Black and white Xuanjian has a small notepad in which he records all the people who have offended him and cheated him. Ying Zheng feels that it is very good. No matter how good the memory is, it cannot be compared to the writing.

Therefore, Ying Zheng also has three volumes of bamboo slips with lists like this. The red ones represent threats, must kill, and the least knowing ones. Most of them are also marked with red pen. The black one represents the trusted ministers. As for whose name is on it, even the ministers like Zhao Gao and Zhang Han have not been seen.

Now the yellow bamboo slip, which represents the importance of attracting attention, has the name Wei Jiu on it.

Zhao Gao and Zhang Han looked at Ying Zheng writing Wei Jiu's name on the bamboo slips, and they understood that Wei Jiu had fallen in Ying Zheng's eyes, but they had a love for talents and did not let Luo Wang and Shadow Secret Guard die. hand.

It is even very likely that Wei Jiu will serve as ministers in the same palace as them in the future, which also shows Ying Zheng's attitude.

Zhang Han and others understood that Wei Jiu could not be killed now, so it was best to try their best to win him over.

However, just when the situation in the Central Plains was tense, on the grassland, a group of famous figures followed Gongsun Linglong to the palace, looking extremely unkind.

"Huh? There's no salt in the North Sea?" Yan Yan was also stunned. Can't salt be mined from Lake Baikal? Did he remember it wrong?
"Isn't that the North Sea? If it's the sea, you should be able to mine salt!" A piece of bad information suddenly appeared in Yan Yan's mind. Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in Asia and the deepest in the world!

"It's over!" Yan Yan's scalp went numb as he looked at the famous old people with unkind expressions.

As for Lop Nur, in his time, Lop Nur had long since disappeared. It was no longer the treasure-like pearl given by the gods described in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. Instead, it was a forbidden place, the Sea of ​​Death.

"Fuck him!" the famous elder swore decisively.

As for Yan Yan's misremembering, they didn't believe it. Yan Yan had never been to Lake Baikal. How could he have misremembered it?

"..." Yan Yan smiled awkwardly, now it was too serious.

Yan Yan and the other elders also breathed a sigh of relief.

He seems to have remembered something wrong!
"Although it is not a saltwater lake, my famous disciple also conducted a survey of the lake with the idea of ​​​​coming here. It is worthy of the name of the North Sea. The water area is extremely wide, the fish resources are extremely rich, and the surrounding forests are all century-old trees. , very suitable for use as building materials." Looking at Yan Yan's confusion, the famous elder also guessed that Yan Yan didn't know the truth and had been misled.

It's just that it's impossible for them to win these two lakes with just their talents.

"Although no salt water lake has been found in the North Sea, we also know from the words of the Great Yuezhi that there is a lake named Balkhash Lake in the west of the Great Yuezhi. It is a salt water lake, and it is true that salt is mined in winter." The famous expert and his party could only You can find the steps for yourself.

When the other elders heard what the elder said, they were stunned for a moment and wanted to take action against Yan Yan, but they still hesitated.

"So, what do you think?" Yan Yan looked at the celebrity group and roughly guessed what they were thinking.

"In addition, the Loulan Kingdom of the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions also occupies a huge lake called Lop Nur. It is also a saltwater lake. The salt of the entire Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions also comes from that lake." Gongsun Linglong continued.

"Lake Balkhash, Lop Nur?" Yan Yan finally remembered. He confused Lake Baikal with Lake Balkhash.

"I mean, how could such a salt lake fall into the hands of outsiders?" The great elder also realized that others had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.

However, the information brought by famous experts now shows that Lop Nur is a saltwater lake with an extremely vast water area.

What Yan Yan was thinking was that with so many famous experts taking action together, it seemed like he could only run away.

What the famous elders thought was that if they beat Bingjun, would they be able to leave the palace alive?

Fortunately, they misunderstood what the great elder meant. "So, what do you mean, let Donghu go for the time being and take over the Dayue clan and the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Region first?" Yan Yan asked, touching his nose.

"Yes!" The famous elder nodded seriously.

"After last year's war, Bingzhou no longer has the strength to launch a large-scale war, and the food and supplies are insufficient. Coupled with the surrender of the Xiongnu, Bingzhou needs time to digest." The famous elder carefully analyzed the current situation of Bingzhou.

Yan Yan was also thinking about this issue. In fact, everyone knew that Bingzhou was not capable of launching another war and they needed time to settle down.

"We have specifically analyzed that the thirty-six countries in the Western Region are said to be thirty-six countries, but in fact they are far more than that. Moreover, they are not united and have many frictions with each other."

"So, we don't need a large force to go out, we only need a few thousand people to go to the Western Regions in the name of merging states."

"I would like to serve as the Bingzhou envoy to the Western Regions and establish a Bingzhou envoy to protect the Western Regions!" The famous elder sighed.

For the title of Mr. Salt, they can only go to the dark side in one way. Even if they took the wrong road before, they can only go to the dark side now.

"One person destroys a country?" Yan Yan blurted out.

The scalp of the famous elder is numb. You really think highly of me, and you want to destroy an entire country by one person. Do you think any biography in the past would dare to write like this?

"What I mean is to send an envoy to the Western Regions, establish diplomatic relations with the Western Regions, and then find a way to seize a small country around Lop Nur that is suitable for salt mining, destroy it, and then continue to mine salt!" The elder said helplessly.

In order to collect salt, they have gone crazy and will do anything.

Of course, if anyone dares to stop them, they don't mind killing them.

Yan Yan thought about the feasibility. Bingzhou's current focus is on the Xiongnu and Hetao lands. If the road to the Western Regions can be opened, it will indeed bring great convenience to Bingzhou.

In particular, the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions do not seem to have a harmonious relationship with the Xiongnu and the Da Yueshi. They are allies that can be united.

Especially the BMWs of Wusun and Dawan, which are recognized as the strongest war horses!

A great war has begun in the Central Plains, and it will not be so easy to send food and grass to Bingzhou in the future. Bingzhou also needs to find another trade route, and the Western Regions seems to be a good choice.

"Is the center of gravity tilted to the west?" Yan Yan thought about the feasibility, so he ordered to summon all civil and military officials to discuss it.

After hearing Yan Yan's proposal, An Qisheng was also thinking about it. He also felt that it was time for Bingzhou to slow down.

From the establishment of Bingzhou to the present, Bingzhou has been engaged in constant wars, and it is time to stop and recuperate for a while.

He agrees with tilting the focus of Bingzhou's development to the west. After all, Danlin, Linhu and Loufan are now being developed. These places are too close to Donghu. They will also become places of war in the future and will be destroyed if they develop.

Instead of doing this, it is better to shift the focus westward, slow down the development of the east, and develop the east as a strategic combat readiness area.

Focus on the development of the western region and ensure the self-sufficiency of grain and grass supplies in Bingzhou.

"I agree!" An Qisheng thought for a long time and finally nodded in approval.
