call……

clang……

In the inner courtyard of the government office, the sound of swords clashing rang out, and two figures ran across each other. Ling Xin'an held a large sharp knife and quickly evaded the attack.

His opponent is Sun Wu.

Ling Xin'an discovered that he, as a guard, had an unimaginable talent for martial arts. Sun Wuren lived up to his name, and his strong body hid terrifying power.

At the beginning, Ling Xin'an didn't know the depth and asked Sun Wu to let his horse come over. So, Sun Wu didn't draw the sword yet, only brought the scabbard and slashed at Ling Xin'an. He was so fast that he hit Ling Xin'an's shoulder in an instant, and then directly

I lay on the floor and couldn't get up for a long time.

This frightened Shuang'er and Sun Wu. Shuang'er directly yelled at Sun Wu for not understanding the seriousness of the matter. Sun Wu looked guilty, regretful and deeply disturbed. He didn't pay attention to Shuang'er's scolding and hurriedly went to check Ling Xin'an's injuries.

Fortunately, it was just a dislocation, which also required him to rest for two days before he fully recovered.

Ling Xin'an, on the other hand, quickly comforted the two of them, saying that she had overestimated her own abilities and had brought it upon herself.

So, after bandaging his shoulder, Ling Xin'an asked Sun Wu, how strong is your strength now?

Sun Wu thought for a moment and said that his arm strength was estimated to be three thousand kilograms.

Ling Xin'an asked again, how much did you use when you hit me? Sun Wu scratched his head and said.

It's only five hundred kilograms, sir. The little one is afraid of hurting you.

Ling Xin'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She really underestimated the people of this era. According to him, someone like Sun Wu was not qualified to be a centurion.

These words made Ling feel relieved, but they also aroused his fighting spirit.

After the injury healed, Ling Xin'an came back from running and meditated, and then she had another fight.

Any martial arts requires experience in practice.

Sun Wu has become cautious since he accidentally injured Ling Xin'an last time. Ling Xin'an told him to control his power and let go of the rest.

In the second practice, the two men held wooden swords. In the nearly half hour of sparring, Ling Xin'an was hit by the knife 247 times, including being beheaded 132 times and in the chest 90 times.

All that's left are limbs.

According to Ling Xin'an, he had been chopped into pieces by Sun Wu.

The days passed quietly like this. Counting the time, it has been three months since Ling Xin'an came to this world.

In the past three months, the sales of soy sauce and refined salt caused a complete sensation in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. The three chambers of commerce have jumped from unknown small chambers of commerce to well-known chambers of commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In these three months, they have made huge profits.

The profits of the three shopkeepers have made the situation in their respective families soar. The other chambers of commerce in Jiangzhou City are so jealous that they are about to bleed with jealousy, but there is nothing they can do.

The advent of refined salt made Ling Xin'an's name appear in the meeting hall of the Zhou Dynasty for the first time. When Liang Ruiwen and Xu Haitao's memorials and the secret recipe of refined salt were presented, the latter did not forget to add Ling Xin'an's name to the discovery of refined salt.

It is said that when the emperor and the empress looked at such pure white and delicate salt, they scolded the three of them for hiding their secrets and fined them half a year's salary. This move made all the officials present break out in cold sweat and tremble with fear.

However, for the improvement of coarse salt, he was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and promoted to the first rank. Liang Ruiwen and Xu Haitao immediately went to Beijing to report on their work and pass on the secret recipe without any mistakes. Ling Xin'an was ordered to supervise the Salt Road Department until Liang and Xu returned home.

The dynasty has its own fast and secret channels to notify the prefectures, and each prefecture will then notify the counties.

Not long after Ling Xin'an sat in the courtroom, she heard the rapid sound of horse hooves outside.

"Ling Zhian accepts the order!" Then it was read out. ps: To everyone here, Ling Xin'an's name is still the same Ling Zhian as before. Ling Xin'an pretended to be Ling Zhian's name and person to exist in this world. All outsiders from now on

He is called "Jianan" by name, I hope you know.

Ling Xin'an received the imperial edict and thanked the Holy Master at a 45-degree angle in the sky, and then sent someone to reward the people in the government office.

Duan Qing immediately came over to express his congratulations. The two praised each other a few times, and then saw Liang Ruiwen and Xu Haitao coming hand in hand.

Ling Xin'an suddenly smiled and said: "Greetings to the two adults, congratulations to the two adults."

Liang Ruiwen said: "Congratulations, Master Ling."

Ling Xin'an cupped her hands and said, "Thank you two adults."

Of course he meant to write his name in the memorial.

Liang Ruiwen said with a smile: "Master Ling discovered this alone, but the two of us are still in the spotlight of Master Ling."

Ling Xin'an said casually: "It's just a small matter. The two adults are here probably to go to Beijing to meet the saint."

Liang and Xu nodded.

Ling Xin'an thought for a while and said: "Ling has also received the imperial edict. As for the Salt Road Division mentioned by the Holy Spirit, you two adults can rest assured that Ling will never participate in business changes, but you two must find someone you can trust to manage it.

If something goes wrong, the Holy One will blame me. It doesn't matter if I am beheaded, but don't forget, there is Ling Mansion behind me."

When Liang Ruiwen and Xu Haitao heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, and they nodded quickly and said: "Thank you Master Ling, we have no other intentions. Since Master Ling is so happy, I won't hide it, I will send someone to report to you every day."

Your Majesty, please report the accounts for the day and you can review them."

Ling Xin'an said: "Okay, Master Liang, Master Xu should be preparing to go to Beijing to meet the saint, so I won't send him off."

Watching the two people leave, Duan Qing said from the side: "Sir, is this appropriate?"

Ling Xin'an said: "So what if it's inappropriate? Do you think I can find out anything if I go to the Salt Road Division and follow the Holy Master's instructions? It will only make them more defensive."

Duan Qing said: "Sir, they may also read your book."

Ling Xin'an shook her head: "They won't. Just take the matter of refined salt. They can put my name in it and say that I discovered and provided the ideas. They have improved the method. From this point of view, I know that they are afraid."

Duan Qing was confused: "Sir, are they afraid that the Holy Emperor will investigate this matter and find out that they did not improve it?"

"That's just one reason, they're afraid of other people."

Duan Qing thought for a while and nodded: "The temple and the world are also in danger."

Ling Xin'an agreed: "They understand that they have stayed in the Salt Daosi Division for too long, nearly twenty years. If it hadn't been for the advent of refined salt this time, I guess the emperor would have never heard of these two people."

Duan Qing heard the words and said with a smile: "Sir, you are really right. How could the Holy Emperor pay attention to this small salt road department in the state capital?"

"The two of them pulled me on board, but they were just completely tied together. Therefore, if you are as smart as the two of them, as long as you pass the test in front of the Holy Master, it will be fine. Sooner or later, I will be back in one month or three months."

The two people are very strange. Ling Xin'an and Duan Qing are more than ten years apart in age, but the tone of their conversation is more like Ling Xin'an being more mature than Duan Qing.

Duan Qing said: "What about the work of the Salt Road Department here?"

Ling Xin'an thought for a while and said: "Let's take a look first and then send it to the house. If there are no problems, you can send it back to them. Remember to keep every data."

Duan Qing nodded: "Yes, sir."

…

In the following days, Ling Xin'an received the sales data from the Salt and Road Department every evening. The person who came was a thin man about forty years old. He handed the account book to Ling Xin'an politely and politely, and stood there.

Answer carefully.

The master's name is Liu Yuanzong, and the person who can make Liang and Xu feel so reassured is obviously their confidant.

After Ling Xin'an read it, she gave the account book to Duan Qing in front of Liu Yuanzong, who wrote it according to it, stamped it with the official seal and asked Liu Yuanzong to take the account book back.

Everything was so clear that Liu Yuanzong could see clearly. He could not find any flaws in Ling Xin'an, just as Ling Xin'an could not find any faults in him. Liang and Xu, who were on their way to Beijing, received Liu Yuanzong's letter.

After the secret report, I finally put down the heavy stone in my heart and concentrated on my journey.

It's another new day. Ling Xin'an's face is covered with sweat and her upper body is exposed. Her body, which was thin and weak before, now has clear muscles. Although it is not as explosive and beautiful as a thick man like Sun Wu, Ling

Xin'an's body also has the beauty of proportion.

His body quickly dodged, and then he looked for space and slashed at Sun Wu. At this time, he no longer looked like he was being beaten sideways by Sun Wu, and he could finally fight back properly.

Until the two of them lay down exhausted, Ling Xin'an was stabbed two hundred times.

At this time, the strength in Sun Wu's hand quietly increased to 500 kilograms.

Facing the adults' progress, apart from Shuang'er, the happiest person was Sun Wu. Lu Fengxian was also very excited that day, but he was not qualified to be trained by the adults yet.

Ling Xin'an gasped and pointed at Sun Wuda: "You did that last stab on purpose. You promised not to slap me in the face, but you had to slap me in the face."

Sun Wu quickly smiled and said: "Sir, I was unable to stop my humble duty for a moment. It was definitely not intentional."

Ling Xin'an said: "One day, I will take it back."

Sun Wu and Shuang'er Lu Fengxian were busy snickering on the sidelines.

"Fengxian, Sun Wu, you will go to a place with me after noon."

"Yes, sir."

It was still the same in the morning, sitting in the courtroom and dealing with some trivial matters of the people. After lunch, Ling Xin'an changed into casual clothes and went out.

The three of them rode horses. It was Ling Xin'an's first time riding, but after more than three months of living, although riding was unfamiliar to him, it was not completely incompetent.

The three of them walked out of the city gate, Ling Xin'an said: "Do you know how to get to Wangjia Village?"

Sun Wudao: "Sir, I know, I will lead the way."

So the three of them rode horses, and in less than an hour, Ling Xin'an saw a small village in the distance. The village was not big and well-proportioned. Before they entered the village, they heard chickens and dogs chatting.

When the three figures appeared in the village, Ling Xin'an discovered that except for the domestic dogs barking at them, there was no one in the entire village.

"Where are the people?" Ling Xin'an frowned and continued walking inside until they came to a pine tree. The three of them saw an old man lying under the tree to rest.

Ling Xin'an bowed forward and asked, "Excuse me, father-in-law, why is there no one in this village?"

When the old man saw Ling Xin'an and the others, he said calmly: "They have all gone to the fields to plant crops!"

"Where are the children in the village?" Ling Xin'an looked at the old man's clothes and asked.

"We went to the ground together!"

Ling Xin'an then found a place to sit down and said, "If you don't mind, I can sit here and wait."

The old man nodded, said nothing, closed his eyes and continued to rest.
