Chapter 285 Su Jixiang's money-making business has taken another step forward
"As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure!" Su Jixiang's heart sank a little. "He is from Dayuezhi and has no foundation in the capital. If he can really make something like a miracle, he will indeed be killed. Then did no one go to Dayuezhi to exchange these things?"
Everyone knows that this is a good thing, and the powerful people in the capital all want to monopolize this technology. After several rounds of arguing, it would be strange if the craftsman could survive. If he can't get it, he won't let others get it.
Sometimes the truth is just so cruel.
"Yes, they are very expensive, because this kind of thing is fragile and difficult to transport. Dayuezhi is more than a thousand miles away from our Eastern Capital, and there is a sea of sand between them. The journey is long and there are bandits everywhere, so only small pieces of things can reach the capital. They are not very useful! A few glass balls are already very expensive, even the children in the palace don't have many. If there are really glass lamps that can be passed down, they are also very expensive." Wei Ling said. "But if Madam can make this kind of thing, you will really make a fortune!"
"What if I am also guilty of possessing the treasure?" Su Jixiang asked with a smile.
"Madam, where do you think I am?" Wei Ling said with a smile, his eyes slightly proud. "If I, Wei Ling, can't even protect my own wife, I don't need to live in this world!"
"You are awesome! I get it!" Su Jixiang looked at his arrogant look and couldn't help but laugh softly, "I get it. Making colored glaze is not difficult. But I need some loyal, capable and tight-lipped people."
"You can deploy the people in Beiyuan at will," Wei Ling said. "They are all very reliable, about 200 people."
"That's enough!" Su Jixiang said with a smile. "When the bakery in Mangcheng opens, I will come back to Beiyuan to make glass. You need to help me find a secret place."
"This is easy. The whole mountain belongs to me." Wei Ling said with a smile, "No one can get close to here without my permission."
Su Jixiang...
I've been tricked by this guy again!
"Then I'll make a list of what's needed for you and you can ask someone to do it!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.
"Madam's orders, no one dares to disobey!" Wei Ling bowed and said with a smile.
"Oh, right. I have already made a large part of the chain crossbows and fire rain arrows that Madam taught me before." Wei Ling straightened his face and said, "It's a pity that the Black Tiger Guard is not here now, otherwise I could show you one or two. The power should not be underestimated! If I had these things when I fought with that dog emperor before, the speed of the war would be shortened by half."
"These are just for attack, there are also defense!" Su Jixiang said with a smile, "I also drew the armor pattern of the heavy cavalry team for you, you can find someone to make a batch. I thought you had no iron ore before, so it would be difficult to make these things, but now it seems that you have plenty of iron ore!"
Wei Ling chuckled, "Don't worry, madam. Your husband is not a poor man." He had seen the heavy cavalry armor drawn by Su Jixiang. If it was really made according to what Su Jixiang drew, even he felt excited just thinking about it.
Once these heavily armored cavalrymen reach the plains, the soldiers will be invincible!
Su Jixiang gave him not only heavy cavalry armor, but also heavy chariots to match the heavy-armored special forces.
These chariots were pulled by heavily-armored war horses and charged in the front. There were heavily-armored soldiers, crossbow machine guns, and heavily-armored spearmen on the chariots. Once they charged, they were truly terrifying. The chariots led the way, and the war horses followed. The road was like a rolling iron stream, unstoppable!
Wei Ling had even planned a training plan in his mind.
He will first let the soldiers practice formations and combat coordination. The selected heavy-armored war horses and soldiers must have good physiques and a certain degree of flexibility while wearing these heavy equipment!
He has arranged for Xie Yingfeng to select candidates for the heavy cavalry battalion. As for their chief officer, Wei Ling has also thought of a candidate, Qu Chenxing.
Qu Chenxing has good military accomplishments. After all, he comes from a family of military commanders. He is very skilled in the use of battle formations. He is also a powerful general. Although he looks very gentle, he is very strong. He is also good at riding horses, so it is perfect for him to control those heavily armed war horses.
Moreover, once this heavily armored cavalry battalion is built, it will be a trump card in his hand, and naturally he will put it in the hands of his new people.
Although Qu Chenxing and his son are surrendered generals under the deposed emperor, their character is absolutely reliable.
What's more, his sister is Xie Yingfeng's wife.
Therefore, Wei Ling would feel relieved if he handed over the future heavy cavalry battalion to Qu Chenxing.
Su Jixiang and Wei Ling stayed in Beiyuan for three days. Su Jixiang taught the people of Beiyuan how to make honeycomb coal with coal ore.
Before this, Wei Ling had people make several types of stoves. This time when Su Jixiang came, everyone tried these stoves one by one. Almost everyone said that such stoves were safe and had high heat output. Installing such stoves indoors would make it much warmer than the charcoal basins that everyone had used before.
When using such a stove, the doors and windows of the house can be closed tightly, and there is no need to leave a gap for ventilation like when using a charcoal basin.
The coal is broken into small pieces and then burned in the stove. The smell is directly sucked away from the chimney, and there is no choking smell. This stove can also be used to boil water, so it is very practical.
If people want to go to bed at night, they can fill the stove with coal, seal the stove door, and then turn down the air damper. This way, the stove can burn all night without having to get up in the middle of the night to change the charcoal in the pot. It is very convenient.
With everyone's recognition, Su Jixiang is very confident about promoting such stoves in autumn.
However, the first thing she wanted to promote was the honeycomb coal stove.
In the past few days, people in Beiyuan have also made honeycomb coal under the guidance of Su Jixiang. They have been using it with the honeycomb coal stove for a period of time, and everyone says it works well!
After some calculations, we found that although the honeycomb coal stove is more expensive than firewood in summer, it is different in winter. This honeycomb coal stove is much cheaper than burning charcoal and less firewood. And the advantages of the honeycomb coal stove are also obvious. It is very stable and durable. So once winter comes, this thing is cheap and good.
However, if it is a clinic, restaurant or other place that needs to boil medicine and soup, this thing is much cheaper than using firewood and charcoal fire whether in winter or summer, and the temperature is also easier to control.
Before leaving Beiyuan, Su Jixiang asked people to make a batch of stoves and honeycomb coal. She would go back to Mangcheng to promote this thing.
