Perhaps because of the extra group of wounded who were moaning incessantly, the atmosphere of the group on the way back was extremely dull.

Compared with Zhang Xiaojing and the others' simple worries about the injuries of Tong Kuan and other wounded people, the people around Wei Ming, such as Qinghong, Yueru and Huang Maoshan Guo Xu, were more worried about why Wei Ming would take on such an errand!

After spending money, it is easy to say how much one or two can be cured, but in the end, none of them can be cured......

Wei Ming saw everyone's expressions.

Of course, he knew that this errand was simply thankless.

But the reason why he still insisted on doing this was because Wei Ming knew that if he did this well, his Wei Ming's name would definitely be praised by all the Tang Dynasty soldiers!

This kind of reputation may not do him any good in his career, and he may even be criticized in private, saying that he is selling his reputation and reputation......

But Wei Ming dared to promise that if he had the opportunity to contact the military in the future......

Then at that time, there will definitely be countless soldiers in the team, who will be willing to die because of their words!

Of course, in addition to these, the reason why Wei Ming dared to do this was more because he had sufficient confidence in treating several wounded.

It was also because of this that Wei Ming didn't care about the puzzled gazes of several people, and didn't even explain, just happily looked at the big bag of various seeds collected, especially one of the seeds with a lot of gray and black threads.

Most of these seeds were taken off by those soldiers when they learned that Wei Ming was actually willing to spend money to buy seeds, and they peeled off their close-fitting clothes from the filling in the mezzanine of their clothes!

This is also the reason why Wei Ming is happy.

Because he didn't know most of the seeds, but he knew at a glance what they were—cotton seeds!

A large amount of cotton was used to make cotton clothes and quilts to keep out the cold winter, which was a matter of the Song Dynasty, but it was introduced to Middle Earth in the Tang Dynasty, and it was already recognized by the world.

As for why it was introduced, not many people know.

It is generally accepted that it was cultivated by the princes and nobles as a kind of exotic flower.

But now Wei Ming knew that this might not be the case—because the soldiers had stuffed it into the sandwich of their clothes, and it was obvious that they had discovered its ability to keep out the cold.

The reason why it was not popularized in large numbers at first was more because people had not yet discovered what to do with the cotton, rather than because they did not know the warmth function of cotton.

However, for Wei Ming, the role of cotton is not just as simple as keeping out the cold!

In addition to being used to make cotton clothes, quilts, cotton threads, etc., it can also be used in the military - not to mention that nitrocellulose can be made from cotton as a propellant, and standard bullets can be made, let's say now......

With cotton, you can use cotton thread and a little chemical to make a very stable fuse!

With the fuse and gunpowder, there are more tricks that can be played!

And in addition to cotton, cottonseed itself is also extremely useful.

Making soap can be described as an essential means of making a fortune.

This is not only because the demand is huge, but also because the ingredients are so easy to make that as long as you are not stupid, you can almost always succeed.

As for the soap made from ordinary animal oil or sesame oil is too expensive, the travelers generally don't care, because in their opinion, the raw materials are expensive, so it is a big deal to sell the finished soap more expensive......

But apparently the time-travelers forgot that if soap was made from these oils in large quantities, the prices of all kinds of oils on the market would skyrocket - and the government would not sit idly by!

And with cottonseed, this problem can be said to be solved!

After all, cottonseed planting can not only grow extremely useful cotton, but also an excellent oil crop, with an oil content of more than 50%!

Cottonseed oil is bitter and smelly, and it is not suitable for consumption at all, but it is no problem to use it as a soap!

"Pay attention to where the Anxi army will be stationed after returning to the city!"

Wei Ming explained to Guo Xi: "Arrange more people to bring money, don't do anything in the last few days, all of them will be guarded by the military revenue for me - whether we can make a fortune or not, but it all depends on how many cottonseeds you can receive, understand?" ”

"Don't worry, I've got it!"

Recently, Guo Xi, who has made a small profit because of the monopoly of refined salt, no longer needs to go out with a little pocket money, has finally found a few points of the Zuowei General's Mansion Saburo style, Guo Xi's eyes lit up after hearing the words "can make a lot of money", and his head was like a chicken pecking rice.

By the time they returned to the city, it was already dark.

"Go back and rest!"

Wei Ming greeted Qinghongyue like a big tiger Huang Maoshan, and planned to follow the team straight to Ping'an Fang to settle the wounded.

"Xiaolang, let me go with you!"

Yueru said at this time: "There are so many wounded people who need to be taken care of, just Xiaolang, you must not be busy, over there in the salt shop, it is enough to have Sister Qinghong!" ”

"Are you okay?"

Wei Ming pointed to the wounded and said, "You should know how terrible their injuries are!" ”

Thinking of the injuries of the wounded that she noticed in the corner of her eyes before, Yueru's face turned slightly pale, but she still said: "As long as I can help Xiaolang, I can bear it!" ”

Looking at the back of Yueru following Wei Ming, Qinghong found for the first time that the current Yueru was no longer the little girl who was trembling behind her in the teaching workshop......

She began to be unwilling to just follow behind her, sprinkling and wiping in the salt shop, and had secretly learned to grasp the opportunities she could!

"Grow up......"

When Qinghong muttered this, she was a little happy and a little annoyed, it felt like it was originally her own, and now someone wanted to compete with her......

Although the reputation of bad people in Chang'an is not good, they are fierce enough.

It is also for this reason that although in the eyes of the nobles, these bad people may be just rancid reptiles, but in the bottom, they have enough mobilization power.

In just twenty or thirty miles of time, the unscrupulous people who returned to the city first had already gathered enough manpower to not only clean up all the deserted houses and spray them with lime water according to Wei Ming's instructions, but even most of the houses that had not collapsed and could still be repaired had been repaired slightly.

Because of this, although the deserted house is an abandoned house for many years, it is now fully inhabitable!

When Wei Ming and the others arrived at the deserted mansion with the wounded, not only had a fire already lit up in the deserted mansion and set up a long bed, but there were even several Langzhong around the house on standby.

Among these lang, it is clear that it is not just the bad people who 'invite' them to come over, which can be seen from the expressions on their faces.

And after smelling the strong smell of rotting flesh on the wounded, the expressions of several Lang Zhong were almost like they were about to cry!
