Dayao, a small town that is neither in the main transportation arteries, nor has any special products, and has a population of only tens of thousands, is not at all inconspicuous.

"The salt team is coming! the salt team is coming!" as a convoy entered the city, the city suddenly boiled.

Many people were running somewhere in the city with their bags, and when they got there, they found that there were already dense crowds of people standing.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood in the crowd and felt the crowding behind him, turned his head to look behind him, and then shouted loudly: "What kind of crowding? This time the convoy is so big, it would be good if one of the ten people could buy salt, and the one in the back might as well go out of the city to pick up stones and lick them, if it's too late, there will be no stones!"

The so-called picking stones and licking refers to a kind of marble outside the city, which is bitter and salty, and slightly poisonous. But these days there is a shortage of salt, and many people have no salt but to go outside the city to pick up this kind of stone and come back, lick it and eat a bite of meat.

If any eight thousand were here, they would know that this is a carbonate rock.

With the young man's words, he suddenly scolded angrily, and it didn't take long for a chaotic battle to break out in the crowd, and the seventy or eighty-year-old man jumped two or three meters high and kicked out with a strong wind...... The aunt on the street smashed a pair of fists into the eyes of many people, and even a ten-year-old child drilled around in the crowd from time to time.

Fighting is the nature of the ancient people, even the seemingly simple inhabitants of this small city.

Therefore, a little commonplace little thing to fight is already commonplace.

The basic process is generally: "What are you looking at?" "What are you looking at?" and "I'm going to smoke you!"

And then there's a punch and kick. It's just that a large-scale chaos like today's has only been the case lately every time the salt team arrives.

Because of the lack of salt, many people feel that they have become less and less energetic recently.

When the militia regiment, which had just been formed, put an end to the chaotic battle in the field, many people were still angry with their injuries, but it didn't take long for them to laugh again.

It didn't take long for the militia to transport several truckloads of salt bags to the open lot in front of the people, and under the auspices of the city order, they began to sell at a low price, and each person could only buy three taels.

"The price is so low! It's a pity that it's too little, otherwise I would buy more and keep it at home, and there will always be no salt to save it." Someone in front whispered.

"Dream on! Thanks to the early day, I wouldn't have been able to buy these. ”

And the people in the rear were immediately disappointed when they saw the salt in front of them, as the kid said just now, it would be good if one out of ten people could buy it.

"When will there be salt again?"

"yes! I don't have the strength to eat salt!"

"Everyone, now that Izumo Country, Chen Kingdom, and Great Xia have cut off our salt road, it has been two and a half months since a bag of salt has been brought in!"

"Kill them!

"Kill them!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The crowd below suddenly shouted, and the originally simple people were suddenly full of murderous energy, and their faces also showed a fierce look.

If people from other countries see this scene, they can understand why the ancient people have only such a small population, but they can compete with other countries that are far superior to them in terms of population, financial resources, materials, and equipment, and even win in battle.

Even after living in this plain for seventy years, these people are still full of that wildness in their bones.

Even if you don't grow up fighting fierce beasts in the mountains, your blood is still full of the desire to fight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I no longer need to carry salt from the outside world. I have my own saltworks. The city commander spoke.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below was stunned.

Da Yao's salt is completely transported from several other countries, this is something that even children know, when did Da Yao have his own salt farm?

"First of all, I would like to thank Lord Ren, the head of Zizhu Academy. It was he who figured out how to make salt from the brine in the mountains. ”

Everyone pondered below, where is this Zizhu Academy? Who is Lord Ren? I don't remember that there is such a person in the court.

It took a long time for someone to remember, could this be the little white face that His Majesty was looking for?

"Which of Your Majesty's little white faces is Lord Ren you are talking about?" someone asked.

"Rude!" Cheng Ling's face sank at first, and then pondered, although this was a bit disrespectful to His Majesty, it didn't seem to be anything wrong. He knows more than the people know, and he has heard about some things in the previous war with Great Xia in the north, but he still sees him as a little white face in his heart, not to mention others.

"The little white face is because the face is white!" added the city order.

"I didn't say anything else!" the voice in the crowd made everyone laugh, and it was better not to say this sentence than to say it.

"Anyway, thanks to Lord Ren, we have salt to eat. It's just that this salt has only been made for a few months, and it has to be scattered and transported to various cities, so it is a little less now. But in the future, there will be more and more salt, and everyone will have it, so you don't have to worry. ”

Although the people below were hippie and smiling, the tension caused by the lack of salt was relieved a lot, and the impression of Ren Baqian in their hearts was also very good.

Ren Baqian's reputation among the people has increased a lot in between.

......

Ren Baqian and the empress stayed in the land of Tianjing for more than three months, and many things happened in the outside world.

There are three things that have caught everyone's attention, the first of which is the war between the Tohoku Prefecture and Izumo Province.

Before the empress entered the land of heavenly views, Zhu Wuzhen dispersed those city lords' coalition forces into Da Yao, destroying the village and destroying the village, which was exactly the same tactic as in Great Xia at that time.

In the early days, some of the border villages were destroyed, but those villagers also taught the city lord coalition of Yunguo how to behave.

The number of troops was less than two thousand, and they were even deflated in front of the stockade of more than 100 people, which made those city lords' coalition troops lose face.

The reason for this is that the unsuspecting village has not had time to move at all, so there is no way to retreat, even if the last person fights to the death.

However, as long as the casualties of the young master soldiers of the city lord's coalition army exceed 15 percent, they will retreat, and if the casualties exceed 20 percent, they will collapse.

In addition, most of the adult ancient clans have the strength of human wheel warriors.

In this way, in the early stage, the advance of the cloud country is extremely slow.

By the time they had learned the hard way and formed a large army, the newly trained new army arrived......

The results can be imagined......

When Ren Baqian and the others returned to Tanijo, Azusa Donglai had already conquered the four cities of Izumo Province.

The second thing is that Chen Guo has long known that he sent troops to declare war.

The battle in the southeast is not fierce, and neither Zhuo Zhuo nor Chen Guo seems to have much interest in fighting, and the two sides are staring at each other on the border every day, and occasionally there is a small fight, which is more like an exhibition game than a war.

Da Yao is very happy about this, but he doesn't know how long this situation can last.

The third and most important thing is that the routes of Bactria , Izumo and Chen to Dayao have all been cut off. Since Chen sent troops, not a single grain of salt has been transported into Dayao, which has made many people nervous.

Fortunately, recently, the imperial court released a batch of salt, which is enough for 100,000 stones, that is, 1.2 million catties, enough for more than 3 million people to eat for a month. If the restrictions are restricted, it can barely reach 7 million people.

And the imperial court is still vigorously promoting Ren Baqian's research on how to make salt in the mountains.

The trust of the people of Dayao in the imperial court is still very high, just like what happened in that small city, which is played out everywhere, which also eases the tension in various places.

However, only a few people know that this salt is accumulated for half a year.

Although the salt production rate in these three months has increased significantly compared to the previous three months as salt wells have been excavated and salt farms have been expanded, the salt output per month is only 30,000 stones, barely enough for 1 million people.

Next, the most important thing is to rely on Zidong to grab it in Yunguo.

Therefore, the empress's first order was to give Zidong to occupy the cloud country as quickly as possible, and to send back the salt found in each city to Da Yao.

With the empress's order, Zi Donglai completely let go of his hands and feet, and the offensive was in full swing.

After another half a month, Ren Baqian and the empress finally returned to Lancheng.
