Chapter 123 Chaos on the Frontier
"Thank you for the salt, Your Majesty! The villain's family of seven can eat and make ends meet. Your Majesty is a lifesaver!"

"Thank you for your majesty's salt, the villain can have a job and have money to support his family!"

"Thank you Your Majesty, the villain's shop can continue to open. This is the property left by the ancestors. The villain almost became a sinner through the ages!"

······
Yingzheng and Li Sri took care of the matter of salt and handled it very well.

However, in just over ten days, the salt problem in most parts of Daqin was solved. Yingzheng's parade carriage passed by, and the voices of gratitude from the people could be heard everywhere.

"Your Majesty's move is really wise. There are no people in the world who would not be grateful to His Majesty. Countless people have been saved by this move. You can really be called a wise king through the ages!"

When Zhao Gao heard the voice, he also knew that the opportunity had come, so he directly clapped his hands and replied.

"Haha! As the king of a country, it is my duty to save the people. This incident is not only due to me. Several ministers were also scolded by me!"

Hearing that, Ying Zheng looked humble, but couldn't hide the joy on his face.

But besides being happy, he is also very clear that the person who should be most grateful this time is Yingyun.

If Yingyun didn't give those craftsmen to himself, I'm afraid salt is still a big problem now, and Dajin doesn't know how much he will lose when he comes this time.

"The first merit must belong to His Majesty. At the beginning, His Majesty not only had to be scolded by the world, but also impeached by the old officials. It is ashamed to say it!"

Seeing this, Wang Jian also laughed loudly.

Thinking back to the scene when he went to find trouble with Ying Zheng, he felt a little embarrassed.

"I know that you are all thinking of Daqin, so the dragon chair was not let to you in the end!"

Ying Zheng also replied with a smile, in a good mood.

After all, when they were traveling before, although these people were respectful on the surface, they actually looked like they didn't want to see themselves.

But now Ying Zheng really felt those sincere thanks.

As a king, what could be more satisfying than being constantly thanked by the people?

"Your Majesty, the frontier is ahead, are you sure you want to go on this trip?"

Meng Tian, ​​who had been paying attention to the driving movements, took a look at Fate, then turned his head to look at Ying Zheng, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

This place on the border has always been not very peaceful.

Because of the problem of the Huns, this place has become a little chaotic, and some chaotic forces have emerged to be active here.

It's not that Meng Tian is afraid of this kind of place, it's just that in the face of such a place where some problems may arise, it is natural to avoid it as much as possible.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's better not to go to this kind of place."

Hearing that, Wang Jian also nodded.

As a general, he knows that small risks and no risks are completely different concepts.

"Before I traveled, I was concerned that the border was attacked by the Huns. The losses were heavy, and many people were affected. Now that I have come here this time, I can't ignore it. Go and see and give me something."

Ying Zheng spoke calmly, but his eyes were firm.

Regarding border matters, he often received memorials in the palace. Even though he had never seen it with his own eyes, he could still imagine the tragic scene.

"Besides, there are a few of you here, what else do I have to worry about?"

Immediately, Ying Zheng was bright again, and looked confidently at Wang Jian and the others.

For these generals, he is still very confident.

"Okay! Since His Majesty has said so, then even if the old minister risked his life, he would guarantee His Majesty's safe return!"

Hearing this, Wang Jian also laughed out loud, his gaze was firm.

"So does Wei Chen!"

"So does Wei Chen!"

Seeing this, Meng Tian and Zhang Han also bowed their hands, and the group headed towards the border in a mighty manner.

When they came to the border, Ying Zheng frowned involuntarily, and his gaze began to sharpen.

At a glance, the scattered houses are slightly dilapidated, and traces of being burned can be vaguely seen, obviously having experienced the devastation of war.

The people on both sides were dressed in shabby clothes, and when they heard the movement of Ying Zheng and his party, they hid in the house like frightened rabbits, not even daring to leave a crack in the door.

"It seems that the problem of the Huns should be put on the agenda earlier to solve it. If this continues, the people on the border will still impeach the issue of survival."

Ying Zheng spoke sharply.

"When the time is right, His Majesty just opens his mouth, and the old minister will definitely crush this Xiongnu!"

Wang Jian looked at this bleak scene with sharp eyes.

"My lord! Please save the villain! The villain's family of five has not eaten for three days, please help me with something to eat!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes ran out, knelt down in front of the carriage with a "plop", and began to beg.

"Do you know whose carriage this is? How dare you block it?"

Seeing this, Meng Tian let out a shout, but it's not that he doesn't sympathize with the person in front of him.

If anyone dared to stop Ying Zheng's carriage, then the news would spread in the future, and Ying Zheng's trip would become chaotic.

"The villain knows it shouldn't be like this, but the villain's family will die if they go on like this, please ask the adults for alms!"

Hearing Meng Tian's violent drinking, the middle-aged man only trembled in fright.

But thinking about the lives of his family, he still had the courage to murmur.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng stood up and signaled to Meng Tian that he didn't need to drive this person away, so Meng Tian didn't speak any more.

"The government should distribute potatoes. Why don't you have enough food?"

Ying Zheng asked.

Although potatoes have not yet spread to these places, the government will still distribute food in such famine places.

"It was issued by the government and grown by the villain himself. Originally, the family's livelihood was not a problem, but the villain's home was ransacked by the Huns a month ago. It is lucky to be able to survive. How dare we ask for such things as food."

The middle-aged man also replied with a bitter face.

"Forget it, give him something!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng sighed lightly, and then gave instructions.

"People who are struggling at home can come here to get something, everyone has it!"

Immediately, Ying Zheng shouted again.

The voice remembered that a small window was only opened in those rooms, and a woman looked through the gap to make sure that someone was taking something, and then she came out tremblingly.

"It's not easy!"

Looking at the people queuing up to get their things, Ying Zheng shook his head slightly and began to sigh again.

"Run! Run! The Huns are coming again!"

Just then, a sharp voice sounded.

Hearing that voice, those people were like frightened rabbits, and they ran away without caring about anything else, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Ying Zheng was also taken aback, and turned his head to look, only to see a pair of Huns on horseback chasing several civilians.

Different from the flustered expressions of the people, the Huns laughed loudly, as if they were enjoying the fun of chasing their prey.

In just three or two steps, the horse caught up with the young people, raised the knife and fell, and they fell to the ground instantly.

"Bold!"

Seeing this, Wang Jian's eyes turned cold, and he rode his horse and ran towards the group of people.

"Meng Tian, ​​you go and help too!"

Seeing this, Ying Zheng also gave orders.

With an order, the two generals rushed towards the Huns army with a team of troops.
