During the Shang Dynasty, most of the people were illiterate and had a very low level of education, not to mention the lowly slaves who constituted the bottom of society.

At that time, books were rare and precious, and most of them were tortoise shells and animal bones that were collected in government offices to record history.

Paradoxically, books were not only scarce and precious, but the martial Shang people did not regard reading as an important thing.

If books are not popularized enough, the most important means and ways of cultural dissemination will be lost, and ordinary people will find it difficult to reach and never think of reading.

The text written on tortoise shells and animal bones is an abstract and difficult to understand oracle bone inscription, and even if it is carved on bamboo slips, it is very troublesome to transport.

Therefore, whether there is a collection of books in the family is an important condition for judging whether a family is an aristocracy.

Basically, the more books you have in your home, the higher your official position and the more powerful you are in the court.

The so-called collection of thousands of books, the so-called sweat cow full of buildings, and the so-called scholarly family are all very rare existences.

After all, not everyone can be like the "Lang Huan" cave in Kunlun Mountain, which has all kinds of books that have been collected since the birth of heaven and earth.

Merchants are martial, and the wind of martial arts penetrates into the marrow of merchants, from doctors to ordinary people, no one worships those fierce generals who kill enemies on the battlefield, and the dream of countless children is also to become a general.

Therefore, like Jiang Ziya, he takes reading as a lifelong hobby and tries his best to achieve it, and his wife is very understanding and does not stop it.

Therefore, people who really love to read and can read books are extremely rare, and can even be called rare.

And Huang Feihu is such a young man who was born in the Jiangzhong Sect, was born to join the army, and he still loves reading very much, and he has enough ability to read a lot of books.

Huang Feihu was in his early twenties and was not well-known among the younger generation of the dynasty.

Nowadays, the talented Dashang Dynasty has the Tibetan official Yongtan, and the son of Wu Zhengfei is evil.

Yongtan is brilliantly written, and countless government decrees and articles in the court are from Yongtan's knife pen, and in less than a year, he has achieved the noble official position of serving the king of Shang such as the Tibetan official, and the future is limitless, and he is even regarded as the successor of the Abishan that Emperor Xin relies on incomparably.

Fei Lian's son is extremely talented, born with infinite strength, he is almost born with a physique in the realm of refining, burly and majestic, after seeing the young son of heaven, he was praised by Di Xin, and bluntly said that after breaking through to the earth fairyland, he can choose a magic weapon to use in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Evil Lai, who reached the peak of the Mahayana realm at a young age, has killed countless enemies under the Taishi Wen Zhong's account, and has already served as the commander of 10,000 people in the army. This is still the result of Taishi Wen Zhong's intention to let him hone for a few more years, otherwise he can already become the first powerful general of Dashang who is less than thirty years old with the military exploits accumulated by evil.

There are many outstanding figures among the younger generation led by Yongtan and Evil Lai, not to mention that their wise and martial emperor is already an immortal figure in the realm of earth immortals before he is twenty years old.

In contrast, Huang Feihu, the eldest son of the Tiger General Huang Gon, is very unknown in the court, as if he is stained with his father's light, so that when people mention evil, they can talk about Yongtan and these young people by chance, and most of them are just passing by.

I like to read, but I can't write it, there are no gorgeous chapters, and profound words come out of the Yellow Mansion.

is in the Jiangmen, and the martial arts can't be done, he has not joined the army in his twenties, and he has no military achievements, and the martial arts practice does not seem to be surprising.

Neither is it a profligate skeleton that makes the people of the entire court song smell it, nor is it a beautiful son who is as beautiful as jade or has brilliant military achievements.

Even in his twenties, he didn't marry or have children, and it wasn't until a few days ago that his sister Huang Xinyao married into Zhuhuang Palace and became Di Xin's concubine, and people suddenly realized that this young man had become an uncle of the country.

But after that, he seemed to be the same obscure young man, studying silently in the Yellow Mansion, and living silently in the shade of his father, Huang Gon, a big tree with swaying branches and leaves.

Very few people know that he has stayed away from Chaoge, and went to the Dongbohou Jiang Huan Chu army alone, starting from a lowest-level pawn, and began to fight the Dongyi people on the East China Sea, which was gradually valued by the dynasty because of the rich salt deposits.

Unlike the three borders of Xidi, Nanman, and Beimang, which were often harassed by enemies, the eastern part of the dynasty actually occupied the coast, including the East China Sea.

It's just that there are many hidden islands on the east coast that are difficult to find, and the enemies of the so-called "Dongyi" are actually the aborigines of the islands. Because of their excellent shipbuilding technology and one-and-go play, they deeply overwhelmed the big businessmen.

There are often only a few boatloads of men and horses, but it is very difficult to guard against the fact that they can suddenly appear in a corner of the weakest part of the border defenders, kill and loot like locusts crossing the border, and then board and leave at another pre-arranged location.

If it weren't for the old and respectful Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu sitting here, perhaps the situation of the people by the sea would be even more miserable.

On the one hand, the officials in the inner court of the Great Shang Dynasty focused more on the other three frontiers, such as the abundant pastures in the north, the vast territory that can be galloped in the west, and the many cherished medicinal materials and spirit birds and beasts in the south.

What is there in the East? Apart from the vast expanse of the sea and the common people who eat from the sea, the officials in the central government of the government have found no factor worthy of their more energy.

Although the fish and shrimp in the sea are delicious, there is no way to transport them, so there is no way to convert them into economic benefits.

Therefore, the east coast has always been in a somewhat embarrassing situation, and even the hereditary Dongbohou lineage mostly pays more attention to inland economic exchanges and public security and people's livelihood.

It wasn't until Di Xin came to power that he sent many people who were proficient in geography and asked them to go to all parts of the country to explore various mineral veins, which found several salt mines with great value on the East China Sea, and could even improve the dilemma of the general lack of salt in the big merchants as a whole!

People take food as the sky, if which of the five flavors of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty is the most indispensable, then there is no doubt that it is salty.

As long as the body is not replenished with salt for a day or two, the human body will be weak in the limbs, and once you can't eat salt for a long time, the body will have all kinds of problems.

In the Great Shang, fine white salt was almost priceless in the market, and only high-ranking officials and nobles could guarantee the supply of refined salt, and the common people could only eat coarse salt and salt, and the low-level slaves could only obtain the necessary salt for their bodies through some salt stones.

Rewarding refined salt is one of the important ways for a king to express his meritorious service to a courtier.

The importance of salt politics is undoubtedly highlighted in a dynasty.

Since the discovery of salt mines on the shores of the East China Sea, Dongyi, which "buzzed" in front of the giant of the Great Shang from time to time like a few flies, became the biggest obstacle for the imperial court to remove on the road to implementing a new salt policy.

Jiang Huanchu, known as the "beautiful bearded prince", once again jumped into people's field of vision, and for a while, many high-level officials began to curry favor with this father-in-law, hoping to send their children to his Zhendong army to be gilded with a layer of gold and go home with some military exploits.

If you can seek a good thing in today's imperial court, which pays more attention to military merits, wouldn't it be able to glorify the lintel?

In the eyes of insiders in the DPRK and China, the tiger general Huang Gon is worthy of being a scheming and scheming person, and he sent his son to Dongbohou three months early.

But what these people don't know is that when Huang Feihu came to Dongbohou, he changed his name and surname, starting from a pawn.

What these people don't know is that coming to Zhendongjun was Huang Feihu's own idea to explain to his father four months ago.

To be precise, only the father and son knew about it.

The first thing Huang Feihu, who had been practicing in retreat for two years, did after leaving the customs was to ask his father for a big business map.

And three days after Huang Feihu locked himself in his room, he described him as haggard, but his eyes were very bright, and he said to his father in a hoarse voice: "I want to go to Zhendong Army." ”

Huang Gon, the old military marshal who was drinking tea, blew the clear tea in the cup, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good. ”

So there was one less obscure general Huang Feihu in Chaoge City, and there was one more incognito pawn Huang Yi under the beautiful bearded prince Jiang Huan Chu Zhendongjun.

Huang Feihu, who seems to be a weak scholar and has indeed read a lot of books, traveled thousands of miles to the Bohai Sea, and only carried an anonymous bamboo slip in his hand.

Joined the Haisha Battalion of the Zhendong Army.

Haisha Camp was built on the shore of the Bohai Sea and was one of the closest battalions to the coastline in the Zhendong Army.

It was a stormy night, and there were no stars or moons in the sky, and it was dark and dark that I couldn't see three feet away.

The waves of the Bohai Sea were turbulent, and waves crashed on the cliff wall, making a loud rumbling sound.

Aside from the hard training during the day and the occasional skirmishes, Huang Feihu, who had been accustomed to reading the nameless bamboo slip by moonlight every night, could not sleep tonight, perhaps because of the deafening snoring of the nearly twenty colleagues in the tent, or perhaps because of the crackling sound of the heavy rain that kept pounding on the camp tent made of cowhide.

He sat cross-legged, quietly recalling the contents of the nameless bamboo slip, his expression calm and calm, as if unaffected by the cacophony of snoring mixed with the sound of wind and rain.

If a cultivator with profound cultivation uses a spell to take a closer look, he will find that his lowered eyebrows and eyes are shining with brilliant five-colored divine light.

At this moment, a subtle voice that should never have appeared at this time suddenly appeared in his sensitive hearing!

Huang Feihu's eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly widened, and the five-colored divine light suddenly converged, and he let out a sharp and piercing long roar from his back.

"Enemy attack!"
