Chapter 177 Reaching the Salt Lake
Mu was also very happy about the news that he would be able to return to Chen State soon. Since he came out of Chen State, Mu has suffered a lot of crimes. The most important thing is that he also wants his wife and children in Chen State.
"Yes, King Ping!" Mu said excitedly.
"Okay, go back, today's incident was a false alarm."
The way to open the road is really inseparable from wood. If you encounter some sudden incidents, you still have to deal with it.
When they met a wolf pack, they were just nervous for nothing. Not only did they have no impact on the morale of the tribe, but they seemed to be even higher! On the second day after they met the wolf pack, they took a much more path than in the past few days.
On the evening of the second day, when Mu and Chen Dong reported their workload for a day, Chen Dong met the people from Chen State who were guarding the Salt Lake.
It took Chen Dong half a month to come out, and it was not too long. When the man saw Chen Dong, he burst into tears, as if he had been away for a long time, which made Chen Dong a little embarrassed.
After persuading for a long time, he finally stopped, "What's wrong with Chen State? Is there nothing wrong with it?"
"No, there are a lot more grains grown by clams than last year. The grains harvested this fall should be able to be eaten by our Chen Kingdom for many years." This person not only reported to Chen Dong about the news of clams planting grains, but also news that Bei and others tamed wild animals.
In short, after Chen Dong left for half a month, not only did nothing happen to Chen Guo, but instead developed very well.
This was originally good news, but Chen Dong was a little disappointed when he heard it. He seemed to feel abandoned. If Chen Guo, the King of Ping, could still develop well without him, then he would have lost the meaning of his existence.
The man from Chen State looked like an elm-headed person, but he also saw that Chen Dong was a little unhappy, "Pingwang, what's wrong with you? Is this news not good? Why do you seem a little unhappy?"
But this question is too straightforward, Chen Dong was quite embarrassed. It was originally good news. How could Chen Dong explain his unhappiness? Could it be that he should explain the reason for his unhappiness to this person?
Chen Dong immediately had a smile on his face and said, "How can you be unhappy? I'm very happy. Can't you tell me?"
"Okay, it's still late today. It's not safe to go back to the Salt Lake. Just stay here to rest. By the way, there are no other people who break into the Salt Lake, right?"
After asking for more than a day, Chen Dong didn't ask about the salt lake. It was because of the salt lake that Chen Dong looked for the intruders and arrived here. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have found that this was such a large gathering place for tribes, and there wouldn't be so many tribes in the Chen State.
"No, after receiving the order from King Ping, my subordinates have been stationed near the Salt Lake. I have not seen anyone. Occasionally, some wild beasts come. These wild beasts do not threaten their subordinates, and their subordinates do not disturb them. They wandered around and left."
At this time, as long as there is no problem with the salt lake, there will be no serious threat to Chen State.
"That's good. Those beasts must not be able to leave salt, but the salt in the salt lake cannot be eaten directly. At most, the beasts will just go around for a while and leave."
Early the next morning, this man from Chen State hurried back to the Salt Lake, while Chen Dong continued to walk forward with the relocated large troops. It took him a few days to reach the Salt Lake.
Although not everyone in the tribe has eaten salt, it is because they have never eaten salt that they have a stronger yearning for salt, so the morale is naturally extremely high.
I believe many of these tribes who were willing to follow Chen Dong to migrate for the salt owned by Chen State.
However, these primitive people were quite simple. The Dragon Tribe had already discovered the salt lake. If the Dragon Tribe and other tribes united to seize this salt lake, even if Chen Dong's Chen family army was strong, it would take some effort to solve it.
In the afternoon of the second day, Lei Te had already stepped onto the salt lake. Looking at the white salt like a mountain, everyone was shocked.
"King Ping, how long can you eat so much salt?"
"No matter how much you have, it won't fill your stomach. If you have food now, you will feel that this thing is precious. Once you have no prey, you will be happy to change it." Chen Dong said.
"Let's stop here today. Just set up camp here. I will let the people of Chen State mine some for each of your tribes. When you move further away, you can take them with you. When will the tribe finish eating? Report to me and go directly to pick them here. But this salt cannot be covered. You can bring some of your tribes for a year. It's enough."
In the future, salt and iron were not allowed to be mined privately. One of the reasons why Chen Dong could master these tribes was that he relied on salt, so he naturally could not allocate the right to mine salt to those tribes.
If the people from these tribes learn all the skills in Chen Dong's hands, once they become rebellious, it will be too late for Chen Dong to regret it even if he regrets it.
The chiefs of these tribes didn't think so much. Anyway, as long as Chen Dong could give them some salt, it would be great. As for other thoughts, they really didn't have them.
Because the people from Chen State are stationed here continuously, it is relatively safe. Although some wild animals will come to visit, there will basically be no danger. There are also organs on the mountains near the salt lake, and large-scale wild beast attacks are not possible at all.
"It's safer to get to the Salt Lake, and there's no need to arrange so many posts. Just arrange some mobile posts. You have to tell everyone in your tribe not to leave the scope of activity I stipulate. There are traps around here. These things are designed for wild beasts in the forest. Once a person falls, his life will definitely be finished."
After arriving at the Salt Lake, Chen Dong called these tribe chiefs again. Only by controlling all these tribe chiefs can the tribe chiefs be within Chen Dong's control.
"Traps? Mechanism? What are these?"
Chen Dong is the only one who can set up such things. These primitive humans will not talk about setting them up, but they have never heard of them.
"After putting this thing on, if a wild beast comes to your door, you will easily get prey. Many wild beasts kept in my country of Chen come like this. Otherwise, if you rely solely on manpower to catch them in the forest, how can you bring the alive prey back?"
After Chen Dong explained for a long time, the tribe chiefs became a little curious. If these things existed, would King Ping not have entered their tribe so easily?
Chen Dong also disdains to know the ideas of these people.
"I will help you design these institutions after you move to your new sites. But you don't have any idea about the institutions here in Salt Lake. Think about it, what would happen if the mechanism that can trap wild boars fall, especially to remind the children of your tribe not to run around.
