Chapter 102: The Surrounding "Neighbors"

In fact, Zijian has a quicker way to solve the problem of grease, but he has no suitable candidates and tools, so he can only give up temporarily.

What's the workaround?

Whales! Zijian thought that whales could provide oil, so he bought books to check the uses of whales. More than 40 tons of oil can be obtained from a 120-ton blue whale. This amount of fat is equivalent to the amount of lard taken from thousands of fat pigs. Blukee is hydrotreated to obtain a hard lump that is odorless and odorless, and can also be processed into edible margarine. There are many other uses for blubber. It can make candles and oil paints. It is also used in the steelmaking and tanning industries. Because whale oil does not change its viscosity at high temperatures, it is used as a lubricant for some precision instruments.

Whales are simply a treasure trove of movement, but nowadays, when people see such a huge whale, coupled with feudal superstition or something, they think that whales are the incarnation of gods, or some other sinister omen, and they dare not attack whales.

When you encounter a whale at sea, maybe you will burn incense and worship the Buddha, bless peace, you can only say the limitations of the information of the times, in the history of China, there has never been a record of the people eating whales.

Zijian didn't care about this, he fell in love with the benefits of whales, and whale disaster was coming.

Needless to say, the benefits of whales are unsaid, but it's a pity that Zijian has no boat now, can't go to sea, and sailors who go to sea also don't, so the plan to hunt whales is stranded.

Whale Roe has a chance to definitely get it, why, the fat of a whale is equivalent to the oil refined from thousands of pigs, is it easy to hunt a whale, or it is easy to raise thousands of pigs! Whales are so cost-effective that they are destined to end, and the most important thing is that it is not illegal to hunt whales during this period!

And even if Zijian hunted whales, no one dared to come to him for trouble.

As for whether it will cause the demise of whales, Zijian is too lazy to care, at this time people can't take care of it, who cares about the demise of whales, the future generations are small, and the day is small, and there is no problem with killing a large number of whales in the name of scientific research every year.

After all, with the development of society, whales are no longer mysterious creatures, and Zijian will use the law to protect them in the future, isn't it more conducive to the survival of whales, they only need to make a little contribution to Zijian's development in the early stage.

For the survival of whales in the future, there is no problem in contributing some whales!

Who let Zijian get oil depletion!

Now it happens to be the harvest season of tea seed fruit, after a period of time the tea seed will fall, when the oil problem still needs to be solved by Zijian, tea seed oil can only temporarily solve the problem, the final solution, or whales.

Whales are distributed in the South China Sea. It's a pity that Zijian can only think about it now, he has a lot of plans, but the conditions are not ripe, so he can only put it on hold.

Zijian was idle, and then he began to think about other things, in his territory, he didn't know that there were other illegal armed divisions, as long as it wasn't from the volunteers, it was illegal to pick up arms, these forces had to be completely eradicated, and when Zijian started construction, those guys came out to make trouble, isn't this a drag on Zijian's time.

How many people in the same way are around, Zijian still needs to understand clearly.

Take advantage of the fact that construction has not begun, and clear the surrounding potential threats.

However, he has to wait for the recruits to train for a few days, and then let them go out for a walk, where there is an illegal organization, it will be bulldozed, as a bandit, Zijian does not allow different voices in his territory.

Without Zijian's permission, the guys who were armed at will, Zijian characterized them as terrorists, and the safety of their people's lives and property was definitely the target of eradication.

Well, in fact, the Volunteers are the biggest terrorists in the neighborhood, but who makes the Volunteers fist big! Whoever is a terrorist is the scum of this exterminated.

Zijian didn't know how many bandit dens there were nearby, so he could only inquire first, those thieves didn't know where they were, what a fart!

Zijian gave an order, and someone inquired about the news in Zhangjia Village, and soon brought an old man in.

Get up and greet him, let the old man sit down and bring the tea up, and then let the girl bring some snacks, which the girl made, and now there is a place for it.

Zijian is very polite to ordinary people, because in his opinion, those who show off their might in front of them really lose their identity, and what sense of accomplishment is there in pretending to be big in front of the weak. This lowers one's interest.

Zijian: "The old man's surname!" ”

"The adult can call Lao Han Lao Zhang!"

Zijian disagreed, "Uncle Zhang, I mean, someone should have told you, how many thieves are there near this Zhangjia Village?" ”

The old man touched his beard. After thinking for a while, he replied, "The first of the three cottages I know is a tenant in our village in the past, because he killed Zhang Caitong's son, he was forced to go up the mountain to become a thief, although they were wanted by the government, but they have not done anything evil over the years." ”

Zijian listened, how did he feel so familiar, this won't say Zhang San! is Zijian's former owner of the village, Zijian was unwilling to be subordinate, so he left the cottage.

He stayed in the cottage for more than a month, and naturally knew the things better than Zhang Laohan, the cottage did not restrict the people from leaving, as long as you felt that there was a better way out, Zhang San, the owner of the village, would generously let people leave, this thief seemed out of place.

But because of Zhang San's way of dealing with it, no one left, and I don't know what the situation is outside, the thieves are all poor people, and if they leave, they will starve to death, and they will have two bowls of porridge to drink with Zhang San.

Zijian: "What about the other two! ”

Zhang Laohan: "Among them, there is a leader of a group of thieves, I heard that he was raised by Li Baihu, who specializes in robbing businessmen who come and go. But these are just what the old man has heard, and I don't know if it's true. ”

There is a guard set up by the imperial court near Zhangjia Village, and the military households in this guard have all fled, and the rest are the old, weak, sick and disabled, all waiting for death, and the money and grain of the imperial court have not reached the hands of the military households for a long time, and the military households live on the money and grain of the imperial court.

Obviously, the government has money and grain every year, but not a penny is distributed to the hands of military households, doesn't it explain anything! They were all deducted by their superiors!

The money and grain were sent down according to the needs of 100 households, and the county officials first deducted 30 percent, and the remaining 70 percent were deducted again in the hands of 1,000 households, and the remaining 50 percent went to 100 households.

Hundreds of households want to use food to give gifts to their superiors, and they want to recruit their own private soldiers, all of which are done with the food and salary of military households, so that how much food and salary is still in the hands of military households, so that after a long time, the military households below have fled, so that the hundred households are more open-minded and eat empty salaries.

The rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled, who dared to resist and beg for money and food, it was not that no one had done it, but they were all killed by Li Baihu in the name of rebellion.

In this way, the guard house has actually been abolished, and it has no combat effectiveness at all, but on the list of the imperial court, this guard house is still distributed according to the normal money and grain, how can these things be hidden from the superior officials, but everyone pretends not to see it, if you don't do this, how can you have filial piety money!

Everyone tried their best to conceal that there was really an official who reported these things to the Son of Heaven, and then there was no more, and his recital could not be placed in front of the Son of Heaven, and it was already intercepted, and then the official was imprisoned a few days later on trumped-up charges, or suddenly fell ill and died on the bed.

Anyway, the officials of the imperial court are all smart people, and they have long been united together to swallow the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, as for the harm to the imperial court, it should be invisible, the hearts of the officials have always been family priority, for the prosperity of the family, the interests of the imperial court are damaged, and it is their business.

The conscientious official wanted to report to the Son of Heaven, but died inexplicably, and Daming would have been saved a long time ago.

Li Baihu deducted the money and food of this military household, and created a private army for himself, and the military household under his command Li Baihu didn't care, the military household belonged to the imperial court, and the private soldiers were his own, and the "smart" Li Baihu still needed to choose, of course, the money and food of those military households were given to their own private soldiers, and the military households died and died, and there were just more places to eat empty salaries.

Therefore, Li Baihu is eager for the military households to die, even if the military households are gone, the money and food will still come down, who doesn't want such a good thing.

Li Baihu relied on private soldiers to rob passing caravans, caravans with backgrounds did not dare to rob, and caravans without background and no ability to protect their caravans, then it would be unlucky, Li Baihu thought he was doing seamlessly, but this kind of thing can be hidden from the people nearby.

Fortunately, Li Baihu also knew that the people were poor ghosts, and there was no oil and water for robbery.

A hundred households in the imperial court, originally to maintain local tranquility, have now become robbers and thieves, but no official pays attention to it, because Li Baihu has already taken care of his superiors, and his superiors naturally won't say anything when they take the silver, pretending not to see it.

This is the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, sometimes, the bandits are not bandits, they are forced to become bandits, officials are not officials, and the real beasts that eat people and don't spit out bones
