Fish swimming around the world

The woodcutter's eyes were a little deep and distant: "After my father left, all my thoughts about my homeland were entrusted to the princess. Every time I think about it, I feel emotional."

Jiang Fan nodded: "I heard that she has two daughters, but I don't know their father?"

The woodcutter looked a little strange and said: "There are indeed two daughters, but they are not... I don't know their father..."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "Second uncle knows?"

The woodcutter snorted loudly: "When you see her from now on, you should call her Second Sister-in-law!"

"Second sister-in-law... Huh? Huh?" Jiang Fan was dumbfounded, pointing at the woodcutter and speechless: "No, it can't be..."

The woodcutter gritted his teeth: "What's your expression? Princess Chunhua is a hero among women, how can you judge a book by its appearance!"

Seeing the fierce glare in his eyes, Jiang Fan shrank his neck, showing that he was angry.

He quickly said: "No, I don't mean that. I'm just surprised. I didn't expect that my second uncle is actually a prince-in-law."

But it's really reasonable for him to be a woodcutter. At least the age difference between the two of them is not too far apart. It would be outrageous for him to be a fisherman, although this old man has done many outrageous things...

The woodcutter's chest rose and fell for a while, and he barely suppressed his anger: "What's so surprising? I admire the princess. Although she has never been married to a matchmaker due to important events, I still regard her as a wretched wife. I have never had second thoughts in my life! Those puppets are also... I carved it from your second uncle!”

Only then did Jiang Fan understand that feelings were not the work of a fisherman, but this news was really shocking.

"I never expected that those two daughters are yours..."

The woodcutter suddenly felt a little depressed: "Oh... I have suffered so much for two children, and I have never seen me since I was a child."

The two daughters now take their mother's surname. The eldest daughter Jiang Huan is said to have weighed more than 400 kilograms and is as strong as a bear. The second daughter is named Jiang Yan, who is the exact opposite of Jiang Huan. She is as skinny as a stick and weighs less than 70 kilograms. Together they look like a bear and a pimp, with Yan being thin and the ring being fat... I can't bear to imagine it.

In fact, because of the princess's appearance, no one cared about her eldest daughter's age. It was not until she met a woodcutter by chance forty years ago that she decided to have a life-long event. Unexpectedly, the maternal bloodline had the upper hand, and the two daughters were quite unbearable to see. So much so that she is still in her thirties and has not yet gotten married.

But after all, it was his daughter. When the woodcutter mentioned her, his eyes were filled with yearning for her, and she also looked very proud.

The reason is that although these two have been together for a long time, their martial arts talents are comparable to each other, and now they can be regarded as two generals in the Luxi Jiang family.

"Do they... know who your father is?"

The woodcutter sighed and shook his head: "I've been there twice. I always looked quietly from a distance and didn't dare to be alarmed..."

Jiang Fan was about to say something when he suddenly remembered something: "Huh? Second uncle, there is news in Ji Le that your two daughters have gone out to look for someone. Could it be..."

The woodcutter was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he squeezed the ax tightly with his big hand: "Let me check your Paradise City!"

"Okay, I have the order!"

——

This is Jiang Fan's second time coming to Nanluze. Four years have passed and the environment here has changed dramatically.

In the past, Nanluze was just a salt marsh with a radius of hundreds of miles, with almost no grass growing. Not even the herdsmen of King Zuo Xian visited it, and it was a wild scene everywhere.

But now, although the surroundings are still desolate, earth-shaking changes have taken place inside Nanluze.

Hundreds of huge salt ponds are running day and night, tens of thousands of salt workers work hard every day, and nearly a thousand horse-drawn carriages are transported back and forth every day, making this place a busy scene. To ensure safety, the Zhenbei Army even deployed an army of 50,000 people to garrison here. Warehouses, factories, barracks and dormitories covering an area of ​​millions of square meters make this place look like a small city without walls.

Under the joint development of King Zuo Xian and Jiang Fan, this place has become the largest biogas salt production base in the world, and its output is even five times greater than the total of other salt producing areas in Qin.

But you must know that the Qin State was originally the largest salt producer among the five countries, second only to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the sea salt country. After the birth of Nanluze, it had left the Jin Dynasty ten streets behind. Coupled with the refined salt refining technology that others did not have, Qin has become the world's largest salt industry. Now, Nanluze alone can spend 60% of it on external marketing while meeting Qin's own needs.

Nanluze refined salt is unique in the world. These white as snowflakes, as pure as ice crystals, healthy and non-toxic treasures, deservedly surpass the rough salt, becoming the best-selling and most precious necessities of life in the world today, bringing endless wealth to Daqin. . South Luze, a once desolate place, has naturally become a veritable platinum place.

There are two main sales channels for the refined salt produced in Nanluze. First, it was transported to the five countries and even southern Xinjiang through the Lishan channel in exchange for massive gold and silver goods. Second, through the marketing of grasslands by King Zuo Xian and the Royal Court of the Golden Horde, the barbarian war horses, furs, and livestock were exchanged for these white powders and transported to Da Qin, becoming one of the most important sources of supplies in Da Qin. Refined salt and other Lishan industries are making the Qin treasury more abundant than ever before, making the army unprecedentedly powerful and the people unprecedentedly wealthy. Da Qin's muscles were already unstoppably developed.

In this process, the barbarians seemed to have obtained some refined salt, but due to the huge price difference, they lost a large amount of strategic materials. Unfortunately, due to their limited horizons, they lack the necessary understanding of economic intrusion and find it difficult to realize the risks involved. And even if one day they find a problem, they may not be able to change their living habits and get rid of the need for refined salt.

When Jiang Fan entered the Nanluze warning area, he first met the Nanluze patrol force of the Zhenbei Army and was quickly led to the camp of Nanluze Commander Meng Ge.

This man is Meng Wu's younger brother, and he is also a rare warrior. Not only is he brave, he is also calm and clear-minded. It is perfect to send him to take charge.

Although Brother Meng has not met Jiang Fan a few times, he pays close attention to this existence that is like an immortal in the Qin Dynasty. Especially under the influence of Commander Meng, Meng Wu and his two nephews, he respects Jiang Fan very much and has no regard for him at all. I care about the age difference between the two. After receiving the news, we had already gone out to greet him three miles away.

Surprisingly, Brother Meng was accompanied by Montaigne and Prince Dulon.

After chatting for a while, they finally realized that after the news of Jiang Fan's arrival was delivered in advance, the three of them had counted their time and waited here. Especially Du Lun, he can now take on the important task of escorting the refined salt to King Zuoxian's tent and the royal court of Jinzhang. This time, Jiang Fan specially postponed the trip.

Soon, everyone returned to the big tent. There was a blazing bonfire inside, and a whole cow was roasting until it was sizzling with oil. It was not too arrogant.

"This is specially sent by Prince Du Lun to welcome the prince. Today there will be fine wine. The general will also enjoy the food with the prince. In the past, drinking was prohibited in the military camp."

Brother Meng said with a cheerful smile.

"Today is an exception. Let's have a good meal." Jiang Fan was in a good mood, but when he sat down and took the plate from the maid's hand, he looked up and was stunned.

"Madoka?"

That's right, this woman dressed in commoners and jade hairpins is actually the maid of the Crescent Moon Princess, Xiao Yuan.

Madoka narrowed her big eyes and smiled: "Your Highness, it is Madoka. When I heard that you were coming, Madoka specifically asked General Meng to come and serve you. You are the biggest hero in Madoka's heart."
