readx;?? After glancing at the surviving residents who had helped Zhao Qian find and treat Zhao Village, Zhang Jiashi followed Kong Gang and came to the outside of the wall of Zhao Village for some distance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info (Initial Release)

On two tree stumps not far apart, Zhang Jiashi and Kong Gang sat next to each other.

After glancing at Zhang Jiashi, Kong Gang said slowly: "General Zuo, please forgive me for being rude, because here and now, General Zuo's outfit is also worried about being ...... The people on the south know where they are. ”

Zhang Jiashi nodded slightly, and then said, "I don't know who this is?"

"This is really a faux pas under the post, and the subordinate is Kong Gang, the governor of Yangzhou County. I wonder if General Zuo can know how Gongzi Fusu is doing?"

Kong Gang's words made Zhang Jiashi a little wary: "I don't know what the relationship between Kong County Lieutenant and Gongzi Fusu is?"

Kong Gang looked at Zhang Jiashi and sighed slightly: "Kong Gang was still a lieutenant colonel in Jiuyuan County a year ago, because he was drunk and ruined a people's girl, if it weren't for Gongzi Fusu's past achievements with the Huns, I'm afraid that Kong Gang has become a white bone with a different head at this moment." ”

Zhang Jiashi is very clear that the difference between a lieutenant colonel and a county lieutenant, even in a border county, is more between the regular army or the armed police force and the chief of the public security bureau.

Such a transfer is certainly a punishment, but as Kong Gang said, in terms of Meng Tian's military regulations, Kong Gang's such a thing, even if it is a leader, is not an exaggeration.

As the supervisor of the Northern Xinjiang Army, when Fusu dealt with this matter, it was indeed like his character, so that Kong Gang was dealt with reasonably in many senses.

Of course, the Qin army basically does not have a relatively unified set of military regulations now, which is also a factor on the one hand.

The army troops in the interior, the Qin army corps in the frontier, and the Qin army in the central army in the area directly under the internal history are military regulations that are almost very different from each other.

Zhang Jiashi didn't think this situation was reasonable, but compared with the actual environment in many places that could not be compared at all, this kind of military decree that had not yet been completely unified was more suitable for the current situation of the Great Qin Empire.

On the one hand, this also shows that the corresponding laws of the Great Qin Empire have great humanity and some corresponding loopholes.

Compared to Zhang Jiashi, if Zhang Jiashi had dealt with this problem at that time, it is estimated that Kong Gangdu might be like a black cloth, at least he would have been directly dismissed from his military position and become a small soldier.

And Zhang Jiashi was silent for a while, looked at Kong Gang, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then Zhang might as well say bluntly that Zhang Gongzi has died under a glass of poisonous wine......

And so it was. Kong Gang's expression was a little gloomy, because he had already figured out such a situation from the time when Zhan Lu Jian and Meng Tian were temporarily detained in the prison of Yangzhou City.

Kong Gang, who knew that he had no way to repay Fusu, lowered his head for a while before he said slowly: "General Zuo, please listen to Kong Gang, Fusu's entrustment of Zhan Lu Jian to you is a kind of trust in General Zuo, if there is a chance in the future, Kong Gang should serve General Zuo." ”

"Lieutenant Kong, who are you?"

Zhang Jiashi didn't quite understand why Kong Gang would say such a thing, he looked at Kong Gang for a while, and then nodded slowly.

Perhaps, no one knows what impact Zhang Jiashi's meeting with Kong Gang will have.

And watching Kong Gang stand up silently and then walk towards the background of Zhao Village, Zhang Jiashi's mood was very complicated. Because he doesn't seem to have a good impression of Kong Gang, but for a person who can clearly recognize the mistakes he made unintentionally, and knows that great favors will be repaid, Zhang Jiashi doesn't know whether his feelings for Kong Gang are right or wrong.

And Bai Qi said slowly: "This person is still a man." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jiashi nodded lightly.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After the affairs of Zhao Village were dealt with, it was almost dusk. Kong Gang, on the other hand, proposed to the dozens of surviving villagers of Zhao Village to relocate them to Yangzhou County and resettle them.

Many of the surviving villagers in Zhao Village, after a short discussion, most of the villagers accepted Kong Gang's proposal, and only a few were unwilling to leave.

In the face of the stubbornness of these people, or the fact that these people have given up their lives after such a blow.

In this battle, these villagers of Zhao Village, who were unwilling to leave, could basically be said to have nothing.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Jiashi could only shake his head silently. Heart disease also requires heart medicine, and the bell must be tied to the bell. Once a person gets into a dead end, many times, outsiders have nothing to do.

And Kong Gang and Zhao Qian also understood this truth, so the few villagers who were unwilling to leave Zhao Village, Kong Gang asked the county soldiers under his command to leave some money and grain.

And Zhang Jiashi silently looked at the few villagers of Zhao Village who were indifferent to the money and food in front of him, and he couldn't see any hope in the other party's eyes......

Perhaps, these people will be looking for ways to get out of such a world tonight.

And Chun Yuqiu wanted to help them, but Zhang Jiashi's expression was a little gloomy and he said: "If a person doesn't even need to live." There is only one path that awaits them. Let's go. ”

Chun Yuqiu heard Zhang Jiashi's words and wanted to say something, but she also felt that these people, they no longer had the motivation to continue to live. Case. These people, as Zhang Jiashi said, these outsiders, are simply powerless.

In the end, Chun Yuqiu sighed silently, followed Kong Gang's team, and continued to move forward.

......

About three miles away from Yangzhou City, there was a fork in the road that led to the southwest, Kong Gang left the team and trotted to the back of Zhang Jiashi's team.

He glanced at Zhang Jiashi and whispered, "Two, I'm afraid the situation in Yangzhou County is not suitable for the two of them to appear in the city." This road is the passage to Longxi County. If Mr. Zhang is in a hurry to return to Liaodong, then it is a safer road to take a detour from Longxi County to Wuguan, pass through Yingchuan County, and seek a suitable road to the north to reach Liaodong County. At this point, Kong Gang wished the two of them a safe journey. ”

"Thank you, County Lieutenant Kong. Zhang Jiashi nodded, and then silently looked at the city wall of Yangzhou County, which was faintly visible at dusk, and shook his fist at Kong Gang: "Farewell, I hope to see you again in the future." ”

At this time, a female voice came: "Two, although Zhao Qian doesn't know where the two of you need to go, but Zhao Qian still hopes to be able to walk with the two, I don't know if the two of you accept the little girl?"

After Zhang Jiashi heard this, he glanced at Chun Yuqiu.

To be honest, Zhang Jiashi still recognized Zhao Qian's strength, after all, in that case, Zhao Qian was still able to support for so long under the siege of several Hun swordsmen, and his own strength was not weak.

However, his team was not a "group of donkey friends" who planned to travel the mountains and rivers, because he was not sure whether the Northern Xinjiang Province was safe, Zhang Jiashi had to disguise himself, and then detoured back to the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire, seeking an opportunity to return to Liaodong County.

Zhang Jiashi, who was not sure what his future was at all, looked at this Zhao Qian, who did not have the noble temperament of Ying Lian, but was also heroic, Zhang Jiashi slowly shook his head: "Miss Zhao, you villagers should need you more." ”

"In this matter, the county lieutenant Kong has promised Zhao Qian that the villagers of Zhao Village will be properly resettled, and the little woman hopes to be able to see the situation outside, instead of being in this place all the time. Zhao Qian's words made Zhang Jiashi silent for a while, and then looked at Chun Yuqiu.

After all, in such a situation, the two women seem to communicate better.

However, Chun Yuqiu directly ignored Zhang Jiashi's eyes, and then said happily to Zhao Qian: "That's good, Sister Zhao, my sister has long wanted to see more places." ”

"Gotta ...... Confucius is honest and doesn't deceive me......" Zhang Jiashi looked speechlessly at the two women who seemed to have chatted together.

At this time, Kong Gang showed an expression that was the same, and after giving Zhang Jiashi a look of self-begging, he left directly with his fists clenched.

Well, Zhang Jiashi knows that he has no other choice now. Because Bai Qi said a sentence: "This woman's strength is good, and besides, Kong Gang should avoid some things that you will encounter, so I hope the strength around you can be stronger." ”

Okay, Zhang Jiashi touched his nose, looked at the night, and said, "Let's find a post station to stay." ”

Zhang Jiashi, who said this, acquiesced more to such a situation.

And after Kong Gang's team set off towards Yangzhou City again, Zhang Jiashi walked towards the southwest passage with Chun Yuqiu and Zhao Qian, the new people who joined the team.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In contrast to Zhang Jiashi's experience in these days, the dozen or so salt-carrying ships sent out by Chen Ping finally arrived in the Dengzhou area of the later generations from the shallow sea area of Bohai Bay after several days of travel.

In Xiao He's thoughts, the fleet should land directly from Jimo, a large port in the hometown area of the Qi Kingdom. But for many reasons, Chen Ping vetoed this solution, which could solve the problem more directly.

Because Jimo is a large port in the hometown of Qi, it is also one of the few cities with a large number of troops stationed in the Qin army in Shandong. If the Qin army troops sent out clashed with the local county soldiers or powerful forces, they would only suffer a great loss.

Therefore, Chen Ping gave up this plan, and instead asked Qin Min, who was sent out, to command the fleet to anchor in a relatively sparsely populated area in northern Shandong, looking for the best trading power.

Qin Min is one of the few people who can understand naval warfare among the generals under Zhang Jiashi's command, and Qin Min did not complain about anything after receiving Chen Ping's order. After all, such an arrangement is still acceptable to Qin Min.

With the Liaodong County trade order sent to them by Chen Ping, Qin Min also sent several Liaodong salt merchants who accompanied him.

Of course, this is also indispensable to the disciples of the Mo family who are responsible for guarding and monitoring these merchants. After all, Chen Ping and others don't believe in these profit-chasing businessmen very much.

After completing such preparations, Qin Min ordered his ships to hide on an island off the coast.

......

It has basically become the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and in the absence of more interests, the "loyalty" of businessmen themselves can still be guaranteed. Of course, the protection and surveillance of those Mo disciples is also a very normal situation in many cases.

After these merchants entered Jiaodong County, they quickly contacted several local salt merchants.

After seeing the samples of this fine grain of salt, which resembles fine sand, many merchants were able to see the huge profits that these fine salts brought to them.

Of course, there are those who want to use dishonorable means to get these refined salts out of thin air.

Of course, these disciples of the Mo family who were sent out to monitor these personnel were not wine bags and rice bags, and there was a merchant who planned to use his connections to try to eat the dozen or so boatloads of fine salt in Qin Min's hands, and before they could put it into action, they were assassinated by a group of assassin troops who had been trained for half a year and secretly arranged by Chen Ping and Xiao He to act.

Of course, in order to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so that many businessmen cut off their crooked thoughts, Qin Min's order to these assassin troops was to leave no chickens and dogs.

It can be said that the lives of more than 60 people in this businessman's family declare how terrible the power behind Qin Min is.

This situation was a successful warning to other businessmen who had other ideas.

After receiving the news, Jiang You, the county guard of Jiaodong County, did not send county soldiers to search for the murderer together with the county lieutenant.

However, Qin Min, who was hidden on the island, looked at the Qin Junlou boat soldiers who occasionally passed by the south of the island, revealing a touch of sarcasm.

With those businessmen who are willing to cooperate, the details of the transaction between them are still being discussed. After nearly a week of peeling, the fine salt weighing one stone finally changed hands at the price of three eridium gold.

If Zhang Jiashi knew about this problem, he would probably say with a bitter face: "This price is simply a big sale of jumping off the building." Half of the price is expensive, and there may be many people rushing to buy it. ”

Of course, Qin Min could be said to be quite satisfied when he looked at the gold of more than 3,000 eridium. Because it was the first time he had done a solo mission.

The fly in the ointment is that, according to what he knows, Chen Ping has an agreement with these accompanying merchants, that is, these merchants will receive one-tenth of the gold as a reward after the matter is completed.

According to Qin Min's thoughts, it was simply unnecessary to give these businessmen so much money.

But Qin Min himself also knows very well that since Chen Ping has an agreement with these people, if he regrets it, losing his credit is secondary, and it is very likely that all kinds of troubles will occur, and it is estimated that Chen Ping is unwilling to face it.

......

Next, Qin Min did not return directly to Liaodong, but drove west to the sea area north of Linzi County.

Since the autumn harvest had not yet arrived at this time, as one of the highest times of the year, Qin Min and the merchants had spent almost 1,000 eridium in gold to be able to fill the warehouses of more than a dozen large ships with the old grain and various seeds from last year's harvest.

In the face of such a situation, Qin Min was also very helpless, at this time, winter is not the time when the grain price is the highest in a year, but the period before the new grain harvest is approaching, which is the time when the grain price is the highest.

Of course, when buying grain, Qin Min no longer had to dodge many times, but openly and openly under the banner of General Zuo, he bought a large amount of grain and seeds of many crops in Linzi County.

Seeing this, the merchants of Linzi County even did not hesitate to slightly lower some of their profits and trade with Qin Min's fleet.

Otherwise, it is estimated that it is unlikely that he would use a thousand eridium to buy what Qin Min wanted at this time.

......

After Qin Min returned to Dingxiang City, he was praised by Chen Ping.

Of course, Chen Ping and Xiao He were very depressed when they looked at the dozen boxes of gold in front of them after Qin Min left.

They know very well that the money is basically not allowed to be spent, and now Zhang Jiashi's construction in Liaodong is like a bottomless pit in many places.

Just like the iron workshop that Zhang Jiashi was researching and building in the area named Anshan in the south of Dingxiang City, the cost of investment made Chen Ping and Xiao He and others feel even more heartbroken.

However, listening to what Zhang Jiashi said, Chen Ping and Xiao He knew very well that this huge investment, as long as this place can really be produced, then its value is not comparable to the current "small" investment.

After Yingxi's consent, Zhang Jiashi's small salt factory decided to expand the scale of production under Xiao He's personal observation.

The current salt farm, under the protection of Shusun Zhong and hundreds of Qin army troops, can even be said to be one of the relatively safe areas in the eastern Liaodong region.

After the construction of the attached small salt farms was put into operation one after another, Zhang Jiashi's salt factory used Zhang Jiashi's salt making method to produce more and more fine salt.

If it weren't for some considerations, Chen Ping and his people would have continued to trade this fine salt with the counties of Shandong, earning enough money to buy the goods they needed and allowing many places to be free from financial constraints.

Of course, the profits obtained from the trade of fine salt with the Donghu people are certainly not as "small" as the profits obtained from the trade in the coastal areas, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are even several times greater. However, once this kind of thing is known to Zhang Jiashi, Chen Ping, Xiao He and others know very well that they are lucky not to be slaughtered by Zhang Jiashi.

Grain, bronze, iron, salt, these kinds of items, in the terms of the Great Qin, the restrictions are also very strict.

Once the corresponding trade is detected, the penalties can be very severe. But this kind of smuggling, not to mention civilians, even many Daqin officials in inland counties are quite eager to smuggle.

Of course, at this time, Chen Ping and Xiao He and others thought of a good place for materials to be tilted, that is, Jizi North Korea, which is located in the east of Liaodong County.

According to Chen Pingren's predictions, it is only natural that the North Korean people will be able to eat more refined salt produced in these days, and it will be more profitable.

It's just that Chen Ping is worried about whether Jizi North Korea will resell these fine salts to Donghu and get more profits, which is something that Chen Ping can't judge.

However, the financial pressure that was still stretched thin made Chen Ping have to gamble......
