The queen slowly walked back to the table and sat down, as if she was worried about the matter, but she still said: "Tang Zheng and Chen Feng wrote a letter together, saying that they were confident of eating Suqian, but it took half a year. It seemed that Tang Zheng wanted to engage in an economic war, first conquering the civilians of Suqian with economic war, and then sending troops to kill the county garrisons in Suqian."

Everyone in the study looked at each other and pondered about the possibility of success. Military advisor Han Tu suddenly said, "I had heard the word economic war back then. It was said that the little master taught me the unique skills of the world. It seemed that this method of war was extremely amazing. The little master highly praised it in his words."

The queen nodded, suddenly glanced at everyone, and said with a deep meaning: "There are no outsiders present, they are all fans of the Great Zhou. You also know that I am pretending to be my mother. My mother was sad and she was unwilling to come out of the mountain. But she often sent letters and taught me endlessly... What is the saying of economic war? I will write to my mother for advice. If Tang Zheng really succeeds, we will learn from his economic war in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Tang Wudi and others nodded quickly, because they all looked respectful and admirable on their faces when they heard the name of the little master.

The patriarchs of those aristocratic families also had admiration on their faces, but this worship was obviously only aimed at the queen's mother, the little master.

Among them, the patriarch of the Kong family suddenly spoke out and said with a serious expression: "Tang Zheng, I think this person is not worthy of use."

The queen turned her eyes and stared at him and said, "Captain Kong, you are a great scholar. The juniors of the Kong family can impeach others because of jealousy, but you, a great scholar with a common mind, cannot be jealous."

...

The head of the tribe Kong slowly stood up and shook his head and said, "I don't hate Tang Zheng, but on the contrary I admire his skills very much, but it is precisely because of my appreciation that I suggest not to reuse it."

The queen was slightly stunned and frowned and asked, "Why is this?"

The leader of the Kong clan paused and said solemnly: "There is nothing else, but a hero."

As he said that, he glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This son is not old, but he has his own style and seems to be unreasonable. He thought deeply but found that everything is full of profound meaning..."

Speaking of this, he looked at everyone again and said in a deep voice: "For example, how profitable he made in the persimmon industry, he returned 50% of the money he made to the people. This is an act of inviting to buy fame and his intention is self-evident. For example, he incited soldiers to fight against each other, rather than 300 people than 500 people. This is to ensure that his subordinates are all loyal soldiers... He subdued the salt gang and recruited new soldiers. When training, everyone must shout his name frantically. Every move highlights his existence. This is undoubtedly a heroic skill. He has been building his own private soldiers..."

After saying that, the leader Kong sighed and said with emotion: "This young man is amazing. I am not a jealous person. I don't care that the younger generation in my family has a grudge against him. The reason why I proposed not to reuse him is because I am afraid that this child will be too old in the future."

This is a person who is a polite person in the old city and has no selfishness in his words. In fact, being invited by the queen to participate in top-level deliberations means that the leader of the Confucius clan was a supporter of the Great Zhou court.

His proposal was paved with precise analysis and insights. Everyone present nodded frequently, and even Tang Wudi and Li Huaiyun could not refute it.

The queen was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke quietly, saying, "Don't I know he was engaged in private soldiers? But I really couldn't make a decision. You all know that my mother had a biological son, although it might not be Tang Zheng, what if he was..."

Everyone was speechless.

The Queen's words also mean that she and her little lord do not seem to be their biological children.

...

Outside Langya County, Tang Zheng’s wine shop, the night breeze blows gently, and the fire crackles.

This is the side hall of the wine shop. A group of people are gathering next to the stove to cook fire. An iron pestle was mounted on the stove, and a huge wild goat was strung on it.

The fire was burning, and the wild goats were baked, and the rich meat fragrance continued to overflow with the fat. The person responsible for roasting the wild goats was Chen Feng, the magistrate of Guanyun County.

Tang Zheng had another plan. He was rubbing a large piece of dough hard, and the dough was round and flattened in his hands, and from time to time he threw it heavily on the case, making a crisp sound of banging.

"Brother Tang, how long will you have to wait?"

Chen Feng suddenly turned his head, asked Tang Zheng with a smile, and complained, "I was scared by you during the day. I was frightened and couldn't eat all day. I'm hungry and very uncomfortable now. When will you be able to eat the cut noodles you brag about?"

Tang Zheng laughed and said with a hint: "It's not too late or too early, it's just right now..."

As he said that, he threw the dough heavily, then quickly kneaded it and picked it up. Anu, who was in charge of the thug next to him, jumped and jumped to the edge of a big pot with Tang Zheng.

The one responsible for the fire was actually the little lord. It was obvious that she had never burned the fire. She was coughing continuously at this time, and her pretty face was stained with a lot of ashes.

Tang Zheng laughed out loud and quipped, "The princess is covered in dust. Look at what you look like like this? Hurry up and give the seat to Anu. You are obviously not a ingredient to cook..."

"I don't!"

The little lord was a little nervous and refused loudly, "I have learned that I don't need Anu. This is my business, no one can steal it."

As he said that, he subconsciously opened his hands and protected the firewood beside him from letting Annu go there.

Not far away, Chen Feng suddenly sighed softly. He knew that the junior sister was competing for a certain position with Anu, but as his senior brother, he could not help.

There were two county magistrates Bo and Pan General who were roasting fire around the stove. Seeing this, they looked a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

This meal tonight was really terrifying. Two major county magistrates took the initiative, one roasted lamb and the other made noodles. The princess was responsible for the fire and Anu served as the helper.

The two major county officials said that this was a family dinner, and their subordinates were really scared to sit there.

Fortunately, the little lord finally sorted out the firewood under the big pot. Soon the boiling water in the big pot was rolling. Tang Zheng quickly picked up a kitchen knife and quickly cut the dough in his hand.

He has good skills. His cut noodles are like raindrops. Anu, who is responsible for the work, brought a large basket of wild vegetable roots and poured them all into the pot.

Tang Zheng said while cutting: "It is difficult to eat vegetables in the cold winter season. In fact, the cut noodles with vegetables are the most delicious, but where can I eat vegetables at this time? We have to thank Anu, who dug a large basket of wild vegetable roots."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "It's good to have vegetable roots, it tastes refreshing. To be honest, I'm a little envious of Brother Tang. You have wild vegetables to dig in Langya County, but I can't even find bark in Guanyun County..."

As he said that, he seemed a little bored, he suddenly changed his words and said, "Miss Anu is good. He actually dug a large basket of wild vegetables."

Anu was a little shy and rubbed the corners of her clothes shyly and said, "I didn't dig it alone. The sisters in the workshop helped a lot. We searched in the wild for a long time, and more than a dozen people barely got together this basket."

Tang Zheng's face suddenly looked a little bad, and he sighed: "After the spring of next year, you have to organize land and farming, and if you continue like this, the people of Langya County will never be full."

Chen Feng suddenly stood up and said with a bright look: "Brother, can we discuss it? I, Guanyun County, are willing to divide half of the sea salt output. I just want you to open more wastelands and have a variety of grains. I will buy sea salt to help the people of Guanyun."

Tang Zheng looked at him and said with a little contempt: "You can only get more salt from Guanyun County by God's reward. How much can you get in the end of a year? You can exchange salt for food, but you can think of it..."

Chen Feng's face was gloomy and sighed: "It's a little bit, it's a little bit. It can always reduce the number of people who starve to death. Brother Tang, you don't know. The land in Guanyun County is surprisingly poor. The people are working hard to farm, but for some reason, the food always doesn't grow..."

"No, it's weird that saline-alkali land can grow things!"

Tang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to grow grain, you have to wash the floor first, wash away all the salt and alkali in the land, and then you can cultivate crops and grow crops."

Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but jump to the edge of the pot, and shouted anxiously: "Wash the floor? What is this? Brother Tang, Lord Tang, Mr. Tang, I... I want you to give me advice..."

Obviously, Chen Feng is really good. He is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. When he heard that there was a good way to clean the fields and farm, he was excited and changed several titles in succession.

Tang Zheng suddenly sighed and said a little boredly: "Wall cleaning is a big project, and it cannot be completed overnight. First, you have to dig rivers and can drain the rivers, so that fresh water in the inland rivers can continuously wash away the saline-alkali land, and then organize the civilians to dig out silt fields in the river. It will take at least three years. Even if this is the case, it is still impossible to cultivate, and the land will have to be exposed to the sun for two years before it can be used."

Chen Feng's eyes dimmed instantly, and he said with disappointment: "Wouldn't that take five years? How many ordinary people will starve to death in five years..."

He sighed dejectedly and walked back to the bonfire toast the wild goats. The officials of the two counties sitting around the fire looked at each other, holding their breath for a moment and did not dare to make a sound.

Tang Zheng cut the dough with one knife and another, and various thoughts kept flashing in his mind. He suddenly said, "Let's do this, you and my counties are brothers. I can set aside ten thousand acres of barren land for you. Next year, you will organize civilians to open up land and farm. Ten thousand acres can produce a lot of grain."

Chen Feng was immediately overjoyed and couldn't help but jump up again, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Tang, you can't repent this. I'll curse my mother if I lose one acre."

Tang Zheng chuckled, saying that he would never regret what he said.

However, he immediately made his request and said solemnly: "But this ten thousand acres of barren land cannot be given for free. Guanyun County wants to exchange for 10,000 acres of beaches with me. I am planning to build an artificial salt factory. Try not to rely on God to get sea salt himself..."

Chen Feng was startled, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted: "You have the method to dry salt, you must have the method to dry cigarettes?"

He ignored the dignity of the county magistrate, stepped forward and grabbed Tang Zheng's arm, and shouted anxiously: "I'll give you 20,000 acres, and I'll take me one. Lord Tang, please."

In ancient times, salt and iron were huge profits. Unfortunately, the ancients did not know how to dry salt. The production of sea salt depends entirely on the sky, and the harvest is naturally crystallized salt grains. It was not until the Song Dynasty that there was a shallow salt drying technology, but the sea salt produced was still unable to be supplied nationwide.

Now Tang Zheng wants 10,000 acres of beaches, and Chen Feng immediately speculated that Tang Zheng must have a way to dry salt.
