In Chang'an City, Qin Yong led people to buy almost all the fatty pork in Chang'an City, and by the way, they also bought up the alkaline noodles in several shops, which made people very curious. Since someone recognized him as the son of the third steward of Qin in the Yiguo Mansion, he didn't recognize him and asked.

The day of the summer harvest was so hot that it seemed to be raining, Qin Yong looked at the several carriages that were fully loaded, and felt that the things that the lord asked him to buy should be almost enough. After buying more than a dozen iron pots, he took people to drive the carriage back.

Wang Xingxin was discussing with Niu Jinda and a group of battalion commanders who had only one life in the mansion how to distribute the 5,000 people. Three combat battalions plus a special service battalion and a guard battalion all the soldiers are only four thousand and fifty people, and the remaining thousand or so people, these guys who have been appointed as battalion commanders want it, who doesn't want to have more soldiers under their own command.

Wang Xingxin looked at the arguing crowd: "Don't fight, the rest of the people are all bombardiers, as for what bombardiers are, you will know when the time comes, these bombardiers are personally led by me." ”

Niu Jinda just watched these juniors discuss and didn't make a sound, he looked at the discussion and then left to find Liu Laoer, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin.

The dry-mouthed officers of the new Tang Dynasty were all drinking herbal tea made of honeysuckle and hay prepared by Wang Xingxin in the main hall. From time to time, you and I talk to each other, and the atmosphere is very peaceful.

Qin Yong, who was sweating profusely, came to the main hall to report to Wang Xingxin that the procurement work had been completed, Wang Xingxin looked at the bored people in the hall: "Brothers, Your Majesty of our new army asked us to raise our own food and salary, but the head of the regiment can only come up with some ways to make money, and now that the materials are ready, please take a step to see how the head of the regiment can turn decay into magic!" ”

When all the officers in the new military camp heard this, they immediately became interested, and followed Wang Xingxin to the courtyard where Liu Lao Er lived before. Wang Xingxin first asked Qin Yong to bring saltpeter to perform a saltpeter ice-making performance, which opened everyone's eyes.

Then make handmade soap, first use lime and alkali flour to make caustic soda, and then let the next person cut the fat pork into small slices to refine lard, and suddenly the yard wafted with bursts of fragrance.

Qin Yong watched as he followed Wang Xingxin's instructions and took a pen with the account room to record the manufacturing process, after the caustic soda and the pig's head were ready, Wang Xingxin began the saponification reaction, and couldn't wait for the soap grains to cool down slowly, so he simply made some ice and forcibly cooled it.

The pale yellow soap with rosin has a natural pine fragrance, although it is not very strong, but it smells much better than without rosin, which is enough for the people of Datang. As for high-end soaps, they are made with sesame oil, and the spices are then prepared.

The officers were very puzzled when this regimental commander was made of lime water and alkaline lard.

Wang Xingxin smiled and said to the eldest grandson: "Chief of Staff, the head of this regiment sees that your clothes are stained and I don't know how you cleaned them?" ”

"Deputy Commander, there are stains on this shirt, so let the subordinates wash it."

"Oh, then ask the chief of staff to take off his shirt now and let the head of the regiment clean it for you."

Eldest Sun Chong, I don't understand what Wang Xingxin is going to do now.

"Oh, is the Chief of Staff looking down on him? Why don't you have someone in your family? ”

When the eldest grandson Chong heard this, he quickly took off his shirt and said: "The deputy head of the regiment laughed, how can you be a dignified viscount who can be compared to those subordinates, but it seems inappropriate to let the deputy head of the regiment wash his clothes under him!" After all, you are the viscount of His Majesty, and now you are the superior below. ”

Wang Xingxin smiled silently, and after asking Qin Yong to fetch a large basin of water, he dipped Changsun Chong's shirt in lard and wiped it on the bottom of the pot a few times, and then rubbed it on the ground again.

Everyone was curious, and Changsun Chong also wanted to stop it, but Wang Xingxin preemptively said: "The time to witness the miracle has come!" Don't blink!"

Wang Xingxin cut a piece of soap and washed it with Changsun Chong's shirt, and after a while, the basin was full of foam, and after rubbing it for a while, after rinsing it off, he shook off the clothes he had just washed and let Qin Yong take it for everyone to see.

The dirty clothes that had just been made by Wang Xingxin were cleaned by the yellow lumpy object and were as clean as new, which made everyone feel that it was indeed a miracle!

Changsun Chong held the wet but washed shirt in his hand and thought for a moment and said, "Does the deputy head want to sell this yellow lumpy object that can wash clothes, and sell ice in the summer to raise military funds?" ”

"The chief of staff is really the chief of staff, and you can guess it! I wonder if the chief of staff can feed our new legion if he looks at the two? ”

"Deputy Captain! This ice can only be sold for one summer, but this yellow object that can wash clothes can be sold in all seasons! Look at this thing and the bath beans have the same effect, but it is much better than the bath beans to remove stains, although it is not very exquisite, delicate but it is in line with the use of the people of the Tang Dynasty! Good! ”

Then Wang Xingxin said to everyone: "There is another method, wait until the military camp is built, and then do it, now Your Majesty ordered the head of the Niu Regiment to bring us an initial capital of 10,000 yuan, and a thousand people, so that the people in my village are the backbone, Uncle Liu was also ordered by His Majesty to be a five-grade logistics officer, so let his old man be responsible for the manufacture and sale of ice and this soap!" You are all officers of our new legion, you should be loyal to our new legion, the law must not be passed on, the head of this regiment has asked Your Majesty if you leak this law without permission, hehe, then the consequences.... You don't want to die, but you don't want to inherit the title! Kick out the new legions and strip the title of inheritance! ”

When everyone heard this, they all thought that this deputy head was too ruthless! Except for Fang Yiai, the others are the eldest sons of each family, and they will all inherit the title in the future, once they are deprived of the right to inherit for a lifetime, it will be over, and the eldest grandson Chong, who was originally a little cautious, suddenly wilted.

However, after this kid glanced at Fang Yiai, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Wang Xingxin glanced at him and said to Fang Yiai: "Yiai, you are not the eldest son, you are not afraid of depriving you of the inheritance, but your head will be on the inheritance!" ”

At this time, Fang Yiai was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Commander, don't say it's the head!" If someone leaks this method, the head of a certain family will be given to you! ”

Sure enough, I was stunned!

Wang Xingxin looked around and said with great satisfaction: "Since I let you witness the miracle, the head of this regiment is not afraid that you have learned this method!" It's just little Lil! If you follow the head of this regiment and train hard for Your Majesty! Aren't the treasures of the Western Regions countries better than this path? When the time comes, let's lead the troops to rob the fuck! ”

The summer heat seemed to make everyone a little stunned, Wang Xingxin was also sweating profusely, and he beckoned everyone to go to the main hall to cool off.

Entering the main hall was like entering an air-conditioned room, and it turned out that Qin Yong had a very good eye for making a few ice basins and putting them in the main hall.

Wang Xingxin first explained to Qin Yong and asked him to call Liu Lao Er to take the name of the village and some people in the mansion to learn how to make soap, and then explained that he would take those lean pork according to his method and let Liu Lao Er lead people to make bacon, and the oil residue should not be thrown away, and it should be preserved with ice.

These lean meat and oil residue can not be wasted, they are all good things in this era of material scarcity, the people of Datang almost do not have much oil and water in their stomachs, and the nutrition of those soldiers is definitely not enough, just use this oil residue and lean meat to supplement the nutrition of the new army with high training intensity.

Wait for the new army camp to be built, and then let Qin Qiong Zhuangzi look at the pigs, and after castrating the pigs, the fat will definitely increase greatly! As for why he didn't raise pigs in his village, Wang Xingxin just didn't want to smell it.

Pepper sent herbal tea, and everyone drank a few sips Wang Xingxin said: "This soap is just for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and there is also a soap, this soap is exclusively for the royal family and all the rich and noble families in the Tang Dynasty!" In a word, the best is for Your Majesty, and whoever has the money for the rest can buy it!

Of course, we're all comrades! are all comrades-in-arms, and this best will be left for some at home! “

The eldest grandson Chong asked again, "What is that soap?" ”

"Chief of Staff, this soap is the same as soap, but the soap is made with more refined materials, and a variety of different spices are added, and even precious Chinese medicinal materials are added. It can be used to bathe and cleanse the skin, and if the wives and concubines in the family use it, the skin will be smoother than lard....."

Looking at the stunned appearance of everyone, Wang Xingxin did not be triumphant, but said with a serious face: "Everyone, since you are all in this new legion, then today the head of the regiment has said everything that should be said, presumably everyone knows that the head of this regiment was originally a layman, and he wanted to rely on a little cleverness to earn some money and buy some land in this small village to live freely, who knew that he was bullied and had to go to the government to save me, Uncle Liu, and some of the generals from Wagang in the middle of the court are all old, and they offered some good things to Your Majesty to get the title of the prince of Lantian County." , Today, the head of the regiment made it clear that today's Wang Xingxin is not Wang Xingxin who came to Chang'an at the beginning of the third year of Zhenguan! Today I am the son of Lantian County! It's not a vulgar little monk! Today I am the deputy commander of our new legion! Please also help me, comrades-in-arms and comrades! ”

"Brother Xin, what are you doing here! We are brothers! Brother Huaidao, you are the longest! Let's talk about it! ”

"Ming Shen, today my brother violated military regulations and asked you to be Ming Shen, even if I don't help you and me, I will do my best to fight for a future for myself! Waiting at home to inherit the title, the brothers are not very willing! You can rest assured! Brother Chongxian, eldest grandson, what do you think? ”

The eldest grandson Chong saw that it was not okay not to express his position at this time, so he said: "Of course! My eldest grandson Chong is not that coward! Let's see what the future holds! ”

Wang Xingxin was excited at this time, and waved his big hand and said: "The new military camp will be established in three days, and you and my brothers will work together to create brilliance!" ”
