When Feng Ning arrived, Mei Berry was both satisfied and surprised when he looked at the snowflake-like salt mountains on the shore.

How much salt has been delayed by the war?

Plum berries are still like this, not to mention Qi Jiabao, who came to Zhao for the first time.

Looking at the continuous salt mountains on the shore here, the snow white as if it was about to shake the blinding eyes made Qi Jiabao couldn't help but tremble.

"So much salt?!"

"Hahaha, spectacular, right? Our salt pan is a first-class powerhouse! ”

When he got off the boat, if he hadn't been called back to his senses by Yongyuan, Qi Jiabao's steps would have gone directly to Yanshan.

"And it's all snowflake salt......"

Qi Jiabao was a little stunned, and seeing that Mei Berry and the others were even more ordinary, he had the courage to step forward and ask with some uncertainty: "Dare to ask Junjun, is the snowflake salt of the lonely family transported from here?" ”

"Yo~ You still pay attention to the affairs of the merchants?"

Mei Berry didn't expect Qi Jiabao to think of the salt of the Gulan family for the first time.

"When my mother is looking at the account book at home, sometimes she can't figure it out, so she will ask me to help her calculate the account. The Qi family's business and the changes in the market, Xia Guan knows a little bit. ”

"Well, the lonely snowflake salt is here."

Mei Berry told the truth, looked at Qi Jiabao's pensive expression, and asked, "What, what did you think of?" ”

"With so much snowflake salt, is the cost low?"

"What do you want to do?"

"No, it's just that the lower officials feel that there are so many snowflake salts, and the price of snowflake salts on the market should be appropriately lowered, so that more people can eat snowflake salt."

When Mei Berry heard this, he asked curiously and asked a few more words: "If the price is reduced, the profit will be reduced, and the merchants may not be willing." ”

"Small profits, quick turnover. It should be good for the merchants to make the same amount of money and get more benefits for the people......"

As Qi Jiabao spoke, he met Mei Berry's encouraging eyes, so he talked to Mei Berry about some other things.

Although it is also related to businessmen, perhaps because his father is an official, some of the views mentioned by Qi Jiabao are different from those of businessmen who are completely in business.

"I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age?"

Qi Jiabao is very modest about this, only saying that he is influenced by his mother, who is in business, and his father's teachings are well-organized.

Mei Berry nodded and praised again: "Lord Qi is a blessing~"

After Mei Berry sighed, she turned to a cold voice and asked, "By the way, how many women does your father have?" ”

"It's just my mother."

This answer is very strange to plum berries.

"Your dad likes pimping so much, why does it take his turn to love the god of war?"

"Ah, what?" Qi Jiabao didn't understand the word pure love god of war behind Mei Berry, but Qi Jiabao heard the complaint in front of Mei Berry clearly.

Qi Jiabao laughed awkwardly twice, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, according to Qi Jiabao's point of view, his father is quite lustful, and there are times when he can't walk when he sees a beauty outside.

However, he never said that he wanted to take a concubine and find a room.

It's still his mother's skills that are superior.

Besides, seeing that Mei Berry still remembered what his father had done before, Qi Jiabao didn't want to continue to say something to his father and leave a strange impression on Mei Berry.

···

After getting off the boat, the means of transportation for Mei Berry and the others became horses.

When the group rode to the Xianyao border, Mei Berry received the news that Gu Hou had already started fighting half a month ago.

The reason why the troops on the border side were stationed on the border side was not only to defend against the enemy's sneak attack, but also to help Gu Hou and them keep an eye on Yunzhou and Hanzhou.

"In other words, Hanzhou and Yunzhou are now confronting us, and they didn't do it rashly, right?"

Mei Berry was in the camp tent of Xianyao's army and the general who led the troops to understand the current situation.

"Hui Junjun, yes."

The soldiers on the Xianyao border are not vegetarians, and it may be difficult for one to fight on both sides, but the other can still watch the two.

After confirming that the Xianyao border was stable, Mei Berry and the others stayed at the border for two days, then put on makeup, and set off to Yanzhou with the team that transported grain and grass to the Gu army in Yanzhou.

It's just that when Mei Berry saw that the grain and grass escorted was actually coming by Gu Pingyu in person, Mei Berry's heart sank coldly.

Mixed in the convoy escorting grain and grass, Mei Berry and his party did not show anything during the day, and when they were stationed in the camp at night, Mei Berry took people to see Gu Pingyu.

Gu Pingyu knew that Meiberry was disguised to follow their team, and Gu Pingyu did not take the initiative to look for Meiberry, for fear of revealing Meiberry's whereabouts.

Now that Mei Berry is coming, Gu Pingyu's cautious reception has attracted Mei Berry's attention.

"Is there anything wrong with this battle in Yanzhou, I need you to come and escort the grain and grass in person."

When Mei Berry came up with this, Gu Pingyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just ......"

Seeing that Gu Pingyu couldn't speak, Mei Berry looked anxious, and couldn't help asking, "Did you encounter a tricky opponent?" ”

"Nope."

"But the opponent's city is too high and the defense is too good, and it is in a bitter battle?"

"It's not."

"Then what are you doing so much? I actually asked you to come in person to escort the grain, and I saw a huge amount of grain and grass transportation during the day today, isn't there something wrong with the grain and grass ahead? ”

Plum berry this wave is really to the point.

"After King Wei went to Yunzhou, Yanzhou, especially many wealthy families in the western part of Yanzhou, left with King Wei."

"Hmm~"

Mei Berry listened to Gu Pingyu talk about Dongfang Tai's move, in Mei Berry's opinion, Dongfang Tai's evacuation of Yanzhou was actually a matter of time before Yanzhou fell into the hands of Gu Hou.

"What's wrong with that?"

"When they left, they actually encouraged many people to leave, and some left together, but most of them stayed."

Gu Pingyu didn't know how to comment on Dongfang Tai's desire to take away even ordinary people.

Those who remained he collected many adult men from the soldiers, and then collected a lot of grain from the people.

Later, the soldiers who defended the city were left, and the food and military pay were insufficient, and when we captured Yanxi, many cities surrendered without even resisting. ”

"Those who descend will not be killed." Mei Berry also reacted to a question at this time, "So, those people don't have anything to eat, right?" ”

"The soldiers have nothing to eat, and neither do the people." When Gu Pingyu said this, his face rarely showed sympathy, horror, anger and other complicated expressions that he didn't know how to describe.

"Now we don't dare to move forward."

For every inch of this advance, countless people poured towards them, all of them were life-saving acts, and if they refused, these people had no choice but to die.

In some places, there was even a phenomenon of cannibalism, and Gu Pingyu almost vomited when he and Mei You entered the siege at that time.

In the past two years, at least Yanzhou has been able to enjoy smooth weather, and they can't believe that such a situation will happen.

"Are these people stupid? Why...... Can't you run if you don't have food? It's all to the point of cannibalism......"

Berry's eyes widened in disbelief.

Gu Pingyu also wanted to know about this question, but the people who lived outside the city had an accident and ran away early in the morning.

But in the city, the soldiers have already trapped the people in the city, and if they hadn't come, I'm afraid that something big would happen in the city sooner or later......

The next chapter is expected to change the perspective and write about the perspective of some poor people.

It is estimated that many people will die in this war.
