner: "At that time, Li Mu would definitely have a great reputation. The people of Zhao only knew Li Mu's power and did not respect the honor of King Zhao. King Zhao would definitely be in a state of peace. We just need to pour a little oil in it, and the fire would burn it."

Ying Zheng understood.

Put yourself in your shoes, if the whole country of Qin highly respects someone and the other party's limelight completely overwhelms the King of Qin, he will be wary of this person.

If it is more serious, of course, it will be the opponent's military power and kill him so that he can have a good sleep and there is no need to worry about the other party leading people into the palace one day!

Ying Zheng sincerely held his weak hand and said, "I'll ask you to do this."

Although Dun Wu said that this is not the time, you must prepare early if you want to seize the opportunity, at least the people and money must be in place first.

Dunluo had no special reaction to Ying Zheng's closeness, so he simply made his own request. He was not interested in other things and only enjoyed the secret pleasure of espionage. Ying Zheng was responsible for giving money to others and he was responsible for implementing it. This was enough, and there was no need to show that the monarch and ministers were more accompanied.

Dun Ruo knew very well that if he naively took Ying Zheng's courtesy seriously, he might be the one who turned around and ended up miserably.

No king in the world is easy to share with.

After the two of them finished their negotiations, Ying Zheng got on the horse and returned to the palace. When he happened to meet Fusu leading a group of small radish heads back, it seemed that he had just returned to the palace after school.

Ying Zheng asked someone to take the horse away, walked over and looked at the group of little guys, and found that the most conspicuous one was Fusu, who was surrounded by them.

Fusu led Jiang Lu and the others forward and called for someone.

Ying Zheng did not have the habit of coaxing children. He was very kind to everyone. He asked the little ones a few academic questions. When they answered, he waved his hands and stopped listening. He directly educated them: "Study hard in daily life, don't think about playing all day long." Then Ying Zheng gave them an example, saying that the children in a certain family had already practiced both civil and military affairs when they were as old as you. They were talented and worked diligently. You should reflect on them.

Jiang Lu and the others suddenly turned into a group of little quails, and no one dared to say anything.

Fusu was afraid that the children would be injured too deeply, so he hurriedly asked Jiang Lu and his friends to return to their palaces on the grounds that it was getting late.

Ying Zheng didn't care about Fusu's own decisions, nor did he think that there was something wrong with his education method, which was that they could not bear it.

Since the group of radish heads were gone, Ying Zheng took Fusu alone to have dinner together, and took the school exam for Fusu's recent academic status.

Fusu has been playing in the school with his classmates recently, and has improved a lot of martial arts skills. He also has free time to read books and do some chores.

This year, all households in Yunyang County raised pigs, and the Bianzhuang began to consciously screen breeds according to Fusu's instructions, striving to surpass the pigs outside in terms of quality.

Yunyang County is now full of sweet worries. There is so much pork in this county, and it is too luxurious to eat it every day. It is troublesome to rush to the neighboring county to sell it, and the price cannot be sold. Many people want to make bacon and sausages and eat it for more than half a year or be convenient for long-term sales.

Recently, news of the opening of books in Yunyang Academy has spread one after another. Many scholars traveled across the country to the school, and their thoughts were all about books in the school. Therefore, many people from other places have come to Yunyang County and brought a lot of fresh news from all over the country.

From time to time, Fusu would look at the content of the ten-day lectures summarized by the Academy. Just a few days ago, a person from the northwest told me that it was easy to get natural salt in his hometown. They never lacked salt in cooking, and even put a lot of pickled fish and pickled vegetables. He also taught in detail the skills of pickling various things in their hometown, which made people greedy.

Since ancient times, most people have relied on the mountains and water to eat water. This person’s hometown is obviously close to the natural salt lake, and there are naturally all kinds of salt.

The father and son sat down to have a meal together, and Fusu talked about this with Ying Zheng.

Since there may be a salt lake, in addition to collecting natural salt, it can also be used manually. He has seen some highly operable salt-making methods, and can ask people to go to the scholar's hometown to try it. If it is done, a salt field can be opened there, and before capturing the coastal countries, the salt there will be taken for the people to use.

You should know that salt has many uses, such as the cured meat and pickled vegetables mentioned by the scholar. Adding some salt can make them taste better; if the salt lake is large enough to provide enough salt for a long time, the people can also open up the salt and the meal will definitely be more delicious.

Fusu taught Ying Zheng a brand new method of artificial salt making, and wanted Ying Zheng to send someone to try it.

Ying Zheng glanced at him and said, "You are asking you to worry about things, you are still thinking about these all day long."

Fusu said: "Everyone eats well, and they are more motivated whether they farm or fight. It doesn't take much trouble anyway, just send a few people to try it."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to try it out afterwards."

Fusu said: "If people left early, maybe the cured meat in Yunyang County will catch up with the first batch of salt this year."

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and felt that the boy was a little more aggressive. However, after thinking about it, he called someone in front of Fusu and asked the other party to point a group of people to set off early tomorrow morning to find the salt lake to build a salt field.

If the horse walks fast, the salt lake is only three to five days away, and it is not too far. Now I can catch the dry autumn, which is dry and rainy, and I can get out the new salt.

The author has something to say: Fu Xiaosu: I have a new idea!

Ying Zheng: What do you think about? I think about it every day, it’s not decent! Let’s talk about it, do you want people or money?
