The rather overbearing voice made Zhen Sanjiang's body tremble violently, and the panic in his eyes reached the extreme.
Saline-alkali land is the foundation of the Salt Gang's foundation in the world, and the method of discovering saline-alkali land is even more secret among secrets.
If anyone tells this, they will be hunted down by the entire Salt Gang.
"Your Highness, King Zhao, I really can't say this. Once I say it, the lives of my whole family will be at risk. I'm afraid I will be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves."
With ice in his eyes, Zhao Rui grabbed Zhen Sanjiang by the collar and lifted him high.
"If you don't say anything, I will cut you into pieces right now, and none of your nine tribes will be left alive!"
Zhen Sanjiang's body suddenly froze there. Both the Yan Gang and Zhao Rui had the ability to destroy his nine tribes.
At this point, he didn't know what to do.
"If you can tell me where the salt-alkali land is, I may be able to save your life, but if you don't tell me anything, you will only die."
Zhen Sanjiang thought about it for a moment, then his head nodded like a rattle.
"There is a large area of saline-alkali land in the woods east of Anji City. The salt produced is enough for the entire Anji City for ten years!"
Zhao Rui didn't hesitate at all and immediately pushed Zhen Sanjiang towards the saline-alkali land. The people in the city were also extremely excited and followed closely behind.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive in the middle of the woods. Although there was a large pond here, there was no grass growing around it and not a single living creature could be seen.
Zhao Rui's pupils suddenly dilated, he walked over one after another, picked up a pool of water and licked it.
The bitter taste made him excited. This was indeed a pure saline-alkali land. If it could be fully utilized, it would not only produce salt, but also saltpeter!
No matter what it is, it is what he urgently needs now!
The great merchants have already unified the world. The next step is to develop people's livelihood and strengthen the country. Salt is the top priority.
In the history of Blue Star, people have rebelled not once or twice because they cannot afford salt. If you want to stabilize your rule, you must have enough salt production.
Saltpeter is indispensable for industrial development and is also a raw material for making gunpowder.
If you want to increase productivity and make the country stronger, you cannot do without saltpeter.
"Immediately order people to protect this place. No one is allowed to come even half a step closer!"
The officials of Anji City who were standing nearby did not dare to show any signs of neglect and hurriedly sent people back to the city to gather troops and horses.
Zhen Sanjiang is still panic-stricken. Although the salt-alkali land has been found, he can't guarantee whether Zhao Rui will keep his promise and let him live.
"Your Highness!" Zhen Sanjiang came closer like a pug: "I also know how to refine salt. If you don't mind, I can do it now..."
"No need!" A trace of contempt flashed in Zhao Rui's eyes: "I also know the method you know, but you may not know my method."
The cold voice full of murderous intent immediately made Zhen Sanjiang stand there like a stone statue.
This means that he has no value at all to Zhao Rui.
"Your Highness, does what you just promised me still count?"
Zhen Sanjiang was terrified, fearing that Zhao Rui would behead him!
"Don't worry!" Zhao Rui's face became more playful: "I will do what I say, but you have to tell everything you know about the Salt Gang and still get a title!"
Zhen Sanjiang's breathing suddenly became rapid. This was equivalent to completely breaking up with the Federation. However, he had sold the location of the salt-alkali land to Zhao Rui. Based on this alone, the Salt Gang would never let him go.
After a moment of silence, Zhen Sanjiang took out a map from his body.
