Three months of long voyage, these three months is indeed too long, finally returned to the Ming Dynasty, a group of people were warmly received, countless people around, countless spies poured into Qingzhou, they are all curious, Lord Guogong went to the mysterious island in the East, what is the purpose, what did he bring back?

And Xiao Chuan was thinking about the problem of making a steam engine, returned to this homeland, and began to think about his steam ship, relying on this sailing ship, transporting the wealth of the New World is too slow, going back and forth for six months, and the princess came to a factory, which is where he had done it a long time ago, the princess looked strange, and did not understand what he was doing with him? The unpleasant smell of rubber came, and the princess tried to cover her nose with a handkerchief, but she gave up on this plan when she saw that Xiaochuan looked indifferent.

There are barrels of rubber all around, and the rubber transported from the New World came to this place, and the princess on the side looked at the barrels around her strangely, and there were strange machines, she knew that this was what Ogawa got from defeating the Spaniards, this is it? That white gel? I don't understand what this is doing, "Childe, the slave family thinks that you can ask for money that day, and it is useless to poke strange things like this!" ”

"Soon you will understand his use, this is white gold" Ogawa said with a smile, the rubber in front of him was poured into the buckets, and they first performed simple processing to become the soles of shoes! It is the sole, rubber shoes are the first step to make their own, the original cloth shoes are a guy who relies on craftsmanship, and the manufacturing is complex, how can there be rubber shoes wear-resistant.

One by one, the workers began to make the rubber into soles, rubber shoes, took a finished product to see, pinched, the princess covered her mouth, pinched the shoe, with a kind of shock on her snow-white face, he put the shoe on the ground and grinded, and the little green on the side said strangely, "Isn't it a black hard thing?" ”

"This is a new shoe!" The princess's big jewel-like eyes were shocked, small things, he saw the convenience of making this shoe, as well as his wear-resistant, which can be worn for a long time, and this kind of output speed, this thing will not feel worn on the mountain, and this terrifying manufacturing quantity, how many kinds of such shoes can be made in Daming? She didn't know, and said, "You don't know, this thing is so convenient to make, wearing it on the feet, so that the soldiers can march quickly!" It is extremely convenient for the people, and the surrounding merchants will inevitably flock to it."

"This thing is made, and a batch should be sent to Xuanda" Xiaochuan said, Xuanda became a fragrant gluttony at the moment, and Daming began to seek an army in the north that could compete with the Guanning army to prevent it from becoming dominant! And the people in the south hoped that he could resist the Qing army and defend the border.

On the side is another thing, a black circle, which is filled with gas, instead of the original wheel, pneumatic tires, this is another thing, this thing replaces wooden wheels, which can greatly reduce costs, do not need to keep changing wheels, and can absorb shocks, which is more convenient.

**************

The streets in the morning are extremely lively, from the new continent brought back a new thing called rubber, businessmen from the north and south have come to Qingzhou, to see what the so-called rubber is, as for the transportation from overseas to here, the stalls have put a pair of shoes, they are a little disappointed, they came to Qingzhou all the way to this shoes?

These shoes are not like the original cloth shoes with a thousand layers of soles, but a rubber bottom, which looks very thick, that is, a very strong appearance, and some people invite a grinder to put the cloth shoes and rubber shoes on it for comparison, and the one who sells things is to drink and sell. "This thing is called rubber shoes, and it is very comfortable to wear" The grinder grinds the soles of the shoes, but it is difficult to hurt them too much, and when you take the cloth shoes, you will be scraped off a layer by the grinder.

Everyone was shocked, those merchants saw the convenience of this thing at a glance, how long can such a hard sole be worn? Moreover, the convenience of shuttling between the mountains, so the mountain people must like to wear these shoes to shuttle, and the merchant understood what this prince had brought back from the New World, and once this shoe was taken out, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

"These shoes are so thick," a group of onlookers were stunned, and Han Gang looked at the shoes on his feet in the distance, and said, "It's really a good thing, so thick and wear-resistant, and it's very soft to wear on your feet."

"If you go somewhere in the future, you can't follow the group of Shenji Battalion, Lao Han, you don't know, this group of guys is now in spirit, rubber tires, and the new shoes, just like the New Year. Look at these embroidered pillows," he said, with a different kind of anger. "They came back with all kinds of treasures, and Xu Wenjue also took one the size of an egg."

"Isn't it, the most annoying, I want to give Cao Bianjiao's kid a batch of such good shoes, ouch, and tires, I really feel sorry for the old Han me" Han Gang beat his chest and paused, feeling the anger in his heart/

"Brother don't be angry, you must know that Xuanda is likely to go south soon to suppress bandits! Shaanxi thieves have resurged, and some of them have raised the banner of breaking into the army! Han Tie's younger brother on the side said, everyone looked strange? Breaking into the army, Han Gang said, "Who in the world dares to use the banner of Li Zicheng?" Could it be that Li Zicheng is not dead? ”

"Impossible, there are no less than 1,000 people who have died in the capital, how can this Li Zicheng also be among the dead people, and his old camp has almost lost it" Wang Youcai said, thinking that it is impossible, Li Zicheng can recover in this situation? They don't think it's possible?

"Shanxi Rogue!" A group of people understood, no wonder they sent gifts to Xuanda, it turned out that they wanted them to suppress the bandits, exterminate the thieves, and the thieves in Shaanxi rebounded, and it is possible that Li Zicheng was not exterminated, Li Zicheng was difficult, and they all understood the degree of suffering to eliminate him, and gave him an old camp of hundreds of people, Li Zicheng would soon be able to pull up a thief army of tens of thousands of people, ability, this is his ability.

These other people understood why they wanted to give Xuanda weapons, as well as shoes and tires, to help themselves suppress the bandits, Han Gang swallowed and said, "Damn, why is this guy so dead, he is not dead yet!" "He thought it was incredible!

"It's been more than ten years, and it's been more than ten years since he started the army, how many times have he escaped death!" Han Tie shook his head, with a worry on his face. "The thief is difficult to deal with, not combative, and his ability to escape for his life, as well as his repeated battles, every time he is defeated, people do not die, then another army appears, this is the most difficult to deal with."
