Feng Yong will definitely not admit such a thing as the chicken feathers of Han feudalism.

But the crux of the matter is, if the prime minister of the Han Dynasty wants to suspect a turtle, does he need evidence? Do you need the recognition of the turtle?

Feng Yong looked outside, now that autumn had begun, it was the time when the autumn tigers were raging, the sun was in full bloom, and there was no appearance of frost at all, let alone snow.

I had to sigh and promise the prime minister to give the chicken feathers he had put down to the prime minister's wife for free.

Of course, he will never give away duck feathers.

"There is another thing, Xijun said that you promised her to compensate her for a season of autumn silkworms, and now it is autumn, what about your silkworms?"

"Oh, I forgot. But before I came out, I had already taught my disciples the method. At that time, please ask the lady to go to the Zhuangzi to get it. ”

Feng Yong scratched his head, thinking to himself, isn't it just a little silkworm seed, how big is it? To you is it.

At the same time, I despise a certain prime minister in my heart, how are you also the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, thousands of miles away, and you have to ask for debts for your wife in private? Rake the ears!

Zhuge Liang naturally didn't know what Feng Tu was thinking.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when he saw Feng Yong say so lightly that he would let his fine gentleman go directly to Zhuangzi to get silkworm seeds, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Can you really hatch silkworms in the fall?"

"It's a very simple thing."

If you want to coax silkworms out of their eggs in autumn, you have to put them in a low temperature environment for a few days.

Nitrate is required for refrigeration.

The old stove soil in the kitchen, as well as the surrounding soil that has been composted for at least a year or two, or the soil scraped from the compost wall roots, is the most convenient for making nitrate.

The method of soil nitrate in the countryside is very simple.

At the root of the thatched house wall in the countryside, there is often a layer of fluffy white mold, which is the natural precipitation of nitric acid.

When I was a child, I often scraped it off, mixed it with finely milled charcoal, and stored it carefully.

When the festival is over, I will pick up the firecrackers that do not sound, pour out the gunpowder inside, and then mix it with the homemade powder, which is very refreshing.

Of course, there are also greedy ones, mixing too little gunpowder and adding too much powder, resulting in non-combustion, that is, wanting to cry without tears.

In fact, it is the principle of black powder.

Although the crossing does not engage in gunpowder, it is a fake rabbit.

But there are not enough materials, and there is no white-bearded grandfather with him, and there is no system that can be upgraded with a "ding" and then open up the permissions for you to buy, buy, buy

Only charcoal is not a problem.

In the case of nitrate, it used to be a problem.

That is, when I have a little power in my hands and a little manpower, I can get a real solution.

Even if the soil and nitrate produced by the aquaculture industry are not enough, there are actually a large number of nitrate holes in the mountains of Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Yunnan.

With the power and manpower in his hands, as long as he is willing to send a large number of people to find it, and it takes some time, he should be able to find it.

At most, it will take a little more effort to let people dig out the nitrate and refine it.

But where to find a lot of sulfur?

Feng Yong couldn't think of any sulfur mines in the territory of the Han Dynasty today - I remember that the geography books of later generations only said that there were in the Great Western Xinjiang.

As for the industrial extraction method...... Feng Yong could only lament once again that he was not a chemistry major.

And I've heard that most of the industrial chemicals that contain sulfur are toxic.

At the beginning of this kind of thing, you must have to start by yourself to get started, and others can't help at all.

I can't say that if I don't do it for a year or two, my body will have all kinds of abnormalities due to inhaling too much sulfide.

For example, hair loss, loose teeth, etc., in case of any lung cancer or liver cancer, then it is the second traverser who dies because his knowledge is too advanced.

The first is Wang's seniors.

Besides, even if the materials are complete, the power of black powder is not too great—the explosive power of explosives commonly used in later generations is more than ten times that of black powder.

Otherwise, would Nobel have eaten enough to develop high-power explosives?

The ordinary explosive package that is activated with a detonator in later film and television works contains yellow explosives, also called TNT, which is not the same thing as black powder at all.

If black powder wants to have the same power as an ordinary explosive pack, it is estimated that it will take the amount of a truckload, and it must be packed tightly to work.

A small packet of black powder is just to blow up a nice look, to scare people - or to use it to make a thunder, do some miracle or something.

In order for black powder to have a certain effect, it can only be used to accumulate power in quantity.

The manpower and material resources to be used in this, as well as the materials, have increased geometrically, and now the Han Dynasty is like this, and the whole country will save up for a few years, and the big city will basically be used up once it is bombed.

And it doesn't work out, because you'll have to bury tons of black powder under the walls.

As for high-power explosives, that's not to mention.

First, Feng Yong is not a chemical engineering major, and he doesn't have that amount of knowledge.

Second, he doesn't think he has Nobel's aura of avoiding death - when he was conducting nitroglycerin explosive tests, Nobel's younger brother was killed, and several assistants were also killed, and he survived alone.

Even in the various explosions that followed, Nobel was able to survive each time.

Isn't this what a death-free aura is?

In layman's terms, this kind of person is hard-hitting.

Standing under the same tree, when the sky thunders, he is unscathed when others are killed by thunder.

Therefore, Feng Yong's attitude towards black powder is: if you have materials, you can save as much as you can, but you don't force it.

"How many silkworms can be hatched?"

Zhuge Liang asked with concern in his eyes again.

Feng Yong glanced at Zhuge Liang and knew what he was thinking.

"As long as it is silkworm eggs, it can be hatched, but it may not be hatched. At present, this method cannot be popularized among the people, and at most, it can be used by large households. ”

Just for a few days of refrigeration, the nitrate required is not a small amount, and this is not just scraping some soil in the corner of the thatched house.

Refining nitrate process technology, how many people in Dahan will?

The process of refrigerating and cheating silkworm eggs for winter, there is only Feng Yong's family.

Besides, there are no thermometers or anything like that, and refrigeration is all about feeling.

In later generations, there are refrigerators and other specialized refrigeration equipment, and there is a certain failure rate for doing this! What's more, Feng Yong's extensive approach.

Therefore, the failure rate of autumn silkworm hatching is unprecedentedly high.

However, as long as you have the heart, when the silkworm moth lays eggs in the spring, you can find a way to let them produce more, so you don't have to worry about the lack of silkworm eggs.

But for ordinary people, if this method fails, the manpower, material resources, and money and food consumed during the period from nitrate production to silkworm hatching will all be wasted.

What can the people of Qianshou who have just eaten enough to bear now?

When Feng Yonggang returned to Jincheng from Hanzhong and promised Huang Yueying to compensate her for a season of autumn silkworms, there were people under her who wanted money and money, and silkworm eggs and silkworm eggs.

And in terms of nitrate, the few families that followed Feng Yong's breeding also piled up fertilizer for more than a year, and at the same time, Feng Yong also asked Zhao Guang and others to do their best to help.

Just like that, he also worked on it for a long time and recorded a bunch of test conditions before he barely measured it.

Since the people can't do this for the time being, it is not a national event, not a national event, then you can hide your own private affairs and use it to make money.

Therefore, Feng Yong has no plans to publish this method for the time being.

Cheap those big families are not as good as cheap Xinghanhui's internal brothers.

When the time comes, the supply of silkworm seeds will be concentrated, with one price inside and one price outside.

Love or not!

Anyway, the luxury of silk brocade will not have much impact on the lives of the people if it is missing, what are you afraid of?

As for the fact that Shu Jin foreign trade earns foreign exchange - he has offered so many things before and after, which one is not related to the people's livelihood?

Who doesn't know that the imperial court now has money and food in its hands? Do you still need to stare at that little bit of Shu brocade income all day long?

And it's not that it reduces the income of the imperial court in this regard, it's just that it doesn't increase it.

You can't always point at me!

It's not easy for me to make some money.

Zhuge Liang obviously understood the meaning of Feng Yong's words.

Although he had heard this statement from his own Xijun a long time ago, he heard Feng Yong confirm it again at this time, although he was a little disappointed at the moment, he didn't say anything more.

Coming out of Zhuge Liang, Feng Yong saw that it was still early, so he went to the place where he used to live in the city and took a look at Eshun.

This guy has good vitality, and in just a few days, he can throw away his crutches and try to walk two steps on his own.

It seems that his recovery time will be faster than estimated, and he will not delay the plan to pacify the trouble.

Feng Yong nodded with satisfaction and said to Eshun, "I have good news for you, I went to inquire, after Gao Ding's wife and children were captured, they have been left in the army by the prime minister and have not been harmed, and you will be able to see them in a few days." ”

When E Shun heard this, a grateful look appeared on his ugly face, and he stood up and saluted, "The villain thanked Feng Langjun for his help. ”

Feng Yong waved his hand, "It doesn't have to be like this. I promised you, and I will do my best to help you do it, but don't forget what you promised me. ”

"The villain doesn't dare to forget a little."

"That's it." Feng Yong nodded, "Actually, I came this time to ask you about someone. ”

"Feng Langjun, please speak."

"Li Qiucheng of Yueyan County, have you ever heard of it?"

"This person is a commander of the Winter Canal Department of Suqi County, Yueyun."

Although E Shun was a little strange why Feng Yong would mention such a person, he still replied honestly.

"Suqi County's Winter Canal Department?" Feng Yong frowned slightly, "Is this department considered a big clan in Yueyun County?" ”

E Shun nodded and replied, "Yue Yun is originally respected by the tall king tribe, and there are several major tribes under it, one is the horse catching department in the north, which is the most brave; The second is the Dongqu Department of Suqi County, whose monarch is Dongfeng, and Dongfeng's wife is the daughter of the King of Niu, Hanjia County. ”

Therefore, the Dongqu Department of Yueyan County and the Niubu Department of Hanjia County echo each other, and the momentum is very great. There are two brave generals under the command of the Dong Qu Department Jun Chang Dong Feng, one is his younger brother Dong Kui Qu, who is fierce and fierce, and the other is Li Qiucheng, whose life is tyrannical and killing. ”

"These two are feared not only by people of their tribe, but also by people of other tribes."

Winter Drain Department's Winter Feng, Winter Kui Canal, Li Qiucheng.

Feng Yong silently jotted down this information.

Then he asked, "Who led that horse catcher?" What about the people? ”

"The king of Yi of the horse catching department is called Wei Wolf, and his person is known as faithful, but he is deeply respected by the tribe."

"Are there any other tribes in the county that need attention?"

"There is another one, the handsome wolf Cen of Dingshan County, who is also known as a prestige among the tribes."

Eshun knows everything.

Feng Yong finally felt that having a character who was familiar with the place could really make people feel a lot more at ease.

"I won't hide it from you, after the prime minister pacified Yueyan County and went south, Gong Lu, the Taishou who stayed in Yuedan, was killed by Li Qiucheng. I thought Li Qiucheng was the head of the clan, but I didn't expect it to be just the commander of the Winter Canal Department. In this way, the Winter Canal must be the whole tribe descending. ”

Feng Yong looked at Eshun, "The prime minister will let me lead the troops to pacify Yue in the near future, my original intention was not to cause more killings." Therefore, I want Gaoding's wife and children to go with me to see if I can recall the old Gaoding department. At the same time, it is also good to use Gao Ding's prestige during his lifetime to recruit the people of Yuejun County. ”

When Eshun heard this, a look of worry immediately appeared on his face.

"Feng Langjun, Yi people are heavy warriors and are easy to fight, and the tall king is an orphan and a widow, how can you convince those tribal monarchs? Feng Langjun's move, wouldn't it make the wife and children of the tall king be bullied? ”

"Don't worry, I'm just borrowing the name of Gaoding, and I will never let people hurt Gaoding's wife and children."

Feng Yong explained, "It's really a headache for Yue Yi to regain their peace, and I am not very familiar with Yue Yan, so I thought that if I brought them, it would be better than my eyes being dark." ”

"No!" E Shun stood up suddenly, and then he saw Feng Yong's eyes narrow, his heart panicked, and he quickly apologized, "The villain was a little anxious just now, please Feng Langjun to see." ”

"You say."

Feng Yong looked at E Shun for a while, and saw that E Shun was a little confused in his heart, and then slowly spoke for a long time.

"If Feng Langjun really wants to use the wife and children of the tall king to go to Yue Yun to recruit the old department, the villain has a request."

"Tell me about it."

"Please ask Feng Langjun to let the villain escort him. The villain is in Yueyun, and he can be regarded as thinly famous, and those tribal chiefs always have to give the villain some face. ”

There was a slight begging on Eshun's face.

"Yes."

Feng Yong pondered for a while before spitting out a word.

E Shun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully, "The villain thanked Feng Langjun. ”

Feng Yong looked at Eshun and smiled indifferently, "But you must keep one thing in mind, this time you go to Yueyun with me to recruit those Yi people." If someone in turn wants to use Gaoding's wife and children as a demon, then no wonder I am ruthless. ”

When E Shun heard this, he struck a fierce spirit.

Obviously, this ghost king in the south of the world, the ruthless target, must also include the wife and children of the tall king.

Ignoring the injuries on his body, he knelt down and said heavily, "The villain understands what Feng Langjun means!" ”

"Good. I'll just trust you for once. Eshun, this is the first time you have followed me to do something. Whether the future life of Gao Ding's wife and children is good or bad depends on how well things are done this time. ”

Feng Yong helped Eshun up and asked him to sit down, then he spoke.

"The villain will definitely live up to Feng Langjun's expectations."

Eshun gritted his teeth.

"That's done. You should recuperate from your injuries first and strive to recover quickly, don't go to Yue Yue when the time comes, and drag yourself down because of the injuries on your body. ”

"Yes, the villain understands."

Feng Yong nodded slightly, and went to find Fan A next door, and told him that as long as he could use the precious medicinal materials, all of them should be used by Eshun, as long as he could recover as soon as possible.

Then he re-exited the city gate with his subordinates and returned to the camp.

Now Zhao Guang and Wang Xun are the two of them, and they were appointed as the generals of the teeth by the prime minister during the southern expedition, and they are already figures in the army.

Although Li Yiyang is the left and right Sima of the Yizhou Diannong School Captain, he sent grain to the Southern Expedition Army as a grain transport officer a few days ago, and was temporarily appointed as the governor of the prime minister.

When the four returned to the army, they were not allowed to walk around without an order.

Only Feng Yong has several titles on his body, what is the captain of the agricultural school, what is the supervisor of Hanzhong Metallurgy, what is the doctor of advice, etc., but none of them are military positions.

And these titles are not small, except for Zhuge Liang in the army, no one can nominally care where he goes.

So he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the sun had just set on the mountain, pack up his things, and take Guan Ji and Ah Mei back to the small courtyard in the city to rest.

In a place like the barracks, if you can't sleep, of course, you won't sleep.

It's a pity that he just returned to the camp, and before he could drink a sip of water, he saw Li Yi come over with a slightly strange face: "Brother, someone outside wants to see you." ”

"Who?"

Feng Yongqi said.

"The daughter of the barbarian king Meng Shu, Hua Hu."
