Su Wei and Liang Chuan, two extremely dangerous elements, were separated. They were an ordinary old man and a country guy with muddy legs. Three sticks couldn't beat anyone in the crowd.
But once these two people get together, their dangerous power is like a nuclear weapon, and the chemical reaction produced is extremely amazing.
Su Wei never said he wanted to organize an army, and Liang Chuan didn't know how to allocate logistics. As a result, one was engaged in army team building and the other was engaged in logistics support. The southeastern land was in chaos, and a huge tumor was planted in it. The economic hinterland of the Song Dynasty was frantically sucking the blood of the empire.
Su Wei was just a fallen scholar back then, and he dreamed about Huangliang dreaming of creating his own world and becoming the king all day long. Everyone thought that he was just an arrogant scholar who got drunk and tried to claim immortality in vain. Who would have thought that he would become a madman for half his life? After that, Su Wei was making great strides towards his Huangliang dream.
Liang Chuan doesn't think about rebellion all day long. Rebellion is not something that can be accomplished by pulling off a piece of rag. The court seems corrupt, but once this huge war machine is put into operation, those thieves who want to rebel and cause chaos will know what it means. Mantis blocks the car!
This is not a trivial matter where you can make a little money and call three or five brothers to achieve a career!
Liang Chuan had many people and occupied a good position, but this group of people still failed!
Abdullah obviously had no business acumen. He went back and calculated how much money he could make from fifty pounds of sugar. After his entourage told him that it was equivalent to dozens of pounds of gold, his mind became hot and he returned to Qingyuan Port regardless. .
Su Wei is not a kind little old man.
The bad water in his belly is not as bad as that of ten Liang Chuans combined. Fortunately, such a person is a comrade and not an enemy.
Three days later, a fleet slowly approached Liu'ao Island. What the ship carried was not other cargo, but the iron ore that the island needed most!
One hundred thousand kilograms of iron ore was exchanged for fifty kilograms of sugar.
If this kind of behavior was carried out in future generations, proper state-owned assets would be lost, and it would be enough to pull him out and shoot him ten times.
To put it bluntly, these iron ores are soil. For Liang Chuan, this value will be the materials to equip his three armies in the future. For ordinary people, it is not as valuable as a few steamed buns.
The role of sugar is being promoted. Although the value of sugar will drop in the future as production increases, I believe that the market will not change much in a few decades. The king fried rice that Liang Chuan has on hand can still be used for a long time.
Fifty kilograms of candy could only be worth two pieces of Da Maoye in later generations. Now, not only was it exchanged for one hundred thousand kilograms of iron ore, but also two Oriental craftsmen.
The status of these two craftsmen was slaves. Craftsmen in the feudal era, whether in the Song Dynasty or other countries, were only a little better than animals. Abdullah did not even blink an eye when he sold them two, not at all. I feel distressed.
Abdullah has even sold the iron ore, so what are the craftsmen still doing?
The two craftsmen were ready to sacrifice their lives for Allah. When they arrived at Liu'ao Island, they discovered that these Song people were not as cannibalistic as they imagined. On the contrary, there were many craftsmen from other ethnic groups on the island. They worked quite happily. Not only In this way, they still have women to sleep with, wine and meat to enjoy, and there is such a place. Could it be a paradise for their craftsmen!
The two oriental craftsmen never felt that their craftsmanship was extraordinary.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Secret, on the contrary, they also felt that this craft would only bring disaster to them. Every time there was a war, they were always the ones who were recruited and enslaved the worst.
It's good to ask them to work as cows or horses. They will do the hard work for a lifetime, and it will be peaceful until the moment they lie down.
The two craftsmen received super generous treatment as soon as they arrived on the island!
The first is to solve the housing problem! There are many houses on the island, so there is no need to stay in the hot and dirty blacksmith shop. Su Wei also kindly found two widows to be their temporary husband and wife. Of course, it would be better if they wanted to get married!
The Persians in the East are also human beings, and they also yearn for warm days where there are people to care for and food to eat. As soon as these sugar-coated bullets came out, the two people immediately forgot about their God, and immediately stepped in and became the sons of the Han people!
Their iron smelting and knife making skills were handed over without reservation!
Damascus steel is not native to Persia, but to their colonial empire! This is the Yindu of later generations. This poor nation was enslaved by countless ethnic groups. In the end, they could not even tell who their ancestors were.
There are too many resources in Yindu, so much that the British Empire must keep this jewel among the emperors no matter what!
The distinctive feature of Damascus steel knives is the numerous water-like patterns on the surface of the knife. The water-like pattern on the blade surface is sometimes rose-shaped, with stripes running through the surface, called Mohammedan ladder. These patterns are often called Damascus patterns.
Weapons made of this steel have excellent toughness and almost never break in battle. The blade is extremely sharp and can split silk in two in the air effortlessly. It has long been considered a weapon of the Cold War Age. King of.
The Persians occupied Dashi and did not regard Asan as a human being at all. They forced them to dig out all the treasures that could be mined from their own land and transport them to other places. It would be a huge wealth at no cost!
The Persians even gave this steel a very pious name - Muhammad Steel!
In the difficult environment of language barrier, the two craftsmen overcame many difficulties and showed their skills. In front of a group of craftsmen, they punched out two long knives. Water-like patterns flowed on the blades. People are timid!
There is a hint of competition among the craftsmen from the three parties!
Party members are good at making armor, but their cold forging skills are unparalleled in the world. Oriental craftsmen have rare materials, so the knives they make are also terrible. Zhaodi has the magical skill of holding steel with his hands. Now the three parties have gathered together, and everyone wants to earn more presence on the island. This island respects craftsmen extremely, and as long as there is a product that can be obtained , money is definitely indispensable, food and women are even more important!
Craftsmen from half the island came out to move 100,000 kilograms of ore. This amount of work was not something that one person could bear.
In these technologically backward years, iron smelting was a very arduous task. The yield rate of a pound of iron is less than 40%, or even less than 30% all year round. If he could produce 30,000 pounds of Damascus steel, Liang Chuan would be able to smile!
One sword uses less than two kilograms of iron. The iron ore exchanged for these fifty kilograms of sugar can equip half of Tianxiong's army! Think about it, grandma, holding this magic weapon and wreaking havoc on the battlefield, is not invincible!
Sugar is really powerful.
Liang Chuan himself was thinking about what
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
How can we continue to develop the value of this thing?
Not only as a seasoning, if this thing can be used on the battlefield and made into marching rations or cookies and candies that can quickly restore physical strength on the battlefield, it will definitely play an unexpected role!
Just imagine, most of the sergeants now eat pot helmets, which are unpalatable and inconvenient to carry. But if the people under my command can eat sugar cakes, their stomachs will not be filled immediately! So the morale gained is not even a little bit of time!
This thing is loved by everyone. Although Abdullah doesn’t get much candy in exchange, he will definitely come to him again in the future!
It’s time for me to let Taobao stores control their sales channels. For these Orientalized outsiders overseas, they should adopt different sales strategies and raise the prices. I should also control the sales volume, in case the shipment volume on the market If it is too big, these Persians may not come to buy it for themselves, but go directly to second-hand dealers to sell it. The profits earned by being a dealer are even more impressive!
It's not easy to cut off their path. Outside Qingyuan, I can't speak. If I find someone selling sugar in Qingyuan, I'll make them look good if I catch them!
Workers began to use wheelbarrows to continuously unload the ore on the ship.
While they were being transported, there was a sudden commotion on the dock!
Liang Chuan and Zhaodi led people to the dock to check the situation. It turned out that two crystals were dug out of the iron ore!
The craftsmen and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion looked at this dazzling treasure and marveled at it. Countless people gathered to watch. They immediately presented the crystal to Liang Chuan. Everything on the island belongs to Liang Chuan. Who dares to hide his secrets?
As soon as Liang Chuan saw these two pieces of crystal, he was immediately speechless. This thing is just like glass. When it first came out, the whole world regarded it as a treasure. However, as more and more pieces of crystal were unearthed, people seemed to be interested in this kind of crystal. Ore is feeling aesthetic fatigue. In future generations, will the value of crystal be very high? No?
Just two useless stones!
The craftsmen thought that they had made a contribution, and Liang Chuan would like this treasure very much. Unexpectedly, Liang Chuan only glanced at it twice before stuffing it to Yuchi Tian next to him, and said, "Brother, I don't need this thing. Just take it and look at it." When I returned to Qingyuan, someone wanted it and I sold it!"
The purity of the two crystals is quite high, and people and objects on the opposite side can be seen through the crystals. Yuchitian is not short of money, why would he sell such a treasure?
He put the two crystals in front of his eyes and looked at them again and again, and hissed: "Hey, look at this, it's so fresh. Why do my feet feel bigger when I look at the two gems?"
Yuchi's words reached Liang Chuan's ears, and immediately gave Liang Chuan a huge shock. Yes, crystals are useless, but they can be used to make precious instruments!
An Yisheng and Secretary Huang compare each other every day whether they believe the theories they told or are half-convinced. Why didn't they think that they could use experiments to convince them?
Liang Chuan snatched the two crystals from Yuchitian's hand and said, "Brother, I take back what I said just now. Give me these crystals first. I'll ask Abdullah to bring more in the future to compensate you!" "
"Why are you talking about compensation as a family? The things belong to you, right? There's no use even if I bring them!"
