Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Night Talk of the North Court
Mr. Qin has not been called up in the middle of the night for a long time during non-war time, the old man is as old as a naughty child, and getting up is not easy to get rid of.
He walked into the meeting hall of the county lord's mansion angrily, and his face was full of the words "I'm not happy".
The council hall has now been protected by the elite armor of the county lord's mansion on the third and outer three floors, Ge Shuyan, a stupid big man wearing black armor, armed all over, murderous, vigilantly observing the surroundings, any slight movement will attract his attention.
What's going on? Why is it that he was in a tense state before the war, but he didn't hear the news of the secret agents in the army, could it be that there was an omission?
Old Mr. Qin was a little puzzled, and most of his wake-up anger disappeared at this moment.
But just as he was about to get angry at Gundam and Kenping who were guarding the door, he heard a laughing greeting from the council chamber.
"Mr. Qin, please come in quickly, this matter is not trivial, I still need you to come up with an idea," Zhang Peng's standard professional smile looked extremely inadequate in the bright lights.
"Hmph, the old man is old, and he has not slept well, if there is nothing really important today, the old man must be good...... Hey? What is it? Mr. Qin just wanted to reprimand Zhang Peng, but he was suddenly attracted by a clay pot placed on the desk.
Without him, this clay pot is filled with fine green salt, snow-white, flashing with dazzling light, as long as you are not blind, you can see it.
Old Mr. Qin leaned down in disbelief and looked down at the green salt in the basin for a while, and then trembled and stretched out his old big hand and gently dipped a little green salt.
First looked at the candle flame for a long time, then put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then, as Zhang Peng expected, the old man's whole face was distorted and deformed because of the violent salty taste in his mouth, and he couldn't bear to open his mouth and spit it out.
It was still Xu Wanyi who was sensible and offered a glass of water in time, which saved Old Man Qin's life.
Old man Qin relieved himself, then stared at Zhang Peng with red eyes, pointed to the green salt in the basin with one hand, and asked, "Jun Ma, is this refined salt?" ”
Zhang Peng rolled his eyes, and laughed at this uninformed old guy more than a hundred times in his heart: "Yes, the best refined salt in the world!" ”
"You made it?" Old Man Qin began to tremble when he spoke, because of his excitement, he didn't know where he had gone because of his usual light clouds.
"Hahahaha, it's not me, it's him," Zhang Peng smiled and pointed to Gundam standing at the door.
Gao Dam smiled innocently and scratched the back of his head: "It's a new salt-making method created by the gunma, called the filtration and analysis salt making method, and I just made it according to the steps." ”
"How's the yield?" Mr. Qin didn't have time to listen to Zhang Peng and Gundam humbly praising each other, but went straight to the point.
Zhang Peng smiled confidently: "It is conservatively estimated that after being familiar with the salt making process, the manpower of each battalion can produce 5,000 catties of refined salt per day!" ”
Hearing the words of a tiger and wolf like 5,000 catties, Mr. Qin began to swing his whole body on the spot, just like having Parkinson's.
"Grandpa Qin, don't get excited, you sit first," or Xu Wanyi was intimate, she glanced at Zhang Peng viciously, and at the same time helped Old Man Qin to sit on the couch.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think, the quality of our refined salt is so good, what is the right price to buy? Is it enough for our Beiting Army's annual military expenditure? Zhang Peng also sat down by himself, and ate the melons and fruits on the table very unimpressively.
"Only five battalions of full-time salt production are needed, which is enough to support the entire North Garden," Mr. Qin thought for a moment, and then gave an answer, "If the scale of ten battalions is large, then my North Court will have enough military spending to greatly improve the people's livelihood and sweep the surrounding areas!" ”
"Where is there a need for so many brothers to do this full-time, one battalion is enough!" Zhang Peng shook his head with a smile, "There are still a lot of displaced people in Beiting who have suffered a war disaster this year, wouldn't it be beautiful to gather them here and give relief through work." ”
Xu Wanyi also nodded and said: "I just estimated that there are more than 20,000 displaced people who have poured into Tingzhou these days, and it is not a way to gather in the city of Remnantyang Guan Weng every day to wait for soup soup rescue. ”
Old man Qin thought about it for a while, but he still shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, Junma's new salt-making method is my Beiting top secret, if the soldiers in my Beiting camp make their own salt, the old man can rest assured, there will never be a secret law spread, but if it is to hire homeless people, then the leakage is difficult to predict, besides, no matter how big the salt field is, it will not use 20,000 people." ”
Xu Wanyi immediately frowned when she heard this, which she hadn't thought about.
"Old Mr. Qin, you don't have to worry about this, Jun Ma has already thought of a countermeasure," Zhang Peng didn't explain this question, but looked at Gundam, and when Gundam received the signal, he explained, "There are several steps in the new salt making method, and we can set up separate teams to be responsible for the production of each step!"
"The semi-finished products made by the previous team are handed over to the next team for the next step of production until the refined salt is completed, so that the front and back do not interfere with each other, and they do not know each other's methods, and the production efficiency will be doubled! Korima calls this method of work an assembly line! ”
"Pipeline!" Old Man Qin squinted his eyes, repeatedly savoring what Gundam said, and finally opened his eyes wide, and made a sudden realization, "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”
He stood up and stared at Zhang Peng's head carefully and looked at it carefully, as if he was looking at something rare.
"You keep looking at the kid like this, the kid is a little scared," Zhang Peng felt a chill in his heart.
"I really want to pry your brain open and see what is different from others inside, hahaha," Old Man Qin suddenly laughed insolently.
"Grandpa Qin, can this assembly line work method really guarantee that there will be no leakage?" Xu Wanyi was still a little worried.
Old man Qin nodded solemnly: "Basically, the possibility of leaking secrets is very low, plus a battalion of soldiers is responsible for supervision and management, there will never be a leak!" ”
Xu Wanyi was relieved.
"The matter of Qingyan is actually not enough for the county lord and me to wake up your old man in the middle of the night," Zhang Peng saw that the time was almost up, so he motioned to Gundam and Jianping to open the scroll hanging on the wall, "The next thing is the most important thing, most of the homeless, I want to use it here!"
"What is this?" Xu Wanyi stepped forward, she didn't know anything at the moment, the matter of Qingyan was not the most important? So what's the most important?
"Spread out!" Zhang Peng waved his hand, and his smile was extremely confident.
Soon, a map of the entire territory of Beiting was spread out on the ground, and Xu Wanyi and Old Man Qin stepped forward to take a closer look.
The map is very large, and the mountains, rivers, lakes, waves, and state cities and villages are marked in great detail, but the information on the map is very unreal!
"What is this? This is the map of Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate, why is the county seat of Luntai County so big? Why are there three military villages in the eastern part of the Shiba River? Old Man Qin immediately pointed out the fallacies on the map.
Zhang Peng pointed to the county seat of Luntai County on the map: "I think you also know, during the day, the county lord and I both received the holy decree, and one of us became the son of Luntai County, and the other became the capital protector of Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate." ”
"Do you really take the Emperor's decree seriously?" Old man Qin said disapprerovingly, "Since the relationship between the grandfather and the emperor has been stiff, our Beiting has basically become a northwest military town that listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, hmph, it would be good to listen to his holy decree, is it possible that he really wants to go to Luntai with the county lord?" ”
Xu Wanyi also agreed with Old Man Qin's words, but her expression was a little lonely.
She knows that she still remembers when she was a child, his current emperor's uncle is still in the palace, and as an uncle, he loves Xu Wanyi so much.
It's a pity that since he ascended the throne, he has become extremely jealous of the father and daughter of Liangguo, and has issued an order to reduce the strength of Beiting more than once, and when she is most nervous, she and her father are ready to meet each other.
"It is precisely because Beiting has now essentially formed a highly autonomous military town, so I decided to vigorously develop Luntai and run the Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate!"
Zhang Peng's next words shocked both Xu Wanyi and Old Man Qin:
"If you don't do this, within a year, Beiting will be destroyed!"
