The Human Emperor Chapter 711: Achievement of conquest (2) [Second more]
Chapter 710
"What is this?"
"What does Wushang People want to do?"
Everyone was surprised, this battle was a trivial one, and it felt a little disturbing. Wouldn't it be to stop them and keep them away?
Only Wang Chong laughs without saying a word.
"Sure enough!"
Wang Chong looks indifferent, it seems that this scene has already been anticipated.
"Patriarch, greetings."
Wang Chong moved in his heart and did not wait for Wushang Village Chief to lead the crowd, turned his head and turned, and greeted him.
"Lord Marquis, I'm sorry, senile old man has been delayed. Last night, Lord Marquis ignored the plea and take action rescued him. Daen, Dade, Jing Wen and the villagers remembered it, and they have no memory."
The old man with white hair looks said resolutely.
"Patriarch, you're welcome. It's just a hand."
Wang Chong waved his hand and didn't care. Those medicines were meant for them.
"Brother, thank you for saving me grandfather.
Aside, there was a glutinous voice, and the little girl Fang Xiaoyan also looked up and said sincerely.
Seeing this girl's sincere face, remembering her twenty-five years later, she was savage, wayward, and unreasonable. Wang Chong almost laughed out of her heart.
"You're welcome, it's a trivial matter."
Wang Chong touched her head.
With the involvement of the little girl, the atmosphere on both sides suddenly eased a lot.
"Lord Marquis, thank you very much. Yesterday was our rudeness. In any case, please Lord Marquis stay in our Wushang Village for a few more days and stay in a period of time, so that we can do our best to express our gratitude. "
The old man with white hair said.
A lot of things have to wait for a long time before they can be detected. Last night, despite the help of Wang Chong's, eight Wushang Village villagers had seizures in advance. They did not wait for the Wang Chong's "antidote" and died on the night of lunar eclipse.
The symptoms before death are exactly the same as others.
But just thinking about the family of four or five thousand people last night, which broke out on the night of the lunar eclipse, everyone was afraid. Had it not been for Wang Chong, it would have been unimaginable last night.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Chong is a benefactor of Wushang Village. This kind of gratitude is far from enough.
Think about the indifference, harshness, and inhumanity towards Wang Chong and Li Siye during the day. Even the Village Chief of Wushang Village can't help but feel ashamed.
"hē hē, the patriarch's intentions are led by us, so we don't have to worry about them. We still have some things, so we will leave for the time being."
Unexpectedly, Wang Chong waved his hand, but turned it down.
This answer is obviously beyond the expectations of Wushang Village Village Chief and a group of elders. The expression of everyone was stagnant, and they were speechless.
"This ..., Lord Marquis, I don't want to hide it, senile old man is actually asking for something. Lord Marquis last night's pill medicine is very important to us. I wonder if there is Lord Marquis? In addition, Lord Marquis mentioned rock salt yesterday Don't know what it means? "
Wushang Village Village Chief looked embarrassed. Although a little embarrassed, he still said it.
"It's true, I only have one hundred pill medicines, and all already was used last night. As for rock salt ..."
Wang Chong said and laughed, looking towards the elders Wushang Village across the street, don't have deep meaning in his eyes:
"Wushang Village is separated from the outside world and has neither trade nor communication. Although other things can be cultivated on their own and grain can also be replaced by kudzu, no matter how they are replaced, three meals a day cannot be separated from salt. I don't know This, how is Wushang Village solved? "
"This ..."
Wushang Village Village Chief suddenly hesitated, speechless.
This young Great Tang Empire Young Marquis is far more perceptive than he imagined. This mountainous area is full of rocks and is not suitable for growing grain.
So Wushang Village people eat things like gevine, huangjing, etc. This also makes them naturally more powerful and stronger than ordinary people.
But there is only one thing that they can't solve by ordinary methods, which is what Wang Chong calls salt.
So the salt that Wushang Village people eat is not the same as ordinary people. It is not sea salt, but rock salt, which is simply the salt on land cliff.
That rock salt was found on the ancestor of Wushang People. Wushang Village generation after generation, eat all the salt there.
"hē hē, the patriarch is unwilling to say that he is afraid that Royal Court knows that it is publicly owned, and controls it?"
Wang Chong smiled and saw Wushang Village Village Chief's scruples at a glance.
In the dynasties, salt and iron have always been under the control of Royal Court. Iron does not refer to ordinary "iron", but refers to the coinage, and no dynasty would let the folk leave money at will.
Because that would cause currency chaos.
As for salt, as Wang Chong said, it is inseparable for three meals a day. Royal Court initially did this, just to prevent someone from profiting from it, causing the salt price to rise so that people could not afford salt, and even civil riots.
This has happened before.
Of course, it was later discovered that there was a huge profit in salt sales, which was later.
Wang Chong Although it is not known when the Wushang Village people entered this mountain valley, even in the Eastern Han Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, salt and iron were nationalized and controlled by Royal Court.
Wushang Village people should understand this even if they have little communication with the outside world. Obviously, they are also afraid that the rock salt mine in their possession will be found and controlled by Royal Court.
"hē hē, Blessings are fortunes, Blessings are fortunes, I do n’t know if the patriarch has heard this sentence? Wushang Village generation after generation, from the age of 3 years old, he has dark diseases and pain is unbearable. ... and the older I get, the more frequent the attacks and the worse the pain, I do n’t know if the elders have thought about it, why is it all? "
The breeze is coming, Wang Chong's robe is flicking gently in the rising sun. Looking at the patriarch Wushang Village and the elders on the opposite side, Wang Chong seems to laugh and not smile, if there is deep meaning.
Wushang Village's secret is unknown to others, but as Commander-in-Chief of Wushang Heavy Cavalry, Wang Chong knows it clearly. Wushang People is accompanied by severe pain throughout his life, dark skin, convulsions throughout the body, and pain is intolerable.
And when the cloudy air is the best, especially the night of lunar eclipse, it will be severe. This has not changed at all even after they were recruited by Wang Chong.
Later, Wang Chong recruited all the world's most outstanding pharmacists, Martial Path Powerhouse, including all famous foreign doctors such as U-Tsang, Mengshe Polity, Turkic, Goguryeo. It took eight years and repeated debugging to finally develop a kind of pill medicine, to solve this lifelong pain associated with Wushang People.
—— The kind of pill medicine swallowed by Wang Chong!
This is also the real reason why Wang Chong came to Wushang Village this time with confidence and able to subdue them.
But the only problem is that this kind of pill medicine is difficult to refine. In a hurry, about Wang Chong has been refined about one hundred, already is all used in this lunar eclipse night crisis.
The Wushang Village clan jumped in his heart, and that weird feeling floated again. The young man in front of him is at most 16 or 7 years old, his grandchildren.
But for some reason, he couldn't see through the boy. For the first time, on an youngster body, Wushang Village Village Chief felt an unfathomable taste.
And what he couldn't understand most was how did he know about rock salt?
This young man seems to be covered with layers of clouds, so people can't see through.
"Lord Marquis means ...?"
Wushang Village Village Chief frowned and thoughtfully on his face.
"hē hē, patriarch, some salt can be eaten, some salt can't be eaten, not all salt in the world can be eaten casually. At least, not like Wushang Village."
Wang Chong indifferently said.
Rock salt is actually toxic. It contains many ingredients, most of which have some toxic substances, which must be specially treated and filtered.
Not only rock salt but also sea salt, all require special treatment. And if the consumption of industrial salt, even directly causes Death.
—— For Wang Chong, which has another world memory, all this is common sense. But for the people of Wushang Village, they obviously don't know yet.
Wushang People has eaten that toxic rock salt since childhood, that toxic substance has accumulated over time, and constantly enters them, so when the age of three, this toxicity began to show.
The most obvious thing is that the three-year-old started to twitch and felt pain. Later, the toxicity continued to increase and penetrated into flesh, hair, skin, bones and bone marrow. Therefore, although Wushang Village Expert is like a cloud, not many people have lived over 50 years old.
And there are even fewer people living to 70~80 years old. The entire Wushang Village, with a population of 50,000 to 60,000, is only the twenty or thirty old man.
If you encounter a lunar eclipse, like last night, Wushang People will be seriously injured.
—— This is the Achilles heel of Wushang People, and the price behind Wushang People's powerful power!
"Lord Marquis means, is it all caused by our consumption of rock salt?"
Wushang Village Village Chief.
"hē hē, stop eating rock salt in the village, this is my opinion to the patriarch and elder every(one), for the Wushang Village, and for all the villagers. Of course, believe it or not is the patriarch and the elder every(one)."
Wang Chong said.
His face is calm, his face is clouds are thin, wind is soft. Some things are too late. If it is too obvious, it will make the other person disgusted.
So, although Wang Chong wants to help Wushang Village and the villagers, it can only be done in this way, and in the future, it will only be a supplement.
"wēng!"
Wang Chong As soon as the words came down, the chiefs of the Wushang Village and the elders looked at each other. There have been many statements about why people in the village get the disease, including being cursed, genetic, environmental factors, and so on.
But no one expected that Wang Chong would say that all of this is related to the most inconspicuous and most common rock salt that they eat daily.
This is like saying that the reason a person bleeds is because he took a bite of air.
But on the other hand, Wang Chong has no reason to deceive them. This is meaningless, and as the counterpart Marquis Wang, it is too unconventional to do so.
