If the seawater cannot be salted, then the rock salt in this area will probably not be usable.
There was a song in my previous life that went like this: "If one day, the world has changed and all the seas have turned into mulberry fields, will you still be by my side and accompany me through the long night..."
When the sea really turns into a mulberry field, the salty sea water leaks due to various reasons, leaving only salt, and then in the earth, under the deposition of time, rock salt is formed.
Therefore, the so-called rock salt and sea salt are essentially one.
Today’s sea salt is tomorrow’s rock salt, today’s rock salt…
The production area of large-scale salt rocks is silently telling people that this place was once a land of vast seas.
In Fang Tian's slight meditation, Xi Yan solemnly said: "Your Highness, you asked me to investigate the situation of salt in the city, but in fact, it is not just about salt. Currently, many industries within the jurisdiction of Yanhuang City are in extreme chaos.
middle."
"Extremely" confused, Fang Tian was slightly surprised by Xi Yan's wording.
Chaos is normal, is it the handover between the old and the new? Although it is just the handover between the new city and the old city, it is not fundamentally different from the alternation between the ancient Chinese dynasties in the previous life. They are all the conversion and circulation of resources, but it is the type and size of the resources.
Maybe it's just different.
Therefore, Fang Tian could have expected the possible chaos, because this was a story that had been played out in China for thousands of years in previous lives. Although the world was different, the scripts were similar.
However, is there anything he doesn't know about the "extreme" chaos?
Although since he was promoted to the seventh-level magician, Fang Tian's level, words and deeds, and more direct feelings when face to face, no one can simply regard him as a teenager anymore.
Especially after becoming a mage, and especially in the past two or three months, Andi Eric Xiyan and others have slowly completely forgotten his age, but at this time, Xiyan still seems to be afraid that Fang Tian has something to do.
Without understanding, he said in detail:
“Within the urban area, there are mainly five salt lakes where salt is produced.”
"These five salt lakes, some are large and some are small, but the two largest ones are one in the south and one in the north, respectively on the side of the boundary of our Yanhuang New City."
As soon as Fang Tian heard this, he knew it was fun.
In previous lives, ancient Chinese farmers and neighbors whose houses or fields bordered each other could easily cause disputes of all sizes.
For example, there is a tree planted close to the border that belongs to the A family. When the tree is small, it doesn't matter, but if it grows a little larger, especially if it has lush branches and leaves, problems will definitely arise.
Family B will definitely be unhappy.
Grass. Your tree has so many branches and leaves that it blocks all the sunlight in my field. The crops will not grow well. Please plow them out quickly.
Family A said my tree has no branches or leaves.
This is even worse, the Yi family must have said, your shabby tree has grown so tall and taken away all the fertilizer from my land. How many years have it been since? I have been unhappy with it for a long time!
This is a matter of land. It is a minor issue. Whether or not the tree will be plowed in the end actually only hurts the face. In terms of "interests", the relationship is not really that big.
When it comes to the occupation of residential land, it is no small issue.
For example, when Zhang Tingyu's father was the prime minister in the Qing Dynasty, his hometown had a dispute with his neighbors over the homestead. In the end, the prime minister's "a piece of paper was just for the wall, so why not let him have three feet?" The Great Wall is still thousands of miles away today.
Now, I can’t see the first emperor of Qin.” It became a good story and ended.
The reason why it has become a good story is "What's wrong with letting him be three feet away?"
And the reason why "it doesn't matter if he is three feet tall" is because as a prime minister, Fang Fang is not only big-hearted, nor does he just want to show his big-heartedness to the outside world, but he really regards this matter as a small matter.
It's so small that it's not even worth taking seriously.
Giving in does not hurt the face. The outside world will only say that he is generous, but it does not hurt the reality. Does the Prime Minister's house need to care about such a thing?
So, I really gave in.
But this is just a special case after all. More often than not, the two families are similar, or about the same.
In this case, how to let it go?
Once you give in, the loss of profits is secondary. What's more, after giving in, your family will be disgraced in the local area. Not only you, but even your children will be criticized when they go out.
Moreover, this situation will definitely not pass in three to five years, let alone three to five years, it will not last for thirty to fifty years, and it may even last for several generations!
So, in fact, because of this kind of thing, countless families have been beaten to death.
Ridiculous?
Not funny at all.
Although the interests are small, the implications are large.
It's like this between two families, it's like this between two families, and it's actually the same between two countries. It's just that the size of the plates is different. In terms of nature, it's always been the same.
Therefore, there was a saying in ancient China that "the family governs the country and brings peace to the world." The fundamentals of governing a family are no different from governing the entire world.
It's just an improvement in level.
Sure enough, Xi Yan continued to say: "These two large salt lakes, the salt lake in the north was originally controlled by several mercenary groups in Black Wind City, and the salt produced in this salt lake has always been sold to the north.
"
"Ever since this place was included in the Yanhuang City area, that place has become chaotic. When His Highness asked me to investigate, the original mercenary groups that controlled the Salt Lake were dispersed long ago. These mercenary groups were
After it was broken up, there were still many forces occupying this place, but they were all broken up again within a few days."
"After several rounds, everyone understood that this place is not something they can occupy."
"Now, the situation there is that we can't tell who occupies it. Dozens of forces, large and small, are stationed there. As soon as I passed by, everyone was alarmed. Then I realized that this situation was actually also the case for Your Highness.
You caused it."
Speaking of this, Xi Yan said with a slightly wry smile.
"Me?" Fang Tian was really confused.
"Your Highness, you will understand once you hear what I say." Xi Yan had a strange expression on his face, "It's actually useless for me to investigate there. They said it themselves. They occupy it, and they don't want this salt lake at all.
Your Highness, do you know who those people are?"
"The magicians in charge are all level nine! There isn't even an eighth level!"
"The warriors are in charge. Most of those warriors are at level six, and only a few are at level five! But that's a bunch of them, all at level five!"
Fang Tian still has no idea.
But at this time, the three of them, Andy Eric Pat, all understood, and then their expressions became a little weird, and they looked at Fang Tian.
Seeing that Fang Tian was still confused, Xi Yan could only say again:
"These people don't care at all about the Salt Lake thing! They just like your Highness. They know that after your Highness becomes the city lord, sooner or later you will notice these things, and sooner or later the Salt Lake will be taken over by Yanhuang City.
They just want to build a relationship with Your Highness through this."
At this moment, Fang Tian finally understood, and his expression became as weird as the people present.
"So, these warriors and magicians come from various places? And their forces are all temporarily gathered together? Also, the same situation is almost the same in the salt lake in the south?" Fang Tiandao.
Xi Yan nodded and said: "That's basically it. But in the salt lake in the south, the situation is a little more complicated."
Having said this, Xi Yan's face turned solemn and returned to his usual coldness: "Your Highness, the city where the salt lake is located is called Xiaoye City, and a certain magician from Linhai City is here now."
Magician, used in this place, this title means holding the sky, which is a quasi-law.
At the level of quasi-law, it was solemnly mentioned by Xi Yan, a junior mage...
If it’s not a level, it must be an identity.
"This magician is a disciple of someone in Linhai City?" Fang Tiandao said.
Xi Yan nodded silently.
Andy and the others all looked cold at this time.
"Then are there other forces here? I mean the situation is similar to that of Salt Lake in Black Wind City." Fang Tian asked.
"There are still some, actually more, at least there are more than a hundred shares. But they are basically in a wait-and-see state. They want to take this opportunity to rely on you, Your Highness, but they are also afraid of really making the Linhai City side unhappy.
The most important thing is that they still don’t know what you think, Your Highness.”
"That's it. Then go over there and see if anyone can contact you?" Fang Tianda said after thinking for a moment.
When Fang Tian asked, Xi Yan's face became weird again: "Your Highness, the first person to contact me is the magician from Linhai City." (To be continued...)
