Chapter 384: The Secret of Salt

The main island has now been destroyed by lava, leaving behind vast areas of fertile land.

The combined area of the four islands is not as large as the main island, so the three tribes are all eyeing the land of the main island.

As long as whoever occupies the main island, the tribe will be able to maximize the development space in the days to come.

However, due to the restrictions of the belief in the new gods, the three tribes are still waiting and watching, and they do not dare to land on the island easily.

Xiao Ai has been busy with this matter these days, and she keeps sending tribal warriors to patrol near the main island.

The two tribes, Nonka and Poka, are doing the same thing.

The two tribal leaders are not fools, they are well aware of the interests involved, after all, the future of the tribe is at stake.

Xiao Ai sometimes frowned all day long because of this incident, looking preoccupied.

She is no longer as lively and cute as a little girl before, and she has the momentum of a tribal leader.

Time passed day by day, and the day we left was getting closer and closer.

I decided to leave two things for my children when I left. The same is salt, the same is iron.

As for whether he can use these two weapons to unify the other two tribes, it depends on his own ability.

I made up my mind, got up early, left the room, and walked towards the council chamber.

The soldiers hurriedly reported the news back and forth on the road, giving people the feeling that a big war was imminent.

When I came to the door of the council chamber, the guards blocked the way, and there was no intention of letting me go.

I couldn't communicate with them, so I had to turn around and go back, ready to talk to Xiao Ai another day.

"Lu, do you have anything to do with me?" Xiao Ai's voice suddenly came.

I looked back and saw that Xiao Ai had just come out of the council chamber with the sacrifice.

"If you have something urgent, you can get busy first, and we can talk whenever we want."

Xiao Ai said a few words to the people around him, and then they hurriedly dispersed.

She came to my side, straightened her hair, and said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

I nodded and walked with her towards the cliff.

All the way, she had a big belly, and she kept thinking about something, and she didn't speak.

After arriving at the cliff, we looked at the rough sea and stopped moving forward.

"Lu, for me, for the sake of the child, stay here." Xiao Ai looked at me seriously and said.

I leaned over her and reached out and touched her belly.

The little guy actually moved, and seemed to be holding me back.

"Xiao Ai, you should know that I don't belong to this place." I looked at her and said.

"yes, it's not your world, and it's not where you're supposed to be." Xiao Ai sighed and said.

I reluctantly put down my hand and asked, "What do you want to tell me?" ”

"The main island has been baptized with magma, producing a large amount of fertile arable land." Xiao Ai said, "I want you to help us get it, for the sake of the Noti tribe, but also for our children." ”

I was silent for a while and asked, "How can I help you?" ”

"You're a messenger of the new gods, just a word." Xiao Ai said, "It's okay to recognize the main island as a gift from the new gods to Noti." ”

I patted my forehead, looked at her and asked, "The two tribal leaders, Nongka and Poka, will not easily admit my words. ”

"We'll take care of the rest." Xiao Ai said.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, looked at her, and said, "Are you going to use force?"

Xiao Ai nodded and said, "For the sake of the future of the entire tribe, it is necessary to sacrifice some warriors. ”

"Violence is the lowest means of resolving things." I looked at her and said, "You need to use your brain to win." ”

Xiao Ai looked at me and said, "This is the most effective way to solve the problem for a long time." ”

I sighed, looked at her stomach and said, "I hope our children won't be like you in the future." ”

Xiao Ai sighed and asked, "In this case, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" ”

"Let's sit down and talk." I said, "Don't try to take possession of everything at once." ”

"But everybody wants the most land." Xiao Ai said.

"Give them well, and they will definitely get it back sooner or later." I looked at her and said, "Your main task now is to stock up on food, develop the population, and build a solid foundation for our children. ”

Xiao Ai looked at me and said, "But when we are developing, the enemy is also developing!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll leave two sharp weapons for our children." I said, "Enough to destroy them completely." ”

Xiao Ai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What sharp weapon?" ”

"Salt and iron." I say.

......

That night, the warriors of the Noti tribe blocked the entire coast, and the sea was patrolled by boat.

I set up a pyre on the beach, and ordered Xiao Ai to fill a clay pot with seawater and put it on the pyre.

"Aren't you going to tell me the secret of salt?" Xiao Ai wiped the sweat from her head and said incomprehensibly.

I lit the pyre and said, "Don't worry, just wait and see." ”

After a while, the sea water is boiled, and the excess water begins to evaporate outward.

I kept filling the clay pot with firewood, and told Xiao Ai to continue adding seawater to the pot.

After an hour, the sea water is thoroughly boiled and the bottom of the pot is covered with coarse salt.

"It's the easiest seawater to boil salt." I looked at little Aidao.

Xiao Ai looked at the coarse salt in the clay pot with an incredulous expression and asked, "Why?" ”

I looked at her and said, "There's salt in the seawater, and it's the water when it's boiled dry." ”

Xiao Ai looked at the vast sea with a surprised expression, she couldn't figure out how the final answer to the curse that had been haunting them for generations was always in front of her!

"If you want mass production, you need to build salt pans." I looked at her and said.

"Yantian?" Xiao Ai is very unfamiliar with this new word.

"It's like a rice field, where the sea is brought in after the fields are built." I said, "When the wind blows and the sun blows, salt comes out of it." ”

Xiao Ai grabbed a piece of salt from the clay pot and stuffed it into his mouth thinking thoughtfully.

"It's best for you to know the secret." I said, "It's going to be your counterweight to the other two tribes." ”

"I see what you mean." Sachiko touched her belly, "What about the other weapon you left for our children?" ”

"I'll tell you in two days." I said, "Let's settle the matter in front of us first." ”

Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I immediately sent someone to send an invitation to the leaders of the two tribes, Nongka and Poka. ”
