"Go wash your face first, and then talk when you come back."

Liu Ping glanced at the guy in front of him who was not human, and felt very satisfied.

These Danyang generals are the poorest children, although they are extremely fierce and unruly on the battlefield, but if they are given food, they can give you their lives.

And this guy in front of him is obviously eating.

"No!"

Tao Qing lowered his head, not daring to look at the king who controlled their destiny with his eyes, he walked backwards and walked out, but his heart hung in the air.

I don't know what the king is doing when he asks him to come back, whether he wants him to be transferred back.

If that's the case, how can I petition the king?

After just a few breaths, Tao Qing ran back like a gust of wind, and he finally washed off the dark layer on his face, revealing the black and red skin underneath, which had long been cracked.

At the edge of the desert, the daily wind and sand are extremely large, and anyone who stays there for a long time will become this complexion.

"You ...... Great work! Liu Ping stepped forward and patted Tao Qing on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Tao Qing was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and became like a clay sculpture.

Laborious? It's not hard for me.

Wait, the king said that he was working hard, was it to transfer himself back?

"The King...... Weekend...... The last general ......"

Tao Qing thought of more than a dozen ways to answer each other along the way, if the king wanted to transfer him back, what kind of petition should he use, but when Liu Ping really said it in front of him, he found that none of them were suitable.

"The last general is grateful to the king, and the family has moved to Dingbian, and the last general is willing to cook salt for the king for a lifetime, and begs the king not to transfer the last general back...... The last general kowtowed to the king...... Kowtowed......"

Tao Qing chose the easiest way, and couldn't help but say, he knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Ping, tears flowed down urgently.

Although the man has gold under his knees, for the sake of his future and that of so many people, what is it to kowtow to the king?

Liu Ping: "......"

I asked hard work, why did this guy react so violently, shouldn't you say that you serve the king?

"Wait, you make it clear, who's going to transfer you back?" The second monk Liu Pingzhang was puzzled.

"Could it be...... The king recalled the last general to Chang'an, not for the exchange? Tao Qing knelt on the ground, staring at Liu Ping with wide eyes, his face full of doubt.

Liu Ping is angry and funny, this product is probably because his brain supplement is going to be transferred back, so his ideas are already preconceived, and now he will think about this aspect of whatever he says.

"Get up, get up," Liu Ping waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't want to think about it, it was this king who asked you to bring your family over, and then transferred all of you away, isn't that the king of this going back on his word?"

Put your heart in your stomach, since you are already familiar with the art of boiling salt, you will never want to leave there for the rest of your life.

Inherit the skills, and when you are old, let your son continue to cook salt for the king's son. ”

"Thank you for your grace, thank you, your king!"

Tao Qing was excited to kowtow again, and with Liu Ping's promise, the heart that had been hanging for several days was finally relaxed.

According to the king's intention, let them be there for generations, which means that their children will be fed and clothed, grow up in peace, marry and have children.

For them, this is a great blessing.

"My lord, I don't know what happened when the summoning general returned? As long as the last general can do it, he will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot," Tao Qing patted his chest and said impassionedly.

"You have to die or live at every turn, and this is not for you to go to the battlefield," Liu Ping cried and laughed: "It's just that this king is in urgent need of a large amount of salt recently, and I want to see what you can do to increase production as soon as possible." ”

"That's it?"

Tao Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that what had always bothered him was such a simple thing.

"King, what's so difficult about this, the place chosen by the king, as long as the well is dug to produce brine, if you want to increase production, you only need to add more manpower."

"This king naturally knows how to add more manpower, but now that the people of Guanzhong are either killed, or flee, or flee far away from the mountains and forests, it is not easy to recruit manpower."

"It's good to leave this matter to the end of the world," Tao Qing said: "There are many women in the salt boiling land now, and they usually only do some washing and scrubbing work, so you can let them make up for it for the time being, and you can work day and night." ”

"Woman? Can they work too? Liu Ping frowned.

"I'm afraid the king doesn't know that our Danyang women are more ruthless than men in battle, and stronger than men in work." Tao Qing said with a smile: "In addition, now that the last general is still well-known in Danyang, the last general can send people back to recruit homeless young people, and the manpower problem will be solved soon." ”

Danyang is mountainous, and the biggest characteristic of the people is "poor", and Tao Qing, the generals who joined the army, are the poorest group.

After all, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't live, no one would want to put his head on his belt and give his life to the princes.

Now the soldiers around Tao Qing have gone back to pick up his family in batches, and after publicity, he has become a celebrity in the mouth of the villagers in Danyang County, and they all know that he has made a fortune outside, otherwise he would not even take his subordinates to take his family over to enjoy the blessings, and the surrounding villagers are naturally envious.

Tao Qing believed that if he sent people back to his hometown to recruit the displaced people, the villagers would definitely flock to him.

"Great," Liu Ping stood up excitedly and took two steps back and forth: "In this case, you can go back quickly after a night's rest, this king needs a lot of salt to use." ”

"King, we are no longer short of food now, what do you need salt for?" Tao Qing couldn't help but express his doubts.

According to his calculations, there are at least 40,000 or 50,000 stone of grain stored in Chang'an now, and all their soldiers will not be able to eat it for half a year.

Since there is no shortage of food, there is no need to be so urgent about salt.

But looking at Liu Ping's appearance, he seemed to be in a hurry.

"Cook salt with peace of mind, don't ask if you shouldn't ask," Liu Ping said indifferently.

"Nonono! The last general knew that he was wrong," Tao Qing couldn't help but shudder.

He raised his head slightly, and secretly looked at Liu Ping as if he was not angry because of this, and then he was relieved.

Seeing that Liu Ping had no other arrangements, Tao Qing retreated, his heart was beautiful, it is conceivable that with more and more people from his fellow villagers, he will become a great savior in the eyes of the villagers, what a glorious thing.

And as the salt production increased, so did his five percent of the reserves, which he allotted to him, and he became the king of the little kingdom where the salt was boiled, all thanks to the great king.

This strengthened his determination to throw off his arms and boil salt wholeheartedly to repay the king's kindness.

However, there was one thing that worried him.

He was born in the army, and he has a set of leading soldiers, but when all kinds of people arrive at Dingbian, he uses the set of leading soldiers to lead everyone to work, I don't know if it is effective.
