Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 588 Three Pillar Industries
Before Wang Hou crossed over, the devils of the United States were fighting together because of the legacy of slavery, and even involved the founding president of the United States, Mr. Washington.

Washington is really wronged, because he was an active promoter of the abolition of slavery during his lifetime. It can be said that he stood on the same front with black slaves, but only half of his demands for abolition of slavery came from the concept of human rights that everyone is equal. Half of it is that he believes from the bottom of his heart that slavery is an extremely backward and inefficient mode of production, and he even has to spend the output of his own a few acres of land in order to feed his slaves!
Indeed, the production efficiency of slavery is appallingly low, and watching slaves work, you have to be at least close to one-third of the number of slaves in the garrison to detain them, and you have to worry about slaves escaping from time to time, don’t ask Wang Hou knew!Before he tried to implement slavery in the iron and steel center in Ma'anshan, using Wuhuan and Goguryeo as slaves to mine coal and iron ore, and now his iron and steel center has turned into an employment system again.

I have to admit that the employment system still has some effect. Although it is still forced labor, the labor efficiency of Goguryeo prisoners of war and Wuhuan prisoners who have money to take is much higher. This is the same for the Huns, regardless of Huchuquan Some kind of people were found to dig the mines. Anyway, after the hoes and shovels and [-] shi of grain were transported to Jiuyuan, it was useless for Wang Hou to send people to explore the mines. In early June, the first batch of Jiuyuan raw coal was sent to Guihua. city.

Then, the stagnant city came alive again!

Coal is really the black blood of industry!Although I don't know how many red seals will be stamped on Wang Hou's head by later generations of environmental protection organizations, but in the billowing black smoke, the clay dug out from the grassland turned into bricks one by one, and then covered the newborn city of Guihua Layers of red armor.

Guihua City in Ming Dynasty was called Daqing City, because its city walls showed a blue brilliance. Today, Guihua City of Xianbei people can be called Dahong City. In the afterglow of the sun, it is extremely dazzling red.

Although the construction of the city has stagnated, the "hungry" commercial gentry have already started to act, and Ke Bineng was also prepared, and gave Wang Hou 70 fine-wool sheep. Six to seven million fine-wool sheep came, anyway, they were robbed by fighting, and it didn't cost Kebi Neng a penny.For more than a month, the sheared wool has accumulated a thick layer like a snowflake.

Xianbei men are only responsible for grazing, but women can be transferred out. Wang Hou's wool farm can be called a female factory, because most of the people working here are Xianbei women, and a very small number of them still have no ability to herd and fight, and are disgusted. The old man is here to play his spare heat.

The labor organizations of later generations will also have to put a red stamp on Wang Hou's forehead. Under the stove made of mud, the red charcoal fire is also emitting light smoke. The wool that had been piled up for more than a month was boiled away, and the excess grease, garbage, sundries, etc. were boiled down layer by layer, resisting the smell and smell of boiled wool, which was regarded as a burden by every tribe The old man was stirring in the pot with a big stick, and the black wool began to turn white.

These forcibly whitened wool were transported by these elderly laborers to a large pile of felt bags temporarily built in the north of Guihua City. At this end is a table for plucking cotton, which is held by a professional Han Chinese plucking cotton worker. A big bow flicked the boiled wool until it became fluffy. A few Xianbei women sat cross-legged in the felt bag, spinning the spinning wheel with one hand, and pulling Suoding with the other, inch by inch, from the pile of boiled and fluffy wool. Inside, pull out the slender but tough wool.

Originally, the wool was worthless, and even the farmers would not care about it after the sheep shed in summer, but now, it has become soft and white threads, dyed and spun into cloth, that is wool!The woolen face coat and windbreaker of the later generations are made of this stuff!

In other words, what was originally thrown away as garbage, now Wang Hou created money out of thin air.

On the other side, the milk powder factory, a pillar industry planned by Wang Hou, also started production simultaneously.

In the past, nomads milked cows for only one or two days at a time, and then processed them into dairy products at one go. In fact, many of the herds were not milked at all. Now, these dairy products are also used by Wang Hou.

The ministries next to each other are complaining a lot, because early in the morning, the messengers from Guihua City will drive the carts to scatter, and each household must pay two buckets of goat milk and two buckets of milk. The workload of customers has increased a lot.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the couriers responsible for the collection returned to the milk powder farm in the west of Guihua City.

Here, hundreds of large black pots are also put on the stove, and coal fire is burning under the stove, but it is different from directly adding coal to the stove, and how long it can burn for a long time. It needs to be burned continuously, and it can’t be fired hundreds of degrees at a time, and the pot will be burned red, so that the milk and goat milk will be burnt. Several old masters transferred from the bone china kiln are responsible for guiding the fire. Sixty to seventy degrees, but still not boiling, and then add white sugar imported from Daocheng, and stir with a big stick.

This is really tiring work. It takes a full day to burn until the evening. The milk and goat milk at the bottom of the pot are thick enough to become solid toffee. At this time, it can be filled and placed in a temporary The clay kang is dried on the kang, and what comes out are hard, sweet milk lumps.

However, these milk cubes are hard and large, so they are still not suitable for eating or carrying directly. The milk cubes that have been made have to be taken outside with a large stone mill to grind them, and finally ground into flour. Wang Houyao’s milk powder is ready. .

Although the output is a bit small, more than 1 barrels of milk and goat milk can be collected in a day, and more than 100 stones of milk powder can be produced in the end, which is only more than 3 stones a year. However, this thing is a high-calorie food, and one stone of milk powder has enough protein calories It is equivalent to ten stones of wheat. Although it is impossible to eat this stuff every day, it is enough for military rations!
Back then, Genghis Khan's army brought this kind of milk powder military rations and hit the Danube in one breath!Whether it is a merchant or a marcher, this thing is an excellent product.

In other words, you can sell it to Mr. Cao and earn a lot of money from your father-in-law!

But capitalists will always have their own troubles. Watching the three pillar industries in Guihua City fully spread out, squatting on the city tower while basking in the sunset and grilling lamb chops, Wang Hou's old face can't stop twitching.

Now his mind is still echoing what Fu Luohan said a few days ago.

Kebi can!Branch origin, wolf king also!It is impossible for him to distribute rights to others!Cooperating with the general is tantamount to seeking skins from wolves!

But this time, he had fought with Ke Bi Neng, seeing that there was coal and bricks, Ke Bineng seemed to have a high heart, and asked Wang Hou to build him a Shanyu mansion in the center of the city, with the building to stabilize his power.

But Wang Hou rejected it!Now it is time for Guihua City to make profits, the most urgent thing is not to show off, but to take out the first real money to stabilize the morale of the army!

In the end, Ke Bineng was overwhelmed by Wang Hou's opinion. The famous leader of Xianbei didn't seem so unkind!
Just when Wang Hou was in a trance, a burst of camel bells jingled suddenly, and under the setting sun, an extremely huge caravan swayed towards him, causing Wang Hou to raise his head suddenly, and looked down the city. Bead couldn't help staring round.

He indeed initiated a caravan from Liaodong to drive here. The problem is that this large caravan of 2000 people, Timo's, came from the west!

Hell?
