Chapter 186: Cannon Fodder Without Salt 4

After going out, Yingman waved her hand to let everyone else go out to play, and she herself was trying to figure out how to make her own salt without being done, and then she thought of a thing, it was not only them who ate without salt.

There are also those officials who have no salt to eat, and even the troops stationed here, there is also no salt, the officials have no salt and still have money to buy it, there are so many people in the army, they can't afford it at all, and for a while, I heard that the army directly copied a few smuggler salt dealers.

But in addition to this, they have no other way, the officials who are assigned here are all born in poor families with no background, garrisons or something, the ancient soldiers are not as favored by the above as in modern times, the emperor is jealous, and the civil officials will try their best to deduct the use of the army.

This kind of salt shortage lasted for two and a half years, and at first even the price of private salt stabilized at a price five times higher than that of official salt, after all, although salt has to be eaten, but there is no money to buy it, and they really can't afford to eat it, and those people want to make money.

The soldiers in the garrison were also because they ate less salt, and in the end, when the barbarians came to attack again, the garrison couldn't stand it, so the barbarians broke into the pass directly, and I don't know what happened later, anyway, the original owner died.

You can't wait for the barbarians to go south before the imperial court discovers the problem of private salt, so that people can check it, right? What Yingman didn't know was that she really guessed correctly. This court has been passed down for 6 generations, and it has gradually begun to decay, and all kinds of bureaucratic corruption have corroded the country, if no one can remove these carrion and turn the tide, it is estimated that it will change the dynasty in more than ten years.

These are all later words, but now Yingman is thinking about how to be able to contact the army, if there is an army to bring people to make salt, then it should not be private salt.

Well, you have to think of a way to do this, "Xiaoman, what are you thinking?" Thinking about things, Yingman habitually walked to the barn, and everyone gathered here to contact War Dance by themselves, because War Dance can absorb aura, and they won't be hungry after practicing, so everyone prefers War Dance.

"I'm thinking, don't we have an army in the mountain city, I want to see the district. Yingman saw the others, and said casually.

"Where are you going to do something?" Brother Hao asked with some confusion.

"You see that we are also practicing martial arts now, I think we are better than those soldiers, if we are powerful, those barbarians will come to steal things in the future, and we can resist. When Yingman taught them martial arts, he also said that it was martial arts, and adults may not believe it when they hear it, but children can easily believe it, so they naturally have to make excuses at this time.

"That's right. "Don't look at the children here are quite small, but they all know that there are barbarians who will come to rob them, and the older ones have even experienced it themselves.

At this time, when Yingman said this, everyone was excited, and one of the little boys said: "My eldest brother is a soldier in the army, why don't we go and see my eldest brother?"

"My brother was there too. ”

"My brother too. Soon the children were babbling about their brother's military service.

"Then when can your brother come back?" Yingman didn't expect so many people in the village to go to the army.

"I seem to have been back last month. ”

"No, my brother hasn't been back in a long time. ”

"My brother is still at home. A child spoke very proudly, and Ying Man immediately looked over when he heard this, it was the youngest daughter of the Lin family.

The little girl saw that everyone was looking at her, raised her chin proudly, and then looked at Yingman, she was the same age as Yingman, but now Yingman is the child king of these big children's papers, and she is still very prestigious.

"Xiaoman, do you want me to call my brother over? He also brought a friend, I heard that it was his comrade-in-arms, let's compare with them. Lin Shanshan looked at Yingman and waved her small fist.

"Well, I'll go to your house and have a look, everyone will play here, and I'll talk about the enemy. Ying Man saw that everyone was eager to try, and hurriedly said.

"Okay, then you hurry up. The others quieted down.

"Let's go, then. Lin Shanshan heard Yingman say this, and was about to run home, Yingman hurriedly followed, and after arriving at Lin's house, Lin Shanshan shouted loudly: "Brother, I'm back, are you at home?"

"What are you shouting so loudly, a girl's family. Lin Shanhe heard the voice and came out and reprimanded. Lin Shanhe is a 15-year-old boy, he has only been in the army for a year, and there is a teenager behind him, who looks younger than him, but at a young age, he can already see his excellent appearance in the future.

"Not everyone shouts like that. Lin Shanshan pursed her lips, feeling that her eldest brother was really annoying, and she must defeat him.

Ying Man who came after him looked at the young man behind Lin Shanhe, although the young man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, but his temperament was not ordinary, not like he was also born in a poor family, but he was noble, a bit like he was born in a famous family.

While Yingman looked at the boy, the boy also saw Yingman, although Yingman was also born ordinary, but after several generations of precipitation, the temperament on his body has already undergone earth-shaking changes, but modern people can't see it except for some sensitive ones, and she herself is not aware of it.

The young man is naturally one of the few people, and he saw the difference between Yingman at a glance, so he spoke: "Okay, Shanhe, ask your sister if she has something to do with you." ”

"It's better to be a big brother, where you are like you, you will know that you will murder me. Lin Shanshan immediately crossed her waist proudly, and looked at Lin Shanhe even more speechless.

"Okay, are you in such a hurry about something?" Lin Shanhe said helplessly.

"I ......" Lin Shanshan was about to speak, but Yingman stopped, her original plan changed when she saw the young man.

"Shanshan, let me tell you. Yingman spoke, and Lin Shanshan immediately stopped talking, allowing Lin Shanhe to look at Yingman.

"Brother Lin, I'm actually looking for you for the sake of salt. Yingman didn't hide it either, and said directly.

"Salt?" the young man immediately looked over when he heard this, his eyes sharp.

"Well, recently there is no official salt, I can only go to buy private salt at a high price, private salt you also know, the price is too high, we can't afford to eat, I went to buy salt with my mother that day, it is already three times as high as official salt, and then when I secretly ran out, I heard them say how to make salt and told my parents, we have seawater near here that can make salt, but the family is very distressed, saying that it is illegal to make private salt, so they are very entangled. "I said everything in one breath.

"I don't think about it, the general in the army is the biggest official here, presumably the military has no salt to eat, if the general can let people make salt and then sell it to us at the price of official salt, we won't be able to afford it. Yingman added the reason why he was looking for them.

"So, can you help tell the general about this?" Ying looked at the two expectantly.
