The thirty-sixth round of the revitalization of the tribe and the love of Zhou Bang / the joint team rushed to seize the salt

(6) A race that has been reduced to a prisoner and is subject to human beings will be unable to resist any of them.

Mao Di, the general of the Yandi tribe, released the leader of the Bianze people, Shui Wei, as a victor, and drove him and his people back to the station.

The Bianyi Plain is desolate and dusty, and the water source is scarce, and the Bianze people have lived here for generations, and they have settled their homes in the holes dug under the soil plain, forming a special village. The reason why they stuck to such a harsh environment was that not far from here there was an inexhaustible supply of salt from the place where their ancestors found, and the salt was hidden in salt pools one after another.

The Bianze people built a thick earthen wall around the salt pond and sent people to protect it. Salt water gushes out of the ground to form salt pools of various sizes, and where the water is deep, the water is dark green, and this is where their wealth lies.

The people of Bianze opened the ground by the salt pond and put salt water into the furrow, and then introduced the clear water from the nearby river into the furrow. In the meantime, the sludge and muddy water should not be mixed in, otherwise the salt veins will be blocked.

Don't think that's it, you have to master the season to make salt. If the brine is not strong enough too early, and too late the brine will turn red, neither of which will produce salt, and the timing must be just right to make the salt, which is sometime in the spring.

Although the timing is important, the most important thing is an indispensable special arrangement, which is at some point at the turn of the solar terms. Once this link is passed, salt can be formed in the furrow overnight, and the salt particles are crystal white and large, which is called big salt. Once formed, it can be swept up and eaten.

The difficulty lies in the fact that this important moment is irregular, short and fleeting, and once missed, it will be missed, and it will only be repeated in the next year.

Therefore, the importance of Zhiyi in the clan is self-evident.

Stargazing Wu Zhiyi was guarded separately from his clansmen, and his residence was isolated separately, and Mao Di specially sent additional manpower to prevent mistakes and extraneous branches.

In order to prevent the tribesmen from being poisoned again, Zhiyi can only compromise against his will and make salt for the marauders. He observed the heavens at night, and by observing the movement of the stars of Leshe, and the changes in the twelve times of the week, he was able to speculate on the mysterious season of salt-making.

These have been passed down from generation to generation as a compulsory lesson for tribal stargazing witches. Of course, to be able to become a stargazer and take on such a heavy responsibility, its initial selection is also quite strict, although it is usually selected from the sons of the stargazing witches in the past, but the selection must conform to the rules handed down, if there are no children or matching, it must be found in the clan, all those who are intelligent and show off boys.

Stargazing Wu Zhiyi has never made a mistake since he took charge of himself, and this time is no exception. He told Mao Di, the leader of the Yandi soldiers, that he would personally select some helpers to complete the entire salt-making process, and Mao Di immediately sent someone to take him to select people.
