"For this? You're a woman, and fighting is a man's business. "Gao Chong doesn't want her to enter the Flying Tiger, once something happens, she will explain to the eldest brother and the Guan family. But it seems that this persuasion work seems to be a bit difficult.

"In the past, there was Mulan, and now there is Liang Hongyu, how can you say that women can't fight! You see I'm not as good as a man, and none of them are my opponents except you. "Guan Lin is full of confidence.

"After all, it is a minority, Hua Mulan is for her father Cong Jun, and Liang Hongyu is going with her husband. What are you? ”

"I am a national hatred and a family feud, and I want to kill the golden dog to avenge Master Gao." This reason is very reluctant, and Guan Lin is not quite right when she thinks about it. Although the eldest brother and Gao Zhong are brothers with righteous surnames, they are a little far away, and when they come here, Guan Lin has a big red face.

Gao Chong also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't want to embarrass Guan Lin.

"Have you discussed it with your eldest brother?"

"Big brother didn't say anything, he did as I wanted." It's really an irresponsible big brother, how can it seem that Guan Yu can't beat this little sister, it's impossible, usually just let it! But now there is no danger in Feihu, and he will not be allowed to go to the battlefield in the future, so stay at the staff headquarters first.

"What do you want to do?" The high favor is about to surrender

"I'm going to the guard camp."

"The personal guard battalion will be exempted, let's go to the staff headquarters first!"

"It's good to be a staff officer! Then I'll go back to base. "Guan Lin just needs to be by Gao Chong's side.

"What time is it, come to dinner with me, and come back tomorrow."

After eating, Guan Lin stayed at her mother's place to talk, and Gao Pet went back to the yard alone.

Xuancheng Qian family.

Qian Mu, the head of the family, meditated alone in the study. The third child of the Gao family has just come. It's about going to Western Xia to sell horses.

The Qian family and the Gao family have been familiar with each other for a long time, and that was when the ancestor was in Bianjing, the Gao family was an official, and the Qian family was in business. The Qian family's move to Xuancheng is still a matter of recent decades. Since the people who have been coming to the Gao family are mainly in charge of salt and iron, there are still a lot of contacts between the two families, but Gao Zhong doesn't know. In recent years, the source of many military horses of the official family has something to do with the Qian family. The Qian family's business is big, almost all major county governments have the Qian family's shop auxiliary, and the salt tea purchased from the official family accounts for a large part of it every year, these are all businesses on the surface, and there is also a business with the Hu people, and also do business with Dajin and Western Xia, resell some illegal military supplies, and make tea and iron, that is, smuggling. The Qian family also has a boat gang, but it mainly does seafarer business with Siam, ancient Johor, Japan, and Korea.

Now the most talked about outside the house is the Gao family in Tongling, and almost all the popularity on the market is related to the Gao family, and the Gao family has the highest attention is the eldest son of the Gao family.

There are many new things on the surface of Xuancheng, one is that the legendary Zhuge Kongming's wooden ox and flowing horse are now called unicycles, and the Qian family feels his benefits in this unicycle, and the transportation cost has dropped several times. The second thing I saw was the liquor called "Wuliangye", Qian Mu thought that the Gao family was robbing money, and the Qian family had consumed the most in the past few months was this wine. Those soaps and matches are the favorites of the inner garden. Recently, the most popular rumor in the circle is that the Gao family has made a Feiyang share in Ningguo, and Qian Mu asked the people below to get the most detailed information, not to mention Feiyang's printing, white paper like flour, and exquisite printing, but this business model is not simple. Haven't you thought about it before, why do you feel familiar? When Qian Muxiang came here, the essence in his eyes flashed.

"High pet? This young man really got to see it. ”

"Qian Three."

"The master called me, is there something?" The housekeeper Qian San came in.

"You make arrangements, prepare a few generous gifts, I want to go to the Gao family in Tongling."

Gao Zhong returned to his residence from his mother and began his daily retreat. After playing a few sets of Tai Chi, the heat in the dantian was a little brighter, and there was a burning sensation, which had never been seen before. Gradually, the high pet entered an ethereal state of selflessness, unable to feel time and space, unable to hear the low chirping of summer insects outside the door, and unable to feel his own existence. The thoughts in my heart continue to probe into the dantian, trying to attract the cloud-like internal qi of the dantian. I don't know how long it took, but the inner qi split a small thread and followed the bundle of thoughts, entered the meridians, and went to the perineum. When I arrived at the perineum, I saw that the door was closed, and I couldn't try many directions, and the internal qi couldn't get through, but it turned out that with the age of the high pet, this acupuncture point was slowly solidified, so the younger the age, the easier it is to refine the qi.

The internal qi saw that it had encountered difficulties, just like the ant, turned around and called a helper, and from the dantian a trace of internal qi to the perineum, to the perineum to synthesize a place, rushed to the pass, such as some repeatedly, and so the dantian almost poured out of the nest, only to hear the sound of "click", the door cracked out a small crack, and rushed through a bundle of internal qi, and the others also rushed from here, and the film that blocked the internal qi was instantly washed to nothing. The internal qi made a circle in the perineum acupoint, strengthened a point and rushed down the meridians to the next spine, but due to the pain of rushing away the perineum, Gao Pet woke up from the meditation, and the internal qi retreated towards the dantian like a tide. Unable to command anymore, Gao Pet wanted to enter this state again, but there was no result, there was no way, Gao Pet got up and played Tai Chi again, thinking about the preparations before going to Xixia.

Western Xia was an enemy country of the Song Dynasty, passing through Liu Yu's occupation area, and the road was far away, nearly 2,000 kilometers. The safety distance is only one-third. In addition, it is a time of war and chaos, and the various forces are heavily guarded in their own control areas, and they need to be carefully prepared. If you buy a horse on the way back, how to get it back is a big problem, and the horse breeder himself or the Gao family has no experience at all. When traveling to an enemy country, there can't be too many people, even if there are many people, if people want to move you, there are more than others. So you have to plan your trip carefully.

Gao Zhong thought of a gun, limited to processing means, it is impossible to make a good gun, but the revolver is not very difficult, the difficult thing is the processing of bullets, especially cartridge cases, Gao Pet can only use cast cartridge shells. In order to make the barrel, Gao Pet also specially designed and produced a set of reamers. It was an unrifled smoothbore gun with a caliber of about 6 mm in two. The final shell was heavier because it was cast, and the warhead was a copper-clad lead-clad round-nosed bullet.

The lead-zinc plant has produced lead and zinc, there are a lot of them every day, there are nearly one ton, with lead, Gao Pet built a lead room next to the lead factory, directly using lead to produce sulfur dioxide, using nitric oxide as a catalyst, can industrialize the production of sulfuric acid, there is a large amount of sulfuric acid, plus the phosphate rock in Yichang, the phosphorus can be used for the mass production of matches, and also uses the cement plant to sinter phosphate rock and dolomite to make calcium, magnesium and phosphorus fertilizer. The Gao family's industry is getting bigger and bigger step by step, and the recruits are all recruited to Guichi, Wuhu, and Dangtu. A large number of refugees from the north have been given a benefit. Brass has also been produced, but copper is money, but the copper of the Gao family is still relatively small, and the copper mine in the shipyard has not yet been opened, and the plan is to be carried out after the army is formed, but the copper smelter is only under construction. But it doesn't take much time. This Gao Chong had already prepared when he discovered the copper mine, and with the existing research institute, Gao Chong had already let the third uncle arrange it.

Bring enough arrows and ammunition This is the key point to ensure safety, how many times in history has God been defeated by the arrows? Gao Zhong clearly remembered that Li Ling with 5,000 archers and the main force of the Xiongnu encountered 30,000 cavalry in Junji Mountain and the Marquis of Shan Yu, after the Xiongnu's strength increased to more than 110,000 people, Li Ling fought and walked after killing and wounding a large number of enemies, and finally died because he could not get reinforcements, and Li Ling was captured.

In order to increase the carrying capacity of arrows, Gao Pet arranges the production of steel balls in addition to the production of short arrows.

This steel ball can be used for the launch of crossbows, although there is no armor-piercing power, and the shooting is somewhat lacking, but the lethality is also very terrifying.

During the period, the open-hearth furnace of the steel mill was also completed and put into operation, and the steel output was greatly increased. It's just that there are many projects now, and it's too late to carry them out. The soda plant has also been produced, but the high-pet soda plant is not using table salt but using miscanthus salt. The process of producing soda ash by Lubran eliminates the first process, and the process of making sodium sulfate with salt and sulfuric acid is omitted. The sodium sulfide produced by alkali production is also used as a cooking agent for papermaking. It also uses flue gas to produce sulfur from alkali waste, which is used to make black powder.

Let's say that during the preparation of Gao Chong's full strength, Qian Mu, the head of the Qian family, arrived.

Qian Mu went out to personally ask for business, which is very surprising, whether it is the Gao family's mother, the second uncle and the third uncle, or the grandfather of the high favorite, they did not expect that the Qian family is a hundred years old family, since the Wu Yue Kingdom, one of the five dynasties and ten countries, has been dedicated to doing business since it descended to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also very supportive of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family has also given some support and built another economic kingdom, which has a very thick heritage. The ancestor Qian Biao was the king of Wuyue. Wu Yueguo, three generations and five kings, thirteen prefectures, one army and eighty-six counties, its scope includes all of present-day Zhejiang Province and part of Jiangsu Province and Fujian Province. In 978 A.D., the land was returned to the Song Dynasty, which lasted nearly 100 years. This Wu Yue country is the territory of the Qian family. After the surrender, the family moved to Bianjing, and then gradually moved back to Xuancheng. Therefore, the Qian family is unusually famous in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, why Qian can rank second, this has a lot to do with the Qian family.

Gao pet does not understand the Qian family, but the history of Wu Yue has a deeper understanding, he lived in Hangzhou in his previous life, the history and humanities of Hangzhou, most of them have more or less relationship with King Qian, Lin'an's hero tower, Hangzhou's Lingyin Temple, Yuhang Dadi Mountain's Tianzhu view, Hangzhou's Liuhe Tower, Leifeng Tower, Baoshu Tower, etc. were all built by Wu Yueshi. Lingyin Temple's Mida stone Buddha, cliff stone carvings and stone towers, the Brahma Sutra of Phoenix Mountain and other cultural relics of the Wuyue period have been maintained to this day, and there are many legends of King Qian, the common people think that King Qian is a good king, he is a corporal of good manners, and Guangluo talents; reward land reclamation and develop agriculture; Calming the wars in the feudal towns and maintaining the tranquility of the two provinces is conducive to the people's livelihood and economic prosperity. He opened up the city of Hangzhou, built a large number of civil works, built palaces, built sea ponds, dredged lakes, irrigated agriculture and mulberry, opened up shipping, developed trade, and promoted economic development, so that the two Zhejiang provinces were stable and prosperous.

Although the Qian family is a businessman who is not valued, Qian Mu came to the Gao family, gave him considerable respect, and opened the door to greet him. Gao Chong's mother, second uncle, third uncle or elders with other rooms and Gao Chong's brothers all came to the door to greet him.

Qian Mu has a long beard and flowing hair, deep vision, square and smooth footwork, and is not tall, but he has the bearing of a superior person in the previous period. Accompanying Qian Mu were his eldest son Qian Jichen, granddaughter Qian Ziyan and housekeeper Qian San and guards.

After introducing each other, the Gao family welcomed Qian Mu and his party into the living room and sat down as guests.

"Tongling hasn't changed for a few years, it's a lot."

"This is a high-quality nephew, I remember that when I first saw the fashion in infancy, Shilu, Shixiang, you are all heroic, I didn't expect that the high-pet nephews have grown up, during this time there are all kinds of legends of our Gao family and nephews, since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and I am honest."

"Thank you for the praise of the seniors, the juniors are just some skillful skills, and you have to learn more from the seniors."

"You're welcome, nephew, those things are not something ordinary people can come up with. I came here this time to discuss our business, and although the business is difficult, it is not without opportunities. The more we plan and prepare, the greater the certainty. The second is to make a special trip to see what kind of smart brother your nephew is. If you have the opportunity to see in the Gao family in Tongling, you are a little nostalgic when you are older. ”

"Senior, I've worked hard all the way, should I rest first today? Let's discuss the itinerary with Brother Qian? At this time, the second uncle spoke, and this time and occasion are indeed not suitable for talking about cooperation.

"Well, I'm a little tired, and I'm not forgiving at my age!".

Qian Mu is clear about these links, about the cooperation of horse trafficking, the eldest son Qian Jichen will specifically negotiate with the Gao family, and it has been decided when he decides to come to Tongling, and the two sides are just implementing some details of the cooperation to ensure the success rate and safety, and he wants to know some of the situation of the joint-stock company and the Gao family with Gao Chong, and whether there are more opportunities for cooperation. The Gao family wants to buy this horse, and there are a lot of them, no matter what the reason, Qian Mu saw the extraordinary heart of the Gao family. Why did the Gao family make such a decision that could poke a hole in the sky? Li Cheng defeated Xiangyang Suizhou, was he afraid that Liu Yu on the other side of the river might invade this Tongling and the Gao family? Or are you afraid of Dajin's invasion of the south? If the other side really wants to fight, can the little Gao family stop it? Or do you want to avenge his father as the Gao family said? It's okay to say that, but if you go against an empire alone, will it be so naïve?
