Zhai Rang was always uneasy in his heart, so he sent someone to find Jia Xiong and talk secretly late at night, while trying to test Li Mi's power and thoughts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jia Xiong began to avoid the main thing, talking about some side matters, not wanting to stir up trouble in the middle.

In the end, Zhai Rang sighed: "Jia Xiong, you and I have known each other for more than ten years, and we are both from our hometown, at first we plotted together to revolt, fight against the imperial court, and occupy Wagang Mountain, and at that time there were also your suggestions, now, Li Mi is powerful, and his ability is very strong, far beyond my generation, what he wants is to dominate the industry, this, you and I are clear, many people understand that many people are just for Li Micai to join the Wagang Army, to become the founding of the country, but to overthrow the imperial court, suppress the heroes, how easy is it to say?" At least, I don't have that ambition, if Li Mi really has this ability, I don't mind abdicating and making way for Xian, and let him lead all the heroes to fight for the world. ”

Jia Xiong saw that Zhai Rang said this part, and put his heart into him, and he couldn't help but be a little moved, he also knew that Zhai Rang was a little benevolent, and he attached great importance to him for asking for advice like this, as a former old friend, Jia Xiong said sincerely: "Brother Zhai, I still call you the big boss, about this aspect, I didn't want to be involved, but you trust Jia Xiong so much, then I have a few words, just say it." ”

Zhai Rang stroked his short beard, frowned and said, "Brother Jia, but it's okay to say it." ”

"Don't dare to be!" Jia Xiong bowed his hand and said: "The big boss, Li Mi does have amazing talents, today, there are many heroes, but Li Mi's talent is definitely the strongest group of people, but Wagangzhai has not been able to integrate into this dragon, so if the big boss can see the situation clearly, the beauty of the adults earlier, give power to him, appear high-spirited, broad-minded." In this way, Li Mi is called the king, and even the emperor, which conforms to the interests of most people, and when the time comes, you will be the big boss, you must also be a prince, one person under ten thousand people, how noble, I am afraid that it is much stronger than the current position of occupying the mountain as the king. ”

"You must know that the chaos in the world will not continue like this, the Sui Dynasty will die, and a new dynasty will replace it, whether it is Wagang Mountain, Dou Jiande's Hebei Army, as well as Li Yuan, Xue Ju, Du Fuwei, Luo Cheng and other forces, sooner or later they will have to divide the winners and losers, and the rebel armies in various places will also be incorporated and suppressed, and the people are more enthusiastic about unification, so there will be no more wars and a peaceful life, so, big boss, you have to think in advance, if Li Mi succeeds, whether it is more successful than Dou Jiande, Li Yuan, Du Fuwei, Liu Wuzhou, etc., Is it more beneficial to us? ”

After Zhai Rang heard Jia Xiong's words, he was silent, and his heart was also struggling, he put down the first position and became the second from the boss position.

"You say, can Li Mi succeed in the end, this is a point of no return." Zhai Rang asked suspiciously.

Jia Xiong explained: "At least now the army is firm, the morale is like a rainbow, I believe the proverb, I think he is the true dragon emperor, and the opportunity is greater than that of Dou Jiande and others." ”

"Those new generals seem to admire and support him very much?"

Jia Xiong said: "This is Li Mi's strategy, recently exchanged for military exploits, those unruly generals and green forest heroes, he is very respected, and the leaders of the rebel army everywhere are calling the king and the emperor, this is related to their interests, just imagine, once Li Mi is called the emperor, then in terms of meritorious deeds, the current group of people are all considered core figures, and they will not be small when they are crowned officials, and they will take the lead, so they all hope that Li Mi can stand up, unless, Zhai Da is now the emperor, and he is promised to be a high-ranking official to meet his interests, and there may be a little chance." ”

"Emperor?" Zhai Rang heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was born in a poor peasant, he had only been a local official for a few years, and he was not an official appointed by the imperial court, so he felt that his background was not prominent enough, so he never thought of being an emperor.

"Forget it, let me think about it. Time is not waiting for me, it's time to abdicate and make way for Xian. Zhai Rang sighed, his face was inevitably a little concerned, and he exuded a sense of loss.

Luo Zhaoyun rode his horse and galloped, surrounded by eighteen Yanyun cavalry, as well as two hundred guards, and the mighty five thousand cavalry behind him to protect him, and entered Xihai County.

It belongs to the plateau area, the vast grassland, the clear blue sky, it seems so open, there are no rugged foothills, no dense jungle, and the green grass is like grass felt spreading out on the earth.

Du Ruhui, Xue Wancheng and others came to the Northwest Plateau for the first time, and they felt strange and fresh about the frontier land.

The caravan marched along the shore of the clear Qinghai Lake towards Fuqi City.

Luo Zhaoyun looked at Qinghai Lake, and suddenly thought that there is the largest salt lake in China, which is definitely a treasure land, inexhaustible, according to later generations, just one salt from the Zarhan Salt Lake can be eaten by the world for thousands of years.

However, this is the salt making method of the times is too rough, the salt eaten by the common people is bitter, even if the aristocratic household salt, it is also a salt block stone, relatively poor, the taste is slightly better, but compared with the refined salt of later generations, there are many processes and thousands of years of process.

Zhuojun is close to the Bohai Sea, and the Chamber of Commerce organized by Tianluo makes salt there, compared with the fine salt noodles of later generations, it can only be regarded as coarse salt grains, but compared with the salt of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is several times better, at least it is not bitter, and it does not have the taste of other compounds.

Luo Zhaoyun's heart moved at this time, if he could make a salt pan here, he could cooperate with the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and even sell it to Persia and other Middle Eastern countries, in exchange for gold, silver, spices, and cash crops, strengthen exchanges between the East and the West, and earn more money from Westerners.

Once the trade is opened and the Silk Road is reset, there will be a lot of money, and Luo Zhaoyun feels that he should find an opportunity to take these border counties, rise from the northwest, and gradually advance to the Central Plains.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves in the direction of Fu Qicheng resounded, smoke and dust rolled, Li Jing, Hou Junji and other military generals, led a group of personal guards, came to meet the minister Luo Zhaoyun.
