  Chapter 254: The Salt Mountain Tribesmen

Hei Qi stood outside the door and looked at the way the two men spoke. He wondered if the other person was talking about him and The Salt Mountain Tribesmen. He tried to raise his ears to hear something.

But Yuan Zhan and the juvenile priest, like Hei Jiao, spoke in a very low voice. With straining his ear, he did not even hear a word.

The two men were too close.

About Hei Qi had been standing outside for a long time, and the rest of the tribe was okay, but the Moer-Gan People of The Jiu Yuan kept a secret eye on it and passed it on to Cai Yu.

"Maybe he wants to exchange their salt for something, but he dared not go in." Cai Yu waved disdainfully, indicating that such a thing should not be taken seriously.

Just as Cai Wei was there, it was funny to hear, "The Salt Mountain Tribesmen want to trade their crude salt with The Jiu Yuan?"

Cai Yu heard a little, "What's wrong? The Jiu Yuans also produces salt?"

Cai Wei laughed and said nothing but, "The Salt Mountain Tribesmen are about to run for nothing."

Cai Yu actually knew that Qi Yuan DRen had just returned the blood salt from The Jiu Yuan, but when he saw Cai Wei, he refused to say it clearly and did not inquire, only laughed in his heart. Cai Wei is Qi Yuan DRen, and he is loyal to Qi Hao DRen, as the Moer-Gan People knew about this.

Qi Hao DRen may be a bit reckless, but Qi Yuan DRen is probably too brainy and much weaker in strength than Qi Hao DRen. Qi Yuan DRen can get back many good things that the Moer-Gan did not have or lacked, but Qi Hao DRen can take warriors out and grab more slaves.

Besides, everyone knew that both the messenger of Priest DRen and The Three Cities preferred Qi Hao DRen, Qi Yuan DRen. If Chief hadn't been behind them, it would be a question whether they could live to this day.

Cai Wei and Cai Yu collude secretly, not thinking too much about the behavior of the Salt Mountain Tribesmen.

After all, it's a trade fair. The Moer-Gan, in order not to push the newly arrived Salt Mountain Tribesmen too hard, they also allowed them to participate in the market, and allowed them to exchange the worst crude salt with other tribes. The Salt Mountain Tribesmen is next to the Jiu Yuan, and wants to exchange some with this wealthy tribe. Good things are normal, too.

Even if the Salt Mountain Tribesmen had any ideas, would the Jiu Yuan, who wants to find a backing hill to refine better fine salt and rich in blood salt, like them?

Yes, Cai Yu and Ai Wei both know what the Salt Mountain Tribesmen are thinking, and they want to escape from The Moer-Gan and start over, but what?

Not to mention that the Jiu Yuan doesn't necessarily like them. Even if they look for new salt, will the Jiu Yuan offend the Moer-Gan for such a small tribe?

What's more, the Salt Mountain Tribesmen really arrived at the territory of the Jiu Yuan, and life is not necessarily better than it is now. Otherwise, why hasn't the Salt Mountain Tribesmen had any contact with other big tribes so far?

Hei Qi was invited into the house.

"Let me see your salt." Yan Mo asked him to sit down.

Hei Qi did not sit down, but rushed out the best salt they had stolen from their family.

Yan Mo looked at the color and found that it was thicker and darker than the sundried salt particles he occasionally bought in the seaside salt fields on his previous medical visit, but much better than the salt he had eaten in The Yuan Ji Tribe.

Such salt grains can be boiled once or twice and filtered to make good fine salt.

Yan Mo was interested in the Salt Mountain Tribesmen's salt-making methods, and searched for his original memory and found that he didn't know much about these things. The only thing he knew was that not everyone knew how to make salt in The Salt Mountain Tribesmen.

In fact, red salt is not precise salt, it does not completely remove impurities in salt, such as potassium, magnesium, bromine, and these soluble metal impurities.

Yan Mo remembers how to remove impurities in the salt and get refined salt like his predecessors, mentioned in chemistry classes in junior and senior high schools. He often uses various chemical extracts for medical research, and the purification of salt is not difficult.

The difference between modern and ancient salt-making lies in the late treatment, which is similar in the early stage. The method of removing boiling, which is laborious and destructive to the environment, is usually used in the early stage to get salt grains by means of duplicate measures of brine-tanning, sun-drying and filtering.

Of course, there are simpler and quicker methods in modern pre-processing, but these methods cannot be used by Yan Mo, and can only be ignored.

In the later stage, the most popular way to change crude salt into table salt is to use recrystallization method to obtain more pure refined salt.

This recrystallization method is to mix and dissolve the crude salt in clean water until it no longer dissolves; then add barium chloride, sodium hydrochloride and sodium carbonate in sequence; the third step is filtration; the fourth step is to add appropriate hydrochloric acid to the filtrate; and finally heat the filtrate to evaporate to obtain the refined salt.

The hydrochloric acid in the fourth step of the above stepped can be directly heated and evaporated without adding hydrochloric acid.

Yan Mo tried to further purify the red salt in the sun. His first consideration was the recrystallization process.

There are two kinds of chemical extracts that he can find in this way.

Sodium hydroxide can be obtained by adding water to quicklime and boiling the fine salt nearest to the refined salt for many times, then boiling and evaporating the mixed solution.

Quick lime, on the other hand, can be decomposed from the colloidal lime mud that has been discovered.

Sodium carbonate is alkali, which is not difficult to obtain. It can be obtained by burning plants to ash, adding water, stirring and dissolving, and then boiling and evaporating the dissolved water.

He also has ready-made suitable plants, which grow in large quantities on the edge of salt lakes.

But barium chloride, he can't. That's why he boiled the salt again and again after sun drying it, because he only had this way to get the more pure fine salt.

But this method, The Guide seems not to be much advocated, his SCUM VALUE reduction point is not much.

For this reason, Yan Mo has a certain expectation for the Salt Mountain Tribesmen's salt making method, even if their method is not good, but as long as we can find out something useful for him, it is good.

Hei Qi was nervous, and looking at the teenager who was thinking about something after tasting the salt, he began to think that his previous guess was ridiculous.

But it's a little bit like that. He thought that the priest, a boy who looks so calm, wise and dignified, would be his silly brother.

Perhaps with such an idea, he looked at Yan Mo again and found that the more he looked at it, the less it looked like it.

Apart from the five senses, the young man's sitting posture, manner and movement in front of him are not like his brother's.

Hei Qi is a little trance. Hei Jiao is dead. His body may be muddy. No, it should have been eaten clean by wild animals.

In short, even if the Yuan Ji Tribe became The Jiu Yuan People, his brother could not become a priest of The Jiu Yuan.

He couldn't be so lucky!

Hei Qi wakes up from his trance. Although he has basically decided that the teenager in front of him cannot be his brother, he can't help but want to stay with him for a little longer and talk to him more.

Yuan Zhan looked up and down at Hei Qi and saw that Hei Qi was more nervous. He did not understand why the other party looked at him with such strange eyes.

About Hei Qi's face is somewhat similar to Yan Mo's, and Yuan Zhan is pleased to see him.

"You want to get away from The Moer-Gan?"

Bang! Hei Qi was as shocked as if he had been hit in the head by a sudden and fierce blow. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He could only look at Yuan Zhan in horror.

"You, you..."

"It's no wonder how I know it. Everyone can see it." Yuan Zhan touched Yan Mo under the table to keep him silent for the time being.

Yan Mo shut up and see what Yuan Zhan is going to do about it.

"If we help you leave The Moer-Gan and find a suitable land to live on, what can you give us?"

It was straightforward, but it quickly calmed Hei Qi down.

This is an opportunity, not to be missed! Hei Qi, be bold! Hei Qi went through the gains and losses quickly in his mind, trying to calm down the tunnel: "We can always provide you with this better fine salt at half the exchange value of other tribes."

Yuan Zhan sneers and reaches out to Yan Mo.

Yan Mo took out a small bag of red salt from his pocket and put it in his palm.

Yuan Zhan threw the bag to Hei Qi.

Hei Qi reached for it, looked at them doubtfully, bowed his head and opened the bag.

Is this? Hei Qi didn't recognize it at once. He thought the fine particles were beautiful in color. He carefully held the bag close to his nose and sniffed it. He didn't smell anything.

But whether it was some intuition of salt or something else, Hei Qi's face changed slightly, and without asking what it was, he put out his finger and dipped some salt particles on the tip of his tongue.

"This is salt!" Hei Qi again looked at the two in shock. And it's the finest salt they have, and it tastes a lot better! "I heard The Moer-Gan got better salt, was it you?"

Yuan Zhan did not admit it or deny it. He only said, "We have such red salt. Do you think we need you to supply us with salt?"

Hei Qi was pale, and his sole reliance on the Salt Mountain Tribesmen was nothing in people's eyes, so how could he negotiate with the Jiu Yuan?

He couldn't help looking at teenagers who were similar to his brother.

Yan Mo had no feelings for the young man, but maybe it came from the influence of physical memory. He still had a certain affinity for Hei Qi. He could not bear to see his face disappointed and his hopelessness ruthlessly cuts off.

"Do you have blood warriors?"

Hei Qi shook his head.

"Neither your chief nor priest awakens the blood ability?"

Hei Qi did not know how to answer, nor did he understand the intention of the young priest to ask him these questions, so he shook his head again.

Yuan Zhan thought of Yan Mo's ability and immediately understood why he asked these questions. If the Salt Mountain Tribesmen had more people with the same abilities as Mo, they would be of great use in The Jiu Yuan, even if they did not need to make salt.

Originally, only Mo could communicate with dwarfs, savages, animals and so on. But when the Salt Mountain Tribesmen came, Mo stimulated their blood ability, so that they could replace Mo to help people communicate with those races that did not speak well, so that they would not have to come to anything that could not be solved without language. Look for Mo.

Thought of this, Yuan Zhan's consciousness immediately from the other side is the relatives of Mo had to accept them, to the ability of this tribe to the Jiu Yuan has great use, that is, to rob people.

"If you want us to help you leave here and live a better life than you do now, besides salt, you The Salt Mountain Tribesmen have to come up with something that makes me feel like its worth it." Yuan Zhan just didn't say that as long as you promise to merge into the Jiu Yuan, I can take you without anything.

Yan Mo saw that Yuan Zhan had been awakened by his problems, so he stopped talking about the Salt Mountain Tribesmen. He planned to leave it to Yuan Zhan without any interference.

That's why he didn't want to admit Hei Qi. He didn't have any feelings for them. He just traded a corpse. He didn't depend on them to raise and live. Since he could simply repay his "kindness", why did he boast that he had to find some super emperors for himself and his tribe? How stupid would he be? To entangle himself?

But Hei Qi didn't think it would be a good thing to merge into The Jiu Yuan. They were suppressed too much by The Moer-Gan. They just wanted to find their own land and develop freely and slowly, even though the hardships of life would be hard at the beginning, those were irrelevant.

Besides walking with The Jiu Yuan, are they going back to the original land? But is the tribe is still there. If they are greedy again, how can they take them without waiting for them to strike their feet and attack them?

Will they be accepted by The Jiu Yuan? Or has Yuan Ji been annexed by Jiu Yuan? Otherwise, why is Yuan Hi no longer called Yuan Ji? Even with such rich, and so good red salt?

Hei Qi couldn't help asking the question: "Didn't you come from Yuan Ji? How did you become Jiu Yuan People? I heard that you are from the upstream of the river. Are you no longer living in the original land?

This question aroused the hatred of the Zhi people and the Sun Worshippers in Yuan Zhan's hearts, no matter how rich and powerful his tribe is now, and the shame that they had been driven out of their ancestral lands is still deep.

If The Jiu Yuan had not been built for less than two years, everything was still developing and running in, and they had long turned to attack the Zhi People and the Sun Worshippers.

Yuan Zhan's hatred was slightly lower, and he thought more about it. Before The Jiu Yuan was strong enough, he did not intend to go to war casually.

Yuan Zhan did not say what had happened, but he only said, "The Jiu Yuan is a tribe sheltered by the ancestor god. Everywhere the Mountain God Jiu Feng can fly is our tribe territory."

Yan Mo looked at Yuan Zhan. What kind of little lover did he find for himself? The man exposed his entire ambition in one sentence.

Yuan Zhan didn't notice anything wrong with what he said. He continued: "Yuan Ji's original land is no longer suitable for survival. With the ancestors' priest help, Yuan Ji people came and found The Jiu Yuan and now live there too."

Hei Qi asked, "Is Jiu Yuan made up of many tribes?"

"Yes."

If they can't live as freely as before, then joining a big tribe, accepting its protection, serving the tribe, and enjoying all that other tribesmen enjoy is also a way to become the real people of the tribe, but there is still a problem.

He thought and thought, grinding his teeth, and asked, "Are the priests and the chiefs of those tribes still alive?"

Yuan Zhan knew what he was worried about and answered, "Of course. But they can no longer serve as the priest and the chief of Jiu Yuan, but they can be the leader of the warriors, the elders or the warrior of the tribe to help Chief and The Priest run the tribe together. Only any tribe that wants to join the Jiu Yuan must pass the test of the ancestors. Only those who are truly loyal to the Jiu Yuan, accept all the rules of the Jiu Yuan, and are willing to work and contribute for the Jiu Yuan can become the Jiu Yuan People.

"What rules does the Jiu Yuan have?"

Yuan Zhan was too lazy to elaborate and waved, "Ding Fei, you'll send some meat next door and tell them all the rules of our Jiu Yuan."

Ding Fei received the order, "Yes."

Hei Qi stopped digging into the topic because he could not decide on the following things. He had to go back to the chief and discuss the matter with their priest.

Looking at Hei Qi leaving, Yan Mo opened his mouth again, and he gave a promise: "When you go back and tell your Chief and Priest, you say the Priest of the Jiu Yuan himself said that if you are willing to join the Jiu Yuan, the Jiu Yuan People will help you, as long as you don't pit yourself, we will take your people. Not just a few of you who can be taken away from the Moer-Gan."

Looking back, Hei Qi said with more expectations: "So Priest DRen, if we are willing to join the Jiu Yuan, can you guarantee that both our chief and priest will be the elders in the Jiu Yuan, and that our Tribesmen will enjoy everything they enjoy like the Jiu Yuan people, but not the others?" Will it be inferior to them?

"The Jiu Yuan People are no inferior to anyone else." Although there may be status differences in the future due to the value of strength and wealth, it does not mean that anyone is superior to anyone else. He may not be able to achieve complete fairness, but the rules now and in the future will try to make up for it.

Hei Qi also wanted to ask him, "Are you Hei Jiao?" But now it's obviously not a suitable occasion.

Hei Qi came with a feeling of uncertainty and left with a feeling of uncertainty.

When he returned, he immediately asked Uncle Qing Ze for details of his visit to The Jiu Yuan.

Qing Ze did not listen as heartbeat as Hei Qi did. His eyebrows frowned tightly.

"Uncle Qing Ze?"

"Ask the chief and priest before you go back." Qing Ze motioned Hei Qi not to tell anyone about it again. In the afternoon, he went out with some salt on his back for a change of food. It took him quite a while to come back.

After Hei Qi left, Yan Mo put the Salt Mountain Tribesmen issue aside for a while and asked Ding Fei to invite the Earth Cliff and other tribes to come over separately over time.

Except for the individual members of the tribes, no one else knew what Yan Mo had talked to them, but the people who happened to see them all found that those who came out of the second floor of The Jiu Yuan were very satisfied.
