Chapter 694: Pre-War Quartermasters

Lemei on the side smiled, "Actually, there is no surprise, those sugar and brown sugar in the south are made of sugar cane." One grows on the ground and one on the ground. ”

Hearing this, the Ninth Princess smiled, "That's what I said, but the yield of sugar beets is very large, and it is suitable for cultivation in the north. Sugar beets are grown in the north to make sugar, and when they are sold in the north, the price of sugar can go down. Maybe even ordinary people can buy a pack. ”

Lemei nodded and said with emotion: "The wife of a poor family is confined, and the best thing is just brown sugar and eggs. Not everyone is willing to drink chicken soup and eat chicken. ”

Just as their master and servant were talking, Gu Shao came back.

Gu Shao's gaze fell on the packets of sugar in the hands of the Ninth Princess, "This is sent by Mrs. Derui?" ”

The ninth princess smiled, "My husband is amazing, and I guessed it right at once." ”

Gu Shao shook his head and smiled, "Because if it's just ordinary sugar, it won't reach Her Royal Highness the princess at all, and it will be sent directly to the kitchen." ”

The ninth princess smiled, "Husband is right. Ordinary sugar really can't get in front of me. Now that Pan'er's sister's workshop has made sugar, I want to do business with Pan'er's sister. ”

Gu Shao thought for a while, "It's okay to do business, but you have to use it in the north first." After all, there is a war going on right now, and what is made from a mixture of sugar and oil is the best way to fight hunger. ”

"It's winter soon, and it's very hard to fight outside. Therefore, all kinds of materials, first close to the war. ”

The Ninth Princess nodded again and again, "Of course, after all, Sister Pan'er's husband, Li Yuanqing, is fighting in front." ”

"Even if we do business, it is estimated that this year's sugar will not be sold in the capital or other cities, and most of them will stay in the local area."

"By doing business, I mean next year, after everything has stabilized. There are not only silk woven from silk around our mulberry city, but also these precious sugars. ”

"These things may not be very competitive when they are shipped to the south, but when they are shipped to Beirong, they will be very popular and valuable."

Gu Shao nodded after hearing this, "This is reasonable!" ”

Sure enough, as the ninth princess guessed, Liu Paner decided to leave all the white sugar produced in the mall as a strategic material.

The Ninth Princess admired, "Just used it for the army in vain?" ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Your Majesty has given our family so many rewards, and now that the war is tight, and my husband is on the front line, of course I will give full support to the rear." ”

"Sugar beet can be grown every year, sugar can be made every year, and business can never be rushed."

The Ninth Princess nodded in agreement, "What Sister Pan'er said is, then what are we going to do next?" What can I do? ”

Liu Paner replied: "Now arrange the stewards below, trim the land, and then plant rapeseed." Wait until next year, the rape flowers all over the mountains are golden and beautiful, and when the flowers are gone, there will be bunches of rapeseed. These rapeseeds can be used to extract oil to satisfy the common people in the north. ”

"In addition, as the weather gets colder and colder, the war in the north is tight, so I am going to mobilize the women of the whole city to sew cotton clothes and leather jackets. Of course, this is for wages. ”

"There is a lot of rain and snow in the north, and ordinary shoes are not good at all, so we should make more cowhide boots and add some waterproof warmth to them."

The ninth princess wrote them down one by one, "Sister Pan'er, I will do my part with you." ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Okay, we can't do other things, but these clothes and shoes can be organized to be done by women in the city and even in the countryside." ”

Li Rongxing rushed over, "Mother, the first batch of rabbits we raised are now five or six catties, and the rear is processed and made into salted rabbit meat and sent to the front line." ”

Li Li also brought good news, "Aunt Liu, rabbit skin and sheepskin, nitrated, dried and made into leather, worn outside cotton clothes, especially warm." ”

Seeing that the little helper was coming, Liu Paner smiled, "Okay, well done." The fighters were well fed, warmly dressed, and more combative. ”

The ninth princess followed Liu Pan'er and learned a lot.

More and more women are organized to sew cotton clothes and leather clothes, and it is also in the form of assembly lines.

A person who sews sleeves, specializes in sewing sleeves.

Different parts are divided into different people, and finally sewn together, which greatly improves the efficiency.

The same goes for cowhide boots, which are made with thick wool and a thick sole, which is especially warm.

The north is cold, and the promotion of chili peppers, of course, has also reached Sangcheng.

Even ordinary people grow chili peppers at home, and even if they can't sell them at a price, they can still eat them at home.

Boiled mutton fat chili has become the most popular seasoning in the army.

The big pot stew in the barracks doesn't taste good, but adding a spoonful of mutton fat and spicy seeds will immediately make the food in the bowl a little more flavorful.

Every ten days, tens of thousands of rabbits are sent to the barracks, with an average of one rabbit for ten people.

It's not much, but you can eat a few pieces of meat.

In addition, the soldiers received cotton coats and leather jackets one after another, which made them warmer. Wearing gloves and protecting your hands, especially a pair of cowhide boots, on your feet, you feel that the whole person is warm.

The water for soaking your feet at night is made with herbs to prevent chilblains. If you have chilblains, it can also relieve itching.

In short, Liu Paner tried her best to improve the logistics work.

Even General Zhao was surprised when he saw what Liu Paner did.

He wrote them down one by one so that he could learn from them later.

Li Yuanqing naturally also received good things from his wife

Li Yuanqing finally found the opportunity to make sure that the princes of Beirong had already started fighting, and he began to act.

Li Yuanqing finished deploying, and then began to attack in the front, attracting eighty percent of the troops of Beiyun City.

In peacetime, in order to guard against the Great Zhou, 50,000 troops were stationed on the side of Beiyi City, of which 30,000 were cavalry.

Usually, the third prince is in charge of Beiyun City, but now he is busy going back to fight for the throne.

Directly took away 30,000 cavalry, leaving only 20,000 to defend the city.

Most of the 20,000 people are not strong in combat.

The terrain of Beiyun City is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so many years of Da Zhou has only stuck to Mulberry City, and has never invaded Beiyun City.

The third prince left 20,000 people and felt that it was more than enough to defend the city, so he was relieved to boldly compete for the throne.

But these people never expected that Da Zhou would send troops.

The soldiers of Beiyun City couldn't believe that Da Zhou's tactics were like sheep, and we might cross the middle line to attack Beiyun City?

But Da Zhou just started a war!

hurriedly got up to meet the enemy, only to see the black army below, and trembled with fright.

Li Yuanqing did not attack, but chose to encircle, and only sent a small group of people to attack.
