Therefore, it is foreseeable that the Andican salt field will be one of the important taxes of Bancheng County in the future.

Originally, in the eyes of the Ministry of Households, this should be entrusted to the Superintendent. Although Ugurabal was warm, he also knew that he didn't have a chance. But Mu Erguo's sudden throwing out of the big cake of the salt pan still made his heart move.

He swallowed his saliva, a little unconvinced: "What the eunuch said is true? ”。

"The county keeper is really joking! This is what the lord of the country said, how can it be child's play! Murgo said with a little feign.

"But although there are salt pans, there is no way to refine salt." Although he also knew the wealth contained in the salt pan, he could not sell the salt pan without the purification method mastered by the superintendent.

Mu Erguo smiled even more, and responded: "The county guard is too worried!" The lord of the country knew that the county guard was in trouble, so he brought some craftsmen who supervised the division. They all know how to refine salt, and they will never do the errands properly for the county guard. ”。

In the final analysis, Li Chengji is also enthusiastic about Andy's salt fields. Therefore, I am not willing to give all my income to the household department to take care of it. So he let Ugulaba take over, and then he took a certain amount of money from it.

After all, the treasury is separate from the private treasury! As Khorasan took a bigger step, more and more money was needed. Li Chengji also has to find more ways to make money so that he can fill his inner treasury.

Having said that, Ugulaba has no worries. Anyway, he is doing things for Li Chengji, even if he is scolded by Liu Di Wan, Li Chengji also thinks of this feeling. Coupled with the benefits of Yantian, he really couldn't refuse.

So after thinking about it, he still took the errand.

After leaving, he sent someone to inform the guests to go to the house. On the grounds that the lord of the country was unwell, the banquet for the evening was canceled. At the same time, the craftsmen sent by the superintendent were immediately escorted to Andicon. Let's hurry up and get the salt pans up and increase taxes for Bancheng County.

And a hundred miles away, the Hungry Ghost Pass in the upper reaches of the Balkh River. A cavalry of more than 1,000 men had been camped here for several days.

"Hasn't the lord arrived yet?" , Abrajiang stared at the ten household chiefs who came to report and said loudly.

"My subordinates have already seen the lord's guards, and there are still an hour or two before this place." , the head of the ten households said solemnly.

This made Abrajiang's heart always settle down a little. It was also Li Chengji who covered up his behavior and did not bring many soldiers and horses. As a result, Abrajiang is inevitably not worried about Li Chengji's safety.

Therefore, after receiving Kalwang's secret order, he hurriedly took his soldiers and horses to the Hungry Ghost Pass as fast as possible, so as to welcome Li Chengji's holy car.

This is the gateway to the Hibal Pass, named after the bloody jaws of hungry ghosts. The terrain is rugged and the drop is huge. There are also strange rocks, scattered with primeval jungle. Therefore, when passing through this place, it is easy to stumble and fall under the cliff.

As a result, over time, the place became notorious.

Abrajan is not a patient man! So he didn't sit for long, so he let the head of the ten households lead the way and led a small group of soldiers and horses to meet him.

Restricted by rough terrain! The official road on the road is not easy to walk. And if you really want to think about it, it's not official. It's just a trail that is tread by people along the mountain. When passing by, you have to follow the mountain.

And from time to time, beware of rockfalls on the mountain. Otherwise, it is easy to be smashed into the gorge washed out by the Balkh River.

Abrajan didn't know about the danger of this road before! So the further you go, the more frightened you become. I also thought in my heart that I couldn't let Lee Seungji take such a dangerous path no matter what.

But he still didn't have time to stop it!

Because just halfway through, he bumped into Lee Seungji's guards. After asking again, it turned out that Li Chengji had already embarked on this dangerous road.

"Yarahei, you can leave as soon as possible, don't worry about me!" , Li Chengji looked at the eight black who followed him, constantly looking at the mountainside, and said with some amusement.

This time he went to Bami, and he brought Ba Rahei with him. Originally, the two brothers were indeed ordered by Tayang Valley to ask for help. But Li Chengji is not a virgin, so naturally it is impossible to agree.

But on the surface, he still didn't refuse. Instead, he asked Ba Rahei's younger brother to go back to his life, saying that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. As for Barakhei, he served as an envoy left in Khorasan in Tayang Valley, so as to facilitate the transmission of the will between the two sides.

It's just that Li Chengji attaches great importance to Ba Rahei. When chatting with him, he also found that he had quite an opinion on military affairs. As a result, it also aroused Li Chengji's love for talents, and he had the idea of keeping him by his side.

This time I went south, so I let Ba Rahei follow.

"Yes! Lord of the Kingdom! Yarahei nodded in response, still vigilant about the mountainside. It is also the mountain on which they rest, and it is all bare stones. Some of them are even more prominent, which makes people feel shocked.

Li Chengji didn't bother to remind him anymore. Let the eight black be nervous, and slowly follow the pace of the front army.

When he heard that Abrajiang was already waiting for him in front, Li Chengji was still a little happy in his heart. Because this journey is indeed not smooth. On several occasions, they have encountered mountain bandits who want to disadvantage them. However, because the guards were brave and good at fighting, they finally repelled all those who had bad intentions.

This also made Li Chengji swear that in the future, if it is not necessary, he must never take such a risk again. After all, it was planted in the hands of mountain bandits, not to mention a big loss. also lost face, and it was very embarrassing to pass it out.

Just as he leaned against the mountain, walking cautiously. A muffled sound suddenly came from my ears. I saw the mountain swaying, and some gravel slid down one after another.

"There was an earthquake!" , Li Chengji reacted immediately. Because it is located at the junction of tectonic plates, the Hindu Kush Mountains, earthquakes occur frequently. When Li Chengji and them entered the mountain, they experienced it several times.

However, the magnitude of the earthquake is relatively small, and the impact is not large. Li Chengji, like the locals, didn't take it seriously.

But when an earthquake strikes in such a steep area, it is really dangerous.

"Lord of the Kingdom!" , the guards in front of Ba Ra Hei and Li Chengji immediately knocked Li Chengji down. In this case, there is no other way than to resign yourself to fate.

After a few breaths, the shaking finally stopped. Li Chengji's heart was pounding, and he was still a little frightened.

Fortunately, the mountain is relatively strong, and although there are gravel falls, there are not many. However, a few guards were unfortunate enough to be stoned into the canyon below. At this height, it is likely that there are no bones left.

Li Chengji was fine except that his elbow was bruised by a protruding stone when he fell. Except for some sand and dust on their faces, they didn't have any external injuries.

(I'm sorry, the state is not good, I owe it first.) ）
