After digesting glycerin, it is a little difficult to use Yang He.

Because the strong squeezing (same explosive) drug of digestive glycerin is not ignited by fire, and the ignition of digestive glycerin will only produce combustion and will not explode, and the detonation of this squeezing (same explosive) charge must be triggered by impact or explosion, for example, first detonate the thunder hall (same tube), and then use the explosive force of the mine hall (same tube) to detonate this squeezing (same explosive) drug.

(Since these words are sensitive words, they are replaced by digestive glycerin, which is not a typo.) About how to make digestive glycerin, I can't write it completely here, and the online article is not allowed to write these things, but I can only say a general meaning, please forgive me. ）

Of course, Yang He will make it, but using the Thunder Pavilion (same tube) and Thunder Pavilion (same tube) to detonate the squeezing (same explosive) medicine can only be used to deliver mines, and the mines are passive weapons, which are only useful when defending, and cannot play any role when attacking.

In order for digestive glycerin to work, there is only another way to detonate it, which is to use the impact force to detonate the hydroglycerin.

This explosive (same as mercury) was used as an explosive agent for a long time in later generations.

However, the safety of Lei Gong (with mercury) is too poor, it is easy to cause explosion, and Lei Gong (with mercury) is highly toxic and has extremely strong corrosiveness. Like the digestive glycerin, a big killer, the slightest carelessness can lead to disaster.

Considering the existing conditions, the safety and practicality of Regon (same as mercury) are completely disproportionate. Yang He eventually gave up the production of Lei Gong (the same as mercury). Only digestive glycerol is used as a propellant. Although it is mixed with charcoal ash, there is still residue after combustion, but it is much less residue from solid digestion of glycerin than gunpowder, and it is easier to clean.

……

In addition to training, Yang He now spends most of his time developing weapons every day, and occasionally finds some time to go to the salt field to have a look.

The salt farm began to boil salt half a month ago, and Yang He only used 100 people to cook salt in the early stage. Since this work has never been done before, the efficiency is naturally not as good as that of those serious salt workers, and they can only cook more than 1,000 catties of salt every day.

A total of 15,000 catties were cooked in half a month, and according to one lead 300 catties, 15,000 catties of salt is 50 catties.

The price of salt in the market is three taels of silver per catty, ninety taels of silver for one lead, and four thousand five hundred taels of silver if fifty taels of salt are sold at the market price.

However, Yang He naturally couldn't do retail business, Yang He had already negotiated with Fan Liu, let Fan Liu find a home, and then he would give half of the profits to those salt merchants. That is to say, Yang He can finally get more than 2,200 taels of silver for 50 salt introductions, minus the cost of salt workers and miscellaneous expenses. The profit was close to two thousand taels.

For many people, earning two thousand taels of silver in half a month may be an astronomical amount, but for Yang He, two thousand taels of silver is simply not enough.

Yang He now has to support not only his own 200 families, but also the families of Heiyunhe and others, a total of 400 people, and these 400 soldiers need more than 1,000 taels of silver per month.

In addition, Yang He also has to feed more than 1,000 recruits and those teaching gentlemen, which costs more than 1,000 taels of silver, plus various benefits and rewards, and it costs more than 3,000 taels to raise soldiers in a month.

There are also those craftsmen, who also cost nearly a thousand taels of silver every month.

In addition to the expenses of purchasing materials for the production of weapons, it will cost at least nearly 5,000 taels of silver in a month.

In other words, in order to maintain the expenses, Yang He also needs to increase the manpower of boiling salt.

Of course, before that, it is necessary to sell the salt and see how it is sold, if the market is good, the manpower can be increased, if the market is not good, and the manpower is hastily increased, the boiled salt cannot be sold, and it will only increase the burden.

However, Yang He was obviously overconcerned, and Fan Liu quickly contacted a subordinate family, and the subordinate said that he wanted all the salt as much as he wanted, and he also had a way to solve it.

Upon learning of the news, Yang He immediately ordered Zhang Fengwu to send people to the surrounding area to buy cauldrons.

It took more than a month for Zhang Fengwu to send people to various places to buy hundreds of cauldrons one after another (you can't buy them in large quantities at one time, it will arouse suspicion.) ）

After the cauldron was bought, Yang He immediately asked Dong Laohan to recruit villagers to boil salt.

At this time, the common people did not have much work, and they heard that boiling salt could earn at least one or two taels of silver every month, and those villagers joined the army of boiling salt, and soon Yang He had nearly a thousand salt workers under him.

Just when Yang He was busy every day, Zhang Ming came to Funing County first.

After seeing the ceremony, Yang He ordered Li Wei to serve tea to Zhang Ming first, and then said with a smile: "What is the matter with the third brother's visit this time?" ”

Zhang Mingxian smiled and nodded: "The Ministry of War was stationed at Xifengkou yesterday, and the second brother was transferred to Zhangjiakou Fort to garrison. ”

Yang He nodded, knowing that it must have been Yuan Keli and the others who used their strength.

After thinking about it, Yang He said, "When are you going to leave?" Before leaving, the four of us will get together, and my eldest brother and I will practice it for you. ”

Zhang Mingxian smiled: "This is easy to say, I came mainly to tell you another thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Yang He asked.

"When are you going to propose to Lady Liu?" Zhang Ming said first.

"Propose? What do you mention? Yang He wondered.

Zhang Ming glared at Yang He first and said, "What are you pretending to be confused?" Mrs. Liu's mother and daughter have lived in the Shihe military camp for so long, you are not ready to let the mother and daughter live in the military camp for the rest of their lives, right? And my second brother and I are about to leave, who will take care of them after we leave? ”

Yang He sighed when he heard this: "Third brother, I also know that I can't always let Mrs. Liu's family live in the barracks all the time, but you can also see that I don't have anything on my side......"

"Nothing? I don't think you've thought about it at all. I ask you, you have built so many houses for those people here, but what about your own house? Zhang Mingxian asked with a glare.

Shaking his head, Zhang Mingxian sighed: "Brother, you are not too young, and it is time to start a family." Miss Liu has both good looks and is an official eunuch, so she is a good match for you. ”

Yang He nodded slightly.

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and arrange a place for Mrs. Liu's family, and find someone to propose to the Liu family immediately! Zhang Ming said first.

Yang He pondered for a while and said, "In this way, third brother, I will buy a house for the Liu family in the city first, let Mrs. Liu and them move over first, and after they settle down, how about we discuss the matter of proposing?" ”

"Two things in one place! Fourth, the two sisters of the Liu family are very pitiful now, don't look at them now, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but you should understand their situation. I won't hide it from you, I went to visit Mrs. Liu the day before yesterday, and I looked worried. What is Mrs. Liu worried about, and I don't need to explain the reason to you, right? Zhang Ming said first.

Yang He nodded silently.

In this era, women get married relatively early, and they generally marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Miss Liu has long passed the age of marriage, but Yang He has not moved at all, as a mother, how can Mrs. Liu not be in a hurry?

After pondering for a while, Yang He smiled and said, "Third brother, I don't understand these things very well, why don't you help me find someone to propose to the Liu family." ”

Zhang Mingxian smiled when he heard this: "The matter of proposing marriage is on me, you just have to arrange the house, and you have to find a serious place to live." ”

Yang He nodded and asked Li Wei to invite Zhang Fengwu over.

After a while, Zhang Fengwu rushed over.

After Zhang Fengwu and Zhang Ming greeted each other, Yang He smiled and beckoned Zhang Fengwu to sit down.

Pouring a cup of tea for Zhang Fengwu, Yang He smiled and said, "Brother Qi, there is something I want to bother you." ”

Zhang Fengwu smiled when he heard this: "Brother Yingshi, please say something." ”

Yang He smiled: "Help me buy a house." ”

"Why do you buy a house?" Zhang Fengwu said strangely.

"That's ......," Yang He immediately told Zhang Fengwu about the situation of the Liu family.

Zhang Fengwu smiled when he heard this: "I don't need to buy the house, because I have already prepared it for you." ”

"Ready? When did you prepare, and how do I not know? Yang Heqi said.

Zhang Fengwu smiled: "You are so busy every day, where can you take care of those?" ”

Smiling, Zhang Fengwu continued: "I won't tell you, I have prepared three houses for you." One is in the county seat, one is in Shangyanghe Township, and one is in Xiayanghe Township, all of which are courtyards of Sanjin, and I estimate that they are almost built now. ”

"Why are you preparing so many houses for me?" Yang He shook his head and said.

Zhang Fengwu said with a smile: "You have settled all the people, but you don't even have a place to live, what do people think?" You must know that only when you are stable, can everyone's hearts be stable. ”

"Then you don't need to build so many houses, right?" Yang He smiled bitterly.

"That way you don't have to run back and forth." Zhang Fengwu sighed.

Yang He nodded silently, sighed and said, "Brother Qi, it's hard work." ”

Zhang Fengwu shook his head and smiled: "Brother Yingshi, you have thought of everything, only your own things can't be thought of, no way, only I can help you think about these things." ”

Yang He smiled and patted Zhang Fengwu's hand gently.

"Mr. Zhang, can the house in the city be cleaned up in the next two days?" Zhang Ming said suddenly.

Zhang Fengwu said with a smile: "It's basically cleaned up, in fact, I can live in it now, but I still have some furniture." ”

"The furniture is slowly purchased, as long as I can live in it, I will arrange for someone to move Mrs. Liu's family when I go back, and then I will go to the door to propose to Mrs. Liu." Zhang Ming said first.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Yang He smiled bitterly.

"What's the matter? My second brother and I are going to work soon, and before leaving, you must give your family affairs a decision, otherwise, you may not be able to delay it for a while. Zhang Ming said first.

Zhang Fengwu said in surprise when he heard this: "Propose, what promote?" ”

Zhang Mingxian smiled and said: "Miss Liu, Mr. Zhang, let me tell you, this young lady of the Liu family is both good and beautiful, and she is definitely a good match for my brother." To be honest, if something hadn't happened to Lord Liu, where would such a person have my brother's turn? ”

Zhang Fengwu couldn't help nodding when he heard this, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

As Yang He's staff, Zhang Fengwu naturally had to consider Yang He's choice of mate.

Zhang Fengwu knows very well that if Yang He can marry the eunuch's family, then Yang He's career will get some help.

But the situation like the Liu family is different. (To be continued.) )
