Meng Huo shuddered: "Thank you for reminding me. I almost made a big mistake."

Xi patted Meng Huo on the shoulder: "My sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy safely. Why don't you go home and take a look?"

Meng Huo said goodbye again and again and returned to the west of the stream with a large number of rare things.

Many fish saw Meng Huo's anxious look and did not stop him because the army was approaching the city!
At first, he was uneasy and took the first step with only two guards. Baya and other [-] Ba people followed closely in the second echelon, and Wang Jian led the large army at the end.

Now, they are finally coming back!
Hu Feizi supported his sick body and worked with Han Fei to help many fish organize the army.

After receiving the reward, the Pakistani soldiers returned home.

The remaining Qin soldiers entered the captain's camp, and the original border guards were replaced when needed, and eliminated when needed.

Even so, many fish hands still have 2 guards under their command, which is twice the original number of guards!
"It's been a hard journey. I'll take three days off to allow the soldiers to adapt to the Bashu environment. After three days, we will train as usual!" Many fish said to Wang Jian.

"Here!"

The Qin soldiers were afraid of being beaten by the barbaric Ba people and did not dare to act alone, so they chose to go together in twos and threes.

The city wall of Fucheng is slightly dilapidated and not as tall and strong as the military fortress. There are a few weeds growing sparsely on the yellow city wall.

The houses in the city, ranging from shacks to tall brick houses, are scattered haphazardly.

But the streets are as clean as those in Xianyang. Some of the pedestrians on the road are shirtless and some wearing Ba people's clothes. The patrolling prison gates and others ignore them.

The atmosphere of the entire city is dilapidated yet noisy, clean yet relaxing. It is different from any other city in the Qin Dynasty and has its own unique atmosphere.

"What are they doing? Why are they queuing up in front of the house?" The Qin soldiers soon discovered that there was a small house every 1000 meters in the city. Many people were still queuing there with their legs crossed and their faces red from holding back. .

The brave Qin soldiers came forward and asked, "What are you doing? If you have any urgent needs, just go find a bush and solve them."

The man turned around angrily and saw that the inquirer was wearing Qin armor. He calmed down and said, "You just came? The county captain has an order not to defecate in the open."

Hiss!

"I originally thought that General Xu was only strict in the army, but I didn't expect that the same is true in the county!"

"It's my villain's heart that judges the gentleman's belly! I thought General Xu was deliberately tormenting us, but it turns out it's customary!"

The Qin soldiers showed sympathy and hurried away before the person who answered was embarrassed.

"I asked, there is a market in the city, and there is also one in the mountains. Which one should we go to first?" The Qin soldiers brought almost nothing and continued to replenish supplies.

"I don't dare to go to the mountains, I just wander around the city."

"Come along!"

The market in Fucheng is located in the west of the city. It is a wide open space. It is modeled on the market in the mountains. It is divided into nine squares and everything is in order.

Because it is located in the city, only five soldiers are stationed in the market to maintain public order.

"Come on, there are so many mountain treasures! Fresh ones!" Qin Zu pointed at a pile of mushrooms and shouted.

He is a native of Xianyang. The surrounding areas of Xianyang are highly developed and it is rare to find wild and fresh mountain delicacies.

"They are sold cheaply. These mushrooms only need to be added with a little salt, and they taste delicious!" the vendor introduced enthusiastically.

Just when Qin Zu was about to pay, he was pulled away by his companion: "Go and see the others first. Don't be so impatient. If you don't find out clearly, if you are tricked, where will you go to complain?"

Qin Zu looked at the pile of fungi reluctantly.

"Look! Salt!" The companion found a salt seller.

"The well salt from the west of Jian River! The best quality, protected by our ancestors!"

When Qin Zu asked about the price, he found it was less than half of the official price! "Are you a private person?"

The salt seller was unhappy: "I have a salt certificate issued by the government! You are the one selling private salt!"

"Then why..."

"Do you want to buy it or not? If you don't want to buy it, don't ask so many questions!" The salt seller wanted to wave away people.

"Buy! Of course I have to buy it!" The Qin soldiers' eyes were shining, and they were buying from small jars to small jars, as if it was a big bargain.

The salt seller frowned: "Why did you buy so much? If it is not stored well, the salt is easy to get wet and clump! Bashu is not like the Central Plains and has very hot flashes."

Qin soldiers' hands were beaten, and those who could survive on the battlefield listened to the advice, especially the local people's advice.

"Shan, thank you so much, father-in-law!"

The Qin soldiers tied the clay pots filled with salt to their chests and stopped visiting the market. They simply bought a bag of mushrooms and returned to the military camp.

At this time, the military camp was crowded and extremely lively.

"What are you doing?" The little Qin soldiers squeezed into the crowd and saw four or five clerks holding brushes sitting in front of a long table. Their colleagues were talking to them one by one.

"Aweng, I'm short of money. Please send me some money quickly. How is the land at home? Is my wife about to give birth? Just give the baby a name."

The clerk looked helplessly at the nagging soldier in front of him, and after he finished speaking, he said, "There are many people sending letters home. Please make your language more concise, and give each person a cross."

"Ah Weng, send money. Name your grandson. Don't read it."

The clerk brushed a few strokes: "Next one."

"Wife, I can't return home, so I will remarry with my son." This is a pessimistic Qin pawn who firmly believes that he will bury his bones in Bashu, and only hopes that his wife can treat his children well.

His words made the people in line behind him blush and feel depressed.

The little Qin soldier squeezed in and asked the clerk: "Can I write more words if I pay more? Can I bring anything with me?"

Clerk: "Yes. Bashu is far away from Xianyang, so it is difficult to send letters home. So we are here to help you send letters."

"Free within a cross, and ten coins per word. Objects are limited to the size of a small clay pot, worth a hundred coins."

The price is not cheap, but the soldiers can't find any fellow villagers to return home, not to mention the cross is free.

The little Qin Zu calculated the account with his fingers, and then said with gleaming eyes: "I want to send a clay pot! The letter says: Well salt is given to parents, don't miss it if they are safe."

After that, the little Qin Zu counted hundreds of coins and patted them on the table.

The Qin soldiers around him couldn't believe it: "Are you crazy? Are you sending salt all the way home?"

"No matter how precious the salt is, it won't be like this!"

"This hundred cents shipping fee can buy a lot of good things!"

The colleague who went to the market with him explained: "He is not stupid! The well salt in Bashu is indeed very cheap! There is no limit, buy whatever you want!"

The clerk nodded: "That's true. This time our group is sending family letters, and the county captain has been reported to the Prime Minister of Qin. If you deliver it alone, you are suspected of selling illicit salt!"

"Wait for me! I'll be right back!"

"And me, I'll buy a jar of salt first..."

The salt merchants in Fucheng looked at each other, what happened?Why is there a sales peak in the city's salt industry?
Many fish hide their merit and fame. What 3 sergeants bring is more than just an increase in military strength?It will also drive local consumption and the circulation of copper coins!
