Retired Life of Demon Sect Leader
Chapter 59
"The purpose of the imperial court to control salt is to prevent salt from becoming commercial goods. Once such necessities become goods, they are purchased by some bad rich people and monopolized in large quantities, which is easy to form the beginning of domestic disaster. Therefore, salt is destined not to be used for commerce openly and can not be sold directly. Therefore, the imperial court had to privately fund one The smuggling caravans let them sell salt to the western regions at a lower price by smuggling. On the one hand, they met the needs of the queen of Loulan, and on the other hand, they continued to maintain the prestige that official salt is a monopoly. "
"Support smuggling... Is this the so-called grey means..." whispered Yixue.
"Judging from the results, there is nothing wrong with this. The 36 countries in the western regions can buy necessities at a more reasonable price, the living conditions of their citizens have been greatly improved, and at least most of the population can eliminate diseases caused by lack of salt. In the Central Plains, official salt is still official salt, and no one can think of it to make a big profit and stabilize the national conditions. More importantly, the formation of the Central Plains and the western regions A friendly relationship of mutual benefit and mutual assistance reduces the possibility of war and loss of life. You can imagine how many lives these smugglers have actually saved? "
Imagine from this point of view, Yixue found that she was in a much better mood. Although the father emperor secretly acquiesced in the smuggling of official salt by a group of smugglers, it was for the sake of the country and helped the 36 countries in the western regions to lack salt. Generally speaking, it was a good thing.
"So president Dong knows the origin of the Jingsha Gang, so he knows that there are these smugglers who smuggle official salt and doesn''t arrest them," Jiang Chen concluded.
"That''s right. Anyone who can call out the whale sand Gang knows the origin of the whale sand gang."
"What about what you don''t know?" the wind asked curiously.
"If you don''t know, just call that desert ''death desert''." Meiqian smiled.
"Why?" listening to the wind is like a curious baby. The more questions you ask, the more curious you ask, "what''s the relationship between the death desert and the whale sand Gang?"
"The desert of death was not called the desert of death at first. In the western regions, its name literally translates to ''Taklimakan desert'', which means'' the great desert under the mountain ''. This desert is very large, and inexperienced people will die if they go in. But it doesn''t mean that the desert can''t pass through. Later, the whale sand Gang hid in the Taklimakan Desert in order to keep their life The secret is that those who go in and see them have been killed by them. Over time, it has become the name of the death desert. Therefore, those who know their existence will say that the whale sand gang. Those who do not know their existence only believe in the evil name of the death desert. "
"They dare to kill innocent people?" Yixue began to worry again.
"Since the silk road is convenient for people to travel along, and in order to make friends with the western regions, our customs duties on goods from the western regions are also very low. We don''t have to risk death to go to the desert again, so few people will enter the desert casually. There are only other smugglers who need to enter the Central Plains through the desert, Or bandits and mountain bandits who dare not enter the city... Although there must be a case of killing innocent people by mistake, they also killed many beautiful smugglers you hate most. "
Yixue fell into meditation. Since she met Meiqian smile, she found that her world outlook was quietly changing.
Yixue suddenly remembered a sentence that meiqianxiao had said before, "with blood on his hands, a good man must not be able to say, but carrying a bad name is not necessarily bad to his bones. It is difficult to accurately determine whether a person is a good person or a bad person in this world".
This group of people supported by the imperial court were originally horse thieves, but now they are the people of Jingsha Gang, just like the kind described by meiqianxiao.
If it had been before, Yixue might not have accepted this good and bad existence, but now she can understand it more or less. She couldn''t tell whether it was good or bad with the change of her concept.
"Well, we can''t do anything to the Jingsha Gang this time. Since they have the backing of the imperial court, they don''t want to do anything to the envoys of the western regions," said Jiang Chen.
"Yes, they certainly won''t attack the envoys of the western regions. They didn''t dare to block the way and rob for a long time. Smuggling official salt makes a lot of money and is safe. But when they smuggle official salt, they don''t mind circulating some other goods. If someone gives money, they are willing to help others take some things back to the Central Plains to increase safe income Enter... "
"So..."
"So we''re not going to uproot the Jingsha Gang this time. We''re just going to find out if they''ve helped anyone smuggle something we''re looking for recently."
"I understand." Jiang Chen smiled. "I also understand why the commander appointed you as vice captain. Your strategy is worth relying on!"
No, it''s just that you have little brain and knowledge and your life is too happy. If you also live a day of being chased by different forces every day, you can not only increase your knowledge, but also increase your IQ.
"I don''t understand why you are so enthusiastic about the case." Yixue said suddenly.
"Because I don''t allow anything to stop me from eating and waiting for the death pension plan!" Meiqian smiled and jumped up and said angrily, "even the unlucky Prince of Wusun country doesn''t allow it!"
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard the wind and leaning on snow. What a tasteless life plan. It''s really a pity that he can speak out with a thousand smiles! I''m afraid this product is trying to give advice for fear of more trouble later!
Early the next morning, just before dawn, Jiang Chen awakened everyone... No, there are two kinds of people who can''t wake up, one is called pretending to sleep, and the other is called eyebrow qianxiao, a shameless lazy person.
Until the sun completely lifted the veil of darkness, the sky was as blue as the sea at dawn, and the light shed by the sun fell on the buildings and ground of the ancient city, reflecting the golden lazy brilliance. Meiqianxiao woke up after two water sprinkling festivals such as Jiang Chen and others.
"The sleeping trough, our guest room is leaking, so we have to find someone to make up..."
When Mei qianxiao got up, he murmured this sentence vaguely.
Originally, she leaned against the snow angrily at the guy who had no sense of time, but when she saw him vaguely and whispering silly words, she became angry and funny. I don''t know why she still felt that he looked a little cute like a big child who didn''t wake up.
When meiqianxiao finished washing, Jiang Chen was full for breakfast.
"How can you shout people to get up like this? No wonder I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that I had been pressed under the waterfall to flush... Later, the sheets had to be taken out to dry. When my colleagues in the sub station saw me, they thought I was so big and wet the bed. What should I do! You compensate me for my reputation!"
"Brother Xiao, since you disclosed your life plan, you have no reputation." Liu quietly took out a breakfast left for meiqianxiao. Just now she went to buy breakfast. She secretly bought an extra mutton bun. Originally, Jiang Chen and they agreed not to buy it for him. "Besides, I had called you to get up by conventional means at the beginning, but you just didn''t wake up."
"Also said! I can''t wake up because of you! I and the coachman have been driving in shifts for three days and three nights without closing their eyes many times. I just arrived at Dunhuang city yesterday. You took me to visit Dunhuang City in the morning. In the afternoon, I was photographed to go to the morgue for autopsy. I have to accompany you to have a snack at night. Is it easy to laugh? Don''t you hurt me for lack of sleep!"
"I said I would help you drive by turns. You don''t want to ask if you would accompany me to Dunhuang. You said you would take me to eat the best mutton steamed bun and accompany you to the morgue. You don''t want you to be lazy and sleep in the afternoon. At night, you remind me of the night I had forgotten..." Liu quietly broke off his lovely and delicate white fingers and responded to the accusations of eyebrows and smiles one by one.
Yes, yes! Brother is such a pet sister crazy devil! Let me be proud and charming and die, right! Must we expose brother''s cold-blooded and arrogant image in front of so many people! Meiqian smiled and said nothing. He stuffed his mouth with mutton bun.
Liu whispered that the sweeter the smile, because the more he said, the more he could prove that brother Xiao was unique to her, as if he had received the best glory in the world.
But there are always some people who don''t understand amorous feelings
Jiang Chen listened to the wind and leaning on the snow and came over one after another. He quietly protected Liu behind him. He whispered something to her. He only heard a few key words: "abnormal", "fag", "Longyang addiction", "disordered private life may have hidden diseases" and "brother Chen is also the victim".
Let them shout a few words. Brother Chen, please lie down where it''s cool! I think his meow is the victim, okay! Didn''t you explain that it was a misunderstanding! And it''s all misunderstandings quietly made by Liu!
"Listen, if you dare to sneak your hand at Liu, you can go to your favorite morgue and lie there all your life from the next day." leaning on Xue coldly smiled at her eyebrows and warned, just like the leopard protecting its cubs whispering a warning to the enemies in the sky.
"OK, you can do whatever you say. If you don''t start, I''ll go back to make up my sleep!" Mei qianxiao put all MMP in her heart, squeezed out a smile to wish everyone good health, and slowly swallowed the consequences of complaining.
