Lin Yan also became serious, thought for a while and said: "Salt is an essential substance for the human body. Adding a little bit to food can help your health. My opinion is that salt is a necessity, we must buy it, and we must buy it in the future. An indispensable substance.”
Seeing Lin Yan's clear and resolute attitude, Alan asked: "Is salt really that good? We tasted it last night. It tasted very strange. It didn't taste good."
"You eat salt directly, and even a little bit will be very salty and astringent. If you add a little bit when cooking, the taste will not be noticeable. And salt cannot be eaten directly, it is an additive. When the human body is tired and weak, Drinking some light salt water from time to time will help recovery. Long-term consumption will not only make the food taste better, but also be good for the body."
"Is it really that good? I always feel a loss if we have to exchange our good things for salt." Shui Granny whispered.
It wasn't that she doubted Lin Yan's words, but after tasting the salt last night, she felt there was no need to eat that food.
There are many people who have the same attitude as Shui Pozi. After tasting it personally, I really can’t accept it.
Although Alan believed in Lin Yan, he always found it difficult to make a decision.
Bai Yun said directly: "I agree with Lin Yan. If she says we need it, we will buy it."
This is the first time Bai Yun has spoken. She has not spoken since last night. She has always believed in Lin Yan unswervingly.
Judging from what Lin Yan has done over the years, everything is reliable and worthy of belief. Bai Yun felt that it was just right to follow Lin Yan.
Hongying also said: "Lin Yan is right. The two tribes, Qingyan and Yuanye, have always insisted on eating salt, which must be beneficial. I support Lin Yan and buy salt."
Once someone expressed their stance, several more people expressed their support for Lin Yan. But half of the people are hesitant. Just like what Mrs. Shui said, they feel that changing the salt is a waste.
Alan said: "The guests will arrive later. We will make a decision after asking them. Next, let's talk about it. Both the Wilderness Tribe and the Qingyan Tribe want our ships and weapons. What do you think about this?"
"We can't give it." Flame was the first to object. "Both ships and weapons are our sharp weapons. We can't give them to them. If they don't have bad intentions or learn to build ships and weapons by themselves, we will suffer too much loss." .”
Leng Fang continued: "It's not just a loss. With the ship, they can get to Sun City. With the weapons, it will be dangerous if they want to occupy our Sun City."
Yu Cai said worriedly: "Yes, we have just met them, and we don't understand them yet, so we can't give them anything. People's hearts are unpredictable, so we have to be careful."
…
There was a sound of opposition. Lin Yan looked at Bai Yun and Alan who didn't speak. They probably thought the same. This is human nature.
It is understandable that they would be wary of strangers.
After thinking about it, Lin Yan said: "I know you are all worried that they have evil intentions, but if we don't give it to them, won't they be able to do it themselves? I think instead of worrying about this, it is better to improve our strength and always stay ahead of them. That’s what matters most.”
"You said that because you want to sell the ship and weapons to them?" Huo Yan looked at Lin Yan in disbelief. She didn't believe Lin Yan didn't understand such a simple truth.
Under the gaze of pairs of eyes, Lin Yan couldn't nod his head. Although she thought so in her heart, if she admitted it, they would all think she was crazy.
After swallowing, Lin Yan said: "Since everyone doesn't agree, let's forget it. We can also trade hemp oil and flour with them for salt and cotton."
"Sesame oil is good. Every household has it. There's too much to eat. It's just the right thing to replace with something we don't have." Mrs. Shui said immediately.
This time it was unanimously agreed that every household would have enough of what was grown in the ground and would be willing to exchange it for something.
After saying this, Lin Yan mentioned the limestone. She wanted to mine it on site from the cave people, calcine it into quicklime and then transport it back.
Baiyun said: "We have never seen what quicklime looks like and how to forge it. We don't know what the lime you are talking about looks like."
"We brought back two sacks of limestone, which will be made into lime soon, and everyone will be able to see it then."
Alan: "Okay, let's just wait. You and Baiyun can decide about the limestone."
After waiting for a while, Shuisheng and Qinghua came in.
Seeing so many people here, Qinghua was shocked, thinking that they had done something to annoy people. After listening to Shuisheng's words, I realized that I had been overthinking it.
A group of people were very interested in the wilderness and the life of the Qingyan tribe, and they gathered around Qinghua and asked questions.
Huang Ying saw that Lin Yan was worried and asked her in a low voice what was wrong. Could it be that the conversation just now didn't go well?
Lin Yan shook his head, "Let's talk later when no one is around."
"Let's go out and talk first. No one can take care of us for the time being."
Lin Yan took a look and saw that it was indeed the case, so he and Huang Ying walked out of the house.
After telling what happened just now, Lin Yan looked at Huang Ying seriously, "What do you think?"
Huang Ying was silent for a moment, feeling that Lin Yan's ideas were too advanced and it would be difficult to stand in the same camp as her.
Lin Yan understood that Huang Ying didn't think highly of herself either.
Huang Ying said cautiously: "Don't be too impatient. This matter cannot be rushed. It must be done step by step. I think the most urgent task is to let everyone get familiar with the wilderness and the Qingyan tribe. As time goes by and there is less defense, this matter will be done."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "You're right. I was too impatient. We should teach them the writing first, and when they understand the language, they will become familiar with it faster. I'll go find Hua Min right now."
"Hey, don't worry, there's still a meeting over here." Huang Ying shouted hurriedly, seeing that Lin Yan was about to leave, what to do with the meeting over here.
Lin Yan stopped in a hurry, "I'm too anxious. Come on, let's go in and tell Alan before I leave."
Alan just thought that Lin Yan was in a hurry and let her go without asking any questions.
When she arrived at school, Hua Min was immersed in writing a book. When she looked up and saw Lin Yan, she thought she was dazzled, "Why are you here? It's so unexpected."
"Of course I miss you. I haven't seen you for more than a month, so I came to see you."
Hua Min stared at Lin Yan for a few seconds, "Come on, I don't know you yet. Why would you come to see me when you are so busy? Tell me, what are you doing with me?"
"Haha, you still understand me." Lin Yan casually flipped through the books on the table, "Did you write these?"
"Yes, I have already compiled the textbook for the first grade. It happens that Bai Chen can also print it. I will go to her to print the book in a few days."
"That's great. You're very efficient." Lin Yan said with admiration, "You're so capable. When I asked you to be the principal, you really had a good eye for things. You are suitable for this job."
Hua Min looked at Lin Yan quietly, not believing that she came here to talk about this, "Tell me, what is it?"
Lin Yan sat down and became serious.
