During this period of time, Lin Dan Khan was greatly touched, especially the mountain artillery, which was almost tailor-made for cavalry.

Under the persuasion of Namu Zhong, Lin Dan Khan finally recognized Li Zicheng's status as the Khan king, and Li Zicheng became suitable for his status as the pope, and proclaimed himself the "Khan of Heavenly Destiny"!

In mid-September, under the influence of Namu Zhong, Lin Dan Khan began to enter and leave the church, and then both of them were baptized by Li Zicheng and officially became "children of God".

Li Zicheng also reciprocated by pardoning Lin Dan Khan as a "priest", while Namu Zhong was slightly lower and was given an "elder". If Lin Dan Khan and Namu Zhong can contribute to the spread of God's gospel, they can be upgraded in the future.

At the same time, the Firearms Bureau had already produced rifles for 500 households for Qin Danian's department, bringing the number of rifles for the 3,000th household to 100 households.

Li Zicheng asked Qin Danian to seize the time to train the gunners, and once the technology of the rifle was mature, all the five hundred gunners would be upgraded to soldiers.

He already had the idea of attacking Xichuan, and once Qin Danian's training was over, the matter of marching into Xichuan might be put on the agenda.

In the history of later generations, "Li Zicheng" does not seem to have taken advantage of Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong, another general of the Volunteer Army, fell to Sichuan as emperor, but when he came to this world, history has partially changed.

He is no longer a rogue who is chased by the imperial court, but has established a base with Xining as the center from the beginning, and now it has expanded to Ganzhou and Longyou.

With a base area, it has its own supply of troops and materials, but at the same time, it also has a drawback, that is, it needs to solve the food problem by itself.

But now is the period of the Xiaoice River, the temperature in the northern region is low, the rain is low, and there are droughts in many places, how not to want to destroy the agricultural foundation, it is difficult to always revolve around a few northern provinces like the rebels in later generations.

During the Xiaoice period, it had almost no impact on the south, so the southern region was still smooth and the agricultural output was extremely high.

If the Mandate of Heaven Army does not have the ability to destroy the imperial army in a war, it is better to develop to the south, and Sichuan is an extremely ideal province, Li Zicheng has long taken a fancy to the "country of abundance".

However, it is already late autumn, and Qin Danian's department still needs training for the time being, and it is very likely that the mountain will be closed by heavy snow in winter, and the passage is extremely unfavorable, and the best time is still in next spring.

Li Zicheng took advantage of the maturity of soap technology to open a soap factory in Xining City, with Lu Wenhai, a dilapidated merchant in the city, as the factory director.

Since the price of raw materials is not high, he estimates that if he does not pursue high profits, the price of soap should not be too high, and he wonders whether the people in Xining have enough purchasing power.

Soap is different from distilled spirits, glass, perfume and other luxury goods, it will enter thousands of households, the factory will make a profit at the same time, it will also bring benefits to the people, so that the people can enjoy the dividends brought by industry and commerce, if the price is high, the people have no purchasing power, and the origin of soap has no sales.

However, thinking that soap would be sold to Jingshi, Jiangnan and other places in the future, he had a new idea: in the territory of the Mandate of Heaven, the protective price is implemented, that is, small profits but quick turnover, but outside the territory of the Mandate of Heaven, it is still sold as a luxury item for the time being, and the maximum profit is pursued as much as possible.

This price difference between the inside and outside can also have some unexpected drawbacks, such as the fact that merchants may buy soap in the name of locals and smuggle it out of their territory to sell.

If you have time to do a good job in the production of soap, you have to discuss it with Shijun, maybe he has a good way to solve it.

In October, the weather cools down suddenly, and the north wind sweeps the leaves mercilessly, and most of the branches are already bare, except for a few evergreens.

Lin Dan Khan and Namu Zhong wanted to go back to Datong Mountain for the winter, so they came to bid farewell to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng fulfilled his promise, gave Lin Danhan some tea and rifle bullets, and gave Namu Zhong things, in addition to the two bottles of perfume originally mentioned, there were also a lot of soaps.

They will be accompanied by a number of Catholic missionaries, who will go to the Datong Mountains and the Great Grass Beach to preach the Gospel of God to the Mongols.

Lin Dan Khan and they had only been walking for less than two days, and the sky was full of snowflakes, at first it was just snow hail, and in the afternoon, as the north wind strengthened, the temperature dropped continuously, and the sparse snow hail also turned into snowflakes in the sky.

The temperature dropped, and it snowed heavily, and many outdoor things of the Mandate of Heaven had to be stopped, at least the bridge repair team and the road repair team could not work for the time being.

But Li Zicheng welcomed the heavy snowfall, because the temperature in winter was low, and the pests hiding underground froze to death, so that next year's crops would have a good harvest.

More importantly, heavy snow can bring a certain amount of precipitation, and in these territories of the Mandate of Heaven, fresh water is very precious, and where there is enough fresh water, crops will grow.

Li Zicheng had nothing to do, so he went to the school to see Guo Shijun's progress in teaching during this time.

But when Guo Shijun saw Li Zicheng, he immediately had a bitter face, "Metropolitan Governor, although his subordinates have exhausted all methods, the teaching progress has not been able to go up, and it is impossible to let them complete their studies before the new yuan, and it is impossible to ...... at all."

Li Zicheng nodded and signaled, the students could not complete their studies on time, the main reason was still on Li Zicheng, he originally prepared the students to graduate in three years, but because of the war, he was often not in Xining, at least ten days, more than half a year, there is not enough time to guarantee, how can the students graduate smoothly?

Of course, there is also a possibility that when Guo Shijun was a professor at "N University" in his later life, his students were basically adults, and suddenly faced with such a group of little girls who had no foundation, maybe there were some problems in teaching methods.

People always have their own habitual thinking!

However, Li Zicheng doesn't have to worry, it's a big deal to extend their study time, "How long will it take?" May next year? ”

Guo Shijun nodded, "If it's continuous, it should be about the same." ”

"Isn't that the end of it? Let's officially open a primary school in Xining in the second half of next year," Li Zicheng smiled, "Shijun, you are not young, do you want to marry an aunt?" ”

"Auntie?" Guo Shijun smiled, "My subordinates are so busy now that their feet don't get dusty, how can they be in the mood to care about this?" He sighed and said, "I am busy teaching and making laws for the governors, and to be honest, this is not the strength of my subordinates......

"I know that Shijun's strength lies in education, but unfortunately, now the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion does not have enough money to establish education on a large scale, and this is always more suitable than others for formulating all kinds of laws, I don't need to copy the "Da Ming Law", but to formulate a set of laws in the modern sense, at most there is a certain transition period."

"The subordinates know that the subordinates are not complaining, they are too busy......"

"That's why it is more necessary for someone to take care of Shijun's daily diet and daily life," Li Zicheng smiled evilly: "Shijun has been teaching these days, isn't it possible that none of the students in the school are ...... match?"

"This ......" Guo Shijun's old face turned red, but he did not refuse, but narrowed his eyes and thought deeply.

Li Zicheng was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Shijun don't need to be nervous, after all, it is the Ming era, their age is not too young, and there is no need to worry about the identity of teachers and students, Shijun is just teaching for me temporarily......"

“……”

"Who does Shijun fancie, I will personally be a matchmaker when I say it," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Famous flowers and masters, Shijun can't touch them!" ”

"How dare your subordinates touch the women of the Grand Duke? The subordinates are just teaching normally......"

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, he wasn't worried about Sun Mengjie and them, but Li Dan, who was his eldest uncle Sun Lin's friend, "Another point, no matter who Shijun fancies, he will go to Xining Primary School to teach in the future, but they have a contract, and they can't be favoritism!" ”

"This is nature, subordinates are making laws, and they naturally want to set an example......"

"That's good," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Shijun is going to see it right, I'm waiting to drink Shijun's wedding wine, once she graduates, Shijun will get married!" "Governor, I haven't written a word yet......

"Shijun, follow the local customs, don't have obstacles in your heart......"

Guo Shijun was silent, but nodded, he was somewhat pedantic, no wonder he was not as good as this student, but the current working environment is at least more comfortable than that of later generations, even if he is tired of work, he finally has his own pursuit, and his mood is always more comfortable, but I don't know if the Metropolitan Governor has the ability to take charge of Huaxia and where he can bring Huaxia to.

I should still help him more......

"Sejun, I have one more question to ask." Li Zicheng said the soap as it was.

Guo Shijun thought for a moment and said: "The Metropolitan Governor wants to take care of the local people, which is originally the gospel of the local people, but if there are two prices, and the difference is huge, it may cause a series of problems, at least there will be a 'resale', which will go against the original intention of the Metropolitan Governor." ”

"I also have this doubt," Li Zicheng has also heard of the "scalpers" who resell bills, just to earn the price difference, "Shijun can solve it?" ”

Guo Shijun didn't speak, obviously thinking.

Li Zicheng is anxious, soap is a commodity used by thousands of households, is the best opportunity for modern industrial products to enter the people's homes and let the people get in touch with modern industry, once the people come into contact with modern industry, it will stimulate their enthusiasm for industry, and businesses will also fuel the flames and accelerate the development of industry for profit, is this just a luxury for themselves?

"Governor, there is," Guo Shijun suddenly slapped the square table with his hand, "Supply with tickets!" ”

Li Zicheng was startled at first, but Guo Shijun's idea still attracted him deeply, "Shijun means ......"

"The soap factory Xining is the only one, and the governor can use the power of the government to issue tickets to the people in the form of benefits, and the people can only buy them with the tickets."

"What does Shijun mean, by the way, you can also build momentum for the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion?"

"This is the grace of the Grand Duke, why don't you let the people know about it?" Guo Shijun's eyes lit up, and he danced excitedly, "Governor, aren't the local governments re-registering their household registration?" Especially let those people who have just been naturalized know that only by following the Mandate of Heaven army will they have benefits. ”

"Haha, I understand," Li Zicheng was overjoyed, "When the people know the internal and external prices, they will increase their sense of happiness, and the people on the earth will firmly follow the pace of the Heavenly Mandate Army," Li Zicheng was faintly worried, "If the merchant forcibly buys the tickets in the hands of the people......"

"It's okay," Guo Shijun still frowned, "The real-name system, on the tickets issued to the people of each household, their names are marked and issued by the government, and the people can take the tickets to the soap sales point to buy, and all tickets without the real-name system will not sell soap." ”

"Sejun's experience is rich!" Li Zicheng stretched out his thumb and praised.

Guo Shijun also thought of a question, "Now the people on the earth of the Heavenly Mandate Army, there are still many poor families with no surplus wealth, if they can't afford to buy it, the ticket can be invalidated!" ”

"No, those who are poor and cannot afford to buy, as long as they are willing, the government will guarantee them, and they can give them credit for one year, without interest," Li Zicheng said: "They owe debts, so naturally they have to find a way to go to various factories to work, which is a good choice, I have already informed Lu Wenhai that all the operation of the soap factory must be done in accordance with the laws of the market, and the workers are absorbed from the ordinary people, and they must no longer rely on the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven." ”

"The fact that the Metropolitan Governor runs a factory in this way is naturally in line with the laws of the factory itself, and it is also fair competition for other factories to appear in the future," Guo Shijun said: "It's just a matter of the people taking credit and the government as a guarantee, and if it is not done well, it will become a big burden for the government......

"If the people really can't pay off their debts, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will return it for them, the amount will not be too large," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I just want the people to come into contact with industrial products, so I will do publicity for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and it will be easier for all kinds of schools to recruit students in the future!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor...... Subordinates understood! ”
