People have to eat salt, or they will get sick.

The main source of salt is dried sea salt, as well as well as well salt and lake salt.

The amount of salt on the earth is enough for human beings to use for a very long time, but the distribution is very irrational.

In the modern world, with a strong industrial system and transportation system, this necessity can be delivered anywhere.

But in this world, where salt is scarce, it is not only expensive, but also in short supply.

The poisonous salt in Xiao Yu's mouth is actually mineral salt, a salt mine containing a lot of impurities.

These impurities are harmful to the human body, and eating them in large quantities can lead to mineral poisoning. Therefore, even if the people nearby know the existence of mineral salt, they can only guard Baoshan and can't eat it.

But Wang Xiao has a way to solve this problem.

There is all kinds of knowledge on the Internet in the modern world, and Wang Xiao has also seen the method of filtering mineral salt to purify and remove poison.

What he has to do now is to purify a large amount of mineral salt here and sell it in exchange for the materials he desperately needs.

Liangzhou is not the most salt-deficient here, because there will be caravans transporting salt from Longyou Road. It is the tribes of the steppe that are really most scarce in salt.

Wang Xiao planned to exchange salt and iron tools for cattle, sheep and horses from the tribe, and even recruited local cannon fodder to send them to death.

Of course, the premise is that he must first purify the mineral salt to an edible level.

There is a rock wall on the edge of a small river, and the mottled blue-red salt ore is directly exposed. Some of the forest beasts will lick the rock walls for a while to replenish the salt after drinking water.

Xiao Yu, who had anger in his beautiful eyes, watched coldly as Wang Xiao commanded people to level the ground on the riverside and build various equipment.

Although there was a look of dissatisfaction on her face, in fact, the woman's evaluation of Wang Xiao was quite high.

That's right, although she was angry because of Wang Xiao's request, she felt that others were good.

This is not because she is fine, but because she knows very well that she is now a prisoner, if Wang Xiao really wants to do something to her, then she has no way to resist.

But Wang Xiao didn't really humiliate her. On the contrary, it's not bad for her.

In this world where morality is degraded and humanity is disregarded, this is really a rare thing.

After placing all the objects, Wang Xiao waved his hand, "Go and smash some salt mines." ”

Dozens of wrestlers rushed over with hammers and axes, smashing down a large pile of salt mines.

"It doesn't matter what kind of ore it is, the first thing you have to do to purify it is to crush it."

Wang Xiao stood aside and pointed out to Xiao Yu: "The more broken it is, the better." ”

Able-bodied sergeants smashed the salt mines with hammers and then loaded them into stone mills to crush them.

When the salt ore became a fine powder, Wang Xiao then asked the soldiers to pour the powder into a wooden barrel and stir it with water to dissolve it completely.

"The next thing to do is to filter. First of all, filter out all the impurities in the large particles. ”

It may be that he has a professional habit of being a teaching assistant, and Wang Xiao is now a good teacher, "Mineral salt cannot be eaten because it contains a large number of impurities and toxins in addition to salt." As long as these impurities can be removed, the pure salt that remains can be eaten. ”

Wang Xiao instructed the sergeants to cover the wooden barrels with multiple layers of linen, and then continuously filtered the dissolved salt water over and over again.

Looking at the black linen that was dyed, Xiao Yu's eyes gradually became shocked.

The change is obvious.

The salt mines, which had been black and blue, had gradually become clean, which also stimulated the enthusiasm of the sergeants.

There was a shortage of salt in the northwest, and the caravans from Chang'an sold salt at an extremely high price, but they had to buy it.

Now that they can produce salt here, they can buy cheap salt. The money saved can be used to buy candy for the children to eat, and you can also buy a few more feet of cloth for your mother-in-law.

When there are interests, people are full of motivation.

So it's useless to say chicken soup or anything, and it's easy to say anything when the money is in place.

If the company opens tens of thousands of dollars a month, let alone overtime, I have no problem living in the company every day.

"That's okay?" Xiao Yu looked at the solution that had been cleaned in surprise, and felt extremely surprised by Wang Xiao's magical methods.

"The larger impurities are filtered. However, toxins such as arsenic still have to be adsorbed away. ”

Xiao Yu didn't understand the meaning of trace elements, but she already believed in her heart that Wang Xiao could do it.

The best way to detoxify is naturally charcoal adsorption.

Directly crush the charcoal and wrap it in linen, then pour the brine into the linen. After going back and forth a few times, the toxins in it are basically absorbed.

The final step is much simpler, turning the brine solution into a salt cube again.

The best choice is naturally to be exposed to the sun, but Wang Xiao needs to see the results immediately, so the iron pot is set up to boil the salt water.

looked at Wang Xiao, who was standing there with one hand behind his back and pointing, directing the sergeants to be busy. Xiao Yu suddenly felt that the man in front of her seemed to be wrapped in a halo of light, and she had never been able to understand him.

Reaching out to remove a piece of cyan salt from the pot, Wang Xiao turned around and came to Xiao Yu and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

'Hmm~'

The woman covered her mouth angrily and wanted to vomit, but Wang Xiao directly covered her mouth, "Swallow it, it's very precious." ”

Xiao Yu, whose face was discolored, poured half of the water into his skin very much, glared at Wang Xiao viciously, and then walked to the side of the iron pot to take a closer look.

"It's in good condition, it's about the same as the green salt I use to wash my mouth."

Xiao Yu, with a complicated expression, stared at Wang Xiao, "How do you understand this?" ”

"We must thank the omnipotent netizens with a pious heart, they are the real gods."

Looking at the confused woman, Wang Xiao stepped forward with a smile, "I won." ”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and ignored him.

"I knew you weren't keeping your word." Wang Xiao shook his head again and again: "How can you be a man without faith." ”

At this time, Xiao Yu simply turned around directly, got on the horse and ran in the direction of Jincheng.

Looking at her back, Wang Xiao sighed regretfully.

Yan Shicheng took away most of the soldiers and horses in Yanbei, and what Wang Xiao has to do now is to replenish the troops and reserves.

There are distilled spirits and wines, as well as high-quality table salt. All of this can be exchanged for a lot of wealth. In addition to money, what is urgently needed now is food.

Fortunately, the water and grass here in the Hetao are abundant and the climate is suitable. There is also the Taotao Yellow River as a water source supplement, and the grain harvest is quite high.

Wang Xiao led people to rectify the irrigation system and reclaim more fertile land. The most important thing is that he freed all the Han slaves and distributed them with fields.

He cites part of the government military system. Those who promise to have someone in the family who is a soldier can be exempted from rent. Farming and training in his spare time, and enlisting as a soldier in wartime.

Disabled war dead are exempt from taxes for the whole family on an annual basis. At the same time, the children of the family are selected to inherit the status of government soldiers.

Wang Xiao's actions, especially the release of Han slaves, aroused great dissatisfaction among the local steppe people.

It's just that at this time, Dawei was in a stormy chaos, and some dissatisfied voices disappeared after the army pressed the border.

That is, his identity is the prince of Dingbei, and his methods are tough and ruthless. Otherwise, those grassland people who stayed behind would have turned the sky upside down long ago.

In this era, the status of the Han people in the north was extremely low, which can be seen from the title of the two-legged yang.

Wang Xiao's efforts to elevate the status of the Han people aroused the resentment of the grassland people, but he was supported and grateful by the local Han people.

This is actually very important.

Before this, because they were afraid of the Han'er's resistance, the Xianbei people did not allow the Han'er to serve in the army. On weekdays, they can only cultivate the fields as peasants to provide grain and grass materials for the Xianbei people, and they are proper serfs.

Give the Han people a field and give them the opportunity to be sergeants.

With a knife and gun in hand, this is the most crucial step to get rid of slave status.

In fact, in Wang Xiao's opinion, if it weren't for the Han dynasty south of the river, if it weren't for the bloody nature of the Han people in the north.

Perhaps in a few hundred years, this ancient land, which our ancestors carved out with countless blood, will fall to the same tragic end as India.

For Wang Xiao, this is a terrible disaster that makes him shudder just thinking about it.

When Wang Xiao was accumulating strength here, bad news finally came from Guanzhong in the south.

The Great Wei Emperor was worried about the attitude of the gate lord world who remained neutral, and forcefully led his soldiers and horses to leave Chang'an City to fight Yuwentai in a decisive battle.

From Zhengzhi's point of view, this choice is not wrong. Militarily speaking, this was a terrible decision.

The soldiers and horses in the hands of the Great Wei Emperor are only half of Yuwentai's, even if they have the support of nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses brought by Yan Shicheng, the strength in Yuwentai's hands is even stronger.

The armies of both sides broke out in a decisive battle near Fenglingdu in Taizhou. The two sides faced each other across the river, and the prolonged fierce battle resulted in heavy casualties on both sides.

Yuwentai, who didn't want to lose too much national strength, chose to buy it.

At the critical moment of the battle, the Xiuli army suddenly turned back and let go of a section of the river defense they were defending.

A large number of soldiers and horses of the Yuwen family crossed the river through here and stormed the Great Wei army from the flank.

This crucial change led to a complete passivity of the Great Wei army.

At this time, Emperor Dawei showed the timid and cowardly side of his character, and he chose to flee at the most critical moment.

The consequence of the emperor's escape was the complete collapse of the entire Great Wei army.

Yu Wentai naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately pursued the army, killing a river of blood.

In order to cover the emperor's escape, Yan Shicheng led the Yanbei army to snipe desperately and fell into a heavy siege.

After rejecting Yuwentai's persuasion to surrender, Yan Shicheng and the Yanbei army were all annihilated under the siege of Yuwen's army.

When the news came, almost every family in Yanbei was white.

When Wang Xiao returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion from the newly cultivated fields, there was already a cry here.

"The eldest husband is shrouded in horse, and he is just begging for mercy. Nothing to cry about. ”

For Yan Shicheng, who was loyal to the Emperor of the Grassland, Wang Xiao's evaluation was not high. Naturally, there will be no sadness for him.

According to the rules, Wang Xiao will inherit the position of Yan Shicheng and become the ruler of the entire Xiliang.

The envoys of the imperial court who came over this time also brought various canonized will tiger talisman seals.

"Your Majesty has an order, and the land of Yanbei should send more than sixteen men to Chang'an City to meet the rebellion."

Emperor Wei, who was already in turmoil, was still fantasizing about being able to completely squeeze the last bit of strength of Xiliang and go to his throne to accompany him to the funeral.

"yes, I see." Wang Xiao waved his hand, "Go back, the reinforcements will set off in a few days." ”

After all the outsiders left, Wang Xiao looked at the Yan family in the house and said, "Da Wei is finished, the Yan family can't accompany Da Wei to the funeral." We've done enough. ”

"You are now the Marquis of Dingbei, you can make your own decisions." Bai Sheng looked haggard and was in a trance.

"Yes."

Wang Xiao did send reinforcements, but those were all grassland people scattered all over Liangzhou.

Staying here will be a hidden danger, so it is better to take this opportunity to get rid of them all.

The land of the Han family should only belong to the children of the Han family.

The battle between their Xianbei tribes, Wang Xiao didn't have the heart to participate in it. What he has to do now is to strengthen the strength in his hands.

When he leads the army south in the future, it will be the time to completely expel those steppe tribes.
