There are many salty springs and salts in Qianzhong and Fuling, and the Chu State has disturbed the realm several times for the sake of salt water and spring salt, after all, it is the white deer king's white water sparrow tongue that often asks for hundreds of yellow finch, and the shiny salt is indispensable.

Without salt, grains and vegetables are tasteless. However, now Qianzhong is occupied by the Chu State, so only Fuling is left with salt to supply a huge Ba country.

Salt has always been in the hands of the government, and the price of salt has doubled in the near future. After all, Pakistan is decided by the temple nobles, after all, 600,000 Pakistani households must have no salt.

Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, generously assigned Qianzhong to the king of Bailu, including Yanli.

Pakistan has expensive salt, and the price of salt in Guizhou has not moved, but it is a big crime for people to sell salt, after all, salt is monopolized by the government.

Jiangcheng, the palace, the temple, the three princes and the six kings are all there, and the young king is naturally there.

"Your Majesty thinks that the price of salt is not suitable for adjustment," Jiang Wangshu said, "The people take food as the sky, and the four things of firewood, rice, oil and salt are fundamental." ”

The young king was young and couldn't understand these temple things, so he wanted to go out to play, and looked at the Taishi Ba Mang.

Since Ba Mang cut his wrists and hugged the new king Xiang Liang with blood instead of milk, Xiang Liang was only close to Ba Mang, and it was bitter if he couldn't see it, so Ba Mang had to take the new king all day long.

However, he is the governor of the Western Frontier, after all, he has to be in charge of the Western Army, so he has to be handed over to others to take charge of the Western Army.

Ba Mang shook his head at the young king, indicating that this was the rule, so the young new king had to sit with a small face.

Mustard Seed bowed his hand to the new king and said: "It's not easy to be in charge, Taifu has been playing around for a long time, and I don't know how to govern the country is more difficult than being the master of the house. Even the salt water spring salt was also accounted for by the Chu State. ”

"What Taibao said is extremely true, the Chu State has occupied Qianzhong and Wuling for a long time, and if you don't take it back, I'm afraid that the spirit of the first king in the sky will not be at peace." Xie Qing also said.

The two sang and harmonized, so taking back Qianzhong and Wuling is just a matter of mouthful?

In addition to Ba Mang, the remaining five doctors also stood on the side of the mustard seeds, all of them were filled with righteous indignation, and they couldn't wait to immediately take back Qianzhong and Wuling. As for the doubling of the price of salt, they never mentioned it, after all, the number of knife coins they received in a year was more than a handful of coarse salt, so who cared about the three or five knife coins they bought for salt in a year?

Three or five knife coins are enough for a family of three to save money for a few months.

"What does Jiang Hou think? If Qianzhong is withdrawn, don't say that the price of salt will be flattened, and it will be easy to negotiate if it is lowered again. Mustard laughed.

"Does the Taibao know that half of the 600,000 households of the Pakistani people have no men? Taibao knows how many old people are white-haired people sending black-haired people to the three million people in Ba? How many children of the three million Pakistani people do not know what their father looks like? Jiang Wangshu asked.

War, war, and war, but the so-called nobles watch the people of the world fight for their own interests, and those who suffer are the lowest after all.

The people in the temple were speechless, what Jiang Wangshu said was the truth, not counting the 500,000 households of Qi Min alone, and the 300,000 dead and wounded in the battle with Chu?

The entire 300,000 died as a child of the country.

"Qianzhong and Fuling can be ignored for now, but Jiang Hou should know about the Qidi Qi people's resistance to Chu, right?" In the end, it is a country master, Mustard Seed quickly said with a calm expression.

After all, the Qi people are still Ba people, and the country of Ba and the country of Qi are two countries for the people.

Jiang Wangshu nodded, the pontoon bridge between Bayang and Xinli was cut off, and the people rushed to Huoquan Pass from all directions and seized the pass, just waiting for the pontoon bridge to cross the river.

"As far as I know, pontoon bridges are also being built in Bayang, and as long as the pontoon bridges between the two places are connected, Qi people can naturally enter Bayang," Jiang Wangshu said. ”

Mustard shook his head and smiled: "Taifu, you can take the opportunity to seize the three cities of Qidi and settle the people of Qi in one fell swoop, as long as you hold the Chu army of Huoquan Pass, what can you do?"

Jiang Wangshu is weighing, what Mustard Seed said is a good strategy, but doing so is a bad deal with the Chu State, I am afraid that the war will sweep again.

"What do you think?" Mustard asked loudly.

Liuqing nodded and said in unison: "What Taibao said is extremely true."

Jiang Wangshu was helpless, after all, he was only one of the three princes, and he was not alone in the temple.

Mustard is extremely proud, although he is only one of the three princes, but the temple is really his word.

"Taifu is in the north, and it is natural for Taifu to take action to capture Huoquan Pass." Mustard said.

What is the Marquis of Jiangjiang, what is the ruling Gui in the north, it is just a false position, how many generals and soldiers are there under Jiang Wangshu?

However, what Mustard said is not unreasonable, after all, it is the northern Zhigui, and the war in the northern is still up to him, and even the battle between the southern border and the Nanban, the battle between the western border and Shu and the battle between the eastern border and Chu all depend on this northern Zhigui.

Originally, he promised to catch up with Jiang Jue and the three of them, but now he can only delay it any longer, Jiang Wangshu feels a little guilty, but Jiang Jue's swordsmanship is self-contained and does not need his guidance at any time, and Jiang Jue is not very interested in governing the country and the people.

Another day, the Lu family's convoy met the grass bandits again, and they were as well-trained as the previous group and not like ordinary grass bandits, it seems that Jing Qijun's guess is true.

The three of them showed no mercy, since it was the hawk dog lackey of the mustard seed who killed it. Jing Qijun and Qi Guanzhuang were barely second-class, and it was a little difficult to fight against a few reckless, and those laborers were all a group of straw bales, so the burden was handed over to Jiang Jue.

No one doubted the strength of this young man, and he walked out of the pool of blood with his sword, and everyone sighed.

Gu Yu never teased Jiang Jue anymore, she no longer doubted that Jiang Jue killed more than a dozen people with a sword in Jiangcheng, after all, Jiang Jue was fighting alone in front of everyone, and more than twenty grass bandits only suffered some skin injuries.

Jiang Jue was covered in blood and led the black horse forward, there was a river in front of him, Jiang Jue did another thing that made the entire caravan dumbfounded, he jumped into the river and took a bath. Although the solar term has passed, the weather is still not warm, and the river water is even colder. Jiang Jue took a bath like a person who had nothing to do, and after taking the handover from Qi Guanzhuang, he quickly hid in the dense forest and changed his clothes.

"Childe is really admired by the little girl." Gu Yu thought about it for a long time before she figured out the word admiration that could barely express her meaning.

Jiang Jue waved her hand, she was not happy with her bloodstained body, she was not as particular as Gu Yu, every time she went to the city, she must take a hot bath, he was used to cold water.

So his temperament is also very cold, except for the people he cares about, he can't pretend to be superfluous people, but the people he cares about one wants to protect Pakistan, and the other has the world in mind.

"In the past, this business road was not so peaceful?" Qi Guanzhuang asked tentatively.

"It's all like that." Gu Yuqiao said with a smile.

Gu Yu naturally noticed that this road was not very smooth, and he had only encountered one or two batches of grass bandits and rogues all the way to Fuling before, and he had met three batches before he arrived in Fuling, which was really a bit abnormal.

Jiang Jue and Gu Yu each had their own thoughts and tacitly agreed.

When the caravan stepped forward, Qi Guanzhuang whispered: "Childe, Gu Yu, this woman is not simple, be careful."

Jiang Jue nodded, rode his horse to follow, still hanging at the tail of the team. Gu Yu waited for Jiang Jue to catch up and said, "Childe, do you want to know about the little girl?"

Jiang Jue didn't speak, he didn't care what Gu Yu was thinking, anyway, the two sides just took what they needed. So he didn't care about Gu Yu's matter, and he didn't even want to know, God knows if this powerful woman wanted to win his sympathy.

"The little woman's husband's family is the Bayang Lu family, and it is also one of the largest families, and my Lu family can be regarded as a good match."

"The son of the Lu family is not in good health," Gu Yu continued with a look you know, "The little girl hasn't had sex in the past few months since she got married. ”

"The little girl is a woman, she always has some needs, and she has complained to him, and he doesn't care, after all, the Lu family has a lot of business dealings."

"So the little woman spent money in front of her husband's family to invite a handsome little brother to flirt, just to make a show, so as to ruin her reputation." Gu Yu said with a wry smile.

Jiang Jue naturally knew a little bit about Gu Yufeng's bad reviews, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this.

"That's why my husband's family didn't want to see me, and my nominal husband was even more angry and bedridden."

"I feel sorry for my daughter, so I quit the marriage."

"The Lu family spread rumors, and the trouble was known all over the city, what can't be sealed is people's mouths, and what can't be cured is people's hearts."

"I'm not afraid of the child's jokes, the little girl is still a perfect body." Gu Yu's face turned crimson with shame, and he was stunned.

"Oh." Jiang Jue responded coldly, saying that he had finished listening. He held the "Book of Rites" in his hand, and anyway, the ox cart was walking slowly, and he rode on horseback to read the book in peace without delay.

Gu Yu was so angry that he stepped forward, and Qi Guanzhuang looked at the bewitching back and swallowed his saliva.

"Official, do you miss a woman?" Jiang Jue asked.

Qi Guanzhuang scratched his head embarrassedly, but his son-in-law knew his thoughts.

"Naturally, you look handsome after cutting your beard, and with such a sweet mouth of yours, you are still worried about not having a woman?" Jiang Jue took the "Book of Rites" and threw it to Qi Guanzhuang.

So after Qi Guanzhuang put away the "Book of Rites", he specially went to Gu Yu to ask for a pair of small scissors to cut off his beard, and then asked Jiang Jue for a short knife given by Ji Yanqing to shave the stubble.

In the end, it is a family of officials, although things are simple, but they still clean themselves up in a proper manner. Jiang Jue is very satisfied with the current appearance of Qi Guanzhuang, how handsome he is, much better looking than the bearded one.

When Qi Guanzhuang went to return the scissors, Gu Yu was stunned and almost didn't recognize it, she looked Qi Guanzhuang up and down, left and right, and then asked, "Are you Qi Guanzhuang?"

Qi Guan Zhuang nodded shyly, although his hand and etiquette were no worse than his tragic father, but he was not kempt.

"Do you know how to comb your hair?" Gu Yu naturally knew the origin of the Qi Guan's clan, and made a joke that was not big or small.
