"Brother Daoxing, you and I are really humiliating ourselves when we go to Chang'an!"

"Yes! I wanted to be able to be born with a similar ability, but I didn't expect to be useless! ”

"The two officials, please come in, please wait for a while, and the small one will buy wine and food for the two guest officials." This is the voice of the little two just now.

"Bang!" Yang Er could hear that this was the sound of one of them punching the table, quite loudly. "Since you don't need our talents, why treat each other politely in the first place, it's very hypocritical!" The boxer shouted angrily.

"That Zhaoxian Pavilion is really a place for non-gentlemen, a group of villains eat and drink in it, and have nothing to do all day long. How can you and I dance with it? This time, if you give up, you will give up, and you can visit the Lord again. Thinking about it, Brother Xing is both civil and military, and he is afraid that he will not get there. ”

"Brother Shiju is also a scholar with thousands of books, erudite and learned, full of wealth, and even a master, and he has also ended up in the same situation as my martial arts. This world is really unfair! ”

"Hehehe! It's okay for me, it's real gold that always shines. Come on, come on, drink this cup first. Xiao Er had already served a few side dishes at this time, and the two of them drank the side dishes slowly.

"Also, the longer your literati have their rings, the more splendid strategies you have in your belly, and it can be said that the older you are, the more popular you are. Unlike military generals such as me, if you are old and weak, your blood and qi will be empty, and you can't go into battle! Hahaha! ”

"Alas, let's not talk about these for now, let's try this authentic Yellow River carp first, this is a rare delicacy!"

Because it is next door, the wooden house is not soundproof, and some words are heard clearly by Yang Er and the three people. It was originally a literary and a martial arts, but when they went to Chang'an to seek a future, they were frustrated, and they met here to drink. "Recruiting Pavilion?" The only person who can set up a recruitment hall in Chang'an can be the eldest brother Yang Yong, and no one else. Listening to the two of them, I feel that they are people with some ability, but they are not used by the eldest brother, but I don't know who it is. "Shiju?" It sounds familiar. There is a capable minister named Pei Ju in the Great Sui Dynasty, Pei Shiju? Yang Er's eyes lit up, it must be this Pei Shiju. How did he get here, so coincidentally? Who is the military general who is traveling with you? Don't you remember that there was a military general in the Sui Dynasty called Daoxing? Yang Er silently repeated the ranking of the 18 heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in his heart, no? I silently searched for many famous and not-so-famous heroes in Jiajialou's great knot, and I couldn't find the name of this "Daoxing".

"Sister Chuchen, you know my thoughts, but there is a way to help me take in the two people next door. I know one of them to be a great talent today, and I can't bear to abandon it. Yang Er whispered to Chuchen as if flattering. The soundproofing was almost none, and I had to speak in a whisper.

"Even if it is a great talent, His Highness can learn to convince him, there is no other way." Izumi also whispered back.

"Cut ---," Yang Er waved his hand when he heard it. "Where do I have talent? I'm just a gentleman, looking for flowers and asking willows. This poetry and song is not good at asking for the right thing. I hope my sister will help me, as long as I talk to the two of them. ”

"Little sister, my specialty is only in Taoism, and I may be able to summon thunderstorms and lightning when I do some magic, and pinching my fingers can also be regarded as the fate and future of people. That's all! How can I help you? Out of the dust pouted, said helplessly.

"Little fat man, don't worry about eating, like you've never seen meat in your life, help my brother think of a way." Yang Er's eyes looked at Zhong Jian, who was constantly stuffing meat into his mouth.

"Oh, I can go over and try my sword skills with them." Zhong Jian hesitated slightly, and came up with the idea of meeting friends with martial arts.

"Get out! If you don't know anyone else and compete with others, your brain is rusty. Yang Er was completely disappointed in Zhong Jian, a foodie. These two are masters in the professional field, and the unprofessional places are not as good as me, and I have to figure it out myself.

"Come on, Brother Daoxing, I'm happy today, the world is also peaceful, why don't I chant a poem for you, brother, to help the wine, how about it?"

"You go to the sour text, and I'll drink."

Voices came from next door again. Yang Er's eyes lit up, "That's right! At this time, the literati love to chant poetry after drinking, and Izumi is right, I spell the text with him! Can't do it or copy it? Whose copy is it? Yang Er hurriedly searched for suitable poems among the most familiar Tang and Song poets. Fortunately, it was not long after the college entrance examination ended, and most of these Tang and Song poems still remembered. The other party is a literati and a military general. "Yes, this poem after Fan Zhongyan's drunkenness is the most appropriate for this time." Thinking of this, Yang Er immediately got up, faced the window and began to drag the text:

"The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang don't pay attention.

The sound of the corners on all sides rises, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city.

A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, and Yan Ran has no plan.

Qiang Guan is full of frost, people are sleepless, and the general's white hair is crying. ”

"Good". This is the voice of a military general.

"Wonderful". This is the cry of the literati.

"I don't know which great sage is next door, can you come and see it. Pei Ju is here! ”

"Who was I at the time, it turned out to be Mr. Pei Shiju!" Yang Er said to the partition wall. At this time, Erzhang was completely stupid. Chuchen can no longer see through the boy in front of him. I just said that I won't do it now, but it's a chapter. The flesh that Zhong Jian bit into his mouth fell to the ground.

With a snap, the door of Yang Er's private room was pushed open. The two people who appeared in front of Yang Er rushed in one after the other. I saw the literati look: his face was like a jade, and his eyes were clear and bright. He has a short beard under his chin and is eight feet tall. A light blue shirt with green cloth shoes. Simple and elegant. The warrior: He is more than eight feet tall, looks dignified, wears a gray coat and a felt scarf on his head, and is born with grace. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows were like paint. The chest is broad, and there is the majesty of ten thousand invincibles.

"Pei Shiju has seen Gongzi, this is my best friend's surname Li Mingjing, and the word is prosperous. I just heard the words of the son, reflecting the state of mind of the two of us who have no way to serve the country. And this word is a masterpiece that I have only seen in my life, and I am especially happy. May I also ask the son's surname? Pei Shiju and Li Daoxing asked.

"Mr. Pei, I just accidentally heard the words of the two of you, since you have joined the Chang'an Recruitment Hall and entered the current prince's command, how can you not know the name of Yang Guang." Yang Er whispered to the two.

Pei Li and the others were shocked when they heard this, and immediately knelt down in panic and said: "The grass people are rude, disturbing His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and it is difficult to escape the blame for all deaths." ”

Yang Er took a step forward to help the two of them up, and said: "Both of them have great talents, one is literate and one martial, they should contribute to our court, that prince Yang Yong is weak and weak, he doesn't know talents, he doesn't need good generals, he is not the master, you two have their own abilities, how can you secretly invest in the pearl and bury your talents." If I don't give up, I still have idle jobs in the Jin Palace, waiting for the two of you to help me achieve great things, I don't know what to do? ”

Pei Li and the others glanced at each other, nodded and said: "If Your Highness is not idle, the two of us are stupid, and I am willing to saddle up before and after the horse, and do our best." Lord, please bow down to me and both. After saying that, he bowed down again.

"Good, good! I didn't expect that in this small heavenly county, I could get a capable minister and a general to command the army, which was worth the trip! Yang Er immediately turned to Zhong Jian and said, "Go and call the store, remove the residual table and re-place the wine." This king wants to have a drink with Mr. Pei and General Li. ”

Zhong Jian went out, and Chuchen also went out. This is not the case for a woman.

The banquet reopened, Yang Er picked up a glass of wine and said to the two: "The two of you have just run away from the prince's mansion, and now they are taking refuge in this king, and we are one family." I want to seize the throne of the crown prince, he will be on the ninety-five, I hope the second prince will help me, this wine king will do it first, please! ”

"Please rest assured that the King of Jin has recognized the Lord, and will sacrifice his life to help the Lord rule the world as soon as possible. But there is a drive to do so, King Jin please! The three of them drank three cups in a row to confirm the master-slave relationship.

"In this case, the elder Pei Gong should be my elder, and all the affairs in this palace should be handed over to Pei Gong, and he will be engaged in the position of part-time military advisor in the palace; General Daoxing is also the elder of the king, and he can recruit and train soldiers and horses for the king, and temporarily take the position of captain of the palace Pingnan. ”

Pei Li and the others got up and saluted, and said: "Thank you for the prince's help, we will definitely abide by our duties, share the worries for the prince, and die without regrets!" ”

"Your parents and wives at home, I will arrange for someone to take them directly to the palace of the Jin King in Chang'an for placement, so you don't have to worry." Yang Er picked up the wine glass again and drank with the two.

After three rounds of drinking, all three were drunk. Zhong Jian went out of the city to find Laihu'er, and Laihu'er led his family to take the three of them back to the Chinese military tent to rest.

Yang Er's wine woke up and it was already the time of the next day.

Pei Shiju, Li Jing, Lai Hu'er and other civil and military officers have been waiting in the tent for a long time. After Yang Er finished washing, he walked out of the inner account to the front of the case, "This king was in a happy mood yesterday, and he was greedy for a few more cups, so that he got up tonight, don't blame the princes!" ”

"Your Highness, I heard the general say that the lord was originally going to Tongguan, why did he suddenly change his route and come to this Luzhou Heavenly County? I hope that the lord will speak clearly, so that the ministers may speak for the lord. Pei Shiju spoke first.

"Pei Gong, I don't know, I'm here to make salt."

"Oh? Your Royal Highness, the salt industry of our dynasty is controlled by Nan Chen, and most of the refined salt on the market is bought by Nan Chen Shouhe's official smugglers, and they are all controlled by the officials, and they also meet the needs of officials with more than 4 grades. Low-level officials and ordinary people mostly used salt and stone instead, barely surviving. If you want to get refined salt, you should go to Jingxiang or Shandong to buy salt from Chen Guo's salt merchants. Luzhou is not near the sea, how can there be salt? Isn't it the opposite of the other! After Pei Shiju finished speaking, he shook his head again and again, lamenting that he had not been able to join the King of Jin earlier, so that the prince made a small mistake. The rest of the people, including Izuchen, who was standing on the side of Yang, also nodded in agreement with Pei Shiju's statement.

"Huh! Pei tolerance. Although there is no sea in Luzhou, there is no sea salt. However, there are at least two ways to make salt in Luzhou, and the quality of salt is far superior to that of Chen Guozhi's sea salt. Yang Er paused and looked around at the people in the tent. Seeing that everyone didn't believe his words, he went on to explain: "First, Luzhou salt stone comes from the north of the mountains, in fact, the place where salt stone is produced is salt mine, and the mined salt stone is actually halide, with very little salt content, and a large number of salt mines can be mined. After hearing this, everyone in the tent talked about it, and they had never heard of this salt making method, so they obviously didn't believe what Yang Er said.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't worry, wait for this king to finish speaking, and then it's not too late to discuss." Yang Er swung his hands down and made a quiet gesture. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Yang Er to listen to his second plan.

"To refine salt, the process is more cumbersome, and the use of labor is larger, so it should not be used first. I will say that this second salt making method is called the "salt drying method", which is the current sea salt production method of Nan Chen. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Li Jingchao stepped forward and said: "The main tolerance, Luzhou is far away from the sea, if you need to make sea salt, you can go to Dengzhou, Shandong, it is useless here!" ”

"Yes! My lord, what General Daoxing said is very true. According to the old minister's intentions, it is better to use the method of halite refining. This law has at least three major advantages: first, it can notify the Luzhou government and mobilize the people to save time by using local materials; Second, salt farms can be set up to recruit displaced people as salt workers, which can stabilize the people's society; Third, Luzhou is located between Chang'an and Luoyang, if the salt production is successful, it can be sold to the nearest two places to reduce road loss. With many of the above benefits, why go to Dengzhou, Shandong, and Dengzhou is far away from Guanzhong, there are many bandits and hungry people in Shandong, and the salt road is not passable. Please think twice. ”

"Huh! What Pei Gong said is very true, this king has never had the idea of going to Shandong. Nor is it intended to make salt by refining it. Yang Er said with a smile. I saw that everyone didn't know what it meant. Yang Er paced in front of Li Jing, smiled and said to Li Jing: "General Daoxing's statement is not wrong, Dengzhou can indeed run a salt factory to make salt, but as Pei Gong said, the road is far away, there are many bandits, even if there is salt, you can't get by." It is for the far water to solve the near fire. Yang Er turned to face everyone and continued: "Don't you know that there is a sea in Luzhou? As soon as this statement came out, the whole house was shocked!
