The Khanate, located in the southwest of the Northern Regions, has a vast territory of saline-alkali land, with many salt lakes and ponds, rich in various salts. It was also one of the six tribal khanates of the Northern Regions and the only neutral khanate in the Northern Regions.

A salt lake is a type of saltwater lake, a lake with a high salinity (mainly chloride) in arid areas. The salt lake is a product of the development of the lake to old age, it is rich in a variety of salts, and is an important mineral resource.

The donkey cart driven by Ji Xin and his party has entered the territory of the Hott Tribal Khanate, and the donkey is very obedient, not as violent as a bad horse, and it is very quiet along the way.

In the middle of the donkey cart, there are more than 30 yellow sheep, tied around the cart.

The donkey cart passed by a saltwater lake.

Zhuoerta was driving the donkey cart at the front, Yan Liuhe was guarding behind, and Kong Liang was asleep. Ji Xin had just been replaced by Yan Liuhe, lying on the cargo in the middle cart, and Wu Rina was sitting next to him.

Look, he said that he was asked to accompany Uzhina, who had just been fed the yellow sheep hay, but now it was good, and it became Uzhina to accompany him. Oh yes, yes: cow dung doesn't fertilize flowers, flowers adorn cow dung.

"Great, we have finally stepped into the territory of the Hottribal Khanate, and I can already smell the salty smell. Uzhna closed her eyes and stretched out her arms.

"It's really beautiful here. Ji Xin pillowed his arms, looked up at the sky, and also looked at the snow peaks that came into view.

Snow Peak, the highest roof of heaven in the westernmost place, is still the blue sky on the Hulinbuir grassland, and it has not lost its color because it is far away from the Hulinbuir grassland. And, because of a substance, the sky is in harmony with the land.

This substance is salt.

Salt is not ordinary salt, salt comes in a variety of shapes, including pearl salt, glass salt, coral salt, crystal salt, snowflake salt, vermicelli salt, mushroom salt, etc.

In some of the salt lakes of this land, the natural crystalline salt can be extracted from below by removing the salt cap that is more than 10 centimeters thick. The mined brine, which recrystallizes into salt after a few years, is truly inexhaustible. Salt is a landscape, a landscape that can be described as vast. She is crystal clear, in a variety of forms, and people can't put it down. Being in the midst of the flowers makes people reverie boundlessly, as if roaming in a fairyland.

Of course, the land under the feet of Ji Xin and his party now and the saltwater lake next to it do not have such abundant salt, nor do they have the feeling of being in a fairyland. However, with the intersection of water and sky, saltwater lakes and snow-capped peaks, they can already smell the tip of the iceberg of the hot scenery and yearn for this land even more.

"Oh my God, it's too rich here, I feel like we're going to make a fortune this time!!" Zorta took off her boots and flipped them upside down.

He could feel the ground beneath his feet salty, for his feet had long since blistered and worn away, and the dirt stinged him very much.

"This place is not only rich but also has a strong folk style, you should know that Zolta Anda, so next, we have to tense our nerves all the time!!" Kong Liang looked serious.

This guy, I don't know when he woke up, is still sitting on the cargo. The walnut bracelet in his hand is so flicked, not to mention, it looks like a three-point strategist.

"Of course I know, so before I entered the Khanate, I bought a batch of good quality swords early," Zolta looked cunning, and pointed to the dark compartment under the cart: "It's all here, spending that old nose money, but it hurts my heart." ”

"I said, there are fewer and fewer meat in the food these days, and you have bought these iron pieces for the coils, don't you know that the iron smelting industry of the Hot Khanate is also one of the best in the Northern Regions? Kong Liang suddenly changed his sad face, and the momentum just now was instantly lost and he couldn't find the north.

Everyone was talking and laughing all the way, and the donkey cart had already arrived at a village.

It is said to be a village, but in fact it is more than a dozen yurts, because there is no grassland here, the people cannot graze, and they can only engage in other occupations to earn a living. Among them, the salt industry is the main industry in this place, followed by iron smelting, and there are some small handicraft industries.

"Wordy Liang, quickly show our sign!!" Wu Rina beckoned Kong Liang.

"Really, let me do all the heavy work, in vain I have the talent to eat with my brain. Kong Liang scratched his head, but he still didn't dare to disobey the order, and honestly hung out the flag.

The banner made of cloth and silk is carried by an iron spear, and the inscription "Under the Zhuoer Tower" is written.

Let's take a look at these dozen or so yurts.

Because the Khhot Tribal Khanate was almost a large salt lake, it was not easy for the people to draft water, so the people generally built yurts around places with fresh water. These more than a dozen yurts are built around a freshwater well, but what makes Ji Xin and the others strange is that the yurts come and go are women, children, old and young, and there is no young adult.

"Here, businessman," an old woman who was fetching water noticed them, put down her bucket, and beckoned to them.

Zolta hurried the donkey cart and walked towards the old woman.

"It's all the barley noodles of the Eternal Fire tribe, and the yellow sheep hunted on the Hurimir steppe, you see, their wildness is still there!!" said Zolta.

"Well, it's your first time doing business, right? But your goods are really good, you wait a minute, I'll call someone else. The old woman sniffed the barley wheat, looked at the fur of the yellow sheep, and nodded.

In a few moments, several women and children surrounded the donkey cart with baskets on their backs.

"See, I'm not lying to you, are I? These yellow muttons are very good, you look at the strong hind legs, they must have been galloped on the grassland to be so developed, and they are best used to make ham. The old woman proudly introduced herself to her neighbor.

"Okay, how do you sell this? I want one. An old woman began to touch the coins in the basket.

"Don't rob me, my child is about to be served, I want four, and this barley wheat is the best for wine, I also want three bags." Another woman was also calculating.

As a result, everyone rushed to the top.

"You don't have to rob it, we will come here often in the future, please remember the name of Zolta. Zhuoerta waved his hand, pulled Kong Liang out, and began to settle accounts for everyone.

This time, most of the goods on the donkey cart have been gone, and the box under Zolta's ass is about to be full of coins.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to do business. Yan Liuhe said.

“······” Zolta moved her mouth, but smiled, and said nothing.
