On a quiet cliff somewhere, Gai Nie and Zhang Han stood side by side.
"Alas." Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh while admiring the scenery between the cliffs.
"General Zhang Han, why do you sigh like this?" Gai Nie looked unmoved and asked, his eyes still falling on the wild scenery in the dense forest in the distance, but it was not so much that he was asking.
Declarative tone.
He had already anticipated what Zhang Han was thinking.
“It’s such a remote and remote country, and the roads are difficult. It’s hard for Mr. Gai to go with us.
But for the sake of the great Qin Dynasty and the achievements of the King of Qin, I must bring my husband along with me in this move. I hope you will forgive me. If there is any blame, after the matter is completed, Zhang Han will let your husband punish you without any regrets." Zhang Han opened his mouth and looked at me.
Gai Nie said sincerely.
Playing with his own mind, although Zhang Han is not weak, he can never beat Gai Nie, so Zhang Han thought about it all the way and simply confessed all his worries here.
"The Qin State has such good generals as generals, so why worry about being unhappy?" Gai Nie glanced sideways, and his sharp sword-like eyes made Zhang Han's heart tremble, and he praised Zhang Han.
At this stage, the gap between Zhang Han and Gai Nie is still too big.
"Mr. Gai is so complimentary. Zhang Han is just a nobody, how can he bear such praise from Mr. Gai?" Hearing this, Zhang Han looked at Gai Nie and quickly declined with a bow.
"Be careful and courageous, and have a righteous mind, and you will surely achieve success in the future." Gai Nie shook his head and said calmly, but he did not feel that his words just praised Zhang Han too much.
He has always been calm, probably because he cares about the world, so he doesn't feel happy about things or sad about himself. I really don't know what kind of things can make waves in his heart.
Maybe Mount Tai collapses and the sky hangs upside down...
"Mr. Gai, according to the information received by the Shadow Secret Guard, this trip to Dongjun is likely to be extremely dangerous." Zhang Han said, with a rare look of worry on his usually calm face at this moment.
"It's about the refined salt, I wonder what's hidden in it?" Gai Nie said.
"Sir, I think the emergence of new salt has had a great impact on the old salt industry in Da Qin. In Xianyang, although the price of new salt is much higher than that of old salt, there is still an endless stream of people buying and selling it privately."
Zhang Han turned his attention to the mountain scenery and talked eloquently.
I, Zhang Han, am willing to devote my whole life to protecting this kind of scenery with birds singing and fragrance of flowers, even at the risk of physical and mental harm, even to the point of dying on the battlefield.
Gai Nie was speechless when he heard this. Both he and Zhang Han knew very well what salt meant to a country. I am afraid that no country in the world knows the importance of salt better than Qin.
"But sir, I'm afraid you don't know the real horror of this new salt." Zhang Han said.
"Oh?" Gai Nie looked calm and watched Zhang Han's performance quietly.
"According to the information I have received, these new salts are all sold by farmers, and the price of new salt sold by farmers is almost the same as that of old salt," Zhang Han said.
Hearing this, Gai Nie was slightly moved.
What does this mean? It means that the person who secretly sells new salt has mastered a salt-making method that is more advanced than all existing salt-making methods and is not high-cost!
If it can be returned to the country, it can be a sharp weapon for the Qin Dynasty, and its value is immeasurable. At the same time, this thing has the power to bless the common people!
"The salt seller was selling new salt in Dongjun, and his behavior was extremely arrogant. King Qin's eyes were as bright as a torch, how could he not notice it?
Before that, the King of Qin secretly ordered the governor of Dongjun to investigate the matter thoroughly, and then secretly sent many groups of spies and even used nets to investigate in Dongjun, but not much was found." Zhang Han reported some of the intelligence on their previous actions.
Ten told Genie.
And Gai Nie also knew very well what kind of bloodshed was hidden under the calm narrative in Zhang Han's words!
This shows that it is very likely that the other party has used some means to integrate the officialdom and civilians of the entire East County into a monolith!
Perhaps the situation may be better than Ge Nie expected. In the land of Qin, where the laws of the Shang Lord are implemented on everyone, this kind of thing cannot happen.
But things have already happened, and Genie feels that he should prepare for the worst.
Regardless of whether it is new or old salt, selling salt privately is a hugely profitable business. It is not unusual to use profits to form a large network that can cover everyone in the entire East County.
At least it's not unusual in Gai Nie's eyes.
As long as it is beneficial, people have their own courage. When he and "Shang Gongzi" returned to Qin from South Korea in the past, even Shang Gongzi would be assassinated. What would happen in this world would be strange?
"I heard that Tian Guang, the leader of the peasant family, and Tian Meng, the leader of Lieshan Hall, have been missing for a long time. Now, Tian Yan, the new leader of the peasant family Lieshan Hall, is not simple." Gai Nie said calmly.
"The authorities are confused but the onlookers are clear. Some things are really difficult to see clearly when you are in the midst of them." Zhang Han sighed. He looked at the blue sky above his head. Although the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky, he always felt that a storm was coming.
to.
Hope his feeling is wrong.
When something happens and no one knows who did it, the simplest way is to see who will be the biggest beneficiary after it happens.
Tian Guang and Tian Meng are both well-known masters. How could they disappear so silently?
Although Zhang Han didn't know exactly what happened, once he thought about it, a sense of great terror could not help but surge into his heart.
Whether it's the accident at the farm or the verification of the new salt...
However, for the Qin Dynasty, for the unification of the world, and for the peace of the troubled times, for meritorious service, or for the common people, both Zhang Han and Gai Nie were determined to give everything they had.
"Words." Gai Nie said this word silently in his mind, thinking about it.
Tian Yan and Wei Yan both had the word "yan" in their names, which made Ge Nie think a little more and try to connect them.
In fact, there are many similarities between the two people. They are both young, talented and powerful. Wei Yan once said "make a destiny for life" in Xiaoshengxian Village, and Tian Yan is also very strange.
, refined salt, that is, new salt, the value of this thing is very clear to Ge Nie. Ordinary people sell private salt at the risk of losing their heads, and they must make profits.
And if you want to make a profit, why don't you sell new salt at a higher price? Instead, sell it at a price that is almost the same as old salt?
If his weird behavior is to be combined with the feelings of the common people in the world, although it is a bit outrageous, many people
Strange, strange, all strange, strange together.
"I hope it's not him." Ganie said.
"Who is it?" Zhang Han knew that Gai Nie would never make a mistake.
"Alone." Ganie said calmly.
"What kind of person?" Zhang Han was a little confused. Who could make Gai Nie say that he hoped it wasn't him?
"A person who would be very troublesome if he were an enemy." Gai Nie said, but his tone was more worried, giving people a more sharp feeling when a sword is unsheathed.
