The Empress’s Gigolo

Dayao, a small town with neither a tens of thousands of people nor a special product with a population of tens of thousands.

"The salt team is here! The salt team is here!" As a convoy entered the city, the city suddenly boiled.

Many people took their bags and ran to somewhere in the city, and when they ran there they found people who were already densely packed.

A young man with a thick eyebrow standing in the crowd felt the congestion behind him, turned his head and glanced behind him, and shouted out loudly, "What is crowded? This time the convoy is so big, there are ten people It ’s good for one to buy salt. It ’s better to go out and pick stones and lick them. If it ’s too late, the stones will be gone! ”

The so-called stone picking refers to a type of marble rock outside the city, bitter and salty, and slightly poisonous. But these days, there is a shortage of salt. Many people have no salt to pick up this kind of stone outside the city and come back, lick a bite and eat a bite of meat.

If Ren Baqian is here, you know that this is a carbonate rock.

With the words of the young man, he was suddenly scolded at the back, and a short time later, a chaos broke out in the crowd. The 70-80-year-old man jumped two or three meters high and kicked out with a strong wind ... The pair of fists at the side didn't know how many people's eyes had been hit, and even a ten-year-old child was drilling in the crowd from time to time.

Fighting is the nature of the ancients, even the seemingly simple residents of this town.

So it's not uncommon for a little common thing to happen.

The basic process is generally: "What do you mean?" "What do you mean?" "I pump you!"

Then there was a fight. It's just a large-scale chaos like today, and it has only recently been so every time a salt team arrives.

Because of lack of salt, many people feel that they have become weaker recently.

When the newly formed militia corps stopped the chaos in the field, many people were glaring at each other with injuries, but they laughed a long time later.

It didn't take long for the militia group to send several carts of salt bags to the open space in front of the crowd, and began selling at low prices under the auspices of the city order, and each person could only buy three or two.

"The price is so low! Unfortunately, it is too little, otherwise we buy more and store it at home, so there is always no salt." Someone whispered in front.

"Dream! Thanks for coming early today, otherwise these are not available."

After seeing the salt in front, the people behind were suddenly disappointed. As the boy just said, one in ten people can buy it.

"When can there be salt?"

"Yeah! I don't have any energy without salt!"

"Everyone, Izumo, Chenguo, and Daxia have broken our salt road. It has been two and a half months without a bag of salt in!" This city and city commander, also a few masters in the city, stood in a loud voice .

"Kill them! Take back the salt!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The crowd below shouted suddenly, the original people were suddenly full of murderous spirit, and a fierce look appeared on their faces.

If people in other countries see this scene, they can understand why the ancients clearly have such a small population, but they can compete with other countries, even in terms of population, financial resources, materials, and equipment, and even win.

Even if they have lived in this plain for seventy years, the bones of these people are still full of that wildness.

Even the children who grew up fighting the beasts on the mountain are still full of fighting in their blood.

"Everyone, I no longer need to transport salt from the outside. I have my own salt field." Cheng Ling said.

As soon as this word was spoken, everyone below was stunned.

Dayao's salt comes entirely from several other countries. This is something even children know. When did Dayao have its own salt field?

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Ren, the President of Zizhu Academy. It is he who has figured out how to make salt in the brine in the mountains."

Everyone wondered below, where is this Zizhu Academy? Who is Mr. Ren? I don't remember there is such a person in North Korea.

It took a long time for someone to remember, wouldn't this be the little white face that His Majesty was looking for?

"Which is your Majesty's face, what do you mean by your lord?" Someone asked.

"I'm rude!" Cheng Ling first sank, then pondered, although this was a little disrespectful to His Majesty, it seemed nothing wrong. He knew more than the people knew. He also heard about some things in the war between the North and Daxia before, but he still regarded him as a small white face, let alone others.

"Xiaobailian is because his face is white!" Cheng Ling added.

"I didn't say anything else!" The voice in the crowd made everyone laugh, and the city made the sentence better.

"Anyway, thanks to Mr. Ren, we have salt to eat. But this salt has just been made for a few months, and it has to be scattered and transported to cities, so it is now a little less. But in the future, this salt will be more and more. There will be, so don't worry about it. "

Although the people below are smiling hippie, the tension caused by the lack of salt has eased a lot, and the impression of Ren Baqian in his heart is also very good.

Ren Baqian's popularity among the people has increased a lot.

...

Ren Baqian and the Empress spent more than three months in Tianjing, and many things happened outside.

There are three things that have attracted everyone's attention. The first is the battle between the northeast capital city and the Izumo country.

Before the emperor entered the heavenly landscape, Zhu Wuzhen scattered the main city coalition forces into Da Yao, destroying the village and destroying the village. It was exactly the same tactics as Da Xia then.

In the early days, some border villages were broken, but the villagers also taught the city main coalition forces in Yun Kingdom how to be human.

The number of troops was less than two thousand, and they even ate in front of hundreds of people's stockades, which made the city's main coalition lose face.

The reason is that the unguarded village had no time to transfer, so there was no retreat, even if the battle was last to the end.

However, the young soldiers of the city-lord coalition army will retreat if the casualties exceed 15%, and the casualties will collapse when the casualties exceed 20%.

In addition, most of the adult ancients have the strength of human warriors.

In this way, the advancement of the cloud country in the early stage was extremely slow.

When they settled into a large army, the newly trained army arrived ...

The results can be imagined ...

When Ren Baqian and others returned to Gucheng ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Zi Donglai had already laid down four cities in the cloud country.

The second thing is that Chen Guo, already known, sent troops to declare war.

The fighting in the southeast was not fierce, and it seemed that Zhuoyue and Chen Guo did not have much interest in fighting. The two sides displayed at the border every day with big eyes and small eyes, and occasionally played a small game, more like a show than war.

Da Yao is very happy about this, but he doesn't know how long this situation can last.

The third and most important thing is that the routes of salt transportation from Daxia, Izumo, and Chen Guo to Dayao have all been broken. Since Chen Guo sent troops, no grain has been transported into Dayao, which has made many people nervous.

Fortunately, the court recently released a batch of salt with a total of 100,000 stones, or 1.2 million kilograms, enough for more than 3 million people to eat for one month. Restrictions could barely reach 7 million people.

And the court is still vigorously preaching that Ren Baqian has worked out how to make salt in the mountains.

The people's trust in the court was still very high, just like what happened in that small town, which was staged everywhere, which also eased the tension in all places.

However, only a few people know that these salts have been accumulated for half a year.

Although salt wells have been dug out and salt fields have been gradually expanded, the three-month salt production rate has increased significantly compared with the previous three months. The monthly output of salt is only 30,000 shi, barely enough for one million people to eat.

Next, the most important thing is to rely on Zidong to grab in Yun country.

Therefore, the first order of the empress was to give Zidong, occupy Yun country as fast as possible, and return the salt found in each city to Dayao.

With the command of the empress, Zi Donglai completely let go of her hands and feet, and the offensive was in full swing.

After another half a month, Ren Baqian and the female emperor finally returned to Lancheng.
