I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 73 A Strong Smell of Money
In the afterglow of the setting sun.

Around the village on the west bank of the river, there are green farmland everywhere, surrounding the village, no different from ordinary villages.

And the east bank of the river turned out to be a vast and barren land, stretching as far as the eye could see, it was very conspicuous.

But it is not the kind of barrenness where no grass grows, but the kind of barrenness where there are no crops and scattered and overgrown with weeds.

These weeds are not lush, they are not as high as knees, they are scorched yellow, sparse, and bald.

At a glance, you can still see some white things on the ground, which is a bit like a frosty scene in autumn.

Salt land!
Summer is watery, winter is white, when there is drought, we harvest grasshoppers, and when it is flooded, we harvest toads.

When he was a child in his previous life, there was such a white-spangled saline-alkali land near the village.In winter, I would go there to sweep the soil and go home to pickle radishes.Spread a layer of saline-alkali soil in the jar, put a layer of radish, another layer of soil, and another layer of radish.

And the large barren land on the east bank of the river in front of him was exactly what he remembered, that is, the saline-alkali land!
Those white flowers on the ground that seem to be nothing are the crystallization of salt that has been exposed to the sun because of the drought for days.

Similarly, it is also white silver.

Perhaps, the "Refining of Bitter Salt" rewarded by the dog system can come in handy.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted loudly: "Fourth Uncle Feng, step aside to the east bank. Quick! Quick!"

Feng Laosi was taken aback by his shout, leaning towards the east bank?Could it be that when you come to this strange place, you can't tell the difference between south, east and north for a while?
He couldn't help pointing to the west bank again, where the sun had set, and reminded him: "Xiao Langjun, that's the west!"

Guo Yi didn't follow him, and raised his finger to the east: "Let's go this way first!"

The Taoist and the monk frowned at him, then looked east thoughtfully, not knowing what he was playing dumb.

Feng Lao Si knew now that this handsome young man with a good temperament was not lost, and quickly directed his eldest son to approach the east bank cautiously.

Since the shore was a rocky beach, he didn't dare to get too close, and Guo Yi didn't force him, so he stepped on the rocks and jumped ashore step by step.

Then, quickly ran to the large saline-alkali land.

The monk and the Taoist were full of curiosity, not knowing what he was going crazy, so they jumped off the boat and followed behind him.

After standing there, I really felt its barrenness.Apart from sparse weeds, there are no crops of any kind.Not even a tree.

However, the ground was covered with messy footprints.

After Guo Yi saw it, he couldn't help thinking about it and thought of something.But he didn't say anything, just carefully picked up a pinch of white 'Frost Snow' and put it in his mouth.

"Bah!" So salty!
The mouth is salty, but the heart is sweet.

Because, it was a strong smell of money.

The monks and Taoists next to him also imitated his movements.

"Pooh!"

"Pooh!"

So salty!so bitter!
"Is this salt?" The monk reacted immediately, staring at Guo Yi in surprise and asked.The Taoist stared at him in the same way, very curious, like a cat scratching.

"No!" Guo Yi pretended to be mysterious and shook his head: "This is not salt!"

A bright smile appeared on his cheeks, and he said devoutly, "This is money!"

Forehead…

The monks and Taoists were speechless.

Then, the Taoist suddenly felt something, and blurted out, "Can you get salt out of it?"

He couldn't help but think this way, this kid in front of him is such an evil Guo Erlang!
"I understand a little bit!" Guo Yi purposely made a fool of himself, then turned around and walked back.

"Ding! Discover the saline-alkali land, trigger the mission of making a fortune, the first phase of the mission: lead Liuhe Village and Hedong Village to make a fortune."

"Bonus: "Papermaking""

Hearing the pleasant system sound, the smile on Guo Yi's face suddenly froze, and then turned into anger.

This dog system actually wants to snatch salt from him!

Obviously, this is a saline-alkali land found near Liuhe Village, and that Hedong Village must also be nearby.If you want to lead Liuhe Village and Hedong Village to become rich, the only way is to dry and boil salt!
Salt is the king of all flavors. Since ancient times, those who get salt have won the reputation of the world!
This dog, the young master wants to earn some money, and be a second-generation ancestor who walks dogs and walks birds. Is it easy for him?

Finally found a large piece of saline-alkali land, before it was warmed up, it turned out to be someone else's?
What's the point of this?

But when he thought of the punishment for failing to complete the task, he immediately became tense again.

Alas!
Seeing that he didn't want to talk now, the Taoist didn't force him.After all, blocking water into Hankou is the first priority now.

A group of people boarded the boat again and leaned towards the west bank.After getting off the boat, we walked along the field path to Liuhe Village, where the smoke was curling up from the kitchen.

Men, women and children in the village, when they saw Monk Deyuan coming, they all came up to greet him happily.

There were also a few brats running fast, and rushed to notify Muramasa.

Then, the village official 'Chen Guangde' of Liuhe Village warmly entertained them.

The sixty-year-old villager held Monk Deyuan's arm with both hands, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into chrysanthemums, and there were few teeth left in his mouth. Master Deyuan, why are you here at this time? Don’t you only come here at the end of summer in previous years?”

Monk Deyuan laughed: "Someone came here from Zhangjiawan all the way."

After finishing speaking, he told his purpose again.

"Ah!" "Want to block Hankou?" Chen Guangde immediately raised his voice an octave when he heard it, his old hazy eyes stared wide open, and he looked at Monk Deyuan in surprise.

Not only him, but even the men next to him were a little stunned, and one of them stammered and asked, "Then, what about the boats in the river? The entrance to Han River is blocked, so how do we go to Han River?"

"That's right! Many people in our village live on the river!"

"Yes! Are you going to watch us starve to death?"

A rambling disapproval.

Guo Yi poked out a few branches from the big tree next to him, squatted on the ground, and began to gesture to them.

Once a few branches cross, a simple gantry frame is made.I made hemp rope out of a few long grass leaves, and found two small stones to use as a boat.Long blades of grass passed through the gantry and tied small stones.

Then, two hands took one end of the long blade of grass and hung the stone in the air.

It was a very vivid demonstration, and even the men in the village next to them, who could not read a single character, immediately understood the truth.

But they understood it, but they didn't immediately agree, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

When the monk saw their situation, he became a little anxious: "There are hundreds of men, women and children in Liuhe Village! If there is a real drought and the river dries up, hundreds of people will eat horse chews. How are you going to deal with it?"

But this group of men in Liuhe Village still kept their heads down and said nothing, worrying a lot.

Seeing their silent attitude, Guo Yi couldn't help raising his delicate brows, and asked one of the men, "Can you take out the salt in your house and let me have a look?"
