Chapter 409: Capture the city

Most of the salt eaten by the people now is coarse salt, which has a very heavy bitter taste, and the salt in the sea fish can be said to be refined salt, which is even worse than the best green salt in the Sui Dynasty, at least there is no bitter taste.

Beans can be planted alone or intercropped, planted on the edge of the land, in the wasteland, even if it is overgrown with weeds, it will reduce its yield at most, unlike other grains, where there are too many weeds to grow.

Especially because of the increase in livestock, every household has planted a lot, and the hard-working people will always take time out to find weeds for cattle and horses as feed, and the beans are only mixed in the dry grass in winter to feed, so that in fact, there are a lot of beans, which are just purchased by the government to make dried fish and bean paste.

The guard took the can and pulled out the cork on the jar, and immediately he smelled a fragrance.

The guard's throat twitched, and some of them couldn't wait to reach out their fingers, pull out a piece, and put it in their mouths.

The fragrance of the beans neutralizes the fishy smell of the fish, which is full of salt and meat! For the guards who haven't eaten this bolognese, it's supremely delicious.

The guard's eyes lit up and he chewed quickly, his hand reaching into the jar again before he could swallow it in his mouth.

Xi Jun was not in a hurry to buy it, and watched the guards taste it with a smile.

The arrival of Xi Junmai and others has already attracted everyone's attention, especially those guards, there were originally many people who were just watching from afar, and when they saw Xi Junmai buying things, they couldn't help but surround them.

The first guard, seeing that his companions were all around, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and when Xi Junmai returned to the carriage again, he stuffed the can into his arms and walked over again.

"Ahem! It tastes good! What is the price of your canned food? The guard asked, pretending to be satisfied.

"This dried fish and bean paste, when you can't eat or cook, put some, it's also very delicious, and it can completely replace salt! Even better! Hence the price! It's not cheap. Xi Junmai picked up a can, tossed it in his hand a few times, and introduced.

"Hmmm! Indeed it is, full of saltiness! The guard nodded in agreement.

"Such a jar weighs three catties, and its value is the same as green salt! One can is worth 500 wen! Xi Junmai said casually.

Of course he is talking nonsense, after all, this dried fish and bean sauce, no matter what, can not be compared with green salt, although the taste is better, but the usage rate is completely different. His canned soybean sauce was originally just a military item, and it was just used for show.

This kind of good thing is used in the army, and it is impossible to sell it when the wages are low for the people.

"Five hundred wen!" The guard exclaimed, and then touched the can in his arms, you must know that five hundred wen, he will earn it for at least half a year, and this is because he is the team guarding the city gate, and the others don't have so much oil and water.

"Of course! Don't you think it tastes good? Xi Junmai asked with a raised eyebrow.

Regarding Xi Junmai's attitude, the guards didn't feel inappropriate, after all, the Central Plains itself was in their hearts, it was the kingdom of Shang, not to mention that they belonged to the defeated country.

"No, no! It's delicious! The guard shook his head and said, for the Jiang side, there are many people who know that it is now called Datang! The two sides look across the river, and it seems that there are rich people on that side and poor people on this side! In the face of the rich, even if he was just a businessman, the Goguryeo guards could not be tough. This is the benefit of a strong country.

"Take it! I'll give you another can! Xi Junmai smiled and picked up another can, threw it twice in his hand, and threw it to the guard.

The guard hurriedly caught it, and when he saw that he didn't fall to the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put it into his arms, and then thanked Xi Junmai again and again: "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! ”

"You're welcome! That's nothing to us! Xi Junmai said with a smile, but his eyes looked at the guards, and he kept staring at other people's necks.

The guards guarded the benefits of Xi Junmai and the others, and wanted to let him go, but Xi Junmai was not in a hurry, and pulled him to ask, and the guards were not a little impatient, and answered for him one by one, and he also wanted to see if Xi Junmai would generously give him another can, and the five hundred wen kept reminding him in his head like a magic spell.

Usually scrape up to one or two pennies of things, such an expensive item, usually not blessed to enjoy.

"Huh! Why is there another team of people? Is it all from you? The guard looked behind Xi Junmai and asked unexpectedly.

"It's not! Maybe it's businessmen from other places, knowing that we're at peace, and come and do business. Xi Junmai glanced at it, opened his eyes and said nonsense, and said nonsense casually.

"Oh! Oh! The guard didn't know what to think, and looked at the approaching team with a smirk, and said to Xi Jun in a perfunctory manner.

Xi Junmai didn't know the same as the dead, so he gave his subordinates a look, and then everyone approached the carriage!

"Come into the city!" Seeing that Xi Junmai didn't mean to give him anything more, the guard waved his hand impatiently.

"Good!" The corners of Xi Junmai's mouth raised, and he agreed, and then greeted: "Brothers! Go to the city and get rich! ”

"Get rich!" Xi Jun's pun made his subordinates suddenly excited, and they followed the carriage to the city.

The guards thought that Xi Junmai was talking about business, after all, it was normal to make a fortune with such expensive things, so he couldn't help but look at them a few times with envy, and then looked at the team that came again.

Xi Junmai entered the city to take a look! All the guards ran out to watch, so that there was not even a single guard at the head of the city.

"It's a man dying for money! Birds die for food! Xi Junmai shook his head slightly and sighed, he felt really unbelievable that he had five hundred men to enter the city so easily.

"General!" The guards shouted in surprise to Xi Jun to buy.

"Up!" Xi Junmai waved his hand and ordered in a low voice.

The carriage was in the city, and there were no guards to see it, so the guards immediately led people to quickly remove the cloth on it, picked up the muskets neatly placed below, and rushed to the top of the city.

Xi Junmai and the others were not idle, they also picked up weapons, five hundred people had three hundred musketeers, two hundred sword soldiers, before picking up weapons, Xi Junmai had already commanded people to place the carriages in a row, as a barricade, blocking the road.

The people of Goguryeo who were blocked in and out of the city next to them, when Xi Jun bought them and pulled out their knives, they realized that something was wrong, the musket at the beginning was just an iron rod, I didn't know what to do, and I thought it was one of the commodities.

"Ahh

"The Tang Dynasty is here!" The people of Goguryeo suddenly jumped and ran into the distance screaming.

Xi Junmai didn't chase after him, pulled out the double sticks that Zou Yu gave him, turned around and killed the stunned guards at the city gate with a cruel smile.
