Chapter 222: For Cotton

can save the face of his wife, Qin Mu must sell it.

In any case, the Yongbyon glass factory is open. The one Qin Mu made before was not a regular factory, at most it was a laboratory experiment, but it was a complete success. Now that he is going to officially set up a factory, he has to listen to Qin Mu's opinion - he has no experience.

So Qin Mu had to start building a glass factory while making medicines. I'm busy half to death every day, but I can't rest early at night, and a lot of things need to be solved at meetings, which makes Zhe Meifeng extremely dissatisfied, how can I say that I am also a new daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, does my brother-in-law feel new to himself?

She thought about it and felt that she had suffered from her sister's loss. After all, she and Meiluan are exactly the same, not only in appearance, but also in key bodies, which makes Qin Mu have no freshness.

No, Meifeng decided that this situation must be changed. For the first time in her life, she felt that she and her sister were exactly the same twins, and she let herself suffer.

Qin Mu couldn't understand Meifeng's mentality, and he didn't have time to understand.

After taking Ningbian City, Qin Mu suddenly found that the plan was far from catching up with the changes.

He began with a grand plan, with the Zhejia army as the forerunner and the Guards Regiment as the main force, relying on force to seize the three cities of Xiahetao. Then, with the three cities as a base, he began to operate the entire Lower Hetao area.

Qin Mu has studied history. In history, many major events occurred in the fourth year of Xuanhe, the most critical of which was the destruction of the Liao State.

Just this year, the Jin State conquered the Zhongjing of the Liao State, that is, the capital of the Liao State, which made the Liao State actually extinct the country. The few remaining Liao people occupy Nanjing-Nanjing, the Nanjing of the Liao State, here, the Jin State, the Liao State, the Song State, a big war, and finally the Great Song Dynasty was beaten by chickens and dogs, which was miserable.

The battle of Baigou River and the defeat of the Song army happened precisely this year.

This is Qin Mu's strategic opportunity period, and he must firmly grasp it. Because at this time, the Jin State, the remnants of the Liao State, and the Great Song Dynasty were all attracted to the place of Nanjing in the Liao State, and it was impossible for them to manage it on the Xiahetao side.

And Western Xia has never patronized here, even if they take advantage of the fire to rob, Qin Mu is not afraid. The Zhejia army was not afraid of Western Xia, not to mention that it now had the Guards Regiment as its backing.

The plans are huge, but the changes are even greater.

Qin Mu didn't expect that he would take Ningbian City without bloodshed, and after taking it, he found that he was no longer able to open up.

Those two cities, Qin Mu can take them down at any time, but what's the use of taking them down? He can't be busy with just such a city as Yongbyon, and taking two more cities can only be a burden.

Not only is the Zhejia unable to get so many civil affairs talents now, but even the Guards Regiment cannot do without Yongbyon City. Otherwise, the construction of the city will come to a halt immediately, and this task will not be accomplished by one person alone.

It's not that he is not good enough, in Qin Mu's opinion, this second uncle is already very good, it's just that it is too difficult to build a new city and transform an old agricultural city into a semi-industrial city. Far from being able to afford it in a discounted way.

It's true that plans never catch up with change. So the meetings are always ongoing.

Tonight's meeting was particularly important, as it was attended not only by all the senior officers of the Guards Regiment, but also by the brothers of the Ori family.

"This is cotton," Qin Mu said, turning his tablet around and letting everyone see it clearly: "The uniforms of our Guards Regiment are made of cotton spun into cloth. ”

It turned out to be this thing. Zhe Kecun looked at the cotton on the screen and nodded repeatedly. He once asked Qin Mu what kind of cloth the military uniform of the Guards Regiment was made of, but this Great Song Dynasty did not. At that time, Qin Mu told him that it was cotton cloth, but there was no cotton in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was not clear what it was.

All he knew was that the uniforms of the Guards looked very powerful and at the same time very warm. Far stronger than linen. Now it's all understood. It turned out to be made of cotton.

"Cotton, not only can be used to make cloth, but more importantly, we need cotton for our weapons. Therefore, cotton is a strategic material, and its status can be compared with oil and steel. ”

Hearing the regiment commander say this, the senior officers of the Guards Regiment were all moved.

They understood that the weapons in their hands were epoch-making, but because they were epoch-making, the Great Song Dynasty did not, and it all relied on the regiment commander to purchase them in China.

Self-reliance was taught to them by Qin Mu all the time. All the hard work that the Guards Regiment is doing now is to be able to produce everything in the Great Song Dynasty.

Since cotton is related to the weapons of the Guards Regiment, how can Shi Yi and the others not care.

"Cotton is so important, we have to address it now. This thing is very rare in the Great Song Dynasty, or there is none, but this is not an uncommon thing, there are many in the Western Regions. Therefore, I decided to send a section of the Guards Regiment to set off immediately to purchase cotton seeds in the Western Regions. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Mu turned to the Zhi family brothers and said, "In this matter, I also have to ask the Zhi family army to help." ”

Zhe Kecun looked at his eldest brother, and when he saw that Zhe Keqiu didn't speak, he understood in his heart that his brother agreed, and he immediately said: "Brother-in-law, no problem, you can do what you say." ”

Agree on the strategic direction, and the details will be easy to handle.

However, it is difficult to plan and execute.

This burden finally fell on Liu Yunfei's shoulders.

The Guards Regiment decided that Liu Yunfei would lead his second company, and at the same time strengthen his two artillery squads, and set off for the Western Regions.

At this time, the Western Regions were the territory of the Uighurs, and they were still in the west of Western Xia. If you go there, you have to pass through the territory of Western Xia, otherwise you have to take a detour to the prairie. There is no road in the prairie, so it is even more dangerous.

So it is necessary to go to Western Xia. A troop of more than 100 people, walking in the territory of the enemy's country, makes people feel numb in the scalp when they think about it. However, Liu Yunfei didn't feel this way, on the contrary, his whole body was full of excitement.

I'm finally on my own.

Liu Yunfei knows very well that this is an opportunity, and it is a huge opportunity.

He originally thought that this attack on the three cities of Liao State was a good time for him to make contributions, but he didn't expect that the regiment commander would take down Ningbian City alone, and the Guards Regiment would not have a chance to make a move at all, so he naturally had no chance to perform.

Moreover, the other two cities are no longer fighting, and they are engaged in construction all day long. Although construction is also necessary, or even more important, Liu Yunfei joined the army since he was a child, and he has the blood of a soldier in his bones, and he is more willing to fight.

Now that Qin Mu has given him this task, he alone led a company of the Guards Regiment to go deep into the Western Regions to collect cotton seeds, is there still a shortage of battles along the way?

Although Qin Mu had talked to him in detail at the meeting and in private afterwards, the number of troops was too small, so he tried to value peace as much as possible, and the purpose was to get cotton seeds.

But Liu Yunfei was very aware of Qin Mu's weaknesses.

After all, the head of the regiment is not from the Great Song Dynasty, he is from China, and he does not understand the cruelty of this world at all.

War is not something you want to avoid. The Guards Regiment went deep into the Western Regions, although it was also under the guise of doing business, but since it was doing business, it would inevitably carry a large number of goods, so robbery was indispensable. Where there is so much fair buying.

But I can't say this to the head of the regiment. Sometimes Liu Yunfei felt that Qin Mu was a little bookish.

He also learned in detail about the course of the first battle of Jiashan. After the Guards Regiment arrived at Yongbyon, Qin Mu gathered all the officers and soldiers and explained the war in detail.

From the beginning to the end, how the enemy behaved, how he responded, there are summaries and video materials. Except for hiding the news of Emperor Tianzuo from the soldiers, everything else was shown to all the guards without reservation.

Qin Mu needed them to seize every opportunity to learn. The Battle of Jiashan is a very good example. This is not to fight more with less, to defeat the strong with the weak, but purely to take advantage of the situation, and the fisherman to benefit.

This can be said to go beyond war and have reached the strategic level. Qin Mu very much hoped that the soldiers of the Guards Regiment could improve quickly, so he spared no effort to teach them, not only would he not hide his secrets, but he was afraid that they would not learn thoroughly enough.

From the stone relics downward, everyone admires the head of the regiment even more. It turns out that the battle can be so big, and it is not purely relying on epoch-making weapons.

No wonder the regiment commander said that it is always people who decide the victory or defeat of a war, not one or two advanced weapons.

He also thought that if he was on the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms melee and was blocked by fire on both sides, it seemed that there was no other way but to wait for death.

Because of this battle, the Guards Regiment has a deeper understanding and admiration for the regimental commander.

The same goes for Liu Yunfei. He just didn't think much of the unbearable reluctance that Qin Mu revealed from time to time in his explanation. A war is nothing if you don't kill all the enemies.

With Qin Mu's example in front, plus his own soldiers armed to the teeth with more than a hundred armed to the teeth, and the reinforcement of two squads of mortars, he felt that he would definitely be able to successfully complete this task, thus adding a heavy honor to his resume.

Strategic materials! I have to do it myself.

And this time, it was his old friend Liang Zhi who was sent by the Zhejiajun to cooperate with him.

The two have been friends for many years, and now they are fighting together, which makes Liu Yunfei very happy.

After a long journey, having an old friend who can talk to you is almost half the shorter journey.

After all, Liu Yunfei is relatively old, and compared with the young soldiers of the Guards Regiment, he belongs to the previous generation.

This made him feel more in crisis. Therefore, they are more eager to make contributions.

Liu Yunfei led the Second Company to prepare for the journey, from grain and horses to goods. The most important thing is the communication equipment. This thing is the most important thing, and with communication equipment, you can keep in touch with the regiment commander at all times.

It was true that he went out to fight, but he resolutely couldn't get the news of Qin Mu, otherwise he wouldn't lose the organization. That is the real detriment to one's own development.

This communication equipment is really an artifact, and it can be contacted at any distance, but the regiment commander also said that the antenna should be set up well.

Deng Cheng, the commander of the artillery company, is the best at setting up antennas, so Liu Yunfei has been immersed in Deng Cheng for the past few days, studying hard.

There were no idlers around Qin Mu, and Jia Hongxian was also very busy.

She was busy calculating.

My cousin made all this out of his hands, and the glass factory was given to the Fold family, but the pharmaceutical factory must not be given to others.

Jia Hongxian is very aware of the power of Huaguo's elixir, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an elixir. She was the first to see the use of antibiotics, and it was she who helped Qin Mu perform the operation on Fang Haoyin, so she understood the value of antibiotics more - life-saving things.

This thing must be held in your own hands. However, I only have one person, not even a brother or sister, who is the right person to hand over the factory?

And the key thing is that the production of this magic medicine requires the use of refrigerators, which is not even available in Wujiazhuang!

No, I have to ask my cousin to get a refrigerator in Wujiazhuang, not to mention medicine, even if it is convenient to eat ice cream.

She was thinking about the pharmaceutical factory, and Fang Haoyin would not let it go. Fang Haoyin was the first to use antibiotics, and now he has learned Chinese medicine, so he naturally knows the importance of antibiotics.

Such a factory should naturally be in its own hands, even in terms of technical classification, it should also be managed by itself.

She can't be a factory director directly. This is Ningbian City, not Wujiazhuang, if you are staring here, you will be too far away from your cousin. As a woman, Fang Haoyin knows very well what is fundamental. No matter how capable she is, she must not leave Qin Mu.

So who will be the factory director? This also made Fang Haoyin embarrassed, and she had no brothers and sisters.

Or Hu Sanniang, or Wu Simiao?

These two can consider considering.

In Qin Mu's harem, everyone is thinking about it, and Zhe Meifeng will not want to. But she didn't care very much, because the refrigerator was in Fuzhou, the pharmaceutical factory was in Yongbyon, and she could move to Fuzhou at any time. All of this is under the control of the Fold family, and those sisters can't rob it.

Compared with cotton, the Zhejia brothers also value pharmaceutical factories more. This thing can save lives!

Qin Mu didn't have time to think about these calculations at all, the thief who was tired just by being busy with work every day died.

The work is getting more and more day by day, and it is never done, no, the work at hand is not finished, and the people of Shunfeng Logistics have arrived again.

Gongsun Shengyun came over.
