Chapter 476: Pus and Corpse Fluid

Although in the "Drunk and Immortal" series, the sales price of liquor in the Jiannu-controlled area was more than three times the sales price of Daming Jingshi.

But even so, Jiannu still thinks that it is too cheap and cost-effective, and he can eat a pound of food less by drinking a few sips of wine, and the price is almost the same.

Houjin robbed a large amount of gold and silver, which directly led to the depreciation of precious metals and high prices, and because of the serious shortage of grain, the price of grain remained even higher.

In the year of the Apocalypse, there was a sky-high price of five taels of silver for a bucket of miscellaneous grains, and now the grain of Houjin is also about three or five times the price of the grain of the Ming Jingshi, and a stone of miscellaneous grain will not be less than five taels of silver.

Due to the extremely high price of grain in Houjin, the long-distance transportation of grain from Zhangjiakou can bear the risk and the consumption along the way and can also make a lot of profits, so that the Shanxi traitors who are not afraid of hardship and danger can kill their mothers and sell Lao Tzu for profit resolutely go to make a fortune.

It is well known that wine is made of grain, and the popularity of the cheap and high-quality drunken immortal series liquor after entering the Jiannu market can be imagined.

The nine merchants who had obtained the right to operate believed that they had taken advantage of the grain embargo and purchased liquor on a large scale to send it to Jiannu.

As a direct result, the new crops in the "Red Banner Army" system, potatoes and sweet potatoes, became fragrant and sweet, so that many wine-making workshops and a large number of craftsmen received good incomes.

At present, the enthusiasm of the tun households and self-cultivated farmers in the "Red Flag Army" system to plant new crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peppers is high, and it is estimated that the proportion of acres of land in Chongzhen in six years will be as high as 30%.

In this era, winemaking was a completely labor-intensive industry, employing many workers, half of which were in the system promulgated by Huang Han in a form of explicit regulations.

This rule is simple and well enforced, that is, the proportion of women in a brewery must not be less than half, and the owner who violates the rule is punished by three to ten times the tax due.

In order to prevent landlords, businessmen, and capitalists from being blackmailed, the "Red Banner Army" system promulgated a series of regulations to protect workers, including minimum wages and daily working hours.

Now the merchants and the owners know that the hired workers must not work more than five hours a day, they must be given three days of paid holidays every month, and the labor remuneration of the lowest workers must not be less than 600 copper coins per month.

The nine major merchants who obtained the right to operate Liaohai all made a lot of money last year by doing several ships of trade, and they shipped goods to Gaizhou as soon as spring began this year.

, Ma Yuanyi, Ye Zifan and other eight doctors and more than 200 young medical apprentices smeared the collected things that they thought had viruses on the outside of wine jars and wine bottles.

Of course, the silk and cotton cloth will not forget, in short, as long as the goods are transported to the Jiannu side, they will do their tricks.

Their approach was disgusting, and they found dozens of smallpox wanderers out of nowhere, and of course they died in serious condition, and the mortality rate of smallpox was more than 30%, and this was still when doctors provided treatment and care.

In fact, with Daming's medical methods and knowledge of the source of infection, Shen Langzhong and the other eight people had a good judgment on what was the best vector to carry the virus, so they tried as much as they could.

It is also because the commercial liquor sold to Jiannu accounts for the majority, so it does the most on wine bottles and wine jars.

In order to get more viruses, Shen Langzhong and Ma Yuanyi ordered the medical cadets not to bury the deceased infected with smallpox for the time being, but to smear the pus and corpse fluid on the deceased's body to the wine jar, and then told Sun Moon Shipping to do its best to deliver it to Gaizhou as quickly as possible.

Although there has been no large-scale outbreak in the Jiannu-controlled area this year, the number of people infected with smallpox is quite large, and it is not known whether the bacteriological warfare launched by eight doctors has had an effect.

It stands to reason that it should be, because history records that Yue Tuo died of smallpox infection in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, if Yue Tuo was infected this time but did not die, he should never die of smallpox infection again, but he just became Mazi Yue Tuo, which is contrary to history.

The smallpox infection of the imprisoned Amin must have been the result of close contact with the contaminated wine jar, and the same may be true of Mang Gultai.

It's just that the spread of the epidemic is often in densely populated areas, and Houjin is definitely sparsely populated, and it seems that the effect of bacteriological warfare is not obvious.

The red gangsters, who were very busy, got the report and learned that Kong Youde, the former staff general of Dongjiang Town, and Geng Zhongming, a guerrilla general, had brought two or three thousand people to defect, and they didn't believe it at all.

He immediately summoned Geng Zhongming and prepared to personally inquire about the ins and outs to judge the authenticity.

Geng Zhongming, who was determined to be a traitor and traitor, knelt down and kowtowed and crawled when he saw that the red gangster was far away, and then he honestly introduced the situation of Denglai in the past year, and cried that they brought more than 13,000 people to the sea, and the original intention was to take Zhenjiang Fort and present it to the Great Khan.

Unfortunately, Huang Han's calculations were made, and the "Red Banner Army" arranged dozens of warships equipped with a large number of artillery on the sea to ambush the fleet that was preparing to defect to the Dajin Kingdom, and in the end they lost more than 10,000 people and all the ships, and only less than 3,000 people were able to enter the Dajin Kingdom.

The red gang learned that the main generals of Toucheng, such as Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, were all bringing their families with them, and felt that Geng Zhongming's explanation was credible.

Because Geng Zhongming kept saying that God blessed him, the time when he was ambushed by the "Red Banner Army" water camp coincided with the heavy fog, so that they were able to escape by luck, otherwise they might be buried at the bottom of the sea.

The next situation is simple, the red gang accepted Kong Youde, these Ming traitors.

It's just that it was not given to high-ranking officials as in history, only Kong Youde was given a first-class general and Geng Zhongming was given a second-class general, and the rest were also given official positions.

That is because the red gang thinks that God blesses Kong Youde and his gang with the fog to get the opportunity to return to the Dajin Kingdom, and also blesses the Dajin Kingdom to enhance its strength, so Chrysostom Yuyan gave the name "Tianyou Army".

The sea black and black play is not perfect, thousands of people ran, Huang Han regretted but helpless, through the arraignment of the thousands of rebels finally roughly knew which rebels ran away, Huang Han couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

It seems that it is not too easy to change the fate of the cattle level in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming and other characters all belong to the level of Xiaoqiang, and they are not easy to be killed.

A group of traitors didn't die, Huang Han didn't care at all, and intercepting all the ships, many artillery pieces and gunners, sailors, and thousands of murderous veterans would directly lead Kong, Geng and other traitors to go to Jiannu, and it would not hurt.

At least the traitors have no troops, no sailors and artillery, and it is difficult to do anything if they want to, after all, the Jinzhou defense line at this time is not trivial, and the strength of Dongjiang Town is far greater than history.
