The streets are very lively. It can be seen that the people here live in peace. People of different skin colors and races are free to do business here, shuttle back and forth, and bargain...

If war breaks out, can these people still be so comfortable?

"Is it because of the salt?" Pei Xiaoqing asked with a sigh.

Ye Qianjin took a deep look at her, and pursed her lips into a firm line: "Without salt, my people would be in trouble to survive. Salt is to people just like air and water. Dazhou is stuck in the Dachu Salt Industry."

Lifeblood, some sacrifices are done as a last resort."

Pei Xiaoqing grew up in modern times. She lacked many things, but she never lacked salt. In her opinion, salt is a necessity of life, and it is also the cheapest and most common commodity. She has never experienced what it would be like to live without salt.

days.

However, she has experienced the haze in her previous life. There are small black particles floating in the air that are difficult to see with the naked eye. When they exist in large quantities and almost occupy the space for your breathing, those small particles are toxic.

It invades the body silently, but you still have nowhere to escape, because

There are few clean skies in the country where you live. Even if your respiratory tract is sick, even if you have developed a disease due to this air, you have to continue to breathe it, because if you don’t breathe it, you will die.

In order to survive, we must face this ubiquitous toxic dust.

The Chu people who don’t have salt are probably the same as the Chinese people who live under smog.

"Perhaps there can be a better way, and it doesn't necessarily involve war." Pei Xiaoqing said.

"What's a better way? Haha, when Chu Yunxi becomes the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, you can ask him to lift the salt ban. However, by then, it is unclear whether he can still listen to you.

The emperor does not only consider the feelings of his children, he must take into account the overall situation and the interests of the Zhou Kingdom." Ye Qianjin smiled softly, but there was a touch of sarcasm in his eyes.

Pei Xiaoqing couldn't refute him. She understood the principle of seeking political power in her position. She couldn't say that it was wrong for Chu Yunxi to do that. Ye Qianjin was also the prince of the Chu Kingdom. Could it be that he would give up the national interests for the woman he loved?

No way.

While she was deep in thought, there was a burst of yelling and cursing in front of her. The merchants and hawkers on the street ran to both sides to avoid it. When she raised her eyes, she saw a group of people running fiercely on the street. Anyone who blocked the way would be whipped away.

, several passers-by who couldn't avoid him were slapped, and they didn't even dare to cry, so they could only flee quickly.

Narcissus was looking at gouache at the rouge stall in front. She couldn't avoid it for a moment and was spotted by the leader. The man's eyes suddenly widened as if he had seen a shining gold ingot. He laughed loudly: "What a beautiful little lady!"

.”

The fat and hairy hand touched the face of Narcissus. Han Shi kept guarding behind Pei Xiaoqing, and stepped forward to block the Narcissus, catching the random hairy paw.

"Hey, good boy, you dare to steal a woman from me, have you weighed your weight?" The young man looked like he was a wealthy man. When he saw that Han Shi was dressed as an outsider, he stepped forward and punched him.

Han Shi grabbed his hand and twisted it lightly, and the young man screamed.

"Are you brave enough to be rude to my Grand Administrator? Are you going to die?" The guards of the Grand Administrator swarmed up to capture Han Shi.
