    Ji Xin ran away as fast as a rabbit.  This boy is usually very talkative, but when he meets a married man, he will pull him down, and he will run away after being defeated by a few words.  The master's father twirled his beard and laughed. This boy had caused him a lot of trouble. A few years ago, he would have picked him up and punished him with a black nose and a swollen face. After more than two years of training, he became much calmer. He also wanted to thank Marquis Pingyang for that.  Wake up.  Cao Shi didn't have as many ideas as he did, and asked some more questions about Pingyang Garment Factory, thinking about it.  Originally, he didn¡¯t think highly of Pingyang Garment Factory. He didn¡¯t understand textiles and wasn¡¯t interested in studying it. It was only because his wife Liu Huan liked to play with women¡¯s red that he mentioned it casually.  When he opened a garment shop, he teased that the business might close after a month. Unexpectedly, instead of closing, the business grew and grew, so big that even he was frightened.  He looked through the account books of Pingyang Garment Factory, and the numbers on it were really unusually high. Although it was not as good as the daily income of 100 gold during the peak period, at least the daily gross profit was not less than 10 jins of gold, equivalent to 200 gold coins.  The big business that monopolizes 36 million people in the world is so terrifying. The daily profit is equivalent to the income of three days of the ironware workshop. You must know that Cao Shi's ironware workshop is a famous brand in the world, and no one has successfully copied it yet.  Rust iron technology, let alone the unique technology of making medium carbon steel, will be unmatched by anyone for at least several decades.  After several years of development, the production scale of Pingyang Hou Mansion¡¯s ironware workshop has doubled several times, and institutionalized production standards have been established, truly realizing the division of labor and collaboration assembly line production model of the Qin Empire¡¯s weapons production.  Whether it is high-end medium-carbon steel products, mid-range stainless steel products, or local pig iron equipment, they all have a considerable cost advantage. This advantage cannot be made up in ten or eight years, but is the transformation from small workshops to large factories. The cost  is lowered and the yield rate is improved.  The iron workshop cannot compete with the clothing workshop, and the other businesses combined are not as good as one iron workshop. There are hundreds of paper mills around Chang'an. In the end, the Empress Dowager, who cared about the environment, ordered them all to move out of Chang'an.  Even this cannot affect the papermaking profits becoming increasingly thin.  From the most profitable business at the beginning, it has been reduced to less than the profit of the printing shop. All these businesses are for nothing even if they are added up.  This shows how terrible Pingyang Garment Factory is.  There is still no trace of Shaofu¡¯s clothing workshop.  Han Anguo had to consciously suppress the Shaofu's construction activities due to frequent rain and snow in winter and severe cold weather.  Even the Taixue City in Chang'an was temporarily suspended.  Therefore, Pingyang Garment Factory will still maintain its monopoly position for at least a year.  Cao Shi was not convinced. A big man was not as good at doing business as a woman. If we wanted to make a serious calculation, he was the most capable.  The 800 billion yuan worth of gold and silver lying in the treasury of the Shaofu alone is an incredible figure. At least there is no need to worry about the gold and silver flowing to Dawan in the future, flooding the country, and being minted into currency by the Dawan people for circulation.  This contribution is a great achievement in any dynasty. The emperor knows that his contribution is very great. The Shaofu's annual income of 13 billion is also his contribution. He can increase revenue and reduce expenditure so well that he can be called a financial expert rarely seen in hundreds of years.  , the emperor has praised him countless times. Without that credit, he would not have been able to sit in the Shaofu and defeat so many ministers.  Thinking of this, Cao Shi felt much more relaxed. At least his brother was doing better than his wife. If he was given a suitable business, he would definitely earn more than his wife.  When I walked halfway up, I saw the boy from Sun Qi's family playing with his younger siblings by the flower bed.  "Sun Yi! Come here." "Oh!" The little boy wiped his nose and ran over with a small lantern: "Brother Junhou, what do you want from me?" "Where is your dad?" "My dad and the guy next door.  Uncle Wang went to compete with swords. " "Oh, you mean Wang Meng, right? By the way, why is Uncle Wang next door to you, not Uncle Li or Uncle Zhang?" Sun Yi shook his head and looked confused.  "Okay, can you tell me the names of your younger brothers and sisters?" "Oh! They are children entrusted by my mother's relatives. One is called Li Yannian and the other is Li Wangyou. They are both over two years old this year. Please call them brother Junhou.  " Sun Yi held the two children and said in a sweet voice: "You guys go and play, I will go for a walk. " "Oh! Goodbye, Brother Junhou!  Yi took his younger siblings and waved his hands and walked away.  The master's father came over and said: "Don't you care about the etiquette faults of young children?" "You mean to call me brother, right? Why bother with children's words? It's too tiring to live like that." "That's right, I'm too worried.  Yes." A smile appeared on Master Yan's face.  ? ?More than six thousand miles away, in an unknown oasis in Shule Kingdom, a thousand Huns' cavalry camped here to rest.  In another oasis a few miles away, there is also a thousand-man Wusun cavalry. They are the elites sent by Wusun Kunmo Liejiaomi. They once participated in the operation to intercept the caravan. Unfortunately, they were intercepted by the well-prepared caravan.  They were repelled. They were also one of the witnesses who witnessed the strength of the caravan. They were the best choices as guides and servants.  The leader of the Wusun cavalry is the arrogant and brave second son Dalu. He sits in the Huns camp and sings Wusun folk songs loudly. If the Huns were not serious and indifferent, he would definitely take away the two soldiers he carried from the oasis.  A woman called over to play together.  After singing a ridiculous song, Dalu laughed loudly: "Is the Batu Sen Qianqi Commander still worried about that little fish? My father sent me to personally lead the Qianqiu to kill with one strike.  Capture them, don¡¯t worry. I am very familiar with this area. I have wandered around the country of Dawan several times before. The Dawan people are good at defending the city. We Wusun people can¡¯t do anything to them, but it is absolutely easy to force them to hand over the caravan. Dawan people are good at defending the city.  The king dare not confront our great Huns." A stream of white air came out of Batu Sen's nostrils. Everything in the cold oasis was dead, and even the river was frozen. He didn't like this braggadocious man. He might be brave.  Feifan, however, took the opposite path. He would brag about his abilities. If it weren't for King Wusun's arrogance and high status, he would definitely chop off this noisy guy's head.  "The intelligence report said that they stayed in Ershi City for a long time, so we will send troops to attack Ershi City tomorrow" Dalu said happily: "Hey! Don't worry! Your horses have been tired all winter and can't stand it anymore.  They won't be able to regain their strength if they don't rest for half a year. Besides, they can't escape in such a cold weather anyway. It's hard for us to go out once. It won't be a loss if we don't go to Shule country. We won't go again until spring comes.  "It's too late." The Hun king's cavalry looked forward to it. A thousand people chased them for thousands of miles from spring to winter in search of traces. Now they are exhausted and many people are still worried about their horses losing weight, braving the wind, snow and wind.  Yan Han went straight to Ershi City to capture the caravan. It was hard to say. If the horses died suddenly from exhaustion, the thousand cavalrymen in the royal tent would be left alone outside. Without their horses, they would surely die.  Batusun did not dare to bear such a big loss, so he broke off the dead branches and threw them into the blazing bonfire. He said in a muffled voice: "Prince Wusun's kindness is hard to refuse, so I just say thank you."?¡­  ¡­ There has been a lot of rain and snow this year. It has been raining non-stop since the beginning of winter. News of house collapse has spread from all over Guanzhong. Fortunately, one-third of the houses in Guanzhong have been renovated. No matter how heavy the snowstorm is, it cannot destroy the houses.  collapse.  There is no peace in the capital. There are warnings for snow disaster relief almost every day. The Northern and Southern Armies are in charge of the north and south of Guanzhong, and the left and right internal forces are in charge of the left and right sides of Guanzhong. They patrol day and night to prevent snow disasters and collapses, but there are still houses collapsing and causing injuries.  Dead man incident.  Due to the impact of heavy snowstorms, the snow was more than half a meter deep in more than a month.  The training of 5,000 Yulin Cavalry and 8,000 new recruits was also forced to stop. It was difficult to even walk outdoors in such thick snow, let alone train.  Cao Shi led 13,000 people to carry shovels and brooms, and carried out a large-scale snow sweeping. The road from the south of Chang'an City to the camp of the Confederate Army was cleared. The Confederate Army also swept the road from the camp to the south gate of Chang'an.  Come out, there is no Chidao connecting it, and supplies cannot be transported.  The Confederate Army Camp.  Zhuang Qingzhai held the mutton soup and blew a breath of hot air. The red spicy dogwood, green and yellow mustard, mutton fat floating on the soup, and thinly sliced ??mutton. Drinking a bowl of fragrant mutton soup warmed your whole body.  It was so delicious that everyone from the emperor in the Weiyang Palace to the common people liked to drink it, and Zhuang Qingzhai couldn't put it down.  "Dog sledding? It's a good idea, but we don't have suitable dogs." "It's hard to find dogs? Eat less dog meat and everything will come. Find more dogs that are strong and cold-resistant, and a few can pull them.  If there are no heavy objects, just use a dozen or twenty sleds to pull them. The sled is not difficult. I will draw a sketch for you. " Cao Shi took a charcoal pencil and drew on the paper, two straight ones.  The front section of the round stick is curved and upturned, with a load-bearing bracket structure on top. The main parts are covered with iron sheets to enhance the stability. It looks so simple.  Zhuang Qingzhai looked left and right, confused: "Is this thing really useful?" "It is. I have made several sleds. I came here on a sled just now, but I was cleaning up the accumulated sleds while walking.  On the snowy road, just use a horse-drawn sleigh." The two walked out of the military camp and saw the crowds. Thousands of people in the military camp were surrounding the open space, watching the new things with great interest.  In the middle of the clearing, two army horses were dragging the sled in a circle. Two Confederate soldiers stood on the sled, waving their reins like driving chariots to adjust the direction.After a while, the sleigh stopped and replaced other Confederate soldiers to have fun. Everyone had a great time.  Zhuang Qingzhai's eyes almost popped out of his head. He pointed at the low strange tool and said, "Is this the sled you built? Can it be pulled by dogs or horses?" "Yes, it can be done." "Great! It's such a great thing.  What a great thing! The cost of transporting supplies in winter can be reduced several times. I will ask your Majesty for your credit." "No! It's best not to go." Zhuang Qingzhai was stunned and said: "Why?  " "The civilian significance is just one aspect. Didn't you find its military significance? " "Do you mean" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! "
