As the so-called blessings and misfortunes rely on each other, Li Bingzhi and Yin Zhongda were squeezed out of the imperial court, which is actually a good thing for Li Jing.

Although Li Bingzhi is nearly seventy years old, his body is still tough, and he has some momentum of "Lao Ji is in wait and has ambitions for thousands of miles". He saw that Li Jing was a little uncomfortable when he took care of the government affairs of the territory, and there were many generals around him, and there was no one who could help, so he personally went out to take over these government affairs from Li Jing. Although Li Jing didn't want his father to work, he couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so he sent some more people to serve and follow. At that time, Li Bingzhi held such a noble position as a doctor in the court, but in the officialdom for decades, he had seen so much that he handled government affairs in an orderly manner.

Yin Zhongda left Chaoge this time, but almost the entire "Lianfeng" was emptied, and he brought as many as 3,000 skilled craftsmen. After settling down in Chentangguan, watching his old friend Li Bingzhi show his strength in good spirits, he was not to be outdone, and after some intensive preparations, he re-operated the "Lianfeng". Li Jing led the territory within a radius of 400 miles, and it was far from enough to rely on the more than 30,000 men and horses he brought with him and some of the original local garrisons, and in order to gain a firm foothold in this time, it was imperative to reorganize and expand the army. Since it is necessary to expand the army, it is natural to need a large number of ordnance. The so-called "fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", Li Jing has no reason to seek the near and far, and the reason why this large amount of business is cheap to outsiders, not to mention that the essence of the armor made by the "Lianfeng" is famous all over the world.

However, the amount of money needed to purchase ordnance was never a small amount, and the current tax revenue of the current treasury of Chentangguan alone was definitely not enough to cover it. On the premise of not wanting to squeeze the people like boiling oil. The financial problem really made Li Jing have a lot of brains. Fortunately, he finally thought of a solution soon after, and in the boundless sea that was close at hand, Li Jing found one that was almost inexhaustible. An inexhaustible treasure - salt.

Today's big merchants do not have a monopoly on salt, and people still use inefficient salt cooking methods to make salt. Li Jing moved the method of drying salt in his previous life, and after several experiments, he began to open up salt pans by the sea to produce an extremely large amount of high-quality salt.

After the operation of Yin Zhongda, a veteran of the shopping mall, the high-quality and low-cost salt produced in Li Jing's territory has become a sought-after commodity for all parties vying to buy, exchanging an endless source of wealth for Li Jing. With the support of this wealth. Li Jing's territory is naturally expanding in a higher direction day by day.

On this day, Zheng Lun, who was stationed in Wen'an County, suddenly turned back to Chentangguan to see Li Jing, and he was accompanied by a middle-aged scribe in a green shirt.

The meeting and gift are over. Zheng Lun pointed to the middle-aged scribe and said, "Brother, this is a friend that the younger brother met when he was studying art in the mountains, his surname is Ao Mingguang, and he is the head of the Heavenly Court Division, the head of the Yunbu Rain Zhengshen, and the head of the East China Sea Clan. He had important matters to discuss with his brother. I only suffered from the inconvenience of not meeting him, and later heard that the younger brother was a general under the elder brother, so I found the younger brother and asked the younger brother to introduce him on his behalf. ”

"Ao Guang?" Li Jing was stunned when he heard this.

That Ao Guang took a step forward with a smile and arched his hand: "Ao Guang has seen Daoyou!"

When Li Jing heard that the person in front of him was actually the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled -- this Ao Guang should have been friends with Li Jing in the original trajectory, but why did he have a relationship with Zheng Lun now? Then he got acquainted with two of his apprentices.

"Don't dare, it turned out that Long Jun was coming, and Li Jing was far away. Beg for forgiveness. Li Jing's thoughts flashed in his heart, but his face did not show up at all, and when he saw Ao Guang saluting, he hurriedly took a step forward to return the courtesy.

After the greetings were over, Li Jing invited Ao Guang to the living room for tea. After a few words of gossip, Li Jing asked about Ao Guang's intention.

Ao Guang hugged his fists and said, "Li Daoyou." Ao Guang really has something to ask for here. ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "Long Jun has something to say, if Li Jing can do it." I will not dare to refuse. ”

"This matter should be easy for Taoist friends. Ao Guang said, "I heard that Ling Yue Yin Gong opened an armory workshop called 'Lian Feng' in Chentang Pass, and the weapons produced are very sophisticated. My East China Sea Dragon Palace has recently recruited a lot of generals, and there is a lack of weapons to use, so I want to order a batch in the 'Lian Feng', I don't know if you may agree? Daoyou don't have to worry about the honorarium, no matter how much, as long as Daoyou offers a price, Ao Guang can deliver it in full. ”

Li Jing was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Long Jun is taking care of Jiayue's business, why do you say that you are asking for each other? Li Jing just has one thing that is not clear, I have heard that the sea is rich and far more than 6 places, and Long Jun is the lord of the sea, how can he lack weapons to use?"

Ao Guang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Daoist friends are misled by the rumors in the world. My aquarium lives in the sea, and there is indeed no shortage of jewels and treasures, but it is impossible to smelt metal and forge weapons in the water, and ready-made metal weapons will quickly rust and become useless in the water. So for my aquarium, metal weapons have always seemed to be a scarce thing. Ao Guang is here, but not only for this business, but also to ask Daoyou if he is interested in trading this weapon with my water tribe for a long time?"

Li Jing's eyes lit up, what he had was only a corner of the land, and the ordnance needed to expand the army had a limit after all. Once demand is saturated, the availability of the weapons produced by the "Lianfeng" will be a problem. The control of the arms trade by the big merchants is extremely strict, and if the "Lian Feng" sells weapons, I am afraid that it will soon be seized by people with good intentions and make a big fuss. Now Ao Guang's mention is solving this problem - although Dashang is the lord of the world, he can't control the head of the overseas dragon monarch.

After figuring out these joints for a moment, Li Jing immediately made a decision, and said angrily: "Long Jun, don't worry, Li Jing can make the decision to agree to this matter." ”

Seeing that Li Jing had agreed happily, Ao Guang's face showed joy, and he immediately discussed some more specific content with Li Jing.

In the end, Li Jing said: "Later, I will ask Long Jun to send someone over to discuss the details with the person in charge of the 'Lian Feng'. ”

"Okay," Ao Guang nodded, "in three days, I will send my most powerful Prime Minister Turtle here." At that time, I will ask Taoist friends to arrange it on my behalf. ”

When the deal was negotiated, both were overjoyed. After saying a few more words, Ao Guang's face suddenly straightened, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist, I heard Zheng Lun say that you once fought with a dragon named Jiao Qing and seriously injured it, I don't know if this is true?"
