Great Wei Nengchen

"Haha, I found it. This is the place. God helped me!"

Gossip less, the book back to the main story, Xiao Yi led the team all the way to the north, galloped for more than forty miles, and finally found a valley, and there were two large characters at the mouth of the valley - Yangu!

It turns out that well salt is spread all over Bashu, and there are thousands of boreholes, and there are some in Bazhong area. Although the quality is not the best, it is superior in that the buried layer is relatively shallow, easy to mine, and the output is huge!

The 'Trichogramma' infiltrated various places in Bashu, collecting military and political information, and also investigated the terrain, customs, and mineral deposits... After the comprehensive summary, it was sent back to Cao Ying for decision-making by the high-level officials!

Xiao Yi had read the information in detail, including those in the Bazhong area, and searched for it based on his memory. He found this Salt Valley, and he couldn't help laughing happily.

"What is Master looking for for Yanjing? We looted a lot of things along the way, and there is no shortage of salt in the team?"

"I don't know, it probably has another magical effect!"

Sun Shao, Jiang Wei and the others were very puzzled. Now that the situation is critical and it is at a critical moment, what is the master doing to find Yanjing instead of sitting in the camp and organizing his troops properly?

Could it be that these well salts are to be used to kill the enemy army alive?

Salt Valley is in the shape of a bottle, with a small mouth and a big belly. It is more than ten miles deep from north to south and two or three miles wide from east to west. It is surrounded by mountains and dense forests on three sides. There is only one entrance and exit on the south side. Two carriages are driving side by side, and the traces of the ruts are even more clearly visible!

There are many wooden houses in the valley, and dozens of salt wells. The wells are only the size of buckets, but they are so deep that they cannot be seen at a glance. Pulleys, iron pots, charcoal, troughs, water tanks... You can see them everywhere, but you can’t see a single one. silhouette!

It can be imagined that there are usually a lot of people in the salt valley, and they refine the well salt day and night in exchange for massive wealth. Now affected by the war, the craftsmen have all scattered and fled. I don’t know when they will resume production?

"Look around and be alert!"

"promise!"

"No one, no one... I found good things here, and there are quite a few of them, haha!"

When entering the valley just now, he heard some faint noises, so Xiao Yi ordered his subordinates to keep their swords in their hands and be careful, for fear that there might be remaining enemy soldiers or beasts hidden in the valley!

As a result, after a search, there was no one person or a beast, but several large warehouses were found, which were filled with bittern salt, probably thousands of bags!

Bitter salt is extracted from brine and cannot be eaten directly. The value is not great but the quantity is huge. Therefore, when the craftsmen fled, they did not take these semi-finished products with them. These are exactly what Xiao Yi needs, and they are also an important part of the plan!

"Very good, all the bittern salt in the valley will be transported back to the camp, and piled up on the bank of Bashui, and sent to guard day and night, so that there must be no mistakes!

From among the refugees, select artisans who can make salt, take over the work in the salt valley, and extract brine and brine for me day and night. The more the better, the same will be sent to the shore of Bashui! "

"promise!"

Xiao Yi inspected and nodded in satisfaction. There are quite a lot of stocks in the valley, and all kinds of tools are also complete. They can restart work at any time, and manpower is not a problem.

Five to six million refugees came from various places in Bashu and all walks of life. Among them, there are many salt-making artisans. Thousands of people were selected from them, and they worked in two shifts day and night. In three or four days, they could still make a lot of brine, brine Although it cannot be eaten, it has other magical effects!

However, during the inspection process, Xiao Yi discovered that there was a strange footprint on the ground in Yangu, which was as big as the bottom of a bowl and shaped like a plum blossom. It was not left by jackals, tigers, leopards, roe deer, and apes. Beast!

There are still a few piles of feces on the ground, the heat has not completely dissipated, it is mixed with bamboo fibers, and there are some shed hairs, which are black and white...

"Plop! -- is there something wrong?"

"Whoever is inside, come out quickly, or you will shoot your bow!"

……

While observing, suddenly there was a strange sound of thud, thud, from a small wooden hut next to it, and the guards rushed over, some with horizontal knives in front, firmly protecting Xiao Yi, Xiao Feng and his son, some He bent his bow and set an arrow, aiming at the door of the wooden house.

After a few inquiries, no one in the wooden house responded, and the noise became louder and louder, and then a big wooden basin came out bouncing... What's going on? Could it be that the wooden basin has become a spirit?

When people didn't know what was going on, the big wooden basin suddenly turned over, and a small animal was exposed inside. It was fat, with a round head and short tail. Licking hard, what is this?

"It's an iron-eating beast, be careful everyone, back away quickly!"

"This beast is very powerful, shoot it to death with an arrow!"

……

"Don't let the arrows go, I will get the sky, a national treasure!"

After seeing the little beast, the guards backed away in panic, and at the same time aimed at the vital point with clusters of arrows, and were about to shoot it with random arrows, but Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to stop it.

My dear, I have been a human being in two lifetimes, and this is the first time I have watched such a cute animal so closely!

When I went to the zoo in my previous life, I always gritted my back molars to save the cost of meals and waited in long lines to buy tickets. I took a few glances through the thick glass windows, and then I was squeezed out by the crowd behind me. I didn’t even have a chance to take a group photo. None!

What iron-eating beasts, what rolling, this is our national treasure - the giant panda, the idol that countless people in later generations are crazy about, and also China's "diplomatic ambassador". Planting bamboo, trying to accompany the smiling face... still please such a big baby!

There is also a saying in later generations that if tourists accidentally fall into the lion and tiger mountain, the guards will raise their guns and shoot, killing the tiger to save people. After all, human life is at stake!

If tourists fall into the panda house, the guards will also shoot with their guns, but they kill the bears and use silent pistols, so as not to scare the national treasure to sleep. After all, China has a population of more than one billion, but there are only a thousand pandas. When rare is precious, human life is nothing.

Although this is a joke, it can also reflect the status of pandas in the hearts of Chinese people. As for the pandas appearing in the salt valley, the reason is not difficult to guess!

Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain stretch across thousands of miles, with a mild and rainy climate. There are a large number of bamboo forests and many pandas inhabit them. They mainly eat bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots, and also eat some wild flowers, vines, weeds, honey, and meat. Salt is needed!

Therefore, pandas will occasionally go down the mountain, rush into the homes of ordinary people, steal chickens, ducks, and geese, and lick iron pans with their tongues, because ordinary people use iron pans to cook, and there will be some salt left in them, which is exactly what pandas eat. What we need, the ancients didn't know the reason, but thought that pandas eat iron, so they called it "iron-eating beast!" '

Presumably, after the craftsmen fled, no one was guarding the salt valley, and the panda group took the opportunity to go out of the mountains and come here to lick the bittern salt.

When Xiao Yi and others entered the valley just now, the panda group was frightened and fled back to the deep mountains. Only this little guy was left behind.

"You all back up, don't scare it, little baby, little cutie, little ancestor, come home with me and live a good life, haha!"

"Wow! -Wow!"

"My lord, be careful, the iron-eating beast is very powerful!"

"Don't worry, it's alright!"

There are cat slaves and dog slaves in later generations, and Xiao Yi is an out-and-out bear slave. The first time he saw a red panda, he couldn't extricate himself deeply, and then launched a plan to abduct underage bears!

Seeing a stranger approaching, the little panda became vigilant, squatted in the tub, waved its two little paws back and forth, and roared, as if I am fierce and don’t mess with me, although it’s nothing The deterrent power and cute killing power are superb!

The giant panda is ready to be called a "cat bear". Despite its naive, stupid and cute appearance, it is actually a real beast with well-developed canine teeth, sharp claws, and great strength!

An adult giant panda can weigh more than two hundred catties, and can easily defeat a leopard, or four or five wild wolves. There are few natural enemies in the wild. Who would have imagined that such a powerful beast will go away in the future? On the road of being cute!

"Wow! -Wow!"

"Whoosh! -- come here, little darling!"

Xiao Yi approached step by step, and stretched out a hand to tease. When the little panda was biting, he flipped his wrist like lightning, grabbed the back of its neck, and slipped into his arms!

Even though the little guy is not big, he is chubby all over, and weighs more than 20 kilograms, and he is full of wildness. He barks his teeth and claws in his arms, and looks like he refuses to give in.

Xiao Yi had already figured out how to do this. A piece of dried bacon was stuffed in, and the little guy stopped struggling immediately. After eating two or three bites, he stared at two big dark circles and let out a groaning sound, with a flattering appearance!
