Chapter 400 Salt

With the rapid development of Wanjie civilization, many merchants and shops have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and most of the people in this era pay attention to food and clothing, so among the many storefronts, the number of restaurants is particularly large.

The restaurant run by Luo Ji, with the golden signboard of His Majesty the Emperor standing there, is naturally unlikely to have a bad business, but it doesn't have the pomp and circumstance of the long queues when the restaurant just opened.

But now, two rows of barbecue racks are placed, but there is a long queue outside his restaurant again, and it feels like he is back to the top.

Naturally, Luo Ji didn't care about the restaurant's revenue at all. The entire civilization of the world belonged to him. Does he need to care about the money? And his purpose this time is undoubtedly to promote the first batch of coarse salt just sent from the salt drying workshop.

However, it is still in the promotion stage, and the sale of coarse salt has not yet officially started. He is not in a hurry for a while. He will do enough promotion first, so that the people can fully understand the benefits of 'salt' as a seasoning. Pique their interest.

It has been said before that salt is a very important resource. In a scientific way, eating salt can supplement the sodium element needed by the human body. To put it bluntly, it is powerless to eat salt.

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 it also has the lowest threshold.

From the point of view of commercial interests, salt is very profitable. The key point is that as long as you understand the method of drying salt, as long as you guard Qingshui Lake, this salt resource is equivalent to inexhaustible and inexhaustible resources. , it is completely a business without capital, and salt is a necessities of life for everyone, so you don’t have to worry about no one buying it. Can this profit be not high?

At the same time, it is precisely because of this huge profit that if the merchants are allowed to bask in and sell salt privately, it will inevitably disrupt the balance of the entire economic system of Wanjie Civilization.

Coupled with the importance of salt to the human body, in the ancient times of the celestial dynasty, salt that was not uncommon at all was controlled and sold by the imperial court, commonly known as official salt, and privately drying and selling salt was a serious crime!

As such, Luo Ji naturally didn't intend to hand over the 'salt' to the merchants. At this time, it would be safer to keep important resources in his own hands, so as not to cause any trouble.

On a new day, looking at the reports in his hand, Luo Ji was in a good mood recently with the smooth promotion of coarse salt. Now, within Myriad Realms Civilization, many people are already talking about this new seasoning.

In just a few days, the salt drying workshop will send over a batch of freshly dried coarse salt, and after hoarding stocks in various cities within the civilization, they can start selling coarse salt at the same time.

Just as Luo Ji was contemplating the entire salt trading system, an urgent report from the front line was quickly delivered to him!

"Your Majesty, the urgent report from the Northland!"

Taking this urgent report from a guard, Luo Ji couldn't help frowning, "Northland..."

On the Northland side, Luo Ji made a heavy hand. Two hundred werewolf warriors with excellent equipment, plus fifty crossbowmen and one hundred and fifty shield soldiers, couldn't they still defeat a group of barbarians and hyenas? people?

With this doubt, Luo Ji quickly opened the emergency report, and then his pupils shrank for a while, "How many hyenas are there in the mountains and forests in the north?"

Zhou Yi wrote it very clearly in the urgent report that was sent back by marshaling. Although a hard fight can be won, the casualties must be not small, so he adopted the method of entangling the hyenas and incorporating the barbarians. For this, a group of The people responded to them in the periphery of the mountains and forests in the Northland.

Luo Ji undoubtedly agrees with Zhou Yi's approach. What Ten Thousand Realms Civilization lacks now is its military strength. As for this candidate...

The fox clan had previously been destroyed by the series of explosions in Tiebi City. At this time, it is estimated that they would not be able to recruit too many troops.

The kobold tribe can still recruit a lot of troops, but these kobolds have only just surrendered, and they are not particularly honest.

And the elephants were almost killed by his bloodletting gun before, and they are still recuperating. They lost too much blood and can survive. It is already considered that their vitality is tenacious, but it is estimated that they will not be able to move in a short time.

After being ruled out for a while, the tauren could only be dispatched. At the same time, just in case, Liu Meng's lieutenant, that is, Zhang Lue, led a 100-strong team to cooperate with the operation.

After writing the warrant, Luo Ji, after thinking for a while, gave the warrant together with the military talisman to mobilize troops and horses to his chief guard, He Liang.

"He Liang, this time, you will make a trip to the North in person and leave immediately. After passing 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 over the warrants and military talismans from Luo Ji's hands. After exiting the office, he hurriedly ordered people to prepare fast horses and food. Then, according to Luo Ji's wishes, he set off immediately and rushed to the front line without stopping.

At the same time, on the other side, in the northern mountain forest, Li Ke and Zhou Yi were also unable to relax for a moment. The horrific howls of the hyena people almost resounded through the entire forest!

Feeling the looming pressure behind him, Li Ke, who brought a team of werewolf warriors, acted according to the plan, fought and retreated, and dealt with the group of hyenas all the way, but he did not fight recklessly at all.

Glancing around for a while, looking at the hyenas who spread out from left to right and flanked up, Li Ke sniffed, and suddenly let out a sneer in his heart, those two places are not very safe...

Just when Li Ke was thinking so, the hyenas who were trying to outflank on both sides obviously stepped on the trap set there. After stepping on the empty foot, the heavy body suddenly fell into the pothole trap.

Then, a series of shrill screams followed. The bottom of the pothole trap was covered with sharpened wooden stakes. According to the weight of the hyena, after falling down, the fate of the pit could be imagined. Know.

Regarding this result, Li Ke's own mood is also relatively subtle. Who would have thought that without waiting for it to lead, these hyena people who like to flank and kill, they can't wait to take the initiative to step on the trap?

In any case, the deal on its side went quite smoothly. Although the trap was used a lot, these hyena people would definitely pay attention to it, but how could they buy a few days.

And in these few days, what can be achieved depends on the efficiency of Zhou Yi and Jie Zichuan...

The update is here, thank you book friends for the monthly passes of 'Flanking Attack' and 'La La La La'!
