Wake up refreshed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSince the attack of pirates, Zhao Min has not slept so soundly for a long time, and the feeling of sleeping on the big bed in the mansion is indeed different from the feeling of huddled in the cabin or cave. Zhao Min smiled self-deprecatingly, maybe this is the difference in the concept of "home".

Zhao Min got out of bed, stretched his waist, stretched his muscles, and at this time, an attendant came to report: "General Zhao, Shao Caopeng, Second Master Xiahou, Captain Xu Ying, Deputy Lieutenant Zhang, etc., please meet!" ”

"Invite them to the antechamber for a break, and I'll be there!" It seems that yesterday's news was sent to Jiaozhou Shuiying, and they all rushed back overnight, and they all came to see each other early in the morning. Since the people are so together, take this opportunity to simply have a meeting together, summarize the recent work, and by the way, let everyone communicate. Zhao Min then instructed his attendants: "Let's go and invite Mr. Meng, Captain Wei Ying, and Jiang Qin and Jiang Zhuang to the front hall together." ”

When Zhao Min came to the front hall, he simply enjoyed the treatment of a national treasure, and everyone gathered around, all kinds of greetings and inquiries couldn't stop at all, and the atmosphere was full of enthusiasm; Especially the Xiahou brothers, one left and one right pulled Zhao Min to ask east and west, so that Zhao Min didn't even have a chance to reply. But to be honest, Zhao Min also felt warm from the bottom of his heart, and everyone's care for him was beyond words, which was by no means comparable to hypocrisy, Zhao Min could feel it. For a while, Zhao Min had no choice but to make a move, and invited everyone back to their seats one by one to sit down, and then opened his mouth to tell everyone what he had encountered in the past few days.

After hearing this, everyone sighed, some thoughtfully, some gritted their teeth, and so on. After all, Shao Qi was the most excited young man, and he was the first to stand up, with a look of resentment flashing in his eyes: "King of the North Sea, this matter must be ......"

Zhao Min glared at Shao Qi fiercely and stopped him from following his words. Regarding the relationship between him and Lu Xu, there are only a few people who know the ins and outs completely about Shao Qi, Meng Hou, Zhao Yun and so on, and even Xu Ming dare not say that he knows it completely; As for the others, although they know more or less, Zhao Min has never talked about this matter in public, after all, it is better to keep a low profile on the surface of the fight between the ministers of the same palace, so it is not convenient for everyone to inquire in private.

Zhao Min said: "The bandits are rampant, it is the sorrow of the court, although Min is humiliated this time, but after all, he returned safely, don't mention this matter in the future, why make people laugh in vain!" At this time, Meng Hou, Wei Ying and Jiang Qin walked into the hall, Zhao Min took the opportunity to change the topic, welcomed the three of them into the hall with a smile, and said to everyone: "Just take this opportunity to introduce a hero to everyone!" As he spoke, he took Jiang Qin's hand and introduced it to everyone: "This strong man's surname is Jiang Mingqin, his face is public, he is heroic, courageous, and courageous!" If it weren't for Gong Yi standing up to save me from danger this time, I'm afraid Min wouldn't be able to see you here today! As soon as these words came out, everyone was busy thanking Jiang Qin again and again, and Jiang Qin did not mention them one by one.

Then Zhao Min said again: "I plan to appoint Gongyi as the deputy lieutenant of the Chinese army, I don't know what you think?" Everyone has gradually become accustomed to Zhao Min's habitual tone of discussing everything with everyone, and Jiang Qin has the credit for saving the driver in the front, this matter can be described as logical, why should everyone disagree? At that moment, everyone also nodded their heads in favor.

After everyone sat down again, Zhao Min spoke: "During this time, thanks to the concerted efforts of the princes, and not giving up easily, all matters are in order, and Min has thanked the princes here!" After speaking, he first shook his head, and then continued: "Min has not been in Jimo for a long time, and I don't know much about the current situation, and I hope that the princes will give Min a lesson or two." ”

As the head of the civil officials, Meng Hou should be the first to get up and report: "Qiqi Beihai King, the construction of the Motuntian system has been fruitful, there are 29 Tunpu Tuntian that have been built, and nine Tunbao Tuntian are under construction, which are expected to be completed before the beginning of spring." A total of 24,377 people were arranged, divided into 3,800 households, and a total of 190,000 mu of tuntian; Since the central part of the tuntian is newly opened wasteland, it is expected to provide 300,000 stone of grain by the time of the autumn harvest next year. Now the grain seeds and cattle needed for spring ploughing in Tuntian have been prepared, but there is still a gap of about 30% of the farm tools, and the short part is entrusted to Uncle Xiahou to purchase externally, and the other part is made by the craftsmen of the workshop, and it is estimated that all can be prepared before spring ploughing. ”

Zhao Min still has a sense of accomplishment in his heart. This is a job for more than 20,000 people! That's a great deal in modern times! Of course, more than 10,000 of them were originally tenant farmers who were received from Cheng Bi, and now they are just letting them return to their old jobs; However, these people got rid of the status of domestic slaves, and the food they grew was purchased by themselves, which is naturally like a cloud compared to the previous status of slaves and maids! What's more, there are more than 10,000 homeless people who originally had no livelihood and have also been reborn here, and such a feat makes Zhao Min a little fluttering. As for the amount of food obtained, Zhao Min didn't pursue anything too deliberately, now is not a war era, grain and grass are not tight, as long as there is money, food can be bought everywhere in the country.

Meng Hou paused for a moment to allow Zhao Min to digest the data and then continued: "The workshop is also being gradually established, but due to the importance of the work in Tuntian, in order to ensure the smooth progress of spring ploughing, the construction resources are given priority to the Tiangongfang, so in addition to the Tiangongfang has begun to be put into production a few days ago, and began to build a new agricultural tool for spring ploughing, the brewery and the roasted tea workshop are still under construction, which has not been completed, and it is expected to take two to three months. ”

Zhao Min thought to himself, Meng Hou deserves to be the Minister of Agriculture, and during his absence, he must have gone all out to supervise the construction of the 'Quyuan Columbo', and the delay of the brewery and the roasted tea workshop was also expected. However, the concept of this era is the agricultural standard, and in their opinion, Tuntian's great deed for the benefit of the country and the people is of course in the first place; It is also a matter of course that breweries and roasted tea shops are built to serve a lowly business like commerce.

After Meng Hou finished his report and retreated, Xiahou Ying got up with some excitement and said: "The main task of the caravan during this period of time is not only to purchase the agricultural tools needed for the tuntian, but also to promote the new wine brewed by the Beihai King to all places. Judging from the current situation, the response has been quite enthusiastic, and a retort of wine can be bought for up to 500 yuan! At present, the scope of promotion is still limited to the territory of Qingzhou, if it is promoted to the quiet and regional areas where the demand for alcohol is more vigorous, the price must be a few percent higher! ”

Zhao Min quickly calculated in his heart: a retort of wine is about a little more than three catties, and it takes ten catties of chestnut rice to brew a new liquor like this, and according to the calculation of 100 yuan per stone of grain, the grain cost of brewing a retort of wine is less than 30 yuan! With the addition of labor, accessories, appliances, etc., the cost will not exceed 50 yuan, and the profit will not exceed 10 times! Moreover, this batch of new wine that was taken out and promoted is still the new wine that Zhao Min tried to make in Xixian County, and the alcohol content and taste have not yet reached the best, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!

The next crowd was also moved when they heard this, but Zhao Yun frowned and interjected: "Although the new wine is profitable, Yun feels that it is not suitable to sell it on a large scale. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Min also asked blankly, "Why did Zilong say this?" ”

Zhao Yun arched his hand to Zhao Min and said, "Does the King of Beihai remember that he gave fifty catties of new wine to the army at the beginning?" ”

Zhao Min nodded, he still remembered that at that time, Jimo Xin was regularly streamlined and restructured, and many soldiers in the army had the intention of disarming and returning to the field, and the generals led by Zhao Yun came up with a way to use wine to encourage those who stayed in the army; Knowing that Zhao Min's new wine was tempting, he begged for fifty catties of new wine from Zhao Min to reward the army, but it is unknown how to reward Zhao Min.

Zhao Yun continued: "The King of the North Sea doesn't know that there are people in the army who have experimented with a special use of a new wine, which is of great significance to the battle! ”

This time, Zhao Min was even more curious. What other strategic significance can liquor have? Could it be that it is impossible to make incendiary bombs? At that moment, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhao Yun to continue.

"As we all know, in the past, most of the soldiers who were wounded in combat were bound with salt water, but the effect was not ideal, especially in summer battles, often the wounded died five or six out of ten; However, the new usage in the army found that if the wound was wiped with new liquor, the wounded would rarely deteriorate, and the soldiers called it 'divine liquid'! Because the new wine is so effective, Yun suggested that the new wine should not be sold to the outside world, but should be hoarded as an armament. ”

Zhao Min suddenly realized, isn't this alcohol disinfection? As the soul of the 21st century, of course, we know that the difference between alcohol disinfection and salt water disinfection, one is to kill germs, and the other is to inhibit germs, which is naturally not the same. However, Zhao Min really didn't know that the casualty rate of soldiers in this era was so high, and half of the people would die once the virus infection occurred! In Zhao Min's opinion, it is unimaginable! However, the alcohol brewed by himself now is only a little more than 40 degrees, which is far from the medical alcohol of later generations.

Zhao Min waved his hand and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, don't worry, this matter is not difficult, what is sold outside is just ordinary new wine, and I will re-brew some special new wine later, the effect is a hundred times better than what you are using now!" It's called ...... It's called alcohol! Zhao Min didn't bother to think of a new name, although he didn't know the manufacturing method of medical alcohol, but if it was just for the degree, it was nothing more than repeated distillation and purification. Maybe you can't steam it out after steaming it three or five times, but if you steam it ten or twenty times, I believe you can always get a high concentration of alcohol!!

Zhao Yun hugged his fists when he heard this: "If this is the case, Yun will thank the Beihai King for his great grace on behalf of the three thousand soldiers!" After finishing speaking, he thought about it, and simply didn't return to his seat, and then reported on the situation of the sergeants: "At present, the Jimo Army has completed the reorganization, and the new recruits are basically in place, which is divided into five battalions; Except for the 350 men of the water battalion, which was far away in Jiaodong, the rest of the army was a battalion of 500 people, including a battalion of bows and crossbows, a battalion of swords and shields, and a battalion of spearmen, as well as a separate training battalion of Huben, with a total strength of 2,358 people. ”

Zhao Min nodded to understand. Zhao Min knew that Zhao Yun was only reporting regular troops, and other unconventional troops also had more than 100 of their own personal guards, as well as nearly 200 people from Si Wencao, plus more than 40 people who had taken refuge with Zhang Hao, the total strength was as high as 3,000! Such a troop configuration can be regarded as a big force in the entire Beihai, but unfortunately, except for the Tiger Ben battalion, they are all black households, and eating, drinking, and Lazar are counted on their heads. For this reason, Zhao Min also deliberately gave the bow and crossbow battalion the title of Jimo County soldier, although only 500 people can eat official salaries, it is better than nothing!

Then Xia Houjie got up again and reported the financial situation of the inventory, and Zhao Min didn't listen carefully, anyway, the total number was about the same, and he didn't expect to live on that inventory. Zhao Min was concerned about another matter. He waited for everyone to finish talking before asking, "Because Min was unfortunately trapped in a thief's cave, he couldn't learn about the harvest of the treasure ship in Jiaozhou Bay. Who can tell me how much the sunken ship has been recovered from? ”
