The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 Olaf yelled and called Yot, who was overseeing him. Yot frowned and looked at the group of children in front of him. He snorted and cursed: "What are you running for? Go home!"

　　 The teenagers were frightened, they all looked at Olaf, and Olaf waved his hands and said, "You go first, I'll talk to Uncle Yot."

　　 The eldest brother spoke, and the teenagers left together, and Half and Gailny were also taken away by Tom and the others to play.

　　 Watching the teenagers leave, Yotte asked curiously: "What can you do with Olaf?"

　　 "Uncle Yot, I want to know what's going on with the savages in the back cave." Olaf solemnly asked.

"What are you asking for?" Yotte frowned slightly. He wanted to be perfunctory, but when he thought of Olaf's maturity and wisdom different from ordinary people, he sighed and pulled him into the leeward wall, and whispered, "It's dead this winter. Thirty-six, basically all of them are old, young, women and children. There are still twenty-eight who are sick now. It is estimated that they will not survive. Tomorrow those patients will be driven out of the cave to fend for themselves."

　　 "How can it work?" Olaf frowned and said, "Don't you drive the patients out this season and let them die in the wild?"

　　 "But if we leave the patient in the cave, we will spread the curse of the healthy wild man, and in the end we may even infect the white slave and us, we can't take the risk!" Yotte was very cautious, and he explained in a deep voice.

　　 Olaf knew that Yot was right, but he really couldn't bear to ignore the life and death of the natives. After thinking about it, he asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me about the symptoms of those savages?"

　　Yote thought for a while, and said: "It should be a cold. Drinking some hot grapes is good, but we don't have much of our own. How can we waste it on the indigenous people?"

　　 Olaf tried to suggest: "Can I go and see? Maybe I have a way to make these sick slaves recover faster."

　　 Yotte resolutely shook his head and refused: "Impossible! It is too dangerous! If your father knows that I let you go to that place, he will kill me! And you shouldn't go!"

　　 Olaf asked again, and found that Jotte was very determined, so he could only shrug his shoulders and said, "If they have a cold, I think there are still some ways."

　　 "What can be done?" Yotte is also very concerned about the health of his slaves, not only because slaves are equal to livestock and wealth, but also because they are worried that the indigenous people will spread the virus to white slaves and Icelanders.

Olaf didn’t know what kind of cold these indigenous people had, but he could not treat it, but he knew some auxiliary treatment methods, so he told the festival teacher Elder Amiye in the name of a new type of treatment method. Yotte talked about the methods he knew.

"Uncle Yot! Elder Amier said that now people in Rome are suffering from a cold. They drink hot water continuously, while maintaining good air circulation, and eating some nutritious porridge. It will be better after a long time. If you can't, then God can't save him..."

　　 Olaf turned around and went home after speaking. He had already explained what he could know. He didn't know if it would be useful to the indigenous people, and he could only hope that they would get better as soon as possible.

Yotte waited until Olaf left before turning around and walking towards the construction site. Several white slaves nodded and bowed hurriedly when they saw Lord Yotte coming. Yotte called someone over and ordered them according to Olaf’s intentions, and asked them to be certain. Guaranteed to supply savage slaves a pot of black bean porridge a day, Mei Zhuo put the sick slaves behind, and began to focus on the construction of the city of Groot.

By noon, Hadar led the militia back to Haigburg. The white slave militia moved all the seawater clay pots back to their homes and gave them to families with women to cook sea salt. Hadar has promised to give them priority when they are cooked. The family part of the sea salt, and the firewood for boiling the salt can use the square wood in the warehouse in the fort. This kind of good thing is very positive, and the sea salt has been cooked for days and nights from the afternoon.

Sea salt is a solid crystallization of sea water that is boiled and dried. Although most of it is sodium chloride, it also contains impurities and toxic substances in the sea. However, there is no industrial waste in the sea. In addition, the seawater in the northern Atlantic Ocean is cleaner, so whether it is Vinland The sea salt produced from the sea water of Iceland is basically healthy.

　　Salt is a necessity for human survival. Even if it is poisonous, people have to eat it in order to survive. Moreover, people nowadays don't understand the composition of sea salt. They only know that sea salt can be obtained by boiling sea water.

Olaf had nothing to do and took his younger brother and sister and Pikku to see the sea salt for a while, and found that they first boiled sea water into brine, and then all the thick brine was poured into a crock to cook, and finally got Some white salt crystals.

Ten earthen jars are about fifty or sixty gallons of sea water, but at the end of the boiled, only less than ten tablespoons of salt can be obtained. Olaf feels that these are too inefficient, and can try to open up a salt pan to dry the salt in the summer. If it succeeds, not only can it be used by itself, but it can also be sold as a commodity. After all, there is basically no cost to sun-dried salt. You can make a lot of money when you sell it. It's a little cheaper than other kinds of salt. Is it worrying about the market?

The sun-dried salt is something that most of the Obaro people have never contacted or even heard of, but Olaf has seen it with his own eyes. He thinks he can really try it in the summer~www.readwn.com~ in 1628 From the end of February to mid-March of the year, in nearly 20 days, Hadar led the militiamen to and from the sea more than a dozen times. He fetched two thousand cans of sea water, and finally consumed the firewood piled into hills, which was boiled. It's less than ten pounds of sea salt.

　　 Hadar first took out one pound and gave it to more than a dozen white slave families who boiled salt, and then took out six pounds as a reward for the hard training of the white slave spearmen and Icelandic Musketeers for months.

　　 The remaining two pounds are more than two pounds as inventory, and the rest will be shared with Yotte, Hudik, Kadir, Hoskard and others.

　　 The salt crisis in Herut Manor was temporarily resolved. Both the Icelanders and the white slaves were all happy and called Master Hadar a good man.

　　 Today's table salt is almost ten times cheaper than it was hundreds of years ago. After all, hundreds of years ago, table salt was as rare as spices, silver, and gold, and it can be directly used as currency to participate in commercial activities.

Today's table salt is still considered a not cheap seasoning. Ordinary people can only buy it at the church, and the price is more than thirty or forty times that of food. Ordinary people use salt when eating meat in addition to curing meat. Reluctant to eat more.

Now Hadar rewards everyone with salt, which is equivalent to a gift and an expensive item that is necessary for life. Since the winter, the white slaves who have faded out of their mouths have not received kippers during the previous training, and their physical strength cannot keep up with the training. Up.

　　 Now everyone gets salt, they are all happy and grateful to Hadar.

　　 The people of Iceland are influenced by the emotions of the white slaves, and they respect Hadar more.

　　 The bold and generous Hadar is indeed a rare hero among the current manor and chief, so he is very popular even when he is in Iceland.
