Chapter 51: Unexpected Love of Salt

The shore of Luoyun Lake,

Enjoy the beautiful scenery and eat the grilled fish in your hands, which makes it a special taste.

The two of them feasted in large pieces. When they faced the food, regardless of gender, they were full. Zhang Jinyu took out salt and spices from the cloth bag on his horse and sprinkled it on the grilled fish, which made it even more fragrant.

But Wu Yayu next to him frowned when he saw the salt on Zhang Jinyu's hand.

This little move escaped Zhang Jinyu's eyes and asked;

"What's wrong? I frowned?"

Wu Yayu didn't say anything, so she reached out to take the salt bag and grabbed a handful of yellow particles from it. This is the salt that every household in the Hou Mansion or Luoyun Plain must eat. Although the taste is very poor and the taste is astringent.

But it is essential. Even if the Hou Mansion can only say that it is relatively better, the taste almost made Zhang Jinyu vomit when he first ate local salt.

Wu Yayu stood up and walked to her mount and took out a cloth bag from it.

Zhang Jinyu knew that people in the grassland were accustomed to preparing seasonings on their bodies or horses, which was salt. Because they had been nomadic abroad for a long time, fishing and hunting were all on the spot, and there were no people in the city to farm and settle down.

Wu Yayu handed over the cloth bag and signaled herself to see it. Zhang Jinyu took it and was still a little suspicious.

Is there any better spices? I opened the cloth bag, reached in and touched it. When I touched the salt, I felt that it was more delicate than what I brought.

I took it out and saw that it turned out to be snow-white salt. I stuck it a little and put it on the tip of my tongue and licked it. It was very salty and had no bitter taste.

Only then did Zhang Jinyu understand what Wu Yayu meant. This was a huge wealth and treasure. Its taste was as good as that of Blue Star.

“Where did you get it?”

Wu Yayu smiled,

"What, I want it, I didn't expect there is something you can't do."

Seeing the little girl so provocative, Zhang Jinyu was a little funny. You have never seen sea salt before, and that one was full of money.

Well, it's over, I know it's called salt drying. I don't know how to dry it, and I have no idea at all.

When I thought about how Zhang Jinyu was a little confused, I was taking an elective course at that time, and I was playing games or sleeping. Damn it.

"Well, after all, people have limited energy, how can they be proficient in everything?"

"That's right, I can give it to you. This income is 30% of me. I want to develop a tribe. There are so many Jurchens in the eastern region, and I have more friends with me. There are many people who have joined me these days. I want to collect more people.

.”

Zhang Jinyu didn't speak for a moment, and thought about it in his mind, calculating how many Jurchens could have now.

Looking at Huang Jitai's appearance, the Jurchens in this parallel space are even larger, with a large population, and their customs and cultures are similar. Maybe they can be eaten or assimilated, and there is more room for maneuver when they fall.

"And then,"

"I have been wondering why the Uya tribe cannot develop into a large tribe. Every time the population is one to one hundred thousand and the tribe's cavalry exceeds ten thousand, the tragic death of my father and brother is a depressed heart."

Wu Yayu kept pursing the grass in front of her, as if she was irreconcilable enemy. Zhang Jinyu reached out and touched Wu Yayu's head and comforted her;

"I don't blame you, nor do I blame your father and brother. This is the case in this world. How many people are there in your tribe now?"

Zhang Jinyu himself was worried. When he went there, he saw a large tent, so he walked in a hurry and didn't take a closer look.

Later, only Duan Shouyuan led 10,000 soldiers to watch the horses and monitor the Wuya tribe. He reported that there was nothing abnormal, and it seemed that it was not.

"I, I sent someone to bring all the tribes around me before, and there are also small tribes in the southwest. The population has just exceeded 100,000, and I can recruit 20,000 young and strong cavalry."

"You have brought all the people from the border between me and the Jurchens?"

"yes."

Awesome! Zhang Jinyu gave Wu Yayu a thumbs up in his heart.

It's amazing, what's the point? The charm value is full, especially the effect on this clan is doubled, but you can't ignore it.

It’s not Duan Shouyuan’s fault for being a large tribe with 100,000 people in the Jurchens. The young and powerful tribes served as soldiers in wartime and for the people in normal times.

"You can give it to you, but your tribe cavalry must be the main one. You will be given ten thousand places, led by Duan Shouyuan. You will be protected by one thousand people. If there are too many others, you can go to Pingliao City to live. If you don't want to go, you can

Stay behind, that little Yunhu is not small, you can just stay there."

Hearing this Wu Yayu smiled happily, he finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

"My salt was discovered in a dry riverbed north of Pingliao City. Behind a bare mountain, I sent someone to pick salt there. At the beginning, there were too many impurities, so I tried to dissolve it with water and filter it with your Dawu Jinbu

Finally, I was boiling again and I got such clean salt. Thank you for the blessing of the God of Longevity.”

When Zhang Jinyu heard this, he was shocked. Isn’t this the method of boiling well salt? It seems that sea salt is similar. When Zhang Jinyu thought of this, he couldn’t sit still.

"Yayu, in fact, you just need to get the salt done and you will be sent. There is no need to fight the tribe to grazle. Do you know how expensive salt is?"

"You mean, large-scale salt production."

"Yes, except for that place, you can try it at the beach, dry salt, use seawater to dry salt, and then cook it like this to see if it can be done. The main thing is to dig a salt field on a flat beach, and you can dry it on a large scale

, if not, try another method.”

"good."

Wu Yayu was half-believing and half-doubted. She could still be exposed. She went back and asked her clan members to try it.

"By the way, Yayu, look at how my old Ying brothers are like cavalry?"

Zhang Jinyu's words interrupted Wu Yayu's great cause of thinking about how the tribe made salt. She rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, then looked up to look away.

There is a large number of cavalrymen, which can be maintained in a good way according to the formation. The uniform uniforms and standard armor do seem to be much stronger than the stragglers on the grassland.

But after looking slowly, I saw that everyone was stiff and rigid in movements, and some people grabbed the reins and didn't dare to move. They just followed the people in front of them in a straight look. If it weren't for the saddle and stirrup, they might have fallen directly.

Go down.

Looking further forward, soldiers with long sword weapons are careful when taking out their weapons, for fear that the person in front of them will be cut, and the long sword is not suitable for cavalry, and it is easy to take them down when chopping.

Wu Yayu looked at it and shook her head. The cavalry in front of her could not move when she turned.

After a closer look, everyone was actually wearing heavy armor from infantry. Isn’t this a nonsense?

The heavy armor of the cavalry is completely different from the heavy armor of the infantry. The main reason is that the armor on the legs and crotch is completely different. Flexibility must be ensured, especially the cavalry pays more attention to practicality and convenience.

Wu Yayu, who really couldn't stand it, shook her head and said;

"You let them rest for a while. They can't practice even if they are exhausted. The method is wrong."

When Zhang Jinyu saw Wu Yayu say this, he knew that she had found the problem and immediately shouted to Ningbian;

"Yingbian, send someone to inform the brothers, dismount and rest, and go to catch fish and grill fish to eat. I will follow the order later."

"It's the Marquis."

Ningbian personally took someone to pass the message.

"You tell me where is not suitable. I didn't see how big the problem is. I just don't know how skilled I am in riding a horse, right?"

Wu Yayu looked at Zhang Jinyu's question with some uncertainty, and it was a little funny.

"The problem is big. You are the infantry riding on horseback. First of all, you have to learn how to ride a horse. When you start practicing, don't wear armor. Your armor is heavy infantry armor, and there is no armor for cavalry.

Weapons can be lengthened, but it is best to use a scimitar. It is not easy to take yourself down when charging and fighting! If it weren't for the saddle and stirrup, would you believe they could fall off?"

Zhang Jinyu suddenly realized after hearing this. No wonder he felt uncomfortable when he looked at it. It was all wrong. This was embarrassing.

"Yayu, can you help me practice it, at least a little more elite."

"No problem, it's about the same month."

"How is it possible, so short."

Zhang Jinyu obviously didn't believe it. The cavalry did not start the army in one year.

"You solve the external conditions and they are very elite, but their riding skills are a little bad. They practice riding within a month, and finally they wear armor and get weapons to train them. I'll show you ours.

You will know the riding skills of the tribal cavalry.”

"Can."

Wu Yayu called all his personal guards, and Zhang Jinyu looked at the Jurchen in front of him. He was tall and tall, obviously one head taller than the big warrior.

Well, there are indeed pigtails on the head, and colorful strips of cloth are on the same piece. This aesthetic is amazing. I just wear a layer of leather armor, which is tattered, but I look good and have a good spirit.

Zhang Jinyu nodded and took them to the brothers in the old camp. Without saying a word, he signaled that Wu Yayu could start.

The soldiers who sat down to rest couldn't help but look here.
