Those years when I led the Fox Clan

Chapter 84 Salt

In the conference hall, all the windows were closed, only the light from the top floor and flickering candles illuminated the hall.In the supposedly lively hall, there were only 20 elders, the queen, and Duge left at this moment.All eyes were locked on a boiling stone pot in the middle of the hall, with serious and earnest faces.It made the already dark and depressing scene even more breathless.

They can't be blamed for this, after all, what is boiling in the pot is a major event related to the future of the fox clan.

The gurgle of boiling liquid echoed in the hall.

Other than that, only everyone was breathing nervously.

Duge leaned back on the chair with a relaxed look, despising these primitive people in his heart.The drowsiness keeps rising, the process of boiling such a big pot of sea water is too boring.

In the end, Duge couldn't help it, and fell asleep lying on the table.

Just when he was sleeping soundly, suddenly a loud voice roared.He was so scared that he fell to the ground with a plop.

"Come out, come out!!!"

That familiar voice immediately let him know who it was, who else would be besides that fiery elder Firefox?

Having been disturbed from his dream, Du Ge got up depressed.

The surrounding elders couldn't bear it anymore, and they all gathered around the pot, and those who couldn't squeeze in were screaming outside.We all want to see the moment when the salt precipitates out.

Duge was a little affected by people's emotions, and tried to squeeze into the crowd, but was squeezed out by the excited elders.

"Cut~ A group of primitive people, what's so interesting about salt precipitation."

With a mutter, Duge sat back on his seat.

After a while, when the brine in the pot was almost gone, a large handful of white crystals had already precipitated out at the bottom of the pot.Finally, under the queen's order, all the elders sat back in their seats.

After the bonfire was extinguished, Du Ge took the bowls and plates, and each of them divided a plate to precipitate coarse salt.

After the elders couldn't wait to taste it, they became excited again.

"It's true! It's real salt!" "Salt can really be boiled, god of war Ares!" The lack of salt has made these people regard simple salt as a treasure.

"Damn the lion clan, how long have you lied to us, saying that it was dug out of a cave, damn it!" The elder blue fox who has been in charge of the transaction learned that the production of salt is so simple, and scolded the lion clan bitterly, the high transaction price How many years have you lied to the fox family.Now that she learned the truth, she had the urge to find a piece of tofu and pretend to be dead.

Hearing Elder Lanhu's words, Du Ge suddenly said: "No, maybe they didn't lie to us. There are many ways to produce salt. They may mine mineral salt, and the consumption must be greater than boiling seawater."

"is it?"

Elder Lanhu looked at Du Ge with a dazed expression, feeling a little better.

"Yes, if that's the case, then we can produce salt cheaper than theirs."

……

"quiet."

The hustle and bustle of the hall finally quieted down in the case of the queen's seal. The queen smiled and trembled with some unconcealable excitement and said:

"Everyone, now that we have the method of making salt, we should discuss how to produce it."

There was not even a voting stage, and the queen went directly to the next step.As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Du Ge, the person who proposed salt production.Du Ge understood, picked up a parchment scroll and walked in front of everyone, unfolded it and hung it up, with a simple design drawing of a salt factory drawn on it.

"I've already figured out a complete production process. We don't need to boil it. We just need to bask in the seawater on a large area and use the sun to evaporate the seawater. Let me tell you about it..." Duge has completely given me the initiative, Standing in the center of the hall, explaining the construction of the factory. "...to sum up, we need to build salt production plants near the sea."

After Duge's explanation was over, someone immediately refuted it.

"I don't agree! Such an important salt factory should be built next to the tribe and be well protected! Don't let foreigners have any chance to peep!"

The words of the elder immediately got the approval of most people.

"Everyone, please look far ahead and build the factory next to the tribe? The transportation of seawater is a very troublesome thing. It will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Transporting so much seawater will naturally attract the attention of other races. When the time comes It is even more troublesome to build a salt-out pond. The investment cost is not as good as buying it from the Lion Clan. It’s better to build a factory by the sea and recover a small tribe to take care of the protection, and we will have inexhaustible salt.”

"Moreover, the method of making salt is simple. I believe it will not be long before other races will discover it. For example, the current cat clan next to the sea, they are not rich, but they have salt-making methods. Everyone, please be careful, salt will definitely be in the end. It is necessary to launch the category of luxury goods and turn them into ordinary household goods.”

Under Duge's explanation, the elders also fell into deep thought.

"I agree!"

The quick-thinking Elder Blue Fox immediately understood the pros and cons and agreed loudly.Very happy that other elders also agreed.

After some discussion, the salt factory was finally located by the sea, and a small tribe of 300 people closely related to the Silver Blood tribe was in charge, and the Silver Blood Society sent [-] tribesmen to stay there for a long time.Because of the importance of the establishment of the salt factory, the elders asked Duge to go to supervise the work in person, but Duge had no choice but to print it.

The final result is that this time the Silver Blood Tribe will send an army of 300 people and 20 craftsmen.Under the leadership of the legion leader Wei Ya, go to the seaside and build a salt factory.

When everything was over, the Queen suddenly patted the table, and waited for the hall to quiet down.Queen Melissa said solemnly:
"The matter of the salt factory is over. Next, I raise an important topic."

Pausing for a moment, looking around at all the elders, the queen said slowly:

"Whether the last farming research or the discovery of salt production changed the entire tribe, Duge will definitely be recorded in the history of the Fox clan. This achievement cannot be buried. Now I announce the formal proposal: Feng Duge is the first 21 elders."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and a needle could be heard, and everyone stared at the queen with wide eyes.Duge was no exception, and he was a little surprised that the Queen would suddenly make this proposal.

After a brief silence, the scene exploded again.

"No! No, how can a man become an elder?!" "It's a major issue of the tribe, how can a man let a man participate?"... "I think Du Ge is worthy of this elder, and he should be rewarded for his contribution. "I also think, otherwise, how can anyone be willing to contribute to the tribe in the future?"...

Du Ge didn't speak, but just looked at the noisy hall and the quarreling elders. The position of elder that the Queen suddenly proposed was somewhat beyond his expectation.
