Chapter 12 Pricing Power and Economic Warfare
Yingda hurriedly picked up a handful of salt soil from under the water, and tasted it curiously, although the taste was a little weird, but it was indeed salty.
"These are coarse salts, and then after some processes of purification, refined salt can be obtained."
The bell drum explained, and while twisting some salt soil to test the feel.
Looking at the still wet piece of salt soil, his heart suddenly moved, and the elemental power instantly covered the past, and the power of dust took effect immediately, and the salt particles and dust floated one after another, and they were replaced by flying powder hovering around the fingertips of the final.
"Is this the power of the final sister? Is dusty salt also within the scope of this power? ”
The bell and drum carefully observed the operation of the elemental power of the end, and connected Rimuru to call the background system for data analysis, but the observed situation was still the normal use of the power of the demon god, but the expression of the end was not like this.
"I haven't tried to manipulate the dust of salt before, and today it was just a whim, but I tried it...... It doesn't seem to be any different from manipulating dust as usual. ”
In the end, he regained his elemental power and didn't care about this trivial matter.
"Now that it has been proved that there is indeed salt in the seawater, the next thing is to refine and purify the coarse salt. Little bell and drum, it seems that you are already confident? ”
"Don't worry, sister, I've already roughly figured out the method, I'll give you a look at it later when I adjust it a little, just prepare your manpower."
"That's good, it's just ...... If you want to boil seawater to extract salt, isn't it too overkill to rely on an immortal like Inductor who can control the power of the fire element, but if you rely entirely on manpower, it ...... to invest?"
"Hehe, of course I also thought of this, there are too few people who can control elemental power, so I still have to find a way that everyone can use, and it is convenient and labor-saving...... I'll go back with you later. ”
The bell and drum pulled to the end, and he was about to go back in a hurry, but before leaving, he made a look with Xiao, and Xiao nodded understandingly.
"What about this salt pond? Do you need to bring all this coarse salt back? ”
Yingda asked worriedly, but Bell Drum replied rather carelessly.
"It's just some coarse salt, now that we have mastered the method of making salt, will there be a shortage of salt in the future? I'm going to put all this coarse salt here, and I'm too lazy to move it back. ”
The sound of the bell and drum was not small, and in the end, it seemed that the bell and drum were deliberately done, and there was no word to organize, and the group returned to the Guili Collection.
As soon as the group returned to the Return, Yingda finally realized that something was wrong.
"Huh? What about Xiao? He's still there, huh? ”
"I've got him busy, and he should be back later."
Zhong Gu smiled, and did not elaborate on what Xiao was busy with.
"After all, sister, who will be responsible for the matter of salt? I can't do this, I'm just coming up with an idea, but no one else is helping me. ”
After all, he smiled and said to Ying Da and Ganyu:
"Yingda, will you take Ganyu to rest first? In addition, please help me invite Liuyun and Bolin, and I will wait for them with Zhonggu in Guixu Palace. ”
"Okay, Lord Dust."
"By the way, if Xiao comes back, trouble will also let him return to the Ruins Palace."
After Yingda and them left, the bells and drums followed the return to the west and returned to the set, and came to the Guixu Palace by the Luhua Pond together. This palace is the temple of the end, every brick and tile is made of dust, and at a glance, all the architectural decorations seem to be flowing.
And in that elegant courtyard, large glazed lilies are in full bloom, just to get a happy glimpse from the mistress of this palace.
"Just sit down, you let Xiao stay by the sea, is it someone who wants to investigate the salt in the ground?"
"Sister Finale has just heard the reactions of those people, and I just want to know what is going on inside the Salt of the Earth. After all, listening to what you and Brother Zhongli said, it doesn't look like the Salt God would make enemies with us at such a time. ”
After all, he pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache, and said with some distress.
"Strictly speaking, Heulia is also a demon god who has not yet reached adulthood, but she is late in her life, and her early experiences are a little different, so she has developed such a character."
"What kind of character?"
"Hmm...... To put it nicely, it is not ambitious, prefers peace, and is quiet and indisputable. ”
"You can be ruthless, anyway, Aunt Liuyun and they haven't come yet."
"It's lazy to eat, it's not ambitious, it's stupid and you don't know it. She is a demon god, but she does not want to forge ahead, she is controlled by human priests, and she is addicted to her own square inch of the world, and it is only a matter of time before she perishes. ”
Although she may seem gentle, she is also a decisive demon god who can lead humanity to occupy one of the richest lands in Liyue, and her strength and wisdom are not to be underestimated.
However, her neighbors were so war-averse and passive, and even did many things that she thought were extremely stupid, which was intolerable in the end.
"It seems that Sister Jie has a lot of opinions about this demon god, so we have to think about their strategy after that."
In the end, he glanced at the bell and drum playfully, and there was a faint expectation in his tone.
"It seems that we all have some ideas, let's talk about it?"
"Sister Finale, in fact, you and Brother Zhongli both know that the salt of the salt in the earth is actually not an important matter, even if we don't purchase it from the Salt God Tribe, we can have other ways."
"What makes you angry is that the Salt God Tribe used this unimportant bargaining chip to provoke the authority of Guiliji and Tianheng, vacillating between different forces, and even ...... Think highly of oneself. ”
In the end, he fiddled with some of his sleeves, and said without hesitation:
"You're right, the salt of the earth is mediocre, and it's easy to destroy them, but it's just ...... The demon god that is also believed in by the human side, we can't use thunder means against it, so we can only try to fight for it. Who knows, this actually made the people of the Salt God Tribe have a ridiculous judgment about their position. ”
"Therefore, the actual ruler of the Salt God Tribe is not Heulia."
"Heulia doesn't have the ability or the interest to take charge of a tribe. In fact, the leader of the tribe of the salt gods was the priest of Heulia. ”
"Then it seems that as long as our future actions are aimed at the forces of this priest and not against the salt god himself, there should be no problem, right?"
"What? Do you want to take out the Salt God Priest? It's not that I haven't thought about it, but he is a demon god priest, equivalent to the existence of a demon god's family, so it's not good for us to attack him directly. ”
"In the end, where did my sister go, we have to deal with a person's power, how do we need to fight and kill."
After all, he was a little puzzled and looked at him in surprise.
"So what are you going to do? Without using force, how can you let them know the pain. ”
The bell and drum are a little embarrassed, but they really have a deep understanding of the simplicity of the people of this era.
"At the end of the day, sister, the important resource of salt in the earth is salt, and even they are pillar industries.
"But after that, they will not have an exclusive monopoly on this thing, and after Gui Liji can also produce salt, they can compete with them for one thing."
"What's that?"
Finally curious.
"Pricing power for salt."
