In the salt mining industry, according to the old practice, on the first day of formal mining, the first batch of salt with the best quality needs to be selected to worship the gods, and the salt head needs to select the most suitable salt to be inspected by the principal, and after the principal agrees, it is put into the pre-prepared shrine to worship the gods, praying for the safety and smoothness of mining.

Xu Gong walked in front of Zheng Peng, held up the plate with both hands, and said respectfully: "General, the mountain god has eaten the food, look, this is the best snowflake salt." ”

Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, and he grabbed a small handful of salt on the plate, only to see that the salt was as white as snow and as fine as snow, smelled it, there was no peculiar smell, and put it in his mouth with a little finger, except for saltiness, there was no bitter taste, although there was no condition to measure the composition of salt, but from the sense of taste, it can be judged that these salts are all high-quality salt.

A lot of salt has a very poor taste because of many impurities, like ordinary herdsmen in the Western Regions, most of them are the cheapest black salt, Zheng Peng tasted it once, it was salty and bitter, there was a taste like drinking medicine, just taste it and vomit it.

The output of Tibetan salt is very low, mostly relying on some brine wells, the output of salt is very poor quality black salt, every time you go down the mountain to beat the grass valley, such as pepper, salt, these necessities of life, more popular than gold and silver goods, it can be imagined, there is this kind of snowflake salt, in the Western Regions is the existence of hard currency.

"Yes, it's good salt," Zheng Peng said in surprise: "I thought that the salt could only be supplied at noon, and the speed was quite fast." ”

Mineral salt needs to be mined, crushed, filtered, halogenated, purified, crystallized and other processes, and the finished product with such high quality is produced before the hour arrives, and the speed is very fast.

Xu Gong said happily: "Back to the general's words, a certain boiled sea salt, hit a brine well and dug a salt pond, or the first time to see such a good salt nest, formed into pieces, a lot of as long as the surface of the layer of sediment scraped off, smashed and grinded, you can get high-grade snowflake salt." ”

After Guo Ziyi saw the salt, he said happily: "It's good salt, now the price of ordinary salt is about 20 wen and one stone, the quality of these salts is so good, it is estimated that doubling is not a problem, this is really a golden mountain." ”

"Twenty cents and one stone?" Cui Xiyi shook his head and said: "Big brother, you are a person in the barracks, you usually put your mind in the army, and you ignore the price of the goods too much, twenty wen and one stone of salt, that's right, but this price is only available in those salt-rich areas along the coast, out of the salt-rich areas, the price of salt continues to rise, the reason is very simple, salt merchants calculate the cost of freight and labor into the price of salt, and it is a lot more, taking the "Erzhejiang Salt" of Jiangnan Province as an example, the price of one stone of cheap salt in Jiangnan Province is about 20 Wen, and the price is at least tripled when it is transported to the Western Regions. You can't get a stone of salt without 60 Wen, this salt will be mixed with impurities in transportation to make huge profits, the salt mined by the stone mountain is as delicate as the end of the snow, and Yuhua salt is not up and down, the price is tripled, not to mention buying salt, even the cost of transporting salt is not enough. ”

Guo Ziyi was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Sixfold, my God, one hundred and twenty wen one stone, this price is too high." ”

Yuhua Salt Guo Ziyi knows that Yuhua Salt is also known as water essence salt, king salt, the salt color is crystal white and bright, reflecting the sun, like amber, it is the top grade of salt, most of it is supplied to the royal family and nobles, and the price is expensive.

Cui Xiyi said with a serious face: "Big brother, one hundred and twenty wen is just the starting price, and the actual price must be higher." ”

Seeing Guo Ziyi's surprised look, Zheng Peng was very happy, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, don't bother, anyway, with one bite of me, you will definitely not be hungry for the two brothers." ”

Guo Ziyi blinked and said a little proudly: "Of course, being a brother with you is equivalent to being a relative of the God of Wealth, and it doesn't bother at all." ”

"Coincidentally, so-and-so is also like this." Cui Xiyi also frowned and said.

The three of them looked at each other and soon burst into laughter.

After laughing, the three of them watched the ceremony of worshiping the gods presided over by Xu Gong, the head of the salt chief, and dispersed after watching it.

Guo Ziyi and Cui Xiyi went back to continue training, Zheng Peng left his henchman Tang Cheng to supervise, and went to the logistics camp to inspect by himself.

As long as you find the right person and go the right way, no matter what work you do, it is easy to get on the right track, and you don't have to do everything yourself, and Zheng Peng's mind can't stay here.

As soon as he returned to the Khalba Mountain military camp, before he entered the door, he saw Lu Jin looking at the camp gate from a distance, and when he saw Zheng Peng coming back, he ran over as if he was flying, and said breathlessly: "Boss, you can come back, if you don't come back, I will have to look for you." ”

Seeing that Lu Jin had a little daughter-in-law looking forward to someone being the master of the house for him, Zheng Peng couldn't help but feel an urge to laugh, and couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing in such a hurry, who stepped on your little tail." ”

"Boss, it's worse than stepping on your tail, if you don't come back, your little ass will be kicked rotten."

"Kick rotten? Who? Zheng Peng frowned on the spot: "Lu Jin, you didn't have a conflict with General Guo or General Cui, right?" ”

Lu Jin is the commander of the former army of the Fourth Army of the West Gate, and he is also a figure in the Fourth Army of the West Gate, in the battalion, no more than one slap in the face of the people who dare to do to him, the new four guerrilla generals, only Song Chong is an outsider, and Song Chong is not a troublemaker, he does not easily violate military discipline, and Lu Jin has a sweet mouth, and he will ask Guo Ziyi and Cui Xiyi for help if there is something, could it be that Guo Ziyi or Cui Xiyi did it?

"No, the younger ones treat them as brothers, and they are respectful, and General Guo and General Cui also regard a certain person as their own people, and their own people don't beat their own people."

Zheng Peng was even more strange, stared at Lu Jin and said, "Don't go around in circles, tell me what's going on, I don't have time to talk to you here." ”

"County Lord," Lu Jin said with a wry smile.

He is also a guerrilla general who commands an army, and he has the ability to call out when something happens, but Landuo is the county lord or an unreasonable county lord, Lu Jin regards himself as a big man and disdains to do things to women, so he is very passive.

"Lord Landau is here?" Zheng Peng said with some surprise.

"Who else but her" Lu Jin complained: "This county lord, as soon as he came to the camp, he looked for the boss, and he couldn't find anyone to lose his temper, General Guo and General Cui saw the opportunity early, and before she got closer, they looked for a chance to flash, and the small reaction was a little late, so she grabbed it, and she couldn't run if she wanted to." ”

Zheng Peng's brows furrowed even more, and he said with some displeasure: "What about the county lord, this is the camp in the Kabar Mountains, the military camp is heavy, not to mention her, even if her son An Lu Khan wants to come in, she has to stop outside the camp and wait, look at you, he shrugged like a little daughter-in-law and got angry, what are those subordinates doing to eat, there is a villain, just drive her away." ”

was still bullied in his own territory, and Zheng Peng was angry with him.

was said to be a shrugged bag, I thought that Lu Jin, who had always had a good face, would not be able to raise his head, but he didn't expect Lu Jin to raise his head, and said with some pride: "Run away with the lord of Landuo County?" No, if the little one drives the county lord away, the boss will definitely whip me. ”

"Alright, don't be wordy, get to the point." Zheng Peng was a little impatient.

The joy of mining high-quality salt has made this product talk a lot.

Lu Jin put away his smile and said seriously: "Boss, the county lord of Lando is here, bringing her most valued finch slave, as well as more than a dozen eagle chicks, I heard her say that she wants to train eagles here, do you say you can drive her away?" ”

Finch? Eagle chicks?

Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Where is the county lord?" ”

Everything has spirituality, and the eagle is no exception, a well-trained and spiritual eagle is equivalent to a "high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft" on the battlefield, Zheng Peng's first prestige in the Western Regions was to cooperate with Lan Duo, using her subordinate Xiaobai to find the secret transport team of Tubo disguised as a small tribe, and intercept a large number of iron stones, which is Zheng Peng's first great achievement in the Western Regions.

It's a pity that Xiaobai was accidentally injured in the later battle and withdrew from the battlefield, which became a pity, and when he heard that Lan Duo brought her finch slave and eagle chick to the camp, Zheng Peng came to his senses on the spot.

If you tame a spiritual eagle and add your secret weapon, a telescope, it will be like a tiger on the battlefield.

"Boss, the county lord is waiting for you in your Zhongjun camp."

Zheng Peng didn't say a word, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's see if this county lord is a villain or a nobleman." ”
