Take the mall to Datang

Yuchi Jingde is naturally from the main combat faction, generals can't stay idle and only the battlefield can allow them to display their talents. Now that the topic has changed to military, Yuan Shan doesn't know how to answer.

Chapter 420 The Biggest Branch

Since Yuchi Jingde asked Yuan Shan, he also knew that he didn’t know much about the Turks, but he knew that sooner or later this power would be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty. In the entire history of the Tang Dynasty, there were many foreign wars. The bravery and ferocity of the Tang army also increased economic consumption by the way. It can be said that it emptied the foundation for recuperation during the Wude period, otherwise it would not end in a split and separatist regime.

Of course, there are many human and environmental factors, so things cannot be generalized. Yuan Shan began to quickly search for Turkic information in his mind. The current Turkic is very chaotic, and the interest alliance has split and disintegrated. Now Turkic uncles and nephews The discord has even come to the Tang Dynasty, and the current situation is very clear. Now what the Tang Dynasty wants is an opportunity, not to defeat but to completely solve the trouble of the Turks.

"Uncle Yuchi thinks that the Turks are in a state of chaos. If they can hire some small tribes to fight for the Tang Dynasty, it will save a lot of trouble." Yuan Shan said.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to still think like this. In fact, I think so too." Yuchi Jingde said.

Cheng Zhijie was a little disdainful of Yuchi Jingde's words, saying that Yuan Shan had mentioned this idea a long time ago.

"Hahaha, Uncle Yuchi has experienced hundreds of battles and knows a lot about wars. You are just playing tricks." Yuan Shan said modestly.

In fact, Yuanshan still has a lot of ideas, such as the management problem after the suppression of the Turks, because factors such as the environment and human factors do not mean that the elimination of the Turks will be done once and for all. How to fight but how to develop allows the north to become an iron plate with the territory of Datang.

However, Yuan Shan doesn't need to worry about these problems, because history has already destined him to be more concerned about the health of these big bosses. According to Du Ruhui, Yuan Shan, who should not have survived the fourth year of Zhenguan, does not want to see such a result. With these The "original team" may be more solid in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and Yuchi Jingde's favorite military topics are not to Yuan Shan's appetite at all.

While chatting with the two generals, the servant outside shouted, "Young master has a visitor."

Yuan Shan went out and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Feng Zhidai from Weichang Temple." Jia Ding said.

"I said I'll be there soon," Yuan Shan said.

Turned around and went into the bathhouse again, explained it, and then came out, the hair was not combed, but it looked long and flowing, Yuan Shan's hair was tossing around, and it was quite difficult to find a headband, simply tied it, and went living room.

"Why did General Feng come to my place today?" Yuan Shan asked.

"The Nanlingcao that I mentioned last time, my father found it and wants to transplant it, and it will be next year. However, there are quite a lot of Nanlingcao collected this year. I don't know if the acquisition can be carried out." Feng Zhidai said.

"Of course, I will take as much as I have." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan has already prepared to use all these Nan Ling grasses in the medical field to make medicines for boils, tinea capitis, white ringworm, bald sores, and poisonous snake bites, and the other part is used to make insecticides .

By the way, I also want to learn about the situation in Lingnan through Feng Zhidai. You must know that the fruits there are very good specialties, herbal medicine resources, and seawater resources are all projects worth developing.

There is also going to various islands such as Luzon to do business with the locals. The money there is still relatively good. You can transport all the silk from the Tang Dynasty to exchange for a large amount of food, but right now he can only start from land without a ship. Think of ways to.

It happened to be able to take advantage of Feng Zhidai's opportunity to seek the development of Lingnan to learn about the real situation in the local area. Yuan Shan said that he wanted to collect the southern spirit grass. Feng Zhidai couldn't believe it. Although there are few such things in Lingnan, there are clues People say that there are many such things in Luzon Island that are basically the same as grass.

In this way, their transportation is almost free. If they can faint Chang'an and sell it for money, he can't even imagine whether Yuanshan is crazy or the world is crazy. Yuanshan doesn't know what they found is the grass leaves from Luzon. Compared with ordinary tobacco leaves, it is the leaf used to make cigars.

Yuan Shan didn't think too much about the transportation. He discussed the transportation with Feng Zhidai. It may take a lot longer to bring the goods. It would be nice to come here once in spring.

"By the way, General Feng, I have a way to make salt here, but I don't know if you dare to do it." Yuan Shanyi summed up the suffering. There is not much demand for Nanlingcao, so I still decided to tell him the way to dry the salt to see if he has the courage.

"This can't be done." Feng Zhidai's hands trembled, and when he heard that it was related to the salt, he knew that if he really dried the salt privately and let the court know that it must be the end of the clan, so Feng Zhidai immediately gave up.

Yuan Shan just tried it out and didn't expect the other party to have such a big reaction. He said in his heart that it was really the sentence "the bold starve to death the timid" and continued: "Just pretend that I haven't mentioned this matter."

After sending Feng Zhidai away, Yuan Shan found that he seemed to be a little excited just now. He was not testing Feng Zhidai. He was clearly trying to scare him. When thinking about the salt, let’s start by making white salt, but this will need to wait for him. If there is time, it is still necessary to finish the affairs of the people's bathing place first.

Half a month later, it started to get colder, and the news spread that Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde had formed a convoy. There were several rich merchants in Chang'an City with more than one hundred taels of carriages. The business is getting better and better, and the scale of the workshop is getting bigger and bigger. Finally, a joint venture was formed. Some wooden accessories are now customized through some small carpenter workshops. Basically, all carpenters in this area All time produces are carriages.

In mid-October, there was a large caravan on the border of the Tang Dynasty to start trading with each other. It is said that the imperial court bought tens of thousands of horses this time. I don’t know if the news is true or not. Anyway, Zhang San brought them with him when he returned to the Yuanjia Manor. Thousands of horses.

The number of horse-drawn carriages accumulated during this period is also enough for the first one. After the horses were transported back, the Yuan family began to recruit horse-drawn coachmen in Lantian County. However, there are so many coachmen in this world. In the end, as long as they meet the age, all of them will be recruited directly and then trained uniformly. Around November, a large number of coachmen began to be assigned to the carriage to officially start work.

The number of the Yuan family's freight fleet quickly increased to [-] large carts, and there were no less than a hundred ordinary passenger carriages, which were mainly used in the warehouse of the business center. By the end of the year, according to incomplete statistics from the public, the number of freight fleets had reached [-]. Among them, the Yuanjia team is the largest.

Chapter 421 Sweater

A light snow just fell in winter, and Yuan Shan was lying on a deck chair in the yard in a down jacket made of duck down, admiring the snow scene.

Yuan Shan looked at the sky. In the small yard of Yuan's house, there used to be a large group of girls who practiced different ways every morning. Now, except for the sound of the sewing machine, it is deserted.

"Master, why do you still like to sit outside when you talk so coldly, don't you feel cold?" Lan Lan asked from the side.

"What do you know? I'm enjoying loneliness." Yuan Shan said.

"Master Lonely, did you say something wrong? The lady's surname is not Lonely but Dugu." Lan Lan said.

"You little girl, go back to the house." Yuan Shan didn't want to stay outside, he wanted to calm down, and the way he passed was to cool down first and then calm down again.

Just two days ago, people from the six doors of the Criminal Department caught several people who spread rumors. After interrogation, they unexpectedly discovered that this incident had something to do with some remnants of the late Sui Dynasty. He collected money to do things, but things became not so simple. After Li Daozong learned about this, he immediately organized manpower and began to intensify the investigation.

However, they found a stronghold of thieves in the pillars and horse trails, but there was a fight with a group of Jinwu guards and people from Liufan. As a result, many arrests and soldiers were killed and injured, and a few thieves escaped.

The thieves are all desperadoes. After some inspections, it is judged that they do not belong to the same group as those who spread rumors. The case began to become complicated. Originally, this had nothing to do with Yuan Shan, but Du Ruhui from the Ministry of War insisted on pulling him in for advice.

What good idea did Yuan Shanneng have? But when he saw the serious casualties of the six-door police officers, he suggested that it is best to strengthen the criminal arrest equipment of the police officers, such as developing stab-proof suits and using more advanced arresting tools, etc. .

Unexpectedly, after Li Daozong learned about this matter, it was actually approved. The imperial court immediately allocated a batch of silver taels to buy equipment. This is not because Yuanshan was checking the information on stab-proof clothing and other equipment in the system mall.

The fighting power of the catcher is incomparable to that of the Jinwu Guard. Even the Jinwu Guard suffered heavy casualties, which shows how strong the opponent's force value is. Naturally, he cannot fight mentally against a master. Lying on a chair, he will immediately pay attention. The hunting net is now gunpowder. It has already appeared that it would not be a good thing if the military supervisor can develop such a weapon that can capture people from ten or twenty steps away.

With the current technology, this is not a problem. The primer and the well-arranged fishing net as a weapon may have some differences in actual operation, but it is also possible to temporarily control the enemy. When the enemy struggles out, it may have been a group of people. rounded up.

Then there is the shackle, the wooden shelf is too bulky to make you unhappy, so it is a good idea to make some short hand buckles.

There are also long fishing rods that are very good equipment, and now these things are easy to customize. The hunting net involves some technology, so Yuanshan decided to make the integrated bottom gunpowder and fishing net by the Yuan family himself. As for the iron pipe part, let the military inspector solve it.

The most core technology is produced and it is useless to take it out alone. This also solves the worries of the court. The final assembly is completed by the military inspector. As for the technical problems, it depends on when the military inspector can solve it. A little bit is a little bit.

"It's really a bit cold today." Soon Yuan Shan got up and entered the room.

"Ruolan, Qianyu's down jacket is very warm. What's the output this year?" Yuan Shan asked.

After several months of adaptation, Du Qianyu put Du Fuwei's affairs aside. Now that the Yuan family is understaffed, she also started to help out. Although she was born in a general's family and her martial arts skills are very good, she is a daughter after all and started to learn to check and manage accounts. This year's family Ducks and geese are bred in large quantities. Ducks and goose downs were collected before the winter, and the female workers began to work hard just after the winter. They were only limited by the cotton material when making down jackets, and occasionally hair would appear on the clothes.

They are thinking of a way now, and Yuanshan actually has no good way but can simply sew a few more layers of down jackets. In addition, the woolen yarn at the textile factory has begun to be sold this year, and sweaters made of woolen yarn are better than silk-like sweaters. The clothes are much warmer, especially some people buy wool and go back to make clothes and then sew a layer of cotton cloth on the inside and outside, so that the clothes will keep warmer and the cost of wool is cheaper than cotton.

The wool that Yuanshan bought in large quantities before is now all used to make wool, and the other part is mixed and put into the armor of the soldiers, which is both warm and comfortable. This is also the latest research of the textile factory. Will the imperial court finally implement it? I don't know about purchasing.

However, the stab-resistant clothing that Yuanshan wants to research has a lot to do with these materials. It stands to reason that the stab-resistant clothing should be made of high-fiber polyethylene fibers, but now without that condition, we can only use cotton and wool instead of stab-proof. The inside of the suit is to add some metal connecting pieces to protect important parts.

Although it is recommended, the practicability is not much worse than ordinary armor, but the defense level is still different. For Unhappy, it was originally a commoner, and there was no quick addition. Now it is very good to have something for self-defense.

"Husband, why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?" Dugu Ruolan asked suddenly.

"It's getting dark now, or the three of us have a good talk about our relationship tonight, the manor seems deserted, so it's time to add a baby." Yuan Shan said with a smirk.

The two girls naturally knew what Yuan Shan meant. Dugu Ruolan was delighted because she finally heard Yuan Shan take the initiative to ask this question. Instead, Du Qianyu, who was on the sidelines, became serious and immediately said, "I, I'll go back to my room first."

"I told you that the three of you were talking together, so why do you want to leave?" Yuan Shan teased, but he didn't stop him, and Du Qianyu still couldn't save face and flew out of the house.
