Chapter 209 Salt Mine
That piece of wasteland is a saline-alkali land, not an ordinary saline-alkali land, but a saline-alkali land where salt mines can be dug directly.

The salt mine is the key to making salt. Of course, the salt mine here is toxic and cannot be used directly, so the Tujia people have not developed this saline-alkali land.The Zhou family tribe is a small branch of the big family, and someone in the big family is studying how to remove toxins from the salt mine.Therefore, the Zhou family tribe just wants to occupy this salt mine. After the big family researches it, they can directly mine the salt mine.Unfortunately, their plan failed, and the salt mine has entered Mo Yu's pocket.

Under the leadership of Zhan Yang, Mo Yu came to this saline-alkali land.

The saline-alkali land is not very big. When Mo Yu came here, he could easily see the salt mines exposed on the surface. These salt mines are not very pure, contain some minerals, and the color is orange-red. You can tell at a glance that they are not edible salt block.

"Master, these are poisonous salts, why do we need these salts?"

Zhan Yang didn't understand that these salt mines were poisonous salt, which animals would not eat, so what did Mo Yu want these salt mines for.

"Toxic salt? Haha, you are ignorant. These salt mines seem to you to be poisonous salts, but to me they are gold mines. What is salt? Salt is an indispensable thing for people. If these salt mines remove the Toxicity, then we can make a fortune from these salt mines and quickly develop our Mojiajun. Just in time, I know how to remove the toxicity in this salt mine. Zhan Yang, go and call Zheng Xin over. "

"Yes, master, I'll go right away!"

Mo Yu has a way to turn salt mines into edible salt. As long as the salt mines are turned into edible salt, Mo Jiajun can grow rapidly.

Zhan Yang found Zheng Xin, and Mo Yu told Zheng Xin to arrange for people to develop the salt mine. After the salt mine was dug out, Mo Yu taught Zheng Xin how to extract edible salt.

"I understand. So, my lord, what do you think about letting the Tujia tribe come over to dig salt mines?"

Naturally, you can't use your own people to dig salt mines. In addition to the Mo family army, there are the Xu family and the Tujia family. The Xu family sincerely surrenders, while the Tujia family is forced to surrender. Zheng Xin can still tell which one is lighter and which one is heavier.

"Well, yes, let the Tu family come over to mine."

The Tujia mining is also OK, Mo Yu doesn't care, anyway, it's not the Mo Jiajun mining.

After finishing the work here, Mo Yu returned to the station and prepared to let people encircle a piece of land to build a salt-making factory.

The salt factory was built outside the wall, and a separate wall was built to enclose the entire salt factory.

The construction of salt production takes a month. During this period, Mo Yu has been tracking the construction progress of the salt production plant.After the construction of the factory was completed, Mo Yu deployed several soldiers from the Mo Family Army to learn how to make salt.

The method of making salt is very simple. It is nothing more than breaking the salt mine, stirring it with water and boiling it. After the water evaporates, you can get edible salt.

However, this kind of edible salt contains some bitterness. If you want to get pure edible salt, you must refine it again to get fine salt.

People in this world don't know how to use such a simple method, and no one studies it. Their salt is dried directly from sea water. The taste is bitter, but not unacceptable.

What Mo Yu has to do is to produce fine salt. As soon as the fine salt is produced, he will firmly control the salt production market in the southern continent.

After several soldiers learned to make salt, the salt factory officially started.However, after the start of the salt factory, Mo Yu discovered a problem, that is, the salt factory burns a lot of firewood. In less than a month, the salt factory has burned all the dry firewood nearby.

This is not possible. The salt-making factory cannot always burn firewood. This will pull all the productivity into the salt-making factory. Mo Yu must find a substitute for firewood, and the best substitute is coal, but the coal mine is in Xujiahe There are no boundaries on the Tujia's land, only on the Zhou's land, and the Zhou family has already developed the coal mine on the Zhou's land.If you want that coal mine, you can only snatch it from the Zhou family.

In this case, Mo Yu can only launch an attack on the Zhou family.It also happened to solve the harassment caused by the Zhou family tribe in the past two months.

In the past two months, the Zhou tribe has been sending troops to harass the salt mines, and they are not even afraid of black powder anymore.This matter has always made Zhan Yang very distressed. Every time Zhan Yang sent troops to chase these soldiers who harassed the mines, these soldiers from the Zhou family tribe ran very fast, and Zhan Yang's soldiers could not catch up. If they ignored them, these soldiers would The soldiers of the Zhou family would come to harass them in the middle of the night, which was extremely miserable.

Now that the Zhou family tribe was about to be attacked, Zhan Yang asked Mo Yu for orders to lead troops to attack the Zhou family tribe.

"Well, you will lead the troops to attack the Zhou family tribe. You must take down the Zhou family tribe. Okay, let's go!"

Mo Yu originally wanted to go into battle in person, but since Zhan Yang asked for orders, he would leave it to Zhan Yang.

"Yes, young master, I will definitely take down the Zhou family tribe. But, young master, can you give me some more black powder?"

Attacking the Zhou clan is difficult without black powder. After all, the Zhou clan has a large number of people. Even if more than 100 people died before, they still have more than 400 people who can fight now, and the Zhou clan is now messing with the Nuo clan. Together, there will be even more people. If you want to fight the Zhou family tribe, you must have enough black powder to blow them all up.

"Black powder, yes, but there's not much black powder left, so use it sparingly."

The black gunpowder was brought over from the Dynasty. Without a system, there would be no replenishment, so use less, so Mo Yu asked Zhan Yang to use it sparingly.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhan Yang knows that the use of black powder is less, so Zhan Yang can only use black powder in key positions.

At the beginning of the operation, the entire Mo family army was mobilized, and even some soldiers from the Xu family were also mobilized to follow the troops to attack the Zhou family tribe.

The Zhou family tribe is located in a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is no black powder, it will be very difficult for Zhan Yang to get in.But now, with black powder, everything is easier.The black gunpowder opened the way and directly blew up the city wall of the Zhou family tribe, and Zhan Yang led the soldiers to kill in.

The battle was fierce, but a group of warriors from the Zhou family tribe who had not received decent military training were vulnerable to the Mo family's army. Soon the entire Zhou family tribe was captured, and Zhan Yang even killed Zhou. The patriarch of the Nuojia tribe, and Nuobaimi, the patriarch of the Nuojia tribe, was captured alive.

"Let me go. I am the head of the Nuo family. If you don't let me go, our Nuo family will definitely fight to the death with you!"

The head of the Nuo family, Nuo Baimi, came to the Zhou family tribe to discuss how to deal with the new Mo family army. Who knows, before they could discuss a reason, the Mo family army came to fight.
