The battlefield filled with war drums and killing sounds, the thick smoke rising up, the broken arms and limbs whose blood has not yet cooled, the desperate eyes on the head of the corpse, this kind of blood that makes people spit out, always ready to kill people and always ready to be killed, let

People's spirits have to be tense all the time. Over time, even the strong mental will, people are prone to post-traumatic stress disorder.

Therefore, even if Zhu Zhen, who was accustomed to life and death for two lifetimes, was looking forward to leaving the military camp, changing the environment to rest, and striving to get out of the trauma of the war as soon as possible after the war ended.

People with rich war experience actually know how to enjoy a leisurely life.

When the whip was tired, he took off the wine gourd from his waist and drank two sips of his top-quality daughter Hong. Life was so happy.

Or when the sun is in full swing, I leaned on the shaft and fell asleep in a daze.

After a long time of leisure, I will forget my identity in a daze, and the bloody smell on my body will naturally dissipate. And without complicated government affairs, the wounds on my body will naturally heal faster. As for why Wang Yuluo followed, she was worried that Duanmu Yuhe was lonely in the car. After all, she could not show up like a big man like Zhu Zhen and others. Besides, the little girl, as the most famous writer of the Ming Dynasty, also needs to learn folk songs.

, so she is the most active member of traveling.

With a beautiful wife following her and a jade man as her companion, Zhu Zhen felt that this time he was not going to the countryside to investigate, but rather a leisurely trip.

I was so happy that I picked up the wine gourd, took a few sips, and then threw a few whip flowers, which really made me feel like an old driver.

Zhu Zhen was accompanied by fine wine, and other friends, such as Li Jin, naturally looked at Zhu Zhen from time to time.

Zhu Zhen did not strictly demand them, and threw half of the remaining fine wine over. The group of little guys immediately became so beautiful that they scrambled to drink the fine wine in a moment.

Huai'an was prosperous and had far-reaching historical reasons. Salt farms were set up here since the Western Han Dynasty. By the Northern Song Dynasty, Huai'an salt farms had developed to the extreme.

Salt is an indispensable material for human life. If there is no salt, people will become weak, their hair will turn white, and even suffer from many painful diseases.

For ordinary people, it doesn’t matter if they don’t eat meat every day, but if they don’t eat salt, they will definitely not be able to bear it.

Therefore, since Emperor Wu of Han, the country has begun to implement a salt and iron franchise, and what it is interested in is the huge profits. With the support of salt and iron swelling, the Han Empire also had enough support and completed the Han Empire's crazy counterattack against the Huns.

All of this is money at work.

And even if the people below risked their heads, they would sell private salt.

If you dare to stop him from selling private salt, he would even dare to rebel. In Gaoyou, a salt vendor Zhang Shicheng rose up and eventually became a overlord.

It can be seen that things like salt do have extremely attractive interests, which flock to the government and the people.

This time, Zhu Zhen was in charge of Huai'an, and Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a letter to Zhu Zhen, specifically reminding him of something, which was to take salt to supplement the use of Yingtian.

Yingtian lacks salt, how much is it?

If officials and officers were given a bag of salt when paying their salaries, they would be happier than if they received gold and silver.

Before, Zhu Yuanzhang lived a frustrated life. He was in the four battles and could not even find a sea port. The salt-producing land was controlled by Zhang Shicheng. Zhu Yuanzhang was controlled everywhere and a large amount of wealth was plundered by Zhang Shicheng every year.

This made the petty Zhu Yuanzhang hold a grudge against this matter for a long time. Once he had the opportunity, he would take Huaian and even if he cut his losses, he would willingly give it to Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Zhen had a good fortune and gave Huai'an to Zhu Zhen. He no longer had to worry about eating salt. In addition, because the Northern Yuan Dynasty implemented the abnormal salt administration, and organized salt households to be allocated and civilians, and implemented a system similar to craftsmen. Not only did these salt households have to produce salt for the country from generation to generation, the government also asked these people to obey several groups, and at the same time they were paying taxes.

The law of salt induction is volatile. The money taken away by the state is limited, and the income these people get is even more limited. They are not covered in clothes and are difficult to guarantee three meals a day, but they have become richer. However, Huai'an, controlled by Zhang Shicheng, not only has no good changes, but because of Zhang Shicheng's appeasement and peace, the wealthy merchants have plundered more interests and their overall strength is stronger. This has also led to the chaotic forces of all parties here.

, it has become a private land.

If Zhu Zhen wants to control Huai'an, he naturally has to start with salt.

This is called concentrating the main force to resolve the main contradictions.

Water and sky are connected, let alone a glance, even thousands of eyes can’t see the end. At this time, the sea does not have as much domestic waste and sewage discharge as in later generations. Looking around, the dark blue color cannot see the end.

After several days of running around, Zhu Zhen's team finally arrived at the busy Huaian Salt Field.

Although the whole Huai'an was in an extremely tense state because of the war a few days ago, the salt merchants still did not reduce their exploitation of salt households. The seaside was filled with people boiling salt. Standing on the slopes and looking out from a distance, there were more than 20 salt fields staggered between them, dust and smoke rolling, the people were ragged and dark in their skin, covered with pickled facial towels, facing the sea breeze, thank you.

Boil salt.

There was a saying in the Yuan Dynasty that salt was drying, but it was not promoted in Huai'an. Moreover, the initial salt drying technology was not jumpy, and the salt that was dried was not as good as the salt that was cooked.

This has led to the fact that the salt farm in Huai'an is still boiling salt, and the raw materials are firewood, which has obviously become a huge industry.

Looking behind me from the hillside, the people who come and go cannot see the end are all convoys of firewood with big trucks.

As an intellectual, Ru Taisu did not focus on the people like Zhu Zhen, but had a unique feeling about the mountains and rivers.

Yes, except for Zhu Zhen, a person who was tired of flying on the last time, who had been tired of flying on the warships, and had long been used to seeing the sky and the ocean, any person would have a different feeling when they first saw the sea.

It is a magical power that makes people obsessed with and admire, but they want to conquer it. Only a great hero with a broad mind can he be able to swallow the mountains and rivers and tolerate the world!

"I heard that Jue Ye is also a person with extraordinary writing style. Now facing the sea, it makes people feel excited. How can you not learn how to write a poem to write a poem to memorialize?"

Wang Yuluo also got out of the carriage. Although she had been in Huai'an for a while, she had always been living in a quiet place and came to the beach for the first time!

When she saw the vast sea, she was extremely excited.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately praised each other, and even Duanmu Yuhe's big eyes were full of anticipation.

It seems that my husband hasn't written any words that make me excited for a long time.

Zhu Zhen himself hadn't realized that he had written a lot of things before and had already had a place in the literary world, especially at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when novels had emerged.

Ru Taisu also spoke on the side, "Brother, write something, otherwise how can you be worthy of such a majestic and magnificent sea view." Now the beauty is invited, and the wife is looking forward to it, and even her young follower is full of admiration. Zhu Zhen naturally has to show off his hands. He now straightens his chest, raises his head, tightens his abdomen, and strokes his hair, making a generous and heroic aura. As for the praises

The poems and essays of the sea, don’t you just open your mouth?

"The sea, it's all water!"

Just as the six words were about to be spoken, Zhu Zhen suddenly woke up and bit his tongue hard, finally swallowing this stupid poem back.

"Well~ um~~ah!" Fortunately, Zhu Zhen was smart enough, pretending to clear his throat, then shook his swollen tongue and copied a poem that was not suitable for the situation. However, although this poem was not suitable for the situation, it reflected Zhu Zhen's real mood.

Everyone in the world knows that gods and immortals are good, but they can’t forget their fame and fortune!

Where are the generals and ministers of ancient and modern times? A pile of grass is gone.

Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only gold and silver cannot be forgotten!

All day long I regretted that I had not gathered for too long, and my eyes closed for a long time.

...

"Okay! ~ OK! ~ Bo Ye is very literary and the best in the world!" The first one to applaud was Li Jin and a group of personal guards. In fact, these people only know how to ride horses, shoot arrows, and chop people, and don't even know a lot of big words. However, their admiration for Zhu Zhen is beyond words. Since it is Bo Ye's poems, it's natural

It's the best, even if you don't understand, you have to clap your hands!

Seeing that everyone was silent, I stopped and clapped my hands awkwardly.

Duanmu Yuhe and others were indeed a little confused. They didn't know what Zhu Zhen's messy sentence had to do with poetry and what was related to the sea. However, Ru Taisu seemed to understand something and said with a shameful expression: "The Lord's move is indeed extraordinary and quite alert. He forgot the point. Although the scenery is good, it is not the purpose of our trip. We

What we need to do is to deal with those salt merchants who have done evil and rescue these suffering people." Ru Taisu is a scholar who is well-read after all, so he can naturally appreciate the quality of Zhu Zhen's sentences. However, his expression is a bit strange, because Zhu Zhen's poems are mocking these salt merchants for profit and pursuit of ordinary things, but they are more or less

Some thoughts of hiding the world.

Let me think that although Jue Ye is in charge, I really have no intention of truly competing for dominance in the world. Could it be that Jue Ye Ye belongs to Lao Zhuang and plays a lot of things in the world?

Wang Yuluo reacted the second time, "Yes, Bo Ye can abandon the beautiful scenery of the sea and think about these suffering people in his heart, which really makes the little girl admire him. However, the little girl does not recognize your advice as much as the Lord. The businessmen themselves are profit-seeking people. Now they oppress the people and seek profit because they lack supervision and good institutional jurisdiction. What Bo Ye has to do is to specify rules and strengthen supervision. As for whether the world pursues a better life, it is not what Lord Ye should intervene."
