The Qingfeng army stationed in Luzhou, because of the needs of training, set up seven commanders equivalent to the level of ten thousand households, and the Ge army still retained the original combat style, but Hao Ren added a lot of armor and firearms. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it is not possible to accomplish overnight the seven commanders and Hao Ren to be of one mind, and to let the individual army improve and make breakthroughs in the original tactics.

When Hao Ren was in Shouzhou, there were only thousands of soldiers and horses, and there were only three or five generals, and now tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and more than double digits of generals, Hao Ren can no longer be like in Shouzhou before, and he must always pay attention to the ideological dynamics of the generals, and not allow an army to rebel.

Every morning, when the army goes out to exercise, Hao Ren must take Wu Liujiu and Futong, the two officials of the Governor's Mansion, to inspect the camps one by one, which can be regarded as sending warmth to the grassroots!

He carried out rectification and reform of the tactics of individual armies, made use of their strong points and avoided their weaknesses, and extracted many suggestions for rectification and reform that hit the nail on the side of the times, which was quite beneficial to rapidly increasing the combat effectiveness of various armies.

He put down his value, talked with the generals of various armies with an approachable attitude, listened to the voices of the generals, understood the difficulties in the lives of the generals, and grasped the advantages and disadvantages of each ****** to facilitate the future leadership.

There are a large number of confiscated real estate in Luzhou, Hao Ren did not hesitate to deal with the generals under him, and the officials of more than 10,000 households were all rewarded in the mansion in Luzhou, and the relatives of the generals were placed in the mansion, which was called care and control.

For the generals who did not have a family, Hao Ren came forward from Liu Bowen, who joined the army, and talked to the rich people on the ground in Luzhou about the matchmaker's marriage, and did the matchmaker's business.

Deng Youde, who was only 18 years old, lost his father and brother who took care of him because of the war, his face was always melancholy, and the wounds in his soul could not be healed.

Hao Ren treated his situation and said to Deng Youde: "Use the blood of the enemy to heal the wounds in your heart!" In my opinion, you can change your name and live in a different way, and simply call Deng Yu! ”

Deng Youde was quite satisfied with this suggestion of changing the name and the way of living, and bowed down: "Deng Yu thanks the lord for giving his name!" ”

"Whose girl do you like? Guozuo personally came to your door to propose marriage? Hao Ren pulled Deng Yu up and said condolences again.

Deng Yu blushed and said: "I think Zhang Yuanwai's daughter is good, I don't know if I have made a promise?" ”

"The girl from Zhang Yuanwai's family? I'm afraid it's been promised to someone early, right? Why don't you think about other people's girls again? Hao Ren wanted to suppress first, which made Deng Yu feel desperate.

Three days later, when Liu Bowen took Zhang Yuanwai's daughter's birthday and ran into the barracks with a smile to inform Deng Yu, this matter was done by the host, and Deng Yue almost jumped up!

Hu Dahai's wife is very satisfied with the new mansion, mainly because the garden at the back can grow vegetables, and the old man praised Hu Dahai for his promising, giving the old lady happiness in her old age.

Geng Zaicheng took another concubine, and even walked humming a little tune.

Li Zongke took his family from Anqing and lived in the big mansion assigned by the lord, and the family was happy!

Chang Yuchun was very satisfied with his newly married wife, and when he practiced, his legs and feet shook a little. No matter how brave you are, if you are too much in some way, it is easy to hollow out your body.

Yu Tonghai and Tu Danjun drank a few big bowls of wine, and they were happy!

Under the mediation of Yang Zhengtai, Yang Shu married a girl from the Miao family.

Hao Ren can be said to have worked hard to make the generals of all armies always express their gratitude!

……

In the afternoon, Hao Ren hid in his own room, got a few porcelain utensils, and began to tinker with the refining of table salt!

In the novels of the stall genre, it is often mentioned that the purification of salt in ancient times seems simple, but it is really difficult to operate in practice.

The ingredient of table salt is sodium chloride. Ancient salt contains a large number of impurities, mainly calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, because of the existence of these two impurities, the color of salt is yellow, and the salt has a bitter taste, which affects the appearance and taste.

The use of chemical principles is also very simple, salt is soluble in water, nothing more than: sodium carbonate reacts with calcium chloride to form calcium carbonate precipitate, and sodium chloride; Sodium hydroxide reacts with magnesium chloride to form magnesium hydroxide precipitate and sodium chloride, which are then filtered to remove impurities.

Hao Ren's chemistry is not good, he only knows simple equations, and when he knows that soda ash is sodium carbonate and caustic soda is sodium hydroxide, he even remembered the names of the chemistry teacher's father, mother, and daughter, and finally passed the test, which confirmed that the chemistry teacher seemed to have taught it at the beginning.

Hao Ren was under the oil lamp, there was only a lump of white crystals left in the container, Hao Ren dipped a little in his mouth, it was the taste of salt in the later generations, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and shouted: "I succeeded!" I did it! ”

"Why is the lord so excited?" Liu Bowen knew that Hao Ren Hao was playing tricks, and when he pushed the door in and saw Hao Ren's appearance, he couldn't help shaking his feather fan and asked calmly.

"Salt, salt! Liu joins the army, you have a taste! Hao Ren still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, holding the container containing the salt, wanting Liu Bowen to taste it and share his joy.

Liu Bowen took a little salt with his little finger, he was speechless, his mouth was full of salty fragrance, there was no bitterness in the slightest, and there was no sediment, he stared at his confused eyes, but he still said calmly: "I'm afraid that the best well salt can't reach this quality, but under our rule, there is no salt well?" ”

The ancients did not master the purification of salt, because the well salt is natural, there are fewer impurities, it is the best salt in ancient times, but because of the low yield, difficult mining, ordinary people can only eat cheap sea salt, and it is controlled by the government, and the price of salt is rising year by year.

"No, this is the sea salt that was shipped back from Yangzhou!" Hao Ren said.

"Oh my God!" Liu Bowen couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart anymore, and exclaimed: "Dudu, this is turning stones into gold, I'm afraid that this kind of salt can be sold for ten times the price of salt in the market!" (Note 1)

"Salt is a necessity for the people, don't sell it at such a high price, as long as the price of salt in the market is one and a half times!" Hao Ren said quite sympatheticly.

Hao Ren's salt production area is in Zhang Shicheng's territory, from the Grand Canal to the Yangtze River, Yuxi River, and then into Chaohu Lake into Luzhou, the freight cost is not low, but also need to be re-filtered and purified, the labor cost is not low, plus the loss in the purification process, it can not reach 50% of the cost.

Rao is like this, salt is a necessity for the people, and the sales volume is extremely huge, and this price is enough for Hao Ren to make a lot of money.

Huaxia is so big, in time, I am afraid that salt dealers from all walks of life will gather in Luzhou, in order to be able to wholesale two more stones of salt, and they will fight hard.

Hao Ren has already designed it, under his own rule, to sell salt at a low price, and set up a flat salt bureau in various states and counties to supply and sell salt.

Maybe the people who can't afford to eat the high-quality salt in Luzhou are looking forward to Hao Ren's army, like looking forward to Ganlin!

"Oh, yes!" Hao Ren suddenly remembered that Liu Bowen should have something to do when he came so late, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong with Liu joining the army?" ”

"The day after tomorrow is the day when the lord passes the wedding, the day of the conference, there are already people all the way to participate in advance, I don't know if the governor wants to see it!" Liu Bowen said.

"Which prince came first?" Hao Ren was very curious.

"Runing Mansion Daru Hua Chicha Khan Timur, sent his general Hu Linchi to participate!" Liu Bowen said slowly.

Are you kidding? The leaders of the anti-Yuan rebels from all walks of life did not arrive, why did it be the people of the Mengyuan court who came first!

(Note 1: The price of salt in Mengyuan, Yuan Taizong stipulated that the price of salt was ten taels of silver for every 400 catties of salt, and the price of salt increased year by year in the future!) ）
