Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 560
For a long time in European history, the saltpeter that the British, the French, and the Germans relied on to produce gunpowder was all made by scraping the nitrate soil from the town dung piles, and then boiling nitrate sulfur. If the enemies of the British Empire knew, they would Every shot, every shot, was contributed by the hard work of the people of London, squatting and soaking. It is estimated that morale will be a few levels lower.

It was not until the British acquired the saltpeter mines in Morocco and India that this ratio dropped slightly.

In the Ming Dynasty, which was known for firearms, most of the gunpowder and nitrate came from this way. Wang Hou didn’t have nitrate ore in his hands, so he had to rely on the asses of the people under his control to produce saltpeter in groups. This is really inefficient and time-consuming. It's just too much.

Until later, he suddenly slapped his forehead, pigs can pull more than humans!
And compared to the scattered village public toilets that transport Yexiang, gather a few large pig farms, and transport the pig manure to one place for fermentation every day, you can stably make nitrate, and then sell the pigs to sell pork, and the pigs are composted. You can make money anyway, rounding up to hundreds of millions.

The only difficulty is that it is a bit difficult to collect pig feed. For this reason, Wang Hou even had to order ten Qingzhou sea-going ships specially for him to go to Qingxu to buy wheat bran, aged grain, soybean meal, skin and so on.

This bamboo tube was placed in the dung pile for three days, and about half a catty of nitrate could be collected. After more than half a year, the gunpowder produced by the Jinzhou Armory can also be several tons, which is equivalent to the sum of the gunpowder produced by Wang Hou over the years.

Finally, it softened without a few shots, and met the "blank eyes" thrown by the enemy's "resentment"!Holding the dirty bamboo tube, Wang Hou opened his mouth in joy.

However, Zhen Timo’s is called extreme joy begets sorrow. He is waiting happily for Zhuge Ying to come back, knocks this violent girl unconscious with a ton of gunpowder, and then pulls two cannons, one hits the person and the other sounds, and the muskets come in two rows. A row, a row of killing the enemy, a row of nouveau riche living as fireworks in the sky, suddenly a series of shouts came from behind.

"State Muzhou Muzhou Muzhou Mu!"

Hey, he was hit on the lower back, his feet lost his balance, and Wang Hou was once again stuck in pig manure.

The sleeves were burnt yellow for the second time, and the "fragrance" smelt the nostrils. Seeing Wang Hou, who was so lip-smacking, being pulled out by the sleeves by the soldiers, the familiar fat pig farmer had a sad face, and hurriedly followed a rice cake Lie on the ground like that.

"Changshi Li Fu sent someone to invite, and Xianbei came to invite people, and they have already arrived in Jinzhou Prefecture. Li Changshi felt that it was necessary to ask the state shepherd to see him!"

"come here!"

Dragging his heavy sleeves and hooking his fingers, Wang Hou suddenly showed a "warm" smile.

"Zhou Mu, you order!"

Nodding and bowing, the number one pig farmer came to Wang Hou with a smiling face. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhoumu's expression turned cold, and he slammed his big foot on his fat buttocks. up.

Last year and this year's vendetta were avenged together, and he directly pulled his belt and threw the gorgeous official robe on the ground. The refreshed Wang Hou felt comfortable for a moment, and then with a mournful face, he ordered: "Send someone back to the manor immediately!" Inform Madam, boil water!"

"Another roll of cloth will be brought, and I will cover my face!"

…………

In the welcome of his girl, Leer, who was full of contempt, and Cao Hongjie, Zhenmi, Lu Ji and the three girls who laughed like goblins together, he was thrown into the bathtub for a while, and Wang Zhenbei finally regained his dog-like appearance. Virtuous, like a spring breeze, went to the meeting room on the fourth floor to meet the "foreign guests".

When people are unlucky, drinking cold water can stuff their teeth, but when people are lucky, they also pick up gold ingots one by one.

At this time when he was worried about how to collude with Xianbei to plot against Tian Yu, Li Fu's adopted son last year, Li Hu, who vowed to go to Xiqiang to snatch fine wool sheep for him with his fists hanging down his heart, came back!

And he not only used the money to buy [-] sheep to earn back [-] fine-wool sheep, but it is said that he also brought back two big figures from Xianbei who came to see him on their own initiative. Here comes the drinking nannies!Missing her family, the child's uncle is here!

"My subordinate pays homage to the lord! This subordinate fulfilled his mission and brought back the fine-wool sheep that the lord wants from Xiqiang!"

"Furthermore, these two Xianbei lords admire the lord's literary and martial arts, and they gave great help to his subordinates on the way to snatch the sheep from the Xiqiang people, and they came to meet the lord with their subordinates!"

Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed heavily in excitement, and Li Hu slapped the two people sitting on Wang Hou's hospitality sofa behind him with one stroke.

The people from Xianbei are actually a man and a woman. Not to mention, they really made Wang Hou believe in those handsome Xianbei oppas in the idol dramas of the Northern and Southern Dynasties!Although the man was dressed very plainly, just like the leather robes and hats of ordinary shepherds and nobles, his clothes were neatly arranged, the braids on his head were also combed cleanly, and more importantly, a The face is quite handsome, and has the temperament of those mixed-race tough guys with alien characteristics.

This made Wang Hou really depressed. How could someone be more handsome than him?
The woman's appearance is also exceptional, and she also has a mixed-race beauty. More importantly, she is dressed much more gorgeously than the man. She is wearing a grassland-style long skirt woven with silk from the Han Dynasty, and various totem patterns are embroidered on it. It looks mysterious and extraordinary, with three necklaces of different sizes hanging on the towering chest, densely covered with wolf teeth, animal bones, gems, turquoise and gold and silver utensils.

Especially her hair, gorgeously embellished with gemstones and turquoise, at the same time, the left side is in a round bun, and the right side is inserted into a wooden oval hairpin and braided into a curved shape, just like the sun and the moon.

Both of them can speak fluent Mandarin Chinese, and they call Wang Hou by different names.

"Human outside the Great Wall pays respects to General Zhenbei!"

"The people of Changshengtian pay homage to the Prophet of Eternal Fire!"

Uh, when did I have this title?

He was confused, but Wang Hou stretched out his hand not to slap the smiling face, he stretched out his hand to help the two of them up with a smile, and asked first with a smile.

"I am ashamed to live in Liaodong. I don't know much about the heroes on the grassland. I don't know where the two of you are from? Ashamed and ashamed!"

"General Zhenbei is Lord Tianhan. It is reasonable for us barbarians not to know. Your lord is humble!"

Still so polite, the simple and handsome Xianbei guy almost caught up with the scholar-bureaucrats in the Central Plains, so he introduced Wang Hou gracefully.

"This is my great Xianbei witch, the shaman Salun Zhuoya sent by Changshengtian to care for our Xianbei people!"

"And I'm from a lowly background, and I'm just a member of the Western Xianbei Branch, and my name is Ke Bineng!"

"Forehead……"

Wang Hou's welcoming face, which was full of smiles, suddenly froze there, and even his eyes couldn't help bursting out with a strong murderous intent for a moment, and he finally suppressed it.

"You are... Ke Bineng, the leader of the Western Xianbei!"
