75_75600 "Hu Xia is the place where the salt pond in the east of the river is located, and in the past, Hu Xia was able to get rich, relying on selling salt. ”

There happened to be a powerful minister of the Xia Kingdom here, and when Helian Ding heard Yuan Fang mention the salt pond in Hedong, his expression suddenly narrowed, and he nodded.

"That's right, the salt producers in Hedong are several times larger than those in other places."

"Everyone in the world knows that salt is produced in salt ponds, but they forget that in the past, the Qi State took advantage of fish and salt, and its population increased greatly, making it a hegemon. Beiyan produces sea salt, the main salt by the sea, which is lower than the cost of the salt pond, and the salt stove is almost endless. The benefits of the salt pond are so great that everyone dare not imagine. ”

Yuan Fang continued to explain: "The white salt, black salt, Hu salt, Rong salt, stinky salt and other salts produced in Beiyan and Hedong Yanchi are not produced in all countries, and even the Song Kingdom purchased them at a high price. Needless to say, white salt is as white as Kexue, its taste is beautiful, the refined salt used by officials and His Majesty is, black salt to treat abdominal distension, Hu salt to treat eye pain, Rong salt to treat sores and ulceration. In addition to these salts, there are various inedible salts that are used for other purposes and are more expensive than table salt......"

He Mullan squirmed his lips a few times, remembering something.

Salt water was used as a disinfectant when medicine was incomplete, and it has been the case until modern times, and it is normal for salt to be rich in various minerals and disinfectant ingredients when it is purified and impure.

As a medical student, Hermulan learned how to purify coarse salt.

Although she can't find solutions of hydrochloric acid, barium chloride, or sodium carbonate now, she does know what minerals contain these ingredients, and some can even be derived when drying salt, such as barium chloride salt.

But she didn't know if the science and technology of this matter had already been developed and could be accurately purified, after all, she had never heard of this large pile of salt that Yuan Fang said in modern times, and she did not dare to underestimate the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people.

The iron weapons of the high-rider were not inferior to the iron weapons of her time.

The coal used by the Gaoche people for ironmaking can only be produced by the coal mines of Jinshan outside the Guan, and the good name "Tinder" has protected the secrets for generations.

But where is Heijo?

Pingcheng is in Datong, Shanxi.

When it comes to what Shanxi produces, except for vinegar, all that everyone thinks of is a coal boss.

At this time, people use charcoal instead of coal, because coal refining will produce a lot of toxic gas, the slightest carelessness will cause death, the inside of the customs is not like the outside of the customs, there are many trees and there is no shortage of charcoal-burning materials, so everyone uses charcoal that is more economical, more environmentally friendly and safer.

Without pressure, there is no motivation, and naturally no one has studied the role of coal.

But the high-speed car people can only use coal to make iron, and cow dung is not so high, so the high-speed car people have mastered the rough technology of using coal as fuel, as long as it is studied, the temperature of the furnace can be further improved, and the steelmaking and ironmaking will become more sophisticated.

He Mulan only had to open her mouth to explain a word, but she wanted to say something and stopped, and finally closed her mouth.

These words, let's go back and say them to Tuoba Tao when there is no one.

It's just that the iron-making technology of this era has been promoted to make weapons sharper, whether it is progress or cruelty, Hemulan really doesn't dare to think about it.

Yuan Fang was still boasting at this time: "...... In addition, Liang domestic gold, silver and jade, and then to the west, the crystal cups, agate plates, glass bowls, red jade gui, spices, and fine wines produced in the Western Regions and Daqin are all in Beiliang turnover, and if you take Beiliang, there will be countless trade things, and the trade road can also be smooth......"

"Yanzhi Mountain produces rouge, and the Song Kingdom and other places take Yanzhi Mountain's rouge as the best, and the demand is ...... great."

"People can't go up to the places where Jiuquan is hanging on all sides, but looking at the flames from afar like the color of cast copper, gold will definitely be ......produced in the mountains."

"Tuyuhun produces ghee, the ghee is thick, the summer puff does not use utensils, it is placed on the grass and trees and does not disperse, it is very good to make the crisp, a piece of cheese has to be more than a bucket of crisp, and all places are welcome......"

Yuan Fang was still narrating the goods that could be bought and sold as commodities in various places, and Tuoba Tao and a group of people, including Helian Ding, suddenly showed strange expressions, and He Mulan even stopped drinking:

"Hurry up and don't say it again, according to what you say, we will fight Beiliang after we finish fighting Beiyan, we will fight Tuyuhun after we finish fighting Beiliang, and we will open up trade routes again after fighting Tuyuhun. The production of the Western Regions is so good, do you want to lay down the Western Regions again......"

"Isn't His Majesty's ambition to unify China known to the whole world? If it weren't for that, why would the Song Kingdom act like this and scatter all the great wealth? ”

Yuan Fang smiled and asked, "What I said, isn't it what His Majesty thinks in his heart?" ”

All of a sudden, except for Helianding, everyone wailed.

Because they knew that Tuoba Tao would definitely be moved.

Sure enough, Tuoba Tao was so excited that he called out the name of the ancestor a few times, and then nodded again and again: "Yes!" Mrs. Cui often said, 'Although the countries have descended, it is better to get in the pocket'! Now that the Western Qin has been obtained, although the goods of the Liang Kingdom cannot be obtained, the trade routes of the Western Regions have been opened, Pingyuan Gong, you are really my nobleman! ”

Under his excitement, he hugged Helianding's shoulder and patted it vigorously, and Helianding, who was beaten upside down, bared his teeth and grinned, because Tuoba Tao's strength was too great.

If it weren't for Helian Ding's ability to see that he could use Western Qin as a springboard to attack Beiliang and trade with the Western Territory, why would he risk great danger to defeat it as the capital for his advancement?

Now that Tuoba Tao was overjoyed, and even said such words as "nobleman", Helian Ding was suddenly satisfied, but he pretended not to care and hummed with an expression on his face:

"It's good to remember this sentence in the future, and it's not in vain for me to work hard."

Gu Bi smiled bitterly, he knew that the change of the "three-long system" would not come so early. Because of Yuan Fang's words, the suzerain's supervision and protection system has become a less critical matter, but it is the problems of private officials and businessmen who have fake loans, impassable trade routes, poor production, and insufficient population have been put at the forefront.

However, to solve the root cause of these problems, it will destabilize the forces in various places, which is a very dangerous thing for a country that has not yet settled and has only been established for a few decades.

In this way, the only way to solve the problem of the state's tax revenue and the income of officials is to increase the country's revenue, reduce the dependence on local suzerains, and dare to risk the danger of shaking the country's foundation.

Obtaining a large amount of foreign wealth through business and commerce is indeed a way to obtain wealth with the least impact on the country.

That's why Yuan Fang said that if you want to make money, you have to spend money first.

What's the most expensive thing to spend money on? That is to fight.

Only by winning the battle and capturing Beiliang and Beiyan can we really make internal and external transportation and goods accessible, and at that time the north was pacified, only businessmen dared to do business with peace of mind, otherwise who would dare to set foot in wars everywhere?

Thinking of the war, for a while, Tuoba Tao, Helian Ding, and Gu Bi all turned their heads to look at He Mulan, and saw that He Mullan was at a loss.

And Di Yefei, who was standing beside Hemulan, seemed to be stunned by what he saw and heard in the hall today, and he never detached himself from his deep thoughts.

Everyone looked at He Mulan because He Mulan had never been defeated since the battle!

It seems easy to say, but the three of them are all veterans who have really fought for many years, and they are all people who are both civil and military, so they naturally know what is contained in the words "never defeated".

Some unborn famous generals are indeed smart, but even the most brilliant generals have had several small or big failures, which has nothing to do with personal ability, but purely related to time, place, and people.

And He Mulan seems to be the darling of God who deliberately descended from heaven, every time he fights, the time, place, people and all occupy it, and even the luck is so good that people are jealous!

Sometimes fighting a war depends not only on morale, materials, and ability, but also on the mysterious and mysterious "luck". There is such a general who is now in full swing of "luck" and is young in the Wei State, how many miracles can he create?

He's only in his early twenties, and how many battles he can fight in his life! Even if a general's heyday of combat is at the age of forty, he still has nearly twenty years to fight in the east and west!

At the thought of this, Gu Bi and Tuoba Tao even had the urge to tremble with excitement!

Da Wei is lucky!

Helian on the side was depressed that his Chinese years were about to pass, and he was now more than thirty years old, and among the generals, he was already a "veteran".

He was so old that Tuoba Tao might not send him to the battlefield lightly, and the symbolism was greater than the role of conquest.

At this time, Hemulan, like Gu Bi, was also on the issue of conquering Northern Yan and Northern Liang. The dialogue between Yuan Fang and Tuoba Tao was like a beautiful "national policy question", which benefited both He Mulan and Di Yefei.

However, what amazed He Mulan even more was Cui Hao's terrifying political vision.

Before she entered here, Cui Hao had already faintly pointed out the current situation of Great Wei that there was no way to stop the war, so once a war broke out, the country could not be chaotic, and this was not the best time to launch a change.

His prediction and judgment of the salt production of Beiyan were so accurate, he was not even like Yuan Fang, who traveled south and north, and could analyze these from the business opportunities in various places, just relying on his rich experience and knowledge of the forces in various places to deduce this result.

Why can't such a "national scholar" be used by Tuoba Tao with all his heart, and have to be involved in the "dispute between Buddhism and Taoism", "the dispute between the scholar clan and the imperial power", and even the dispute between the "Xianbei people and the Han people"?

Or is it true that according to what he said, his background and status have already become an "obstacle" for him, so that he can't put aside Yiqiē and plan for Tuoba Tao wholeheartedly, but can only be loyal to the "overall situation"?

If this is the case, it is really the biggest loss for Tuobatao.

In all dynasties, how many can be called "unparalleled national warriors"? Tuoba Tao was fortunate to get one, but he could only get most of him.

Tuoba Tao and Gu Bi looked at He Mulan together, and the young emperor immediately laughed arrogantly: "With this famous minister and good general, the whole body is united, why should I worry about the injustice of the world and the uncertainty of the country?" First of all, there is a natural warrior like Hua Mulan to assist, and there is a longitude and latitude like you Yuan Fang, who can be called a 'famous man', even if I am sitting on thin ice as an emperor, isn't this the best reward from God for me? ”

Gu Bi sighed: "Your Majesty is generous. ”

Helian Ding was also conquered by this big-bellied, abu, generous emperor, and nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty is really a big husband!" ”

Even Yuan Fang, who originally felt that he was going to die, was hopeful because of Tuobatao's appreciative attitude. Although he has only been the head of the Yuan family for a few days, since he is the head of the family, he naturally has to take responsibility for the whole family, once he can really be appreciated, the Yuan family can also get out of danger, at least not to end up miserable!

Tuoba Tao seemed to sigh, repeating the names of "Mulan" and "Yuan Fang" again and again. Due to the continuous state of excitement, Tuoba Tao looked a little tired, but the tiredness did not enter the bottom of his eyes, he looked at Yuan Fang and sighed:

"Although it is strange to ask, I really want to ask, are there many people like you among the sect masters in various places?"

It's just the second son of a Wu Bi!

Yuan Fang smiled: "I don't know what talent I have. I'm just a businessman who runs a family business and works hard to make a living under His Majesty's rule. ”

Tuoba Tao laughed when he heard this. This sentence is equivalent to a disguised answer: There are indeed many people like him, and all of them live under him, but they are just not out of office.

Yuan was relieved that he had hope of life, and he began to regain his former sleekness, and there was no trace of his sycophants.

Yuan Zhe's vision of the sect master is right, compared to his brother who has a pure personality, a hard temper, but a cowardly heart, Yuan Fang does have the "strength" to become the sect master who protects the people in all aspects.

Once he abandoned his "prejudices", Yuan Fang began to do his best to plan for himself.

"The way of doing business is complicated to say, but if there is a country to support it, a simple three-year-old child can do it well. But the policy I provided cannot be completed in a few years, because now the salt pond in Hedong is only enough to provide domestic needs, and Beiliang and Beiyan are vassal states belonging to our country, and the division is unknown. Before that, the south must not be chaotic, let alone have a war with the Song State, otherwise it will be attacked by the enemy and will not be able to win with minimal losses. ”

Gu Bi smiled and said, "It's easy. What happened to the Yuan family, and even the detailed work sent by the Song State before, was enough to serve as a reason to deter the Song State. My Great Wei has long stood on the position of justice, no matter what the Song State wants to do, our country has a reason to go on the expedition at any time, so the Song State does not dare to act rashly, on the contrary, after getting the news, the Song State should immediately send envoys to repair the damaged friendship between the two countries and re-sign an alliance that is more beneficial to our country. ”

Tuoba Tao is also a genius in diplomacy, and immediately said with a smile: "This is really a morally easy to tenable thing, after all, we have human and material evidence." Although we don't know if Liu Yilong is really a benevolent and righteous king, as long as he consistently shows people like this, that's enough, isn't it? ”

Yuan Fang smiled, happy that he might be working for the most outstanding talents in the world in the future.

It was only at this time that Tuoba Tao and the others seemed to remember that there were still many ministers waiting outside the palace, and even Tuoba Tao remembered that He Mulan and Di Yefei must have come to ask for some reason, so they asked out loud.

He Mulan smiled and shook his head: "This matter just seemed to us before we entered the palace, it was a big deal, but since Yuan Fang and His Majesty Xi à spoke, it has become a trivial matter." ”

She pushed Di Yefei, and the two complemented each other to repeat Cui Hao's words, focusing on the conclusion that "the matter of changing the law should not be rushed".

After Gu Bi heard this, his face showed an expression of "He is really a genius, but it's a pity that we always love and kill each other", and praised it again and again regretfully.

Instead, Tuoba Tao touched his face and said triumphantly: "Of course I know that you can't be in a hurry to change the law, but if I don't say this, how can they be in a hurry?" I said that if I change the law today, they will postpone the idea until tomorrow, but in my heart I only estimated the day after tomorrow. If it weren't for Yuan Fang's strategy of enriching the country to give me new ideas, then as long as I can change the law, I will be satisfied, and it will be much better than I estimated later! ”

Hahaha!

He Mullan laughed in his heart.

She guessed right, with the character of this majesty, she really did it, "Ahhhhhhh You say a little later, then okay I'll be later".

Because his purpose has always been to force others to say "you can do it", not "do it right away"!

This is really a cunning politician!

Gu Bi seems to have a deep understanding of Tuoba Tao's whimsical political methods, because this majesty used "I want to drive the royal expedition" and I don't know how many times he has deceived this powerful minister.

But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know which sentence of this majesty was a joke and which sentence was serious, because this majesty could really do something like going out of Beijing with dozens of people to "inspect"! When the Xia Kingdom was attacked at the beginning, everyone was frightened, okay?

'What king can wear a woman's skirt and slip down from a wall in full view after a victory?' ’

Gu Bi roared wildly in his heart.

And they have! Tuoba Xianbei is a freak! ’

Tuoba Tao was in a happy mood, and Helianding's fief was in Western Qin, and when he learned that Western Qin would become a "false road" for conquering Northern Liang and a "key road" for future business, his mood was also relaxed and relieved.

Anyone who knows that their fiefdom is about to start to get rich will feel like this.

In this way, it can be said that everyone is happy, even Di Yefei, who has never shown a smile, is smiling, because he finally doesn't have to worry about how to explain to Cui Hao and Mulan.

The problem has been solved, because the problem has become a shelved problem.

***

When Tuoba Tao was still unsatisfied and asked Su Hejun to send Yuan Fang back, but took care of it, Gu Bi and the others knew that they could finally start the court meeting.

Many officials outside had been waiting for more than an hour, and all kinds of discussions and rumors were spreading, and many people related Tuoba Tao's abnormality to Mullan's entry into the temple.

This is too much to look down on Hermulan, but the guess is actually correct, if He Mulan hadn't captured Yuan and released him back, maybe this guy would have died under the hooves of the army that conquered the Yuan family, or he would have played the game of "collecting orchids" in the southland as he did seven or eight years later.

How could she be so stupid then! How rich should a businessman who can afford so many orchids, who can casually buy all the goods of "Mrs. Dickie"?

How could this Yuan Fang be a lascivious dead fat man who only knows how to collect money!

He Mulan watched Yuan Fang leave with pity, and couldn't understand why Yuan Fang was middle-aged and blessed to such a point, obviously he was still a handsome young man.

Could it be that he is the kind of physique that will gain weight when he drinks water, and when he was young, he traveled south and north to consume a lot, and later the biggest exercise was "bed/exercise"?

He Mulan inexplicably felt that he knew the truth.

Although this big court meeting was held a little later for unspeakable reasons, it was still finished smoothly, but when the court meeting ended, it had already passed noon, so that when it was held later, everyone was beating like a drum, one after another, which was very spectacular.

At this court meeting, although some people proposed to cancel the "suzerain's supervision and protection system" with a new system, it was still rejected by Tuoba Tao, which means that you should not be in a hurry and wait for the winter to talk about it.

As for the "three-long system", Yunyun never mentioned it, and naturally it did not cause a backlash from the sect masters or officials from Wubi.

Cui Hao stood in the Wenchen column, arching his hand to He Mulan from afar, his face full of grateful smiles. Although He Mulan was ashamed, he felt that there was a mistake in it, and there was a big reason for it, so it was not acceptable to accept this thanks, so he accepted this gift with a smile.

Cui Hao's every move was watched by countless people, he showed favor to He Mulan, naturally many people paid attention, coupled with the many changes in this day, many people reestimated He Mulan, and even looked at Di Yefei behind her with great interest.

Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there were almost no young people like He Mulan who were born under the command of clan generals and stood behind the Xianbei clan, who first offended Han Chen, and then got favors that seemed to have a good intention.

If they didn't all know that He Mulan's personality is indeed square, and he is all protected by Tuoba Tao, I am afraid that he will think that he is a powerful character with a just appearance and a delicate appearance.

Fortunately, although Li Shun and Cui Hao are in-laws, the two have always had disagreements, and their political views are not the same, and their contacts are not warm, otherwise with the relationship between the two, today's words will sooner or later reach the ears of Cui Hao's side, letting them know that they have been teased by Tuoba Tao again.

Of course, Tuoba Tao dared to summon Di Yefei, He Mulan, Li Shun and others to listen to the government, because he was sure that they would not or did not dare to spread what they heard today.

If there is some rumor outside, He Mulan will not doubt it, and the unlucky ones are only Li Shun and Di Yefei.

The court meeting lasted until the afternoon, when everyone left the palace, Cui Hao even invited He Mulan to Cui's mansion as a guest for the first time, but He Mulan excused himself with "his parents are slightly ill", so he had to leave with Di Yefei.

As for how Di Ye Fei would deal with it after he returned, He Mulan could only say......

I believe in you, you can do it!

He Mulan left the palace in a calm mood, rode his horse, and led Chen Jie, who was guarding outside the palace, to rush back, and hurried back to eat.

But when he arrived at the door of Changping Fang, seeing the black crowd again, He Mulan's expression couldn't hold back, and he immediately exclaimed:

"Oh my God! How are there more people than yesterday! Didn't I send someone to reply to my grandfather and grandmother who were tired and sick! ”

Chen Jie's face was also ugly.

A BMW like Yue Ying can "fly over", but his horse doesn't have the ability.

He Mulan rode his horse and stood at the entrance of Changping Fang, seeing that there seemed to be more and more cars and horses behind him, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and shake the reins again, heading towards the road where he came!

"General! General, where are you going! ”

Chen Jie shouted behind He Mulan.

"Enter the palace!"

"What for?"

'What?' ’

He Mullan rode away first.

Naturally, it is to learn from a few people who hugged their thighs and cried about Sapo......

"Find your majesty xià help!".
