After King Xin'an took his leave, Xu Yi was a little decadent.

Shut yourself in the study and carefully consider some of your practices after entering Chang'an. It's hard to say whether it's wrong or right.

Judging from the current situation, he was indeed in a hurry, which led to being abandoned by both the prince and King Shou. Similarly, it is precisely because the speed of his own advancement is faster and the process of gaining a foothold in Chang'an is shorter, that he avoids the difficulty of choosing between the crown prince and the king of Shou.

Just imagine, if you don't mind the views of the Chang'an Xungui family, you will accept the eldest princess to recognize her relatives like that, and you will accept the position of General Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang so smoothly. In that case, given the position of the eldest princess and the princess Yuzhen in the hearts of the saints, it is bound to make the crown prince and the king of Shou tirelessly attack.

Perhaps, in the process, I will also know some things and participate in some things······ The competition for the crown prince of the Dasheng Dynasty has always been bloody, and there are countless heads, not only the prince, but also those dependent forces.

What's more, there is also a Yang Yuhuan, the woman who makes herself feel ashamed.

Xu Yi didn't want to get involved in the competition for the crown prince, so that he changed his original trajectory and hurt Yang Yuhuan······ It's really hard to say.

Therefore, Xu Yicai decided to find another way.

Anyway, since I've come to this point, I still don't believe that I can't get a way.

Isn't it just money? If Xu Yi can't solve the problem of money, it will be a shame for a traverser.

I regret that I put the coal stove and briquettes on display earlier, if the briquettes and coal stoves are put in the current military camp, Xu Yi thinks that it should not be difficult to feed thousands of soldiers.

It is not surprising to have such an idea.

Now in the army of the entire dynasty, how many soldiers are still supported by the imperial court, it is estimated that even the saints are at the bottom of each number. The government military system collapsed, and the conscription system was supported by food and salary.

In the early days of the dynasty, the military system, whether the court had food or salary is another story. That is, in the past few years, the recruitment of troops and government soldiers, as well as the military system of parallel cavalry, made Xu Yi ask for some food and salary from the imperial court when he was preparing to build the Shence Army.

Shence Army, if Xu Yi comes up with a livelihood to support, it is very likely that he will come to the imperial court to agree.

I have to show some ability again.

The Xiliuying barracks designed by Xu Yi originally had a steelmaking workshop, but Xu Yi also knew that steelmaking at this time was definitely limited to military use, not to mention that Xu Yi also wanted to use the knowledge in his memory to improve the steelmaking process.

Therefore, Xu Yi had to find another way to raise military funds.

One is glass and the other is cement, which can be achieved by calcination only in the physical and chemical knowledge that has been learned.

I am grateful that I studied science, I am grateful for my chemistry achievements, and I am grateful that after I came to this era, the knowledge in my mind has become clearer and clearer.

At the same time, I am grateful that it is now winter, and the matter of selecting soldiers for the Shence Army is not so urgent, so that I have enough time to prepare.

"Uncle Clan, do you mean poisonous alkali?"

When Xu Yi mentioned trona, Xu Sishun said that it was toxic alkali.

"Uncle clan, my nephew has seen this thing, in Tongbo County, Shannan Province, there are a large number of this thing, and the people call it poisonous alkali."

"Let's get some first. Don't let people know. ”

Xu Yi wasn't sure if this poisonous alkali was trona.

"Lord, no, there is such a thing in the poor road."

I forgot that there is also a Ling Yunzi at home who is obsessed with alchemy, an alchemist, who likes to collect some messy things, especially some minerals.

Xu Yi was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly picked up Ling Yunzi: "Go, let me see what things you have." ”

Xu Yi is lucky, he is honored to come to this world and arrive at the Gongming Palace, and the Gongming Hall has Ling Yunzi, a Taoist priest who is obsessed with alchemy.

And Ling Yunzi's collection of things really surprised Xu Yi. There are not only natural sodas, but also quartz sand, and even some silica ore······

Xu Yi began to drill into Ling Yunzi's small courtyard all day long, accompanying Ling Yunzi to tinker. It's been like this for more than ten days. Let the eldest princess, who has been paying attention to the quilt, also start to be a little worried.

The eldest princess has never left since she arrived in the Xu Mansion.

Although she did not mix with court affairs, the eldest princess who grew up in the palace had a natural feeling for Xu Yi's situation during this time, and when she knew that the sage allowed Xu Yi to set up another army, she was even more worried about Xu Yi, so she lived in Xu Mansion for a long time.

also happened to take advantage of this time, in the winter, paying attention to the quilt, and even Princess Yuzhen came over from time to time to join in the fun.

Xu Yi's abnormality made the eldest princess very worried.

asked the family, but no one understood what Xu Yi was doing, only that it was because of the problem of the food and salary of the new Shence army that Xu Yi fell into such a crazy state.

"Yi'er, for the sake of my mother, I will enter the palace and ask San Lang for permission. Yi'er can't be allowed to form a Shence army, but he won't be paid. ”

The eldest princess looked at Xu Yi's slightly emaciated cheeks, and was very distressed: "Yi'er, it's really not good, just ask San Lang for permission for your mother, and you can also fund the army for your mother." ”

"Yi'er's contribution will be criticized by the imperial court, and Wei Niang has no such concerns."

That is to say, if it is really funded by the eldest princess, and the eldest prince is the leader of the Shence army, it is still a firearms army that people can't understand the power, not to mention the criticism of the court, even the saint may not be able to sleep steadily.

This is not a border state, nor is it a local festival envoy, it is in Chang'an.

"Mother, there is no need to be like this, mother, look at what this is?"

Xu Yi said, and took out a piece of flat and unround stuff from his sleeve, which was very ugly, but shiny and shiny for people to look at.

"This is Ruri?"

"It should be said that it is glass, which is the name given by the child, and it may be the same as the glass brought by the big food merchant Jia. It's something that the kids have been tinkering with these days. ”

"You're saying you can make glass?"

Even the eldest princess, who is not interested in money and food, has raised her voice a little. Liuli, this is a thing comparable to jade jewelry, Xu Yi did this.

"Mother, that's true. What does my mother think is the value of this thing? ”

"Yi'er, although she is not a mundane woman, she also knows the value of glass. Although the shape is ugly, it is glass, and this is the only one, which is enough for your house for a year. ”

"Mother, the child tells you that this thing is made of sand and poisonous alkali, and it is not even worth the value of a bowl of rice. Now the child has learned how to make it, that is, how many people will have this thing in the future! ”

The eldest princess couldn't help but pull off the glass accessories she was carrying from her waist······ It doesn't seem to be as clear as Xu Yi's flat and unround thing, it's just that the shape has a meaning.

Xu Yi was a little embarrassed.

"Yi'er, how are you going to run this property?"

"If the child wants to run a military industry, when the child recruits the Shence Army, he recruits the family members of the Shence Army together, so that Xiliuying builds a glass workshop and uses the income of the glass industry to support the Shence Army."

It's not that Xu Yi is generous, but there is really no way.

It is impossible to take back the industry that was displayed in the early days from the hands of the noble family, and it is taboo to use his own income to support the Shence army.

It can only be an industry to support the Divine Army in the name of the Divine Army, and if you want to come up with such a workaround, you can pass it in the imperial court and even the saints.

In fact, cement Xu Yi has also been tinkering with Ling Yunzi in the past few days.

Compared with cement, the market and profit of glass are much larger. Cement may be a strategic substance, but glass can be exported.

"Yi'er, the industry of the Shence Army······ Once the Shence Army is formed, it is impossible for Yi'er to control the Shence Army for life, and Saburo and the later successors of the Great Unification will not allow Yi'er to be in charge of the Shence Army forever. ”

"In this way, the glass industry will be in the name of the Divine Army, and in the future, how will the glass industry choose?"

How to choose? For Xu Yi, this thing has figured out the production process by himself, and it will be rotten in a few years. There is no need to cover up an industry that is bound to rot the street, it is better to pretend to be generous and dedicate it directly.

What's more, as long as you want to, you can pull out another glass workshop at any time.

However, since the eldest princess has thought about herself, there is naturally no need to say it so clearly.

"That's it, call Sister Yuzhen for your mother, and you will enter the palace with your mother. This matter brought Yuzhen's sister in, and with Wei Niang, the Internal Affairs Office, and Yi'er herself, they all participated in it, so that the Shence Army accounted for a certain part, and it did not affect you to attract soldiers to sign up for the Shence Army by providing your family to make a living. ”
