Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system
Chapter 36: Salt Tree
"You should be able to build an earthen kiln. The next step is to fire it after drying it. You need to slowly experiment with the firing time." Sheng Changan threw away the stick and clapped his hands. In fact, if it were in modern times, one day would be enough, but it might not be the case here.
"And after it's built, the bricks should be very hard, and ordinary bows and arrows will be completely useless" unless cannons are used, but that's simply impossible in this era.
"It sounds possible," Feng Zhihong thought thoughtfully. He didn't expect that the mud could be used in this way.
"It's too troublesome to transport it back and forth, so let's conduct the experiment here directly. I need enough bricks to build the wall within five months." Sheng Changan became serious. It was uncertain when the Xianbei would arrive, and it was very likely that it would be around winter, so there was no time to delay.
Feng Zhihong also knew the situation here, and the importance of this brick was self-evident: "Sir, I will start now." After that, he led the rest of the people to collect wood to make molds.
When the "Sir" saw that the two of them had almost finished talking, County Magistrate Wu came over.
"County Magistrate Wu, I'm going to go into the mountains. Call Shen Huaizhi, Li Dashan, Du Zhong and bring ten more people. Leave the military training to Li Hui first." Sheng Chang'an frowned. Even if there is miasma, it should be deep inside. As long as they don't go deep, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Yes, I will arrange it right away." He believed that the Lord should have a plan in mind, and with Shen Huaizhi and the other two around, nothing would go wrong.
"Let's set off tomorrow morning." Wu Xiancheng didn't advise her, which made her feel relieved. She hoped that there would be the tree she was looking for inside. "Be careful here. Send a team of people to guard it. If you need more people, you can recruit them."
After thinking about it, it should be about time. The most important thing is that the sky is gradually getting dark, so Sheng Changan has no choice but to go back.
The next morning, several people were already on their way to the mountains. Du Zhong was a little excited. He was originally planning to come here, but was robbed on the way and finally fell into the hands of Sheng Changan.
Sheng Changan looked at Du Zhong in front of him and suddenly smiled, while Du Zhong felt goose bumps all over his body and his face was full of vigilance: "What's the matter?"
"I wonder if Mr. Du has found someone suitable to teach recently?" She was too busy, and the old man just pretended to be stupid to get away with it. She specifically asked people, and she found out that the old man has been hanging around the county a lot recently.
Du Zhong felt a little guilty: "You can't blame me for this. It's your fault that you didn't mention it." As he spoke, he gradually became more confident.
Sheng Changan ignored his sophistry and said, "I'll bring it up now, Mr. Du, please remember our agreement."
Then he said as if jokingly: "If you can't teach me, I can only trouble Mr. Du to stay here for a while longer."
Is it a threat? Is it a threat? She actually threatened him. Du Zhong jumped up and said, "Stop the car, stop the car!" As he walked, he kept saying, "I won't stay with people with bad intentions."
Sheng Changan smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, just keep going"
When they arrived at Li Dashan's house, they rested for another night. One person was left to watch the donkey cart, and the others prepared to walk into the mountains. After all, they would not be able to get out for a while, so they naturally had to make plans for the follow-up.
Shen Huaizhi walked in front, Li Dashan was the rear guard, and Sheng Changan and Du Zhong walked in the middle.
As soon as we walked in, the sky seemed to have become much darker. Tall trees stood tall with dense canopies. There was almost no sunlight here, and occasionally we could see colorful snakes sliding into the grass.
Sheng Changan's face was serious. This place was somewhat like a forest on Blue Star, but it was in the north. The geographical environment of this world was extremely strange.
Eucommia ulmoides seemed extremely excited. He said that there should be quite a few medicinal herbs here, but the ones on the periphery were a bit ordinary, so he could go inside and take a look.
Sheng Changan suddenly stopped. This was the saltwood tree. She had found it so quickly. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Dig two from this tree and transport them out first."
Shen Huaizhi was a little confused. "What is this?"
Before Sheng Changan could answer, Du Zhong touched the bark with his hand and licked it, then his face began to twist and he spit it out.
"The wood salt tree can replace the existence of salt." Sheng Changan sighed helplessly. Is it a common problem for miracle doctors to eat indiscriminately?
"Dig some more seedlings, go back and give them to Zhang Shi to plant." In this way, Guangping County will not be controlled by others because of salt. With time, she will be able to find a salt mine and will no longer need it.
Li Dashan nodded, found some tools on the spot, and prepared to start. Fortunately, he was quite strong, so when he dug enough, he pulled it out with his hands. He quickly found a few people and asked them to transport the seedlings and two large trees. "Give it to Mu Tou, and have him find someone to move them back."
"Let's rest here first and wait for them to come back before going in." Although we have found the wood salt tree, we have already come in, so we naturally have to look around. Maybe we can find more things. "You can ask Mu Mu to tell Wu Xiancheng to send a team of people to meet us outside the mountain."
A few people responded, picked up the tree on the ground and walked out. Their movements were very steady. After all, this was something that could produce salt.
"I'll take a look around here."
Shen Huaizhi followed him. He didn't know what would happen if he left here alone.
Du Zhong's eyes lit up and he said, "I'll go too." Fortunately, there was someone to protect him, otherwise he would not dare to act alone. Although he had good medical skills, he was afraid that he would die before he could save himself when facing these poisonous animals.
"I will lead people to build a rest area here." With Shen Huaizhi here, he can feel more at ease. Besides, people are needed here too. Six people have already left, and he is still worried.
Sheng Changan acquiesced. This division of labor was quite good. If they could find anything else, it would be even better. This location would be very convenient for arranging people to come in and pick them. Her eyes suddenly stopped at Eucommia ulmoides. Judging from his expression, there should be a lot of medicinal herbs here. "Mr. Du, there are quite a lot of medicinal herbs here."
"Indeed there are quite a few, but there are no rare ones, only some common medicinal herbs." Eucommia ulmoides said without turning his head.
"Yeah! There are quite a lot of them, like Panax notoginseng."
Du Zhong turned around and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she knew so much. "You also know these herbs?"
Sheng Changan shook his head slowly. "I didn't know, but now I know."
Du Zhong's face darkened instantly. "What do you want to do now?" He deliberately tested him.
"I want to let some people follow you in to collect herbs after this is over. There is no medicine in the county, and the people have no way to cure their illnesses." Sheng Changan naturally knew how to soften Du Zhong's heart. After hearing what he said, Du Zhong's expression looked much better.
"What's the big deal? If you just say it directly, wouldn't I agree?" He didn't expect that she was so considerate of the people. In that case, of course he would agree.
"Thank you, Mr. Du." Sheng Changan did not refute his words. According to his temper, he would interrupt him before he finished speaking, so he just listened to his words and they were not very practical.
