Of the four knights sent out by Luo Yangxing, the two who went to Changlu did not gain anything, and only the two knights who went to the salt field found Wang Wenyan and spread the news.

The reason why he rushed to the salt field was that Wang Wenyan had his own considerations. If someone wants to destroy the salt works, it is impossible to just kill the salt workers who work here, and there must be a leader to deal with them.

Zhang Shize is the grandson of the British duke, his status is noble, no one dares to move, Wang Sheng is the uncle of the grandson, the same is true, and Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch in the palace, with an extraordinary background, and it is not easy to move, from beginning to end, as long as he has been busy, Wang Wenyan, who led the establishment of the salt farm, is the most suitable.

Changlu Town is the base camp of the other party, isn't it looking for death if you stay there, not to mention that if Taisun wants to send someone, he must be guarding the salt field. Therefore, after all considerations, Wang Wenyan went to the salt field by himself, not only that, but he also brought the remaining ten Jinyi guards and Liu Bin's group over.

When the messenger Jinyiwei found him, he was supervising the production of the salt factory, and Liu Bin, who was temporarily under his command, was counting the amount of salt to prepare for future sales. The whole salt pan looks in good order, and there is no sign of being destroyed at all.

"What? His Highness actually brought someone over! Wang Wenyan was very surprised, he never expected that it would be the young imperial grandson who came in person, he thought that he would ask for the holy decree and send other troops to come over to protect it.

But at this time, he said nothing, he couldn't interfere with the decision of the imperial grandson, the only thing he could do was to tell the other party to do the things he ordered, and organize people to prepare meals and boiling water. As for the house, even without Zhu Youxiao's instructions, he couldn't afford it.

This was originally a simple salt gathering village, with only more than 200 people, and the current house is still built by him when he built the salt farm here, in order to buy people's hearts, there is no superfluity.

The food for 200 people is not a hassle to get it, and the salt farm itself is responsible for the daily food of the salters, and there are all kinds of tableware and cooking utensils, as long as you buy more food for 200 people at dinner.

That night, this order was conveyed by Wang Wenyan, and then soon the room composed of the Yanding family members was busy.

And after a short break at noon, Zhu Youxiao set off again with people. Carrying spears and cowhide backpacks, two hundred teenagers came down from the slope where they were resting, lined up on the official road, and then set off silently under the guidance of Luo Yangxing.

Compared to the morning, the afternoon trip is much more dull. After a morning's march, the boys had already exerted a lot of physical strength and did not recover. At noon, Zhu Youxiao had already notified that he would not rest at night, and he would not rest and eat until he reached his destination. In order to save every effort, naturally, the teenagers kept silent and hurried silently.

Soon, an afternoon passed, the sky slowly darkened, after an afternoon of non-stop marching, most of the teenagers' physical strength was basically bottoming out, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered, not why, just because the most expensive in their minds, His Royal Highness, was like them, from morning to now.

Your Highness can hold on, why can't we.

The sky slowly darkened, but the team still walked without listening, only the formation adjusted. The official road is already wide, and during the day, it is for fear of blocking the road, so it has been maintained that the two people walk side by side. But there were no pedestrians in the field at night, and the team was changed by Zhu Youxiao to five people marching side by side.

The whole team is greatly shortened, which can not only reduce the risk of someone being lost, but also respond in time when encountering emergencies, and a row of five people is already a small phalanx, enough to deal with most of the raids. Although the teenagers were a little weak in their steps, they still scrupulously obeyed the rules of the marching column, and the whole team was still extremely neat.

Zhu Youxiao was out alone, taking care of him before and after running, and at the same time, he read out aloud the key points of the night march in his mouth, asking the teenagers to follow their companions around them and not to fall behind, and the twenty squad leaders also asked him to count the number of people in his class every once in a while.

Because of eating meat every day, there is basically no such disease as night blindness among the 200 people, and all kinds of strict measures are added to ensure that Zhu Youxiao's team does not lose a single person when marching at night.

Changlu Town.

The entire Changlu Town, the most central area, is of course located here in the Salt Transportation Division, and the number one salt transportation ambassador in it is naturally the man of the year here, to say yes, he controls the production and sale of salt in the entire Changlu Salt District, and even the eunuchs who are stationed here and select tribute salt for the palace cannot be compared.

However, the most prosperous place in the entire Changlu Town is not located here, but the long street located at the eastern gate of the city. Changlu Town is a small town, the population is not large, the city wall is not high, and there is a city gate in the Gonggong, where the flow of people gathers, it is naturally a prosperous place. Most of the people who come and go here have something to do with salt, and they are naturally generous, and the various places to enjoy here are not much worse than those of Jingshi.

Peony Building, the best Fengyue place in Changlu Town. In the private room on the second floor, a group of people were drinking and having fun, and one of them was the person who had spread the word that Wang Wenyan had destroyed the salt works on his own.

They are all people who make a living from salt, and this is the base camp of the entire Changlu Salt District, so it is inevitable to talk about this.

"Brother Li, I heard that there is a salt factory in Tianjin, it is said that the salt is made by what salt drying method, the quality of the salt is not bad, and the fine salt is directly produced, is there such a thing?" A big black man with five big and three thick people asked with a smile on his lips.

Brother Li's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly denied it, "Where is something, Black King Kong, you must have heard it wrong, I don't know where you heard the rumors?" ”

"Haha, yes, I'm just asking casually and talking about it." Black King Kong snorted, casually revealed, and talked about other topics.

However, none of the people at the meeting came out of the fight, they were all human spirits, and they couldn't see it, this black King Kong obviously didn't ask casually. And this Brother Li's reaction also confirmed that there is indeed such a salt farm, which uses the salt drying method to produce salt.

After such an episode, the atmosphere in the room was no longer as strong and casual as before, and the banquet ended in a hurry shortly after. And Brother Li also rushed back to the Li family's mansion in the west.

Knock knock!

After entering the depths of the mansion, Brother Li stopped in front of a wing room door and knocked on the door.

"Come in." An old, but calm, voice came from inside.

Brother Li took a deep breath, pushed the door in, and was greeted by a spirited old man, who was holding a brush in his hand and practicing calligraphy with his wrist in his hand. Seeing this, he didn't bother, but stood quietly next to him, waiting for the old man to finish writing.

"What's the matter?" The old man put the brush on the pen wash, turned around and asked.

"Master, many people who came to pick up the goods already know about the salt drying field in Tianjin, even the black King Kong, who has always been cruel and has a very poor popularity." The man known as Brother Li replied respectfully.

"Got it, you go down." The old man didn't care, turned around and began to clean the brush in the wash. His purging movements are measured and full of everyone's demeanor.

"Yes, sir." Brother Li didn't say anything and retreated silently.

"Has it already spread? It's okay, it's time for the people from the south to come over, just in the past two days. The old man silently cleaned up the brush, hung it on the pen stand, and suddenly muttered to himself.

Bang!

At this moment, as soon as the old man's words fell, a muffled thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and suddenly the wind surged, and the wind with moisture suddenly blew everywhere, making the room rattle.

"It's going to rain!" The old man looked at the gloom outside, and slammed the door shut.

"Oh no, it's going to rain." At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also looked up at the sky, he never thought that it would rain in the north in winter.

"Everyone hurry up, it's coming soon, and in persistence." He shouted, then took the lead and quickened his pace. The young man in the back took a look and gritted his teeth and followed. And Luo Yangxing also took people to the salt field first, so that the people there could prepare.

Riding a horse is naturally fast, although the horse under Luo's crotch has also walked for a day, but because it is to maintain a speed with people, it is not too tired. At this moment, the distance is close, but it takes about ten minutes to arrive at the salt field.

The arrival of Luo Yangxing made the chickens and dogs jump in the salt field.

A large pile of bonfires was burned in the open space at the entrance of the village, and a large iron pot was driven on it, and it began to talk about the food that had been prepared in the morning and was heating it again. Whoever also burns it up and heats it up slowly. Others are cleaning the warehouse, preparing to clean up the place for the incoming people.

There is no way, no one expected that it would rain in the winter in the north. Fortunately, when the salt works were built, they were taken into account, and many warehouses were built, some of which were full of salt, and some of which were still empty, just enough to shelter people from the wind and rain at this moment.

It's just that when the salters were busy, they didn't notice that on the eastern sea, there were shadowy lights floating towards this side.

Tianjin City, Tianjin Bingbei Road Yamen. A man dressed as an officer hurried over and found the military reserve road in the place where the rear government lived.

"My lord, the soldiers stationed on the bell tower have noticed that there are lights approaching about twenty miles to the south, and it is judged that there are three large ships that want to anchor here." The officer's respectful report, facing the Lord of the Soldiers, his posture was very low.

"South, twenty miles." Tianjin Bingbeidao touched his beard, "It seems that a new salt farm has been built over there." As if remembering something, he raised his head and commanded, "You don't have to worry about this matter, just keep an eye on it, as long as the three ships don't come near the port." ”

"Yes, sir." Although this order was strange, the officer did not dare to ask more questions and hurriedly received the order.
