When Mi Tong and the others returned to the house, they were about to fall down laughing. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info teased the mane at this time, which is really happy, this is the first time I have traveled to this world and laughed so happily. Thinking about this world, it's not so monotonous and boring.

Tricks are tricks, things still have to be done. Early the next morning, Mi Tong led people to dig a furnace kiln on the fiefdom to make lime burning.

If you want to say that this digging furnace kiln, Mi Tong in later generations, but I have seen a brick kiln that does not burn, and it is just copied at this time. This kiln was dug in the middle of a hill, the height of the furnace is only six meters, and the diameter is about five meters. On the top of this furnace, there is a chimney with a diameter of about one meter. Reserve the furnace plug in the middle, reserve more than half a foot of pipe hole under the furnace plug, lead to the outside of the furnace, and then lay a layer of yellow mud tamping, and then densely lay thick earth bricks, build a low brick wall at the exit of the pipe hole of the furnace plug outside the furnace, and match the wooden bellows with footsteps.

In this way, a rudimentary, but advanced kiln was built.

Two more hut-like caves were dug next to the stove, one for sifting lime and the other for storage. Of course, this lime is extremely corrosive, and Mi Tong will not let his subordinates follow him, a "civilized person", to suffer this dumb loss. For this reason, he had some long gloves sewn from cowhide, plus the masks used in the previous treatment, which were also considered to be well protected.

As early as when digging this kiln, Wu Feng brought a pair of men and horses to dig the ore of the fired lime, which had been piled up into a large area at this time.

Everything is fine, only the east wind is owed! Mi Tong chose a good weather and prepared to start a fever immediately.

Mi Tong ordered people to spread out a half-foot-high pine branch at the bottom of the furnace and ignite it, and then kept sprinkling the charcoal and crushed lime ore mixed in proportion in advance on the firewood. These jobs seem simple, in fact, there is quite technical content, the mixture should be uniform, if the lime ore is more, the burned lime will be clamped; If there is too much charcoal, the lime will clump easily. With the ratio of bare laying, they were busy for a whole day.

On the other side, he ordered people to step on the bellows with their feet to help ignite and promote the fire. When the lime was burned, several people took turns to replace it, and the raw materials were piled into two or three meters high steamed buns until the work was finished.

A burning furnace fire must not expose the fire zone. They started lighting the fire in the morning after eating, and they were busy until almost midnight in the evening. The bellows riders could not stop until the lime pile had cooled down.

In this way, day and night, they burned a stove, probably a car. However, in this period, it is regarded as a high yield, which has greatly shocked the attention of the entourage, and naturally it is also a great admiration for Mi Tong.

Mi Tong asked his subordinates to fire day and night, without stopping work, and after a few days, the small warehouse was full.

The burned lime was reasonably distributed and transported to each city, so that the doctors of each city could crush and spray it to any damp and filthy corners to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes that transmitted the plague.

Mi Tong's burning of lime with such fanfare naturally alarmed Chu Xiaoao and some other ministers.

To say that this lime is a rare thing in this era, not everyone will have it. This item is only stored in the treasurer, and if it is not for some important occasions such as sacrificial ceremonies, absolutely no one can use it like this. Of course, in this era, this thing has another use, that is, it is used as a gold sore medicine to stop bleeding, but this amount will naturally not be much.

When has the State of Chu ever seen such a car being fired and pulled out?

On this day, Mi Tong sorted the burned lime into the car, and was about to go back to rest for a while, but he heard a report from his subordinates: the treasurer Hong Sheng asked to see him, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Mi Tong thought for a moment, and said in his heart: I have a fart relationship with him, and at this time I also said that there is something important to discuss, and that day I listened to the prince's order, deliberately made things difficult and deducted my lime, this account has not been settled with you, and then I came to see me. Hmph, no! But after thinking about it, this guy came to see me at this time, could it be that he saw me burning lime and asked me, right? Alas, let's pass it on and see what tricks you have.

The subordinates spread the word, and after a while, they saw the treasurer Hong Sheng running around, all groveling, and there was no longer the arrogance when the prince was the backer that day.

Hong Sheng arched his hands, bowed, and said with a smiling face: "Hehehe, Gongzi Yingcai, I didn't expect to be able to burn so much limestone in a few days, this is a fortunate thing for the Chu State, Hong Sheng is here to congratulate!" ”

Mi Tongxin said: "Phew, I want you to congratulate." But he only snorted coldly, turned around and put his hands on his back, sneered and said: "If there is something, say it clearly, and Daohe will be spared." ”

"Uh......" Hong Sheng was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile on his face: "Hehehe, Childe is really a straightforward person, then Hong Sheng said it directly." When Childe went to my treasurer to collect lime that day, I also intercepted a part, and Childe forcibly demanded it, and I said that it was to be kept for national sacrifices, I don't know if Childe still remembers......"

"Of course I do!" Mi Tong interrupted Hong Sheng's words, turned around again, glared at Hong Sheng angrily with a pair of eyes, and then said: "I remember that the treasurer was very majestic that day, and he had no intention of retreating under my Spring and Autumn Sword, but he was not like a dog like today!" It's just that yesterday I had ordered someone to return the limestone I borrowed that day, why did I come back to this time today, is it difficult to still want to make a mistake! ”

"Uh, no, no, no, where did Childe speak!" Hong Sheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How dare I lie to the son, Hong Sheng is here, it is indeed an important matter." If this is the national sacrifice. Well...... That's right, Jun Ao heard that Gongzi had a new secret recipe for burning limestone, and the output increased greatly; Therefore, it is necessary to increase the amount of lime on top of this sacrifice, but among the treasurers, only Gongzi returned so much yesterday, for this reason, Hongsheng begged Gongzi, again, again, to help send some lime to the treasurer. ”

Mi Tong had already guessed what he meant, but when he heard Hong Sheng begging him, he remembered the scene of that day. It's really 30 years in Hexi and 30 years in Hedong, if you know today, why bother me that day?

"Uh, that's it?" Mi Tong showed embarrassment on the surface, but after a while, he turned into a smile and continued: "This is easy to do, you can buy shell coins!" As long as you give the shellfish coins, you want as much as you want. You come and see, see how much lime is produced, it's enough, hehehe! ”

"Uh, you still need shellfish?" Hong Sheng looked dead when he heard this, and at the same time lowered his head and said: "I am also doing things for the Chu State, how can I buy it out of my own pocket!" ”

Mi Tong listened to a sneer, and then said lightly for a long time: "Have you ever heard that where you don't need shell coins for trading?" You ask me for lime, I ask you for shell coins, fair trade, Tong Su is not bullied. You are doing things for the State of Chu, didn't the State of Chu give you a fortune? Besides, I don't owe the country, so why should I give it to the country for free. ”

"Uh, you ......" Hong Sheng was angry when he heard this, but at this time, he begged for someone, and Jun Ao gave him a death order, and the sacrifice needed to double the amount of limestone. He can't say that Gongzitong has a holiday with him, so don't give it to him. Thinking about it now, he could only breathe in a low voice, and only after a long time did he calmly say: "Uh, childe, I don't know what the price of this lime is?" ”

Mi Tong smiled when he heard this, and said slowly: "Well, since they are all for the Chu State, let's calculate it according to the market price of ninety percent." However, I am in a hurry to use the shellfish currency now, and the price will be increased by one percent one day later, so you should withdraw the money quickly. ”

"Uh, you're going to pay for it." Hongsheng said.

Mi Tong frowned and said, "Hmph, this is called time waits for no one, you can think whatever you like, if you can buy it elsewhere, you don't have to bargain with me." But this son still advises you, the amount of lime you want, except for me, will not be able to make up for a while. And at present, the surrounding countries are also fighting the method of preventing the plague in the Chu country, presumably the price of this lime will rise rapidly, I am afraid that in a few days, buying lime will allow you to sell all the fiefs. ”

"Ugh!"
