"What? Wait, General, do you mean that this 11,000 catties of salt is going to be eaten by this army of nearly 40,000 people? And you have to eat for half a year? Duan Shaojun was shocked, the mud Ma was completely shocked, the messy wind was no longer enough to describe the mood at the moment, you know, an adult's physiological need for salt a day is two grams.

40,000 people, the salt needed for a day is 160 catties, and nearly 5,000 catties of salt are needed in a month, which is only 10,000 catties of salt, and if you want to survive for six months, aren't these sisters joking?

"The lack of salt naturally requires you, the long history, to find a way to raise it. Originally, Ben Shuai shouldn't have said much, but your usage like this is really nonsense...... That's all, think about it yourself. Speaking of which, Li Youwen patted her ass and flashed people.

Before leaving, he glanced at Chen Senjun slightly, and after seeing that Chen Senjun was very understanding and slightly bowed, the corners of General Li's mouth rose briskly, Xiaoxiao, do you think my Zuo Yu Lin Wei is so easy to stay?

The matter of military rations, even if you solve it well, what can you do about it? It just so happens that Zhao Linfu's old thing is looking for trouble with Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai is looking for trouble with you.

Duan Shaojun was stupid in place. He didn't even pay attention to General Li who left the account, and the broad-minded General Li was satisfied at the moment, and he didn't bother to pay attention to such a subsection.

And after Duan Shaojun was stupid for a long time, he gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh, damn! This little lady didn't hear that her new long history was coming, so she hurriedly took the salt and sold it, right?

"You guys, come over to the officials." Duan Shaojun anxiously called a group of subordinates and asked about the salt reserves last month, only to know that Li Youwen did not deliberately embarrass herself, but salt and iron, these two things, have been extremely urgent and tense materials since ancient times.

Otherwise, why would there be a copy of the "Treatise on Salt and Iron" that has been handed down to posterity, instead of "The Treatise on Gold and Silver" or "The Treatise on Glass"? It is because these two materials are not only the daily needs of the people, but also important materials for the military.

Chen Mou, who joined the army, explained helplessly. "Two months ago, 40,000 catties of salt should have arrived in Yunzhou, but after arriving, I found that among the 40,000 catties of salt, in addition to 15,000 catties of military salt, the remaining 25,000 catties of salt are salt powder at all, how can people eat this thing?"

"The general sent a letter to reprimand, but the local officials thought that there were bandits in the salt farm, so there was not much salt, and the salt obtained in each border town was a part of the military salt, and there was also the salt ore powder that those animals would get sick if they ate it......"

Duan Shaojun couldn't help but gasp and raised his eyebrows. "Who dares to be so bold that even the salt of the border army dares to be so fake?"

"It's not a fake, a few days ago, there was indeed a bandit in that area, killing and injuring many people, making people panic, and the salt farm was delayed for a lot of time, but it didn't come to such a point. But he said so and did so, not only the general, but also several generals complained frequently, but they couldn't do anything. ”

"The general reported to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven could only issue an order to reprimand and urge the salt works to ensure the supply of the border army, but he couldn't be too embarrassed." Speaking of this, Chen Senjun also glanced at Duan Shaojun. The assassin history of the state and county where the salt field is located is Zhao Linfu's hardcore henchman.

If it weren't for that guy taking the opportunity to embarrass the general, how could such a thing happen, anyway, he Zhao Linfu and the general were not in harmony, and the people below were naturally dogs and people, and they made such a show by taking advantage of the trouble.

"Where do I need to buy this salt?" Duan Shaojun asked with a wrinkled face and a bitter look.

"You need to go to the salt factory to buy it, but the problem is that it costs money to buy salt. Moreover, I don't know if the salt works are willing to sell salt privately to our border army. Chen Senjun smashed his mouth, glanced at Duan Shaojun, and said with a serious look.

"Nonsense, can I still take someone to rob it?" Duan Shaojun glanced at this blind guy angrily. "If you don't sell it to the border army, can I buy it as a makeup merchant, but the question is what about money?"

Of course, Chen Senjun would not say that the general had raised almost 10,000 yuan to buy salt during this time, but looked like a clever daughter-in-law who was embarrassed to cook without rice, and sighed and said: "Money, there is no ......"

"Uh, huh? What do you say, no? How do you let me buy it if I don't have money? Duan Shaojun jumped directly in front of Chen Shenjun, who was about to have a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and roared angrily. Why don't you buy it yourself. ”

"Changshi, please calm your anger, it's not that the lower official asked you to go, and I didn't say that you have to go, it's just that the general has an order, let Changshi raise military salt. It really has nothing to do with the lower officials......" Chen Senjun looked at Duan Shaojun with an innocent look on his face, and he was so angry that his handsome face was faintly deformed, and he was secretly happy in his heart, he deserved it, and let you people from the capital come to fight our general's bad idea.

This time this time, it happens to be Zhao Linfu who is calculating the general, and you happen to be sent by Zhao Linfu to my Zuo Yu Linwei to make trouble, if you don't find trouble, can you still find trouble with others?

Duan Shaojun is really a little annoyed, Nima, is Changshi a trickster or a monkey? Do you want my brother to perform a dance god in this camp, and then beg my father to sue my grandmother for the donation to buy salt?

But the problem is that others don't know, but Duan Shaojun knows very well that he has a relationship with that Zhao Linfu, and that guy even dares to make a mess with the military salt of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang. So even if you really use the money to buy it, how much can you buy?

After all, salt and iron are official camps, as long as the top does not nod, only a few will flow out in private. Each province and each border town has strict rules on the share of salt purchases.

What should I do? Duan Shaojun grinned and thought for a long time, unable to think of a solution to the current dilemma. Although Duan Shaojun knew very well that Li Youwen, the little girl, was deliberately embarrassing herself, she was embarrassed by official business, and she really had no way to be a scoundrel.

"Chen joins the army, you take this official to the salt warehouse to see what's going on." After thinking about it for a long time, Duan Shaojun decided to go to the field to understand the situation first before drawing conclusions. If Li Youwen really doesn't fool herself, then find a way to solve it.

After arriving at the place, Duan Shaojun finally saw the salt eaten by the soldiers for the first time, and couldn't help but lie down in a big groove. Damn, can this be called salt? Is this mud horse sure to be salt?

The salt color of the salt, slightly earthy yellow, rests under the nose and smells, there will be a strange and earthy smell. When he saw Counselor Chen nodding with great affirmation, and told Duan Shaojun that this kind of salt was used to make instant noodles, Duan Shaojun was almost messy in the wind.

I'm afraid this thing is not much better than the industrial salt of later generations. It's not even as good as that, and when Duan Shaojun saw the salt powder, he sniffed the strong pungent smell. I feel like I've walked into a chemical and biological weapons manufacturing plant.

Quickly covered his mouth and nose. "Why are you still keeping these things, waiting to be sold?"

Chen Shenjun rolled his eyes and snorted. "Changshi is wrong, although these are difficult to eat, but after all, they are also salt, when the time comes, if the salt is almost eaten, and we can't get new salt, then we can only find someone to get these salt mines to boil salt for military use."

"Although the quality of the salt I boiled out is not as good as those military salts, it can make the soldiers able to hold weapons and not be weak."

Listening to Chen Senjun's words, Duan Shaojun couldn't help but fall into silence, he couldn't imagine that it would be like this. Frowning tightly, Duan Shaojun said. "When I was in Jiangnan in the past, the salt I ate was white and slightly green, and the quality was quite good, why is the salt here dull in color?"

Chen Senjun glanced at Duan Shaojun, and shook his head lightly helplessly, he really deserves to be the noble son of a rich family, it is simply "The people have no corn to satisfy their hunger, why don't they eat minced meat?" "The best example, the disgust for Duan Shaojun in my heart has added a little more." Changshi is in a rich family, food, clothing, housing and transportation, naturally all fine, the color is white and slightly green, the quality is quite good, and there must be no earthy smell, right? That kind of salt, called green salt, is the best of the salt, how can we get it? ”
