A beautiful woman wants to learn chess with herself? Liu Yong was full of joy, so he said: "The eldest lady is polite, let's finish a few important things in front of me first, and then tell the young lady who knows everything in my heart?" ”

"The slave family will thank the son first!" Big Joe Yingying bowed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Liu Yong then convened Dong Xi, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and several others to hold a short meeting. Liu Yong said first: "Brothers, we didn't plan to stay in Anhui County, but we didn't expect that Du Yuan would come out halfway. I think that since we have come to the rescue, we need to manage it to the end, start and finish well, and besides, Qiao Gong has funded us a lot of money and food, so it is reasonable for us to be responsible. ”

Zhou Cang said with a smile: "I think Brother Liu is reasonable, of course you have to do things from the beginning." Do what you say, I'll listen to you. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Pei Yuanshao said with a smile: "Big brother, that's called having a beginning and an end." ”

Zhou Cang said strangely: "There is a final word, and it's almost the same." ”

"Something pretty much. Far from it! Liu Yong scolded with a smile, "From the beginning to the end, it generally means that a woman can only marry once, and her husband cannot marry again after she dies." ”

"I see." Zhou Cang scratched his head and said embarrassedly. Everyone laughed heartily for a while, and when they returned to the original topic, Dong Xi and Pei Yuanshao did not disagree.

Liu Yong said again: "I thought about it, there are a few things that are urgent at the moment, and we will act separately." Brother Dong and Brother Pei are responsible for the clean-up of Du Yuan, Brother Zhou is responsible for training the militia, and the younger brother is responsible for Tuntian and running a paper mill, what do you think? ”

Dong Xi pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes." It's just that although there are not many people in Du Yuan's group, we don't know anything about them. This matter is urgent, so I think it is better to send a few people to find out the situation first. ”

Liu Yong said: "This is also what the little brother means. You can send out a few capable officers in the spy company, and you must find out the terrain and landform, defense deployment, and guerrilla outposts. Then a meeting of officers above the company level was called, and everyone brainstormed and came up with a plan to suppress the bandits. ”

"I don't think there are too many people to attend, confidentiality comes first." Pei Yuanshao added.

"Brother Pei is reasonable, as long as the four of us and the people involved in it know."

"Okay, Brother Pei and I will arrange it."

"The two eldest brothers are bothered, Brother Zhou will stay for a while, and we will discuss how to train the militia group."

Dong Xi and Pei Yuanshao said goodbye and returned to the camp, and Liu Yong said to Zhou Cang: "Brother Zhou, tell me what you plan?" ”

Zhou Cang's face was confused, and he said, "You said how to train me, can't you just do it?" What else to plan for? ”

Liu Yong was angry and funny, and said, "Didn't you ask someone to bring a message to Brother Zhou yesterday, asking you to think about the training plan?" Don't you think about it at all? ”

Zhou Cang grinned and said with a dry smile: "If my brother wants me to exert my strength, sweat, or even bleed, I don't blink my brows, what kind of plan do you want to get this, then it is better to cut off my head." ”

Liu Yong blamed: "Brother Zhou is brave and tenacious, given time, he will be able to make more military exploits and be independent, and he will not necessarily worship the marquis in the future, isn't it good to take this opportunity to learn and improve his ability in this area?" Why didn't Brother Zhou understand Liu Yong's hard work. ”

Zhou Cang stretched out his fingers as thick as a branch and scratched his head, and said with a dry smile: "I only like to dance knives and guns, charge into battle, and think about things all day long, I have neither the ability nor the patience, my brother still spares my brother." ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "It's not that Brother Zhou is as knowledgeable as the famous teacher Hongru, it's just a cursory reading of some books, understanding some generalities, and improving himself." Doesn't Brother Zhou admire General Yun Chang the most? General Guan is busy with military affairs, but he still reads "Spring and Autumn" at night and tirelessly, why is this? ”

Zhou Cang smiled for a while, and begged: "How can Zhou Cang be compared to General Guan, I am a fate who obeys orders." As soon as I saw the crooked words like insects on the bamboo slips, I felt uncomfortable, and Brother Liu still didn't want to embarrass my brother. ”

Liu Yong sighed and said helplessly: "Okay." Let's revise the plan for our usual sergeant training. ”

Zhou Cangmei opened his eyes and smiled: "This is good, it's not too much anyway, just change it." ”

Liu Yong shook his head and sighed: "You are really a dou who can't be helped." Zhou Cang's eyes widened, and he wondered: "Who is Adou?" ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "An irrelevant person." Never mind. Let's discuss it together. The two discussed, and Zhou Cang was very arrogant, almost all of which were Liu Yong's opinions. Liu Yong shook his head secretly, and after a while, he finally came up with a draft of the composition of the militia group, training subjects, work and rest time, and assessment methods.

Zhou Cang let out a long breath and laughed: "It's finally done!" ”

Liu Yong couldn't help but wonder: "What is the great success, this is just the beginning?" ”

Zhou Cang said with a sad face: "I see that this is quite a lot, is there anything else?" ”

"There's more." Liu Yong said, "How will these people be distributed in the future, how will they coordinate with each other, how will they reconnoiter in peacetime, how will they be deployed, how will they liaise with each other, how will they defend in wartime, and how will they attack......

Zhou Cang's head was big when he heard it, and he said again and again: "I have a headache......

Liu Yong sighed again and again, "No matter how you look at it, the younger brother is doing it, but Brother Zhou is idle." ”

"Otherwise, how could I like Brother Liu so much?" Zhou Cang also patted his ass at the right time.

"Then you get out of here." Liu Yong kicked his feet, Zhou Cang turned to one side, laughed and ran out. Liu Yong thought about it for a long time, and after completing the training plan, he went to Qiao Gong's study.

Qiao Xuan was very concerned about the establishment of a paper mill, and had already prepared funds, raw materials, tools, and loyal and capable personnel to organize at Liu Yong's request. It's just that no one in the Qiao family had any experience in papermaking before, so Liu Yong had to give a rough explanation of the entire papermaking process from front to back, so that everyone could have a basic understanding, and then assign personnel according to their positions, and then explain them in detail one process at a time.

The waste of time in papermaking is mainly in the soaking process, because of the different raw materials, such as hemp, grass, leaves, etc., the soaking time is shorter, and to make high-grade paper such as bamboo paper and rice paper, it takes as long as three months. In order to familiarize everyone with the process as soon as possible, and not to delay the time of real papermaking, Liu Yong chose a few ponds, one to make poor quality but shorter time to make straw paper, and the other to make high-quality but time-consuming bamboo paper. At the same time, in order to save time, the bamboo and wood are first cut into thin slices, and then lime is added to the water. These originally cost a lot of money, but fortunately, Qiao Xuan's family has a big business, and if they want money, they want people, but Liu Yong has what he needs, so he will do it immediately.

"Brothers, I've worked hard today, I'll go to the back kitchen to take a look and add a dish for everyone." Liu Yong saw that some of the craftsmen were cutting trees, some were carrying, some were breaking bamboo, and some were splitting ...... I had nothing to do, so I volunteered to prepare food.

The cooks were preparing to cook their hooves, and there were more people who were going to eat today, and Liu Yong saw that they were busy, so he rolled up his sleeves to help. These cooks have dealt with Liu Yong a few times, and they are clear about his character, so they are not surprised, and they joke from time to time.

After a while, the hooves were cleaned, but the hands were also covered with black oil, so Liu Yong looked for a cloth to wipe them. Aunt Cui, the cook, smiled: "You can't use a cloth, you have to use this to clean it." As he spoke, he took out a bag of firewood ash from an earthen pot, "Use this to rub first, and then rinse it with water to clean it." Liu Yong's heart moved, wasn't the earliest soap made in this way?

Liu Yong's blood was boiling suddenly, and he immediately found the person in charge, saying that he needed lard, iron pot, coarse salt, plant ash, etc., and listed a lot, and the person in charge didn't know what Liu Yong was going to do, but Qiao Gong had already explained that he listened to Liu Yong in everything, so although he had doubts, he quickly prepared according to his instructions.

Liu Yong first mixed the plant ash with water, let it settle down, filtered out the clear alkaline juice on the top, put it in an iron pot to boil, and then carefully added lard in proportion, stirring while cooking. After waiting for the saponification reaction for a period of time, Liu Yong poured a large amount of coarse salt into the pot, which is called salting-out. After a while, a layer of pale yellow clots gradually floated in the cauldron, and Liu Yong was overjoyed, and the soap was about to be made.

"Liu Gongzi, what is this delicious?" When the cooks saw that they had used so much lard, they thought that Liu Yong was making something delicious.

"Huh. You'll find out in a moment. Liu Yong made a mystery, collected the curd in the pot, put it into the mold he made and cold it into lumps, and then happily took the "soap" to the cook.

"What is this?" The cook asked, puzzled.

"You wash this dress and take a look." Liu Yong did not answer.

The cook was puzzled and washed with "soap", not to mention, many stains that were not easy to wash were washed away.

"How? Can it be washed cleanly? Liu Yong smiled, with a smug look on his face.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Cui's expression changed suddenly, and she said angrily and anxiously: "Liu Gongzi, how many pieces of this kind of thing did you use so much lard?" You didn't calculate how much lard cost? How expensive is salt? Although it is not very clean to wash with soap, it does not matter, but washing it in your way may cost more than buying a new one. Who would be willing to use this to do their laundry? Even a wealthy family like the Qiao family probably wouldn't dare to do this, this is too much of a loser. The more Aunt Cui spoke, the more angry she became, and a handful of tears and snot fell.

The cook's words were like a scoop of ice water poured on Liu Yong's heart, but it also woke him up. Yes, I'm detached from reality, most people don't even have oil for dinner nowadays, but I use it to make soap, it's really a bastard. Looking at it like this, if it weren't for the fact that I am the benefactor of the Qiao family, I am afraid that I would want to beat me up.

Liu Yong blamed himself for a while, but he was unwilling, so that he was also distracted when playing chess with Da Qiao, and made mistakes again and again. Xiao Qiao stretched out a small hand and shook it in front of Liu Yong's eyes, and teased: "Brother Liu has a crush on which girl again, and he is always in a daze today." ”

Da Qiao took a sip of his sister and said with concern: "Is Brother Liu too tired?" Otherwise, if we don't go down today, Brother Liu will go and rest early. The two sisters were also familiar with Liu Yong, so they also called Brother Liu with Dong Yun.

Liu Yong looked at Xiao Qiao's white jade-like little hands, smelled a light fragrance in his nose, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, turned his head to look at Da Qiao and Dong Yun's concerned eyes, moved and warm, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry!" I suddenly thought of something, and I was a little distracted. ”

Da Qiao said with concern: "Since Brother Liu has something to do, it must be important, you should go quickly." ”

Liu Yong said a little embarrassedly: "Let's finish playing chess with Sister Ying." ”

Da Qiao Bingxue is smart, how can he not hear that Liu Yong is words are insincere, so he persuaded again: "Brother Liu, go quickly, don't think about accompanying us." There is so much that our three sisters can do. ”

Xiao Qiao also said: "Yes." Brother Liu was absent-minded, and it didn't make much sense to go down. We can ask Sister Yun'er to accompany us on horseback and shoot arrows, you can go quickly. ”
