Chapter 173: Mission Failure

Second Master Cui was so angry that Qin Ze fainted, but Chen County ordered him to be benevolent and righteous, and asked the official to change his clothes and find an inn for him to send in.

And Qin Ze didn't embarrass the remaining few servants, and when they woke up, they were also sent to the inn. This time, Cui Erye woke up and didn't toss, but went out of Lingtai County overnight, without alarming anyone.

Of course, Qin Ze and the others naturally knew, standing on the city gate and looking at the second master Cui who was getting farther and farther away, Cheng Huailiang's eyes showed a fierce light.

"Just let him go, it's cheaper for him." Cheng Huailiang gritted his teeth and said indignantly.

Indeed, Cui Erye's deliberate occupation of military rations made Cheng Huailiang, a military general, hold back his anger. If the soldiers really ate soybeans and sorghum for six days, what fighting power would they have?

"After all, we are dressed as an inspector, if we really die here, wouldn't it give the Cui family a reason to attack us. Seeing that he is in a hurry to defect to him as the third child of the Cui family, hmph, when he arrives in Lingzhou, where there is a shortage of soldiers, it is the place where he is buried. Qin Ze also had a gloomy face, looking at the disappeared Second Master Cui and said coldly.

Chen Xianling on the side stood next to him, listening in a cold sweat. Thinking in his heart, what kind of master are these two, how dare they say so unscrupulously that they want to kill a patrol envoy of the fifth grade?

"That's it, that's it. Let's let him live first, but I heard that Cui Shi, the third elder of the Cui family, is in Lingzhou, but don't drive, and it may really be a little troublesome at that time. Cheng Huailiang lightly pointed his finger at the city wall pier, and said with a frown.

"Who can say for sure when the war is in chaos?" Qin Ze said this with a smile on his face.

Cheng Huailiang couldn't understand what Qin Ze meant, and he glanced at him at the moment, and they all laughed.

Chen Xianling on the side felt that he might be dreaming, and he felt that he must have heard it wrong. Someone dared to murder the court officials so blatantly, and the inspector had already made him incredible, and ......

These guys still have to do something else......

The summer night wind blows people quite comfortably, and today because of Cui Erye's matter, all the soldiers are directly camped in Lingtai County. So it's not too early to see the sky at this time, and Qin Ze and Cheng Huailiang also bid farewell to Chen Xianling.

Regarding Chen County's request to invite them to live in the inn, the two naturally did not allow it. It's not that they are not at ease with the inn, but Qin Ze and Cheng Huailiang both pursue the principle of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, so naturally they will not live in the inn prepared separately.

When Qin Ze returned to his tent, the reckless cow who was in charge of going out to spy on Second Master Cui had already returned. As Qin Ze thought, this guy was honest this time, and he went straight to Lingzhou when he left Lingtai County, where did he dare to stay.

It's okay like this, the humiliation of Second Master Cui in Lingtai County, Qin Ze is not afraid that it will be exposed at all. He didn't believe that Second Master Cui would be willing to tell others such a shameful thing. So this time, even if his second master broke his teeth, he had to swallow it. And Lingtai County is also very safe, and even in this life, it is estimated that Cui Erye will not dare to set foot in Lingtai County again.

Nothing was said all night, and the next morning was unspoken. Qin Zecai took all the soldiers to light the military rations in the county warehouse. Military rations were directly piled up in three warehouses, the most of which were soybeans, followed by sorghum. This was followed by half a warehouse of wheat.

Moreover, Qin Ze obviously found that there was something wrong with the wheat in the third warehouse, he had taken a look at it yesterday, and he remembered that there didn't seem to be so much. Why did I see that there were so many more this morning, and after Qin Ze grabbed a handful, he found that most of these wheats were also old and mixed with different colors.

Seeing this, Qin Ze didn't understand, came to Chen County Ling with a black face, held the wheat and asked: "Chen County Order, there is naturally no problem for soldiers to eat some soybean sorghum, but you give us all the wheat, do you want to eat soybeans for a year?" ”

Seeing that he was seen through, Chen Xian Ling had no choice but to laugh twice and replied: "The people can't bear to see the soldiers eat these things, and we are already very satisfied if we can have food to eat." If it weren't for the soldiers who built this line of defense at the border, maybe we wouldn't even have this. Deputy Lieutenant Qin doesn't have to worry, the people still have some left in their hands. When the wheat is ripe next year, everything will be easy. ”

"Good fart." Qin Ze directly burst into a foul language, of course, he didn't mean to scold. He threw the wheat in his hand back to the granary, but he looked at the mottled military ration and began to be in a daze.

It is understandable that the soldiers eat wheat, and there are a total of six days from here to Lingzhou. At least 800 catties of wheat and 800 catties of miscellaneous light are needed, which is the minimum standard. Qin Ze took a cursory look at the wheat in this granary, and calculated it according to the capacity of the Datang granary. There are already one or two thousand catties, which is estimated to be all the harvest in Lingtai County in a year.

But in addition to this, soybeans and sorghum are extremely numerous. There are more than 10,000 catties, and this is only for military rations, so I don't know how much the people still have in their hands.

But for this wheat that concentrates all the people, how can Qin Ze be at ease......

"Chen County Order, how much soybean production does your county produce in a year?" Qin Ze suddenly thought of something, and asked at Chen County Order.

"There are more than 2,000 acres of soybean fields in Lingtai County, each mu can produce about one stone, and there are more than 1,500 stones a year." Although Chen Xianling didn't know what Qin Ze meant, he still replied honestly.

"More than fifteen hundred stones~" Qin Ze looked at the yellow and clear soybeans, but he fell into deep thought.

In fact, Lingtai County is still very good in Qin Ze's opinion, it is located in the Hetao area, and the soil is very fertile. So the yield of soybeans and sorghum is not low. And although these two things are a little unsatisfactory for eating, for Qin Ze, there are other important uses.

Soybeans can be used to extract oil, and sorghum can be used to make wine, so it can be said that if this place is developed, it will not be impossible to use it as a natural granary for the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce in the future.

It's just that Jieli has not been destroyed yet, the situation at the border is still unstable, and the road from Chang'an to Lingzhou has not yet been fully opened, so everything is just an assumption.

Despite this, Qin Ze has another way to get out of poverty as soon as possible. At least you don't have to eat soybeans and sorghum for a year.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze turned around and looked at Chen County's order and said, "Can Chen County's order know what soybean oil is?" ”

That's right, Qin Ze planned to teach Chen County to make them use soybeans to extract oil. This technology is still being promoted today, except for the oil mills in the army. Most people still use sesame oil and animal fat. Therefore, Qin Ze planned to let Chen County Order squeeze soybeans into oil and sell them to the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, which could be regarded as an income.

Chen Xianling naturally didn't know what soybean oil was, so Qin Ze also began to explain to him in detail, and when he heard that a pound of soybean oil could be sold for at least twenty wen, Chen Xianling's eyes were almost glowing.

In the past, Lingtai County's income was mainly from green wormwood, and soybeans and sorghum were sold as forage for livestock. One stone of soybeans is only 60 yuan, and now a pound of soybean oil can be sold for 20 yuan, and a stone of soybeans can produce 30 pounds of soybean oil, that is, 600 yuan.

Chen Xianling felt that Qin Ze was crazy, and one stone of soybeans had increased tenfold like this, which was simply ......

In fact, Qin Ze didn't know how much soybean oil was worth, he only knew that a pound of sesame oil was a hundred wen. Since soybean oil is not as fragrant as sesame oil, it is naturally cheaper, so I said twenty articles. But anyway, no one has sold this thing yet, and he has one share, so he doesn't believe that he said that anyone else dares to say that he is not twenty Wen.

"Chen gave a salute to Deputy Lieutenant Qin on behalf of the people of Lingtai County." Chen Xianling bent over as he spoke, and made a big salute.

This frightened Qin Ze, people have a higher official position than themselves, where is the need for this, so he hurriedly helped him up and said: "Find a few trustworthy people to do this, don't be known by others." It will take about three days to make it, and someone from the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce will come to you to buy it later, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Such a great grace, Lingtai County is grateful to Dade." Chen Xianling took another step back, and it was a big gift to Qin Ze.

Qin Ze hurriedly went to help, but the system voice had already sounded in his head: "Please complete the wish task of squeezing out a bucket of soybean oil from Chen County's order, complete this task, the host will get three wish points, and the failure of the task will be punished according to the completion of the task." ”

Qin Ze shook his head, but he already knew how excited Chen Xianling was now, since he had directly triggered the mandatory task of the system. At the moment, he didn't say anything more, but directly found a pen and paper and began to explain the production of soybean oil to Chen Xianling.

Boiling beans, steaming beans, fermentation, enzyme washing, soaking, boiling oil......

Qin Ze explained each step very carefully, and also drew illustrations with a strange painting style. Fortunately, Chen County's order can also be understood, which saves Qin Ze a lot of effort.

Chen Xianling, who had been excited for a long time, still patiently contained the excitement in his heart, and immediately found a few people he trusted and began to squeeze oil.

It's just that when everything was going smoothly, Qin Ze suddenly had a problem on his side. That is, the team must leave, the front line is in a hurry, and the Turks have already jumped over Lingzhou and begun to penetrate deep into the hinterland. At this time, if you can't advance again, when the Turks are completely established in the rear of Lingzhou, I'm afraid they won't be able to enter again.

And when he heard the news, the one who wanted to cry the most should be Qin Ze, because he promised to help Chen Xianling squeeze out a barrel of oil, but now the soybeans are still fermenting, where can the oil come from?

Cheng Huailiang didn't give Qin Ze a chance to explain at all, and directly gave a death order, the team couldn't be delayed for a day, so he had to leave today. Qin Ze, who learned the news, sat alone on the edge of the camp and smiled bitterly at others for more than an hour.

In the end, he laughed so much that none of the soldiers dared to approach him, and they all said that Deputy Lieutenant Qin was crazy and was afraid that he was going to bite.

He bites a second uncle......

Although Chen Xian ordered that he could squeeze out oil without Qin Ze being there, the key was that Qin Ze's task was to squeeze out the oil......

Mission failed!

Obliterate?

Still is......
