"But one by one." He Chong thought for a while and said, "For more than a month, Shouchun sent some people to various counties. The county magistrate of Yinling once surrendered to Zuhuan, but later returned to the country and detained several Liang people and tortured them.

After some questioning, I learned that they are actually looking for craftsmen of all kinds and even merchants who have sold goods to other counties."

"Huh?" Shanya confirmed.

Craftsmen are easy to understand, but what is the use of merchants?

In Shan Xia's opinion, scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants are the most useless.

It does not contribute to farming, but confuses people's hearts.

Shao Thief Haolie was also a hero of his generation. How could he attach so much importance to merchants? It is difficult to understand.

However, if you don’t understand it, stop thinking about it and just continue to observe.

Thinking of this, Shan Ya retracted his thoughts and said: "Second Dao, I will not stay here any longer. Hefei depends on you, you must hold it. I am worried that in the cold winter, the thieves will move south in large numbers, so we must not ignore it.

The son-in-law of the Sun family in Le'an.

The old man's first words shocked Zhang Shuo: "What is the most profitable thing in Huainan?"

Seeing that Zhang Shuo didn't answer, the old man didn't force himself. He just smiled and said, "General, maybe you can capture some tea mountains and bamboo gardens for me?"

After saying these two sentences, the old man drifted away, still saying to himself: "Everyone in the world praises Zhu Bai Zhen, but I love that it can make money..."
