Changle's Escape Plan
the genius is hazy and bright.
The city gate of Chang 'an slowly opened.
Chang Le was dressed in a tight suit, disguised as a man, and quietly left the city with the little palace maid.
After walking for a whole morning, they arrived at Lantian County.
He bought two mules and ran straight in the direction of Longyou.
After running for another four hours, Chang Le finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, we finally escaped.”
she said in relief.
She had been planning this escape for a whole month.
Fortunately, all his efforts were not in vain. He had finally escaped.
"Your Highness, I…"
Before the palace maid Ling Dang could finish her sentence, Chang Le glared at her." Have you forgotten what I told you? After leaving the palace, you can only call me Young Master, understand?”
"Yes... It's Young Master."
Ling Dang quickly said submissively.
"Why are you calling me Young Master?"
Chang Le said unhappily.
"Are we really going to look for the crown prince and the others? But Longyou is so big, and it's so far away from Chang 'an. We..."
Ling Dang was a little afraid.
Although they were not far from Chang 'an, they felt that there was no one on the plank road.
She heard that Longyou was in chaos and there were many savages. She and the princess, two weak women, would be courting death if they went to Longyou.
Chang Le sighed slightly and said,""I don't want to go either."
"But... Brother Crown Prince was demoted to Longyou because of me. I also heard from my mother that he suffered a lot this month and was bullied by a wooden club every day. If I don't go and see him, I won't be at ease.”
"How can you blame the palace…Young Master, if you want to blame someone, blame Young Master Zhangsun…If he hadn't urged the Crown Prince to go to the Retired Emperor's chambers, would that have happened? Also, Consort Zhen, why are you taking a bath in broad daylight?”
Bell said angrily.
The two of them grew up together. Although they were master and servant in name, because of Chang Le's good personality, the two of them were like sisters.
Therefore, Chang Le didn't care about Ling Dang's bold remarks. Instead, he explained,""This matter is not as simple as you think. Hurry up and hurry. If you don't leave, Imperial Father's cavalry will catch up to us.”

There was a small accident during the salt making process.
The place where the mineral salt was found previously did not have much reserves.
Zhao Yiyang had no choice but to bring his scouts along the river valley to find salt with Dongyang Castle as the center.
Three days later, they found an open-air salt mine about 30 miles away from Dongyang Castle and 70 miles away from Lan Province.
Zhao Yiyang was shocked by the abundance of its reserves.
If he extracted all the salt from the open-air salt mine, a million catties of green salt would be a piece of cake.
One million jin of green salt was enough to sustain an army of one hundred thousand for a year.
By the 5th year of Zhenguan, the battle of the grasslands had already subsided.
Moreover, there were plenty of such mineral salt in Longyou.
What he lacked was not mineral salt, but the method to refine it.

Zhao Yiyang wiped the sweat off his forehead.
As soon as he sat down, a pure silver flat pot was stuffed into his hand.
Cheng Chumo winked at him and pulled out the cork to sniff. It turned out to be wine, not very strong.
Zhao Yiyang took a small sip. The wine was very dry, only about 30%, and it had not been blended and fragrant.
In Tang Shi's time, the strongest liquor was only Sanle liquor. After three rounds of fermentation, the alcohol content could reach about 30 degrees.
The wine was a little muddy. Forget it. If there's wine today, I'll get drunk. After a long day, it's just the right time to drink some wine to relieve my fatigue.
He picked up the pot and gulped it down.
For Zhao Yiyang, who was used to drinking strong liquor with a alcohol content of 50%, this amount of alcohol was nothing.
Beside him, Cheng Chumo's face twitched.
"There's only one pot. Leave some for me…"
he said anxiously.
"Where did it come from?"
After taking two sips of wine, Zhao Yiyang threw the wine pot to him.
"Didn't you go to Lan Zhou City to report during the day? Uncle Qin gave it to you.”
It was good that there were people above.
"Where are the supplies I want?"
Zhao Yiyang asked.
"Here, they're all here. How much salt did you refine today? The Right Military Guards have already run out of salt. When I came, the Head Chief (Chai Shao) asked me if I could send a batch of salt tomorrow to deal with the emergency. Oh, he specifically asked you to personally escort him to Lan Zhou. He said he wanted to see you.”
Cheng Chumo explained.
"Chai Shao wants to see me?"
Zhao Yiyang felt a little strange. He thought for a while and said," Tomorrow, they should be able to refine thousands of kilograms of salt. Although it wasn't much, it could alleviate the suffering of the army.
So he nodded and said,"Alright, I'll go there myself tomorrow."”
He patted his butt and stood up.
He shouted," Zhang Cheng, go boil a few pots of water for me and pour them all into a big bucket. Today, no matter whether it's men, women, old or young, wash them all clean for me. Especially those savages. They're all as dirty as pigs. They're covered in lice and fleas. You're lucky that you didn't touch the plague. Listen up. If there's anyone, soak them in the bucket. You can only eat after you take a bath by the river."”
He had an unexpected harvest when he was refining salt today. He had obtained some limestone.
Zhao Yiyang burned dozens of kilograms of quicklime to disinfect the place.
The soldiers of the Great Tang were fine, but the hundreds of Qiang people were too dirty to look at. Zhao Yiyang even saw lice crawling on their messy hair.
Normally, Zhao Yiyang wouldn't care about these people's lives.
If he had an epidemic, so be it. He just had to hide far away.
But now, he had to supervise these people every day. If he didn't clean these people up, he would feel disgusted.
