Salt Making Secret Technique = Heaven Breaking Merit
From today onwards, I will be a noble person. From today onwards, I will be a pure person. From today onwards, I will be a person with no ambition. From today onwards, I'll be a person who eats and waits for death. I only wish to face the south mountain, the spring flowers bloom.
From today onwards, Zhao Yiyang no longer had to worry about food and clothing.
Because the great, wise, bright, and generous Second Emperor Li not only granted him the title of baron, but also rewarded him with 1,200 mu of land as a reward for his selfless contribution to the secret salt-making technique.
In fact, he even owned a large mansion in Lantian County.
Other than the title of Lantian County Man, he also had an official position.
In short, it was not a problem for him to feed himself.
It would not even be a problem for him to feed the 100 soldiers under him.
He was in a good mood and overslept.
The sun was already high up in the sky when Zhao Yiyang finally opened his hazy eyes.
He saw a big head with a full beard swaying in front of him.
Reflex, he threw a punch.

Bao Liu had panda eyes and looked aggrieved.
Zhao Yiyang wiped his face with a wet towel and said,""Why the f * ck are you shaking the ball in front of me? I thought you were a monster that came out of nowhere.”
"I just wanted to see if you were awake.”
Liu Bao looked aggrieved.
"You're awake. If you have something to say, say it."
"Oh, Gou 'zi has returned to Dongyang Castle."
Liu Bao said.
Hmm?
All the fatigue on Zhao Yiyang's body disappeared instantly.
A month ago, the saltworks were attacked, resulting in the death of a soldier.
Zhao Yiyang sent a team of scouts to track down the Qiang tribe that attacked the salt pans.
However, there was no news for an entire month. Zhao Yiyang had been worried that something had happened to the scouts.
"Is everyone back?"
Zhao Yiyang quickly asked.
"Yes, but everyone is injured and probably suffered a lot.”
"Alright, call our brothers and return to Dongyang Castle immediately.”
"Here!"
This time, Zhao Yiyang had been transferred to Lan Province City. He had brought 50 of the 100 soldiers from Dongyang Fort with him.
This was because almost all the Qiang tribes in Longyou had been wiped out, and the mission had been successfully completed.
Therefore, Chai Shao ordered him to continue guarding Dongyang Castle and the saltworks.
After bidding farewell to Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, and Zhangsun Wuji, Zhao Yiyang brought his 50 soldiers and arrived at Dongyang Castle in just two hours.

Dongyang Castle.
The cook had already slaughtered several sheep.
The flatbread was also baked.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chumo, Zhangsun Chong…All the silkpants were there.
After a month of recuperation, Zhangsun Chong was full of vigor again.
"The club really got lucky this time.”
Zhangsun Chong clicked his tongue.
A hint of envy flashed across his eyes from time to time.
From the moment he was born, he was destined to become the second Duke of Zhao.
However, this was to inherit Zhangsun Wuji's title.
It was completely different from Zhao Yiyang.
Cheng Chumo also looked envious." His Majesty has given us a generous reward this time. Therefore, the northwest is the place where we can make contributions."”
Because of the attack on the salt pans, he had become much calmer.
At the side, Hou Jie was a little puzzled and said,"Isn't he just a Baron? Why are you two so jealous?”
These words immediately attracted the furious gazes of the two.
The oldest, Li Jingren, said,"" Shut up if you don't understand. Now that the country has been settled, the nobles are extremely cautious. The whole court is thinking about how to reduce the nobles and lower the titles. Brother Yang broke this restriction with a mere secret salt-making technique and was granted the title of founding baron in one fell swoop. It's already a great favor.”
"Oh..."
Hou Jie finally reacted.
"It means that all the officials in the court feel that there are too many nobles now, and they can only slowly reduce their share. Unless they make great contributions, they will not be able to break this limit.”
At the side, Chai Lingwu nudged Li Chengqian, who had been silent all this while, and asked,"Sigh, tell me, is Your Majesty's action agreeable?”
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes at him." I've been away from Chang 'an for several months. I've never written to the palace. How would I know what it means?" Moreover, Brother Yang's salt-making method solved the problem of the Northwest Army's lack of salt. Wasn't it considered a great contribution? Don't make wild guesses. Isn't it a happy thing for your brother to obtain a noble title? Is there a need to guess?"
"That's true."
Cheng Chumo shrugged." Brother Yang is capable. Isn't it normal for him to be a Baron?"”
"He's here."
As he spoke, Zhangsun Chong stood up.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the thundering sound of hooves coming from outside the main gate.
