I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

The moment they knelt down, Luo Shixing's eyes widened in shock.

Doesn't it mean that most people don't want him, a foreigner, to be a priest?Why are you kneeling so happily.

For a moment, he couldn't help the conspiracy theory, wondering if these people wanted to set him on fire.

But in fact, these ordinary people really knelt down sincerely. They didn't understand the game of the upper class, and they also wondered why Vulcan chose a foreigner as their priest.

But now the priests are not the same as them in appearance, and they are dressed like the high priests. In addition, the elders wanted to take advantage of the awakening of the Vulcan to re-elect a priest, but after the fire pond remained silent, they did not accept this priest. It's useless, maybe it will attract the anger of Vulcan, so it's better to admit it.

Both sides of Luo Shixing's walk were full of people kneeling all the way, and many people had already walked out of the house and began to kneel before he even got there.

It can be said that his appearance alarmed everyone in the county, and Alezhen had already received the news, so he hurried over with people.

When he saw that apart from Luo Shixing, even Cheng Jingwei and Wang Antong were dressed similarly to the locals, the smiles on their faces became more sincere, and he quickly walked over to Luo Shixing and said, "My lord, you can send someone to find you if you have something to do." I don't have to go there myself."

Luo Shixing was also paralyzed, he didn't expect such a big commotion, and he kept putting on airs all the way here, for fear of being picked on if he didn't do well.

Seeing Alezhen at this time, he was also relieved, and quickly said in a low voice: "Let's go to the county government first."

Hurry up and hide first, being the focus of the crowd is not something that anyone can bear, he can't bear it anyway.

And not only him, but even Wang Antong looked like he was about to explode. If Cheng Jingwei hadn't been in charge, Wang Gouzi would have squatted on the ground and grinned.

Soon Luo Shixing discovered that even if Ale really came, he could only lead him along the way, and the attention gift that he should enjoy was indispensable!

Even when he was approaching the county government, there were a few old people who saluted him, not kneeling down, but similar to what Ale really did just now, and his status was relatively high at first glance, and they should be those who really didn't get along with Ale elders.

Although the elders really didn't deal with Ale, they still maintained basic respect for Luo Shixing, a priest.

Among other things, the image of Luo Shixing still fits their imagination of gods and their apostles, and according to the legend handed down from their ancestors, the priests selected by the god of fire every time are the best-looking ones in the whole clan.

So it's not that the elders didn't wonder if it was because this foreigner was good-looking that he was chosen by Vulcan.

Since there is only such a chosen person now, they have no choice but to admit it.

Luo Shixing smiled reservedly at the elders and didn't say much - Ale really didn't give them any time to talk.

Alzhen was very rude and said: "The high priest asked me to discuss something, everyone go back."

As soon as Alezhen's words came out, Luo Shixing clearly saw that the expressions of the three elders became unhappy, and even the children and grandchildren behind them looked unhappy.

However, no one could disobey the patriarch in front of the high priest, so the elders let him go after exchanging greetings with a half-smile, and Luo Shixing was taken all the way to the county government office by Alezhen.

After entering the county government office, Wei Siwen also got the news and came over and looked at Luo Shixing in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"

Luo Shixing sat next to Alezhen expressionlessly and said, "I found out too, so I shouldn't have come here."

How did he know that there would be such a big commotion when he came here?If I had known earlier, I would not have come.

Ale really smiled and said: "It's good for you to come out and meet everyone, otherwise I'm afraid someone will suspect that I murdered the high priest."

Ever since the high priest appeared at the ceremony and was recognized, Luo Shixing never appeared in the sight of everyone again.

Because he was brought by Alezhen, and he fought secretly with the elders for several rounds around the identity of the priest. People with a little knowledge are wondering whether the new high priest was taken by the patriarch. Captivity and even assassination.

There has not been a high priest in a hundred years. One can imagine the importance of this high priest, and he was brought by the patriarch, so it is normal for him to be controlled by the patriarch.

In particular, it was rumored that the high priest lived in the mountain, but the patriarch didn't let anyone approach there, claiming that he didn't want to disturb the high priest's Qingxiu.

Because of this, Luo Shixing's sudden appearance made many people curious, otherwise why would they come to watch him.

After Luo Shixing knew the cause and effect, he really couldn't laugh or cry. It was his own request not to let people get close, and he didn't want to be disturbed by others, but he didn't expect the rumors to be so outrageous.

Alezhen asked someone to bring him honey water, "What are you doing all the way here? Isn't it to add a name to the salt well?"

It's not surprising that he thought of this, Luo Shixing's attitude that day was so firm that he couldn't even forget it.

Luo Shixing said: "There are several things. Adding a name is one aspect, applying for Wang Antong's household registration is another aspect, and another is wanting to buy something. I don't have any money now but I can owe it first."

This time, Luo Shixing didn't forget that he had a salt well, but the problem was that it took time to sell the salt from the well. It was bound to be delivered from Alezhen to him, so he had to sort out the accounts, and then he would make a special sale of the salt. his accounts.

After Alezhen heard it, he said immediately: "It's just in time for you to come. If you don't come, I will go to find you. Let's go, make a delivery, and I will take you to meet someone by the way."

Luo Shixing asked, "Recognize someone? Who do you recognize?"

Could it be those elders?He wasn't ready to deal with those people.

Alzhen said: "The people on the salt well have also sent you off, you have to go and meet them."

He frowned as he spoke: "You should also have someone to help you take care of these things."

As the high priest of their clan, the little lynx will definitely have more and more property. He is really worried about putting all these in the hands of a child.

Luo Shixing was relieved after hearing this: "I'll talk about it later."

He originally wanted to say that Cheng Jingwei would help him, but after thinking about it, he put Cheng Jingwei in the position of a servant, which was not good for him, so he swallowed it back.

Ale really got up and said: "Okay, let's talk about it later, let's first..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Shixing said, "Wait, let's go after finishing the previous two things. Is the salt well far from here?"

Alzhen said: "It's not too far, but it's difficult to come back, I'm afraid I have to live there."

Luo Shixing said: "Then get Wang Antong's household registration first, and then help me add Ah Wei's name to the deed."

Ale really took a look at Cheng Jingwei. After realizing that making a hydraulic bellows was not easy, Ale really didn't understand that Luo Shixing valued Cheng Jingwei.

On the contrary, Wei Siwen was a little helpless, this silly boy, others can't wait to hold all the money in his arms, why does he still give it away?

However, he can't take care of what Luo Shixing has already decided. Strictly speaking, he has nothing to do with others, not to mention that even if he claims to be an elder, Ale really won't let him intervene.

Both of these things are relatively easy to handle. After Wang Antong’s household registration was completed, there was a small bamboo piece, similar to the ID card of later generations, with his name and height characteristics written on it. The method learned from the Tang Dynasty, and a few years later, they don't have such a thing as household registration.

After adding Cheng Jingwei's name to the document and pressing his fingerprints, Luo Shixing happily grabbed Cheng Jingwei's wrist and said, "Go, let's go see our salt well!"

Wei Siwen thought Luo Shixing was stupid, but Alezhen felt that the little lynx was doing the right thing, and Cheng Jingwei knew it wasn't something in the pool at a glance.

Although the two of them are natural allies in Beidai County, are there still few alliances backstabbing each other?

Only interests can connect each other. With this salt well, the two of them are unbreakable.

However, it’s not impossible to figure it out. As long as you do something about it, the two people will get different money. Even if you don’t suspect it because of this incident at the beginning, it will make a gap between them in the long run.

Of course, Ale really wouldn't do this, he just kept his hand. He hoped to be the closest person to the little lynx, but it's not good to have another person around the little lynx.

He is obviously the foster brother of the little lynx, and that person has nothing to do with the little lynx.

Thinking of this, he asked someone to bring a horse. It seemed that riding a horse on mountain roads was the most suitable, and don't think about horse-drawn carts, because some roads are simply impossible for these cars to pass.

When Luo Shixing saw those horses, he couldn't help but laugh.

Although the horses here are not very tall, but... he hasn't grown up yet, he's even shorter!

The most important thing is that he can't ride a horse yet!

Al really brought three horses, and it looked like one for each person, but he really couldn't handle it.

Luo Shixing was a little entangled, so he didn't want to go on the spot, thinking about letting Cheng Jingwei go, he would definitely ride a horse.

Cheng Jingwei knew what he was thinking when he saw the smile on the little lynx's face disappearing, he couldn't help but smiled and stepped forward and said, "Da Ling, I'll take a ride with the lynx cat."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing quickly tugged on his sleeve and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, we can just go together."

Alejan: ...

Originally, he brought three horses because he wanted to ride with the little lynx by himself, then let Cheng Jingwei take Wang Antong with him, and finally Wei Siwen rode a horse by himself.

In the end, Cheng Jingwei took the lead, and it was impossible for him to take Wang Antong, so he coughed lightly and said, "So, is Wei Weng taking Wang Antong?"

Luo Shixing glanced at Wang Antong and said, "Forget it, please Wei Weng stay and watch Wang Antong."

Wang Antong, this dog is dishonest, what if he jumps off when he sees something new on the road, it's really hard for Wei Siwen to take him with him.

As for Alzhen, he is a dignified county magistrate, so it is really inappropriate to ask him to take a wolf boy with no status, even if it is adopted by the high priest, he cannot be equal to the county magistrate.

Wei Siwen was very helpless after hearing this, he still wanted to follow Luo Shixing to watch, what if the little lynx was cheated?

In the end, this silly boy didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all!

Now I just hope that Cheng Jingwei can rely on it!

So Wei Siwen frantically rolled his eyes at Cheng Jingwei, hoping that Cheng Jingwei would understand what he meant.

Fortunately, Cheng Jingwei was very smart, and he knew what the other person meant without Wei Siwen signaling him, so he nodded to Wei Siwen.

After discussing, Cheng Jingwei carried Luo Shixing onto the horse first, and then rode on himself.

Alezhen watched Cheng Jingwei's flowing movements and his tall and straight posture after riding the horse, and couldn't help but praise: "Good skill."

Not to mention other things, it can be seen from this posture that Cheng Jingwei has been trained.

The one who contrasted strongly with him was the little lynx. Since the little lynx got on the horse, it held the rein and looked very nervous and dazed.

Cheng Jingwei put his arms around Luo Shixing and took the rein from his hand to comfort him in a low voice: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Luo Shixing nodded slightly in relief, and Cheng Jingwei then reined in his horse to keep up with Alezhen.

In order to take care of Luo Shixing at the beginning, he didn't even dare to let the horse go too fast. After a while, he felt the little lynx's body slowly relax. After apparently adapting, he let the horse speed up a little.

On the way, Alezhen kept introducing the surrounding scenery and land ownership so as not to let them feel bored.

At this time, Luo Shixing realized that although the things on the mountain are wild, not everyone can pick them. The herbs from each mountain come in turn. This year one will be another next year, and the regions will be divided. Anyone who violates the law will be banned from entering the mountain.

Luo Shixing thought about it for a while, and felt that this was probably to allow the plants to have time to recuperate, and they kept collecting herbs to find food. No matter how rich the species on the mountain were, they might be eaten up.

He was a little curious about the land planning of other counties. The counties here belong to various tribes, and some tribes are bigger and can occupy several counties. Luo Shixing doesn't know much about this place.

After hearing this, Alezhen said, "Well, it's still far away, and I can't reach it today."

Through Alezhen's explanation, Luo Shixing knew that the nearest village on the edge of the county was more than 60 miles away, which was still a straight line distance. In fact, there were many mountains along the way, and it was extremely inconvenient to travel there.

Therefore, there are not many territorial disputes here. The only thing that will cause conflicts among local tribes is the caravan.

Datang will have caravans coming, and they will also have caravans passing by. Sometimes some counties in front will block the coming of Datang caravans, and the caravans sent by the Ouluo tribe may be killed on the way.

Luo Shixing was taken aback when he heard this. He originally thought that the reason for the change of trade was just that the road was inconvenient and the environment was unacceptable, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

So there are many reasons why the tribes he saw on the road of exile were poorer and more backward the closer they were to the south.

It was also the first time for Cheng Jingwei to know these things. At this time, he was more aware of why Ale really valued Wei Siwen, and why he insisted on dragging the little lynx to be sworn brothers.

For Datang, they are exiled prisoners, and for Alezhen, it is Datang going to the countryside to send warmth.

The three of them chatted and watched the scenery all the way, and it didn't seem like the journey was boring. After all, apart from the local knowledge that they didn't know, the scenery here was also very beautiful, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were very attractive to Luo Shixing.

However, as the salt mine gradually approached, the plants began to become less, and even a little bit of sulfur could be smelled faintly.

After entering the mining area, the ground is full of dug large and small salt wells and grass sheds, and shirtless men are constantly transporting brine and salt to and fro.

Ale really turned his head and said to Luo Shixing: "Did you see those sheds? They are all used for frying salt."

Luo Shixing looked around and indeed saw a lot of thatched huts with large stoves cooking something non-stop, and people beside them were adding firewood and others were stirring the brine in the pots. The steaming fog around the huts was very obvious.

The entire area of ​​the salt mine is huge. At a glance, at least nearly a thousand people are working at the same time. The scene is very shocking.

Alezhen introduced the situation of the salt mine to them while walking. Luo Shixing listened carefully. He still knew a little about the production process of well salt, but it was all written in the book. After the text becomes a real scene, it is very impactful.

Luo Shixing was taken all the way to the northernmost edge of the salt mine by Alezhen and said: "I took this area recently, and I plan to open another salt well. This is the newly opened well. Now these are all yours."

Luo Shixing knew at a glance that this place was indeed newly built, but the equipment was complete, and there was also a separate stove for frying salt.

There are not many people, but that is also because there is only one well.

And it wasn't until this time that Luo Shixing realized that although Alzhen said he had given him a salt well, he actually gave him the newly opened area. That is to say, as long as Luo Shixing has the manpower and ability, he can open other wells at any time. The salt well!

Luo Shixing said in a low voice, "This...isn't it good, such a large place."

Alzhen laughed and said, "The hydraulic bellows helped me a lot, there's nothing wrong with it!"

He hasn't told Luo Shixing how much he helped him until now, but Ale is really not a person who will suffer, so thinking about it this way, Luo Shixing feels more at ease.

Anyway, it's a big deal... Let's give Ale some more fun things in the future.

While thinking about it, he was taken by Alezhen to the accounting room belonging to this area. There was only one accountant who was keeping accounts. After seeing Alezhen and Luo Shixing, he saluted in fear.

After Luo Shixing went in, he didn't see any documents in the house. Instead, he saw a wall of knotted ropes. He suddenly had a bad feeling and asked, "Why is there no carving knife and bamboo board? How do you keep accounts? "

The accountant answered his question with some confusion, and Luo Shixing's vision suddenly went dark.

He really didn't expect that such an important place as the salt mine is still counted with knotted ropes!
