Since Dagou Bay went north, although there were most headwinds, it still arrived at the mouth of the Yan'an River two days later.

The trestle bridge here has been repaired, and because the clansmen boil salt here, Yan Zheng named this place Yangang.

When the two boats were led by the dogs, the young men on the boat let out bursts of cheers, and they jumped off the boat desperately, and when they ran to the shore, they lay on the ground, and all of them cried.

Lehi felt helpless, who made this group of guys reluctant to get off the boat all the time?

"Brother Li, let's get to the place?"

The person sent by the Song family is also a shopkeeper, called Song Derong, he was born in a family, his figure is burly, although he is middle-aged, but his whole body exudes a lean.

Being able to send Song Derong to Dongfan also shows that the head of the Song family attaches great importance to this matter, because Song Derong is a generation higher than the juniors after all, and he can be regarded as the person who follows the head of the Song family.

Li Haigou pointed to the Yan'an River and said, "They call this river the Yan'an River, and from this river, you can reach the city of the short-haired king!"

Song Derong nodded, looked at the place, and felt nothing but desolation.

The victims who came with them also stepped off the boat one by one, looking at the land in front of them, their eyes also with deep confusion.

"Then let's go and see the short-haired king first?" Song Derong asked.

Lehiu said, "You and I will go back and see the king first, these things and the victims, let them stay here first, and see how the king arranges!"

Song Derong nodded and said, "That's excellent!"

Li Haigou immediately instructed Tian Wu a few words, asking him to warn these people not to run around.

Then he called two barbarian boys, supported a bamboo raft, and took Song Derong upstream.

Song Derong looked curiously along the way, and the only thing that surprised him was the aqueduct by the sea, which flowed into the sea at high tide, and then after several lifts, it finally turned into brine for boiling salt.

And there was a straw next to it, and fine salt was oozing from it.

He hadn't seen this method of boiling salt, so he was curious: "Brother Li, this short-haired king cooks salt here, and what is the output?"

Li Haigou shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but they don't lack salt, and the salt is very fine, much better than the salt I have eaten before!"

"Oh!" This surprised Song Derong, and he hurriedly said: "If you can, you can also do this salt business with us!"

"Salt business? Is there still a shortage of salt in Fujian? Lehi asked.

Song Derong smiled and said: "Fujian is naturally short of salt, although it is close to the sea, but Fujian has no stove households, and the imperial court salt administration has not been managed to Fujian, and it only takes two or three days to ship Guangzhou salt to Fujian, so most of the salt eaten in Fujian is purchased from outside!"

Li Haigou nodded: "Then you can talk to the short-haired king Haosheng, and it is not difficult to produce more salt!"

In fact, Song Derong did not explain another article, that is, most of these salts were smuggled by them, and they used water conservancy to smuggle them directly to northern Fujian and eastern Jiangxi.

This business is also a million profits, even the Fujian government has turned a blind eye because the emperor of heaven and earth is far away.

After a few more voyages, the dog met a group of barbarians who had gone down the river, and when they saw them, they chattered a few words.

Then the barbarians sped up happily, and cheered a few times from time to time.

Song Derong looked at the people who came here and saw that they were all short-haired and black-faced, and suddenly understood the title of short-haired king.

In this way, Song Derong asked for some information from time to time, and Li Haigou answered as much as possible.

By the time I saw Meadow, it was already the morning of the next day.

Song Derong had a long journey, but when he saw the fertile fields here, he couldn't help but sigh.

"This side of the water and soil is really good!" Song Derong sighed.

But as soon as he approached Meaux, he heard a dull noise, which was accompanied by shouts.

He was a man who had seen the world, but he really felt strange when he heard the sound, and when he went ashore, he found that a group of barbarian soldiers in the distance was training!

I saw that when they were drilling, there was fire and smoke, accompanied by thunderous movements.

"These black-faced barbarians seem to be tigers and wolves!" Song Derong was secretly shocked in his heart.

In fact, what they saw today was an exercise being conducted to attack the headquarters of the Maowu Society.

Li Haigou also felt a little strange, he had only been away for about twenty days, but the city of Momo had already changed a little, such as the waterwheel next to the ironworks, which had become even larger.

Outside the city of Mo, a lot of sheds have been rebuilt, and Wang Jiang and a few women are moving under the sheds, as if they are teaching those female barbarians how to spin linen.

Li Haigou said to Song Derong as he walked: "Brother Derong, this place is a little shabby, and you may have to be wronged in hospitality, but this short-haired king has no other benefits, that is, he is very easy-going, and he won't put on any shelf!"

Song Derong walked with his hands in his hands and said: "Although this place is simple, it can be regarded as a happy land, and the people who come and go here have no vegetables on their faces, presumably this king is also a person who will understand the people's feelings!"

Li Haigou smiled and said: "There is no oppression by the government in this place, and there is a lot of land, so naturally everyone can eat enough!"

As the two of them spoke, they walked into the city of Meaux, and as soon as they entered the city, several brute soldiers stopped them, and after passing the geek, the brute ran to pay a respect.

Song Derong stood in place and waited, his eyes kept scanning this small city, only to feel that it was not as good as the siege of the rich man in the countryside.

However, it is indeed very neat and tidy, no matter the houses and streets, it seems to be very orderly, and what is even more rare is that it is very clean.

From a distance, he saw that several pigs were galloping happily, and as soon as they pooped, someone hurried to clean them up.

He saw that there were deer in captivity here, and he couldn't help asking, "Brother Li, is there deer antler in this place?"

Li Haigou said vaguely: "I don't know about this, I only know that there is a deerskin!"

Song Derong smiled and said: "You can tell those people that deer antler velvet is the tender horn of a deer, and the price of that thing is no less than that of deer skin, as long as they are good at collecting it, raising deer is better than raising pigs!"

Li Haigou nodded, thinking that a wealthy businessman like the Song family, if he took someone out casually, he would never leave the business.

At this time, the soldier who had gone to report also walked back and made a gesture of please.

Li Haigou and Song Derong, escorted by several soldiers, walked towards the Red Room.

When he entered the inner city, Song Derong couldn't help but smack his tongue, because although there are mostly thatched houses here, the front and back of the house are all hardened with triple soil, and ditches are set up.

The whole inner city is very clean, and the barbarians inside are dressed more decently, but the shape of the clothes is a little strange.

When he came to the Red Room, several brute soldiers searched his whole body, and the method used was also very savage, that is, to strip him off his clothes layer by layer.

Thinking of the preferential treatment given to him by the Song family, Li Haigou felt that this was not hospitality, but he didn't dare to say it.

But Song Derong was very calm, he looked at the red house, and felt that if this was the palace, then this barbarian king was too simple.

I am afraid that a few large tiled houses of small landlords in the countryside will be a hundred times better than this house.
