The atmosphere at the scene was in an uproar!

Qingfeng County is located in the northwest of Datong, less than 100 miles away from the border line of Dahua, if the Hu people use troops here, everyone knows what the result will be.

"It's impossible, every year we more or less receive news of Hu Ren's offense, but this year there is no rumor. Some time ago, I asked a merchant from the grassland, and he said that the grassland today is not even visible to herdsmen, so how can he be on the border? ”

It was Li Hu who spoke, he was asked by Qian Yu to be in charge of all the things in the cement kiln, and Qian Yu never asked him what he was doing, including the two kilns of cement he burned.

If it had been another owner, he would have gotten out of the house a long time ago, but now he eats and drinks well, does things well, and often gets rewards, so he can't accept this kind of natural and man-made disasters.

Shi Shi was much more stable, he looked at Qian Yu and asked, "How sure are you of the news that the Hu people have committed crimes?" ”

In the face of doubts, before Qian Yu could speak, Jiang Feng beside him was not happy: "This news was transmitted by my subordinates at the risk of their lives, and I planted a dark line in the grassland, so most of the matter died, do you say it is true or false?" ”

Originally, the news of Hu Ren's offense was top secret, but because the production of gunpowder was inseparable from these people, in order to improve their enthusiasm, after Liu Shijun's consent, Qian Yu and Jiang Feng decided to make this secret public.

At this time, everyone's eyes moved to Jiang Feng, he had been following behind Qian Yu, everyone thought that this guy was the same as the fourth generation of Zuo, he was hired by Qian Yu to work, now listening to the meaning of his words, does this guy still have a great background?

The old village chief suddenly spoke: "What Brother Qian said should be right, the old man has been frightened all this time, and the last time he felt this way was five years ago." At that time, Shi's father personally tasted the poisonous salt, and the old man did not sleep all night before, and the result was ...... This time, the feeling is ten times worse than the last time! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Qian Yu: "This is why I tried my best to defy public opinion and put the livelihood of the whole village in your hands, the old man has a hunch that you are the only one who can save all this." ”

In fact, the old village chief still has something to say, Qian Yu has a strange background, he has been secretly observing the other party's every move, when he sees that Qian Yu is at ease no matter what he does, he guessed that the other party is not simple, maybe Qian Yu is the one sent by God to save them!

Qian Yu finally said: "Regardless of whether the Hu people knock on the customs or not, there is nothing wrong with us taking precautions." Yunxi is very dangerous now, I want to ask everyone's opinion, should we move south as a whole, or stay here and hold on? ”

A group of people looked at each other, if it was before, they would definitely choose to leave, and now they have finally laid some foundations, especially the cement kiln, which has not yet made money, and if they give up, everything will be ruined.

Li Hu expects Ai Ai: "Brother Qian, if we stay, how can we resist the attack of 100,000 Hu people?" ”

The others thought about the same as Li Hu, and they all looked at Qian Yu blankly, waiting for him to say one, two, three.

Qian Yu looked at the strange eyes of these people, not to mention the surprise in his heart. In his mind, most of the villagers would choose to move south, after all, the truth of "saving land and losing people, losing people and land" is still clear to everyone.

But they know that they are dead and alive, and they still want to stick to it, the reason is of course Qian Yu knows, some people used to say that the people are the easiest to be satisfied, as long as they have something to eat, they will be docile as sheep, Qian Yu didn't believe it, but now he believes it.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Yu said: "If you want to block the invasion of the Hu people, I can't help the entire Datong Mansion, but it's only Qingfeng County, and it's not a big problem if nothing happens." But there is a premise for this, you will be very tired in the next time, and we need to produce a large amount of materials in the shortest possible time. ”

"As long as I can stop the Hu people, no matter how hard and tired I am, I am willing." This time it was the hammer who spoke first, and he lowered his head and said, "My mother is seventy and three this year, and if she migrates, I'm worried that she won't be able to survive." ”

Not only Hammer, Stone and Li Hu, but also several new Yunxi Science and Technology backbones expressed their willingness to endure hardships.

The old village chief sighed: "Brother Qian, if you have an idea, just do it, it's not easy for the people in the village to get this little thing, it's a pity to throw it away in vain." ”

Qian Yu nodded, with so many lives at stake, he would naturally do his best.

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, the rooster suddenly spoke: "Actually, you don't have to worry about those Hu people at all, I have a way to ensure that it will be fine." ”

Everyone looked at him in amazement, Qian Yu was also very curious, although he had an idea, but it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to implement it, could it be that the rooster had a better idea?

Seeing that the success attracted everyone's attention, the rooster was very proud: "My method is very simple, it is to surrender!" ”

"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

The rooster explained: "You must surrender, think about it, no matter how cruel the Hu people are, they can only grab some grain, gold and silver, and they can take away the brick kiln?" What about cement kilns? You can't take it away! Not to mention the salt works. Therefore, as long as we hide the grain, gold and silver, we are absolutely safe. ”

Jiang Feng glanced at him and said lightly: "The Hu people will take you away as a slave!" ”

The rooster doesn't care about the stall hand: "It's okay! Anyway, I don't have the power to tie the chickens, and I eat and drink them when I go over there, and I don't have to work, how cool! ”

All......

Qian Yu didn't bother to pay attention to this guy with a missing brain, he asked Hammer and Li Hu: "What happened to the firing of red bricks and cement?" ”

Hammer said: "The red bricks have been burning, and five brick kilns have been expanded recently, but the sales have stagnated, and Cheng Si and those people have also set up several brick kilns at the entrance of the village, and the prices they offer are lower, which has a great impact on us."

Do you think we should also reduce the price? I have calculated that according to the production line operation method you mentioned, the output of the brick kiln has been increased by half while the cost remains the same. As long as we sell at cost price, at most half a year, Cheng Si will have to take his group of fox friends and dog friends to get out! ”

Qian Yu looked at the hammer directly, the impression of the hammer on him has always been that he is honest and wooden, why is he murderous when he hasn't seen him for a few days?

People really change! When a person who has been hungry suddenly has an extra piece of bread in his hand, whoever dares to grab it, he dares to fight hard! And the more honest the person, the more ruthless he will be!

Shaking his head, Qian Yu said: "We can't reduce the price now, and we have to limit the supply of red bricks." ”

Seeing that the hammer was puzzled, he explained: "Don't worry, these bricks will be used in other things, and I have decided to increase the price of it by another two percent." You can recruit more people to ensure that the output of the brick kiln is doubled compared to the current one. ”

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Feng: "Lord Jiang, building a gunpowder workshop requires a lot of masonry and cement, you see this material ......."

Jiang Feng glanced at him lightly: "Lord Liu asked you to supervise the gunpowder workshop, of course you have the final say on these small things." ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Qian Yu looked at Li Hu.

Li Hu is obviously ready: "Although the output of cement kilns is not as good as that of brick kilns, it is also rising steadily. A few days ago, I did a few experiments and burned two kilns of cement, but I found a new way to burn cement. The new cement has improved its purity, viscosity, and production efficiency. ”

Qian Yu waved his hand: "As long as you do the experiment, just report how many bad materials you use, and you don't have to tell me." ”

This sentence alone moved Li Hu to almost cry. There are always all kinds of strange ideas popping up in his head, and every time he implements them, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he is reprimanded by the master. He never dreamed that Qian Yu would be so tolerant of him, he felt that even if he died for Qian Yu, it would be worth it.

In fact, you can't blame others for being harsh, the experiment means failure, once or twice is easy to say, ten times eight times, or even hundreds of times may have no progress, and you can't afford to lose at all without a certain strength.

Qian Yu dared to let Li Hu experiment, because he himself had a perfect theory and knew where the direction of success was, so he dared to let the other party rest assured, otherwise he could only hehe.
