bloodbath song

Chapter 562
Ling Tao, who was stunned for a while, looked at the basin in front of him, and then at the surrounding mountains, and he probably understood something.

This basin is surrounded by straight cliffs, and there is only a narrow valley that goes out. Doesn't it look like someone forcibly dug it out between the mountains?I would like to say that there were mountains here, and then a piece was dug out abruptly, and then the basin in front of me was formed.

"After your reminder, I really feel that there seems to be some minerals here, and then they were mined in the open pit to form the current basin. It's just that the age of mining may be a bit long, so far away that it can't be seen at all. Traces of artificial mining," Ling Tao said thoughtfully.

Tieding was stunned, he never thought about it, Ling Tao really thought that he was just saying something casually, but after a closer look, isn't that the case?

"Then what minerals are there here? Gold, silver, copper, iron and aluminum? Or coal and jade?"Tieding said in astonishment.

Creaking... A gorilla grinding its teeth sounded behind Ling Tao. Apparently the gorilla was also extremely curious about what Ling Tao was talking about, and his big face moved towards this side vigorously.

Speechlessly stretched out a hand to push the gorilla, why are you here to join in the fun?However, Ling Tao was stunned again.

"Wait, the gorilla molared his teeth and said that he wanted to take in the trace elements in the stone. The gorilla found this place at the beginning, and now it has 'deceived' the villagers of Zhoujia Village to come here. That is to say, there should be something they need here. A kind of thing, grinding teeth..." Thinking of this, Ling Tao's eyes became brighter and brighter!
Ignoring Tieding's strange eyes, Ling Tao leaned down, broke off a stone from the cliff in front of him, took it into his hand and looked at it carefully. Facing the sun, he could clearly see some small white crystals on the stone reflecting light. Of course, If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to see it at all, but it really exists.

At this moment, not far away, several gorillas broke off a few stones from the cliff and threw them in their mouths, grinding their teeth, as if the stones were delicious.

Frowning, Ling Tao crushed the stone with his fingers. He took up a little of the powder in his hand, not afraid of getting dirty, and put it in his mouth. He frowned, the taste was very bad, but his eyes lit up.

"That's right, that's the thing. How did you say that, looking for a child behind your back"?Ling Tao poohed the stone powder in his mouth and said to himself a little excitedly.

"What did Mr. Ling find?"Tieding, who was beside him, asked, puzzled by Ling Tao's actions.

"Brother Iron, you will know if you try it"?Ling Tao pointed to the cliff in front of him and smiled, looking forward to Tieding eating rocks.

Tie Ding frowned, and followed Ling Tao's example. He took down a stone, kneaded it into powder, and put a little in his mouth. Then, he raised his eyebrows, spewed out the stone powder, and looked at Ling Tao in shock with excitement. Said: "Salt Mine"?
"It should be right, look at these gorillas, they use this kind of stone to grind their teeth every day, it seems that they are ingesting the salt in the stone, and, didn't you try it just now, this stone powder is salty and bitter, it must be There is no doubt about the salt mine, and it seems that the salt content is not low," Ling Tao laughed.

The problem that troubled him was solved at once, how could he not be happy.

"Really talk about the salt mine, now it's ready, I'll let everyone try it now and see if I can get the salt out," Tie Ding said excitedly, and he didn't need Ling Tao's order, and he would jump all of a sudden Get down and start working.

There is no way not to be excited. After eating food that has no salty taste for so many days, everyone can fade away like a bird. After a long time, people will die. Now that I discovered the salt mine all of a sudden, I can't help being excited.

"That's right, there used to be an open-air salt mine at a certain period in history." Ling Tao looked at the huge valley and said to himself, but what made him strange was that since there were salt mines all around, why It can still grow plants. In other words, Ling Tao is not good at chemistry and biology, so he can't understand these things...

Tieding ran down, and immediately arranged several people to knock down a few stones from the cliff, smash them into small particles, borrow a stone mill from the villagers, grind the particles into powder, and finally dissolve them in the water Stir, and find a cloth, filter the muddy water dissolved in stone powder, filter out the residue, and then, almost get clear water, then pour the clear water into a large pot, start to boil, as the water evaporates, gradually , Yellow-white crystals began to appear in the pot.

After the water was completely boiled, there would be a large piece of yellow-white crystal left in the pot. Tie Ding was not afraid of the soup, so he just broke off a piece and put it in his mouth. His eyes narrowed immediately, feeling bitter from the salt.

"Really, there is salt in the salt mine," Tie Ding said, looking at the surrounding cliffs with bright eyes, almost crying with excitement. Salt mines are resources.

Extracting salt from the salt mine is a good thing that other forces do not have. If you take it to the base city, you can sell it for money and exchange it for various materials!The so-called not being in charge of a family does not know how expensive it is. Tieding once said that he was the leader of the Big Sword Gang, so he immediately thought of it so much.

"What salt mine"?Taigong Zhou came here quickly, and of course he knew about Tieding's furious behavior. When he came here, the old man was also stunned when he saw the yellow-white crystals in the pot. One piece was put in my mouth, it was salty and bitter, but I just couldn't bear to spit it out.

"There is salt, and we won't waste so much meat in the future." Taigong Zhou tasted the salt and almost burst into tears.

Then, all the people were boiling, and they all gathered around, twisted a piece of salt that was roughly extracted from the pot, and put it in their mouths. Although the taste was very fast, everyone frowned, but they just couldn't bear to spit it out. How long did it take? Time has not tasted salt?

The yellow-white crystal salt blocks in the pot will soon be divided up one by one. Although it tastes terrible, no one is willing to spit it out. I have no experience of not eating salt for a long time. I don’t understand the kind of fading out like a bird It's a taste.

Tasting the salt, one by one's eyes lit up, seeing the surrounding cliffs, it was like seeing piles of salt mountains.

The yellow-white salt crystals in the pot are only yellow-white because there are many impurities in it because there is no thoroughly purified coarse salt. As long as they are purified again, they will be able to get snow-white refined salt. That is to say, there will be no more There is a lack of salt, and there are salt mines around. With salt, the mutated animal meat obtained from hunting can be pickled and stored without fear of spoilage.

Soon, Tie Ding will bring Zhou Taigong to Ling Tao's position on the cliff. Anyway, Zhou Taigong is so excited that he can't speak. Who would have thought that there will be a salt mine around them, and they are still worried about it. Salt to eat and tangled.

"Mr. Ling, next..."?Tieding looked at Ling Tao and asked.

Ling Tao said with a smile: "This is not easy to handle. Remember that there should be blacksmiths and stonemasons in the village, right? Let the blacksmiths make cauldrons, and the stonemasons make stone mills. The more the better, half of the people will mine salt mines, grind them, and boil them." Cook and save edible refined salt, other people should not be idle. From now on, we have to patrol the surrounding area. This is a treasure. There is a lot of salt obtained from purification. It will be sold in the base city to exchange for various materials we need. ...".

In a few words, Ling Tao planned the next development direction here. Salt is an important material. I have never heard that ancient salt was held in the hands of Chinese countries. Its significance even exceeds other industries...

"Okay, we'll be going halfway," Tieding took Taigong Zhou and left in a hurry after receiving Ling Tao's prompt.

It's not that the two of them couldn't think of this, it's just that Ling Tao is the 'Dinghai Shenzhen' here, so it depends on Ling Tao's responsibility for such an important matter.

"Salt mines, and they are open-air ones, and the salt content is not low. No wonder there is an inexplicable basin here. After a long time, it turned out to be like this. At a certain period in history, this place should have been an important salt-producing area. I just don't know why it was abandoned, so that no one realized it at all," Ling Tao said to himself looking at the basin in front of him.

After that, everyone worked in full swing, digging salt ore, making iron pots and stone mills, cooking salt, and everyone was smiling. After a few hours, the first batch of snow-white refined salt was produced, and a group of women were overjoyed. I took it for cooking, it’s been a long time since I tasted salty, I’m drooling just thinking about it...

At this time, even Ling Tao and Tieding forgot to build a cave on the cliff to live in.

Boom... When everyone was in full swing, a cliff on the edge of the basin collapsed, a large number of rocks collapsed and rolled down, the ground shook, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Ling Tao was speechless, but it was the gorilla who saw people digging the salt mine, and actually participated in it, and accidentally collapsed a cliff...

"These guys, aren't they just looking for trouble? If they mess up like this, the natural barrier here will be destroyed in the future, and the salt mines can't be messed around. We need to plan well," Ling Tao pouted. The way of speaking...

The days passed day by day, these hundreds of people were busy and busy, and a lot of refined salt was extracted, and it was no problem to eat it. With the salt, and there was no shortage of food, they also had strength. The guards The training is getting harder and harder, and the strength of each one is obviously improved.

On this day, Tieding approached Ling Tao and suggested: "Mr. Ling, because of the large amount of salt we have extracted, the people here may not be able to eat it all in ten lifetimes, or I will take someone to deliver a batch to Go to the base city to sell, and then come back with other supplies? For example, weapons and ammunition, these things are the last thing we have here.”

After thinking about it, Ling Tao thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but you don't have to go, stay here, it just so happens that I also have something to go to the base city, and I can send a batch over there...".
