Chapter 399, Salt
With the rapid development of the civilization of the world, many merchants and shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and most of the people in this era pay attention to food and clothing, so among these many stores, the number of restaurants is particularly large.
The hotel run by Luo Ji has the gold-lettered signboard of His Majesty the Emperor placed there, and the business is naturally not bad, but it is also missing the grand occasion of the long queue when the hotel has just opened.
But now, the swing of the two rows of barbecue grills has made him queue up outside the hotel again, and it feels like he is back to the top.
For the hotel's revenue, Luo Ji naturally didn't pay attention to it at all, the entire civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds was his, did he need to care about that money? And his purpose this time is undoubtedly to promote the first batch of coarse salt that has just been delivered from the salt drying workshop.
However, it is still in the promotion stage, and the coarse salt has not yet officially started to be sold, so he is not in a hurry to promote it for a while, so that the people can fully understand the benefits of the seasoning "salt", and arouse their interest.
As I said before, salt is a very important resource, and in a scientific way, eating salt can supplement the sodium needed by the human body.
Of course, the second half of the sentence is not absolute, because sodium is also found in some other foods, but eating salt is the easiest way to supplement sodium, and it is also the lowest threshold.
From the perspective of commercial interests, the profit of salt is very large, and the key point is that as long as you know how to dry salt, then, as long as you guard Qingshui Lake, this salt resource is equivalent to inexhaustible, it is completely a businessless business, plus salt is a necessity for everyone's life, and no one will come to buy it, can this profit not be high?
At the same time, it is precisely because of this huge profit that if the merchants are allowed to dry and sell salt privately, it will inevitably disturb the balance of the entire economic system of the civilization of the world.
Coupled with the importance of salt to the human body, therefore, in the ancient Celestial Empire, salt that was not uncommon at all was controlled and sold by the imperial court, commonly known as official salt, and it was a felony to dry salt and sell salt without permission!
In this way, Luo Ji naturally did not intend to hand over the 'salt' to the merchants, at this time, it was safer to hold the important resources in his own hands, so as not to cause some trouble.
On a new day, looking at the reports in his hand, the smooth promotion of coarse salt has made Luo Ji feel good recently, and now there are many people in the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds talking about this new seasoning.
In just a few days, the Salt Workshop will deliver a new batch of coarse salt and stock up in the various cities within the civilization, and then start selling coarse salt at the same time.
Just when Luo Ji was pondering the entire salt selling system, an urgent report from the front line was quickly delivered to him!
"Your Majesty, an urgent report from the Northland!"
Receiving this urgent report from the hands of a guard, Luo Ji couldn't help frowning slightly, "Northland ......"
On the side of the Northland, Luo Ji has made a heavy hand, two hundred werewolf warriors who have changed into well-equipped equipment, plus fifty crossbowmen and one hundred and fifty sword and shield soldiers, can't they still stop a group of barbarians and hyenas?
With this doubt, Luo Ji quickly opened the urgent report and took a look, and then the entire pupil suddenly contracted, "There are so many hyenas in the mountains and forests of the Northland?" ”
Zhou Yi wrote very clearly in this urgent report sent back that although a hard fight can be won, the casualties will inevitably be not small, so he adopted the method of entangling the hyena people and absorbing the barbarians at the same time, for this reason, a group of people need to meet them on the periphery of the mountains and forests in the north.
Luo Ji undoubtedly agrees with Zhou Yi's method, what the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds lacks now is troops, how can it fight hard with a group of hyena people? As for the person who will answer the question......
The fox tribe was almost wiped out because of the serial explosions in Iron Wall City before, and at this time, it is estimated that not too many troops will be recruited.
The kobold tribe can still recruit a lot of troops, but these kobolds have just returned to obedience, and they are not particularly honest, and they have to be beaten again, so let them go now, Luo Ji is a little uneasy.
And the elephant people were almost killed by his bloodletting gun before, and now they are still recuperating, they have lost too much blood, and if they can survive, they are already considered to be tenacious, but they are estimated to be unable to move in a short time.
After such a period of exclusion, the bull-headed people could only be dispatched, and at the same time, just in case, Liu Meng's deputy general, that is, Zhang Luo, led a team of 100 people to cooperate with the operation.
After writing this warrant, Luo Ji, after thinking about it for a while, handed over the warrant to his chief of guard, He Liang, along with the talisman for mobilizing soldiers and horses.
"He Liang, this time, you personally go to the Northland, set off immediately, after passing my warrant, stay there for the time being, help me keep an eye on the situation, if there is any emergency, remember to report to me in time."
"Subordinates take orders!"
He Liang solemnly took over the warrant and talisman in Luo Ji's hand, and after exiting the office, he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare fast horses and food, and then according to Luo Ji's intentions, he set off immediately and rushed to the front line to give orders.
At the same time, on the other side, in the mountains and forests of the Northland, Li Ke and Zhou Yi were also not idle for a moment, and the creepy howls of the hyenas almost resounded throughout the entire mountain forest!
Feeling the pressure of approaching behind him, Li Ke, who led a team of werewolf warriors, acted according to the plan, fought and retreated, and fought all the way with the hyena people, but he didn't fight hard at all.
Glancing at the hyenas who spread out left and right, Li Ke sniffed, and suddenly let out a sneer in his heart, those two places are not very safe......
Just as Li Ke was thinking this, the hyenas on both sides who tried to outflank him obviously stepped on the trap placed there, and after stepping into the air, the heavy body suddenly fell into the pit.
Then, a terrible scream sounded, and the bottom of the pit trap was covered with sharpened wooden stakes, and according to the hyena man's own weight, after falling down, the fate can be imagined.
For this result, Li Ke's own mood is also relatively delicate, who would have thought that before it could be introduced, these hyenas who like to outflank and kill themselves would be so eager to take the initiative to step on the trap?
In any case, the maneuvering on its side is going quite smoothly, and although the trap is used a lot, these hyena people will definitely be on guard, but they can still buy a few days.
And how far they can go in these few days depends on the efficiency of Zhou Yi and Jie Zichuan......
The update is sent, thank you for the monthly passes of "Flank Attack" and "Lala Lala"!
