Chapter 88: Three Years of Results

Three years ago, the construction of the city was troublesome and trivial, and Yan Zhong alone was completely busy, so Su Chen set up a recruitment hall in Wuyuan County and Ningcheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tian Chou, Tian Zitai, in history Youzhou Mu Liu Yu engaged in. In the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao joined Cao Cao when he went north to conquer Wuhuan, and served as Cao Peng. Because the guide has a merit in pacifying Karasuma, he seals the Pavilion Hou and does not accept it. Later, from the conquest of Jingzhou, there was merit, and the former knight was sealed, but he was still not accepted, and he was worshiped as a councilor.

Tian Chou became famous as a young man, recommended himself in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, at first the people of the Zhaoxian Pavilion thought that he was too young and did not pay attention to it, and later the Zhaoxian Pavilion was controversial by Shilin, Tian Chou became famous in a book, and entered Su Chen's sight, he made an exception to appoint him as the director of the Chengbei Industrial Zone, responsible for managing the construction of the industrial zone, before the arrival of Tian Chou, the construction of the industrial zone was very slow, and the work of one year was not as good as the work of Tian Chou in March after his arrival, two years down, the industrial zone was fully completed, the scale of the major workshops expanded several times, and some new workshops were also put into use.

As soon as he arrived at the Yafu in the north of the city, Tian Chou hurried back from the workshop: "The lord is here, and he has never greeted him from afar, hoping to beg for forgiveness." ”

"Zitai is worried about working together, what a crime." Su Chen waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, "Zitai heard that you are guarding the paper mill day and night, and there is any progress in improving the papermaking technique?" ”

Although there is Caihou paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this Caihou paper is light and yellowing, not to mention, it is easy to break, and it is really reluctant to be used for writing.

"Back to the lord, I have tried a lot of ways to improve papermaking, but I have not found an economical and practical method, although now I can also make the paper required by the lord, but the price is too expensive, and a knife of paper almost costs 10,000 yuan."

"Oh? How expensive it is? He didn't expect this papermaking technique to be so complicated, and the paper in later generations was very cheap, this knife paper was only a hundred sheets, and the average cost of a piece of paper was a hundred yuan.

What is the concept of a hundred dollars?

In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the price of a stone of grain was generally more than 100 yuan; A better house costs 10,000 dollars. A better horse costs 10,000 yuan, and a cow costs 2-3,000 yuan; Between 500-1000 money for a sheep; The price of a dog was around 100 yuan (the dog was used as meat at the time).

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, inflation, the price of a stone of grain was hundreds of yuan, so the price of this piece of paper was about twenty yuan in modern times.

This is a real sky-high price, if he can't reduce the cost, then this paper can only be used as a luxury product, circulating in the upper class, which is not in line with his wishes.

After a while, he and Tian Chou came to the paper workshop, and when he saw the snow-white and tough paper off the shelves, he was also a little shocked, after all, this was the first time he had seen papermaking in person.

After visiting the whole workshop, he said to Tian Chou: "Zitai, this paper workshop is the top priority, the current paper quality is good, if the cost can be reduced, then such a good paper can be popularized, or try not to make the paper so white, only need to be tough, easy to write, you tell the craftsman to trial and error, if you can successfully reduce the cost, this paper workshop alone can bring us great benefits." ”

"The subordinates are awake, the lord can rest assured, and I will let the craftsmen try again and again, and I must reduce the cost of papermaking." Tian Chou was a scholar, of course he knew what this paper meant, as long as he mastered the paper of writing, it can be said that he had mastered the heart of the world's scholars.

What's more, this is a good thing in the present and a thousand years of merit, once the papermaking technology is successful, presumably in the future, he will be able to go down in history forever, and future generations will know that this is a famous thing in history, and he can't be moved.

Meritorious service and virtue are the lifelong pursuit of scholars, and although Tian Chou is a young and intelligent man, he cannot escape the shackles of fame and fortune.

Su Chen nodded, and added: "You tell the craftsman to continue to make this snowflake paper, and in the future, it will be used as a high-grade paper, only sold to the family, in addition to harvesting money, it can also be regarded as a friendship." ”

"No!"

Visited the paper workshop, he then went to the sugar mill, the sugar mill is now run well, the Su family abundant pear blossom sugar fragrant and pleasant, white as pear blossoms, so called pear blossom sugar, this pear blossom sugar is now widely circulated among the upper class of the Han Dynasty, if not limited by the output, its interests may be second only to Su wine.

As for the original brewery, it is now all made from sorghum, and the sake made from sorghum has a purer and stronger taste, especially in the northern region. The residues of the brewing were used to feed the livestock, and the breeding industry developed, and it can be said that his army was now the best paid, and the soldiers could eat meat every five days, and the average soldier was half a catty, thanks to the development of the breeding industry.

The pill shop has not expanded, one is because of the lack of manpower, but the market is limited after all, although it has not expanded, but the variety of pills has also increased a lot, in addition to the maintenance pills used by women, after his research, the pill shop has been able to refine a variety of pills.

Among them, the more famous ones are Yangshou Dan, Rejuvenation Pill and Zhuji Dan, these three pills have gradually entered the market.

Yang Shou Dan can maintain health and increase longevity, especially suitable for the elderly, and the rejuvenation pill is used for healing, is specially for the martial arts and generals to refine the pill, as for the Zhuji Dan, relying on the underworld and his blood, Jiuyang flowers are planted in large quantities, just Zhuji Dan is not a problem, now the Zhuji Dan is not hard to find in the market, as long as you have money, you can buy it in the shops of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, the price varies from a thousand gold to a hundred gold according to the grade, although it is still expensive, but its cost is less than one-tenth, this one alone, It brought thousands of funds to the Su family, otherwise how could a northern fortress be built out of thin air in three years.

After his unremitting efforts, he conquered the refining method of Zhuji Dan, and simplified many steps, and it was with this large number of pills that he finally cultivated an army of more than two thousand warriors.

These two thousand wolf riders are all warriors who build the foundation, the worst soldier is a samurai who practices leather mirrors, Wu Chang Shichang is a samurai in the bone forging period, Du Bo, and the hundred generals are the cultivation of the Yijin period, as for Sima, the military marquis is at least the cultivation of the marrow washing period, and when he reaches the level of captain Du Wei on the Internet, he must be the cultivation of refining the viscera and exchanging blood.

Now Wei Xu, the commander of the middle generation of the six strong generals, is a martial artist in the Qi Refining Realm Qi Gathering Period, and he can be regarded as the bottom existence among the second-rate generals, and the other five are still only in the realm of face and blood exchange, and the top existence among the third-rate military generals.

And Su Chen, now he has just broken through the innate and become a martial artist in the Qi Sea Stage. Although the strength of the two thousand wolf cavalry commanders is not high, the strength of the middle and lower ranks is extraordinary, and the combat effectiveness can face the charge of tens of thousands of troops.

At the beginning, Guan Yu's cloud shadow and wolf cavalry practiced martial arts, and the two sides fought for seven days and seven nights, and the final result was that the wolf cavalry lost 300 people, most of whom were slightly injured, and Guan Yu's 10,000 cloud shadow light cavalry lost more than half, which can be seen.

However, although the wolf rider has had a preliminary prototype, but the person who can really become the commander of the wolf rider has never appeared, Guan Yu is not suitable, too arrogant, Xu Huang is not suitable, the cultivation is too poor, and Ju Yi is even more unsuitable, as for Zhang Liao, who he likes, he has not yet grown up, although since joining the wolf rider three years ago, Zhang Liao's cultivation has been a thousand miles a day, and in just three years, he has reached the realm of refining dirt and exchanging blood, and has become the pinnacle of third-rate generals.

Although it also has the effect of elixir, but his efforts cannot be ignored, although he is young, his combat effectiveness is not worse than the five people in the same realm among the six strong generals, this is worthy of the famous Zhang Liao, this qualification, is also nakedly open, you must know that Cao Xing and others have been practicing for twenty years, but they were caught up by Zhang Liao, who has practiced martial arts for three years. So every time they saw Zhang Liao, Cao Xing and others felt that they had no face to see people, and the result was that Zhang Liao was trained fiercely in the army.

In the past three years, Su Chen has hardly gone out, and he has devoted himself to the construction of the army, all the internal affairs have been handed over to Yan Zhong, and the economic aspect has been handed over to Tian Chou.

Xu Huang's 30,000 infantry army was formed very early, and it is currently quite large-scale, and its strength is extraordinary, Ju Yi's first deceased soldier, Su Chen has never had anything to do with it in three years, Ju Yi wants money for money, weapons for weapons, food for food, and the knife has not been unsheathed, I don't know if it is sharp.

As for the Tiger Guard, there is Dian Wei, the Tiger Guard is not only responsible for protecting Su Chen's safety, but also to protect the safety of Su Fu and his subordinates, the number of Tiger Guards is now two thousand, in addition to the recruited rangers, there are also many people added to the army, two thousand Tiger Guards may not be good on the battlefield, but if they are assassinated behind enemy lines, bodyguards and guards are completely competent.

It's not that there are regrets, for three years, Huang Zhong has not heard from him at all, which makes him a little frustrated, after all, this is a top general who can compete with Lu Bu in the future, although there is Dian Wei Guan Yu, even if he meets the legendary Lu Bu in the future, it is enough to protect himself, but he always feels a little unwilling.

However, there is also one thing that makes him and all his subordinates happy, that is, Cai Yan finally gave birth to a son for him.
