Chapter fifty-nine not hypocritical
"...Miss Zheng is interested in the adults..."
Ying Yi thought, and Sun Xiucai kept chattering. He suddenly heard this and hurriedly said, "What did you say?"
Seeing Ying Yi's dumbfounded look, the scholar couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you ask the county magistrate if you don't understand something?"
Ying Yi swallowed and nodded barely.
"Every time my subordinates go back to see the county master, Mrs. Zheng will ask his subordinates quietly, what he is doing, and what he is doing now... Mrs. Zheng, if he hadn't been interested in him, how could Mrs. Zheng ask his subordinates these questions? Mrs. Zheng has placed a house arrest!"
Ying Yimuran.
Nowadays, little girls are too precocious, right?
He said after a long time, "Forget it, let's do it for now. Anyway, I'm so busy that I'm dizzy, for the time being..."
Sun Xiucai said: "So, Lord, have you agreed to this matter?!"
Ying Yi glared at him: "I've agreed."
Ying Yi is not a pretentious person. This is a great benefit, and he can beat you one stone, not to mention that Zi Niang is quite outstanding. He just cares about Zi Niang's age. If he waits for Zi Niang a few more years and is about to be eighteen, Ying Yi will not be ruthless at that time.
"Then you'd better go to see the county master as soon as possible." Sun Xiucai hit the railway while it was hot: "The county master has a knot in his heart, but Mrs. Li is not the case. The adult should know it."
Ying Yi pointed at him and shook his head repeatedly: "You!"
Then he said: "I will go to see the county master later. As for Wang Zhongguan and Yuan clan..."
He paused: "It's also my own pursuit of death. I saw that ten days have arrived, but I released Yuan when I came back this time. I can't stop him from committing death. You take them away and I will take them away when I leave."
"Yes, sir." Sun Xiucai nodded and said, "What should I do with Dongchang's manga?"
"Take it away together." Ying Yi waved his hand, and had already decided where these people went in his heart - he had been busy for so many days, and even a real spirit number was not recorded. This time, the waste was used and brought to the road halfway and it was all gone.
Then, "I'm back this time, besides remembering the gun barrel and rattan armor, there are a few more things."
When Sun Xiucai heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sir, the gun rod has been prepared for two thousand. A few days ago, I found a large forest of red-edged wood in the mountains. The craftsman said it was excellent rod making materials. There is no need to go all over the mountains to find rod materials. The speed of rod making has been greatly improved. I guarantee that the number of 5,000 can be prepared in less than five days."
"Red Leather?" Ying Yi was honestly not very familiar with the materials for making gun rods.
He said, "Call the craftsmen and ask me."
Lian Biao next to him hurriedly said, "Sir, I'll go call now."
Then he left in a hurry.
Sun Xiucai said: "As for the rattan armor... it should be said that rattan armor is right." He paused and said: "Sir, I have made several sets of rattan clothes. The effect is, so I will only know after I see it."
"You're still keeping a secret." Ying Yi laughed: "Then try it later."
Sun Xiucai smiled and said, "I will definitely not disappoint you."
Then he said: "These days, I mobilized my wife to go up the mountain to harvest tens of thousands of kilograms of thorn vines, which were all soaked in the water. But it would probably take a lot of time to make all the thorn coats. In addition, tung oil is not enough. Fortunately, it was in the mountains, and it has not rained since the beginning of autumn last year. The tung seeds fell to the ground and just collected them to squeeze oil. But my subordinates thought that some of the oil-reducing tools should be made as soon as possible in Bibo Valley."
Ying Yi nodded: "Jiang Xi said that the gun tip will take six days to complete. After the completion, the workshop will devote some of its energy to various tools."
Speaking of this, he said to Sun Xiucai: "If the rattan armor...if the rattan jacket can satisfy me, it will definitely be weaved on a large scale. You must know how to arrange it and the rewards in it."
Sun Xiucai nodded: "Don't worry, my subordinates have long been concerned. Weaving is not more troublesome and time-consuming than gun rods. My subordinates' ideas are also implemented in the account. I have done this before. I asked women to go up the mountain to harvest thorny vines, and whoever harvests them will belong to them. Then I taught them the process, soaking water, soaking oil, and setting standards, with six feet as the lowest, seven feet as the middle, and seven feet as the top, weaving three sizes of large, medium and small, so as to meet the needs of soldiers with different figures. After making it, pay them directly to buy them."
Ying Yi laughed when he heard this: "This is a good way. Then do you think a set of rattan clothes costs?"
Sun Xiucai stretched out a slap: "Five taels of silver."
Ying Yi was surprised when he heard this: "Five liang is not cheap."
Sun Xiucai said: "All armors have always been more expensive than weapons, and there is no reason. Moreover, the people have worked hard, and to be honest, there is not much money for five taels of silver. If possible, my subordinates think that twenty taels are worth it. A set of rattan jackets, from the mountain to harvest thorny vines, soaking oil, and until weaving them into ready-made clothes, it will take at least twenty days. Five taels of silver per set, only half a tael a day will be counted as a day."
Ying Yi nodded: "I am very happy that you can think so. People need to make money to make life, and what you and I do will make sense."
Sun Xiucai nodded silently.
"I tried the effect later. If I am satisfied, it will be temporarily set to five liang." Ying Yi touched his palm and said, "I will talk about it later depending on the situation."
"Yes, sir."
Ying Yi then said, "In addition to the gun bar and Tengyi, I have three more things to do when I come back this time. First, gunpowder and spears are out of date, and firearms are the king. These spears are just emergency responses. If possible, I even want the entire army to equip firearms immediately, and the spears are only used as auxiliary. But now there is no way, so I can only put them in order. However, the preparation of gunpowder needs to be put on the agenda. So I want you to find a way to make gunpowder."
Sun Xiucai directly replied: "I will find a way to accomplish this as soon as possible. It is inevitable to open a road in the mountains."
Ying Yi nodded and reminded: "It's good that you know. Gunpowder is very dangerous and must be isolated from the residential area. You must remember this. As for the talents you need, you can find a way to find out your own way, select and recruit from the valley, or find the craftsmen in Bibo Valley for help, I will only look at the results."
"I understand." Although Sun Xiucai felt embarrassed, he agreed without hesitation.
"Besides gunpowder, another thing is to open a store."
"Shop? Now?" Sun Xiucai was stunned. Ying Yi mentioned it to him at the beginning, but the scholar didn't expect it to be so soon.
Ying Yi nodded: "Now the people work for me, I pay them money, but the money has to be spent on it to be valuable to the people. Therefore, opening a shop is imperative."
"But sir, we have nothing to sell." Sun Xiucai said in a tangled manner.
"Why didn't there?" Ying Yi laughed: "Can you sell salt? We have a salt mine, why don't the salt produced be kept? Not only will it be sold to the people in the valley, but the output will also be sold. Otherwise, it will be sold for 2 million taels of silver, will it be empty?"
"In addition to salt, there is also food." Ying Yi said again: "When the people in the valley moved in, they didn't bring much food. I'm afraid they would go hungry in a few months. We have 200,000 shi of grain, which can be sold partly, so doing so will make the people feel at ease."
After hearing this, Sun Xiucai couldn't help but feel enlightened.
