Their one-day wages can buy a month's supply of salt, so why should they work so hard?

In the end, only the well salt collected by a few companies together was qualified, and it became the first homemade salt shop in Plague City.

However, most of the salt was purchased from outside for the court.

night.

Gu Sang connects with the eldest princess.

"Sangsang, the well salt has been made. Fine salt does taste much better than coarse salt."

"Although salt is cheap, it is something we must eat every day."

"Your method of making salt has solved the long-standing problem of salt shortage."

"Pei Changying had already completely given up on Plague City. He even ordered the withholding of salt, grain, and other food, hoping to trap the entire city to death."

"In the past, I always asked Xiaoxue to help me buy some in Jiangnan, and asked merchants to buy some at a high price and bring them to Plague City to sell."

"Fortunately, you announced the method of making salt this time, so Pei Changying relaxed the salt control in Plague City."

Gu Sang nodded. "There have indeed been several salt shortages in history. Without salt, people would become completely exhausted and unable to even stand, let alone fight."

"Pei Changying's move is brilliant! He's directly controlling your salt. Fortunately, some merchants are bold enough to buy salt privately and ship it to you if they have the money, making another profit."

"But having said that, Wei Qi, although the salt production in Plague City is small, this craft cannot be abandoned."

"I'm afraid that one day Pei Changying will once again strictly control the sale of salt into Plague City. By then, we can rely on well salt to prevent Plague City from being left without salt."

The princess agreed and said, "I have already given the order. We in Plague City must produce our own salt. We must also buy salt from outside and stockpile it."

"There's also the matter of the general attacking the city. They've been here for over half a month. I'm a little worried about the border."

"That idiot Pei Changying is truly insane. To suppress us, he even dared to transfer the troops guarding the border. It's simply unreasonable."

It was at the same time that the eldest princess and Gu Sang Youxin were at the border.

A border thousands of miles away from the Plague City.

The Huns somehow learned the secret of the border demilitarization and directly summoned tens of thousands of soldiers to flatten the major border cities!

The shouts and cries of killing that rose to the sky woke up the sleeping people in the border town. Before anyone could wake up from their sleep, the Huns broke open the city gate at a speed that was faster than the blink of an eye.

“Kill!”

"Grab them! These are all ours!"

"Hahahaha... Let's shout and thank the Emperor of Central Plains!"

The Huns riding on tall horses, holding crescent-shaped knives in their hands, brutally inserted the knives into the soldiers' bodies and turned the blades.

The intestines and flesh were pulled out by the scimitar and fell all over the ground.

The Huns held scimitars and plundered the city as if no one was there.

Whenever they met someone on the road, whether it was a civilian fleeing for their lives or a soldier, they would commit seppuku to them, and the entire street would be dyed red with blood.

The entire border town was filled with people crying, shouting, and fleeing, it was like hell on earth.

The people tried their best to escape, but they were no match for the horses. Before they could take a few steps, someone cut out their hearts from behind and they fell to the ground with a plop.

Seeing the corpses scattered all over the street, the husband protected his wife and children and fled back to his yard.

But before they could find a place to hide, the sounds of the Huns were heard outside.

Immediately afterwards, the door was kicked open with great force.

The husband hugged his wife tightly, his voice trembling with determination to face death: "Wife, take good care of the child and live."

Afterwards, the husband didn't know where he got the courage from, but he dared to go out and stop the Huns.

The wife hid the child in the stove, tears streaming down her face, her voice a pleading whisper.

"Child, you must be silent. No matter what happens outside, don't come out!"

"Don't, don't come out."

The wife smeared a layer of pot soot on the child's face, pressed the child's head down, and then put the pot on top.

Looking around, there was no place to hide.

Outside the yard, she could hear her husband's dying roar and the mocking voices of the Huns.

The wife picked up the fire stick in the kitchen and waited for the Hun to open the door, intending to hit him with the stick.

But before the raised stick fell, it was discovered by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Huns, who cut his neck with a knife, and the broken flesh flew onto the wall.

"Hahahaha! This Central Plains will be ours sooner or later!"

"I didn't realize this woman was quite pretty. What a pity. I wish you had hit her a little later. Let me have some fun."

"In such a big city, how can you lack women to make you happy?"

"Go! Kill them all, loot them all, burn them all!"

The Hun laughed and looted all the edible food in the kitchen.

After they left, a fire burned everything here.

In the distance, hundreds of flames lit up all over the town, forming a fire dragon that burned everything wantonly.

In the entire town, no one escaped alive, and those bodies that were not burned were dragged by the Huns to the nearest fire and thrown in.

Old, young, male, female, their bodies became part of the fire dragon's fuel, emitting bursts of mournful wails in the night wind.

The fire gradually died down until the sky began to turn pale in the distance.

Some merchants who came to the border town to do business came to the border town one after another.

But before they reached the border town, they saw a horrifying scene.

"Those are corpses!!! Look, there are so many corpses hanging on the city wall."

"Blood, the walled city is covered in bright red blood!"

The wind blew, and the corpses on the city wall swayed and fluttered. A strong and pungent smell of blood wafted out of the town.

In an instant, all the businessmen who saw this scene felt their scalps tingle.

They fled in the direction they came from with pale faces. At this moment, they didn't even have time to take the goods with them. They rushed to the nearest town to report to the police.

The Huns have invaded the Central Plains!

The Huns destroyed the entire city!

The intelligence was delivered to the capital city at an expedited rate of 800 miles and was cautiously presented to Pei Changying.

Pei Changying sat high up in the main seat of the hall, glanced down at the envelope, trembling with anger, and looked at all the civil and military officials in the court with a gloomy face.

Under the confused and frightened gazes of the ministers, Pei Changying laughed.

But that laughter was miserable and angry, with a hint of coldness and cruelty.

"Hahaha, I sit here, facing the entire court, but I can't tell who among you is a loyal minister and who is a spy!"

"You are all good ministers serving the country and the people! However, some of you are not loyal to me, not to the Central Plains!"

"I mobilized troops without permission. If there weren't spies in the court, how could the Xiongnu seize such a good opportunity to launch a massive attack on the Central Plains? And how could they have completely overrun the border?"

"Who is it! Who has become the Huns' running dog?"
