Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Why do tribal people take salt so seriously?

In fact, when there is no salt, you can actually go on, but after having salt, that kind of strong sex is completely stimulated. ☆→,

Whether it is the people on this side or the tribes on the other side of the sea, they all believe that salt can strengthen their physique and improve their minds.

Tribal people fight for territory, prey, etc., and salt is also one of the factors that provoke the war.

Wacha said that the salt mine occupied by the tribe was discovered hundreds of years ago. The person who first discovered the salt mine failed to defend the salt mine, and even the tribe suffered. I heard that the entire tribe eventually migrated to the city. I went, there was no way, I couldn't fight other tribes, and in order to prevent a bigger blow, I ran away.

After that, the battle for the salt mines became fierce, and the Yanjiao tribe did not give up the fat, and finally squeezed out the others and grabbed a position, but to monopolize it, it was not enough with their ability at the time. There are few people, less than a thousand people, they can grab a place, in addition to their own strength, the Taihe tribe plays a great role in it. people cooperate.

For hundreds of years, the competition for salt mines has not stopped, but the five tribes have never changed, it seems that the front line is unified, and others are not allowed to interfere. So unanimously unanimous to the outside world, it seems that they have an agreement, and the five tribes are cooperating, but in fact, there are secrets inside.

The five tribes occupying the salt mine can have fewer people, but they must not have more people!

"That salt mine is a treasure!" Vacha sighed. This is also one of the reasons why he has been emphasizing on taking back the salt mines.

"Elder, do you know how to rebuke Luren?" Vacha asked.

reprimand? Shao Xuan thought for a while and nodded, "I have heard it. I just heard it from others when I entered the city to trade, but I don't know much about it."

The Kulu tribe is a tribe that believes in salt. Their tribe has many legends about salt. It is said that the earliest salt was discovered by them. It is said that an ancestor of the Lulu tribe saw a strange animal. The animal took him to a lake, and he saw a miracle. The miracle mentioned is a salt lake.

And the totem of the Kulu tribe is the strange-looking animal, called the "salt beast". No one has ever seen such an animal. Believe in the existence of salt beasts.

How is it true. No one can say for sure, but later, the six major tribes rose to build cities and became noble slave owners, which also led to changes in other tribes.

The salt lake that reprimanded the Lu tribe was seized, and the salt lake occupied by the six major tribes, they were unable to snatch it back, and they were negative. The whole tribe is scattered. The scattered Xunlu people entered the six cities and sometimes helped the nobles to make salt. They make a living by doing this, but a few years ago I heard that the nobles discovered a new salt spring and called some people from the Lu tribe to build a city there and named it Lu Yancheng. The people who went to Yancheng Yancheng were pretty good. many.

Of course, Vatza brought up the reprimand. It's not to let Shao Xuan understand the history of suffocating Luren.

"The salt-making skill of Luren is just like the forging skill of the Gongjia family. This is well-known among the tribes. Even slave owners, if they ask someone to make salt. Luren. The salt made by Luren is very expensive, and most of them are enjoyed by nobles. If other people want to buy it, they need to spend several times more money." Vacha said.

Shao Xuan can understand this, just like the Jingu produced by the Jingu Grange in Jiju, it is famous all over the place, from the cities to the mountain tribes, he has heard of it.

"However, apart from the five tribes that occupy the salt mines, no one knows that the salt from our salt mines does not require sophisticated extraction processes at all, and the resulting salt is much better than theirs!! "Speaking of this, Vacha has a sense of pride on his face. Of course, his tribe can seize such a good resource, which is certainly something to be proud of.

It is no wonder that the matter of salt mines is rarely mentioned. This is to deliberately downplay the existence of salt mines, so that fewer people are aware of this matter. Even among the tribesmen, more than half of them didn't know what the salt mine really looked like. The people of the tribe were only told that the salt they use should not be traded externally. If they want to trade, they should go to the person who is specially responsible for this kind of trade, and they will naturally arrange it. The people of the tribe have always followed this instruction and have never made an exception.

Not only the Yanjiao tribe, but the other four tribes, Liehu, Sen, Shanfeng, and Taihe, all of them did the same thing, and they were completely concealed.

High-quality salt can indeed sell for a higher price, and can even step on the famous Luren, and can exchange more things from Liubu Zhucheng, but the danger is equally great.

If they were sold, such a thing would definitely attract the coveted by the six cities. With their behavior, they would definitely intervene in the matter of the salt mine. Therefore, the five tribes will not leak the news at all! !

Because of this, after the five tribes discovered the quality of the salt mines, they all followed the same rule, and would never let new tribes interfere, nor would they release the news.

As for the salt traded to other tribes... even in such an excellent salt mine, there is a difference between salt and salt.

"We collect salt in the salt cave. Those on the top of the salt cave will be put aside after they are collected. Those are all good salts, which are reserved for the people of the tribe. They will be secretly transported back to the tribe and will not be used by other people. People find the difference here."

"The salt at the top of the cave is what we usually eat?" Shao Xuan asked.

"Yes, those are the ones. When you look at them, are those salt blocks a little red in color?" Watcha asked Shao Xuan.

"Indeed." At that time, Shao Xuan found that the salt blocks he had distributed were different in color from those he had seen before, but the taste was very good, and everyone was given this kind of salt. At that time, Shao Xuan didn't think much about it. There is a mystery hidden here.

"The salt from our salt mine is stronger than the lake salt that repelled the Luren and the salt produced in the new salt spring of the slave owners, and it has a strong and powerful feeling. Don't add any, just add these salts. It tastes great and feels good. After eating, let the soldiers eat barbecue without salt. It may not have such a big appetite. We used to go from Amba City to I've tried it in exchange for some salt, but the taste is not as good as the salt from our salt mine! Sometimes the trading team that goes out will exchange some salt, but the quality is lower and it's just a cover." Vatcha felt that the tribe This approach is clever, unobtrusive, and covers it.

For tribal people. It's not meat, it's power! And salt plays an important role in it.

"The salt at the top of the salt cave is picked for one's own use, and the salt from other places is picked and traded?" Shao Xuan asked.

"Yes, the salt we trade is from other places in the cave. Although the salt quality is okay, it is not as good as the salt on the top. In some places, the salt extracted is inferior, everyone. None of them are used. The salt produced will also be sold to others.”

Tribes don't save money, keep inferior things for themselves, and use better things to sell. This kind of behavior is extremely stupid to them, so what they leave to their own people is the most. Well, the ones that sell are of lower quality.

This is true of the Flaming Horns, as are the other four tribes. Especially in the salt caves they dug, close to the salt mined on the ground of the salt caves. Not a single piece will be kept by itself. The secret five tribes hold the same mind.

So, in addition to the five tribes guarding here. People from other tribes have no idea how good the salt is in this salt mine. Even if they take the salt bought from the five tribes and go to the city to trade with others, others will not have too many ideas. Ideas won't be strong either, after all. Now more and more salt springs and salt ponds have been discovered. Although most of them are occupied by the six nobles, there are still some in the hands of the tribesmen. Come.

There was an accident at the salt mine, and Liehu and the Sen tribe used salt to win over some people to help them. The salt used is also inferior salt, and the core secret will not be leaked at all.

"Oh, elder, you must have never seen the original appearance of the salt mines we just mined." Vacha said, stretched his hand to his waist, and took out an animal skin bag that he carried with him, which contained a wide mouth. Small jar, the jar is made of the bones of a fierce beast, the size of a fist, and it is blocked with a wooden plug.

Vacha pulled out the cork, and clasped the pot with the mouth down on his open palm.

When the jar was opened, Shao Xuan saw the salt block in Wacha's hand at first glance and thought it was a piece of fresh meat! The distribution of red and white, I don’t know if it is because of some melting, but it even looks tender, like a piece of meat that has just been chopped and washed with water!

"This is... salt?!" Shao Xuan took a closer look in surprise. If you look closely, it does have the solid texture of the crystal block. When it was first mined, the crystal stone must have a clearer feeling, but it was brought by Vacha. slight changes.

Watcha looked at the salt stone in his hand, his eyes seemed to be scorching hot, "This is what we mined at the top of the salt cave. When it is boiled again, the color of the resulting salt will be lighter, just like the one you all distributed. Kind of. But our mine guards use it directly without boiling. Two days before the accident at the salt mine, I put a small piece of salt rock that I just came out with in a jar. I wanted to share it with my brothers. Put it in when the broth is cooking." When Vacha said this, his scorching eyes staring at the salt block cooled, as if thinking of what happened that day.

Most of the warriors who go out will grind the salt with them, but some are more accustomed to carrying the whole block. Just like the Wacha and the others who are stationed in the mine, they only carry the salt in pieces. In addition to brewing tea with some herbs, the soldiers sometimes consumed a lot of physical strength, and they also put a little salt in the kettle and drank it with them. It's not that they know any theoretical knowledge, but it's based on intuition and the desire of the body, what the body needs, and they do it according to this intuition.

In addition to the usual salt, the hunted prey will also be smeared with salt, because with this salt, the meat is not easy to rot, and it can be stored for a longer time if it is air-dried.

I heard that some tribes who are good at weaving and dyeing cloth also buy salt of slightly lower quality. The method of dyeing their cloth involves salt, so the dyed cloth can be taken directly to Wangcheng and sold to those slave owners at a high price. .

For tribal people, salt is distributed in various affairs in life, and the battle for salt land has always existed. Even if there is no fire crystal, salt mine, and the flame horn tribe will be able to snatch it back.

"Elder, when you go to the salt mine, we will snatch the salt mine back, and you will be able to see more salt. When we slept in the salt cave, we dreamed of these pieces of salt rocks." Wacha carefully put the salt block in his hand back into the jar, and licked his palm, thinking of something, and suddenly said, "I dreamed of fire crystals in my dream yesterday, but when I woke up, I forgot all about it. I thought, if we If you keep digging down the salt cave, you might see fire crystals."

Usually, they dig holes along the horizontal line to mine, and then continue to dig down after mining. However, the mining method on Liehu's side is different. Maybe they dig down before they finish mining on the first floor.

Shao Xuan felt that this idea was also possible. The fire crystals he found in the Tiankeng of Bat Mountain, except for those in the Tiankeng, many others were deep in the mountain.

Perhaps, the salt in the salt mines is different and has something to do with fire crystals. So many salt mines, how many fire crystals are there in the mountains or under the mountains?

"The action decided by the leader is three days later?" Vacha asked.

Because of the injury, Zheng Luo didn't want to let Vacha follow him this time. He didn't call him during the meeting, but the weapon assigned to Vacha was kept. Zheng Luo wanted to wait for him to recover before giving it.

"Well, three days later, we and the people from Taihe will go there separately. We will go there in three ways." Shao Xuandao.

Vacha scratched his head. He didn't want to miss this action. "I went up the mountain to find the leader. Now I'm almost recovered. I'll definitely be able to go out with the team in three days!"

Seeing Vacha going up the mountain, Shao Xuan did not follow him, but walked towards the duck shed.

The fat green duck just stuck its head out of the duck shed, and probably wanted to go out for a walk, when he saw Shao Xuan approaching, and quickly retracted his head.

Pushing the door open, Shao Xuan saw the fat duck squatting in the duck's nest with its wings wide open to cover the eggs. Those eggs must be of good hardness, otherwise they would have been cracked by the fat duck.

Shao Xuan walked over, regardless of the duck's fur, "Raise your wings, let's see how many eggs you've snatched up."

The fat duck didn't move, hesitating a little.

"If you don't rob you, I'll see how many there are." Shao Xuan said again.

The fat duck slowly retracted its wings.

"Get up and stand on the side, you are squatting in such a large area, I can't see clearly." Shao Xuan waved his hand beside him.

The fat duck reluctantly moved away.

Shao Xuan counted and found that thirty-one eggs were of different colors and sizes. They were not robbed from the same litter, but they were all equally resistant to hatching. If they were the same as the ducklings before, they would have hatched earlier.

"Keep working hard and hatch early."

When he came out of the duck shed, Shao Xuan found that the sky began to snow.

This year's snow came earlier, I hope there will be no Blizzard when the battle for salt mines comes. (To be continued...)
