The soldiers on the school field were chased by Lu Wei's arrows and screamed, embarrassed, and jumped forward with all their strength, in case they ran slower, Lord Lu's arrows would chase over.

If you're really going to be shot, you're going to have to be cold.

Zhang Yuqing couldn't help laughing, took a fan to cover the sun, caught a glimpse of a large open space not far away, and asked the accompanying guards uncertainly, "I remember the first time I came here, was there something in that place?" ”

The guard looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Yes, yes, it's the girls' place, the adults dismantled the red tent and blew the group of women away, and they are not allowed to come again." ”

Zhang Yuqing nodded knowingly.

Out of the barracks is a brothel, it's really not like words!

Tens of thousands of soldiers ran wildly on the school grounds, the earth shook, and the cries and complaints shook the sky.

It wasn't until the two sticks of incense that many people were about to foam at the mouth, and the people in the room came to report that they could have a meal, so Lu Wei stopped his horse and ordered the soldiers to disband on the spot and go to eat.

Fang Qin brought food to Lu Wei, just like ordinary soldiers, it was a multigrain steamed bun, a bowl of gruel that saw the figure of a person, and a plate of black pickles.

When the guards saw Fang Qin, they wanted to call Fang Qin to tell Lu Wei, but they were stopped by Zhang Yuqing.

"Wait." Zhang Yuqing said, across the crowd, she saw Lu Wei like an ordinary soldier, sitting cross-legged on the ground without any scruples, eating a big meal.

With such a rough meal, this once exquisite noble son of the capital can even eat it without changing his face.

It's really the environment that makes people.

When night fell and Lu Wei rode out of the barracks, he noticed a familiar carriage at the door. The guard who was driving the car stepped forward and saluted, saying that Madame was in the car.

Lu Wei hurriedly got off the horse, and when he was about to lift the curtain, he suddenly remembered that his body was sweaty and gray, wiped his face with a sweat towel, and flicked the soil on his body, and then entered the carriage.

Fang Qin rolled his eyes and simply didn't look over, out of sight was clear.

"Why are you here?" Lu Wei got into the carriage and asked.

Zhang Yuqing looked at him in surprise.

As soon as Lu Wei spoke, his voice was hoarse.

"I've been yelling at those bunnies all day." Lu Wei said.

Zhang Yuqing smiled secretly in her heart and said, "Don't be so loud and quiet." ”

Lu Wei shook his head, "The voice is so low that they can't hear it, or they can't pretend to hear it when they hear it, those veterans are very bad!" ”

"Over there in Liangzhou City or in the capital, can you allocate new money and food?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Lu Wei said: "Last time I went to Liangzhou City, I gave up my face and urged several times, and today I finally delivered a batch of food. ”

Although they are all old grains, they can't last too long, but the grain and grass on the top have been allocated, which is a good start.

"With grain and grass, the morale of the army will be stable, and it will be much easier to train." Lu Wei said, "When the group of soldiers saw the grain trucks coming in one after another, their spirits were obviously different. ”

Zhang Yuqing said: "Actually, you don't have to work so hard. ”

The Baochuan army can be scattered and disorderly to this point, it is by no means cultivated overnight, and the previous capital divisions have come over like this, so why should Lu Wei bother with it?

Just like Shen Shoushan said, Daxia and the Hu people have a treaty, and they pay tribute to the Hu people every year, and the Hu people will not easily tear up the treaty and attack Daxia, at most, a small group of cavalry will come in and plunder the people, and it will not be a climate.

It was the people at the bottom who looted, and it was the people at the bottom who died, so what did it matter to these high-ranking officials in the military camp?

Look at the city of Liangzhou, the group of people in Shen Shoushan live a luxurious life that is not inferior to the capital, and they will enjoy it!

Lu Wei did not speak.

Zhang Yuqing said again: "At the beginning, the emperor named you the capital of Baochuan, and it looked like a four-grade master, with infinite scenery, but in fact, we all know in our hearts that it is just that the crown prince Ying Zhang Yuying once made a marriage with you and sent you to this place that everyone avoids." Now that the prince has married the daughter of Feng Ming, his anger should also be gone. After a year and a half, it will not be difficult for you to ask the county lord of Duanshu to intercede, and it will not be difficult to transfer you back to the capital. ”

Lu Wei was silent for a long time and said, "I don't want to go back to the capital, if I go back, I will be in a cage." Instead of going into a cage, it is better to stay here and do my best to make this place better and more solid, the people are well fed and clothed, the soldiers are disciplined, and they are good soldiers who can win battles, and there will be no more tragedy of Hu people slaughtering villages. ”

Lu Wei looked at Zhang Yuqing and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to go back to the capital?" ”

Zhang Yuqing shook her head stiffly.

Lu Wei couldn't guess Zhang Yuqing's thoughts, but he could feel that Zhang Yuqing was in a very bad mood at this time, so he didn't speak again, but when he thought that Zhang Yuqing had the idea of leaving him and returning to the capital, Lu Wei seemed to have a fire in his heart, which made him very uncomfortable.

He felt that Zhang Yuqing was a liar.

What he said before was so good, and he was willing to come here with him and call him "husband" in front of outsiders, but now that he saw the desert and cruelty here, he retreated again.

Zhang Yuqing's mind was spinning rapidly, some words wanted to blurt out, but she swallowed them again, and her thoughts clashed fiercely back and forth, but she never made a decision.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped at the gate of the Dusi Mansion that Lu Wei lifted the curtain and was about to get up, when Zhang Yuqing grabbed his sleeve violently.

Lu Wei turned around and looked at her in surprise.

"You're short of money, aren't you?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Lu Wei smiled helplessly, "Do you still need to ask?" ”

The whole Great Xia couldn't find a second military general who was poorer than him.

Zhang Yuqing stared at Lu Wei, "What if I can get you money?" ”

Lu Wei chuckled, a little surprised by Zhang Yuqing's words, "You ......"

Zhang Yuqing interrupted Lu Wei's words, her expression was serious and solemn, "I'm not joking with you." ”

On the second day, Lu Wei and Zhang Yuqing went to Dahu together, and instructed Fang Qin to continue to go to the military camp to train the soldiers, and not to let the group of soldiers slack off.

This time, everyone knew the way well, and when they arrived at the Great Lake, it was only noon.

Zhang Yuqing brought a cauldron and instructed the guards to take mud by the lake to build a stove, chop wood to make a fire, and scoop water from the lake to boil.

After a short time, the water vapor in the pot is steamed, and when it is evaporated, only the white flowers that stick to the wall of the pot are left.

Lu Wei stretched out his hand and dipped it a little, and put it in his mouth, unable to hide his surprise, "Sure enough, it's salt!" ”

"It's just coarse salt." Zhang Yuqing picked up a branch and plucked some yellowed coarse salt.

The guards who burned the fire also tasted it, nodded and said, "It's not as good as the salt sold in the capital, it's too astringent!" ”

The salt used in their cooking is a large piece of jaundice, which needs to be chiseled when used, although the taste is a little worse, but this powdered salt is already very fine for them!

Zhang Yuqing said: "Now it is coarse salt, and it tastes not only salty, but also astringent. After a few more processing, you can get pure fine salt that is as white as snow. ”

Modern people have been accustomed to refined salt, most people do not know, in the past subject to the process, the common people not only have difficulty eating salt, the quality of salt is also very low, large crystals mixed with other impurities.

It is hard for everyone to imagine what the fine salt that is as white as snow looks like.

Zhang Yuqing pointed to this large lake with no edge in sight, and said to Lu Wei: "This is what I said, the money I can get for you." ”

She approached Lu Wei and smiled slightly, her voice soft with bewilderment, "It depends on whether Lord Lu has the courage to earn this money." ”

Salt and iron are all official camps, and whoever dares to sell salt privately will be imprisoned at least and killed at worst.

But salt is indispensable to every household, and the imperial court sells it expensive in order to make profits. The salt dealers' court has repeatedly killed them, because the profits from selling salt are so great that they make the salt dealers take risks and make a living with their heads and trouser belts.

The profits of selling salt are so large, let alone salt production.

Lu Wei looked at the blue salt lake, and his breathing was subconsciously short.

If Zhang Yuqing really has a way to make refined salt, such a large salt field is enough to feed tens of thousands of military horses in Baochuan!

Lu Wei's ears were a little hot, he tried his best to forget the feeling of his ears, recalling Zhang Yuqing's performance in front of him yesterday, obviously hesitant and undecided, until the carriage arrived home, and after several temptations, he told him about the salt lake.

Either Zhang Yuqing doesn't trust him, or Zhang Yuqing asks for something, I don't know if he will agree, or both.

Zhang Yuqing has already said it, indicating that she still chooses to believe him.

Lu Wei pulled Zhang Yuqing to the lake.

It is probably because of the saltwater lake, there is only a layer of hard white flower salt on the edge of the lake, and there are no trees in the bare area, and there is no end to it.

"You help me earn money, do you want something?" Lu Wei asked.

Zhang Yuqing smiled and nodded, wearing a red dress, the skirt fluttered in the wind, floating a charming arc, she stood by the lake with her hands behind her back, she was bright and confident under the blue sky and white clouds, and she was incomprehensible in beauty.

Lu Wei said: "Then what are you asking for?" ”

"I have two wishes." Zhang Yuqing looked at the salt lake, pinned a strand of hair blown up by the wind behind her ear, her dark eyes were dazed and fragile, and she said softly: "My first wish is the same as yours, I hope that the border will be stable, and there will be no more tragedy of the Luerwei Change." ”

She hopes that there will never be another person in this world who has lost her father and mother due to foreign invasion like her.

"And the second?" Lu Wei stared at her closely.

Zhang Yuqing smiled back, raised her chin slightly, and returned to the intelligent and calm woman with confidence and a little arrogance, as if the sadness and fragility at that moment was just Lu Wei's illusion.

"Second, I want me to be your partner in the future." Zhang Yuqing said.

Lu Wei raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by a partner?" ”

"The relationship between me and you is equal, I earn money to support the family, you are responsible for taking care of this family as solid, you must treat me like a brother and sister to your colleagues, and respect me." Zhang Yuqing continued.

Lu Wei understood, "Just like the commercial houses in the capital, the owner will hire a big shopkeeper." ”

"You can say the same thing." Zhang Yuqing nodded and curled the corners of her lips, "Having said so much, I haven't returned to the original question." ”

Zhang Yuqing took a step forward, with a provocation in her eyes, "Lord Lu, do you dare to sell this private salt or not?" ”

Lu Wei: My wife is responsible for making money to support the family, and I am responsible for being beautiful like a flower.
