Chapter 295 Wait for me to come back
There are three types of salt: sea salt, well salt, rock salt, and lake salt.
Currently, the salt mined is sea salt, which is distributed in Liaodong Island and the Huaihe Bay area.
Sang Ning remembered the knowledge of geography. Not to mention sea salt, the northwest is inland and there is no sea.
The largest well salt and mineral salt producing areas are all in Zigong.
The largest lake salt producing area is in Qinghai!
Moreover, lake salt has the characteristics of natural crystallization and is easier to extract than sea salt.
There are records to prove it:
The Hedong Salt Lake is pure and fresh like jade, and it is formed naturally without any cooking or fertilizing.
Qinghai, Qinghai was incorporated into China's territory during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui. Where does it belong to now?
Sang Ning's eyes lit up, "Quickly bring the topographical map!"
Huo Changan's voice fell.
He always keeps the drawings close to him.
Sonning opened it.
"Um……"
What the hell is this drawing!
How can you tell that this is the motherland?
"Can you tell me where we are now?"
When Sang Ning asked this, Yan Meng and the others laughed.
"I thought the mistress could understand it, but it turns out that only the master can understand this blueprint."
"I thought I was the only one who didn't understand it, but it turns out that none of you can understand it," said Sang Ning.
Huo Changan cleared his throat and whispered, "I'll teach you tonight."
"I'll teach you tonight." Yan Meng repeated immediately, winking at Wu Gaoda.
The two of them smiled slyly.
Among them, only the two of them dared to make fun of Huo Changan.
Anyway, no one else dares.
Huo Changan looked annoyed: "Get out!"
The two men's faces became serious, their skin tightened, and they sat upright.
Sang Ning patted Huo Changan, whose face was dark, and said, "As a leader, be more generous."
I thought she was trying to save the situation, but she followed it up with, "Don't bother with an old bachelor without a wife. They're just good at talking."
It hurts!
Not to mention, only Yan Meng and Wu Gaoda don’t have wives.
Now it was other people's turn to laugh at them.
The master hurts others and his body, and the mistress is heartbroken!
It’s okay, don’t joke with the two of them!
Huo Changan pointed out their location to Sang Ning.
Only then did Sang Ning realize that what he had drawn was not just the territory of Dongyang, but also the surrounding neighboring countries and vassal states, but only limited to the areas adjacent to Dongyang. Any further away, it would be gone.
Maybe he doesn't understand this very well.
Except for Taraz, whom she mentioned earlier.
"Where does this land belong to?"
Sang Ning pointed to the southwest of Yequan.
"Belongs to Xiqiang."
Sang Ning shuddered.
Huo Changan was leaning a little too close, and when he spoke, his hot breath went straight into his ears, making him feel numb.
Huo Changan felt Sang Ning's reaction, pursed his lips, and a layer of dazzling light and shadow covered his eyes.
He didn't move away at all, but just tilted his head so that his mouth was no longer facing her ear.
His eyes met Sang Ning's fingers again.
The translucent fingertips slowly slid across the drawing.
Just as carelessly as last night when he cut from his chest to his waist.
My heart is in turmoil again.
Sang Ning calmed himself down and moved his butt.
The fire is too strong and the people being roasted are going to die of heat.
Wu Gaoda looked straight ahead and said seriously, "So, Madam, what's going on with the Western Qiang?"
“Oh, there’s a saltwater lake here.”
Saltwater lake?
"The lake can also produce salt?" Everyone was excited.
They all looked towards that location.
“Of course, this is where we have the largest group of saltwater lakes.”
Oh, is this true?
"No, we can't mess with Xiqiang." Yan Meng frowned.
"Yes, the current King of Western Qiang is decisive and ruthless. He united the scattered tribes into one within three years of taking the throne. The national strength is growing day by day, and even Western Liao doesn't dare to provoke it." Wei Chang also said.
"We can't create unnecessary complications now."
Huo Changan also nodded, agreeing with their words.
"Ah..." Wu Gaoda sighed, "The Northwest is barren, and we finally have a salt lake, but it belongs to someone else."
"Or I'll lead my troops directly to Liaodong Island to rob it!" Yan Meng's eyes were fierce: "I know that place well!"
He grew up in Liaodong County until he was a teenager, and the people there probably still remembered their Yan family.
Sooner or later he would go back and rescue the enslaved people there.
"Hey, hey, hey, no need, no need!"
Sang Ning pointed his hand to another place.
"There's one in this place too. Where does it belong?"
Huo Changan: "This place... is mountainous and uninhabited. To the north of the mountains is the western part of Northern Mongolia."
"Ha! This is it! It belongs to us! Send someone in right away.
Hahaha! Those fools said the Northwest was barren and laughed at us for starting an army there, but they didn't know that the Northwest is full of treasures!
Huo Changan immediately marked that location.
His tone was brisk: "There was a fool saying that just now."
Wu Gundam: “…”
Looking at Yan Meng, "You said that, right?"
"The dog said that!"
“Fuck!”
The two almost started fighting in the tent again.
Pei Mingan shook his head. A man without a wife is childish.
He immediately arranged for someone to investigate.
It is said that the mistress is a person from the Xuanmen sect and knows all kinds of magic. This time, I will see for myself whether it is true.
New Year’s Eve soon arrived.
All the soldiers celebrated the New Year together.
Although we cannot reunite with our families, having fun together with our brothers has reduced some of our homesickness.
There were also women washing their hats and singing.
There were also some brothers who could juggle and perform around the campfire.
At midnight, scouts came to report that the Western Liao army had made unusual movements.
Western Liao would take advantage of the New Year's Day to launch a surprise attack, so everyone was prepared and quickly assembled their troops.
But the scouts came to report again that the Western Liao army had retreated!
Huo Changan and Sang Ning looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
They succeeded!
For nearly two months, they traveled a long distance, through deserts and snow-capped mountains, to reach Taraz, and successfully persuaded the King of Taraz.
"We can attack now."
"Master, what did you say? They retreated." Pei Ming'an thought he had heard wrongly.
Huo Changan looked at him, his eyes shining brighter than the stars in the sky.
"The West Sea Grassland is their largest horse breeding ground. Don't you want to get the best quality war horses?"
They thought about it, but if the Western Liao army counterattacked again, they would suffer heavy losses again.
Didn’t the Lord say that he didn’t want to lose any soldiers?
Pei Mingan was confused.
Huo Changan laughed out loud for the first time, raised his sword and shouted:
"One hundred thousand people will defend the city, and another hundred thousand people will follow me to kill the enemy!"
"After this battle, there will be no more Western Liao!"
The sound pierced through the clouds and split the rocks, unstoppable, penetrating the darkness and entering everyone's ears.
Then, there was a high-pitched response.
"After this battle, there will be no more Western Liao!"
…
Assembly complete.
Huo Changan took one last look at Sang Ning.
Gaze deeply.
He was wearing a cold and hard golden armor and a fluttering black cloak.
His face was solemn, cold and murderous.
There was reluctance and tenderness between his eyebrows.
"Wait until I come back."
Come back and marry you.
