In the spare time, in addition to assigning tasks to everyone and finding out news and progress, I honestly write plans and take notes, and by the way, do some manual work.

In front of me, a packet of burnt yellow filaments, with the origin, variety and business name written on the wrapping paper, is the earliest commercial brand, and it is also the highest-end tobacco product that can be bought on the market

Benefiting from the all-powerful traverser predecessor, something called tobacco, and cocoa beans and other imported things that clearly belong to the outer oceans, have appeared in this plane in advance.

But apparently he has little interest in continuing to improve and deepen the development of this product line, so the tobacco products that have been passed down through the generations are still the traditional practice of simply shredding flue-cured tobacco leaves and lighting them in pipes and pipes, which can be filtered with metal, glass, and jade hookahs before smoking, or ground to the end and directly put into something similar to a snuff bottle.

But for me, it's really not technically difficult.

The leftovers left over from the processing of kapok can easily make something like a filter, and then roll it into thin strips with wrapping paper, and the prototype of a modern cigarette appears, and then add other additives and ingredients to the tobacco, such as jasmine, mint and other spices for pei, and products with different flavors and characteristics are born.

The source of raw materials is also extremely extensive, not to mention Guangnan, Annam, these mainland locals, that is, west to South Tianzhu, or east to Yizhou, many foreign island domains, are also widely planted, and even in the fields of ordinary households, in front of the house and behind the house, some will be planted, as a refreshing thing for self-use, I just need to choose the right variety, wedding dress packaging is enough,

In addition, the nitrification ice making method has been discovered in this time and space, which is to use the reverse heat transfer of the double container, in the chemical reaction between the saltpeter and water in the outer container, in the process of absorbing a large amount of heat, the juice and other raw materials in the inner container are condensed into cold drinks such as hypa or smoothies.

Based on this, I added cream and edible gelatin to thickeners from memory to create a more delicate and soft ice cream.

In addition, some samples specially provided by Yuwen Luoluo mainly allow me to give suggestions for improvement and perfection from the standpoint of modern men, so as to explore more value-added space for detailed and deep processing.

For example, in this era, there is already a crude distillation of medicinal alcohol, although it is still very turbid, but after precipitation and filtration, adding perfumes and essential oil products such as rose dew, it has become an exclusive secret recipe product with fumigation and volatile effect.

Then I added sulfur powder to the soaps she produced, so that it became a sulfur soap that can treat skin diseases. This kind of thing has a potential market in Lingnan and even the Indochina Peninsula, where the weather is hot and humid, and there are many skin diseases, as well as many overseas domains.

There is also the deep processing of some seasonings, such as extracting seafood flavor from the aquatic fish caught in the sun and cultivating, making refined oil-consuming, shrimp paste, fish sauce or something, or the spices and condiments that have been owned or discovered in this era, and preparing them according to the memories of later generations.

It's really ashamed to say that thanks to the high development degree and mature system of this world, there are not too many innovative ideas and projects that I want to make as a traverser.

And it is impossible to burst out of thin air a pair of jaw-dropping technological achievements and industrial systems like other traversers.

In contrast, I am more interested in the improvement of firearms.

Although the use of firearms in the Southern Dynasties is very extensive, a large amount of sulfur saltpeter is imported from the mainland and overseas every year, but the level of development is inevitably somewhat uneven, and the army of the Southern Dynasties also pays more attention to throwing explosive weapons, or arson weapons similar to incendiary bombs, but they do not pay much attention to the research and development and improvement of personal weapons, and they are almost laissez-faire.

After all, this kind of cumbersome and complicated thing requires a certain amount of wealth and expertise to play, which is tantamount to raising the threshold in disguise and limiting the possibility of flooding

It's good for me and it's bad.

My unrecognizable flintlock pistol has been completely dismantled and handed over to the masters of the Tiangong to make hand-molds and try to produce the corresponding parts in small batches, and if they can succeed, I will let them try to use similar structural principles to transform things like long-barreled rifles.

To be honest, the copper primer and paper shell fixed ammunition with greater leaps and bounds, for me who likes to bubble in the military history forum, there have been many real party and technical nerds to demonstrate, relatively mature manual processes and technical instructions, the only problem is the thunder mercury as a primer.

Therefore, at present, we can only consider reducing the weight on the basis of the flintlock pistol, increasing the rate of fire and accuracy, and the high-end atmosphere of the rifle, which is not considered for the time being......

The corresponding tactical regulations and use and maintenance processes are also being explored.

As long as a sufficient amount of firepower can be formed locally to suppress the arrogance of personal force, this is also the last bit of heart disease left in my wanted warrant about being fired.

The relevant training has already begun, although it is a bit of a temporary cramming, but the general way is that there is no good thing.

Not far away, the abandoned warehouse in Zuocheng District, located at Xiaodutou by the stream, has been bought by me, because as a coal dump for a former bankrupt trading company, there is a large enough freight yard and corresponding warehouses to be repaired and reused, and it is also convenient to use the water transportation of the Pearl River tributaries throughout the walk to transport materials and personnel, and there is also a high enough wall to block those unnecessary snooping and curiosity.

in it

Wooden stakes and sandbags, trenches and other things have been simply arranged into an indoor and outdoor training ground, Han Liangchen has begun to play a certain role as the head of Cheng Dù with the cooperation of the Wind Roll Flag, and those cavalry guards from Mrs. Chen's side, before being ordered to return, will also be here according to their own experience, such as the tactics of horse and foot confrontation, the formation of small groups and so on.

The personnel are mainly from the sons of the domain, that is, the children of the Luo clan, the children of the low-level households, because they are afraid that they will not be able to support them, they are basically sold to their own families, as slaves in a certain sense or, if they are lucky, they can rise to the rank of relatives, and it is also a common way out, although they have no education, but they are born in hardships and hard work, and they are obedient.

When that "I" left Borneo, I also brought such a group of young people with me, as a potential team, and later recruited several batches one after another, so far it is already the first scale, and it is also outside those industries, the predecessor left me the most valuable personal legacy, at least "I" initially gave them a certain education in writing and arithmetic, as a grassroots personnel and eyeliner in the industry.

Before doing this, I had already started to hire some martial artists and Lao Yi to train them in fighting and martial arts, mainly to select those mountain villages from the mountains or remote places in the domain, with difficult conditions and strong folk customs, or children from mines, and after they were transported to Guangfu by spare sea ships, their fate and future were closely related to me in a certain way.

After coming back this time, it's just a new training program, according to the preliminary rules,

They will be broken up into squads for confrontation and competitive training, and the outline of the training is also being explored, because all I know is the militia training manual in the context of the era of war preparedness and preparedness based on firearms in modern times, or the 100,000 whys of the military version of the people's education.

For cold weapon fighting in the traditional sense, in addition to bayonet tactics, it is inevitably a bit inadequate. We can only rely on experienced former soldiers such as Han Liangchen and Feng Juanqi to continue to explore in training in accordance with the traditional way.

In a normal sense, as a large number of maritime domains, it is normal for Guangfu, which is full of wealthy merchants, to have some private nursing homes and bodyguards.

As the dark side of the big city throughout the ages, the shantytowns located in the outer cities and suburbs, as well as the various black markets and gray areas, have also existed in the shady towns of the outer city and the suburbs, which have provided a large number of low-level laborers for the daily operation of the city.

As a wealthy merchant or a sea domain, there is not always a harmony, all kinds of potential competitors or actual enemies, also exist, so all the year round walking outside, or living in a different place, there are more or less this kind of clever name and the existence of the private guards of the zài, and the resulting spawning of the city full of various righteous societies and martial arts halls or something.

It's just that under normal circumstances, as the economic center of the Southern Dynasty, the important land of Jinai has its own rules and daily order, unless you deliberately go to the cracks in the suburbs, such as the suburbs of the city to show off to death, otherwise Guangfu is still a city full of opportunities and enjoyment for most outsiders who are prepared and expectant.

And the Qingyuan military mutiny undoubtedly gave me an opportunity, a potential opportunity to strengthen my own armed forces.

Today, the people of the five cities and the twelve districts, as well as the big merchants of some industries, have begun to raise their own arms and hire volunteers in the cities and neighborhoods, of course, not expecting them to be able to resist the rebels or anything, but to guard against the encroachment and losses caused by the rioters and bandits who take advantage of the chaos in the city to loot and make trouble because of the arrival of foreign soldiers in the city.

Not to mention that an important member of the clan background like me, the prohibition that was originally applicable to ordinary people will undoubtedly be more lenient for the background of the sea domain. At least I can justifiably buy some weapons to equip my hired servants and protect my shop and workshop.

The Southern Dynasties followed the previous Tang Dynasty's laws and regulations, so in the attitude towards civilian soldiers, it is also the so-called three prohibitions and three prohibitions, both the prohibition of armor and soldiers, the prohibition of long and short, and the prohibition of crossbows and bows, that is to say, it is forbidden to hide armor privately, but it is not forbidden to defend oneself with weapons; It is forbidden for ordinary people to possess long weapons such as spears, spears, and lances, but not for short weapons such as swords; The crossbow is a controlled weapon of the military standard, but as one of the tools of daily production and life, the bow and arrow from a wide range of sources are not restricted.

Therefore, there are some things that you can only figure out by yourself.

For example, Tiangonghao, once like a leather workshop with business dealings, customized a batch of old cowhides, as a raw material for belts and various leather goods, is now appropriated to be cut into the style of vests, shoulder pads and knee covers according to the body shape, and then lined with forged thin iron sheets in key positions, a rough protective inlay armor, and so formed.

Other hides were cut into long strips and nailed to curved planks with handles to form a hand that could be used to defend against arrows and stabs, and swords were issued for personal self-defense, which could also be custom-made from the city's licensed ironsmiths, but they were limited in number and were not used in a hurry.

So Yuwen Luoluo, or the relationship of the Yuwen family in the local area, came in handy again, and when she learned of my request, when she visited again, she brought a fat man wearing lake green silk.

This is a fat mole-like fan, slightly curly millet hair and stacked fat under the appearance, similar to the mixed appearance of the Mediterranean race, left alone in the front room to drink tea, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"The old lady's reputation,"

As a mysterious creature, she couldn't help but complain

"Do you know how much pressure and hindrance it is for a girl with a noble surname to visit a man at night like this?"

"It's a big loss this time,"

"Introduction, undisciplined arms dealers...... Little Contenoria"

It wasn't until I listened to her laugh and listen to a bunch of grumblings that I whispered an introduction

"The way is very wide, and it is said that even the firearms in Western Xia can be obtained......

"The ancestor was an archbishop......"

"Descendants of the archbishop, can you be a little more disciplined......"

I couldn't help but give her a blank look.

"Is it possible that in this time and space, God's shepherds can marry wives and have children, and they don't have to play with little boys?"

"Their ancestors are the famous Contenoria I, the Archbishop of Jerusalem and Antioch

The enigmatic creature had a gossipy, mysterious expression

"This time and space, the initiator of the Orthodox movement, the leader of the Eastern Church, the uncrowned pope who stood alongside Rome......"

"The only living saint recognized by Constantine and Rome......"

"The walking miracle that was once made to roast duck on the stove, but miraculously survived......"

"During the era of Liang Gong's western conquest of the Mediterranean, he excavated and compiled the Dead Sea documents, and facilitated the reconciliation of the three ancient sects of the Korpt Church, the Axumite Church and the Armenian Church......"

"What's the matter, is it true that God suddenly appeared and gave him a male son......

At this point, I couldn't help but interrupt her

"Hey, don't be so impure ......"

She looked at me with some annoyance

"Of course, this archbishop never married ...... in his life"

"It's just that the only goddaughter left, known as Nicole the Pure, married to the Baghdadan military god of the Bactria Dynasty and the Assyrian governor Seth,"

"One of their descendants, in accordance with the will of Contenoria I, inherited his surname and formed a secular merchant family"

"The famous Sinbad family, which is said to have the blood of the heavenly saints, is the same as the famous maritime merchant family......"

Saying this, her eyes once again revealed a certain strange fascination.

"Hey, you're enough,"

Again, I couldn't help but interrupt her

"This is bullying I haven't seen it, the other side of the clouds and mountains and the Arabian Nights......"

"The inexplicable Baghdad God of War, forget it, the famous Sinbad family with the bloodline of the Heavenly Saints, what kind of mess is this?"

"That's what is going on in the world, do you believe it or not......"

She spread her hands and straightened her chest,

"Speaking of which, this governor Seth still has a little bit to do with the ancestors of our Yuwen family,"

"Because when he came to Middle-earth, he was appreciated by the Duke of Liang and traced his roots back to his roots,"

"Because his Han surname is Yuwen Seit, it is said that he is a descendant of Yuwen Tuo, the Taishi of the Northern Dynasty, in Taixi"

"Do you understand......"

Well, it's like a five-hit, and I'm completely defeated by the malicious taste of that time-traveler predecessor and the means of wantonly playing with history to satisfy some kind of residual thought.
