Chapter 138 The people of Yidi are afraid of power but not virtue
“…… This person is not only extremely proficient in a meal, but also quite accomplished in other things, some time ago because of the Hedong salt pond suffered from the turn of the dragon, the counties of Hedong suffered from the salt shortage, and the price of salt in Mayi also rose three times a day, and the people suffered greatly, so that some people were bedridden, selling their sons and daughters......
…… At this moment, this person took a righteous action and offered the method of refining green salt from salt ore, and helped to build a salt factory to produce green salt, and helped the people of Mayi to tide over this crisis......"
Li Jing told the salt shortage and what Han Cheng had done, the purpose was to let Changsun Sheng know that this person was really not a cook, and at the same time highlighted the importance of Han Cheng, especially for Ma Yi, for fear that he, the uncle, would be determined to take that kid away.
I didn't think there was anything before, especially after noticing some of his daughter's thoughts about that kid, Li Jing was still a little annoyed with Han Cheng for a while.
When I thought of Han Cheng in my heart, I no longer called him Xiaoyou, but replaced it with the kid of the Han family.
But at this moment, after the eldest grandson Shibo opened his mouth and made it clear that he wanted to take the kid away, Li Jing immediately found that he was really reluctant to let the kid leave.
After missing this kid, the matter of eating will be put aside first, just on the confrontation with the Wang family on top of salt, he will become less confident than before.
In addition to these, Li Jing also had some other thoughts, that is, to tell Changsun Sheng about the salt shortage.
The ins and outs of this matter, it is necessary to let this Shibo know that if he can win the support of this Shibo, he will be able to become more confident.
However, there are a lot of things involved in the salt shortage, and some things are inconvenient for outsiders to know, so Li Jing's original plan was to wait until this banquet is over, and then tell Changsun Sheng about it.
But at this moment, when it came to the question of the Han family's boy going to stay, he had no choice but to say it at this time.
Of course, he only said some things on the surface, some things that were not suitable for words in front of everyone, and he did not mention them.
But that's enough.
"Is this true? Does that person really have such skills? Do these righteous deeds again? ”
Changsun Sheng suddenly sat upright, and his tone became solemn, no longer the same as before.
"Shibo in front of him, how dare the kid have half a word? What is said is true. ”
After Li Jing saw Changsun Sheng's reaction, he was immediately overjoyed in his heart, and felt that his eldest grandson Shibo would not take that kid away again.
Of course, he didn't dare to show it on his face.
"If that's the case, then I'm rude and almost humiliated such a character."
Changsun Sheng, who became solemn, said with some regret and self-blame.
"There is such a character in Ma Yi, and the old man has said that he wants to see him at this point, and the virtuous nephew will invite him quickly."
"It's quite a mess in the hall, why don't you go to the study......"
Li Jing said with a smile.
Changsun Sheng was originally the kind of person with exquisite thoughts, otherwise it would not have been possible to turn the powerful Turks into what they are today.
When Li Jing told him about the salt shortage just now, there were many things in his words, and at this time, he said that he went to the study, and he instantly understood what Li Jing meant, and knew that this virtuous nephew should have the rest of the things to talk about with him.
Immediately followed Li Jing's words and said: "It's okay, you are full of wine and food, and you really need to take a break, I heard that Han Zhuguo left some military books and war strategies, which were treasured by the virtuous nephew, and I just took the opportunity to take a ......look at it today."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Li Jing.
The subordinate officials who followed all wanted to see such characters, especially the one with strong Hu characteristics.
Compared with the farming peoples, the grassland people have a greater thirst for salt, even more than the thirst for gold.
At this moment, when Li Jing heard about this magical method of making salt, this person immediately became excited, if the grassland can obtain this method of salt making, he can bring this method of salt making back to ......
Just thinking about it like this, this person couldn't help but tremble slightly.
However, after hearing Li Jing say that he would go to the study, and Changsun Sheng said that Han Baohu left behind the war strategy, some clever people immediately stopped thinking about going to Li Jing's study with Changsun Sheng.
Books are extremely important and precious things in this era, not to mention the military books and strategies left by a generation of generals.
The value is immeasurable, who is willing to show it easily?
Changsun Sheng has a lot of friendship with the late Han Zhuguo, and he is commensurate with Li Jing as a nephew, so it naturally has nothing to do with going to see it, and he and others don't have such a big face.
Of course, some people know that this may just be an excuse, but this excuse has already indicated what Changsun Sheng meant, that is, you don't come with me.
The top bosses have conveyed such a meaning, so they naturally can't help but be interested, so they are very wise not to keep up.
But not everyone can quickly perceive the meaning of this, and be aware of the situation, such as the Turkic who was excited because of this unexpected news, and the two subordinate officials who were slow to react, after standing up from behind the case, they went to Changsun Sheng's side, and put on a posture of going to Li Jing's study with Changsun Sheng.
"After a tiring day, everyone has worked hard, and the virtuous nephew has prepared a place to stay for everyone, so go and rest early, knowing that there are thousands of miles to go behind......"
Such ignorance of current affairs, of course, he couldn't get what he wanted, and was blocked by Changsun Sheng's mouth.
Soon a steward came and led them to the guest rooms to rest, and all the people, whether they wanted to or not, had no choice but to go with them to rest.
Even the Turks, who were most reluctant and most eager to get their hands on this method of making salt right away, was the same......
"Virtuous nephew, I just said the novel method of making salt, and I didn't think about it."
Coming to Li Jing's study, after Li Jing sent someone to invite Han Cheng to come over to meet, Changsun Sheng sat down and said to Li Jing at the top.
"Shibo is saying that the Turks will covet this method?"
Li Jing has been in Mayi as a county for several years, and has a deep understanding of the steppe and the Turkic people, so after listening to Changsun Sheng's words, he has already understood what Changsun Sheng means after just a little thought.
"Well, you have been in the border county for a long time, and you should also know how much salt means to the Turks.
On the grassland, there are also salt ores, and when the Turks hear about such a magical method in your place today, they will definitely be extremely moved and will not sit idly by.
The people of Yidi are afraid of power but not virtue, and although the Turks are now subservient to me, they are not my people from the Central Plains after all......"
