"I want my Fan Wan'er to be as beautiful as a flower, but she hooks up with such a dirt bun." Fan Wan'er looked at Li Shuwei beside her, and she was really disgusted.

It has been a few days since she arrived in Jinzhou City, and Yuan Qingying has been gone for a long time, but Fan Wan'er still hasn't been able to see Zhou Qingfeng. It doesn't matter if you can't see the young marshal of the 'revolutionary army', but Li Shuwei comes every day to call Fan Wan'er to go out and 'play' - play a big-headed ghost, follow this dirt bun to inspect the field every day, or go to the cowshed to work as a veterinarian.

Other talented and beautiful women are all under the moon before the flowers, vowing to the alliance, and the love is strong, like glue and honey. Fan Wan'er is used to being a sought-after fairy female cultivator, and she is beautiful and refined, as if she does not eat the fireworks of the world. Li Shuwei pulls Fan Wan'er to work every day, running around in an ox cart every day, not to mention the smelly sweat, and dirty.

Within a few days, Fan Wan'er also knew that she must have messed up this errand. She wanted to leave but couldn't, she just hoped that she would speak coldly and not give a good face, so that Li Shuwei would know the difficulty and let herself go. But Li Shuwei didn't know that tendon was wrong, and he took Fan Wan'er around every day, which was very energetic.

"Look, that's the reservoir we're building. The engineering team of the Ministry of Agriculture under me is working, and they are not skilled enough, so they can only pick up earth to build a dam. It is now the dry season, and the water flow is not large, so it will be enough to store water with an earthen dam first. After the earth dam is built, we will build a stone dam downstream and it will be strong. Don't underestimate the earth dam, which is only a few meters high, it can also store water. ”

In the past few days, Li Shuwei has given Fan Wan'er a full of farmland and water conservancy knowledge. The dignified and fairy-like nun was so contaminated with a rustic atmosphere that she couldn't even wear her black feather coat, so she had to change into a set of homespun clothes—the other suitors were all elegant in conversation and exquisite in gifts. Li Shuwei only said some things about farming, and the gift was even more extravagant, so it was strange that Fan Wan'er could give a good face.

The two of them were located in the mountains east of Lushun, and a river flowing out of the hills crossed in front of them. Hundreds of laborers are building a small reservoir on the site that could be used to store water for irrigation. Several water conservancy workshops will also be built downstream of the reservoir, all of which will be powered by water, from mills to sawmills. After all, steam power will not be sufficient for more than a decade.

Li Shuwei was proud of this plan, standing next to the earthen dam and constantly discussing the technical details with the dam construction leaders at the site. Fan Wan'er didn't feel anything, it was very boring. It's boring enough to talk about a dam, and the next thing is called hunting.

Li Shuwei actually took Fan Wan'er to a big dung field. After the 'revolutionary army' took control of the entire Liaodong Peninsula, it attached great importance to the development of agriculture, and collecting manure and composting was a necessary thing. However, a special manure field can be set up not for fertilizer collection, but for nitrate collection.

The history of the use of black powder will continue for a long, long time, and even in the industrial era, when a large number of high-performance explosives appeared, there were still many weapons that used black powder. For example, the propellant of the famous RPG-7 rocket launcher is black powder, because it is cheap and easy to use.

Among the ingredients of black powder, fine charcoal and sulfur are relatively easy to obtain raw materials, but saltpeter is a trouble. Failing to make a breakthrough in the chemical industry, the only way the British could collect potassium nitrate before acquiring saltpeter mines in Chile was through manure – nitrate ions obtained by breaking down humus with nitrifying bacteria. Before industrialization, all countries in Europe did this.

The official name of the manure field is 'Nitrate', and it looks like a large manure pit when you look at it directly. In addition to the collected feces, there are various animal carcasses, such as mollusks and trash fish fish. The specific nitrate production process requires considerable chemical knowledge to understand, but this method of producing potassium nitrate has one of the biggest characteristics - it is so smelly!

Fan Wan'er's face changed greatly before she got close to the nitrate field, and when she saw the disgusting 'field' at home, she pointed at Li Shuwei and was speechless. Li Shuwei also said proudly: "It's a little stinky, but this is the best way to collect nitrate by the soil method, and we can use the inexhaustible black powder in the future." ”

Fan Wan'er turned her head and ran, running in tears!

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I never want to see this stinky man again."

Fan Wan'er didn't understand why she followed Li Shuwei to see the nitrate. She has been running around with this stinky man for the past few days, and what she has seen and heard is completely different from the people and things she has seen in the past - she has experienced the wind and dust, seen a lot of ugly things, and feels that she has seen through everything. But when he got to Li Shuwei's side, he found that he didn't understand anything at all.

Fan Wan'er is conceited and beautiful, except for hating women who are more beautiful than herself, she already feels that there is nothing in this world that can touch her. She has seen a lot of high-ranking officials who talk about it to please her, a lot of handsome literati who worship at the corners of her skirts, and a greedy and wealthy businessman who forgets her righteousness, but she has never seen a man who can change the world.

Fan Wan'er obviously hated Li Shuwei's rustic atmosphere, but as long as she saw the explosives exploding, saw the canal being excavated, and saw the people cheering, she felt that she couldn't help but be attracted to another world. The sinister human nature, ghost tricks, and conspiracy theories taught by her master Xu Hongru are not worth anything compared to this upright conspiracy.

To put it simply, others are doing things worse and worse, and the wind and snow can't hide the hidden decay and decline. But Li Shuwei can do things better and better. Although Fan Wan'er felt that Li Shuwei was rustic, she knew that what this man did could benefit countless people.

This is the right way in the world.

Fan Wan'er has seen a lot of rhetoric, but it is the first time she has seen hard work.

The more and more experiences in the past are more and more profound, and the stronger and more shocking Fan Wan'er's feelings are now. Many seemingly unsolvable contradictions were easily solved in Li Shuwei's hands. She has always believed that 'there is no way in the sky, and human nature is evil', but these truths have become absurd in front of Li Shuwei. What the White Lotus Sect has done over the past hundreds of years seems ridiculous and hateful.

It's not the darkness of this world, it's just the darkness around you.

Fan Wan'er's heart was lost.

After escaping from the 'nitrate', Fan Wan'er has been crying, spilling soil with tears while speeding through the mountains. She hasn't really cried since she was out of school. Being ridiculed, cursed, and cursed, she can sneer. But this will make her cry inexplicably, crying extremely sadly. waited until she was about to return to Jinzhou City, she stopped her tears, and only then did she understand why she was crying?

"That guy is so stupid, how can he take a girl to a place like the stinking place of the nitrate? I am not the same as him, if he knew that my past was unbearable, he would definitely abandon me, and even wave a knife at each other. Forget it, I'm still good to go. This 'revolutionary army' is much more powerful than Master's, and we are no match for others at all. ”

fled all the way back to Jinzhou, Fan Wan'er wanted to pack up her things and leave quickly. But when she arrived at the city gate, she saw a grimace on a brick at the foot of the wall. At first glance, this grimace looked like a child's graffiti, but her heart tightened—this was the contact pattern of believers within the White Lotus Sect, and according to the pattern of the pattern, the identity of the person who drew the picture was not low.

"Oh no, Master sent someone."

Golden State is the current administrative capital of the 'Revolutionary Army'. There are garrisons of the Guards around the city, and there are also members of the newly formed Security Department patrolling the city. Any suspicious face will be intercepted and checked for ID cards, no matter who it is, no matter how high the cultivation is, it will fall into the eyes of the people's surveillance.

Within a few days of Fan Wan'er arriving in Jinzhou, she knew the power of this monitoring system. The 'revolutionary army' brought real benefits to the people just by rectifying the city, and the people in the city were all interested in the 'revolutionary army', and they would report any trouble.

Looking at the grimace on the bricks of the city wall, Fan Wan'er quietly erased it. She followed the directions of the grimace pattern and walked westward, and soon saw some conspicuous patterns carved into the trunks of trees and stones. Following the guidance of the pattern, I actually arrived at the seaside not far from the west of Jinzhou City. She walked around a village by the sea for a while, and a lewd man immediately came out of the village and shouted at her, "Senior Sister Fan." ”

This lewd man was of medium height, with unkempt hair, sloppy clothing, and was dressed in rags tied only with a straw rope. He beckoned, looked behind Fan Wan'er again, and shouted, "Senior sister, come into the house." ”

Fan Wan'er frowned when she saw this person, "Fourth Senior Brother said if there is something, I won't enter your house." ”

The lewd man grinned and said, "I haven't seen you for half a month, why doesn't my junior sister wear your favorite gauze?" But you smell weird in this outfit. It's just that you're still so careful, senior brother, can I harm you? ”

"You've hurt a lot of people." Fan Wan'er was not polite to this man at all, and her face was solemn, "If you are fine, I will leave." ”

Seeing that Fan Wan'er was really leaving, the lewd man hurriedly shouted, "Senior sister, don't go." Master has arrived in this Golden State, and specially ordered me to come to find you. ”

Hearing the word 'Master', Fan Wan'er felt extremely sick inexplicably, which had never been done before. She stood on her feet and asked, "What does Master command?" ”

"Hehe......." The lewd man smiled again: "Senior sister doesn't know, senior brother, I came earlier than you." Every day, he collected seafood from this seashore to feed the soldiers of the 'revolutionary army'. I've done more to find out about this 'revolutionary army' than you do.

My sister is also a good skill, and after I came, I hooked up the 'revolutionary army' and the minister of agriculture. That's the Great Thief Chief. The day before yesterday, I went to Golden State to make deliveries, and I saw the two of you going out in a carriage, talking and laughing happily. Master was also very happy to learn of this.

However, the matter of the master sending people to Jinzhou to set up an incense hall encountered some trouble. This 'revolutionary army' did not know what kind of magic trick it had used, and it actually convinced the foolish people here. Your senior brothers are walking everywhere and hitting walls everywhere, so they are distressed. ”

Fan Wan'er couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart, and said secretly: You know a fart, and you still think that the 'revolutionary army' is a waste like the Ming Court? The people rule the place very tightly. All the local gentry have been killed, and the object of your collusion has been cut off. If you are asked to preach to the poor people at the bottom, you will not be able to recruit a few people if you are tired.

The ancient Chinese gentry can be described as a major cancer in grassroots management, and this cancer was particularly powerful in the Ming Dynasty, completely hollowing out the foundation of the country. The reason why the White Lotus Sect has been repeatedly banned depends on the protection and support of the local gentry, and only the local gentry can provide manpower and material resources to the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, relying on those poor peasants who are bitter, the White Lotus Sect will not be able to stand that poor sin.

Fan Wan'er didn't understand this, and neither did the people of the White Lotus Sect. However, they knew that they had arrived at the territory of the 'revolutionary army', and the grassroots managers were all sent by the 'revolutionary army', and they were not the original landlords at all. This makes them lose the soil to put down roots, which is very uncomfortable.

Fan Wan'er knew that her master would never give up easily. Xu Hongru has been entrenched in Shandong for so many years, and there are many kinds of ruthless methods. The lewd man said to Fan Wan'er: "Master feels that the leader of this 'revolutionary army' has too powerful means of controlling the locality, especially Minister Li of the Ministry of Agriculture. If you can kill this person, you may be able to break the game. ”

The lewd man grinned, but Fan Wan'er was stunned. But she quickly replied coldly: "Okay, I'm dizzying that Li Shuwei, and I'll kill him in a few days." ”

The lewd man restrained his smile, "Don't wait a few days, just this afternoon." As long as you lure the surnamed Li out of the city and leave him alone, I will do it with my junior sister. ”
