Guo Dalu knew that Li Bo was reluctant to go to the northwest, compared with the flower world in the south of the Yangtze River, the northwest full of wind and sand was really a bitter place, not to mention anything else, the girls in the south of the Yangtze River were more beautiful than the water in the northwest.

However, among the disciples now, there is really no one who can take over the snow candy shop, in fact, the girl is the best candidate, her arithmetic essence is far above Li Bo, Li Bo has been in business since he did business, and he has worked much less on his homework, and a lot of financial knowledge has been left behind by the girl.

It's just that after all, the big Li Dynasty is inferior to men, and the big girl wants to take charge of all the snow sugar shops under the door of Houlong Village alone, and deal with merchants everywhere, which is still shocking to the world, although the eldest lady of the family also does business, but she is the shopkeeper under the door when she shows up, she just looks at the general account in the back house, and negotiates with the merchant face-to-face - then she will be drowned by the world with spittle.

At this moment, the stupid big man suddenly stood up: "Brother Guo, let me go to the northwest." ”

Guo Dalu was stunned: "You go to the northwest?"

The stupid big man nodded: "I heard that the place in the northwest is old and bitter, the water I drink is salty, and when the wind blows, the yellow sand walks everywhere, and the steamed buns I eat are full of sand, I'm not afraid of hardship, let me go." ”

Guo Dalu shook his head: "No, you have a mother and young sister at home who want you to take care of, and you can't leave." ”

Silly and said: "Where do my mother and sister want me to take care of them - I didn't take good care of them before, I went hunting in Fengshen Mountain, and I didn't even dare to bring them stuttering, it was since Brother Guo came, my mother and sister have eaten enough, and they are living in a new building again, and their lives are good." Brother Guo, let me go to the northwest, I can endure hardships and do any job, and I will definitely be able to help the shopkeeper build that cotton spinning base. ”

Guo Dalu wanted to say something, but Xiong Chumei suddenly stood up and said simply: "I'll go too." ”

Guo Dalu half-opened his mouth: "You, you are also going? Chumei, you are also going to the northwest? No, you have not been in my sect for a long time, and you have not taken all the courses well." ”

Xiong Chumei pointed at the stupid big one: "Let the stupid big man teach me some basic courses, and then the higher courses, don't you know how to write letters and give advice? No matter how bad it is, I'll just come back a year and make up for a class a month." ”

Xiong Chumei didn't wait for Guo Dalu to dissuade him again, and hurriedly said: "I asked Sister Chen Qingdai in private, although our science department focuses on learning new knowledge, but the real power to gain merit lies in doing practical things - I want to go to the northwest to do a big career that no one has done, and it will definitely help my cultivation." ”

Xiongchumei is worthy of being an old demon for many years, although the time to enter the door is still shallow, but in a word, he said that science is a unique way of practice, science does not recite scriptures, does not re-meditate, only re-enters the WTO, only those who enter the WTO have merit and fruition, and those who serve the people and the country can practice Dacheng, otherwise, even if you sit in the Yixue classroom, you will get 100 points in each test paper, and it is also a fate to seek fish.

Guo Dalu touched his chin: "The stupid big man is accompanied by your Chumei, I am relieved." The stupid big man said in a sullen voice next to him: "Brother Guo, you just say that Sister Chumei is better than me to fight, don't you have it?"

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Okay, then the two of you will go back to the northwest with Lou Dalang, cotton will be planted in April next year, and before that, you have to buy saline-alkali land, open up wasteland, dig karez and other projects, there is a lot of work, you have to be busy." Silly big man, you stay, I have something to tell you. ”

Brother Hao and the others retired, Lou Dalang knew that Guo Dalu had some private words to explain to the stupid big man, and he also used the excuse of taking a good look at the outline and withdrew.

Guo Dalu said to the stupid big man: "This trip to the northwest, there are many dangers, do you remember the black powder making method I once taught you? I don't have any other magic weapon in the science gate, and only this thing can help you defend yourself, when you go to the northwest, you can secretly train a soldier and horse, with a gunpowder bag, ordinary swordsmen, horse bandits, will not be your opponent." ”

The stupid big man said: "I remember the recipe for black powder, charcoal and sulfur can be obtained in the northwest, but nitrate - when I get to the northwest, I have to build some public toilets and collect people's manure and pile nitrate." ”

Guo Dalu shook his head: "I heard that there are natural nitrate fields in the northwest, and the nitrate produced is much better than soil nitrate." When you go to the northwest, in addition to looking for nitrate, you also have to help me find a kind of black water that seeps out of the ground, I call it oil, it can be burned, and that is a good thing, and once you find it, you must buy all the land there. This oil is more important than coal in a way!"

The stupid big man nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Brother Guo, I will definitely not mistake you!"

Guo Dalu took out another notebook: "Here, this is the training minutes I wrote myself, I have my own set of training methods, which is very different from the old village chief Zhu and them, I originally wanted to implement it in Yixue, but recently things are too complicated, and I don't know where to start for a while, you can only refer to the book to practice in the northwest first." Remember, there is actually no other trick to military training, one is to have discipline, sitting, standing, and walking, and have discipline in everything, so that discipline is deeply imprinted into the blood of every soldier. Second, it is necessary to have ideals, soldiers are not walking dead, they only know how to kill, such an army has no soul, even if it is violent for a while, it will eventually fail, and the truly brave warriors are those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the ideals in their hearts, they are invincible!"

The stupid big man's eyes sparkled: "Brother Guo, what is our ideal?"

Guo Dalu waved his fist: "Let the poor people in the world have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and not be bullied, this is our ideal!"

Lou Dalang came in a hurry, went in a hurry, and waited until the second day, he took half a cartload of cottonseeds, and left with the stupid big man and Xiongchumei, this half a cart of cottonseeds is the foundation of the three of them in the northwest to break into the world!

And Guo Dalu went back to the room and began to draw the drawings of the textile machinery, these are the necessary technical reserves, no matter what, first have to get the Jenny spinning machine and kick loom out, and then, it is the steam-driven loom, the original difficulty of the hydraulic loom is lower, but the problem is that the northwest itself is short of water, relying on water power is not realistic, and the watt-style steam engine workmanship is not complicated, in the case that the demon bull big black can help solve part of the finishing seals, it is a very good power source.

All this, now to start to solve, after the cotton harvest, left for their own time is more than a year, in the meantime, even if they have a belly of 21st century knowledge, but still need to repeat a lot of experiments, in order to really launch a mature steam engine, after all, the mouth cannon and the real hands are two different things, which has been a profound lesson in the previous blast furnace steelmaking.

You must know that the blast furnace built by Guo Dalu refers to some technologies in the Han Dynasty in the origin of time and space, and the result is still embarrassing, and there have been many accidents during this period.

Guo Dalu was busy in Houlong Village, East Lake Tianyi Pavilion, Lin Yuanchen was greeting Lou Cen Zhi with joy on his face: "Senior Brother Lou, this time I went to all parts of the world to teach the drip irrigation method, you are really tired, little sister looked at it, you have lost a few points." ”

Lou Cen Zhi knew that the appearance of cultivators was not like mortals, and they would change due to hard work, but he knew that this was Senior Sister Lin's concern for him, and said with a smile: "What am I tired of, everywhere I go, all the sects and sects heard that they are here to help them guide how to carry out the drip irrigation method, and they are all treated like guests, and some sect heads even personally set up a banquet to thank me, and sat down and said, hehe, I used to be a small outer disciple of Tianyi Pavilion, how could I have been so beautiful?"

Lin Yuanchen chuckled and said: "In this way, Senior Brother Lou has really formed a great good fate? Now Senior Brother Lou is really famous all over the world, which sect reads Senior Brother Lou and doesn't say a good word?"

Lou Cen Zhi was triumphant: "That's nature, as soon as the drip irrigation method is implemented, the kudzu grass pills harvested by those sects are going up with the bucket, and the big and small people all benefit, they see me, they are even happier than seeing the fortune boy, and they have collected a lot of small magic weapons, come and come, Senior Sister Lin, come and see, if you have anything you like, pick some and play with them." As he spoke, he opened a box, and with a bang, poured out a bunch of magic pills.

Lin Yuanchen glanced at it and felt the spiritual power of some magic weapons and pills, and knew that it was just some low-grade artifacts, just for personal exchanges, in fact, if you think about it carefully, although Ge Cao Dan is good, what is most urgently needed is only some middle and low-level cultivators, and the real Da Luo Jin Immortal, the heads of all factions do not look down on low-level spiritual grass like Ge Cao Dan, and come forward to reward Senior Brother Lou, it is just a face job.

However, it's good that Senior Brother Lou is so happy, he has been practicing for hundreds of years and has been unknown, and it is rare to have such a beautiful time.

Lin Yuanchen casually picked out a few small magic weapons, thanked Lou Cen Zhidao, and suddenly remembered something: "Senior Brother Lou, when you went out to promote the drip irrigation method, a young man came to Houlong Village, what is Guo Dalu, with the letter you sent him, saying that he came to Tianyi Pavilion to read books." ”

Lou Cen's heart moved: "That young man is tall and has a little dark skin? Yes, I promised him to go to Tianyi Pavilion to read books." Where is this boy now?"

Lin Yuanchen said: "I took him to the lowest library building according to the rules of Tianyi Pavilion and let him read books by himself, but he left soon after, and he didn't seem to be able to enlighten himself." ”

Lou Cen was stunned: "Yes? Alas, this practice is broad and profound, and it is not something that can be comprehended by reading one or two books, so it is better for Guo Dalu to engage in his scientific skills." By the way, Senior Sister Lin, you are guarding the tree and fang greenhouse in East Lake to grow red refining fruits, is the situation okay? )
