readx;?“ Probably not, right? Compared with salt, chemical fertilizers can produce higher returns," Sun Wenbin said halfway through, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Aren't you yourself a whole salt, don't you have to build another salt farm?" And we have a salt mine, right? ”

"There are no salt mines," Shi Li shook his head, "In addition, salt farms cannot be built anywhere, and there are requirements for terrain or something." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info There is really no suitable area in our area for the time being, and even if we forcibly build it, the output will be greatly reduced, and it will not be worth it. ”

"Let's think about this then, anyway, I will help you say hello and lobby in our executive committee, and Gu Qingqian should also consider the situation on your side." Sun Wenbin said and waved his hand, "Don't talk about this, is your chemical plant ready to be put into production?" ”

"In fact, it is not a big problem to put into production, but the commissioning of some equipment is underway, and it can be officially put into production in mid-June. When it can be put into production, the chemical port will be powerful. ”

"How?" An elder on the side asked curiously.

"Guess...... Shi Li pretended to be mysterious, but shook his head slightly, "Actually, you don't need to guess, you think, we need a lot of chemical raw materials in our lives, and when the chemical plant starts to produce, we can expand the range of products. Want to mass-produce rubber? We can make artificial rubber, and plastic or something, all of which can be achieved in a very short time, and it can be done in a few years. ”

"So can we get rubber before the Dengzhou Rebellion? There's no way we're really using cavalry or bicycles when we're moving on the mainland, right? And even if it's a bicycle, it's better to have rubber tires. Sun Wenbin's eyes lit up, "Recently, the Joint Staff Committee often sends me a message from time to time to inquire about the production of rubber, which makes Lao Tzu want to cry without tears." The maturity of rubber is calculated in years, and what is the point of asking once every few days, it is nothing more than trying to urge me, but what is the use of urging me? It's not me who grows it, even if I grow it, it has to take a long time, can it grow faster after a few urges? ”

"The automobile industry is not an overnight success, it will take many years of development and operation to get it done, and the Joint Staff Council will not want to invest in motorized troops during the Dengzhou Rebellion, right?" Shi Li laughed heartlessly, "We haven't even finished using the marine steam engine now, and those docks have only just finished digging the earthwork for a short time, and there are still troubles about the water barrier or something." ”

"The water barrier is not a big problem," Xiao Jing said indifferently on the side, "When we landed, the pressure-resistant pipe that was directly made of wooden hoops was still in normal use, and the results obtained from the inspection some time ago should be used for another ten years." Therefore, if you want to keep the water door, you can directly use the steel frame wooden gate. ”

"Isn't seawater very corrosive? Will it directly corrode the steel frame? Wouldn't it be a big trouble if there was an accident? A voice came from the side, and when everyone looked back, it turned out to be an elder of the chemical industry, Sun Wenbin shrugged his shoulders, he couldn't remember what the name of this patriarch was. Xiao Jing couldn't remember it, but that didn't stop him from explaining the problem of steel. "In fact, we came up with some methods, first riveting it into a frame with rivets, then nailing it to a wooden board, and then coating it with a layer of coal tar as a whole, which we have in our logistics warehouse, and coal tar is quite good."

"But even if the tar is coated to prevent corrosion from the beginning, how to deal with the gaps between the boards and the boards?"

"It's the same solution as the pipes that came out of the hoop before, that is, when soaked in water, the planks start to expand, gradually filling the gaps between the planks." Xiao Jing smiled, "This problem is the same whether it is a barrel or a sea boat, in fact, like those large wooden ships are often leaking everywhere when they are launched, and they need to have a pump to pump water out constantly to ensure that there is not too much water, and even some ships need to pump water in shifts 24 hours a day to ensure that they float normally on the water." Therefore, it is enough to keep out the water with a wooden waterproof door. ”

============================= divider =============================

"Lord Ruan," a Medeno officer couldn't help frowning at the grizzled official in front of him, if he hadn't shown his official seal, he wouldn't have believed that this person in front of him would be an official assigned by Annan to the port of Champang, the clothes he was wearing were hung by tree branches and there were holes everywhere, and most of the cloth shoes on his feet were worn on the soles. Behind Ruan Minh Fang was a convoy, there were almost no cattle and horses in this convoy, basically all people were dragging and marching, and it didn't look like an evacuated army at all. Because only a few of the people in the trailer behind them were wearing battle robes, and more were already shirtless in the trailer, they did have weapons such as knives and guns, but these weapons were either incomplete or completely bare-handed. They encountered a bandit force of more than 600 people at the junction of Champa Port and Wenshan Port, and after a day of fierce fighting, more than 100 people were killed and wounded, and they had to flee at night, losing almost half of their soldiers and sixty percent of their property along the way.

The Annam officials who came to greet the Champa Port army were also full of disbelief at this time, where is the Annam army here? It's clearly a large group called Hanako. Moreover, what was piled up on this convoy was not the necessary materials for marching and fighting such as grain and grass, but all kinds of Dongfang Port commodities, and there were several large boxes on the back car, which at a glance knew that they were all silver taels. "Lord Ruan," the official also arched his hand at Ruan Mingfang with a depressed face, "Bring people to meet Lord Ruan's ...... in Xia" said and paused, looking at the group of people called Huazi behind him, "Such a strong army came to reinforce Wenshan Port." ”

Even a fool can understand this, and this army like a flower child is meaningless. This official had already received the news that the port of Champa had been completely captured in just one morning during the siege battle a few days ago, and the local army fought until the last moment, and the entire army was annihilated, while the forbidden army, which was supposed to be the main force in the battle, fled under the leadership of Nguyen Minh Fang, and did not even see the shadow of the enemy.

The Chinese army shocked the Annamite so far, and the news that came later shocked them even more that the troops besieging the city had achieved a complete victory without the command of the senator despite suffering heavy casualties and even the death of a senator, and most importantly, these armies were the recently formed Foreign Legion in the squadron. From the word foreign, it can be seen that the composition of these armies must have been Annam and Maidno. These soldiers who worked for the Chinese were able to display such strong combat effectiveness, which made Annan and Maidno staff members feel very incredible. The strong weapons of the Chinese are naturally helpful, but they can attack with one blow when nearly a hundred people are killed and injured at the same time, not to mention the Annanes, even the elite marines of the Maidno people may not be able to do it. How did the Chinese brainwash them into such heroic warriors? This made the people of Medeno more and more curious.

However, the "amateurishness" of the battle shown by the "forbidden army" in front of him at this time also made the Maidno officer feel incredible, such an army, the mind is on making money, and there is no concept of the country and the nation, and when it encounters the enemy, it wants to escape, and when it encounters money, such an army is simply a pig teammate, and fighting with them, I am afraid that the battle that was originally guaranteed to win will also become a defeat.

"Someone! Send all the men to the barracks," the Medeno officer ordered the Medeno Marines beside him, "Everyone! ”

"This brother, what do you mean?" Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but be stunned, "I am an official of the Annan Imperial Court, you dare to ......" Before the words fell, he was slapped in the face by the Medeno officer with an absolutely loud slap on his face, "As the supreme military governor of Champa Port, the enemy does not lead by example at present, and even took the lead in leading the troops to escape, so that Champa Port fell, so you naturally have to bear the responsibility for such a crime." And the fall of the state capital is such a thing, and killing the head is also a matter of course, right? ”

Ruan Mingfang's face turned pale, and he couldn't breathe well, it was true, if he hadn't been in a hurry to escape, so that he hadn't withdrawn all his troops, I'm afraid that the loss would not have been so great. If it had not been frightened by the large-scale actions of the Chinese at that time, and could have withdrawn with all the troops occupying the port, there would not have been bandits of about 500 people on the road who dared to rob them, let alone such heavy losses of goods.

But this is already a fait accompli, and it is useless for him to regret it now, just muttering in vain, "My goods, my goods." ”

"Let's take it as compensation for the fall of Champong Port." The Annan official waved his hand at the group of Annan soldiers wearing light blue robes around him, and a large group of Annan soldiers rushed up, making a gesture to grab the car.

"This is ours!" The captain of the forbidden army drew his knife with a brush, "These goods belong to us according to the agreement, and most of these silver taels are what we bought with our lives, how can they be taken away by you?" The soldiers around him also suddenly realized that this was their own thing! If it was snatched away like this, not only would he be busy in vain, but even his dead comrades would die in vain, so they hurriedly drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

"Good! Good! The Medeno officer suddenly applauded, "Yes, yes, but there is still a fighting spirit!" Very good! That is to say, only when we dare to fight against the enemy can we have the soul of the army, and only with the soul of the army can we win. Saying that, he walked to the side of the Annan official and whispered a few words, the Annan official looked incredulous, but after a while, he nodded and decided, and whispered a few words to the captain next to him, the captain also looked incredulous, but he still ordered loudly, "Take the people away, they can keep their property, but they can't return it until they recapture the port of Zhancheng." ”

Before Ruan Minh Fang could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the Medeno officer say, "As for this officer, all his property will be confiscated and he will be put in the barracks to serve as a soldier." ”

"Bold!" Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but shout, "I am an official of the Annan Imperial Court, how to deal with me is to be ordered by the emperor, and then dealt with by the subordinates, how can you be replaced by an outsider?" ”

Before the words fell, he was slapped in the face by the officer who came forward and slapped him in the face, making him dizzy and staggering for a while before he stood firm, "First, your emperor has issued an order through the right minister, let us Maidno Marine Corps have full jurisdiction over the affairs of the Cham Port Theater, if you come here with all the troops of Zhan Cheng Port, it is easy to say, but now you don't even have soldiers, so naturally you are not an official." With a wave of his hand, a soldier beside him holding a roll of yellow silk cloth shook his hand and opened a holy decree, which really said that the Maideno Marine Corps would train on his behalf and have full jurisdiction over the defense of the ports of Champa and Wenshan. Second, you don't know yet, do you? Your own uncle has fallen, and now he is being investigated by the Criminal Department for corruption and bribery, and it is difficult to protect himself, where can he protect you? ”

Ruan Mingfang's heart felt as if he had been struck by lightning at this time, in order to thank his uncle Shangshu, he gave most of the assets sent back to his uncle's family, and only a small part was left to the family. He quickly turned his head and shouted, "Let's go!" It must not fall into their hands, otherwise they will all die without a place to be buried! ”

The forbidden army behind him had a look of indifference on their faces at this time, for them, their belongings had been preserved, and they didn't need to worry about it at all, but if they stupidly followed Ruan Mingfang to kill them, these belongings might not be saved, and they might die in the conflict.

At the same time, with a wave of the officer's hand, the herald beside him picked up a whistle and blew it desperately, and a large number of Medeno marines rushed out of the woods with their weapons in the woods on both sides of the road. The soldiers in the front carried spears, the soldiers in the middle held shields and daggers, and the soldiers in the back held muskets in their hands, and almost immediately formed a battle formation.

Although the officers and soldiers in the forbidden army said that they had been serving as wine bags and rice bags for a long time, they could be regarded as having fought a war, and compared with the two of them, they could not have any chance of winning at all, so they hurriedly threw the weapons in their hands on the ground and shouted, "Ruan Mingfang, this thief has always only instigated us to die, and he only knows how to deduct the pension, and we will definitely not be in the same league with him!" The few soldiers who were still hesitating also hurriedly threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Ruan Mingfang trembled as if he had fallen into an ice cellar at this time, and now he had the idea of occupying the city port, sitting on a large amount of wealth, and holding elite soldiers against the imperial court had long been gone, and soon several tall and tall marine soldiers rushed up and pressed him to the ground like a chicken and tied him up. Officer Medeno laughed, "Take it away!" ”

So, the soldiers who walked in front led Ruan Mingfang, who was unsteady on his feet, and the soldiers behind escorted the soldiers of the forbidden army to push the cart and transport the property to the direction of Wenshan Port City.
