Chapter 222 Dedicated

"Isn't it a problem?" Uncle Liu asked, "Shicheng, what can I do?"

Zhang Yang smiled and didn't answer, "In a word, everyone just needs to purify it. Now there is more inventory, and I'm afraid it won't be enough for sales in the future."

Now he is negotiating with Li Qi. Although he opens his mouth, it is still possible that the other party will agree to his request. If not, in another month or two, he will capture Gaoyou, Baoying, and completely cut off the transportation of the court, and he will not believe that the court will not agree to his request. These refined salts can even be sold to most of them. Most of Gaoyou Prefecture and Yangzhou Road have been under their own rule. In these places alone, the demand for refined salt is not small, and it can even be escorted to the areas ruled by the insurgents. In those areas, the court can't sell them, and the salt merchants dare not go, which is the gap in the salt industry. These refined salts are not enough at all. When all the salt farms in the east of Yangzhou Road are taken down, the scale can be further expanded.

Since Zhang Yang said so, the two have no other opinions. In everyone's eyes, Zhang Yang is already powerful and omnipotent.

"Shicheng, the Spring Festival is coming soon." Uncle Liu said earnestly.

"Yes, there have been too many changes this year." Zhang Yang also said with feeling.

Uncle Liu continued, "Ruo Han will be one year older soon. She is like me now. I have to make the decision for her."

"I want to discuss this matter with Uncle Liu." Zhang Yang said, "Before the end of the year, I will marry Ruohan in Xinghua City. At that time, I will invite Uncle Liu to be the witness."

"Good, good!" Uncle Liu smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together: "That's what I mean. Watching you get married early is also the top priority for me to let go."

"Leave the matter here to Shide. Uncle Liu, please go back to the village and discuss with my mother. The specific work depends on Uncle Liu."

"Good, good!" Uncle Liu was so excited that tears flowed out. He had always had been worried that Zhang Yang's power would become stronger and stronger and he would do something wrong to Ruohan. Although he had been engaged, he was not yet married. Although he was an elder, Zhang Yang was the leader of the rebel army, and the status of the two was very different. Now, the heart disease has been eliminated.

Uncle Liu is old. In the past few months, he has silently dedicated the rest of his life to Zhang Yang's coarse salt purification line. Now, the scale has been formed, and it is time to rest. Zhang Yang wants him and his mother to move to Xinghua City together, wait for Gaoyou to be launched, and then move to Gaoyou.

They have been working all their lives, and now it's time to enjoy happiness.

After a tour, Zhang Yang took Uncle Liu on the boat and prepared to continue north to the Baiju Salt Farm.

The cool breeze of Xi Xi is blowing, and there are salt fields everywhere. From a distance, there is already a layer of crystallization of white flowers. Salt can grow in the salt field. With the help of nearly a thousand years of knowledge, Zhang Yang has become a god-like existence in their eyes.

"Old Uncle Liu, it's windy outside. Go into the cabin and rest!" Zhang Yang said.

"It's okay. Let me have a look." Uncle Liu said.

Uncle Liu and others are doing secret work, and their freedom is limited. They rarely come out to enjoy the scenery around them leisurely. He doesn't want to go back to the cabin.

The two salt farms were not far away. When it was almost dark, they finally drove into the white pupe farm.

Those stationed in the white horse field were Jiang Hui's troops of the first battalion, and they were all spear soldiers.

After a tour, although Li Shanchang has gone to Taizhou, it has also been well organized. As the staff in charge of the rear, Li Shanchang did a very good job, and Zhang Yangshen was gratified to get such a talent.

Zhang Yang equipped all the remaining Tianque to Jiang Hui's hundred-person team, leaving ten instructors. The rest will temporarily live in the salt farm and follow him back tomorrow.

Somehow, Zhang Yang always felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had pulled something out, empty.

Due to the forward movement of the front, it is already a stable rear, but Zhang Yang still does not dare to take it lightly, especially his own family, which has always sent people to protect it. In addition, Ruohan's family has also sent several people, because He Zhaoyi lives in Ruohan's house!

Only then did Zhang Yang remember that every time he came to the white colt field, he would meet He Zhaoyi. Why didn't he see it this time? Is it because it's getting late and the other party has rested?

Passing by Ruohan's house, Zhang Yang didn't go in. Thinking of the last time he accidentally met, he had a strange feeling in his heart. He waved his hand and walked to his home.

"Mom, I'm back." Before Zhang Yang entered the door, he shouted.

The four brothers have been busy with their affairs and have no time to come back at all. They only left their mother Cao at home alone. Zhang Yang felt a little guilty from the bottom of his heart.

When he raised his legs and entered the door, he suddenly found that on the lobby of the middle room, I don't know when, a statue was worshipped, with three incenses in front of him, and there was smoke.

"Shi Cheng is back?" A voice came, and his mother, Cao, came out of the east room.

"Mom, what is this?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Since you started the accident, my mother has worshipped Zhang Fei's statue here. I hope he can bless our Zhang family with peace, turn bad luck into good luck, and rise step by step." Cao said.

Sure enough, Zhang Yang looked carefully. His thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of anger. It was Zhang Fei, one of the three brothers of Taoyuan.

Zhang Yang from later generations is an atheist. Naturally, he does not believe in blessings, manifestation and so on. However, he still understands that this is a family affection of his mother. She has no other way but to pray for herself in this way.

When he came to this world, he inherited all the memories of Zhang Shicheng and accepted the true feelings given to him instead of being his mother.

"Mom, thank you." Zhang Yang said.

"What are you thanking for, this stupid child?" Cao said, " By the way, here is a letter left to you by Miss He."

Leave a letter to me? That is to say, He Zhaoyi has left? Zhang Yang asked, "When did she leave?"

"About ten days ago." Mother said.

Zhang Yang calculated that ten days ago, when he captured Taizhou, He Zhaoyi left in such a hurry, it must be because she heard the news of Taizhou, right?

Zhang Yang opened the envelope, and there were a few drops of water stains on the letter paper. He spread it out and read it.

"Brother Shicheng's meeting:

The willows are flying, and the catkins are like snow. When we first met, you were full of righteousness. I thought to my mind that there was such a handsome man in the sky! In Yangzhou City, we helped each other twice. With kindness, coarse salt was exchanged for refined salt, and the business was successful.

However, the good times are not long, and the king is not in the pool. In troubled times, the heroes rise together, and the king actually intends to dominate the world.

First start the killing port, and then start the salt farm. Countless creatures are suffering, and several families are happy and several families are worried. Now, Taizhou has fallen, and the province is in an emergency. Yangzhou and Taizhou are competing to each other. Does An Zhijun have any intention of Yangzhou?

My father has decided to go north and go to the capital. It's a long way. He didn't want my father's journey to be bleak, so he decided to go to the capital together. This trip is goodbye forever.

But Jun Yin's smile often lingers in front of his eyes. He has different positions. Even if he has a lover, it is difficult to get married.

When I see you, I will miss you for the rest of my life!"

After reading the letter, Zhang Yang didn't know what it was like in his heart. Then he looked at a few drops of water stains on the letter paper. It was clearly Zhaoyi's tears. She knew that the two places were about to be separated, and her positions were different. She was afraid that she would not have a chance to meet again. She finally boldly expressed her feelings so bluntly, but is it still useful?

If you like it, then you will love desperately. Modern women's concept of love is like this, but in ancient times, it was the order of their parents and the words of matchmaking, which had bound these women's thoughts for a long time.

She went to Dadu. Did she think Dadu was safe? In a few years, the Yuan Dynasty will perish. Emperor Yuanshun was already the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

By contrast, Zhang Yang didn't know what he felt. At first, he was just using the power of the He family to create wealth for himself. However, unconsciously, that person gradually entered his heart and lingered. My feelings for Ruohan are true, and the feelings of contrasting Yi are also true. Although the two have never made that meaning, now, Zhao Yi is the first to show it, but it is already a separation.

"When I came that day, I saw that Miss He was a little emotionally unstable. What did she say in her letter?" Cao asked that she was illiterate and would not peek at the letter to her son.

"Tshaoyi has left, and the He family in Yangzhou has moved away and gone to Dadu." Zhang Yang said.

"Oh." Cao nodded, and a stone in her heart fell. She had already seen Miss He's affection for her son. However, with Ruohan preconceivedness, she had already identified this daughter-in-law, and as Miss He, she could not be small, so Miss He left, everything was easy to do.

"My uncle Liu has also arrived at the salt farm. I asked my mother and Uncle Liu to discuss my marriage with Ruohan." Zhang Yang said.

"Oh, okay." Cao is very happy. She has long wanted the two of them to get married and get married before they can have children. She has been waiting to have grandchildren for a long time.

"I'm going to bed." Zhang Yang turned around and entered the West Room.

"This child, really!" Cao shook his head and went back to the east room.

Zhang Yang is lying in **. This bed is the bed he has slept in for more than 30 years. This bed has accompanied him for many years. In the past six months, I have been running around and staying at home. On the contrary, there are not many days, and this bed has become lonely.

"Old man, do you think I'm very playful?" Zhang Yang said to himself. Be dedicated with love. This is Zhang Yang's lofty ideal since he was a child. Men should never step on two boats.

From then on, he devoted himself to Ruo Han and had a close marriage to her. He was his closest person. However, he closed his eyes and what appeared in his mind was He Zhaoyi's tearful peach blossoms.

When I see you, I miss my life!

Zhang Yang slept in a daze all night like this.

The next day, the sky was fine. After Zhang Yang got up, he had breakfast and came to the salt farm again.

Zhang Yang has a deep affection for Baiju salt farm, which is the starting point of Zhang Yang's career. Without the identity of being a pheasant in the salt farm, he can't accumulate primitive capital. Without the experience of selling private salt, he will not know so much about the huge profits of refined salt.

Looking at the large salt fields and the endless fields around him, Zhang Yang's heart fluctuated. In fact, whether the Mongols are emperors or the Han people are emperors, this is secondary. The key is who can bring more benefits to the people. In fact, Zhang Yang did not want to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. If possible, he wanted to be a rich gentry like Shen Wansan. However, as a person in the 21st century, he did not expect that there was no human rights here at all. The people lived in deep trouble, and even basic survival was a problem. He wanted to avoid it. The world, but I can't do it.

Land is distributed to each farmer, and it is forbidden to be concentrated in the hands of a few people. Only in this land policy can protect the most basic interests of farmers.

On this land, it is the first to implement this land policy. The people here are also the most supportive of Zhang Yang. As long as Zhang Yang shakes his arms, all the people will stand behind Zhang Yang without hesitation.

Because of this, Zhang Yang is also like walking on thin ice. If he is defeated, the people here will not have a good end.

"Brother, there is news from Xinghua." A messenger rode a horse to the front of Zhang Yang, jumped off the horse, and hurriedly said to Zhang Yang.

"Huh? What's the news?

"Li Qi, the magistrate of Gaoyou, is here again." The messenger said.

Here we go again? Come so fast! It seems that the province is also in a hurry. If he is in a hurry, I won't be in a hurry. Zhang Yang asked, "Did Li Qi bring any news? Do you agree with my request?

If he can even agree to his requirements, Zhang Yang decided to suspend his troops for the time being. Anyway, he is not ready to fight again before the New Year.

"This little one doesn't know. The other party just said that he wanted to discuss it with the eldest brother in person." The messenger said.

"Well, let Lv Zhen receive you well. I'll go back in a few days." Zhang Yang said.

"This..." The messenger was a little embarrassed. Lv Zhen eagerly asked Zhang Yang to go back, but Zhang Yang said that he would stay in the salt farm for a few days first?

Zhang Yang shook his head. From a militarily speaking, these generals can basically stand alone, but his political and ideological awareness is not high. If Li Shanchang or Shi Nai'an are there, he can understand his own ideas. If the other party is in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry. Let's talk about it first and put on airs before bargaining.

"Go ahead, just say I'm busy. Let Li Qi wait in Xinghua first!" Zhang Yang said that although the marriage was handed over to his mother and Uncle Liu, he still had to participate in it. On the side of the salt farm, the fourth battalion and the base camp have returned. It is time to train quickly, and the next combat deployment must be carefully considered. I have a lot of things to do. Let Li Qi go first.

On the vast canal, a large lonely ship is sailing north.

"Dad, we are staying well in Yangzhou. Why do we have to go to Dadu?" In the cabin, a voice asked.

"Thaoyi, don't talk too much. You went out against your father's will this time. Dad hasn't punished you yet. Where have you gone?"

"Dad, my daughter is bored in Yangzhou. Let's go out for a walk by herself."

"Dad is old and just wants to spend his old age in peace. Dad hopes that you don't take our whole family to the dead end."

"Dad, your daughter really doesn't understand what you said."

"Don't understand? My good sister, you have been haunting the Baiju salt farm controlled by the anti-thieves during this period, right? He Zhaojie asked.

He Zhaoyi knew that he thought he was going to find Zhang Shicheng secretly. In fact, his second brother had known it for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have found himself so "just right" and let himself go to the north with his family.

The loss of Taizhou City is equivalent to the loss of the barrier in the eastern part of Yangzhou. People's hearts are floating in Yangzhou City. Taking this opportunity, at the insue of He Zhaojie's insue, Mr. He finally decided to move his family to the capital, which was relatively stable, and the He family's business in Yangzhou and other parts of the south of the Yangtze River were all handed over to He Zhaojie. He Zhao Jie sent his family to Dadu in the north, and then returned, while the rest of the He family stayed in Dadu.

He Zhaojie's tricks were naturally hidden from He Zhaoren and He Zhaoyi, but they had no other way. At this time, his father only believed in He Zhaojie. He rendered the anti-thief so fierce. In order to save his family, Mr. He gave up his business and temporarily avoided most of the capital.

After Mr. He left, He Zhaojie could do whatever he wanted, which was equivalent to sitting in the position of the head of the family in advance. This is also the purpose of He Zhaojie repeatedly instimidated Mr. He.

After the period of time in the salt field, He Zhaoyi gradually understood some truths. The lives of the people, the oppression of the court, and the uprisings everywhere have been ignited and hid in most places. What can he do? Even Shen Wansan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, can do business with Zhang Shicheng. Why can't the He family?

She wanted to talk to her father, but she didn't dare. Shen Wansan and the thief were doing business? How shocking it would be if this news came out of my mouth. Besides, will my father believe it?

Zhang Shicheng! Once I go to Dadu, will I have a chance to meet him again?

The wind outside is getting more and more fierce. The winter in the north has been cold, wind, rain and snow since ancient times.

The more they went north, there were more and more ice cubes in the canal. The boatmen walked carefully for another two days, and finally, they dared not go north again.

"Sir, I'm afraid the canal in front of me is frozen, and the little one dares not drive north again. Please get off the boat and change to a carriage!" The boatman said.

"Frozen?" Only then did Mr. He remember that he always does business in the south and forgets the situation in the north. In the north, the river is frozen in winter. It is already very good that this ship can travel until now.

"Ouch, come ashore, Zhao Jie, send someone to hire 20 carriages, and we will go to Dadu along the official road."

Mr. He didn't know that in the north, there was already a lot of war, and the canal was still in the hands of the court, but it was hard to say in other places. The Red Turban Army in the north, under the leadership of Liu Futong, has occupied many territories, while Li Siqi and Wang Baobao are leading the army to try to destroy the Red Turban Army in the north.

He Zhaojie showed a rare smile: "Yes, my father, I'll look for it right away."
