Section 4 Salt is more expensive than life

The bonfire was lit, and the cheeks of everyone sitting around turned red. These men around Yun Ye were soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They were subordinate to Zuowuwei, but they were not combat soldiers, but auxiliary soldiers. They were responsible for transporting grain, grass, ordnance and other kinds of weapons.

Supplies, the leader of the man is named Zhang Cheng, a team leader, with fifty soldiers and several civilians under his jurisdiction. Zhang Cheng was originally an out-and-out farmer. He farmed when he was busy and practiced martial arts in his free time. The children of Guanzhong became fond of martial arts.

, so in the battle to annihilate Changle Wang Youliang, he beheaded two ranks and was promoted to team leader for meritorious service. Due to Youliang's rebellion, the public security in Longyou suddenly became bad. The Qiang people lost control and would attack the grain transport team from time to time. This is why Zhang Cheng

The reason for being wary of Yun Ye. These people are all good people. Yun Ye knew this very well. Seeing that Yun Ye was a little cold, Zhang Cheng took out his own clothes and put them on for him. Fourteen-year-old Yun Ye wore Zhang Cheng

The clothes looked extremely funny. The two women accompanying the team took the clothes, took off the needles and threads and made them smaller for Yun Ye. They were going to Heifengkou to see their husbands. Zhang Cheng quietly told Yun Ye and winked.

He came back when he was older. After saying that, he slapped Yun Ye and said that little kids shouldn't ask about adults. Yun Ye's face was full of grievances and asked, "Is it me who asked? It was you who told me the hard way, okay?"

The man sneered and handed Yun Ye a piece of white linen. Yun Ye looked left and right and couldn't figure out what it was for, "Pocket cloth, what are you looking at?" Zhang Cheng said, tearing off my tattered clothes.

, amidst Yun Ye's miserable howling and the laughter of others, he wrapped the white cloth around Yun Ye's waist in a few seconds. Only then did Yun Ye understand that the two naked fat men were wrapped around this thing on the stage.

I have been playing wrestling for a long time, but I still learned this from our ancestors.

Wangcai was also chirping, obviously laughing. Yun Ye slapped him angrily. He took out the smoked mutton that he couldn't bear to eat from his backpack, skewered it with branches and set it on the fire. After a while, the oil oozed out and squeaked.

There was a sound of drooling all around. Feeling greatly satisfied, Zhang Cheng asked Zhang Cheng to find a wooden board and cut it into thin slices with a knife. He took the dough cake in their hands, cut it in half, and put the meat slices into the cake. A beautiful portion.

The Roujiamo was ready. He handed it to Zhang Cheng with both hands. Zhang Cheng held the cake in both hands and smelled it deeply, with a look of intoxication on his face. Then he said with a straight face: "Eat in two waves, finish one wave and finish the other."

Yi Bo was eating. "Then he handed the meat pie to the two women. The two women took the meat pie with peace of mind, lowered their heads and started chewing. Yun Ye secretly smiled, understanding that Zhang Cheng was afraid that the meat would be poisonous, so he clamped the second piece of meat pie.

After finishing the meat pie, he didn't hand it to Zhang Cheng: "Uncle Zhang, I'm so hungry, I'll eat it first." He said and took a big bite. The sheep was already fat, and after taking a bite, the fat dripped from the corner of his mouth.

, What a pleasure. I don’t know whether Zhang Cheng blushed or not. It was dark and he couldn’t see clearly. But he stretched out his hand and slapped Yun Ye on the head. "You kid, you have a lot of thoughts." After saying that, he took a knife to cut the mutton.

, As expected of someone who eats with the handle of a knife. In an instant, a lamb hind leg turned into a pile of meat slices under his knife. Zhang Cheng took a big bite of the meat pie, and Yun Ye even heard him moan in comfort. Yun Ye took a big bite of the meat pie.

Ye couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. This was a meat bun. If he got a few hard vegetables, he would still be in a state of excitement. Huh? He screamed strangely after swallowing the first bite. He took out a piece of meat from the cake.

Sticking out his tongue and licking it, Yun Ye felt a little disgusted. "Salt, brat, do you live like this? Put this much salt." He said he was about to smoke Yun Ye, but Yun Ye ran away holding his head, his big hands

It's like being hit with a wrench. If you can get it less, take it less." Isn't it just salt? There is more." After saying that, Yun Ye took out a small cloth bag from his backpack.

Zhang Cheng's eyes widened as he grabbed the four or five kilograms of salt collected from a rock wall. He carefully opened the salt bag next to the fire and stared blankly at the gray-white powder inside. Yun Ye walked over and pushed it.

He said, "What's so good about salt? You brat, how dare you waste such good refined salt like this?" Zhang Cheng was completely furious. Seeing that Yun Ye was hiding behind the two women and making it difficult to capture, he took a slow tone and said: "

Brat, where did you get so much salt?" Yun Ye was a little confused, and the two women also held Yun Ye's hands and looked at him nervously.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"There is a salt mine by the river, just dig it."

"Bullshit, I know there is a salt mine by the river. It is poisonous salt and cannot be eaten. If you eat that salt, you will have diarrhea and die. Not to mention that your whole body will turn purple if you eat it. I am talking about the salt in your bag.

Salt is better than official salt, where does it come from?" Zhang Cheng's eyes were already red, and he asked Yun Ye loudly. Yun Ye admired the ancients' spirit of experimentation. It's okay to eat salt, but you can't even use the nitrate in the salt mine.

, consuming phosphorus and potassium together with impurities is simply seeking death. If you take nitrate, you may be able to survive for a while. It would be strange if your whole body does not turn purple if you take too much phosphorus and potassium. In later generations, Yun Ye has seen calcium supplements and iron supplements.

I have never seen nitrate, phosphorus and potassium supplements.

"Uncle Zhang, how can you just eat the salt mine? It needs to be crushed, dissolved, filtered, and analyzed. The final crystallization is the salt that people eat. Just like some herbs are obviously poisonous, but after some special processing,

It becomes non-poisonous and can cure diseases. The same is true for this salt. Everything in this world is prepared for people. As long as we find the right and suitable method, everything in this world can be used by people. It's just a small way to make salt." Look.

Looking at Zhang Cheng's eyes full of circles, Yun Ye knew that what he just said was in vain.

"So you know how to remove edible salt from poisonous salt?" Aren't you stupid? You know how to summarize, and you can ask the key points without being fooled.

"I'm telling you, it's just a trail." There was no need to torment the honest man, Yun Ye directly gave the exact answer. He tried his best to pretend to be an expert.

Regardless of past and present life, people who are beneficial to others, or people who can bring benefits to others, are the easiest to integrate into the crowd and be accepted by them. Yun Ye's top priority is to join the big family of the Tang Dynasty, obtain household registration, and become a great feudalist

A brick of the dynasty, after all, I will be a brick a thousand years later, but it is not the same as being a brick there.

Zhang Cheng's face was filled with joy. He wanted to open his mouth, but he stopped. His face turned red and he rubbed his hands anxiously. He was pacing back and forth in front of Yun Ye, like an old donkey. His low status restricted his passion for knowing the secret recipe.

I can't give Yun Ye any promises. There are too many benefits in turning waste into treasure, and it is definitely not something that my small team can participate in. Yun Ye is a hermit and a master, and he has only revealed a corner, which is already shocking to everyone.

, if it were all exposed, it would be much more knowledgeable.

"I'm just a martial artist and don't deserve to know the secret recipe. I beg you, Sir, to have mercy on us and our plight. Please bear with me and report this matter to Mr. Xiaowei. Your Majesty will be commended by the court and your good deeds will be spread throughout the world."

"Uncle Zhang, what does the salt you eat look like?"

Zhang Cheng carefully took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it layer by layer. A yellow-brown crystal the size of a walnut appeared in front of him. Yun Ye picked it up and tasted it. In addition to salty, there were all kinds of strange smells that made him

I was so excited that I picked up the water hyacinth and rinsed my mouth vigorously several times before the strange smell faded away.

"Is this salt? Is this poison?" After saying that, he threw it out. As soon as he threw it, Zhang Cheng, who eagerly looked at the salt block in Yun Ye's hand, took it back as fast as lightning, wrapped it in a cloth and stuffed it back into his arms.

Li. His eyes were a little sad, and he smiled miserably and pointed at the people around him who were listening to their conversation.

"Young Master, do you think that everyone is like you? From a young age, you have lived in fine clothes and lived in a fine land. You have never touched the spring water with your hands. Except for learning, you have not cared about anything else. Even if you are in trouble now, you still have the methods left by your ancestors to survive, and you will still survive.

Moisture. Look at the talent of the young master. He is smart and understands the world. When you grow up in two years, the good clothes and food will be like a long-lasting thing to you. You can't take it away. This is life! We are not the same.

My mother-in-law only taught us how to dig food from the soil, and nothing else. The salt blocks you threw away were specially rewarded by the captain after I killed two rebels. Ask them if they have ever seen large pieces of salt.

"How many of them?" The men on the other side shook their heads in unison, and the two women also lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"Isn't it already the Zhenguan period? How can you still live such a miserable life?"

"Young master, you don't know. The world has just been at peace. There has been no military disaster. On weekdays, you can get half full with wild vegetables and grains. In the past few years, although salt was expensive, you could occasionally get it by a few taels. But these few years

The Turks invade the territory every year, burning, killing and looting without hesitation. The trade routes are blocked, the salt from Shandong cannot be transported in, and the salt ponds on the grassland cannot be mined. My Zuowuwei has been stationed in Longyou for three years, fighting every year, and the army

The food lacked salt and was seasoned with vinegar cloth. The sergeant's body was losing weight year by year. The general knew that the Turks were returning to the grassland from Yanchuan. The soldiers were so weak that they could only defend the city and were unable to pursue them. I heard that the general broke his sword and swore in anger.

, we must kill all the Turks. The young master has a unique skill, and once it is used, the army will no longer be short of salt. When we gather our strength, we can kill all the Turk dogs."

Ignore Zhang Cheng's demagogic language for now. The rough man's tricks are straightforward and cute. The method must be explained, but who can hand it over and how to hand it over is a university question. Zhang Cheng's boss's boss is called Cheng Chumo, and he is the famous demon king Cheng.

Yao Jin's eldest son is currently the captain of Lanzhou Zhechong. He is a standard second-generation official. He is generous and loyal. He has been on the battlefield with his father for many years at the age of 18. He is the best among dandies. Through him, he introduced the method of making salt.

It can be regarded as a shortcut to the south. More importantly, it is said that Lao Cheng lived over a hundred years old and was an evergreen tree in the Tang Dynasty. No matter what, let’s hug his thick legs first.

Then he stood up and saluted Zhang Cheng and everyone upright: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Yun Ye listened to Uncle Zhang's teachings today and will definitely remember them in his heart and dare not forget them." It's not that he wants to drop his book bag, but

It was true respect. Ignoring the part about General Cheng swearing, the other words shocked him. Oh my god, the prosperous age of Zhenguan turned out to be like this. Military disasters and hunger were everywhere. Zhang Cheng and the others had such low requirements. As long as they

If you don't fight, if you can feed your belly, it's worth risking your life to fill it. Low-quality people like me, who pick up the bowl to eat meat and put down the bowl to curse, have what qualifications can I show off in front of them? Young master? What a joke!

"With a bang, all those men stepped aside, like a windmill cranked by Zhang Cheng's hand: "What can we poor people have to teach you? We are just talking casually. You are a man of great ability, and you will be determined in the future.

Those who can get along with the master will be a great blessing."

It seems that scholars have too much pressure on them. According to historical records, in the early Tang Dynasty, the number of scholars in the world only accounted for one or two thousandths of the population. Knowledge has never been something that ordinary people can only hope for, and wealthy families control the door to knowledge.

In this generally uncivilized age, the holders of knowledge have a superior social status, and it is these ordinary people who are eager to gain knowledge who spontaneously raise their status. This can be seen from Zhang Cheng's title to Yun Ye, boy

, stinky boy, Yun Langjun, young master, step by step, as he understood Yun Ye, he raised the title again and again. From general to prime minister? They really dare to think, Yun Ye secretly laughed, there are people who can't even recognize the words.

Are you a general? The Zhenguan period was a time when great people filled the world. As a novice in officialdom, when I met Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji, I was just seeking death. It was inevitable that I would be bought and help count the money.

.Businessman? A low-class person who can't even wear silk. In the feudal dynasty, having more money is not a blessing, but a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
