"Where did you get this salt?" Liu Jing asked with an eager expression.

Liu Jing knew what this salt meant, and if she could have it in large quantities, it would be a huge fortune.

Seeing Liu Jing's reaction, the little vanity in Bai Lijian's heart was satisfied, and this time he honestly explained: "Sir, I made this salt myself." ”

"Really?"

Liu Jing looked at Bai Lijian in disbelief. Originally, Liu Jing thought that Bai Lijian had obtained these salts from an unknown tribe, and was going to grab some when the time was ripe.

"Of course, it's just that I didn't bring back many raw materials, so I only made a little bit of it."

"Great! Before, I was still worried about how to live in the future, but now, many problems can be solved. Liu Jing breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Why, did you have a lot of difficulties before, sir?"

"Haha, it's not all about money. Money may not seem like much to you. Just because you can make such good green salt, you can live a rich life wherever you go. But the group of people who follow us, they don't have your ability, they live a life of licking blood with knives, and they can earn a little more. So we have to have enough wealth to drive them. But this is not a long-term thing, there are many people who have more wealth than us, and once the other party gives more wealth, then our situation is dangerous. ”

"I understand what Mr. means, money can only guarantee temporary loyalty, and we must have our own team." Bai Lijian nodded.

"But it also takes money, and it takes more money!"

"Why is that?" Baili Jian Qi Dao.

"No one would give their life to someone else for no reason. Giving money is one way to do it, and it works quickly, but it doesn't last long. The other is to use affection to make others treat you as someone who must be protected, and are willing to give their lives for it. This method takes a long time, and I don't know if you have the patience to keep paying for it. ”

"People's hearts!" Bai Lijian muttered silently in his heart. No matter what time it is, people's aspirations are always the strongest backing.

"But what we lack most now is not money, but people." Bai Lijian said: "The process of making salt is not difficult, but it requires a lot of people. If we don't have enough people, we can't produce salt in large quantities. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the most worthless thing in troubled times is human life. Believe it or not, just go out and talk to those bandits, and I'll promise they'll give you the whole world of people like chickens. ”

"Then go and tell them that if they can catch someone and come back, they will have a share of the salt that will be sold in the future. The more people you catch, the more you get! ”

"Huh?" Liu Jing opened his mouth, he just said it casually just now, but he didn't expect Bailijian to be more thorough, this is to completely treat those horse bandits as human traffickers.

"Isn't that crazy?" Liu Jing said worriedly.

"We're too weak now and we have too little time left. The speed at which we cleaned up Feiyu Village was too fast, and we didn't react for a while, but once he reacted, he would definitely come again. So we have to recruit enough people as soon as possible, even if it doesn't make much of a difference, to build a strong voice. ”

"Well, since you've decided, I'll tell them. In the next time, I am afraid that the cottage will be lively. Liu Jing smiled bitterly.

Regarding Bailijian's crazy moves, Liu Jing still has scruples.

Now the people in the cottage are too mixed, the largest number are the tribe of Helanda and the captives of Feiyu Village, the number of them is more than a hundred, but the combat effectiveness of this group of people is relatively weak, as long as they are not united, there is not much threat.

After that, the first subdued horse bandits and Suheluo's surrendered subordinates, these people are not many in number, but their combat effectiveness is the strongest, and they are also the mainstay of the cottage. This group of people is relatively loyal to the cottage, but it is limited to a small number of people, and most people choose to obey out of fear and the temptation of money.

The interior is still unstable, and if a large number of people are forced to come in at this time, then the whole cottage will be chaotic.

Liu Jing's worries are very clear in Bai Lijian's heart, but with the current situation, survival is the first priority. As for the internal problems, they can be put aside for the time being, and it is not too late to deal with them when the problem of not collecting at night is solved. Moreover, the more complex the internal forces, the less threatening they are to the rulers.

Although Liu Jing felt that Bailijian's idea was crazy, Liu Jing still chose to believe Bailijian. When Liu Jing told Bai Lijian's thoughts to those horse bandits, the entire camp was boiling. If it weren't for Liu Jing's desperate efforts to maintain order, this group of people would have rushed out and robbed their heads.

At this time, Bai Lijian, who was sitting in the tent, had a solemn face, and the bait had been scattered, and then it was up to the prey to react. During this period of time, the silence of the night made Bailijian very uneasy, and the poisonous snake that could not be dormant was the most alarming.

What Bai Lijian has to do is to lure out the poisonous snake that does not collect at night, and the poisonous snake that appears is much easier to deal with than hiding in a dark corner.

The method of making salt is the bait prepared by Bailijian for the night, how big the benefits are, Bailijian knows it, let alone not collecting it at night, even if it is the leader of other tribes, he will be excited.

Bai Lijian did not release all the horse bandits, but released five squads in batches, each time in a group of ten people. This not only ensures the dissemination of news, but also ensures the combatable forces in the cottage.

In addition, with a unit of 10 people, we can also better temper the combat ability of these people to unite and cooperate. At the same time, Bailijian also stipulated that the captured population was the record of the entire group, and the future share would also be distributed on a group-by-group basis. For the Bailijian from later generations, individualism is very rejected, and the fewer such people in a team, the better.

The bait had already been sold, and in order to make the bait even more tempting, Bai Lijian gathered some of the prisoners who had surrendered and sent them to the salt pond to collect salt mines.

In order to reduce the difficulty of transportation, the crushing, grinding, dissolving and other steps in the early stage of salt production are completed near the salt pond, so that what is brought back is highly concentrated salt, and only the toxic impurities in it need to be removed to be pure salt. In this way, it not only reduces the difficulty of transportation, but also ensures the confidentiality of salt production technology.

The next thing Baili Jian has to do is to set up the trap and quietly wait for the prey to take the bait.
