72 Chapter 72
Xia Xian Ling specially asked people to guard the door of the study, and repeatedly asked his daughter if anyone had seen this salt map.
"No, absolutely no one saw it!" Xia Bilei almost didn't swear, my father, your face is so ugly, by the way, it is exactly the same as his expression when she gave Qin Mao the map before.
"Bi Lei, forget about this." Xia Xianling's face was very serious, "Dad knows that you must have spent a lot of effort to draw this picture, and Dad also knows that according to what is said above, the salt output will definitely increase several times, the price of salt will drop, and the people can afford to eat salt without spending too much silver, and the salt workers don't have to work so hard...... These fathers know it, but this salt picture is destined not to see the light of day. Xia Xianling's eyes were extremely painful.
Xia Bilei looked confused, since it is so useful, why can't it be used.
Sun's heart trembled, empathizing with her husband's pain and grieving that her daughter's hard work had to be ruined.
"Bi Lei, listen to your father......" Sun said with difficulty, unlike her daughter, who knew nothing about politics, she knew the impact of the appearance of this salt map on their family.
"Oh, since you can't see the light of day, it's ruined." Xia Bilei said busily that she originally wanted to help the world accumulate merits, but if her father and mother would be in pain, then forget it, it was a big deal for her to spend money to repair bridges and roads.
"Bi Lei, do you know the effect of salt?"
"Naturally, salt is very important, and once a princess once said to the king's father that I love you like food without salt, salt is not only a condiment, but without salt you can't even guarantee your health." Isn't this contempt for her IQ, Xia Bilei was a little dissatisfied, and asked her such a simple question.
"Salt also preserves food, fish, meat, vegetables, etc." Sun added, "With salt, only the people in the capital can eat the salted fish from our seaside, and we can eat the beef jerky transported from the grassland......
"That is, to promote long-distance trade...... "Charbidie concluded.
"Taigong to the country, repair the government, because of its customs, simple etiquette, trade and industry, the benefits of fish and salt, and the people are mostly together, all of them are a big country." Xia Xianling suddenly said "Historical Records of the Taigong Family of Qi", "Bi Lei, the most important reason why Qi was able to become a strong country at that time was salt, and salt could even determine the rise and fall of a country, because the imperial court relied heavily on salt taxes. ”
Xia Bilei finally knew that Father Mao's face was so complicated, which means that she accidentally had something to do with the weapon of the country again? For the hair? Even if the map is related to the military, why is it so particular about the salt you eat every day.
"Does Bi Lei know who the richest person in our Daliang is?"
"Chubby?" Xia Bilei remembered that the little fat man looked like Lao Tzu's family didn't have much and had the most money.
"It's a salt merchant! If the rich salt merchant hollows out the home of the salt merchant in Daliang, the treasury will not have to worry for at least ten years. Xia Xianling's face was complicated, as a clear stream, he actually hated the salt merchants, "The relationship between the salt merchants is complicated, it can be said that behind each salt merchant there is an important minister of the court......
Xia Bilei wiped the sweat from her face, "If the price of salt drops, the identity of the salt merchant will not be able to maintain its high position, which means that this salt map is actually depriving them of their property...... "Fortunately, no one knows about this salt map, otherwise I am afraid that in no more than a month, her family will disappear without a trace."
"Daddy, destroy it. It's all to blame for her daughter's brainlessness, mother, how can there be fire? Why don't you ask someone to burn a brazier? ”
Sun's hand casually put on the head of his daughter, who only had a thin layer of hair, "Why is it so troublesome, it's strange if the brazier is not noticeable on a hot day, just pour it with water." ”
Xia Xianling gritted his teeth and picked up the tea on the table and wanted to destroy the salt map, his hands trembled for a while, and he couldn't do anything. The suffering of the workers of the salt station, at the end of each year, is empty waiting for the treasury of the salt tax, and the people are frugal for fear of wasting a grain of salt......
"Dad can't do it......" Xia Xian Ling Liang put down his hand in frustration for a long time, this thing is related to the strength of the country, every scholar has the dream of enriching the country and strengthening the army.
Xia Bilei glanced at her father, is it necessary to be so painful, but thinking of the importance of salt, well, if she has a large pile of soft girl coins in front of her, she will probably die of distress.
"Daddy, give it to me." Xia Bilei sighed, "I'll let Mao find a way to go." "Anyway, the nuclear weapons - the map is given to him, and there is no shortage of salt maps.
Mao? King Kang Qin Mao?
"No!" Xia County Ling blurted out, the husband is not guilty, he is guilty, the high-ranking person is afraid of wanting to kill or find a scapegoat, if King Kang casually tells the origin of the salt map, Bi Lei can definitely only die.
"Don't worry." Xia Bilei glanced at her father, her biggest secret Qin Mao knew it, and it was not worse than one or two things.
Xia Xianling hesitated for a while, and the heart of the reader who was patriotic and worried about the people was trembling, and he didn't say anything after all, forget it, throw this thing out and let others worry about it.
**
So Xia Bilei started to make plush toys again, this time making a tummy bear, which can be used as a pillow. Well, after usually padding a chair, a man's waist is also very important.
Xia Biai thought it was very interesting, and she also came to make one, she always felt that the current pillow was too hard, for example, her jade pillow, precious is precious, and her neck is always uncomfortable.
Xia Chengze yelled at him too, the big sister can't be partial. Xia Bilei is really annoyed, she is not only doing this for Qin Mao, but she can't forget the little fat man, how can she still have energy, but the dead child should not be done by others, crying and saying that the big sister doesn't care about him......
Why are the bear children so bearish! Xia Bilei could only promise to make one for him, the dead child was too annoying.
The people in the kitchen came over with a small fish with a needle, and Xia Bilei didn't say anything when she saw that the taste was six-pointed, and it was not bad that no chili pepper could do this.
Xia Xianling stared at his daughter and sewed the salt picture into the bear, and went out with a plate of small fish. Of course, he had to have a good drink when he was gone, and he found that this little fish boy was quite drunk.
Sun, who also drank with him, was already thinking about opening a shop to sell dried fish and seaweed, etc., well, this business is done, first let people buy worthless small fish, according to her estimates, this exclusive business can be done for at least a few months, but by next year may have to send Fang Zi out, and it is not good to eat alone...... The girl is right, the first rich will lead the latter to become rich, and everyone will be prosperous together.

When Qin Mao received the letter, the first snow of the winter began to fall in the capital.
The snowflakes fell like grains of salt, which was not very big, but the temperature dropped all at once. He nestled in the room, drinking hot tea, looking at the letter sent by his eldest brother.
His eldest brother, King Qin, was more than a decade older than him, and had gone to the frontier three years ago to fight the Hu people. Although there is a big difference in age, the relationship between the two brothers is good, but the relationship between the two brothers is very good. The emperor is still in good health, and he has not yet established a prince, but the concubines of the harem have broken their heads for their sons, and the previous dynasty is also surging, each with its own supporters.
Qin Mao sighed, he was very clear about the reason why his father did not appoint a prince, the reason was that King Qin had no children. It's almost thirty years old this year, and King Qin/Mansion has a lot of wives and concubines, but he has never heard a baby crying. Probably because of this, King Qin/Mansion has never been able to raise his head in front of other palaces, he was crowned king last year, and the palace is also one of the most beautiful scenery, but because he can't worry about the female dependents on the eldest brother's mansion, he went to King Qin/Mansion as a town house.
Qin Mao's eyes were indifferent, he was beaten and abducted□□ there was definitely an internal response, perhaps the culprit was his sister-in-law who looked dignified and generous. Why does no one always believe that he has never had anything * on that high throne, what is the emperor to do, get up earlier than the chicken, sleep later than the cat, tired and tired and want to find a woman to adjust it, but find that he has to go through the brand of the noble girl of the family with a background, and the harem is related to the previous dynasty! If you want to have a son, you have to consider the background of a woman, and it is absolutely not okay for relatives to be too powerful......
Qin Mao said that he could endure everything else, but he couldn't bear to die as a stallion, and he would shave his bald head whenever he liked now! Really became an emperor, fart! He also has to praise the beauty of a woman's head, and if he wants to shave, he has to consider his reputation.
The eldest brother is about to return to the court, well, the position should be more stable after winning the battle. Qin Mao held the hot tea, it would be nice if the eldest brother had a son, the eldest brother who had been running to fight with the Hu people for many years was really a proper crown prince! However, perhaps because he has no son, some people think that the emperor is actually the youngest son...... Princess Qin probably secretly cooperated with traffickers to abduct him because of this, after all, she always thought that King Qin was the one with the best chance.
"Lord Wang......" Shusheng came over with some invitations, "King Qin/Mansion sent an invitation card, saying that you are invited to the mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms." ”
Qin Mao didn't raise his head, "Don't go, idiot, I trembled when I heard that my eldest brother was coming back, I was not bullied like a quail, my heart was ruthless and I had no means, it was too much to see." ”
"Lord Wang, this is your sister-in-law after all, so let's give some face." Shusheng said two sentences meaningfully, after adapting to the vanity fair in the capital, he found many people very interesting, of course, there are many fools, Shusheng thinks that Xia Bilei has a sentence that is right, if you want to be a white lotus, you must remain pure and flawless, but your petals are black and you still want others to believe that you are white and red, and you want to be beautiful!
Qin Mao gritted his teeth, "I told my eldest brother a long time ago not to rush to get married because of his age, he said before that women are the same when they turn off the lights!" Fart, you can see the difference when you light it up, what should you do if you marry a fool and regenerate a fool......" Princess Qin was blind with a dignified and gentle face, and she only looked at her appearance and didn't look at her brain!
Shusheng looked at him sympathetically, as a bitter master who was kind enough to help but was calculated, King Kang was really unlucky, and the most unlucky thing was that he had to give Princess Qin face, otherwise rumors would spread that King Kang and King Qin's discord would also be troublesome!
"I miss Bi Lei." Qin Mao muttered, if he hadn't met Bi Lei, the women in the world would probably have been fixed by him as a fool like Princess Qin.
A drop of cold sweat flowed down from the sound of the book, and every time King Kang said that he missed Xia Bilei, there was always a girl in the capital whose hair suffered. Lord Wang, Lord Wang, the nuns here are really not good-looking, and when they heard that they were going to work in the palace, the palace maids cried and chirped one by one, and there were only monks in this palace, and no matter how long it took for a good friend, I don't know how many pairs of friends have developed!
"Lord Wang, this ...... Bi Lei's gift arrived. The book said hurriedly.
"Where? Get it. Qin Mao was first happy, then dissatisfied, "Why didn't you say it earlier." "I also chattered with him about the invitation of the King of Qin/Mansion.
Shusheng smiled bitterly, didn't he think it was better to talk about bad things first and then talk about good things. 166 Reading Network
