Chu Ning could see through it. Bai Su was a dark person, and he tried to deceive her if she failed to confess. Not only did she almost break her neck, but she also turned her face and drove her off the boat.

That night, Chu Ning slept very restlessly. The cook who was in charge of meals got up to slaughter cattle and goats in the middle of the night. After leaving the tent, I saw Xiao Hongfei and others were ready to set off.

Standing in front, Bai Su took the lead to offer food, water and wine, and congratulated the victory loudly: "Bai Su, a merchant in Xiadonglai, brought 340 seven merchants from Qingzhou, and marched bravely for the soldiers! May the soldiers be invincible! Invincible!"

"General Zhaoyi, Chu Ning, lead the soldiers under his command to act bravely for all the soldiers!" The Zhaoyi Army and the Weimin Army had already lined up, and Chu Ning hurried forward and said: "May all the soldiers be invincible! Every battle is victorious!"

These Qingzhou merchants have practiced for a long time, and they are very proficient in giving three gifts and three prostrations, and their shouts are more powerful than the first.

There are many soldiers in Zhaoyi. Under the leadership of the Weimin Army, military salutes replaced merchant salutes. Thousands of people spoke in unison, impassioned and heroic!

A large number of border residents have also been organized long ago, following the Zhaoyi Army and the Weimin Army, shouting at the tsunami, making this farewell scene, which should be full of parting feelings, become passionate and passionate.

Chu Ning transferred two thousand sets of thin armor and two thousand three/edge/spear/heads from the Zhaoyi Army and lent them to Xiao Hongfei.

Without further ado, Xiao Hongfei distributed a thousand sets of thin armor and guns/heads to Mao Gui, and then he, Yan Lingge and Li Rui each led a troop and set off for their respective battlefields.

Unlike every time they sent troops to fight in the past, the morale of the Zhongwu Army was like a rainbow this time.From Xiao Hongfei to ordinary soldiers, they were all smiling and full of vigor.

Xiao Hongfei was happy that Chu Ning not only borrowed the armor, but also generously borrowed ten chariots and crossbows, which surprised Xiao Hongfei and was really moved in his heart.

To the delight of the soldiers of the Zhongwu Army, not only did they get the rewards they seized before, but each of them also had a tube of beef jerky and a bamboo tube of refined salt in their baggage.

Refined salt is a good thing. You know, in the past when they were marching outside, they could only live on vinegar cloth. Even if it was coarse salt mixed with mud, only generals and officers could eat it. Give each of them two or three catties.

Because they had snatched a lot of war horses from Xianbei before, the Zhongwu army picked up more than [-] bad horses. Together with the previous mules and horses, they set off from Muyang City with their luggage, marched all the way, and arrived at Husu six days later. County, and then from Husu County to Liucheng in the north, and began to sweep west along the city and villages.

When Xiao Hongfei returned to Husu County, Yan Lingge had already led the Fengming War Department across Duanbu Xianbei's pastoral area again, ran to the upper reaches of the Raoshui River, and began to set foot in Yuwen Xianbei's territory.Behind her, many Xianbei tents in Duanbu were destroyed wantonly, cattle and sheep were robbed and slaughtered by her for on-the-spot replenishment, and the population was driven by her to flee in all directions, and there was no peace.

At the same time, the [-] loyal soldiers led by Li Rui and Mao Gui also traveled across the ocean on the Bai family merchant ship and arrived in Wuzhong County.

And Chuning, finally realized what it means to be self-inflicted and what it means to suffer unspeakably.

The 32 students brought by Bai Su from Huang County, after Chuning's interview and preliminary test, were assigned tasks according to their abilities and specialties.

Building roads and houses, population statistics, household registration resettlement, opening up wasteland, building water conservancy, labor arrangements...everything was started from scratch, and 32 people put in it with their own hands.

The recruitment documents have been posted outside for several days, but no one who can be used has been recruited.Chuning really had no choice, even He Qilang was taken out, and 200 men were assigned to him, and he was asked to fish in the nearby shallow sea.

Fortunately, the ocean here has not been developed much. Even though the tools are simple, the harvest is still very gratifying. Moreover, at the request of Chuning, some fishermen with excellent water quality have found kelp, agaric, Wakame, seaweed and other crops of great economic value.

Although underwater picking is still difficult, it can't help Chuning's desire to make money. After studying several eating methods with Zhu Erxi, they promoted them in the newly built Heaven and Earth Restaurant in Muyang City. Although the price is frighteningly expensive, under the call of delicious food and money, a group of merchants brought by Bai Su began to be helpless and came to the door one after another.

Knowing the economic value of these things, Chuning naturally wouldn't let go easily. Instead, she tricked the Geng family, the Song family... and other powerful merchants into selling salted fish for her.

Yes!Selling salted fish - He Qilang and others harvest a lot every day, so Chuning is naturally unwilling to feed the tens of thousands of mouths of his subordinates directly, not to mention that it will make their stomachs fuller if they are replaced with food, but just dry the live fish into salted fish , From direct to indirect, many jobs have been created, not to mention going around, and it can also bring other benefits to Chuning.

The Geng and Song families are well-known in Donglai. If it is an ordinary dried fish, they would definitely not want to touch it. However, Chuning’s dried fish is full of salt. It is not only delicious for meat and vegetables, but also cheap. The lack of sales is even wider than the sales of live sheep before. After all, it is something that only rich people can afford.

Therefore, they basically didn't discuss any conditions with Chuning, so they took out money one after another and sponsored a lot of labor hunting funds for Chuning. The only request was to let Chuning expand production.

Of course, the reason why Chuning devotes so much effort to the fishing industry is not only because it can bring immediate economic profits, but more importantly, Chuning hopes to train a group of fishery talents to help her catch mobile gold mines in the sea --whale!

Yes!It is the whale—not only the meat is delicious and edible, but the liver can also be used to extract cod liver oil, and the whale skin can be used to make leather...One whale skin is equal to more than 100 cowhide, which can be used to make more than a thousand pairs of leather shoes. How can this profit not be astonishing?

Of course, Chuning did not intend to let her subordinates live a luxurious life of eating whale meat. She planned to catch a few whales and return them to earn some capital—as long as she can complete the experiment of saponification reaction in this era, then she can use Whales come to make soap, and the fat of one whale is enough to produce millions of bars of soap, which is only the first dividend.

The experiment of oil saponification reaction is very simple, and I learned it in middle school in Chuning’s previous life, but the materials used in the experiment were all ready-made products at that time, but now, many materials require Chuning to collect substitutes by himself, so the difficulty has increased a lot In addition, she has an urgent schedule and is busy with affairs, so she has no time to mess around.

If she can get the saponification reaction out, not only can she use each whale to produce millions of bars of soap, she can also use the residue to make candles, and more importantly, she can get a more profitable thing-glycerin!

In Chuning's previous life, glycerin was used in a wide range of industries, such as industry, medicine, food, cosmetics, etc. It was even used to make explosives in the early [-]th century.

Of course, Chuning doesn't have any idea about explosives, she just wants to use glycerin for cosmetics and food.

In addition to Chinese herbal medicines, most of the cosmetics in this era have unknown ingredients, and some people even directly use mercury to whiten the face, and use flour to apply to the face... Therefore, if Chuning develops glycerin in this world, it will be a breeze based on her skin care and beauty experience in her previous life. can occupy the dominance of this industry.

The application range of glycerin in food is more extensive, such as dried meat, sausage, bacon, preserved fruit, etc., can use glycerin to extend the shelf life.Especially in the wine industry, in this era when everyone loves wine but food is scarce, if Chuning has glycerin, she can brew fruit wine wantonly and monopolize the wine market.

Once these businesses fall into Chuning's hands, why worry about the tens of thousands of people under his command not being able to support them?Why worry about not being able to smash a strong soldier?

However, food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step. Now Chuning, not only does not have the prestige of being a general, but lives a harder life than most of the border residents. force, forcibly building and promoting an economic system that has barely begun to circulate.

People in this era are mostly limited to the land. Even Geng, Song and other merchants want to buy people and land here.Therefore, if Chuning did not adopt tough and incentive measures to divide labor and resettlement, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people will eventually run to open up wasteland, and then guard a large area of ​​land, eat up the food reserves of merchants, and drag down the logistics of the guards. In the end, everyone fell into poverty together.

In order to make the economy circulate, the first decree Chuning announced here is to prohibit human trafficking. All merchants here can only hire people to work for them. With a very strong posture, they use swords and blood to force people to sell The labor force is transformed into the basic economy.

The merchants digested part of the labor force, and the rest were absorbed and resettled by Chuning himself. First, departments such as the Fishing Department, the Hunting Department, and the Carpentry Workshop were established, and then a brick and tile workshop was established. Merchants from Qingzhou offered money to burn pottery and sell pottery with her.

In this era when there is no plastic, ironware is scarce, and copperware is not affordable for ordinary people, pottery occupies an extremely important position in people's daily necessities, such as urns, jars, bowls, basins, bottles, pots, plates... Everything is made of pottery, so Chuning put his mind on it.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people here, and buying a bowl for each person is a huge profit, isn't it?

Of course, Chuning has an advantage, that is, she can use multiple things. Selling pottery to make money is only one of her goals. Another goal is to burn cement.

When Chuning worked in the building materials industry in her previous life, she worked with cement a lot. She even went to many large and small cement factories, and visited some small cement workshops in person. Therefore, she has confidence in burning this product. Quite enough.

In Shepherd City, limestone is everywhere, and Chuning has sent people to collect a lot, and lime mixed with clay is "Portland cement". , but need waterproof cement.

The production principle and materials of waterproof cement are also quite simple. Portland cement is mixed with volcanic ash, which is volcanic ash concrete. The ancient Romans used this thing to repair the sewers and roofs of the city of Rome.

Of course, there is no volcanic ash here, so Chuning would vigorously encourage the burning of bricks and pottery, and prepare to use broken bricks, rotten pottery, cinders, etc. to grind them into powder to replace volcanic ash.

Lime, clay, slag ash... and the proportions of various raw materials and the method of producing this mixture were all clearly remembered in Chuning's mind. Therefore, it only took more than a month and she failed only twice. The first furnace of waterproof cement was fired successfully.

Looking at the trial production salt field of more than ten meters in length and width, Chuning smiled very happily, and quickly sent Liang Chunhua to invite Bai Su, thinking to himself, it should be possible to get it together now, right?

Speaking of it, it was also tears.For the past few months, although Bai Su and Chu Ning have met and communicated as usual, outside of official business, she has stopped talking to her. As for the super good benefits of sleeping with each other in the past... General Chu I have been sleeping alone for more than a month.
