Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 191 Refining lard!

The news that the imperial court wanted to collect lard quickly spread throughout Chang'an, and all the people received it immediately.

only.

The common people didn't know what the imperial court was going to do, why they suddenly started collecting lard, and they still bought it at a very high price.

This is actually what Su Feng meant, deliberately concealing all the real functions, and also to prevent the news from spreading and to let those people in the family prepare in advance.

They used the hot air balloon to return to Chang'an, which was already announcing to the world that the emperor had returned now, and it was impossible to hide it.

No need to think about it, those people in the aristocratic family must have arranged various spies in Chang'an to observe the actions of the court all the time.

The more it comes to this kind of time, the more careful we must be, and we must not let those guys get any news.

Of course the common people would not think of these, they only knew that these were the intentions of Yan Wang Su Feng.

In the minds of most people, Su Feng has become a benchmark, as long as he has anything to do with him, everyone's worries will be dispelled.

They knew very well in their hearts that as long as Su Feng wanted to do something, it would definitely not be a bad thing, and more importantly, it would not make them suffer.

then.

People who raise pigs at home have begun to pull out the fat pigs that have been raised and kill them to refine lard to the greatest extent. At your current price, the lard refined from a whole pig is sold. At least two pigs can be bought back.

This is a great thing for the people!

Many people even regret now that they didn't raise more pigs at the beginning, but now they don't want to kill more pigs. They can only watch those big pig farmers earn a lot of money now.

The news that the imperial court wanted to buy lard quickly spread, and even some noble people couldn't help being a little moved by it.

Unfortunately.

In today's era, only ordinary people would eat pork, but anyone with a certain status would look down on this kind of thing at all.

In their eyes, eating pork is a shameful thing.

After so many years, it was the first time they discovered that eating pork had such benefits, but it was too late to regret it now.

For a long period of time, the people around Chang'an, who had pigs in their homes, began to pull out and kill them. The large-scale refining of lard was once very spectacular.

If this was done in the past, I am afraid that even during the New Year's Eve, there would not be such a scene. After all, if it is not very necessary, no one will easily kill a pig.

Compared with other species, the only advantage of pork is that it has more oil.

After the lard was refined, the common people sold it at the official price and gained considerable benefits...

……

Let’s talk about Su Feng.

Since Li Shimin issued the news that he was going to purchase pig friends on a large scale, his main task has become to manufacture hot air balloons on a large scale.

Now that the fuel problem has been solved, the next step is to manufacture the required hot air balloons. When the number reaches a certain level, we can start to deal with the affairs of the Southern Family.

For things like making hot air balloons, Changsun Wuji naturally followed Su Feng.

He didn't even have to bring it up by himself, Changsun Wuji went to Li Shimin by himself, and he had to do it with Su Feng no matter what.

Changsun Wuji's interest in machinery has been aroused since he first learned about the train, and it has been out of control ever since.

Now that he has such a good opportunity, he certainly won't let it go easily.

In the compound of the Ministry of Industry.

Changsun Wuji is arranging related matters. Making a hot air balloon is not a trivial matter, and too many materials are needed.

Especially for the main material of the hot air balloon, according to Su Feng's original idea, the best material is to use canvas, which can perfectly solve all the problems needed by the hot air balloon.

Unfortunately.

Now there is no such material at all. When Su Feng was thinking about what to use instead of canvas, our village probably came up with his own ideas.

"My lord, I think it would be better to use silk. Think about it, what material is more valuable than stone in today's world?" Changsun Wuji looked at Su Feng expectantly and said.

to be frank.

He really wanted to get Su Feng's approval, especially in these matters, no matter whether he was right or his own analysis, as long as he was right, he could at least verify his talent.

more importantly.

He proposed using silk as a material for hot air balloons, which is entirely possible.

Just imagine.

What kind of material is there today that can be as valuable as silk?
Even the royal family flocks to silk, so there is no problem with such a good thing.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Su Feng couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

He sort of understood that no matter how long people like Changsun Wuji followed him, many inherent things could not be easily changed.

Just like the idea now!

In the hearts of most people, silk is the most precious material. Since it is the most precious thing, it can exert omnipotent effects, even if it is a hot air balloon.

"A lot of things don't need to be expensive. The key is to be practical. If they can't be used at all, it doesn't matter how expensive they are!" Su Feng looked at Changsun Wuji and shook his head slowly.

Of course he knows what the other party thinks, and he also knows that at this time, the enthusiasm of the other party should not be dampened.

But there is no way, the facts are the most important in these aspects, and there must be no sloppy, otherwise the manufactured things will not be usable at all, and will cause unimaginable troubles.

If something goes wrong with the hot air balloon, it will be the soldiers who will be unlucky, and it may even affect the entire battle situation!

really.

As soon as Su Feng finished speaking, Changsun Wuji's expression couldn't help but darken.

"Then... what kind of materials do you want?" Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, looked up at Su Feng and asked.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, cowhide is the best choice. It is strong and not breathable. If you use cowhide as a hot air balloon, there will be almost no problems!" Su Feng gave his own answer.

Hearing that a large amount of cowhide was needed, Changsun Wuji's face became even more ugly.

joke!

How important farming cattle are to the people, anyone who catches them will be very clear, and the imperial court also expressly prohibits the killing of cattle.

The hot air balloons they need this time are not a small number. If they all use cowhide, they will definitely kill a lot of cows.

Such a big matter cannot be decided by just a few of them...
