After this period of investigation, Wei Ming was very satisfied with Huang Maoshan, both in character and curiosity.

It is for this reason that he has now officially begun to teach Huang Maoshan some necessary chemical knowledge......

It's hard to say whether he can become his right-hand man in the future, but let him take charge of some more secretive research, Wei Ming thinks there should be no problem.

The study of chemicals is often accompanied by explosions and toxicity......

Therefore, it is imperative to buy another mansion, after all, Wei Ming doesn't want Huang Maoshan to put the laboratory at home.

"Then take your shoulders!"

Seeing that Wei Ming had made up his mind, Guo Xi no longer stopped him, after all, although the salt shop was a partnership, and he still wanted to continue to cooperate......

But in the end, the money he got was Wei Ming's own, and even if he was not happy, there was nothing he could do.

Because of the existence of the laboratory, Wei Ming, the new house, has relatively low requirements for others in addition to its size and remoteness.

Because of this, after two days of searching, a house in Pingyuan Fang was taken down by Wei Ming at a price of twenty-five taels of silver.

Although the house here is slightly dilapidated, but the size is nearly half larger than the house of Changshoufang, the reason why it can be won at a low price of twenty-five taels is naturally nothing more than because Pingyuan Fang is not only located in the most remote corner of Chang'an City, but also has nothing to do with the environment and public security.

But fortunately, the mansion here only exists as a laboratory and a place for salt purification, whether it is Dahu or Huang Maoshan, they come in the morning and leave at night, and there will be nothing valuable in the house overnight......

Therefore, in general, Wei Ming felt that there would be no problem.

However, because he intends to focus on cultivating Huang Maoshan, the burden of refining salt will now gradually be handled by Dahu alone, and it is inevitable that more people will have to be added in the near future.

Fortunately, now, Wei Ming's talent source is much wider than before.

Whether it is Tao Village or the cement factory, it is enough to become a testing ground for him to select people, and it can be regarded as having a few favorite candidates......

As long as the other party has passed the test of character and ability, it can be used at any time.

So in this regard, Wei Ming is not too worried.

Stayed in the Ping'anfang Mansion for a few days, while further improving the salt purification process, while teaching Huang Maoshan some more basic chemical knowledge, just when Wei Ming thought that his laziness was about to end like this, the team of Gao Xianzhi and his entourage who returned to Chang'an from Anxi finally came with news.

Gao Xianzhi sat on horseback, looking at Chang'an, which was getting closer and closer, and his heart was full of sorrow.

Among them, there are not only those who were young men who once left Chang'an, but now they have gray temples, and the sighs of thirty years have passed with a snap of their fingers, and more, they are still the chagrin of the defeat of the Green Ridge, and the chagrin that the reputation of the first generation is not guaranteed.

Behind him, thousands of soldiers followed.

These soldiers either have disabilities left over from the battlefield or injuries that are still festering, or they are not young.

For the Guanzhong homeland that they were about to return, their expressions were even more dazed than Gao Xianzhi......

After all, the Tang Dynasty implemented the government military system, which means that in addition to the Yulin Army and other military branches, the remaining soldiers were recruited to the battlefield when needed, and after the war was completed, they were disarmed and returned to the field.

After returning from this defeat, there are very few people who can get some rewards such as tired meritorious officials or acres of land after disarming.

The vast majority of the remaining people are afraid that after returning to Chang'an and distributing some scattered silver taels at will, the imperial court will have to dissolve on the spot and fend for themselves.

These soldiers, who have been fighting abroad for less than ten years, may be more than ten or twenty years long, and their relatives and friends in their hometowns are either no longer there, or they have been estranged......

Thinking of returning to his hometown at this age, he had almost nothing but scars, so in the barracks in the middle of the night, he sighed constantly!

I don't know how many people have secretly made up their minds that after arriving in Chang'an, they must find a way to make a living on the spot, even if they starve to death, they will not return to their hometowns and be embarrassed!

When the first snowflakes fell, the team had already entered the territory of Chang'an.

At the request of Gao Xianzhi and other generals, although all the soldiers had to brace their spirits and prepare for the return of heroes to face the people who began to appear on both sides of the road, the depression and powerlessness in their hearts were even heavier......

Looking at the strong appearance of this team, the mood of Zhang Xiaojing and other bad people was as heavy as the lead-gray sky.

After all, he and many of them were all born in martial arts before, and Zhang Xiaojing himself was more directly a member of the Anxi Army, so they all knew very well what this returning soldier was thinking at the moment!

Just as these soldiers were holding on, marching forward amid the sparse clapping of hands, and the loneliness of the hero's return was almost as cold as the wind, several horses trotted in......

The knights on top of the number of horses all hold long poles, on which hang festive banners with countless large characters.

"A certain is Guo Xi, on behalf of General Zuo's mansion, come up and down to greet me, and warmly welcome the smooth triumph of my Tang Anxi Iron Army!"

"Wei Youlin, a porcelain factory in Xitao Village, Chang'an City, on behalf of Wei's porcelain factory in Tao Village, warmly welcomes the smooth return of Gao Jiedu, Datang Wansheng, Anxi Tiejun Wansheng!"

"A certain is the Chang'an Gongxing refined salt monopoly, warmly welcome the return of the warriors of my Tang Anxi Iron Army!"

As if fearing that many of the soldiers in the team would not be able to read, the knights not only trotted all the way with long banners in their hands, but also shouted at the top of their voices......

Driven by a group of people, the people who welcomed the return of Gao Xianzhi's team finally had a warm atmosphere, and the faces of the soldiers who were originally strong began to smile, and from time to time they talked about what this porcelain factory is for, and what is this refined salt monopoly......

Listening to the fact that not only the soldiers began to talk about the monopoly of refined salt in the porcelain factory, but even the people around them began to discuss, and a group of bad people scolded these profiteers for doing everything they could, and at the same time, they also showed smiling faces on their faces......

After all, they all saw the smiles on the faces of those soldiers, not the kind that was strong, but the kind that came from the heart.

Zhang Xiaojing didn't pay attention to these, he was just looking at one person.

On the slowest running pony, he also held a long pole banner, and the calligrapher signed to greet the Anxi Iron Army, and stammered and shouted a certain Wei Ming, representing the thousands of people in the craftsman's office, greeting General Gao, greeting the Anxi Iron Army and other teenagers......

"It turns out that this guy's name is Wei Ming!"

While Zhang Xiaojing said in his heart, he noticed that Wei Ming appeared in the finale, and there were signs of dominance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile a little, and he said that he could come up with this guy who welcomed the return of the army and advertised by the way, I am afraid that he must be!
