After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chapter 211 Salt Sea Son

Chu Yin looked at Yu Saihua a few more times.

Today's Yu Saihua is much calmer and more capable than when she first arrived at the barracks.

Then he said in a warm voice, "please speak."

Her attitude gave Yu Saihua encouragement, and Yu Saihua cleared her throat and said, "Marshal, in fact, Beiqi is rich in all kinds of furs. Beiqi was originally gathered by many tribes.

"Most of the tribes are brave and good at fighting. Their domestic land is barren and not suitable for farming, but there are many pastures.

"Every year they live by water and grass, and they are good at grazing. Their beef and mutton are delicious. Compared with our Dazhou, the taste is much better.

"The general also knows that because there is a special plant on their grassland, after the cattle and sheep eat it, the meat will not have the fishy smell.

"When there are more cattle and sheep, there will be more fur. What's more, there are often wolves on the pasture, and they can accumulate a lot of wolf skins alone.

"Another thing, they are also good at taming horses. There are often herds of wild horses in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but if you are not a master, it is very difficult to tame them.

"The general thinks that these can be used as places to attract businessmen.

"On the other hand, Northern Qi lacks everything, whether it's food, medicinal materials, cloth or other small items that are not rare in our Great Zhou, as long as they are brought in, it will be a huge profit.

"The loss on the road is nothing compared to the profit."

Chu Yin nodded. Although the counselors had mentioned these matters, Yu Saihua was worthy of praise for being able to take the initiative to mention them.

So he didn't hit her, just responded with a smile: "Okay, these handsome men will think about it carefully."

Yu Saihua became more and more happy, "Didn't I tell you before that there will be someone in Beiqi at the end of the day? Although it has not been used for a long time, it is not that nothing useful has been sent back.

"In our Great Zhou, salt is not so abundant, but Northern Qi still has the ability to sell salt to neighboring countries."

"Really?" Chu Yin cheered up. This was the first time she had heard about it. This is really useful news!

Seeing this, Yu Saihua hurriedly said: "Yes, there was originally only one relatively large Yanhaizi in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but just such a Yanhaizi can supply the people of the whole country with salt.

"Later, several large Yanhaizi were discovered in the wilderness.

"In this way, the extra salt can be exchanged for money and goods.

"The people sent by the last general are not courageous enough, they only occupied a corner of Yanhaizi, even so, they have made a lot of money now.

"But at the end of the day, I thought, although it is only natural to earn money from the Northern Qi Dynasty, wouldn't it be better if we could use Yanhaizi to do something beneficial to our Great Zhou?"

Chu Yin praised her a few words, and then asked: "Is there any Yanhaizi near the border between the two countries? ——Why is it called 'Haizi'?"

"Northern Qi people are used to calling the lake Haizi," Yu Saihua explained. "It may be because they have never seen the sea, and they want to call it this when they see a relatively large body of water."

Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Nowadays there are several Haizis at the border between the two countries, but as far as I know, there is no Yan Haizi among them.

"But the lakes in Northern Qi are all salty, maybe they can also extract salt?"

Chu Yin nodded: "Okay, I've made a note, and I'll send someone to check it out later. If you can really refine the salt, it will be a great achievement for the general."

Yu Saihua hurriedly said modestly: "This is the job of the last general, the commander must not do this."

Because Chu Yin had other matters, he didn't chat with Yu Saihua much.

Yu Saihua bowed to see Chu Yin off, and when Chu Yin led people a long way, she was still watching from behind.
