Compared with Wang Shichong's sorrow and helplessness, Li Yuan is now both happy and sad.

What I am worried about is: his old friend Pei Ji is really not a good deal for war! He has been defeated repeatedly and has been defeated repeatedly! He has not achieved any success in Jinyang so he can only maintain his persistence. The original plan to conquer Jinyang is still unknown when it will be possible to get what he hopes.

What made him happy was that since his second son took Xiao Han to Xiazhou, the small border town had turned into a lonely level and turned into a treasure!

He looked at the small bag of salt brought by the Hongling Messenger, and he looked very carefully! The salt was as white as snow and had no impurities. This was definitely the best fine salt! It was nothing compared to the salt in the palace! This was enough to make Li Yuan extremely happy!

As an emperor, a country has to work hard for all things big and small! Just talking about this small amount of salt seems simple, but it is actually extremely important! Since the Han Dynasty, salt and iron have been the key control of the country. Because the control is tight, the world is in chaos, and the salt-producing place is even a place where all heroes compete for hegemony.

At this point, the Tang Dynasty was not very lucky!

The land in Guanzhong is fertile and there is no shortage of food and grass. Only the lack of salt wells is lacking. Li Daozong and Li Jing are fighting in the south now, not only because of the vast territory there, but also because of the Zigong salt well there!

If you don’t have well salt, all that is left is sea salt!

Unfortunately, the road to the east has been cut off for several years. Wang Shichong and Du Fuwei will never let a grain of salt pass through their territory!

Just a few days ago, the censor came to report that the price of salt on the market tripled, and ordinary people have already started to complain.

The censor only asks questions, and he will always solve them himself. Li Yuan himself also knows that if he can't find the salt road, it's possible to double it, but it's possible to double it thirty times!

Now, the salt eaten in Chang'an City is the precipitated salt that was saved in the past. Even if Chang'an City is a capital of a country, it has a huge stock, but now it can't be exported. Even if there is a salt mountain, it will be eaten sooner or later!

So, when he learned that the magical boy had actually extracted refined salt from the mineral salt, he felt so ecstatic!

Can mineral salt produce salt? What did this kid think of? If it weren't for the person in Xiazhou City, Li Yuan would have wanted to catch him and ask in detail!

It should be noted that no one was going to make mineral salt in the past! There are some things on the river bank, and no one cares about them!

However, this thing is eaten by beasts and animals, but it is not enough for humans to eat!

If a person eats mineral salt, he will vomit and diarrhea at the worst, and if he is severe, he will become purple all over and die! The previous person who dares to eat mineral salt is probably his bones rotten now...

"Haha... This is really my blessing star!" This was said by Li Yuan in front of the civil and military ministers! At that time, everyone was stroking their hands to cater to him, and no refuting. Even the censor who spoke the most stinky words could not find out what was wrong.

The strange disease cannot be cured by others. Xiao Han found a method on the first day and successfully cured it!

The army had no salt to eat, so its combat power could not be increased. He could find salt once he went out, and it was said that he could produce thousands of kilograms a day! This was just the initial output!

These salts are not only more than enough to supply Xiazhou City, but also can feed Chang'an in the future! It is so magical, it is no exaggeration to say that they are lucky stars! Even superstitious people have begun to consider whether they should bring closer to him and use it with some blessings!

The credit of Fuxing is obvious to all. Compared with this, the credit that Changsun Shunde invited him in the letter is really not worth mentioning!

It’s just a mountain, although some crops are not worth mentioning! Li Yuan happily stroked his pen on the spot, and the three hills on the map, including Yangjiao Mountain, were all surnamed Xiao! As for other achievements, I will reward you when I return to Chang'an!

Several fast horses ran on the post road leading to Xiazhou City with letters written by the imperial pen.

When the messenger returned to Xiazhou City, he almost couldn't recognize this border town! Wherever the messenger could see, there were busy people!

The national production proposed by Xiao Han is terrifying! Especially these people are still soldiers who are prohibited from following orders!

Every morning, half of the people in the city practice martial arts with the instructor, while the other half go to the logistics office to help make salt. In the afternoon, the other is the opposite. During the day, everyone's skills and strength are always in exercise!

In addition, those refugees, oh no... should be called Xiazhou City people now!

Their daily task is to rely on their extremely understanding of the mountains and forests to lead a group of auxiliary soldiers and elite soldiers to the mountain to move the salt mine!

The mountain roads don’t have time to rest now, so they are still rugged and difficult to walk. There are many places where you can only pass by one person!

In addition, Xiazhou City also has strong enemies around the ring. Changsun Shunde did not dare to let too many people move to the salt mine. In the end, this team of only more than 200 people was gathered.

A team of 200 people, except for those responsible for protecting the safety, the others could only transport more than 5,000 kilograms of salt mines a day. In this way, they used mules, horses and donkeys from the city, almost all day long!

In the newly drawn salt field in Xiazhou City, Xiao Han was sitting on a big rock and looking at the smoke-filled boiling pot with melancholy expression...

"A 5,000 kilograms of salt mine produces more than 1,000 kilograms of salt. A 1,000 kilograms of salt is only enough for 70,000 to 80,000 people to eat a day. If this continues, the daily yield is only enough for people in Xiazhou City to eat for five days! No wonder they are all jealous, and the number of people increases. Eating salt alone can make people live to be poor!"

After forgetting for a long time, Xiao Han never thought that in a tiny unit, multiplied by ten thousand, it would become so terrifying!

No wonder our ancestors said that the war is about logistics. Not to mention anything else, the simplest salt can make Xiao Han discouraged! I don’t know how the people who supply food and grass in the logistics camp survived. Tens of thousands of kilograms of grain a day can make people despair if they think about it!

Unlike Xiao Han who was extremely melancholy, General Changsun Shunde has never closed his mouth in the past few days! The night owl-like laughter enveloped the sky above Xiazhou City, making people who didn't know the inside thought that there was a fairy here!

More than one thousand kilograms of salt a day, good! That’s great!!

Finally, I don’t have to chew the smelly and astringent vinegar cloth anymore! I quickly throw the thing away, it’s disgusting to see! From now on, I will let go of the salt and eat it! Whoever says this is our own thing!

Therefore, under the infinite indulgence of the general, the people in Xiazhou City now have to put a few salt beans when drinking water, and each of them is not afraid of getting tuberculosis...

For this reason, Xiao Han has said several times in the past two days that it is not good for people to eat too much salt, but it is useless at all!

Everyone nodded in front of me and agreed. When they turned around, they soaked salt beans in water again! It has been a few months since they tasted salt. If you don’t eat more, you have to wait until...

The salt that has been lost for many days has finally been replenished, and people have the strength!

After training for an hour, the soldiers in the city complained. Now, they have been training for half a day, and the remaining half of the day is still working hard! For the general, this is a good result, no better!

He raised his head and looked towards the sky to the east. Changsun Shunde had the confidence to fight with Wang Shichong for the first time!
Chapter completed!
