On how to make the big cat sleep obediently [Time Travel]

For some reason, some scenes suddenly appeared in Xiaonian's mind... What would Liu Yu and the little tiger cub be like without him?

——Is Prince Yu still on the boat in the middle of the lake, alone; are Kuaiai and Zai Zai still living in Xiaolin, no one can approach...

But now Liu Yu has stepped off the boat in the center of the lake, and Kuaiai and Zaizai have also left Xiaolinju...

If he is gone now, will they continue their current life, or will they go back to the past?

This inexplicable imagination flooded into my mind made people feel very uncomfortable, Xiaonian raised his head to look at the tall palace wall, and felt more and more heavy in his heart.

But soon, this feeling disappeared again.

Because he saw the little tiger cub running towards this side, and then circling around his feet, chasing each other, whether it was on his clothes, bouncing around, lively like two little spinning tops.

"Aooooooow~" "Aooooooow~" Although the little tiger cubs like a big yard, they prefer to be with their elder brother, so they "graciously invite" Xiaonian to join their chase.

Xiaonian knelt down and patted their little heads: "Be obedient and play with Zai Zai first, brother will watch you."

The little guy pawed at his leg with his small claws, and ran away after being tired for a while. He only looked back at him from time to time to make sure Xiaonian was still by his side, and then continued to play boldly.

The little tiger's fluffy touch is still lingering on the fingertips, and Xiaonian now looks at the sun shining on the flowers in the corner of the wall, bright and vibrant, and feels that the strange feeling just now is gone.

Although Xiaonian did not join the "chasing scene" of the cubs, he still walked behind them.

——What happened to you being so hypocritical just now?Thinking about such an unlucky thing for no reason, hurry up and pee twice to get rid of the bad things!

Probably because it is far away from the sea, the ingredients in the dinner are mostly seafood. Fortunately, Xiaonian is used to eating it, not only does it not feel fishy, ​​but it tastes delicious.

At this time, the weather is getting warmer and transportation is not easy. Even in the capital, it is not so easy to eat fresh seafood.

But now the tables are full, making people feel happy and envious of the people living in the coastal areas.

"Today we went out to explore the road. The fishermen said that this year's water is warm and the harvest is good. It seems that among the three counties in the north, at least the people in Yuan'an are doing well."

In the past two days, His Royal Highness will take Dr. Jian and the young master to the beach. Of course, Jiang Changshi will personally take people to Jinghai Coast to find a suitable place.

This place needs to be more secluded and has a beautiful scenery, which is not something you can come across casually.

When they were looking for the way, they encountered many returning fishing boats. Jiang Changshi used his excellent communication skills to quickly learn a few suitable locations from the fishermen. By the way, he knew this Something to be happy about.

At the beginning, Prince Yu died of illness suddenly, and there was no clear heir—perhaps more accurately, the heir he liked was not the same person as the county king the court hoped for.

Prince Yu passed away, and what was left to the northern border was the unresolved position of Snow Lord and the hidden chaos.

Once the two people in Xing'an Xueling really confront each other, it will become a life-and-death situation, and ordinary people will suffer.

"Although the coast of Yuan'an is not very long, the residents around here rely on the sea to eat the sea. Even if they don't go fishing, they will do sea-related work, such as drying salt."

Salt may not seem to be used much every day, but it is essential.

In addition, food storage at this time mainly relies on salting, so controlling salt production is tantamount to controlling people's livelihood.

In the beginning, especially in the interior of Kyushu, apart from extracting salt from natural salt wells, people mainly obtained edible salt by frying salt.

But this method of obtaining salt is labor-intensive, and it also consumes a lot of firewood, so that some wells and salt areas have completely cut down the surrounding trees because of frying salt, which not only caused extremely serious environmental damage, but also caused The salt well stopped production due to lack of fuel, and the loss outweighed the gain.

Afterwards, the discovery of sun-dried salt in seawater quietly changed this situation.

At the beginning, due to technical limitations, the quality of the sun-dried sea salt was not very good, so in most areas of Jizhou, there is still more fried salt than sun-dried salt.

However, with the passage of time, the accumulation of experience and the gradual improvement of technology, most of the sea salt production areas have improved the method of sun drying, which has improved the efficiency of sun drying and the quality of sea salt.

So inland is still indispensable fried salt, and it becomes less and less in coastal areas until it is completely replaced by sea salt.

The general process is to filter the seawater with sun-dried beach mud and sand to make high-salt brine, then store the brine in the pool, evaporate and crystallize in the sun to form salt.The salt workers will repeat these steps over and over again until the salt comes out.

Now about one-third of the salt used in Jizhou comes from the coast. After they are produced, they are collected by the salt officials appointed by the imperial court, and then sent to the inland direction.

Since sea salt is inexhaustible, there is almost no cost in raw materials, so this "business" can be said to be a huge profit.

The monopoly of salt and iron is a very important national policy for the Kyushu Five Kingdoms.

But in this case, it is not surprising that some people take risks for profit.

Even if there is a clear regulation in Jizhou, "Scraping alkali and decocting illegal salt, if the crime is less than one catty, you will be punished for three years and served as a servant; if it is more than one catty, you will be beaten with a heavy stick and executed", illegal salt is still prohibited.

Referring to the work of drying salt, Jiang Zhi mentioned the matter of private salt by the way, saying that recently some salt workers have frequently left the salt field, probably because of tricks.

Xiaonian thought of something, and couldn't help asking: "How did they get through the checkpoints and transport the salt away?"

Because Liu Yu's fief is more close to the sea, it is reasonable to say that the situation of salt smuggling will be more serious, but the regent's territory is tightly controlled, but it is not as aggressive as Yuan'an, which only has one salt-producing area.

After Prince Yu was gone, although there were still two royals with "soul power" in the northern border who could deter demons, Liu Xuan and Liu Kui could not deter demons and monsters in the crowd.

These people hiding in the dark are taking advantage of the fact that the new master of the northern border has not yet been determined, and they are hurrying to make trouble.

Jiang Changshi told him several methods he knew, which surprised Xiaonian.

No wonder a great thinker once said that if capital has 50.00% profit, it will take risks; if it has [-]% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world; if it has [-]% profit, it will dare to commit crimes. Any crime, even at the risk of being hanged... It's the same everywhere.

"His Royal Highness, come to Yuan'an, do you want to thoroughly investigate the matter of private salt?" Xiaonian felt that Jiang Changshi, as Prince Yu's confidant, would not chat with fishermen about sea salt for no reason.

But Liu Yu shook his head: "We won't investigate, wait for them to investigate themselves."

Prince Yu's patrolling in the northern border is not to do anything, but to act as a representative of the royal family, to create a deterrent force in the northern counties, so that those forces that are about to move or have emerged will be restrained, so as not to be too aggressive rampant.

But Liu Yu himself did not intend to really get involved in the affairs of the northern border.

Liu Yu knew why the Emperor of Jizhou sent him to Xing'an Xueling.

The Xu family was seriously injured by the Xu family's incident and needed a period of time to "recuperate and recuperate". The regent's presence in Beijing not only made the emperor feel uneasy, but also made the Xu family and the Empress Dowager Xu fearful.

It just so happened that the northern border was unstable at this time, and letting Prince Yu leave the capital could not only stabilize the northern counties, but also let many people breathe a little easier, so the "collaboration" of multiple parties contributed to this matter.

Being able to take Xiaonian to a distant place, leaving Beijing this time is actually not a bad thing for Liu Yu.

In fact, every day he was thinking about where Xiaonian and his party had gone and when he would be able to pick him up. It seemed that he hadn't thought about the people and things in the capital for a long time.

If Liu Xin stopped being a monster, Liu Yu thought: maybe he would leave Tianjing completely, take Xiaonian back to his fiefdom, and then ignore the affairs of the court, just be a idle king, and live behind closed doors, which sounds pretty good too. .

However, if you are deeply involved in the affairs of the northern border, you can avoid suspicion to the greatest extent.

In this way, the new king of the county is granted the title, so that he can retreat unscathed and bring his little doctor back to the capital, or to his own fiefdom.

……

Prince Yu's final location was in a very secret place.

Because there is a high cliff nearby, as long as people occupy the high ground, they can see the surrounding situation, so once a stranger approaches the beach, Liu Yu's personal guards will be able to spot it and warn him in a special way in Prince Yu's Mansion.

Xiaonian and the others got out of the carriage and walked for a while before arriving at the destination. When they were really on the scene, they realized that the scenery seen in the distance was far worse than the one in front of them.

Putting the cub on the beach, Xiao said in a young voice, "Honey, we're here."

It was like being shocked when seeing the sea for the first time. At first, the cub stood motionless in the gravel, his eyes staring straight at the white sand under his paws, his little head was empty, and he couldn’t return for a long time god.

The fine sand under their paws is much softer than the gravel they have stepped on in other places, and they sink in with a little force.

They are even a little scared, what if they move and are accidentally eaten by sand? !Aww~

Sensing the little guy's concerns, Xiaonian took off his shoes and socks, and stood on the beach barefoot like them, feeling the warmth of the sun on it, which was very comfortable.

He squatted down, grabbed a little sand, and buried a small paw of Kuaiguai and Zaizai.

The little guy looked at his buried paw with a masked face, then at his brother, and then at his paw, not knowing what happened.

When Xiaonian pretended nothing happened but buried all their little paws, he couldn't help laughing:

"Brother will make a big rabbit for you."

After Xiaonian finished speaking, he began to "create", and soon he piled up a pile of things. The little tiger cub leaned over, looked left and right, with an even more puzzled expression on his face.

Now Doctor Jian couldn't help laughing: "..." What he piled up was obviously rabbits!Although it is a bit abstract, it does not mean that it is not a rabbit!

Prince Yu watched the whole process from the sidelines, and really didn't want Xiaonian to be sad because of two ignorant and tasteless brats, so he wiped it with his hands twice.

He personally carved ice rabbits for Xiaonian, and put them on the side of the corridor from Xiaonian's bedroom to the master bedroom, so that he could accompany Xiaonian back and forth at night, so he is very clear about the structure of rabbits (fog), and it is natural to cut the shape easily .

"Aooooooow~" "Aooooooow~" The little guy immediately became excited when he saw this, and circled around the "fat rabbit" lying on the beach.

The little tiger cub barks at Xiaonian from time to time, paws at his ankles, and motions Xiaonian to look at the rabbit.

Seeing that Xiaonian was even more depressed, Liu Yu piled up something next to the sand rabbit. Xiaonian took a closer look and found that Liu Yu actually piled up a miniature white tiger beside it.

Standing in the distance, Jiang Changshi wondered if he was dazzled.

——He didn't expect that in his lifetime, he could see his highness playing with sand on the beach!
