Chapter 476 Brother, How Did Your Gold Cake Fall Into My Arms? [Seeking Monthly Votes]

Three Kingdoms world, Hedong County.

Sun Facai walked out of the salt pond wearing a one-piece waterproof suit, first checked the sachet hanging on his chest, confirmed that there was no problem, and then happily lit a purple cloud:

"The buoyancy of the entire salt pond is very large, the salt concentration is very high, and the Yuncheng Basin has wind all year round, and the light is also suitable. It is simply a unique place for drying salt."

Du Ji was anxiously waiting for the production of salt, and bowed and said:

"President Sun, please guide us to build salt fields and drying fields, so that the official salt of the Han Dynasty can enter the homes of the people as soon as possible."

Sun Facai waved his hand:

"Old Du, don't worry, this matter cannot be done overnight... Let someone dig a field nearby first, it must be flat enough, each piece is about ten acres in size, and then put a thin layer of water in it, and wait for it to dry before collecting the salt."

The salt made directly is coarse salt, with many impurities, large particles, and more water. It needs to be transported to the warehouse and piled into piles to let the water evaporate.

When the salt particles become dry, they are sent to the salt washing machine, where they are re-dissolved with water and a matching solution, and filtered several times to remove impurities in the water.

Finally, they are processed into snow-white fine salt by machines, packed and sealed, and are finished salt.

Due to the war, the salt fields around the salt pond have stopped production. Even if the equipment is installed, it will not be possible to produce salt for a while.

Sun Facai asked Du Ji:

"Has the machine been debugged?"

"It has been debugged, and it feels very useful... Dean Sun, do we have salt now?"

"Let the families in Hedong send the salt first, and use their salt to test the operation of the machine, and produce some fine salt to give the people some confidence."

Hearing this, Ji Ling, who had just returned from patrol, asked:

"What if they don't agree?"

"After the salt is produced, it needs to be transported and sold. These are not suitable for the government to do. If any family is willing, the transportation work can be outsourced. This is a lucrative job. As long as the word gets out, they will definitely come to deliver salt. If they don't need it, they will cry."

Ji Ling: ????????????????????????

Can it be played like this?

Why do I feel that my brain is not enough the more I communicate with you?

Du Ji asked two people in the prefectural government to handle this matter. Within three days, they need to raise 5,000 kilograms of salt so as not to delay the experiment.

In fact, the next morning, a line of salt trucks came to deliver salt. The amount was at least 10,000 kilograms, not counting those that were still on the way.

Liu Xie said to Du Ji:

"The noble families in Guanzhong Plain have been dealt with. When Hedong County has time, we will also deal with these families. They must either give up their land or pay other prices. In short, we must suppress them!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. We will start preparing for this matter in the spring of next year."

With the order to reclaim land, Du Ji will make these families pay the price if they leave their land idle.

Sun Facai was eating a pack of Little Raccoon:

"We are about to embark on the road of industrialization. If the powerful families in Hedong do not quickly transform and still care about their one-third acre of land, they will be eliminated sooner or later."

After more than a day of hard work, the five or six thousand soldiers of Hedong County have opened up hundreds of drying fields around the salt pond. Now they are releasing water through the drainage canal. If there are uneven places, they will repair them to make the bottom of the drying field completely flat, which is more conducive to salt drying and shoveling.

"Teacher Sun, where are the wind turbines installed?"

After talking about cleaning up the family, Liu Xie asked about the wind power station again.

Sun Facai originally planned to build it on the opposite Zhongtiao Mountain, but after calculating the distance, the required wires were too long and the power loss was a bit too much, so he simply built it next to the salt pond.

He built ten wind turbines on each side of the salt factory with the salt factory as the center.

After these generators are built, a small substation will be built, and the electricity can be continuously provided to the salt field.

With electricity, the salt processing plant can operate normally, and the drying yard can also introduce more equipment, and even the area of ​​the drying yard can be further expanded, and another set of salt equipment can be purchased to increase the efficiency and output of the salt plant.

After determining the installation location and number of wind turbines, Liu Xie came to the real world and prepared to report to Li Yu, and ordered and purchased as needed, so as not to miss the important events of Hedong County.

At this time, the B&B was having dinner. He washed his hands, quickly served himself a bowl of rice, and sat down to eat together.

Xiao Shimin was eating braised chicken wings. When he saw Liu Xie coming, he whispered:

"Brother Xie, have you chosen a location for your wind power station?"

"Just chosen...what's wrong with your eyes?"

His Majesty Taizong sighed:

"My father-in-law is going to take his family to Chang'an. He seems to die there when he leaves. I can't stop him. I asked a doctor to see him, but he ignored me and kicked me out of the mansion."

Tsk, does he think you are a little yellow-haired boy who is close to his daughter?

Li Yu put a piece of chopped pepper fish head in the bowl and asked Li Shimin:

"Are you still going to interfere?"

"Not for now. People's fate is predetermined and cannot be changed by force. Forget it."

Although he came into contact with the real world, little Shimin found dejectedly that he could not change the fate of others at all. He was always despised as a child.

He sighed sadly:

"Perhaps only when I wear the dragon robe and sit on the throne of the emperor will they look at me straight in the eye!"

However, despite his melancholy, he never stopped talking. While he was talking, he had already eaten three chicken legs.

Liu Xie reported the number of wind turbines needed and prepared to drive an excavator away later to complete the preliminary preparations.

For example, digging pits, trenches for burying cables, etc.

Li Yu looked at the logistics information on the wholesale website and said:

"It will probably arrive tomorrow. Last time, I bought 30 wind turbines and two substations directly. I will buy some more after you start construction."

Now with the help of the gods, I can buy bigger wind turbines.

Anyway, as long as it can be transported to the world in the book, no matter how huge the equipment is, it can be easily installed successfully.

Lu Bu picked up a piece of braised pig's trotter and said while chewing:

"It will take another day to install the base station in Tianjing Pass. Today, I have nothing to do, so I asked someone to carve "Ku Han Xing" on the stone wall to steal the limelight from A Man."

I wonder if Cao Cao will say that classic line in the future:

"I feel like I have always lived in the shadow of Wen Hou..."

The limelight of the three Caos was all stolen by Lu Bu and Sun Fa Cai. Although those who know them know that the two are plagiarists, the general public does not know this and only thinks that the current general of the cavalry is both civil and military, and is a great talent.

And the unfussy Dean Sun is like a banished immortal. Not only can he compose a poem in seven steps, but he can also compose a chapter with all his words. Various witty sayings and golden sentences emerge in an endless stream. It is simply a blessing for the Han Dynasty!

Lu Bu picked up a piece of stir-fried sweet potato leaves and chewed them with big mouthfuls, and said with some surprise:

"This is delicious. Can I use it for hot pot? Can you buy some for me? I will treat Lao Zhang to dinner later."

Li Yu said:

"This is picked from the field. I will pick some more when you treat Zhang Daoling to dinner."

In the past, sweet potato leaves were fed to pigs, but now people like to eat them more.

Lu Bu picked up another piece of chopsticks:

"When the sweet potatoes are planted next year, I will tell them that the sweet potato leaves can be eaten and not wasted."

Yuwen Chengdu said:

"I heard from the villagers that there are different varieties of sweet potato leaves. Some varieties have leaves that are not delicious and grow slowly. Some varieties have crisp and tender leaves. Whether they are cold, stir-fried, or steamed, they are delicious."

When Lu Bu heard this, he planned to have a chance to learn more and strive to add a few more vegetables to the Three Kingdoms world next year.

While eating, Li Yu saw that in the village group of Shitouzhai, several melon farmers were promoting watermelons.

Recently, there are more and more watermelons, and watermelons from other places are also sold here, which has caused the growers to have difficulty in selling. Now they are even involved in advertising in the group.

They are very good at strategy. After advertising, they also sent a few red envelopes in the group to create an atmosphere.

Li Yu thought about it and felt that it was time to do some watermelon diplomacy in the book world, so he asked directly in the group:

"How many watermelons do you have? Report the weight."

Wang Shengli saw Li Yu talking in the group and took the initiative to help count. There were about 100,000 kilograms of watermelons in total.

Li Yu said:

"Let's weigh them in the village and send them directly to the homestay. I have a relative driving a truck tonight, so I can take them away for him to distribute to the factory."

Seeing this news, several melon growers were all excited.

Wang Shengli hurried to help arrange it, and supervised the whole process when weighing them, for fear that Li Yu would suffer a loss.

After dinner, the farm truck that delivered watermelons had already driven up the mountain. Some villagers who were not busy also came to help unload the truck. By dark, more than 100,000 kilograms of watermelons had been unloaded into the warehouse.

After sending the villagers away, Li Yu pointed to the watermelons on the ground and said:

"You can divide them up. I'll call Zishou and Pengju over."

Soon, Zishou's tall figure appeared in the warehouse. Everyone drove their electric five-wheelers to load the watermelons and transport them away.

After finishing all this, Li Yu drove a truck and led Mu Guiying, Lu Bu, and Yuwen Chengdu to the scrap station. They transported all the scrap iron that had been accumulated recently to the mountain and asked Mu Guiying to deliver it to Muke Village.

"It hasn't been transported for a while, but he actually collected dozens of tons of scrap iron. Uncle Wang is really amazing!"

Wang Shengmin received commissions for collecting scrap, and he was fair and did not cheat on the scale, so those who collected scrap were willing to come to Shitou Village to ship the goods.

It was almost late at night when they finished with the scrap iron.

Li Yu made some food, and everyone left after eating and drinking.

Time in the real world is slow. During the few hours that Lu Bu stayed, another day passed in the Three Kingdoms world.

He tested the degree of solidification of the concrete, began to assemble the base station, and then asked Zhang Daoling to help erect it, and then fixed the screws from top to bottom, debugged the signal module and signal amplification equipment, and then packed up and prepared to leave.

"You are not busy, reclaim the land around Wanzi City. According to the satellite cloud map I saw over there, it is almost possible to reclaim 100 acres of arable land. Combined with fertilizers, it may be self-sufficient in the future."

After arranging the work for everyone, Lu Bu left two personal soldiers as grassroots officers, and then left Tianjing Pass, following the tortuous and difficult Yangchang Slope to Hanoi.

When the mountain road became rugged and steep, he simply sent everyone's mounts to the real world and walked forward.

"Damn, this road is really hard to walk on."

When Lu Bu was complaining about Yangchangban at Tianjing Pass, Ma Chao was also complaining about the same thing near Jingxing Pass. The winding path was looming in the mountains, and the road was full of ruts left by horse carriages, and even the stones were worn through.

Hao Zhao said as he walked:

"Han Xin sent troops from here and defeated the King of Chu. When I was a child, I had imagined passing by here more than once. I didn't expect that this wish would come true today."

Zhang Xiu opened the telescope box fixed under his ribs, took out the telescope and looked around:

"It is at least ten miles away from Jingxing Pass. I don't know where General Gao Shun is... Bodao, use the intercom to shout again and see if you can contact General Gao."

"Yes!"

Hao Zhao took out the intercom, replaced the backup power supply, adjusted the power to the maximum, dialed the 099 channel, pressed the call button to start the call.

Since he came into contact with modern technology, Gao Shun has been studying the information of modern warfare. He learned that the Type 99 main battle tank is known as the king of land warfare, so he used this number as his exclusive channel.

He hopes that his Xianzhen Camp can become the king of land warfare in the Three Kingdoms world like the Type 99 main battle tank.

"General Gao, General Gao, please answer if you hear me!"

Hao Zhao called several times, and just when he was about to turn down the power to save electricity, Gao Shun's voice came from the intercom:

"I am Gao Shun, who are you?"

"General, I am Hao Zhao, Hao Bodao, and I came to Changshan to pick up General Zilong's family on the order of Marquis Wen."

Gao Shun immediately understood:

"How many of you are there, and how far are you from Jingxing Pass?"

Ma Chao took the intercom and answered:

"Brother Shun, we have a total of 1,000 people, but General Zilong took 200 people to pick up his family, He ordered me and Brother Xiu Bodao to find a way to take Jingxing Pass... Brother Shun, what's the situation over there? "

Gao Shun reported the situation over there:

"We are less than 30 miles away from Jingxing Pass, and are blocked by a pass. Jingxing Pass has sent about two-thirds of its garrison to resist. If you can get close, you must take the pass as soon as possible and wipe out the garrison!"

Unlike other generals, Gao Shun is a person who puts public affairs first. Hearing the voice of his younger brother Ma Chao, he was very happy, but he still issued a combat mission as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao, and Hao Zhao's eyes lit up.

Although Jingxing Pass is important, the pass is not big, and the garrison is less than a thousand people at most. Now two-thirds of them have been transferred to the west to resist Gao Shun, so Jingxing Pass should be very empty now.

The opportunity for war is fleeting, and Jingxing Pass must be taken as soon as possible!

The three discussed and quickly formulated a combat plan.

Ma Chao, who had the strongest personal force, wore casual clothes and led a small team to the pass to knock on the gate. He did not ask to enter, as long as he could get close.

Hao Zhao used drones to investigate the situation in the pass and find out the distribution of the defenders.

Zhang Xiu was responsible for the bombing of large drones. He tied all the explosive packs sent by Zhang Xiu to the drones and threw them into Jingxing Pass unexpectedly to detonate.

If the cooperation is proper, Jingxing Pass can be taken within an hour.

After this pass is in hand, you can also pass through Jingxing Pass and attack the pass in the west with Gao Shun to wipe out the defenders there.

After discussing the countermeasures, Ma Chao led seven or eight cavalrymen to ride fast together. Not long after walking, Jingxing Pass, which was built at the throat of the mountain road, appeared in front of them.

Compared with other passes, this one is indeed not big.

But because of the dangerous terrain, even if there are tens of thousands of troops, they can't open the formation. It is a typical easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Before Ma Chao came close, the soldiers on the pass drew their bows and prepared to shoot arrows:

"No passage is allowed at this pass. Those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy!"

Ma Chao wanted to pretend to be a member of the Yuan family and act arrogant, but he thought of his northwestern accent, which would be exposed as soon as he opened his mouth, so he simply took out a handful of gold cakes from his arms and made up a story:

"Brothers on the wall, did you throw this? You are too careless. How can you throw things randomly?"

This operation confused the soldiers on the wall.

Everyone had suffered for half a lifetime and had never seen so many gold cakes, but if they wanted to open the door for this, they could not do it, after all, the captain was still there.

Ma Chao continued to shout:

"My relatives are in Taiyuan. I heard that there was a war over there. I came here specially to pick them up. I am not colluding with the enemy... If you don't believe me, look at this..."

He took off his cavalry sword and pulled it out of the scabbard, deliberately using the bright blade to reflect the sunlight onto the wall.

Seeing this knife, even the captain took a deep breath.

Although it was far away and not very clear, just looking at the bright blade, this knife is worth a lot.

"Where is the captain guarding the pass? Did you lose this knife?"

The captain on the wall swallowed his saliva and asked Ma Chao loudly:

"Who are you? Why don't you speak with a Changshan accent?"

Ma Chao lied:

"My family is a prominent family in Xiliang. I came to Jizhou to seek refuge with Yuanzhou Mu half a year ago. My sister was married to Taiyuan. I heard that there was a war over there, so I came to pick her up... If you don't believe me, I still have a pass specially opened by Guo Tu, the military advisor of the governor's mansion. Please take a look."

He didn't have a pass in his hand, but at this time, he had to lie. The more he said so, the easier it would be for the other party to be fooled.

The reason why Guo Tu was chosen was because this guy was not so upright. It sounded like someone who could help open a pass by giving money, while Shen Pei and Ju Su were relatively more rigid.

Ma Chao took out a piece of silk cloth from his bosom and waved it around as if it were a pass.

The captain on the wall looked at the bright long sword, then at the dozens of gold cakes, stared at the silk cloth in Ma Chao's hand and said:

"How about this, you come to the wall, I'll put a basket down and put the pass up, if it's true, I'll open the door and let you pass."

"It is a great honor for Jizhou to have a general guarding the pass here!"

Ma Chao did not bargain, but flattered the other party.

Just as he rode forward, Zhang Xiu's voice came from the headset:

"Go slowly, we still have a minute to get ready here."

Ma Chao tightened the reins and slowly approached the pass, holding up the silk cloth in his hand.

The soldiers on the wall had already determined that he was one of them, and they put down their bows and arrows one after another. Some even leaned directly on the parapet and looked down with a smile.

When they were getting closer, Ma Chao noticed that the large drone had already flown over the wall, so he deliberately pointed in the direction of their heads:

"Hey, what is that?"

When the people on the wall looked up at the drone, Ma Chao decisively threw away the silk cloth in his hand, quickly picked up the horse bow hanging on the horse's back, and pulled an arrow from the quiver.

Draw the bow, aim, loosen the string... The whole process was done in one go.

The captain on the wall was watching the drone and caught sight of the bow in Ma Chao's hand. Before he could raise a warning, an arrow pierced his eye socket!

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!"

The captain's screams opened the curtain for the assault on Jingxing Pass...
