Chen Duzhu had a feeling that Nan'an Hou acted in this style, and his unique approach was to achieve success. His first goal was to avoid rebounding and confrontation as much as possible, but he would not give people the feeling of softness and hardness. For example, in the case of Qizhou, King Zhao and others would definitely not allow Nan'an Hou's Mansion to stay in Qizhou. As a result, when the lord evacuated, a fire burned Qizhou Port to white ground, and all the docks where the ships were stopped were burned.

King Zhao and others were helpless. The inspector Xiao Zan once submitted a memorial to impeach him. Xu Zixian submitted a memorial to defend himself, saying that Fujian's guardians were insufficient and the navy had not gone to sea for many days to train. If the complete Qizhou Port was kept, it would be possible to be taken advantage of by other pirates.

This reason is quite high-sounding, and the court has nothing to say. Xiao Zan was so dirty that King Zhao could only throw a cup in the mansion and beat the maid to vent his grudge.

Qizhou Port is an important place, the important road in Jiangkou. King Zhao originally planned to operate this place, but now it is completely destroyed.

Chen Duzhu felt that Nan'an Hou was quite complicated, with a practical side and a tough side, and of course the side of being kind and loving the people, caring for the people, caring for the soldiers, and loving them like relatives.

On the even more violent side, the thieves who fought with Nan'an Hou were quite miserable. They were either killed on the spot or beheaded after defeat. They were defeated one after another, and thousands of people were killed. Almost few living people were sent to the Examination Department for interrogation and then beheaded.

It was also a bold side. In the battle of the capital, he bravely led his troops to break through the Dasan Mansion and captured and killed the Chief Secretary. This was the first time since the founding of the Great Wei and the founding of the country.

He was able to escape unscathed and promoted his position. His military and political abilities were regarded as being valued by others.

If it weren't for these things, how could Nan'an Hou have gained such great support and recognition from everyone with his current age and status?

The more than ten officials, gentry and businessmen in front of them look inconspicuous, but they are all big names who are energetic, have territory, and have control over the lifeline of a region of economics.

They may not have official positions and are not famous, but they are just such people who are not famous, but they are the backbone of the Great Wei business empire.

Their recognition is quite difficult.

"Thank you all for a long time." This time, the person in charge of receiving Chen Zuocai. In addition to being in charge of the Chief of the Secretariat, Chen Zuocai is also a deputy guest. Recently, Wu Shizhong has devoted all his energy to the school room affairs. He asked this great scholar to perform the position of a guest. It is really difficult to entertain these merchants, lords and shopkeepers of various families. If it spreads, the image of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion will become extremely bad.

"The king has been accompanying the army to train these days, so I can only entertain you. I also want to ask you to forgive us for being a simple and arrogance." Chen Zuocai was wearing a neat official robe, and the merchants who came also understood that the officials of the Dongfan were divided into three levels, and were called Cangdian, Secretary and Order robe to the outside world. However, the person in front of him was wearing an official robe and was very majestic, obviously not an ordinary person.

Chen Duzhu smiled and said, "Chen Si is a close minister around the Marquis of Nan'an. I heard that he is in charge of the documents in the Marquis' Mansion and has made all foreign affairs. Of course, there are also guards, patrols and other matters. He is a high-ranking and powerful person. He is here to welcome us. We are disturbing us."

Those who came to Dongfan all had identities. Originally, many people hoped that Xu Zi would come first. Seeing that it was an official coming to pick him up, many people were still faintly disappointed.

But when I heard that it was the common servant who was close to Xu Zixian, everyone changed their faces and bowed to Chen Zuocai with a smile. Chen Zuocai also bowed back and said with a smile: "It's too late today. The Lords went to the inn to rest directly. We have prepared wine and food. How about going to the salt farm tomorrow?"

Chen Duzhu had enough identity and said bluntly: "I still think I'll see you tonight. I always see in the letter saying that the salt pond is piled up like a mountain and I can't see you in person. I feel really itchy. When I arrived at the Dongfan, I really couldn't help it."

Everyone felt the same, and they said at the moment: "Drinking wine at home every day, why bother rushing for a while? We all want to go to the salt farm."

Since everyone insisted, Chen Zuocai was no longer polite. He summoned more than ten carriages and horses and brought these foreign guests to the southeast.

A cavalry guard from a capital were sent along the way. Everyone saw more than a hundred cavalry holding torches, illuminating the road along the way. The cavalry was strong and brave, and the official road was as smooth as a mirror. Chen Duzhu said to Wei Jiuzhen on the swaying carriage, Lin Yangxian and others: "It's a pity that the county of Nan'an Houzhi should be above Lin Douyao."

This is a pity that King Qi was killed. If the husband was not the King of Qi, now the King of Qi was the Grand Governor, and Xu Zixian was the commander of the observation and gradually grasped the Xiang army. With the level of Xu Zixian's military, political and economic methods, he could easily sort out the Xiang army. With the support of King Qi, Lin Douyao and others, he would be able to suppress King Zhao in Fuzhou and unable to move. The chief officials of each military prefecture would definitely be helpless.

But there is nothing to say, so I can only express the unfinished meaning with a sentence "What a pity".

Wei Jiuzhen shook his head and smiled, and said, "It may not be a pity. I see that the military and political methods of the Dongfan are similar to those of the Great Wei, and they are superior everywhere. It can be seen that there are talented people in the country, or can Nan'an Hou make up for the original intention of Taizu?"

Taizu of the Great Wei reigned for more than 20 years, spending most of his time in the battle with the Northern Lu. At the beginning of the country, the Northern Lu was also the most powerful, with hundreds of thousands of control strings, and there were more than 20 pure Mongolian 1000 teams, as well as many servants such as Korea, Bohai, Khitan, and Jurchen.

When he went to Japan, he lost more than 100,000 yuan and did not cause much damage to him. He knew how strong the Northern Ru was at the beginning of the founding of the country.

That is a pure armed force. If the Han servants in the north are included, the Northern Barbarians can mobilize up to about 800,000 troops, which is no less than the Great Wei.

Later, the imperial guards, wing troops and regiments practiced all the methods to release the civil power of the entire Han area. The Wei army was dominant everywhere on the front thousands of miles, and the main battlefield was fought in Jinyang and Yunzhou. The terrain was quite beneficial to the Wei army. The Northern Lu lost most of the heavy cavalry in the battle, and since then, the Wei ruled the world.

You should know that when the Beilu was in the early Wei Dynasty, its main force was more than 200,000 teams. Its structure was strict and its hierarchy was clear. The ten thousand men were all heroes of the generals and heroes of the battles. The Beilu were also good at learning military technology, whether it was attacking or defending, both of which were remarkable. That was the time when it was most prosperous. The Qixue Army had two bows on their backs, and could shoot left and right on horseback, wearing iron armor, holding a long iron spear, heavy axe, long sword, and wearing bones. It could break the heavy infantry formation on the front.

If the enemy's heavy cavalry is used, the Northern Lu cavalry will not fight head-on, and they will shoot from afar. The enemy's vertical cavalry will catch up with each other and keep turning around and shooting in front. The enemy's heavy cavalry will not catch up with it. Finally, they are killed by the Northern Lu cavalry by flying kites. When the enemy's cavalry is in chaos, the Northern Lu cavalry will return to pursue. No matter which tribe or country, they are not their opponents.

The Dangxiang people, Western Liao, Huatshu Zimo and other countries were all destroyed by the Northern Lu. When it was the strongest, the territory was more than ten thousand miles away?

Taizu of the Great Wei raised his troops with civilians and led his troops to join the Han territory. Then he fought to restore Yanyun in the northern expedition and defeated him when the Northern Barbarians were at its strongest momentum. This was a great man and a strange man.

He also had many wonderful ideas on national policies and major policies. The Great Wei has been in great power for more than 200 years. If it weren't for the great pressure in the north, I'm afraid that the South, East and Western countries would also be owned by the Great Wei.

Even now, if we change to a monarch who is stable, restore the authority of the center again, and sort out the relationship between the center and the local area, the situation of the Great Wei Kingdom is not at risk.

From this point of view alone, Xu Zixian might have done better. In fact, people have a vague feeling in their hearts that all Xu Zixian's actions were too outstanding, and it was not very appropriate to compare them with ordinary ministers. This monarch is more like the founding ancestor of the country back then.

But this idea is very obscure and no one can say it out loud. Many people even have this idea vaguely, and they put it aside with a flash of thought.

In any case, in Xia Chu of the 14th year of Chongde, saying that the Great Wei was about to destroy the country, Xu Zi, the Marquis of Nan'an, was the Lord of Time. This statement was spread. Although it would not be regarded as a ridiculous joke, there would not be too many people who would take such words to heart.

The cavalry spread out one after another, and some people held torches with their hands. Under the firelight, they saw their iron-castle horns and hard faces. This was an elite cavalry, from the posture of riding a horse, with iron armor on both sides of the horse's belly, and many people had pockets and long snares on both sides of the horse's belly. This showed that they could shoot or poke and fight on the horse's horse, which was quite good.

Many cavalry put down the iron masks on their faces, and under the light of fire, they were connected with the iron armor on their bodies, giving people the feeling of being cold and hard iron man.

The noise of cars and horses and people gradually stopped talking and laughing, and people seemed to be infected and shocked by this cold breath.

Someone sighed in a low voice: "I still remember the letter from Marquis of Nan'an, advocating that this dynasty must be heavy on cavalry, and that cavalry is not enough to control the enemy. It seems that in the Dongfan, Marquis of Nan'an also needs to train a strong cavalry."

"I hope so." Someone whispered, but not many people were willing to speak. The cavalry in this city left a strong and profound impression on people. In addition, the journey was bumpy and the sea was already exhausted, and now people are even more reluctant to speak.

The atmosphere gradually became deeper until the body of the car vibrated. Cavalry swung back to the convoy and shouted: "The salt field has arrived, please get off the car."

The carriage stopped, and Chen Duzhu, Lin Yangxian, Wei Jiuzhen, Xu Yanda and others got off the car one after another.

Suddenly, a strong fishy and salty smell surged between the ears and noses, which was much stronger than the ordinary sea breeze.

And it seems that it is not a place near the beach, and there seems to be a small hill blocking the way in front of everyone.

Chen Duzhu was a little puzzled and said with a smile: "Si Chen never took us to see the salt field. It seems that there are mountains blocking the road here?"

Chen Zuocai smiled but refused to answer, turned around and said, "Tell the salt workers to hold more torches and come over to light up the guests."

There seemed to be a cavalry answering not far away, and then the sound of horse hooves passed by. After a moment, the light lit up from the left and right sides of the hill in front of me, and then it became closer and closer.

Everyone had some doubts in their eyes and didn't quite understand why the Nan'an Marquis Mansion did this. Someone vaguely felt that it was necessary to keep it strictly confidential and that the salt farm was located behind the mountain? But if this were the case, it would be inconvenient to dry salt and transport it, and the official roads in front of them were wasted.

The light is getting stronger and closer.

Suddenly someone shouted: "This is Yanshan!"

Everyone was shocked. Chen Duzhu's steps became weak and he almost fell down. Lin Yang beside him supported him first.

At this time, the torch light gradually increased. Everyone saw dozens or hundreds of people wearing torches, most of whom were naked salt workers. Their faces were as normal as they saw too many people who were surprised because it was already very late, and most of these working people had fallen asleep. At this time, many people were sleepy and yawning, with dissatisfaction in their expressions.

Dozens of people slowly climbed up the Yanshan Mountain, and the torches finally illuminated the entire view of Yanshan Mountain.

What a spectacular look this is, many people are filled with tears.

Boiling salt along the coast was a common law for thousands of years. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the war lasted for a hundred years. In order to obtain income, the best way for the state regime was to send soldiers and stove officials to the beach to boil salt in a large pot, and the salt they obtained was to sell it for military use.

By the time of the Great Wei Dynasty, salt was also obtained by decoding, which was quite difficult to come by. Therefore, the special sale of salt has always been the most important financial income of the Great Wei court. Compared with the special sale of wine, vinegar, tea, iron, etc., salt is a hard currency that the people cannot get away from for a moment. In short, the court was a stable source of income.

But in front of everyone, a salt mountain suddenly appeared.

As white as sugar, as high as a mountain. This is a very impactful scene. In just a moment, everyone was speechless and could not come back to their senses for a long time.

"It's like a miracle." Chen Duzhu felt that his chest was hit hard, and he couldn't breathe for a while.

So that's the case, is it really?

It seems that the letters from Chen Duzhong, Chen Duguang and others are just detailed descriptions. Although the letters say that the salt field is spectacular, it is not as good as the one in front of you.

If the towering salt mountain is packed and transported, it is probably more than 100,000 bags, or more than 100,000 stones.

In just a short time, the salt drying method actually produced such a yield, which is simply terrifying.
