Chapter 95 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (44)

  Receiving the imperial decree delivered to the Jinnan Prince's Mansion in a hurry, Yan Kejin smiled back in anger, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

  Others may not understand the emperor's intentions in this operation, but Yan Kejin, his own son, knows his father's thoughts clearly.

  Why else?

   Isn't it just to please his current queen. In his eyes, other people are all tools.

  Reuse him?

Ah!

   Doesn't this mean that he is living happily in Nanman?

  After hearing the imperial decree, Xu Yin almost couldn't control her hidden temper.

  The **** who read out the imperial decree was invited by the discerning butler to drink tea and eat snacks in the teahouse.

  When only the husband and wife were left in the room, Xu Yin couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the emperor?"

   After finally adapting to the climate of the southern barbarians, they settled down here, started agriculture, industry and commerce, and started infrastructure construction. An imperial decree will send people to the northwest border again.

   Is it okay to be so shameless?

   "You are his own son, right?"

  Yan Kejin's mood suddenly improved a lot when she saw the cute look of the princess rolling her sleeves angrily, wishing she could rush to Beijing to vent her anger for him.

  The haze that was stagnant in my heart disappeared at this moment.

   "Not angry, not angry."

  He hugged her into his arms and kissed the top of her hair.

   "Isn't it the king who is so angry that his body hurts? This matter, if you think about it from another angle, it's not all a bad thing."

   "Oh?" Xu Yin calmed down, followed his thoughts, and suddenly realized, "Yes! You are worried that you can't recruit troops, so he sent you a hundred thousand troops?"

   "Yes!" Yan Kejin clapped his hands and laughed, "The firearms battalion you mentioned can be formed now."

  Thinking about it from another angle, this edict came in a timely manner.

   The couple looked at each other and smiled.

  However, the journey to Yanguan is long, and the transportation of firearms is no better than other supplies.

   Fortunately, I originally planned to come out with a solar-powered mechanical vehicle that could replace the horse-drawn carriage after returning from Qin County. Now I want to design a vehicle that can carry both people and goods.

  Xu Yin searched the system mall, and found a design drawing and some materials of a military armored vehicle that can be transported over long distances. You can see the exchange price—9999 energy points! !

   Good guy!

  She called it a good guy!

   This is the rhythm of clearing the balance of energy points.

  She clutched her chest in distress.

   After exploring the five counties of Nanban, in addition to harvesting five frames of maps, they also received a wave of gratifying energy point rewards.

   Being able to have a five-digit energy point balance is all due to this wave of rewards.

   But it’s time to spend it before it’s warmed up...

   Feeling distressed, Xu Yin exchanged it without hesitation after repeated consideration.

   You can earn more energy points after spending them, but if you miss the armored vehicle design, you may not have the opportunity to get it again.

   After getting the drawings, first hand over the required materials to Yan Kejin to collect.

  Now, she doesn't make excuses anymore, and he also cooperates so tacitly that he doesn't ask where it came from, just use it.

  Thanks to the fact that the workshops under the Wangfu are everywhere, iron carriages, glass windows, rubber tires... can be raised quietly without disturbing the outside world.

  Xu Yin turned on the scene simulation function and concentrated on tinkering with the engine.

  In addition, she made a purchase list of supplies: "Mother, you pick a few clever boys and purchase them separately. We are in a hurry, the sooner the better."

  Yanguan is located in the northwest gate, with a large temperature difference between day and night. When it’s cold, you shiver in a thick cotton robe. When it’s hot, you can burn your skin when the yellow sand blows on your face.

  She first thought of down feathers. Aren’t there many families in Qin County that raise sea ducks? Even if the duck down is not discarded, it is mixed in the humus pile for composting.

  When the imperial chef kills ducks, he collects the fine duck down and uses it as a sample, which is handed over to the boys who go to buy it.

   "This is what I call duck down. You can charge as much as you can."

   It doesn’t matter if you can’t collect enough duck down in a short period of time. First open the down workshop, collect it at any time and make it at any time.

  The problem of keeping warm in cold winter is solved, and then there is the veil and veil for sun protection and wind and sand in summer.

   Men might not like this thing, but the women in Yanguan will definitely like it.

  A lot of Yanguan are female relatives of the army. She brings some of them as souvenirs, and she can also shorten the distance between her and them.

  Xu Yin was thinking about it little by little while tinkering with the car engine, and whenever she thought of it, she would prepare it.

  Living supplies are nothing more than rice noodles, grain, oil, condiments, clothes, bedding and daily necessities.

  In the past two or three years, Zhuangzi under the Wangfu has planted high-yielding grains one after another. The existing stocks in Zhuangzi's granary alone are more than enough for them to live in Yanguan for a few years.

  In terms of oil, since the purchase of Moshidou was released, the oil mill has also opened. In addition to obtaining soybean oil, attempts have also been made to extract protein fiber from soybean meal to make soybean fiber quilts.

   It’s just that the amount of fodder beans purchased is not enough for the three workshops to start work at the same time, so the soybean fiber has not been officially put into use, except for trial production.

   Right now, Xu Yin can't take care of it. The production progress of the tofu workshop and soy sauce workshop will be slowed down first, and the oil press workshop will work overtime first.

  Brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar, soy sauce and other condiments are temporarily suspended from taking orders from merchants in the Central Plains, and the needs of the palace will always be given priority.

  Xu Yin was very fortunate at this time. When she first arrived in Nanman, she had the idea of ​​popularizing high-yielding grain seeds and building workshops, and put them into practice.

  If it had been a year or so later, we would not be able to raise so many supplies at this time.

The workshops under the Wangfu have not stopped production during this period of time. The workers have to work overtime day and night in three shifts. Rao has recruited batch after batch of manpower, and the overtime wages are still more than double or triple their monthly salary. .

  Based on this momentum, the workers feel that they don’t have to wait two or three years until the next spring to build a solid and bright brick house!

  Xu Yin was busy, and Yan Kejin was also not idle for a moment.

  He was worried that after he left, the prince might send spies to Nanman to inquire about the property under his name.

  His eyes are sharp: "Yan Qi, pass on the order: come one and cut one, come two and cut one pair!"

  This is his fief, apart from taxation, it is also his base camp.

  The base camp is stable, and the front line is guaranteed.

   Otherwise, how can food and grass continue?

   It wasn't that he was supercilious. Based on his understanding of Yan Keheng, that guy might really be a hindrance and deceitful, or even cut off food and grass, and cut off the livelihood of the soldiers of Yanguan.

   Once the soldiers are hungry, let alone attacking cities and looting land, it is unknown whether they can obey orders.

  Xu Yin listened to his concerns and put forward a feasible suggestion after pondering:

"It's a bit far away for Nanman to supply grain and grass for Yanguan. So, my father wrote to say that the emperor approved his resignation to return to his hometown, and he can return to his hometown in the north of Furong County in a few days. It's better to let my father buy a batch of fields there. , to grow high-yielding rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. The climate in the north of Furong County is suitable for both rice and wheat, and the transportation from there to Yanguan is much closer than here. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. The granary can also be placed in a few more places."
