Chapter three hundred and ninety nine, salt
With the rapid development of civilization in all worlds, many merchants and shops have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. And most people in this era pay attention to food and clothing, so among these many shops, there are especially many restaurants.
The restaurant run by Luo Ji had the golden signboard of His Majesty the Emperor placed there, so the business was naturally unlikely to be bad, but the long queues that were seen when the restaurant first opened were no longer there.
But now, with the two rows of barbecue racks set up, there was once again a long queue outside his restaurant. It felt like he was back on top.
Naturally, Luo Ji didn't take the hotel's revenue seriously at all. The entire world of civilization belonged to him, so why should he care about that little money? And his purpose this time was undoubtedly to promote sunbathing.
The first batch of coarse salt has just been delivered from the salt workshop.
However, it is still in the promotion stage, and coarse salt has not officially started selling yet. He is not in a hurry. He will do enough promotion first, so that people can fully understand the benefits of the seasoning "salt", and
Pique their interest before talking.
I have said before that salt is a very important resource. To put it in a scientific way, eating salt can replenish the sodium needed by the human body. To put it more bluntly, if you don’t eat salt, you will lose strength.
Of course, the second half of the sentence is not absolute, because some other foods also contain sodium, but eating salt is the easiest way to supplement sodium and also has the lowest threshold.
From the perspective of commercial interests, salt is very profitable. The key point is that as long as you know how to dry salt, then as long as you guard Qingshui Lake, the salt resources will be inexhaustible.
, it is a completely costless business, and salt is a necessity for everyone, so no one will buy it, so how can the profit not be high?
At the same time, it is precisely because of this huge profit that if merchants are allowed to dry and sell salt privately, it will inevitably disturb the balance of the entire economic system of Wanjie Civilization.
In addition to the importance of salt to the human body, in ancient China, salt, which was not rare at all, was sold and sold under the control of the imperial court. It was commonly known as official salt. However, it was a serious crime to dry and sell salt privately!
In this way, Luo Ji naturally had no intention of handing over the 'salt' to the merchants. At this time, it was safer to keep important resources in his own hands to avoid causing any trouble.
On a new day, I looked through the reports in my hand. The smooth promotion of coarse salt made Luo Ji feel good recently. Now many people in the civilization of all worlds are talking about this new seasoning.
In just a few days, the salt drying workshop will deliver a batch of freshly dried coarse salt, and after stockpiles are stocked in various cities within the civilization, the coarse salt can be sold at the same time.
Just when Luo Ji was thinking about the entire salt sales system, an urgent report from the front line was quickly delivered to him!
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the North!"
After receiving the urgent message from a guard, Luo Ji couldn't help but frown slightly, "Northland..."
Over in the North, Luo Ji had taken a heavy hand. Two hundred well-equipped werewolf warriors, plus fifty crossbowmen and one hundred and fifty shield soldiers, couldn't stop a group of barbarians and hyenas.
people?
With this doubt, Luo Ji quickly opened the urgent letter and took a look. Then his pupils suddenly shrank, "There are actually so many hyenas in the mountains and forests of the north?"
Zhou Yi wrote very clearly in the urgent message sent back that although a hard fight could be won, the casualties would inevitably be high, so he adopted the method of entangling the hyenas and recruiting the barbarians at the same time. For this purpose, a group of
People met them outside the mountains and forests of the North.
Luo Ji undoubtedly agreed with Zhou Yi's method. What civilization in all worlds lacks now is military strength. How can they fight with a group of hyenas to lose money? As for the candidate to take over...
The fox-man tribe had almost wiped out all the tribesmen who had gone on an expedition due to the series of explosions in Iron Wall City. At this time, it is estimated that they will not be able to recruit too many troops.
The kobold tribe can still recruit a lot of troops, but these kobolds have just surrendered and are not particularly honest. They need to be beaten again. Luo Ji is a little uneasy about letting them go now.
The elephants were almost killed by his bloodletting gun before, and they are still recovering. They lost too much blood, so if they can survive, they are considered strong, but they may not be able to move in a short time.
After being ruled out for a while, we could only send out the Minotaurs. At the same time, just in case, Liu Meng's deputy general, Zhang Lue, was called to lead a hundred-man team to cooperate with this operation.
After Luo Ji finished writing the order, after thinking for a moment, he handed the order along with the talismans for mobilizing troops and horses to his chief of guard, He Liang.
"He Liang, this time, you personally go to the Northland and set off immediately. After passing on my warrant, stay there for the time being and help me keep an eye on the situation. If there is any emergency, remember to report it to me in time.
.”
"Subordinates take orders!"
He Liang solemnly took the order and military talisman from Luo Ji. After exiting the office, he quickly ordered people to prepare fast horses and food. Then, following Luo Ji's wishes, he set off immediately and rushed to the front line non-stop to deliver the order.
At the same time, on the other side, in the mountains and forests of the North, Li Ke and Zhou Yi could not rest for a moment. The hyenas' blood-curdling howls almost resounded throughout the entire forest!
Feeling the pressure approaching from behind, Li Ke, who led a group of werewolf warriors, acted according to the plan, fought and retreated, and dealt with the group of hyenas all the way, but did not fight hard at all.
Looking around, Li Ke sniffed and sneered in his heart as he looked at the hyenas who were spreading out to the left and right and outflanking them. Those two places were not very safe...
Just as Li Ke was thinking this, the hyenas trying to outflank him from both sides clearly stepped on the trap set there. After missing the mark, his heavy body immediately fell into the pit trap.
Afterwards, bursts of shrill screams rang out. The bottom of the pit trap was covered with sharpened wooden stakes. According to the weight of the hyena man, if he fell down, he would end up with a disastrous outcome.
Know.
Regarding this result, Li Ke's own mood was rather subtle. Who would have thought that before it could lure this group of hyenas who like to surround and kill, he would be so eager to step into the trap?
In any case, the maneuvers on its side are going quite smoothly. Even though traps are used a lot, these hyena people will definitely be on guard, but they can still buy a few days.
And how far they can achieve it in these few days depends on the efficiency of Zhou Yi and Jie Zichuan...
