Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Idea of a Munitions Farm
After Heiwa returned to the village, she first went home and went around and learned that Liu Lao Er had married, and then ran to the Viscount's Mansion to find Liu Lao Er and said: "Uncle, the new brother asked me to come back and ask you if you want to like candy, he said that this candy has to be good and expensive!" ”
"You still know how to come back, what about the new baby?"
"Uncle, why don't you know if you're coming back, the new brother and the ugly cow are going to see Your Majesty, let me call the big cow and the bar."
"What do you want them to do?"
"I don't know, you ask him."
"You coward! .....”
Heiwa ignored Liu Lao Er and turned around to find the big cow and the bar, this melon coaxed and muttered while walking: "When we meet, I will say that the melon, the melon, just don't tell you the old man, and I didn't even tell you the candy to blame......
Wang Xingxin in Cheng Fuzhong was about to take Cheng Chumo back to the village, and suddenly thought of Heiwa going to the village to call people, and he didn't know what happened in the Lizheng Palace, so he said goodbye to Cheng Yanjin and returned to Zhai Changsun's military camp with Cheng Chumo.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the barracks, I saw Heiwa and Da Niu and the bar, it turned out that Da Niu and Liu Gangzi did not have Li Er's warrant, although they were the family of Lantian County, but they could not enter the camp.
Come on, Wang Xingxin asked them to wait a while and went to the camp to say goodbye to Zhai Changsun, thanked Rang for taking care of them for the past few days, and the group simply returned to Chang'an Cheng Mansion.
When Cheng Yanjin saw that a few people came back, he instructed Cheng Chumo to entertain Da Niu and the others, and then took Wang Xingxin to the backyard.
"Ming Shen, what do you think if the old man and your uncles join forces to buy up saltpeter in Chang'an City and nearby prefectures and counties?"
"Uncle Cheng, it's not authentic for you to do this!"
"Why isn't it authentic? The old man just buys saltpeter, and he doesn't buy ice with you! ”
"You know that you need saltpeter to make ice, but I've never seen you dig into someone's corner like this!"
"Hehe, you bastard, don't worry, all the saltpeter you use for ice trading is supplied, only next year, you know? We only sell saltpeter! ”
As soon as Wang Xingxin heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he thought, this old goblin is really a loss if he doesn't do business, if he is doing business, it is definitely higher than his achievements as a military general.
I had no choice but to agree to Cheng Yanjin's suggestion, because he saw Cheng Yanjin take out the chicken feathers from his arms again....
Since this is the case, he simply thinks about whether he can get the distilled spirits out, but in fact, he doesn't know how to make the distilled spirits, that is, the steamers and condenser tubes that need to be relatively sealed as described in the novels he read before he crossed.
It is known that the principle is to evaporate the current low-alcohol liquor at a high temperature, and what comes out after condensation is the distilled liquor with a high degree. The most difficult thing to do is the distiller, and I don't know if the anti-heaven wisdom of the Datang craftsmen can make it.
Wang Xingxin thought about it and drew on the ground with a small wooden stick in the garden in the backyard of Cheng's mansion, Cheng Biting Jin didn't bother when he saw this, but just ordered his subordinates to obey Wang Xingxin's instructions and quietly walked away, called a good painting account room in the house, and asked him to imitate all the things that Wang Xingxin drew on the ground.
Wang Xingxin is not surprised, he is very happy to see someone helping, squatting on the ground to draw is indeed uncomfortable, so it became Wang Xingxin pointing on the side, and the account room was lying on the low table to draw.
More than an hour later, Wang Xingxin took the drawings and asked the Cheng family's subordinates to find a few blacksmiths. After explaining to those blacksmiths in detail, the rest depends on the craftsmanship of the Datang blacksmiths, if this simple still is made, don't say that it is 5,000 soldiers and horses, even 50,000, he can afford military expenses!
Then the alcohol can also be made, and if it is dedicated to Li Er, it will be a credit!
The chef of the Cheng family is very awake, and those simple and easy-to-learn foods are more authentic than him under the guidance of Wang Xingxin! Especially the steak, the heat is much higher than Wang Xingxin's.
After accompanying Cheng Yanjin to eat a good meal, several people gathered in the small courtyard where Cheng Jimo lived.
"Ugly cow, your father robbed us of our business, what do you say!"
"New brother, you go to my father, what can I do if he robs us of a profitable business! That's my father! If you don't beat me, you have to beat me! ”
"Cowardly, I know that you don't dare to settle accounts with your father, settle the account, wait for that high wine to be made, you don't have to rush to drink, brother dig a pit for your father, let him drink first!"
If you really make that still, the strength of the head wine hehe, thinking of Cheng Biting Jin and taking a sip of a big bowl of head wine, the scene and the reaction after the wine will definitely make this old goblin drink a pot!
Da Niu looked at Wang Xingxin, who was smiling treacherously on the side, and said, "New baby, what is the matter with you letting me and your brother come here?" Dad doesn't blame you now, you just go back. “
"Brother Da Niu, Brother Gongzi, you two are doing a lot in the village, one is busy making babies, and the other is facing a pile of wood every day, and you have a lot of interest. Brother, I'm going to form a new army, and I want you both to help me. ”
"Alas, my brother doesn't know the art of war and martial arts, and I can recognize a few words, and your brother is just a carpenter, and we are not as good as Heiwa, Heiwa still has a lot of strength and knows some martial arts."
"Who wants you two to know the art of war and martial arts, I asked for an official for my uncle at Your Majesty, and I am responsible for making money and buying for my new army, and you two are helping my uncle."
After listening to Da Niu and Gongzi, they still didn't understand, and after Wang Xingxin patiently explained to them in detail, Liu Gangzi patted his thigh and said, "Okay!" Since it's our own brother's business, how can we not help, the new baby you say how to do it, brother! ”
"Hehe, Brother Gongzi, your vision is very small, Your Majesty has decided to build this military camp near our village, and I want to make our village a logistics base for this military camp! Since we can't put the money in our own pockets, Your Majesty will not give us food. Then let all this money be put in the hands of the people in our village! ”
These people still don't understand what Wang Xingxin means, but Cheng Yanjin, who is hiding aside and eavesdropping, understands, this kid is really shrewd! have caught up with the old man, this is the real fertilizer and water does not flow into the fields of outsiders!
Cheng Yanjin, who couldn't help it, jumped out and said: "Boy, count me as the Cheng family's Zhuangzi, if not, the old man will inform Your Majesty!" ”
Halfway through the kill, Wang Xingxin looked at Cheng Yanjin blankly and said, "Uncle Cheng, your family is still short of money?" Why do you always think about your little nephew? ”
"Hehe, you kid knows a fart, where does the old man don't need money! Wonder what's wrong with you! Not only the old man's Zhuangzi but also your Uncle Qin's Zhuangzi, you kid have to take care of it! No, plus your Uncle Niu's and your Uncle Li's with a bull's nose, it's best to add His Majesty's Imperial Village! Do you understand what the old man said? ”
When Wang Xingxin heard this, he suddenly realized! The military camp is near his own village, and the purchase is also from his own village, which will definitely be a trouble if those people with other intentions in the DPRK and China take advantage of it to file a complaint in front of Li Er. If you take these people, plus Li Er's Huangzhuang, who would dare?
Wang Xingxin, who originally wanted to make his village into the first military farm of the Tang Dynasty, so that these families in the village could make a fortune, sobered up.
Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin said: "You kid, you are only twenty-eight in your village, oh now there are twenty-nine people, the old man forgot that Brother Liu took a concubine." How much can be produced? How much money is a lot of money for one person? Think for yourself, kid, but first you have to tell the old man how you do it! ”
Wang Xingxin thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty's Zhuangzi will be talked about later, for the time being, it is just a little village, and Uncle Qin and your Zhuangzi, Yuanlou Village supplies vegetables, your Zhuangzi supplies grain, Uncle Qin's Zhuangzi supplies all kinds of meat, and when it is on the right track, add other people's." ”
"It's as simple as that? Don't you kid want to keep it private? ”
"This is just a plan, if it is made, of course it is extremely cumbersome, Uncle Cheng should be in a hurry, but tomorrow you have to go to the little nephew with Uncle Qin to suppress the little nephew, or those noble children will go to the little nephew for fear that he will not be able to calm it, by the way, let Uncle Qin live with the little nephew for a while, so that the little nephew can adjust his body!"
After Cheng Yanjin agreed, he no longer paid attention to these juniors.
