Chapter 550

Dayao, a small town with a population of only tens of thousands, is neither in the main traffic roads nor special products.

"The salt team is coming! The salt team is coming!" As a motorcade entered the city, the city suddenly became boiling.

Many people ran to some place in the city with bags. When they ran there, they found people standing in a dense crowd.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood in the crowd and felt the crowd behind him. He turned his head and looked behind him. Then he shouted, "what's the squeeze? This time the team is so big. It's good for one of ten people to buy salt. It's better to go out of town and pick up stones and lick them. If it's late, there's no stones!"

The so-called picking stones and licking refers to a kind of marble outside the city, which is bitter, salty and slightly poisonous. But these days there is a lack of salt. Many people have no salt, so they have to go outside the city to pick up this stone, lick it, and then eat meat.

If Ren 8000 were here, we would know that this is a carbonate rock.

With the young people's words, they immediately scolded, and soon there was a disorderly battle in the crowd. The old man in his 70s and 80s jumped two or three meters high and kicked out with a strong wind... The aunt's fists on the street didn't know how many people's eyes were bruised, and even the 10-year-old children drilled around in the crowd and lifted their Yin legs from time to time.

Fighting is the nature of the ancient people, even the seemingly simple residents of this small town.

Therefore, it is common for a little common to fight.

The basic process is generally: "what are you looking at?" "Look at you?" "I smoke you!"

Then there was a fight. It's just that in today's large-scale chaotic war, it's only when the salt team comes recently.

Because of the lack of salt, many people feel that they have less and less strength recently.

When the newly formed militia stopped the chaotic war, many people looked at each other angrily with injuries, but they laughed again soon.

Before long, the militia group transported several carts of salt bags to the open space in front of the people. Under the auspices of the city order, they began to sell at a low price, and each person could only buy three or two.

"The price is so low! It's a pity that it's too few. Otherwise, buy more and keep them at home, so there's always no salt." Someone whispered ahead.

"Dream! Thanks to coming early today, you can't buy these."

The people in the rear were disappointed when they saw the salt in front. As the boy said just now, it would be good if one of the ten people could buy it.

"When will salt come?"

"Yes! I have no strength without salt!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the kingdom of clouds, the kingdom of Chen and the great summer have cut off our salt road. There has been no bag of salt in two and a half months!" The order of the city, and there are also several experts in the city, stood in front and spoke loudly.

"Kill them! Get the salt back!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The crowd below immediately shouted, and the original simple people immediately overflowed with murderous spirit, and their faces also showed a fierce look.

If people from other countries see this scene, they can understand why the ancient people clearly had such a small population, but they were able to contend that their population, financial resources, materials and equipment were far better than those of other countries, and even won the war.

Even after living in this plain for 70 years, the bones of these people are still full of that kind of wildness.

Even if it is not a child who grew up fighting with beasts on the mountain, his blood is still full of the desire to fight.

"Everybody, I don't need to transport salt from the outside anymore. I have my own salt farm." Chengling said.

As soon as this was said, everyone below was stunned.

Dayao's salt is completely transported from several other countries. Even children know that. When did Dayao have its own salt farm?

"First of all, I would like to thank Lord Ren, the governor of Zizhu University. That is, he worked out how to make salt from the brine in the mountains."

Everyone wondered below, where is this Zizhu university? Who's Ren? I don't remember such a person in the court.

It took a long time for someone to remember. Isn't this the little white face your majesty is looking for?

"Which little white face of your majesty is Lord Ren you said?" Someone asked.

"Rude!" The city magistrate's face sank first, and then thought about it. Although it was a little disrespectful to his majesty, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. He knows more than the people. He has heard about some things in the war between the north and Daxia before. However, he is still regarded as a little white face in his heart, not to mention others.

"Little white face is because of white face!" The city order added.

"I didn't say anything else!" The voice in the crowd made everyone laugh. It's better not to say this sentence.

"Anyway, thanks to Lord Ren, we have salt to eat. But the salt has just been made for a few months and has to be transported to various cities, so it is a little less now. However, in the future, there will be more and more salt and everyone will have it, so you don't have to worry."

Although the people below are laughing, the tension caused by lack of salt has been relieved a lot, and the impression of Ren 8000 is also very good.

Ren 8000's popularity among the people has improved a lot.

……

Ren 8000 and the female emperor spent more than three months in Tianjing, and many things happened outside.

There are three things that draw everyone's attention. The first is the war between the Northeast capital guard and the cloud country.

Before the female emperor entered the Tianjing land, Zhu Wuzhen scattered the Allied forces of the city masters into Dayao and destroyed the village. It was the same tactic as that of the Xia Dynasty.

In the early stage, many border villages were destroyed, but those villagers also taught the city Lord coalition army of cloud country how to be a man.

The number of troops was less than two thousand, and they even ate in front of the stockade of more than a hundred people, which greatly disgraced the Allied forces of the city masters.

The reason is that the unprepared village has no time to move, so there is no retreat. Even the last person will not die.

But the young master soldiers of the city Lord's coalition army will retreat if their casualties exceed 15%, and will collapse if their casualties exceed 20%.

In addition, most of the adult ancient tribes have the strength of people who turn to martial arts.

In this way, the advance of cloud country was very slow in the early stage.

When they formed a large army, the newly trained new army arrived

The result can be imagined

When Ren 8000 and others returned to Gucheng, Zidong had laid down four cities in the cloud country.

The second thing is that Chen has already known that he has sent troops to declare war.

The war in the southeast is not fierce. Neither Zhuoyue nor Chen seems to have much interest in fighting. The two sides are displayed on the border. They stare at each other every day, and occasionally have a small fight, more like an exhibition game than a war.

Dayao is very fond of this matter, but he doesn't know how long this situation can last.

The third and most important thing is that the routes of transporting salt from Da Xia, Chu Yun and Chen Guo to Da Yao have been cut off. Since Chen sent troops, no salt has been transported into Dayao, which makes many people very nervous.

Fortunately, recently, the Imperial Court released a batch of salt, enough to have 100000 stones, that is, 1.2 million kilograms, enough for more than 3 million people to eat for a month. Further restrictions can barely feed 7 million people.

And the imperial court was still vigorously promoting Ren 8000's research on how to make salt in the mountains.

The people of Dayao still have a high degree of trust in the imperial court. Like what happened in that small town, it is staged everywhere, which also eases the tension everywhere.

However, only a few people know that the salt was accumulated for half a year.

Although with the successive excavation of salt wells and the expansion of salt farms, the salt production rate in these three months has increased significantly compared with the previous three months, the salt output per month is only 30000 stones, barely enough for 1 million people.

Next, the most important thing is to rely on Zidong to rob the cloud country.

Therefore, the first order of the female emperor was to give it to Zidong, occupy the cloud country as quickly as possible, and return the salt found in each city to Dayao.

With the order of the female emperor, Zidong completely released his hands and feet, and the offensive was in full swing.

Another half month later, Ren 8000 and the female emperor finally returned to Lan City.
