Chapter 3: The Battle of the Siege of Huiji County

After returning home from Qingcheng County, Lin Feng instructed Wang Rong to take Lao Bai back to the stable, and he went to the kitchen to get a knife and sharpen the tip of it to make a simple charcoal.

After doing this, Lin Feng returned to the room and pulled out a small wooden box from under the bed.

The wooden box is made of mahogany, which is also a relatively rare material in ordinary people's homes.

In the memory of the original body, in addition to the grain in the granary, this wooden box is all his belongings.

Lin Feng opened the box, there were some small silver fragments stacked inside, Lin Feng padded the mat up and down, and it felt like it was about twenty taels.

Looking at the little silver in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, there is enough start-up capital."

Putting the box back on, Lin Feng took the pen and paper and came to a table of broken eight immortals, which was the table where he ate with the brothers of the Wang family.

Lin Feng remembered it for a while, and the names of the same materials began to appear on the paper.

Fortunately, Lin Feng also inherited the memory of the words of this world, so that Lin Feng no longer needed to learn words from scratch, but directly got started.

"Sand, limestone, appearance..."Lin Feng muttered to himself.

"Grass ash, lard..."

After writing this, Wang Fu, who happened to be carrying a pot of hot cabbage, walked in.

"Sir, you went out without breakfast, it's noon now, it's time to eat." Wang Fu saw Lin Feng sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals writing something, and reminded.

"Well, let's call a few other people over for dinner." Lin Feng suddenly felt his stomach rumble.

After a while, several people who had finished their farm work gathered in Lin Feng's room.

Wang Fu also served the meals one by one.

The diet of this era was very simple, consisting only of cabbage and rice

Lin Feng is not a picky eater, after all, he can't pick a picky eater now, according to what he remembers, Dashun's diet is so simple, and the farmers only grow a few things.

After Lin Feng gave an order, several people began to move their chopsticks.

After eating, Lin Feng put down his chopsticks.

"Wang Hua asked you something." Lin Feng asked.

"Sir asks." Wang Hua, who was still muffling down food, raised his head.

"I heard, you didn't follow me as a blacksmith before?"

"Yes, sir, is there anything you tell me to do?" Wang Hua wondered.

"Wang Hua, I have a list here, can you help me estimate the price of these materials?" Lin Feng handed the list he had just written to Wang Hua.

Being a blacksmith has to come into contact with a lot of things, so the first thing Lin Feng thought of was Wang Hua.

"The sand listed on the list is some sand that no one wants, but some Taoist priests may use it, and you can pick it up by the Qingcheng River." Wang Hua said after reading it.

Lin Feng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Are you sure that no one wants it?" "

"Of course, sir." Wang Hua patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, wait for you to take Wang Fu and Wang Gui out and help me find some, the more the better." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"It's master, but this farm work..."Before Wang Hua's words fell, Lin Feng interrupted him

"Leave the farm work alone, just do it well." Lin Feng waved his hand.

Seeing this, Wang Hua nodded and walked out of the room with Wang Gui and Wang Fu.

"Wang Rong, you go outside to make an earthen stove and make a pottery bowl by the way, remember to add grass and wood ashes to both, and then go to the county seat to buy a blower box and iron pipes." Lin Feng commanded.

The blacksmith of this era has mastered the power of the wind, and only by pointing out the technology of the air blast box can the blacksmith really be regarded as a blacksmith, otherwise he can only be regarded as a little kid who plays with fire.

"Yes, master, I'll go now." Wang Rong also got up and left after hearing this.

In this era, the stove could only burn up to about 1000°C, and the high temperature of 1600°C was required to fire glass, so adding grass and wood ash ensured that the earthen furnace could withstand higher temperatures.

After instructing these Lin Feng's heart, he finally let go a little bit. Now you can make glass balls, which is a very lucrative thing, especially in ancient times.

In recent history, a Dutch governor bought an island for $24 worth of six glass balls, and the island was valued at $2.32 trillion years later.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's heart trembled with excitement in an instant, as long as he waited for the materials to arrive, he would start it.

The cost of renting a boat is about four or five hundred taels, and the price of a glass ball is far more than four or five hundred taels, and you can even use a glass ball to directly exchange for a boat.

But thinking about it afterwards, Lin Feng gradually calmed down, and doing business was far from being that simple.

You have to be cautious and cautious!

In addition to making glass balls, Lin Feng is also preparing to make soap, a must-have item for this traverser.

As for why Lin Feng didn't go to Qingcheng County to sell nearby, the reason was that Lin Feng clearly knew the demand for luxury goods from ordinary people in ancient times.

That's ......... There is no demand at all!

Ordinary people who have money are more willing to buy some food, not only can they eat enough, but they can also take a bath with the water used up to wash rice, so why spend money to buy soap and glass? Isn't that a waste!

However, soap is a rare good thing for some nobles, according to Lin Feng's assumption, soap can be sold for at least three taels to four taels of silver in Jingshi, and it is estimated that the income will be higher if you play hunger marketing.

This idea was quickly passed by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng's current strategy was to let all the nobles of the Jingshi experience the benefits of soap, and win by quantity, so that the glass beads were used in the way of hunger marketing.

Soap is made with only lard and plant ash, which cost a few dozen copper coins at most.

(In Dashun, a hundred copper coins are equal to one tael of silver.) A hundred taels of silver is equal to one tael of gold. )

Now Lin Feng has no special channels, as for how to sell, Lin Feng is going to run business offline after going to Jingshi, that is, the set of product promotion in modern society, let some shops sell instead of themselves, and the price they sell is none of Lin Feng's business.

To put it simply, Lin Feng belongs to the manufacturer, and the store belongs to the consignee, Lin Feng only needs to collect money and deliver the goods, and how to sell it is the store's business.

Of course, regarding the formula of soap and glass beads, Lin Feng was very relieved, because he was determined that these ancient people would not be able to study it for hundreds of years.

What Lin Feng had to do at this stage was to find a money bank that could take out a large loan, and go to the port of Qingcheng County to rent a ship that could be full of goods.

Then he made glass beads and soap and taught them to a few of his serfs.

Lin Feng opened the wooden door and looked out of the door, looking at the starry sky, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"My journey is the sea of stars, but now it's still silver." After speaking, Lin Feng yawned and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

"Tomorrow's business, leave it to tomorrow's self."
