Playing intrigue is worse than engaging in infrastructure

As far as the current situation in Mobei is concerned, the benefits brought by this army are far greater than the cost of continuous investment.

But the road of supporting war with war cannot last long.

War is real blood and tears, the loss of countless lives and the separation of families.

If there is a choice, the soldiers in the barracks would prefer to train every morning, do some lime burning and cement work in the afternoon, and sit and chat with their comrades on the warm kang in the evening.You don't have to worry about whether you will stay on the battlefield forever, and you don't have to feel guilty because you can't serve your parents.

Song Qingyuan turned his head and glanced at Lian Ti who was talking to the soldiers who were mopping the wall.

They have never discussed this matter, but Song Qingyuan can feel that compared to endless battles, watching soldiers die in battle again and again, Lian Ti also prefers to be a supervisor with nothing to do every day, and then think about straw weaving skills. life.

Song Qingyuan paused, wanted to speak, but felt that it was still too early to say these things, he didn't need to make a vague promise too early, as long as Mo Bei was getting better step by step, such a day would eventually come arrival.

For some reason, Song Qingyuan's subtle dissatisfaction with Lian Ti suddenly dissipated.

"Forget it..." He glanced at the people beside him, and thought to himself: If you have nothing to do, just do it.

After chatting a few words with Lian Ti about "the application of cement in future urban buildings", Song Qingyuan keenly discovered that the other party's state today seems to be a little bit wrong.

Could it be that he was too indifferent just now?Song Qingyuan was puzzled.

But even Song Qingyuan, who is very good at perceiving people's hearts, can't guess the other party's thoughts now.

Because at this moment, Lian Ti was thinking about how to ask Wu Qina Xingshi for his crimes when he went back later.

Mingming Wu Qina told him that the best way to shorten the distance between two people is to keep praising each other.But he had just exhausted all his life's knowledge and sincerely and enthusiastically praised Song Qingyuan's intelligence and knowledge, but Song Qingyuan had no intention of getting closer to him, and he didn't even show any joy.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have expected anything from what that idiot said.

Here Lian Ti is still angry, but Song Qingyuan beside him has already changed his mind.

He came here today because he had one more thing to do besides looking at the house.

The subordinate just brought over the straw weaving woman he met on the street earlier.

The woman had been working in the soybean oil workshop during this time.She is a down-to-earth person, can endure hardships, and is very quick in doing things. Just a few days after she arrived, she was recognized by the military camp steward, who made her responsible for the daily work of cooking soybeans.

Song Qingyuan treated them very well. Since they came to work in the workshop, the two of them, mother and son, have now lived a life without worrying about food and clothing.

The woman in front of her had a ruddy complexion and her cheeks were much plumper than before. Although the clothes on her body were plain, they were cleanly washed. She was completely different from when Song Qingyuan met her on the street.

Seeing her current appearance, Song Qingyuan knew that she was doing well, and couldn't help being a little happy.

"Your Highness called my concubine here today. I don't know why?" The woman put her hands in front of her and saluted, trying to suppress the excitement in her heart.

Since she was arranged by Song Qingyuan to work in the soybean oil factory, she has always been grateful to Song Qingyuan, but she has never had the opportunity to express her gratitude.Yesterday, when the steward informed His Highness that he wanted to see him, he was so excited that he stayed up all night.

Song Qingyuan's help to him in her most difficult time was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.If it weren't for the other party, she might not even be able to survive this winter, and she would become a common frozen corpse on the street and starve to death, ending this miserable half of her life.

Not only her, who was recruited to work is not grateful to Song Qingyuan?

"I remember you know how to weave straw, don't you?" Song Qingyuan could see that the person in front of him couldn't hide his excitement, so he slowed down his tone and asked softly.

"That's right." The woman nodded, brushed the broken hair around her ears in embarrassment, and added: "But that's not a great skill, most of the people in the city can make up this thing, it's not worth it. What."

Lian Ti stood behind him, looked at Song Qingyuan with a chuckle, and thought: There is someone in front of you who can't learn it, so it's inappropriate to say this in front of him.

Song Qingyuan nodded gently, wondering if he heard the laughter behind him, and continued: "But I think your weaving is very delicate."

Lian Ti's smile froze on his face.What does this mean?Could it be that you dislike me for not doing well enough...

It shouldn't be, Song Qingyuan felt dissatisfied even though the finished product he made was unanimously approved by the barracks?

I don't know how good the craftsmanship can be praised by Song Qingyuan.I even thought about it.

He looked up at the woman in front of Song Qingyuan.It was also the first time for the woman to see so many big men, and she was already apprehensive, but being stared at by Lian Ti's sharp eyes made her even more apprehensive.

She wiped the sweat from her hands on the hem of her clothes, and looked at Song Qingyuan helplessly.

Song Qingyuan first gave Lian Ti a silent warning, then turned around, showed her a comforting smile, and said, "It's not a big deal, just thinking that since you know how to weave straw, I don't know if you can use it or not. Knit wool into a sweater?"

"Did your Highness mean to weave cloth with wool?" The woman was a little puzzled.

"No." Song Qingyuan shook his head repeatedly.

Knitting sweaters and weaving are two completely different things.

But Song Qingyuan really didn't know anything about wool spinning.He only watched other people knitting sweaters from a distance when he went to the village for inspection.

The older grandma sat at the entrance of the village, holding a thick needle tens of centimeters long in each of her left and right hands.Grandma's fingers fluttered, and after a while, one sleeve of the sweater took shape.

The only thing Song Qingyuan regrets now is why he didn't take a closer look at the beginning.

As long as he took a few more glances, he wouldn't be so confused now, hesitating to the woman's puzzled face and being speechless.

"To knit a sweater, you use two needles, and then...then... put wool on one of them, hook it in... no, use the other needle..." He stumbled on the short sentence .

In the end, Song Qingyuan still chose to give up struggling, and said to the woman: "Actually, I don't know how to weave, I just saw it by chance, if you don't know how, forget it."

When the woman hears it, what can I do?She finally had a chance to be needed by His Highness, how could she just miss it for nothing.

She gritted her teeth, and said firmly to Song Qingyuan: "Your Highness, don't worry, I am good at female celebrities since I was a child. Your Highness, give me a few more days, and I will definitely figure it out."

"It's not urgent." Song Qingyuan didn't want to put too much pressure on her, so he comforted her: "It was just a whim on my mind, so it doesn't matter if I can't think of it."

There is nothing wrong with saying this.

Knitted sweaters have failed and woven cashmere sweaters can be made into wool felt. The wool will never be wasted.

"However, if you can think of other ways to weave wool thread into clothes, you can take charge of the wool weaving in the workshop in the future. If you want, you can teach the students after the academy is completed."

"Is what you said true, Your Highness?" The woman looked at Song Qingyuan in disbelief.

Song Qingyuan wanted to open an academy specializing in teaching crafts to the common people. She had also heard the news, but she never thought that women could also learn, let alone that she could be a master and teach students.

"Of course it's true." Song Qingyuan smiled and nodded.

"I must work hard!" The other party replied excitedly.

"Amin, you have to work hard, maybe I will have to be your student in the future!" A kind teasing suddenly came from the side.

The speaker was holding a food box in his hand, and he was here to deliver lunch to the soldiers who were in charge of building the house.

The circumstances of the few of them are very similar, and after coming to Song Qingyuan to work here, they quickly became acquainted with each other.Hearing the news that Song Qingyuan said that women can also learn crafts today, he was happy for a while, so he joked aloud, even forgetting that Song Qingyuan and Lian Ti were there.

Song Qingyuan would not make things difficult for them because of such a trivial matter, and after a few instructions, he and Lian Ti left here.

After Song Qingyuan collected wool, he taught them how to spin yarn with wool.The collected wool is not much, and the yarn that can be twisted is also limited, but it is enough for the opponent to practice.

The current wool can only be obtained when people slaughter mutton.If you want to collect a large amount of cashmere, you have to wait until May and June.

Cashmere is something that only goats have, not sheep.When the weather gets hotter in May and June, the goats will start to shed their hair.At this time, the outermost wool of the goat can be cut short, and then the soft and delicate cashmere under the wool can be combed with an iron comb.

As for sheep wool, there is no need for such a complicated process. Sheep are not divided into wool and cashmere, as long as the hair on their bodies is shaved off.

Sheep wool is not as warm and soft as cashmere, but its yield is much higher than cashmere.At that time, it is a good choice to make a carpet blanket, or a coat and cape.

Now Song Qingyuan can be regarded as everything is ready.As long as the time comes, you can shed the fat sheep on the grasslands all over the mountains and plains.

And the thousands of sheep he had fostered in the Muhe Tribe had finally come into play.

After a while, I need to contact Du Wei and ask him to sell all the wool from various tribes.Song Qingyuan secretly planned.

Some time ago, there was also news from the mine that the cement plant had been completed and cement production had begun.

The raw materials and manpower in the mine are very sufficient, and the output of cement can be increased as soon as possible.But the cement production in the barracks has not stopped because of this.

There is no other reason. There are too many places where cement can be used now, not to mention that the canal that Song Qingyuan plans to build requires a lot of cement, and he also plans to use cement to build the craftsman school that is about to start construction.

But after all, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the daily coal consumption of the people is decreasing. After a while, they will not receive much coal cinders from the people.

It is not enough to rely solely on the cinders produced by burning lime and soda ash in the military camp and the coal used in daily life.In the future, the main supply of cement will still depend on the cement factory on the other side of the mine.

When he was about to reach the palace, Song Qingyuan suddenly asked, "Would your majesty give me some craftsmen who forge weapons?"
