Why do the people of the tribe value salt so much?

When there is no salt, it can actually go on, but after having salt, that strong ** is completely stimulated.

Whether it is the people here or the tribes on the other side of the sea, they all believe that salt can strengthen their bodies and improve people's minds, and it is a gift from God, and with it life can there be passion.

The tribesmen fought for territory, prey, etc., and salt was also one of the factors that provoked the war.

Vatsa said that the salt mine occupied by the tribe was discovered hundreds of years ago, and the first person who discovered the salt mine failed to hold the salt mine, and even the tribe suffered, and I heard that in the end the whole tribe moved to the city, and there was no way, but he could not fight the other tribes, and in order to prevent a greater blow, he ran away.

And after that, the battle for salt mines entered a white heat, and the Yanjiao tribe did not give up this piece of fat, and finally squeezed out the others and grabbed a position, but to monopolize it, they couldn't rely on their ability at that time, the tribe had few people at that time, less than a thousand people, they could seize a place, in addition to their own strength, the Taihe tribe played a great role in it, this humane Yanjiao people have always remembered, over the years, they have also been cooperating with the people of Taihe.

For hundreds of years, the battle for salt mines has not stopped, but the five tribes have never changed, and it seems that they have unified the battle line and do not allow others to get involved. It seems that they have an agreement with the outside world, and the five tribes are cooperating, but in fact, there are secrets inside.

The five tribes that occupy the salt mine can have fewer people, but there must not be more people!

"That salt mine is a treasure land!" Wacha sighed. This is one of the reasons why he has been emphasizing the need to reclaim the salt mines.

"Elder, do you know the rebukes?" asked Vacha.

Shao Xuan thought for a moment and nodded, "I heard it." It's just that I've heard others mention it when I went into the city to trade, and I don't know much about it. ”

The Relu tribe is a tribe that believes in salt, and there are many legends about salt in their tribe, and it is said that the earliest salt was discovered by them, saying that an ancestor of the Relu tribe saw a strange animal. The animal took him to a lake, and then he saw a miracle. The miracle is a salt lake.

And the totem of the reluding tribe is the strange-looking animal, called the "salt beast", no one has ever seen that kind of animal, some people say that it is a fiction of the reluding people, but the reluding people have always believed in the existence of salt beasts.

True or false. No one can say for sure, but later the six tribes rose up to build cities and became aristocratic slave owners, which also led to changes in other tribes.

The salt lake of the Lu tribe was occupied, and the salt lake occupied by the six major tribes was not able to snatch it back, and they were passive. The whole tribe was scattered. The scattered Lulu people entered the six cities, and sometimes helped the nobles make salt. Make a living from this, but a few years ago, I heard that the nobles discovered a new salt spring, and gathered a part of the people of the Lulu tribe to build a city there, named it Luyan City, and there were quite a few people who went to Yancheng of Lulu.

Of course, Vatsa brought up the rebuke of the Lu. It's not to let Shao Xuan understand the history of reprimanding the Lu people.

"The salt-making skills of the rebuke people, just like the casting and forging skills of the Gongjia family, are well-known among the tribes, even if they are slave owners, if they ask someone to make salt. There are also many people who are looking for rebukes. The salt made by the Lulu people is very expensive, and most of them are enjoyed by the nobles, and others need to spend several times as much money to buy it. Vatsa said.

Shao Xuan can understand this, just like the golden valley produced in the Golden Valley Grange in Jiju, they are all famous in various places, from the city to the mountain tribes, they have all heard of it.

"However, except for the five tribes that occupy our salt mines, no one knows at all that the salt from our salt mines does not require a delicate and complicated extraction process at all, and the salt obtained is much better than theirs!!" Speaking of this, Vacha was full of pride, and of course it was worthy of pride that his tribe could seize such a good resource.

It is no wonder that the matter of salt mines is rarely mentioned, which is a deliberate downplay of the existence of salt mines, so that fewer people are aware of this matter. Even more than half of the tribesmen didn't know what the salt mine really was. The people of the tribe were only told that the salt they used should not be traded externally, and if they wanted to trade, they would go to someone who was in charge of this kind of trade, and they would naturally arrange it. And the people of the tribe have always followed this instruction and have never made an exception.

Not only the Yanjiao tribe, but the other four tribes, Liehu, Sen, Shanfeng, and Taihe, they all did the same thing, and they kept it a secret.

It is true that high-quality salt can be sold for a higher price, and it can even trample the famous rebuke people and exchange it for more things from the Rokubu Castle, but the danger is just as great.

If they are to sell such things, they will definitely arouse the covetousness of the six cities, and with their style of conduct, they will definitely meddle in the affairs of the salt mines, and the rebuke of the Lu people is a lesson from the past! Therefore, the five tribes will not leak the news at all!!

Because of this, after discovering the quality of the salt mine, the five tribes will unanimously abide by a rule, and will never let the new tribe interfere, nor will they release the news.

As for the salt that was traded to other tribes...... Even in such an excellent salt mine, there is a difference between salt and salt.

"We pick salt in the salt cave, and the ones on the top of the salt cave will be put aside after picking, and those are all good salts, which are reserved for our own tribesmen, and will be secretly transported back to the tribe in the future, so that no one else will find out about the difference. ”

"The salt on the roof of the cave you are talking about is the one we usually eat?" asked Shao Xuan.

"Yes, that's it, when you look at it, are those salt cubes a little reddish?" asked Xiang Shao Xuan.

"Definitely. At that time, Shao Xuan found that the color of the salt cubes he had received was different from what he had seen before, but the taste was very good, and everyone was also like this.

"The salt mined in our salt mines has a stronger taste than the salt from the lake and the new salt springs of the slave owners, and has a sense of majesty and power. After eating, the soldiers were allowed to eat unsalted barbecue. You may not have that much of an appetite. We once tried some salt from the city of Antigua and Barbuda, but it didn't taste as good as the salt from our salt mines! Sometimes the trading team would come back with some salt, but it was only of inferior quality, just to cover up. "Wa senses that the tribe is very clever in this way, it is not obtrusive, and it can also play cover.

For the tribesmen. It's not meat, it's power! And salt plays an important role in that.

"The salt at the top of the salt cave is harvested for your own use, so the salt from other places is traded when it is picked?" asked Shao Xuan.

"Yes, the salt we traded out was from other locations in the cave, and although the salt quality was okay, it wasn't much better than the one on top. In some places, the salt mined is even worse, and everyone does not use it. The salt is also sold to others. ”

The tribesmen do not save money, keep the inferior things for themselves, and keep the better things to sell, this kind of behavior is extremely stupid for them, so they keep the best for their own people, and sell the worse quality.

This is true of the Flamehorns, as are the other four tribes. Especially in the salt caves they dug, close to the salt mined on the salt cave floor. I won't keep a piece for myself. This secret is shared by the five tribes.

So, in addition to the five tribes who are guarding here. The other tribesmen don't know how good the salt in this salt mine is, even if they take the salt they bought from the five tribes and go to the city to trade with people, others won't have too many ideas, and even if they do, they won't be strong, after all. Now more and more salt springs and salt ponds have been discovered, although most of them are occupied by the six nobles, but there are still some in the hands of the tribesmen, so they will not go all the way to the mountains and forests because of a salt mine.

Something happened in the salt mine, and the Fierce Fox and the Sen tribe used salt to entrap some people to help them. The salt used is also inferior salt, and the core secrets will not be leaked at all.

"Oh, Elder, you must not have seen the original appearance of the salt mines we just mined. As he spoke, he reached to his side and took out a leather bag that he had with him, and in it contained a small jar of wide-mouthed jars, made of the bones of a ferocious beast, the size of a fist, and plugged with a wooden stopper.

Vatsa pulled the cork off, and the clay pot was pressed down on the palm of his outstretched hand.

When the jar was opened, Shao Xuan saw the first time he saw the piece of salt in Wacha's hand, thinking that it was a piece of fresh meat!

"This is...... Salt?!" Shao Xuan looked at it in surprise, and if he looked closely, he did have the solid texture of the crystal, and the sense of the crystal must have been clearer when it was first mined, but it was carried by Vacha, and there was a slight change.

Vacha looked at the piece of salt stone in his hand, and his eyes seemed to have a scorching temperature, "This is what we picked up at the top of the salt cave, and when we boil it again, the color of the salt will be lighter, just like the kind you have been distributed, Elder." However, we mine guards usually use it directly, without boiling. Two days before the accident at the salt mine, I put a small piece of salt stone that had just come out and carried it in a jar, and I wanted to put it in when I was cooking broth with my brothers. As Vatsa said this, his burning eyes as he stared at the lump of salt cooled, as if he thought of the events of that day.

Most of the soldiers who went out would grind the salt and carry it, but some were more accustomed to carrying the whole piece, like the Vatsa stationed in the mines, and they carried pieces of salt with them. In addition to making tea with some herbs, the warriors sometimes consumed a lot of physical strength, and would also put a little salt in the kettle and drink it. It's not that they know what they know, it's that they act according to their intuition and their body's desires, what the body needs.

In addition to the usual salt, the hunted prey will also be smeared with salt, because the salt is smeared, the meat is not easy to rot, and it can be left for a longer time after drying.

I heard that some tribes who are good at weaving and dyeing cloth will deliberately buy slightly inferior quality salt, and their method of dyeing cloth involves salt, so the dyed cloth can be directly taken to the royal city and sold to those slave owners at a high price.

For the tribesmen, salt is distributed in all affairs of life, and the battle for salt land has always existed, even if there is no fire crystal, salt mine, the Yanjiao tribe will snatch it back.

"Elder, when you go to the salt mine, let's snatch the salt mine back, and you will be able to see more salt, when we sleep in the salt cave, we dream of these pieces of salt and stone. Vacha carefully put the salt cube in his hand back into the jar, licked his palm, thought of something, and suddenly said, "I dreamed of fire crystals yesterday, but when I woke up, I forgot all about them, I think that if we continue to dig down the salt cave, maybe we will see fire crystals." ”

Usually they dig holes along the horizontal line and continue to dig down after mining, but the mining method on the Fierce Fox side is different, perhaps, they dig down first before the first layer is finished.

Shao Xuan felt that this idea was also possible, the fire crystals he found in the sinkhole of Bat Mountain back then, except for those in the sinkhole, many others were deep in the mountain.

Perhaps, the salt of the salt mines is different and related to fire crystals. So many salt mines, how many fire crystals are there in the mountain or under the mountain?

"Is it three days later that the leader has decided to act?" asked Vacha.

Because of his injury, this time Zheng Luo didn't want Vacha to follow, and he didn't call him during the meeting, but the weapons assigned to Vacha were kept, and Zheng Luo wanted to wait for him to heal before giving them.

"Well, three days later, we went there separately from the people of the Tay River. Divide into three ways. Shao Xuan said.

Vacha scratched his head, he didn't want to miss this operation, "I went up the mountain to find the leader, now that I have almost recovered, I will definitely be able to go out with the team in three days!"

Seeing Wacha go up the mountain, Shao Xuan didn't follow, but walked to the duck shed.

The green fat duck had just poked its head out of the duck shed, and probably wanted to go out for a walk, when he saw Shao Xuan coming, and quickly retracted his head.

Pushing open the door, Shao Xuan saw the fat duck squatting in the duck nest and covering the duck eggs with its wings wide open, the hardness of those duck eggs must be good, otherwise it would have been cracked by the fat duck.

Shao Xuan walked over, ignoring the feathers of the duck, "Raise your wings, I'll see how many eggs you have snatched." ”

The fat duck did not move, and hesitated slightly.

"If I don't rob you, I'll see how many there are. Shao Xuan said again.

The fat duck slowly withdrew its wings.

"Get up and stand on the side, you are squatting in such a large area, how can I see clearly. Shao Xuan waved his hand to the side.

The fat duck reluctantly moved away.

Shao Xuan counted, thirty-one eggs, different colors and sizes, not snatched from the same nest, but they are all equally resistant to hatching, if they are the same as those ducklings before, they hatched early.

"Keep up the good work and hatch early. ”

When he came out of the duckshed, Shao Xuan noticed that the sky was beginning to snow.

This year's snow came a little earlier, and hopefully there will be no blizzard in the battle for salt mines. (To be continued......)
