Chapter 140: Calculating, Schadenfreude

"Woohoo!"

A series of dog barks frightened Zhang Juncheng into a clever man, grabbed the horse's belly and ran wildly.

It wasn't until he ran into the forest path and couldn't see anyone that he stopped, and when he saw that there was no one on the left and right, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a group of officers and soldiers leading a group of farmers, carrying shovels and pushing dung carts in the direction of him.

"The woods over there are not in someone else's name, they belong to the public, and the dung of our village will be piled up here in the future."

"Tomorrow, the big men in the county will send someone to tell us how to compost."

"You can't rely on manure alone, you have to mix soil and grass to be fertile and clean."

Damn Zhang Junlin, he knows how to cover up his crimes.

The soil and grass are indeed clean, but how much manpower and material resources do they consume?

Zhang Juncheng glanced at the rice seedlings swaying in the wind in the distance, and then looked at the group of officers and soldiers and farmers who were teased and worked overnight, and shouted "good calculation" in his heart.

used the land to divide the land to win over a large number of people, and then took advantage of the slack time to let them do whatever they wanted, as if it was a holy decree, and they would not oppose it at all.

"The people of Jinling and Zhenzhou have become Zhang Junlin's private servants...... When the time comes, I have to tell my father that I must recruit all these people to serve as soldiers and govern them well. ”

It's best to wait for the time of the war, and let this group of Diao people who obey Zhang Junlin be the first to rush forward.

Anyway, these people are the foundation of Zhang Junlin, and if they die, they will die.

Zhang Jun thought gloatingly about the fact that I didn't get what no one wanted.

Originally, because I was hungry, I planned to go to the city in front of me for dinner, but I didn't have the heart at this time.

He was full at the smell of the dung.

It's better to rush to Jiazhou as soon as possible, and let my father know what Jinling and Zhenzhou have become as soon as possible.

……

Seaside, saltworks.

Qi Neng swaggered on the beach of white flowers, looking at the naked prime of life with his upper body, bending over to shovel the freshly dried sea salt, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"It turns out that this sea salt has to be dug up and dried."

He also thought that he could just transport it away and use it.

In addition to drying, different qualities are screened out.

The only thing that was given to the Western Chu State was ordinary sea salt, and many of the refined salt that was filtered again was specially supplied to the royal family and nobles of Nanyue due to the extremely high manual cost.

"Po."

"The slave is here."

A guard with a round face, a long buttocks and a chin like ingots who was following Qi Neng, heard his name and hurriedly stepped forward.

"What does Your Highness command?"

"Write a letter to my father, and when I go back to negotiate, I have to add another 10,000 stones of refined salt."

The person in charge of the salt farm, who was following Luneng next to him, was so angry that he really wanted to drive this foreign guest out on the spot.

10,000 stones!

A million catties!

Does the Western Chu Kingdom eat salt as rice?

"Seventh Prince, I'm afraid you don't know, our annual output of refined salt is only 10,000 stones."

As soon as the person in charge of the salt farm finished speaking, he saw that Qi Neng raised his eyebrows and asked matter-of-factly.

"Don't you still have refined salt that you sell to other countries?"

Yes, yes!

But that's the money to keep the salt works going on.

"Maybe the Seventh Prince doesn't know that the salt we give to your country is all given at cost......"

"I know, so what's the point of giving some more?"

In the face of such an open-minded robbery, the person in charge of the salt farm was so angry that his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say a word of.

Because His Majesty said that if you want to see the salt field, let the other party see it, and you can't stop it, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding between the two countries because of this matter.

This salt farm belongs to the official family, not to him.

He really shouldn't have created a misunderstanding, which ruined his future, not to mention, and he might lose his life and be detained.

"The Seventh Prince of Mi will take a look, and the lower officials will go to check today's accounts."

The person in charge of the salt works could not afford to provoke him, so he could only hide.

Accounts?

Mi could hear these two keywords, and his eyes lit up.

Knowing the output of the salt farm, you know how much more money Zhang Chengqian can dig out.

He wanted to find an excuse to go with the person in charge of the salt works, but he had only been here on the first day...... Mi could feel the hostile gaze cast by the South Vietnamese salt workers around him, and he smiled slightly, reining in a little.

It's not that they're afraid that these salt workers will pose a threat to themselves.

There is a seventh-order middle-grade Ah Bao in the body, even if he meets an eighth-order Zhao Dan, he also has the strength to retreat with his whole body.

These ordinary salt workers, he naturally didn't pay attention to them.

It's just that if there is a dispute, there is one less salt worker, and the output will be reduced, and the salt sent to Xichu will be reduced.

He doesn't have to shoot himself in the foot, sometimes he chooses to back down in order to move forward better.

Just when Qi Neng turned the salt field around, he finally finished seeing the salt mountain of white light, and returned to hunger and exhaustion from excitement and shock.

When you're going to find an inn to rest.

Another palace guard sent by his father appeared in front of him and whispered a few words in his ear.

This secret guard was specially left in Jiazhou to investigate Zhang Chengqian's movements.

Although it is not as good as Ah Bao, it is also the strength of the peak of the sixth order, which is much stronger than the chief guard in Zhang Chengqian's palace, and he is the subordinate of his father.

"Material? Conscription? ”

Mi could hear the holy decree issued by Zhang Chengqian, and his first reaction was.

"Is Zhang Chengqian crazy?"

Whether it was out of temptation for Zhang Junlin or really planning to gather troops, the people of South Vietnam had not yet recovered from the last raid, and immediately began to recruit troops.

In addition to the ordinary people, the magnates were not happy with Zhang Chengqian's looting of their human property.

"Your Royal Highness the Seventh, I heard that it was because Zhang Junlin's decree on opening up the wasteland and dividing the country was too effective, which attracted the hearts of many accompanying magnates, plus there were mobs in Zhenzhou, so Zhang Junjun deliberately issued these two holy decrees, according to Zhang Jun's previous style of doing things, he should want to beat the magnates who followed him and suppress those who were disobedient to him."

Mi Neng used a knife to fork a piece of boiled chicken thigh, dipped it in salt and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then nodded in agreement.

"It makes sense, Zhang Chengqian attaches great importance to his throne, and is very jealous of the royal family who are more talented than him, even if Mo Qing, who was famous and opened up territory for South Vietnam, is his pillow person, he is still deceived, not to mention a son who is not careful, so it seems that it is easier for us to separate their father-son relationship."

As a very favored by Qi Duo, Qi Neng actually felt at the beginning that even if Zhang Chengqian did not love Zhang Junlin, at least there was a father-son relationship.

As soon as these two decrees came, he felt that this task would be better accomplished.

"Your Highness the Seventh, are we going back to Jiazhou City tomorrow?"

Po asked.

Since the relationship between father and son has long faded, if you want Zhang Chengqian to kill Zhang Junlin, you only need a condition that makes Zhang Chengqian tempted.

Your Highness's errand is considered complete.

Qi Neng forked another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
