"Salt...... Of course! It's just ......" The guard glanced at Liu Ye strangely, not understanding why this man would ask this thing.

"Take me to see it!" Without listening to what the other party said, Liu Ye couldn't wait to order the guards.

For thousands of years, the preservation of food at low temperatures is just one of many ways to do so. At least as far back as he can remember, there are several methods that are no less effective than low temperatures.

It is one of them to marinate the 'meat' with salt and remove the water to achieve the purpose of preserving the 'meat' quality.

It's just that things will not always go so smoothly, and something will inevitably go wrong in the last days.

The guards led Liu Ye to a small building with only two floors, and walked forward to say something to the more than ten heavily armed and serious guards in front of the building. The guards glanced at Liu Ye again, and then reluctantly opened the iron 'door' in front of the building.

"Something is not good! Looking at the appearance of this garrison, salt seems to be a scarce resource in the capital! Liu Ye frowned slightly and walked in.

It may be that the water in the place where the salt is stored is not good to retain, and the air in the building is very dry, and there is a slight burning feeling.

It's just that Liu Ye's heart sank more and more as he went, and things were even more tense than he thought. Most of the bags sewn from animal skins have dried up, and from the first floor to the second floor, only a few dozen bags of salt are still intact.

"Why is there only such a small amount of salt?" Liu Ye turned around and asked a guard who followed in, the guard who led the way stayed outside, obviously not high enough to enter here.

"City Lord ......" The guards here also knew Liu Ye's identity after being introduced, so they didn't dare to be negligent, and bowed down and replied.

"In fact, there are already a lot of salt reserves this year, and in previous years, there was less salt here every winter!" The guard looked at Liu Ye and said carefully.

He had also heard some of the guards talk about the new city lord, and it seemed that his temper was not so good, and it was not difficult for him to kill people at every turn.

"What? Can't the metropolis produce salt on its own? Liu Ye's heart moved, and he had already guessed something.

"Produce it yourself? City Lord, you are joking, salt production technology, where is the most important secret, as far as I know, no one in the capital city has mastered it! The guard said strangely, not understanding how Liu Ye could ask such a question that the people of the city knew.

"Damn! The main brain, the pig brain, didn't even tell this, and thought that the capital city had already had this ability. Things are a little hard to do now! Liu Ye frowned.

The importance of salt to the human body is self-evident, and a person can go without food for three days and water for a week. But if you let a strong man try it without salt for two days, he is afraid that he will walk with weak feet.

And in the last days, the effect of salt on people has reached the bottom of no return. Without the replenishment of salt, the ubiquitous nuclear radiation of the last days alone is enough to kill ordinary people.

"The lack of salt is also one of the reasons why people die in winter!" Although he was a little frustrated, Liu Ye finally found the reason again.

"Dream Dragon! Contact me with the Mastermind! Liu Ye immediately turned on Menglong's remote contact ability.

Since Liu Ye experienced that genetic optimization experiment at the main brain, Menglong has also been updated by the main brain, and this wireless communication in the middle distance is a new ability.

"Hey...... What's up! Liu Ye's ears came the voice of the mastermind obviously angry.

"You pig brain, what's going on with the salt in the capital?" Liu Ye ignored a certain brain's mood and asked directly.

"Salt? What's wrong? The mastermind didn't seem to understand the meaning of Liu Ye's words.

"What's wrong? Why don't you teach salt-making techniques in the metropolis? Don't you know how important salt is to human life? Liu Ye was furious.

"Salt technology?"

"That's right! That's it! Liu Ye replied while slandering psychologically, whether it is a person or something else, it is verbose when he is old.

"It's simple, I won't!" The mastermind said unusually dryly.

"You won't? Are you kidding? As one of the Nine Brains, you don't even know how to make salt? You are a three-year-old child! When Liu Ye heard this, he scoffed and said coldly.

"Who said that as one of the nine brains, you must know everything? As I already said, Lao Tzu is good at biochemical medical technology, and that kind of salt making technology doesn't exist in my database at all! The mastermind said with the same dissatisfaction.

"You ......" Liu Ye was speechless for a while, and what the main brain said seemed to be reasonable. From the way the city's citizens dealt with the 'meat' class just now, we knew that the mastermind was not clear about some basic survival experiences, otherwise they would not have waited for Liu Ye to come to deal with it.

Although pre-war technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the rules of storage compression have been taken to a higher level, it is still impossible to put everything into a single computer. That's why people chose to build nine masters, each of which was loaded with the most 'refined' technology of human beings, and for the inheritance of technology, they stored some basic knowledge for human beings to learn.

As for some other food preservation and preparation skills, they can only be excluded, because in the eyes of those technicians, only those skills are 'refined' and the most important.

Survival experience, human beings can accumulate themselves over time. But they forgot that in such a harsh environment as the end of the world, they can't even survive, so how can they have any 'essence' to learn any bullshit knowledge.

"Then how can a person survive the winter without salt?" Liu Ye suddenly felt that his head was big.

I thought that many things could be solved by using some pre-war knowledge, but I didn't expect that I was also a clever 'woman' and it was difficult to cook without rice.

"Solve it yourself, or you think this city lord is for nothing?" After speaking, the main brain took the initiative to close the communication, but listening to the tone of the sentence just now, there was clearly a refreshing feeling after venting.

"Holy! It's really a thief ship! Liu Ye was so angry that his teeth were 'intertwined' up and down, clicking.

"Hey! Where did all this salt come from? Liu Ye turned around and asked.

Since it is not made by itself, then it is bought. If so, there may be a chance to get more salt.

"It was shipped from Qinhuang City in the south."

The guard saw that Liu Ye was silent, but the expression on his face was unpredictable, and he was scared and nervous in his heart, thinking that there was nothing wrong with this city lord's 'spirit' spirit. Suddenly hearing Liu Ye's question, he was shocked, and hurriedly replied.

"Qinhuang City in the south?" Liu Ye compared the location of the capital city with the map of China in the past, and immediately understood what the guards were talking about.

"That place happens to have the sea, and it's really a good place to make salt!" Liu Ye nodded secretly.

"There is only another way, before Nan Tiancheng and they find what I want, they can only use all the resources of the capital city to the greatest extent possible."

"Take everything you can burn!" If a plan can't be a plan, Liu Ye ordered again. (One light click of yours warms my entire codeword life.) Literature Network Military History Channel, more 'fine' color content is waiting for you! ）

"You mean fuel? It's just that these fuels are used for winter, and Lord Nan Tiancheng once said that these fuels are not allowed to be used until the last resort. Liu Ye's order made the guard's face look difficult, and he hesitated.

"Am I the lord of the city or is he the lord of the city? Do as I say right now! Liu Ye said angrily.

The three of Nan Tiancheng have been operating in the capital for many years and have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It's okay for Liu Ye to do other things, once some decisions conflict with Nan Tiancheng and them, the implementation will be hindered somewhat.

This is also the reason why Liu Ye sent the three of them out of the capital, since he decided to be the lord of this city, then he had to do his best. The three of them will undoubtedly hinder their actions in the city at present, and the best way is to let them out of the city, and then take advantage of their absence, to initially establish their own majesty in the hearts of the citizens.

And how to establish one's own majesty naturally has to be achieved by solving the most pressing problems of the capital city at present.

The guards ran out one after another to convey Liu Yedi's order.

The people of the capital city are not unhappy, and the training of these guards by the three of Nan Tiancheng is the only thing that satisfies Liu Ye. Within an hour after Liu Ye issued the order, the fuel was transported to Liu Ye.

"That's all the fuel?" Liu Ye looked at the alignment of the three hills in front of him and asked in disbelief.

Liu Ye couldn't believe that with such a large population in this capital, these fuels were simply not enough to need!

Without enough food to replenish calories, without warm clothing to conserve calories, without enough fuel to provide calories, it is strange that people do not die in winter.

"It seems that even if Nan Tiancheng and they find what I need, if these three things are not improved, the damned people will die as well!" Liu Ye said secretly in his heart.

"Yes, that's all there is to it!" At this moment, a man who looked like the captain of the guard walked out next to him and replied.

"Are you Gan Rong?" Liu Ye felt that the man in front of him was a little familiar, and only after watching it carefully did he recognize it.

Gan Rong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Ye to know him, but he quickly recovered, gave a standard military salute and said, "The deputy captain of the guard team has seen the city lord and the captain!" ”

Liu Ye sighed with emotion in his heart, how long has he not seen this military salute, he also replied to the other party with a military salute of bricks, and said, "En...... In that case, you command them in the following matters! ”

Gan Rong's performance Liu Ye has seen it in his eyes early, it is undeniable that this person is very capable, otherwise he would not have been favored by Bei Yanfu and became the former captain of the guard.
