"However, this businessman usually does things in secret, so the NPCs have doubts about his sudden appearance of his family, but they have not thought that he might be a private salt dealer."
Liu Xing touched his chin and said seriously: "The salt and iron franchise has been around since ancient times. After all, iron can be used as agricultural tools and kitchen utensils, or it can be turned into weapons, and salt is something that is said to be rare in the real world.
Eat, but if you really eat less, something will happen. You will be dizzy and weak, which is a bit like the symptoms of a severe cold, because a severe cold is often accompanied by a lot of sweating, and sweat is
It takes away the salt in your body, or to put it more technically, it is the word sodium, and this is why you need to wear salt water when you have a bad cold; so although the ancients may not know what sodium is, they know that if people don’t eat
Salt will cause big problems, so salt has become a strategic material like iron."
"And salt was also a very important seasoning in ancient times. After all, there was no MSG or chicken essence at that time, and chili peppers were still on the other side of the sea, so the salt content was still very high at that time, so in ancient times
At that time, only one of the salt merchants made more money! Therefore, Yanbang cuisine was able to develop. You must know that the eight major cuisines in China today all originated from economically developed areas. Only when you have money will you start to think about it.
What tastes good and how to make it taste good; eh, that’s a bit off topic. In short, this private salt dealer agreed with that sentence - people die for money and birds die for food! But if it weren’t for such a high Lilan, they would also
I won’t risk my life for this kind of business.”
Liu Xing stood up and walked to a screen next to him, looked at it carefully, then touched it, and said with certainty: "The cloth on this screen has been soaked in salt water, because there are still some small things hanging on it.
The salt crystallizes! So the way this businessman transports private salt includes using items such as cloth to absorb salt water. After passing the customs, he soaks the items soaked in salt water again and washes them clean, and then boils the water to dry them.
Salt; as for the various furniture on the second floor, I suspect that they are all hollow, that is, these private salts are transported in the name of transporting furniture, and these modified furniture must not be seen by outsiders, so
Will be moved into this two-story building."
When Yin En heard what Liu Xing said, he immediately stood up and checked the furniture that might be modified. As a result, he found that some cabinets had mezzanines, and some were directly hollowed out!
"If nothing else, the reason why these vases have various defects may be that they are used to make salt shakers. In this way, the businessman can justifiably say that these vases have obvious defects, so he cannot use these incomplete products.
Defective products were sold to customers, but he was reluctant to smash them, so he had to take them home and display them for himself."
Liu Xing picked up a vase, groped inside for a moment, and then took out a crystal block and said: "Sure enough, there are some salt blocks formed after getting wet! This businessman is really scheming.
."
Yin En nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that the reason why the defects on these bottles and jars are so obvious that they can be seen by others from a distance is to prevent outsiders from getting close to watch, or even
Just get started; I have an uncle who likes to collect all kinds of porcelain, so if he sees a nice vase, he will definitely be eager to play with it, but if you can see defects like this at a glance, then he
One hundred percent I won’t take a second look!”
At this moment, an electronic synthesized voice suddenly sounded in Liu Xing's ears, "Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden mission - Private Salt (Boyang City)! Because it is detected that the player has activated the alliance achievement, the player can
Convert this mission into an alliance mission within a month."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and immediately checked the hidden mission that had just been triggered.
The mission goal is very simple, that is to find a private salt warehouse hidden near Boyang City. This private salt warehouse may be in Boyang City, or it may be hidden anywhere within ten kilometers of Boyang City!
Therefore, Liu Xing knew that this was definitely not a random search. Firstly, it would be easy to alert someone, and secondly, the scope was quite large, so it would be unreliable to conduct a blanket search.
Therefore, three character profiles appear in the task prompt.
Liu Dazui, codenamed Merchant, is responsible for contacting buyers and conducting transactions in Boyang City. For some reasons, he has returned to his hometown to hide.
He Zizi, codenamed Boatman, was responsible for transporting private salt to Boyang City. After Liu Er left, he was temporarily responsible for taking over the remaining personnel in Boyang City.
Wang Quexin, codename unknown, specific project responsible for unknown.
If Liu Xing and others can catch one of these three people, they can also get different additional rewards. If they can catch all three of them, they will get hidden rewards and trigger another hidden mission.
As for Liu Xing, if he chooses to convert this hidden mission into an alliance mission, he will also receive a large amount of alliance reputation on top of the original rewards, as well as the personal favorability of the lord/prefect of Boyang City.
"It seems that our guess is correct. Now the sudden death of the old city lord may really change the situation of Boyang City. Therefore, this hidden mission has not yet determined whether Boyang City will continue to be managed by the city lord or let a prefect
Take responsibility."
Yin En frowned and said: "But transporting private salt to Boyang City was not the idea of that businessman, that is, Liu Dazui alone! There is an organization that transports private salt to various places on a large scale, otherwise this would
There will be no special parentheses for each task; interestingly, the three people in charge of Boyang City all have certain parts of a person in their names - mouth, legs and heart, and this is quite consistent with their jobs.
Status, because Liu Dazui uses his mouth to do business, and He Zizi uses his legs to transport goods, so in the end Wang Quexin should be the direct superior of Liu Dazui and He Zizi, but why does he feel like he is lacking a heart?
If he is really heartless, he can’t be the person in charge, right?”
Liu Xing shrugged and began to use his professional expertise, "Some people are indeed born with short-sightedness. For example, the interval between the ventricle and the atrium may be missing a piece, or it may not be completely closed. This is the so-called myocardial defect.
However, under normal circumstances this does not affect the patient's normal life, and it may automatically complete the closure as the human body develops; of course, there is now an artificial heart that can replace the function of a normal heart, but it may still
Various problems arise, such as rejection reactions, aging and damage, etc.”
"Although we are in a martial arts module, don't forget that this martial arts module comes from the Cthulhu Run Game Hall! So I suspect that Wang Quexin may have replaced a certain heart in some way.
, because we also know that some scholars who are doing biological research can now directly bring their technology back to the real world to make movies. For example, the Warcraft we saw may have been created by them; so we have reasons.
I suspect that this organization may have been established by a group of scholars who were expelled back then to earn research funds!"
Liu Xing sat down again and continued: "If I remember correctly, those who specialize in biological research have basically been driven overseas. After all, the research they do is really impactful to ordinary people.
If they are too big, it is normal for them to be regarded as evil heretics, so the New Dragon Empire will definitely not be able to accommodate them; and according to the settings given in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, the New Dragon Empire has discovered many large ships in the nearby sea area.
Islands, and tribes and city-states have appeared on the islands, but a kingdom has not yet appeared, so the New Dragon Empire has no interest in these islands and allows these tribes and city-states to fend for themselves."
"So I suspected at that time that those fleeing scholars might control a tribal city-state on a certain island, and then hide in it to continue doing research, and strictly control the development of this tribe or city-state to ensure that these
Tribes and city-states can provide themselves with the resources needed for various research, but they are not powerful enough to attract the attention of the New Dragon Empire; from an evolutionary perspective, the ecological environment on the island is actually very simple, because in many places
They are unable to communicate with the outside world for a long time, so various marsupials in the real world can continue to reproduce on various islands, rather than withdrawing from the stage of history early like their relatives on land."
"Well, I also agree with what you said, Liu Xing."
Yin En nodded and said: "The old rulers in this world, that is, special beings like Wenquxing and the Rat King in Gray, should be more or less related to the hundreds of schools of thought that were driven away, so we
These members of various schools of thought can be defined as a special kind of fanatic believers! Therefore, Wang Quexin may be a reformer, and only he can contact the fanatic believers hidden in the dark; as for Liu Dazui and He
The Cripples are just two mere tools. If you find them, you can only determine the location of the private salt warehouse. Only by finding Wang Quexin can you follow the clues."
Because the alliance has not been formally established, Liu Xing cannot yet convert this hidden mission into an alliance mission, but this does not affect Liu Xing from telling Meng Fugui and Zheng Fei about it.
"Is there such a thing? I thought that businessman was just an ordinary private salt dealer, but I didn't expect that he could be related to those people. But it's no wonder that he still dares to stay in the city.
After living for so long, it turns out that I have nothing to fear."
Meng Fugui recalled for a moment, nodded and continued: "The businessman who signed the contract with me today is indeed a bit big-mouthed, and his surname is indeed Liu. At the same time, he also planted a lot of willow trees in this yard. Before leaving, he also planted a lot of willow trees.
Please, I have to help him take care of these willow trees; as for where his hometown is, I don’t know very well, because I didn’t expect such a thing at the time, but I can go find someone to ask tomorrow.
Knowing that in addition to buying this yard, we also bought his shop, so his old neighbors should know something, and then Goudan and the others will find a way to collect as much information as possible."
As soon as Meng Fugui finished speaking, Zheng Fei continued: "Boyang City is a long way from the nearest river, so nearby ports will have special fleets to assist in transporting goods. Therefore, this He Laizi may be a real boatman, or
It may be that he is being sold as dog meat, but he is actually a coachman! In short, I will also arrange for my brothers to go to nearby ports to check the situation and try to determine the general situation of He Laizi before we come back."
Rolled up.
Liu Xing knew that Meng Fugui and Zheng Fei were secretly competing, because they also knew that the leader of the alliance must be themselves, so they had to fight for the position of deputy leader, and this also required some real skills.
and achievements.
However, Liu Xing was also happy to see the success, so he nodded and said: "Then please two of you spend more time on this matter, because the focus of this hidden mission is to find Wang Quexin! Only by finding him can we
Trigger the next phase of the mission, then our alliance can get more benefits!"
Meng Fugui and Zheng Fei both nodded, then stood up and left in unison, going back to find their teammates to arrange tasks.
"Now that the matter is over, we can go back to sleep, because we have to return to Shan County early tomorrow morning."
Yin En stretched and asked curiously: "So do we really have to go back to the two-story building to sleep? Although there doesn't seem to be anything strange there, because we didn't talk much in it, but I
I always feel very uncomfortable there.”
Just as Liu Xing was about to nod, he suddenly frowned, "Wait a minute, if Liu Dazui just wants to hide all the furniture and porcelain that cannot be seen from outsiders, then there is no need to build such a two-story building, right? He
Just take it home and dispose of it and bury it; and why does he arrange all the furniture and decorations in the two-story building in such weird ways? He tells outsiders that this is his daughter's boudoir, so he is not afraid.
Do outsiders think something is wrong when they see the situation inside? Anyway, if I were an ordinary person, I would definitely feel something was wrong after seeing the situation in this room! What's more, the furniture itself has problems, and others can just look through it casually after buying it.
Once you flip through it, you can notice the strangeness of these furniture!"
"You mean, everything in that two-story building was intentional?" Yin En also frowned.
"Yes, it stands to reason that it is not difficult to clean those screens that have been soaked in salt water. It is also very easy to clean those bottles and jars that have been filled with salt, but Liu Dazui
