Tie Lin led 3,000 troops into Sun City, and no one objected. Many people in the Sun City area had fled, and there were not many left.
Tielin's team spent most of their time cooking salt. At least they were earning some income, right? They couldn't just eat it for free. Fortunately, the salt mountain in Sun City was quite good, and the ore contained a good amount of salt.
As for food, they could ship it to Poseidon City by sea, and then transfer it to Sun City. In winter, there were icy vehicles connecting Poseidon City and Sun City, so it wasn't far, just a few days' journey.
This year, Poseidon City and Sun City had little food harvest, so they could only rely on Haifan City for aid. Fortunately, Haifan City's grain production was quite high, so it didn't matter if they had to support Sun City. After all, Sun City could still make salt, so it wasn't a waste.
Many cultivators from the Meteorite Tribe have gone out to search for copper mines. It depends on luck when they can find them. The Sun City area is so large, and it will take time.
At least he has to grow something. Tielin doesn't want to be lonely. He is the leader of the Sun City branch, but it's embarrassing to always rely on the headquarters for food relief.
Sun City was once a prestigious area, so it couldn't have been anything but a good place. However, history has proven that this place yields very little per acre. Furthermore, the climate has cooled in recent years, with frequent torrential rains. Otherwise, the Tianshui Tribe wouldn't have fled, right?
There are three thousand troops stationed here, and they are wasting three thousand livestock just to boil salt. How shameful is that?
"Chief Yun."
"Chief Tielin, the Hai tribe and I are old friends." The leader of the Yun tribe came. This guy had rented a city in Qibai City with his tribe for a long time.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Tielin came later and did not know the leader of the Yun tribe.
"How about trading radish for salt?" Chief Yun was also straightforward.
"Can radishes be grown in Niupi City?" Tielin must of course understand the surrounding forces. The big tribes have all run away, and the Yun tribe has gathered some small tribes and occupied Niupi City.
"Yes, the climate in the Great Forest hasn't had a big impact, and the radish yield in the autumn harvest is pretty good."
This area is roughly divided into three parts: the Great Prairie, Sun City, and the Great Forest. Due to continuous torrential rain, the crops in the Great Prairie and Sun City were almost completely destroyed. Unexpectedly, the harvest in Niupi City in the Great Forest was quite good.
It's hard to say what the climate is like. The Sea Tribe seems to have neglected the Great Forest. Of course, the arable land near Niupi City is also very limited.
"Of course I have no objection." Being able to exchange for radishes nearby saves a lot of sea transportation.
That’s not bad. I can exchange a lot of radishes for them and make salted dried radishes. That’s profitable.
"Chief Tielin, I'm from the Feilu tribe... I'm an old friend of the Hai tribe." The Feilu tribe also came.
"Exchange salt?" Tie Lin asked.
"Yeah, we have sheep, so what?"
"Okay!" Of course it's good to be able to exchange for sheep nearby. It provides food, and we can also have sheepskins to keep warm. It also saves the sea tribe's limited transportation capacity.
The Flying Donkey Tribe left satisfied, and the Aries Tribe arrived.
"...The Sea Tribe and I are old friends."
"What are you changing for?"
"Potato." The Aries Tribe had once been in Seven Hundred City, indeed they were old friends of the Sea Tribe. Where had they been recently? The Aries Tribe had gone to the seaport where the Purple Tribe had once boiled salt.
It is too difficult to make salt in that place. The nearby wood has been over-cut and gone. How can we make salt then?
It's okay, that place is suitable for growing two crops of potatoes, and the harvest is still abundant. The Purple Tribe was lucky to survive because they planted two crops of potatoes.
Taking advantage of the winter, they came to Sun City to exchange salt for snowmobiles. Yes, the Aries Tribe returned satisfied.
"Chief, the salt is gone!" Huo Yun, an instructor who came with the army, reminded.
We've exchanged three batches of supplies, which is a lot compared to the Sun City garrison of only 3,000 people. What about the salt?
"It doesn't matter. There is no rain in winter. We can just increase salt production," said Tielin.
"Do you want to hire someone?" Huo Yun asked immediately.
"Of course, the salt mountain is so big, so we just need to add a few more mining sites." Tielin is still confident in this. He knows which part of the salt mountain has more salt mines and is easier to mine.
"I see." Huo Yun had no objection. "We need more firewood, and we really need a lot of manpower."
"As long as we have enough salt, they will probably be willing to exchange it. If we can be self-sufficient, it will save the headquarters a lot of transportation capacity." Tie Lin said.
There is no coal here, so we can only burn firewood...
"Great chief, it seems that the Sea God City used to exchange salt for coal. If we do the same... the fire power of coal is much stronger than that of wood." Huo Yun suggested. Coal, although it is far away in the big forest, there will always be some.
"That's true. There are still many tribes and people in the Great Forest. If Poseidon City can do it, then Sun City can certainly do it too." Tielin nodded. "Let's increase the production of the salt mountain first."
"Hetu, take people and spread the word. We in Sun City will also exchange salt for coal."
He Tu was also brought to Sun City by Tie Lin. He can't be alone, right?
"I'll go right away!" He Tu had a rare opportunity to gain experience, so he was very enthusiastic.
"Huo Yun, come on, I'll take you to identify the new salt mines and increase the mining efforts." Tie Lin has been in Sun City for quite a while, so of course he needs to observe this most important salt mountain more, as he will gain something from it.
Huo Yun also felt that he had a heavy responsibility. Among the instructors, he was almost the first one to be close to the position of leader of the civilian branch. This trip to Sun City was the best training opportunity.
