Chapter 118: The Big Neck
Among the citizens of Haiwei City, he found a citizen who already had symptoms of big neck disease, and Liu Ye asked him to take the prepared kelp pulp. In order to win the trust of this stubborn old man, Liu Ye must make the kelp work quickly, but those who are already very serious big neck disease cannot be made by kelp alone, and must use a special 'medicine', because it is no longer a simple iodine deficiency disease.
Three days later, the citizen who had a big neck found that the swollen part had completely disappeared. And the feeling of powerlessness that I used to feel uncomfortable has not been alleviated a lot.
Seeing this, the old man no longer objected, and led all the citizens of Haiwei to completely surrender to Liu Ye.
The appearance of kelp not only adds a new delicacy to the metropolis, but also alleviates the urgent needs of the metropolis.
The mutated kelp is not only rich in iodine, but also contains salt. This salt is filtered by the kelp itself, which not only satisfies the salt required by the human body, but also contains other rich elements.
It's just that this kind of salt is not much, and it can only be used for part of the salt problem, and most of it still depends on salt production technology.
However, relying on the combination of local salt production and sea salt, coupled with the replenishment of kelp, has been able to greatly alleviate the current embarrassment of the capital.
Of course, the first problem at present is to clear the sea area occupied by the mutated kelp from a *** place, this work is more dangerous, and can only be completed by people whose strength is above the 'squire' guard rank.
Everyone had tasted the delicious taste of kelp, which also 'stimulated' their motivation to collect kelp. In just two days, all the mutated kelp around Haiwei City was swept away, and the dark green 'color' slowly disappeared.
Tons of kelp were collected, and the hearts of the citizens of both the capital city and Haiwei City were filled with the joy of harvesting. These things have been tasted by the whole city, and they are well-deserved delicacy.
Two-thirds of the kelp was transported back to the capital, and the remaining one-third was given to the citizens of Haiwei. The populations of the two cities determine the ratio of kelp, and even so, the citizens of Haiwei still feel that they cannot use up the kelp in their hands.
At this time, Liu Ye 'handed over' them a way to preserve kelp.
The kombu is dried over a fire and the impurities left over from the previous salt production are applied to it. After a while, these kelps become dry goods, and after being re-soaked in water and eaten, the taste does not diminish at all.
The impurities of the kelp are retained in every household, and these things are not difficult to find, they are originally waste, and they can still be used now, which also amazes these Haiwei citizens.
Liu Ye also transported a large number of impurities from the salt producer, and those kelp in the capital also needed to use these things to preserve. Anyway, there are many such things, and there is nothing to care about.
Of course, the bulbs of kelp are preserved, and these bulbs are the key to Liu Ye's kelp cultivation.
Hundreds of large pits were dug on the shore, each about three meters deep and three meters long and wide. The pits are five meters apart, and kelp bulbs are placed in them, filled with seawater, leaving a ditch that can communicate with the sea, which is usually closed.
Iron cages of the same length and width were installed around the pit, and the gap between the cages was very small, only half a centimeter thick.
The cage was made overnight by Liu Ye's order to the steel mill in the capital, and the cage rod of the cage was all sharpened into sharp blades, as long as the kelp stretched outward, it would inevitably be cut.
There are only four jobs a day in Haiwei, checking the cages for corrosion, picking up broken kelp, feeding the kelp, and changing the water.
Liu Ye's cultivation method can be said to be completely based on the instinct of kelp to grow outward, and with the help of strength, these kelp can be safely obtained without much effort.
Only the casting level of the Dadu Iron and Steel Plant is limited, and even if it is fully masterminded, it can only reach the level of one a day.
In desperation, Liu Ye could only settle for the next best thing and temporarily replace it with bone products, but its durability was much lower. Every time you change the cage, it's a dangerous job.
With the deepening of farming, the citizens found that feeding these kelp different foods will bring different tastes. If you feed too much meat, the kelp will have a 'meaty' taste. If you feed the plants purely, you will have a botanical taste. But its nutritional content remains largely the same, and it's a very amazing creature.
When kelp farming stabilized, some citizens of Haiwei who were not skilled in salt production turned into kelp farmers, and their experience of living by the sea made it more than enough to do the job.
"Lord of the City, the Sea Salt Factory has been renovated according to your instructions, and after the two salt-making technologies are combined, the efficiency has increased a lot, and in about a month, you will be able to provide the salt you need!" The old man bowed down and said to Liu Ye that he had completely recognized Liu Ye.
The old man's prestige among the civilians is very high, and Jiang Hai used to manage Haiwei City through this old man. In fact, Jiang Hai was not the founder of Haiwei City, he was originally just a middle and low-level manager of Haiwei City, and he colluded with foreign aid to win Haiwei City. But he knew that he lacked prestige, so he forced the old man to manage it for him.
The old man's name is Gu Yang, and he is the slave of the previous city lord, although he hates Jiang Hai, but the other party threatens all the citizens of Haiwei City. Gu Yang had no choice but to agree in order to prevent his master's foundation from being ruined.
Who knew that Haiwei City was still 'messed' by Jiang Hai and almost destroyed. Gu Yang also thought about it after this incident, so he surrendered to Liu Ye. In his opinion, as long as the city of Haiwei is developed, it is loyalty to the master.
Since there is such a competent housekeeper, Liu Yesuo 'sexually' designated Gu Yang as the acting city lord of Haiwei City. In his absence, Furuyo has full authority to represent the day-to-day affairs of Haiwei City.
At the same time, it also helped Gu Yang pass the first layer of energy and improve his strength. Gu Yang looked very old, but in fact he was only in his forties, and the ravages of the environment made him only age early.
Although Liu Ye helped Gu Yang to practice the first layer of Xuan Qi, Gu Yang's physical fitness was too poor, according to Liu Ye's estimate, it was a gift from God that he could cultivate to the third layer.
Even so, the first layer of Xuan Qi was enough for him to live for twenty or thirty years.
"The master is very gracious, Gu Yang will definitely smear his liver and brains, and he will not hesitate to do so!"
Obviously feeling the easing of his physical condition, Gu Yang felt even more 'excited', Liu Ye was equivalent to giving him a second life, Gu Yang directly recognized Liu Ye as his second master.
Liu Ye's persuasion was ineffective, but Gu Yang was very persistent, so he had to agree. In this way, Liu Ye has completely established a firm position in Haiwei City, as long as Gu Yang is there, no one in Haiwei City will oppose him.
In order to protect Gu Yang, Liu Ye conducted qi into the body for the ten people recommended by Gu Yang, and after a lot of effort, helped them reach the first level of energy and Xuan Qi.
These people were not only faithful, but also of good physical fitness. Several of them also have the talent of ability, as long as they practice diligently, not only will the ability be 'excited', but also have the opportunity to reach the third level of the energy Xuanqi.
The damaged part of Haiwei City was also repaired and re-strengthened during this time, and Liu Ye brought some materials from the capital city to strengthen the defense of Haiwei City.
Liu Ye knew from those simulated crystals that this part was all their strength in this area. In a short period of time, the city of Haiwei will not receive an attack from anyone.
Liu Ye also left Nan Tiancheng and Lie 'Meng' in Haiwei City to help guard and develop Haiwei City. And Liu Ye has another idea in his heart, since Haiwei City is close to the sea, why can't he develop maritime power with reference to the phantom wolf and black bear double guard?
It's just that due to the proximity to the sea, no suitable creatures have been found, and although most creatures have good attack power, they are too small to ride.
Another problem is that the citizens of Haiwei City are not physically fit enough to control these sea mutant creatures, otherwise they would not be 'made' helpless by a mutant kelp.
Gu Yang is in charge of the administration of Haiwei City, and Lie Meng' and Nan Tiancheng are in charge of training the citizens of Haiwei City to improve their military quality. As for the Wind Troupe, it was temporarily led by Liu Ye for further 'drill' training.
The Storm Mass has not yet fully integrated with the capital, and separating them from them at this point will cause some unstable results.
In order to strengthen his control over the army, Liu Ye changed the configuration of the army. Each team of 100 people is staffed by a Metropolis member, who acts as the team's support staff and is also responsible for strengthening the team's loyalty and cohesion.
Thinking that in the weak situation of those years, the Huaxia State was able to repel foreign enemies and establish a country, and the absolute loyalty and strong centripetal force of the army also played a key role in it. Among them, the setting of political commissar counselors can always grasp the movement of the army and fundamentally solve the problem of the atmosphere of the team.
Following this system, Liu Ye also added similar personnel. These personnel are not strong enough to become double guards, but they are extremely loyal and very infectious, and Liu Ye calls them Metropolitan Assistant.
After all, it's easy to say that there are fewer people in the team now, but when the team is more in the future, the fish and dragons are 'mixed', and these experienced assistants will play a key role.
It can be said that the effect is obvious, and under Liu Ye's life-like 'drill' practice and the tireless and earnest teaching of the metropolis, the wind group has become a member of the capital city from body to mind.
In the past, as thieves, they dissipated with the wind, and they are now members of the metropolis, staunch supporters of the metropolis.
The emergence of the Metropolis also caused a shortage of members in the Metropolis, and Liu Ye increased the recruitment of the Metropolis. The city of Haiwei also established a metropolitan branch, and the army construction there was also completely according to the configuration of the metropolis.
