Chapter 24 Salt Production
Qin Dali walked for two days with the supplies before arriving at Hefeng Town.
"Lord, your batch of supplies has solved our urgent need." After Su Mingda finished counting the supplies this time, he laughed and said.
"Oh? Are there anything we are missing now? Qin Dali asked suspiciously, since he had Su Mingda, the logistics were handed over to him, and Qin Dali had never managed it.
"My lord, don't you know, since we occupied this Hefeng Town, our supplies have been particularly tight." Su Mingda smiled bitterly.
"The grain is okay, after all, the people themselves have some grain reserves, and when spring comes, our food will not be a problem in the future."
"The most important thing is salt, tens of thousands of people in Hefeng Town, if there is no salt, then they can't live at all, our salt used to be enough for our own use, and recently more than half of it was allocated to the people, so we are very nervous now."
Yes, why didn't I think that in the Han Kingdom, like in ancient China, salt has always been an unimpeded shipment, distributed by the state, and there were no private salt merchants at all.
Since Hefeng Town was occupied by the Hu people, the salt of the government has been cut off, and the people have been able to hold on until now, and it is estimated that there is still surplus salt in the city lord's mansion at that time.
Hearing this, Qin Dali thought for a while and said, "Strategist, you ask someone to find some mineral salt, and then find me some tools." ”
As he spoke, Qin Dali said the names of a bunch of tools.
"Lord, who are you? Mineral salt is going to eat the dead, huh? Su Mingda was surprised.
"Don't worry, I can make salt, and the salt I make is better than what we eat now."
"What, my lord, you can make salt?" As he spoke, Su Mingda hurriedly shouted to the guards: "Hurry up, bring the things that the lord wants." ”
About two hours later, a pile of white and fine salt appeared in front of Su Mingda.
Su Mingda looked at the pile of salt in disbelief, reached out and stuck a little, and put it in his mouth.
"Lord, lord, this is really salt." Su Mingda said excitedly.
"We sent it, the lord we sent it, haha." Su Mingda shouted happily, the identity of the military advisor had long since been unknown to where he had put it.
Suddenly, Su Mingda's laughter stopped abruptly, and he said with a serious face: "You guys, you can't tell you about today's matter, otherwise military law will be involved." ”
"From now on, you will be in charge of salt production."
"Yes, Strategist."
Qin Dali saw Su Mingda's nervous appearance, and didn't say anything, after all, in this era, the salt maker has always been in the hands of the imperial court.
"Lord, I think you should go and see the Battle Phoenix Camp." Su Mingda reminded at this time.
"Oh?"
……
West of the city, the camp of the Zhan Feng Battalion.
At this time, there were more than 100 women, under the leadership of a female general, training seriously.
"Quick, quick, run, with your speed, how can you avenge your relatives on the battlefield, you are sending you to death."
"And you, can you speed up, think about what happened that night, how did the Hu people insult you, do you still want to be insulted?"
"Hurry up."
Xu Miaozhu kept yelling, and kept persecuting this group of female soldiers.
"Get on my horse and practice riding and archery now."
Xu Miaozhu shouted and said, only to see the female soldier who had just finished running quickly climbed onto the horse next to her and galloped.
These horses are all old horses that have been eliminated in the army, which is also what Xu Miaozhu and Qin Dali want.
About an hour later, the female soldier's thunderbolt was finished under the shouting of the virtual bamboo, and everyone fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
They used to be just women who could embroider, but now, after a few days of breaking, all their skin has turned wheat-colored, and they no longer look like women, and they have now fully grown into soldiers of the Snow Dragon Army.
"Zhan Feng Battalion, good, very good."
At this moment, a voice suddenly remembered.
Xu Miaozhu hurriedly looked behind him and said respectfully: "My subordinates have seen the lord." ”
"I've seen the lord." All the female soldiers got down on one knee.
"Get up." As he spoke, Qin Dali sat directly in front of a group of female soldiers: "Come, let's chat together." ”
Seeing this, many female soldiers all looked at this lord who met for the first time with curiosity.
"Lord, you ......" Xuan Miaozhu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Dali.
"It's okay, sit down and let's talk."
Seeing this, Xu Miaozhu had no choice but to nod.
"I've been watching you here for a long time, and you're very good, and some of them are even better than the men in the boot camp across the street, I'm very pleased." Qin Dali said with a smile.
"But what about ......," Qin Dali deliberately prolonged his voice.
made many people nervous, as if they were afraid that something was lacking and would be discovered by the lord.
"Haha, you don't have to be nervous, relax, relax." Qin Dali laughed: "But your horses can't do it." ”
"General Xu, this is your mistake, why don't you report it to me, just like that, Old Marco can't train the best soldiers."
"It's the lord, and his subordinates know their mistakes." Xu Miaozhu said respectfully.
"Okay, wait and apply to the military advisor, didn't we just get more than a thousand war horses, you return all the old horses to the military advisor, but one person leads a good horse, so that we can better train."
"Yes, my lord."
Qin Dali turned his head to look at the young faces, they used to be girls in flowers, but now they have taken up weapons and entered the army, although many of these are facilitated by the Void Bamboo, but they can't hide their enthusiasm to protect their families.
"Soldiers, I am really happy that you can let go of some and join the Snow Dragon Army with the body of your daughter, thank you very much."
"But, you know what? The battlefield is cruel, and there are no more dead people all the time, are you really not afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid." All the female soldiers said in unison.
"Good, good." Qin Dali asked again: "However, you are female soldiers, you should know that if a female soldier is caught by the enemy on the battlefield, then you will ......."
At this time, many female soldiers remembered this incident and showed panicked expressions.
Seeing this, Xuan Miaozhu suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said: "I definitely won't let them catch it, I will find an opportunity to commit suicide." ”
"Yes, I'll kill myself."
Hearing this, Chun'er also said loudly at this time, after all, he was a person who had been bullied by Hu Ren, and he didn't want to be bullied for the second time.
"Suicide, suicide."
As the two of them took the lead, all the female soldiers shouted.
Qin Dali nodded and motioned for them to be quiet for a while before he spoke: "What you said is right, I will ask the military advisor to customize a dagger for each of you, it is not used to kill the enemy, but to kill yourself." ”
As he spoke, Qin Dali looked at everyone lightly, and everyone's eyes were in his eyes.
It's not because Qin Dali is ruthless, but because female soldiers are destined to happen on the battlefield, since they have become soldiers, then Qin Dali will not treat them with the attitude of treating the people.
If you don't want to live or die, then you have to do it.
