Dayao, a small town that is neither on a major transportation road nor has any specialties, and has a population of only tens of thousands, making it inconspicuous at all.

"The salt team is here! The salt team is here!" As a team of cars entered the city, the city suddenly became boiling.

Many people ran to the city with their bags, and when they ran there they found that there were already dense people standing.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood in the crowd and felt the crowd behind him. He turned his head and looked behind him, then shouted: "What are you squeezing? This time the convoy is so big. It would be nice to have one out of ten people to buy salt. It would be better to go out of the city to pick up the stones and lick it. If it is too late, there will be no stones!"

The so-called licking of stones refers to a kind of marble outside the city, which is bitter, salty, and slightly poisonous. However, these days, many people lack salt and only get out of the city to pick up this kind of stone, lick it and eat a bite of meat.

If Ren Baqian is here, he will know that this is a carbonate rock.

As the young man said, he immediately started to curse. Not long after, a chaotic battle broke out in the crowd. The old man in his seventies and eighties jumped two or three meters high, kicking him out with a strong sound of wind... The aunt on the street hit the eyes of many people with a pair of fists. Even the ten-year-old child crawled in the crowd and repeatedly knocked his vagina.

Fighting is the nature of the ancient tribe, even the simple-looking residents in this small town.

Therefore, it is common to fight a little bit of common trivial matters.

The basic process is generally: "What are you looking at?" "What are you looking at?" "I'll suck you!"

Then there was a punch and kick. It was just a large-scale chaos like today, which was only the case recently when the salt team arrived.

Due to salt deficiency, many people feel that they are getting less and less powerful recently.

When the militia regiment that had just been formed stopped the chaos on the field, many people were still glaring at each other with injuries, but they burst into laughter.

Not long after, the militia regiment transported several trucks of salt bags to the open space in front of everyone, and started selling at a low price under the auspices of the city order, and each person could only buy three taels.

"The price is so low! Unfortunately, it's too small. Otherwise, buy more and keep it at home, so there's no salt." Someone in front whispered.

"Go to dream! Thanks to the early days, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy these."

When the people behind saw the salt in front of them, they were immediately disappointed. As the boy said just now, it would be great if one of the ten people could buy it.

"When will there be salt come?"

"Yes! I don't have the energy to eat salt!"

"Everyone, now Izumo Kingdom, Chen Kingdom, and Daxia have cut off our salt road. It has been two and a half months since a bag of salt has been transported in!" This city commander, and there are several experts in the city who stood in front and whispered loudly.

"Kill them! Take the salt back!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The crowd below suddenly shouted, and the originally simple people suddenly filled with murderous aura and a fierce look appeared on their faces.

If people from other countries see this scene, they can understand why the ancient tribes have only such a small population, but they can compete with other countries, whether they have population, financial resources, materials, and equipment, and they even win in battle.

Even though they have lived in this plain for seventy years, these people are still full of wildness in their bones.

Even if the child who grew up fighting beasts on the mountain was not a child, his blood was still full of desire to fight.

"Everyone, I, Dayao, no longer needs to transport salt from the outside world. I, Dayao, have my own salt field." Cheng Ling said.

As soon as this was said, everyone below was stunned.

Dayao’s salt is completely transported by several other countries. This is something that even children know. When will Dayao have its own salt field?

"First of all, I would like to thank the head of Zizhu Academy for his research on how to make salt from the brine in the mountains."

Everyone was thinking below, where is the Zizhu Academy? Who is Lord Ren? I didn’t remember that there was such a person in the court.

It took a long time before someone remembered that this was the little face His Majesty looked for?

"Which little face is Mr. Ren who you said about Cheng Ling?" someone asked.

"Irregular!" Cheng Ling's face darkened at first, and then he thought about it. Although this was a bit disrespectful to His Majesty, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. He knew more than the people, and had heard about some things in the battle between North and Daxia before, but he still regarded him as a novice in his heart, let alone other people.

"The little guy is because he is white!" Cheng Ling added.

"I didn't say anything else!" The voices in the crowd made everyone laugh, but Cheng Ling's words were better not to say them.

"No matter what, thanks to Lord Ren, we have salt to eat. However, this salt has just been made for a few months and has to be transported to various cities, so it is a little less now. But in the future, this salt will increase and everyone will have it, so you don't have to worry."

Although everyone below smiled, the tension caused by salt deficiency has been relieved a lot, and the impression of Ren Baqian is also very good.

Ren Baqian's reputation among the people has increased a lot from here.

...

Ren Baqian and the Empress stayed in Tianjing for more than three months, and a lot of things happened outside.

There are three things that everyone pays attention to, the first is the war between the Northeast Protectorate and Izumo Kingdom.

Before the empress entered the Tianjing Land, Zhu Wuzhen scattered the city lord coalition into Dayao and destroyed villages, which was the same tactic as Daxia at that time.

In the early days, some border villages were destroyed a lot, but the villagers also taught Yunguo's city lords how to be a human being.

The army was less than 2,000, and it was even defeated in front of the villages of more than 100 people, which made the city lords' coalition forces lose face.

The reason is that the unprepared villages did not have time to move, so there was no way out, and even if they fought until the last one, they would not die.

But the young masters of the city lord coalition army will retreat if the casualties exceed 15%, and the casualties exceed 20%, and the casualties exceed 20%.

In addition, most of the adult ancient tribes have the strength of human wheel warriors.

This led to the advancement of Yun Kingdom in the early stages.

When they learned from their mistakes and formed a large army, the newly trained new army arrived...

The result can be imagined...

When Ren Baqian and others returned to Gucheng, Zi Donglai had already captured four cities in Izumo Kingdom.

The second thing is that the Chen State, whom we already knew, sent troops to declare war.

The war in the southeast was not fierce, and neither Zhuoyue nor Chen seemed to have much interest in fighting. Both sides were on the border and stared at each other every day, occasionally fighting, like a show match, more like a war.

Da Yao is very happy about this, but he doesn't know how long this situation can last.

The third and most important thing is that the route of Daxia, Izumo and Chen State to transport salt to Dayao has been broken. Since Chen State sent troops, no grain of salt has been transported into Dayao, which has made many people very nervous.

Fortunately, recently, the court released a batch of salt, which was enough for 100,000 stones, or 1.2 million kilograms, which was enough for more than 3 million people to eat for one month. If the restrictions were imposed, it could barely be enough for 7 million people to eat.

In addition, the court was vigorously promoting Ren Baqian to study how to make salt in the mountains.

The people of Dayao still have a high degree of trust in the court, just like what happened in that small town, it was staged everywhere, which also slowed down the tension in various places.

However, only a few people know that these salts were accumulated in half a year.

Although the salt wells were excavated one after another and the salt field was expanded, the salt production speed in these three months increased significantly compared with the previous three months, but the salt produced per month was only 30,000 stones, barely enough for 1 million people to eat.

Next, the most important thing is to rely on Zi Dong to grab it from Yun Kingdom.

Therefore, the Empress's first order was to send Zi Donglai, occupy Yun Kingdom as quickly as possible, and send all the salt found in each city back to Dayao.

With the order of the empress, Zi Donglai completely let go of his hands and feet and the offensive was in full swing.

Half a month later, Ren Baqian and the Empress finally returned to Lancheng.
