Chapter 140 Soap
"What is the General doing?"
"Who knows, I want a few more old craftsmen."
"I said it was a lime kiln, and I don't know what lime is."
"When the city was being repaired, this thing was actually built, is there a problem with the general?"
The craftsman, who spoke, pointed to his head.
At this time, a serious and cold gaze came over.
"Are you all idle? The senior tongue woman chews the tongue root here! ”
"The villains don't dare anymore, beg General Jiang for forgiveness."
"Go to work."
"Yes, General."
The craftsmen all bowed their heads in response and hurried out of here.
No matter what world you are in, there is no shortage of onlookers.
Yang Chengying led a few old craftsmen who were familiar with the local situation to find a place on the mountain with limestone.
Immediately some soldiers were brought over and a lime kiln was built nearby.
Unexpectedly, such a simple thing actually attracted many onlookers.
Jiang Chaodong also came to join in the fun.
He laughed at first, and he didn't know what the general wanted to do.
But when he heard that someone actually said bad things about the general, or his own craftsmen, he immediately scolded him.
After these craftsmen left, his entourage stepped forward and asked, "General Jiang, what do you say the general is doing?" ”
"I don't know." Jiang Chaodong suddenly remembered something, and said, "Anyway, it's good for us." ”
This is indeed a good thing for the soldiers and the people.
Homemade soap.
After Yang Chengying went back, he relied on memory to write down all kinds of details of the homemade soap, and revised it seven or eight times before it was finally finalized.
He then found the craftsmen who built the walls and selected a subset of them.
There are two conditions, one is that the locals are familiar with the local environment; The second is an old journeyman who knows how to build a lime kiln.
After looking around Xintun, he finally found a stone on the mountain.
Using the existing materials, a lime kiln was quickly built.
After the limestone is fired with fire, quicklime can be obtained, and then water is added to the quicklime to produce a mature lime solution, that is, lime water.
This is the first raw material for homemade soap.
As the actual principal of Golden State, there are many opportunities.
However, Yang Chengying did not manage affairs, but ran to the mountains to burn lime.
Not to mention that the people don't understand, even the Jinyi guard, who is secretly spying on him, doesn't understand.
"Is there something wrong with this man's brain? If you don't hurry up and repair the city, do these moths! ”
A brocade-clothed guard Xiaoqi, disguised as a civilian, whispered.
He and his companions were crouching behind the bushes, secretly spying on Yang Chengying in the distance.
"Don't talk nonsense." The companion reprimanded in a low voice, "If the person surnamed Yang is not capable, Lord Xu will not let us personally arrange for us to come." ”
"That's right."
The companion said with regret: "Hey! This person is very powerful, but there are many guards around to protect him, and it is difficult for us to get close. ”
"We can arrest his woman and blackmail him."
Another brocade guard whispered.
It immediately caused the general flag of Jinyi Wei led by him to roll his eyes.
"You don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person."
Zongqi scolded: "Kidnapping on other people's territory, in case the matter is revealed, it's nothing if you die, it's a pity that your father and mother will also be buried with you." ”
The brocade guard who scolded so much that he proposed couldn't raise his head.
Xu Xianchun sent them for a very clear purpose, that is, to spy on Yang Chengying nearby, and if it is possible, send someone to assassinate them.
The assassination must also be carried out under the condition of ensuring that nothing goes wrong, once it is missed, the two sides will completely turn their faces, and it will not be good for everyone.
And Xu Xianchun's rule is that if the action fails, the family will also suffer.
"Withdraw, you'll be found after a long stay."
Zongqi made a retreat gesture and quietly left with the brocade guard.
They retreated all the way north along the woods, which were deep in the mountains and old forests, and would not worry about anyone getting there.
When they came to the hut, everyone looked left and right, pushed the door and entered.
Then, they all retreated in fright.
When they came out, they were immediately surrounded by Jinzhou guards in armor.
"Friend, this is not the place for you."
Geng Zhongming walked out of the house.
"Don't get me wrong, general, we are the people of Liaodong, and we live in seclusion here."
Remembering that he was in civilian attire, Zongqi immediately smiled all over his face, trying to fool him through.
However, Geng Zhongming is so foolish.
"There is neither land nor water here, where do you hide?"
Geng Zhongming sneered: "Also, you need a hoe for seclusion, where is it!" ”
In a word, their disguise tricks were exposed.
The general flag was no longer installed, and immediately shouted: "Do it!" Before the poor knife was pulled out, it was found that a batch of strong bows and crossbows had appeared.
A series of cold wolf-tooth arrows aimed at their bodies, making sure to pull the trigger and shoot them into hedgehogs in no time.
The threat of death made their blood cold and their hearts even colder.
"Where do you think this is? Dare to play tricks. ”
Geng Zhongming sneered: "Listen to my advice and put down your weapons." The general has told you that if you lay down your arms and give you everything.
The general will pretend not to see it and continue to let you serve the court.
Think about it, even if you die, can't the general guess who wants to disadvantage him?
In this way, is there still value in your death? ”
Geng Zhongming, who is cunning by nature, has lived at the bottom for a long time, and knows too well what the psychology of these brocade guards is.
They will not actively choose to die unless they have to.
is dead, and the wives and children at home have no support.
The general flag asked in a trembling voice, "What do you say?" ”
"Of course, the general didn't have time to dwell on these trivial matters. What's more, God has the virtue of a good life, and he will not go on a killing spree. ”
Geng Zhongming said categorically.
Hearing this, the lost courage that the general flag had just raised collapsed in an instant.
The knife fell from his waist!
Sunset.
The quicklime from the first kiln was finally fired.
Turn off the heat, just wait for it to cool, take it out and use it.
Yang Chengying had already ordered someone to dig a pond nearby, so that he could lead a stream of live water from the mountain into the pool at any time.
When quicklime is added with water, calcium oxide undergoes a chemical reaction with water, commonly known as curing.
Then scoop out the lime water and add caustic soda to the lime water.
Once the substance sinks to the bottom, the remaining solution can be used to make soap.
After explaining clearly, Yang Chengying should go back first, and come back tomorrow to make soap by himself.
As soon as he walked out of the construction site, he met Geng Zhongming head-on.
Kong Youde and the others immediately dispersed to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"General, I already know the details." Geng Zhongming said in a low voice.
Yang Chengying raised his eyebrows: "Say." ”
"Xu Xianchun sent his chief banner Menda, led dozens of Jinyi guards to disguise themselves as ordinary people, set off from western Liaoxi to secretly infiltrate Jinzhou, and quietly arrived here."
"Purpose?"
"Looking for an opportunity to murder the general."
"Who else do you contact besides them?"
"Fang Zhenru, Jiang Chaodong, Peng Haigu, Sun Yuanhua."
"The result?"
Peng Hairpin Gu refused, but Sun Yuanhua disagreed. Jiang Chaodong's attitude was ambiguous, while Fang Zhenru agreed to cooperate. However, Fang Zhenru did not agree to use assassination. ”
"What do you do with them?"
"As the general ordered, let them all go. In addition, some false information was given to them to go back and hand it over. ”
"Very well done, you keep in touch with them, and by the way, write a secret letter to Mr. Ning and tell him what happened here."
"Yes."
