Jin Shengman of Silla returned home with great shock, and then strongly advocated trading a large amount of weapons and equipment in Liaodong.

She was stimulated. Mingguang armor and heavy armored infantry, this hit her deeply. Such a set of equipment, looking at it, there was not much in the entire Silla, but Zou Yu used it as a guard. According to her

There are definitely many thoughts that I have not seen.

After returning to China, he persuaded his cousin Queen Kinderman of Silla to purchase weapons from the Central Plains to strengthen herself. Considering that Silla was an enemy on both sides, and Jin Yuxin also agreed, Silla used food, cloth, gold, silver and jewels in exchange for

Fifty thousand swords and spears, ten thousand leather armors.

On the Goguryeo side, they also spent a lot of money. Not only did they replace the steel swords they had promised in advance, but they also had leather armor and ordinary swords and guns. Although there will be a war with Goguryeo sooner or later, Zou Yu is not worried about this. What he wants most now is to delay

As long as he develops for a few years, he has the confidence to deal with any enemy.

When the mutual trade opened, Zhong Zijin was the first to take action. He exchanged a lot of silk, tea, and porcelain from the Central Plains and shipped them back to change hands.

With some small profits, you can attract the Goguryeo family to take action, so naturally you want it, especially porcelain. You can exchange it at will, even if the price is lower, it doesn't matter.

After this transaction, the four counties of Beisha have enough food and materials to recruit civilians to carry out some engineering development in the four counties without the need for support from Liaodong and other places.

Although the silk from the Central Plains is valuable, in Zou Yu's opinion, it is not as useful as ordinary cloth. At least it can meet the needs of the ruler this year.

The largest output of cloth must be in the south of the Yangtze River and Shuzhong? With the ongoing wars, the output is already small? Plus, the distance is long? If it can be transported to the north, the quantity will not be large, and the price is not cheap. Can it be supplemented from Goguryeo? Silla

? Of course it’s a good thing.

The entire force is developing in full swing, life is moving forward, and the people are very motivated. Burning bricks? Burning tiles and building new houses? Because they are improving their own homes without government supervision? No one is lazy.

Although there is no cement, using lime and clay to build a small building with three floors? Is there still no problem? Adding lime to the inside of the wall has another advantage, that is, there are very few insects.

In these years, every summer, bricks and tiles were made to be dried, fired in autumn and winter, and then houses were built. This pattern was basically uninterrupted under Zou Yu's rule.

From Buyeo City to Liaodong City, most houses have been renovated. I believe that in a few years, small blue-tiled houses will become popular. Of course, there are no prefabricated boards, and the attics are made of wooden boards.

Speaking of bugs, this is what Zou Yu hates the most, especially mosquitoes. Thanks to the good air environment, there are so many mosquitoes. Throughout the summer, during the day, there were small mosquitoes the size of sesame seeds, and in the evening, long-legged mosquitoes appeared.

It was really a dance of dragonflies and mosquitoes, densely packed, flying around, and you could hear the buzzing sound at any time.

Many people, in the evening, will light a fire with dry grass, then put wet branches on it, wait until the smoke rises, and then drive the smoke closer to the house.

Usually, mint leaves, camphor branches, pitcher plants and other plants that can repel mosquitoes are added here. There are some of these plants in ordinary people's homes, and they are usually hung on the walls, on both sides of the door, and under the windows.

.

Because the smell of these plants is not liked by mosquitoes, as well as snakes and rats. You must know that in this era, there are quite a few people bitten to death by snakes every year. This is one of the reasons why people drink realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival.

.

Realgar wine can repel insects and kill internal parasites. People do not know this and mistakenly believe that realgar wine can detoxify. Of course, more people bury some realgar in front of and behind their houses.

Spreading lime and realgar on the foundation is for the same reason, but it will definitely have no effect after a long time, so if possible, it must be re-buried every year. After all, this is what working people have summed up over thousands of years.

life experience.

What Zou Yu thought of was mosquito coils and toilet water. Mosquito coils were easier to handle. When Zou Yu was a child, the old man in his family made incense to worship his ancestors. He had seen it before. He only needed to replace it with plants that repel mosquitoes.

He also knew a lot of plants that could repel mosquitoes. The most popular ones and the best ones to collect were of course mugwort, camphor tree, orange peel, millet flower, etc.

Of course, these can only repel mosquitoes. To kill mosquitoes, you still need realgar, but realgar is highly toxic, so the amount must be controlled.

Let people gather mugwort and cut down camphor trees, dry them in the sun, grind them into fine powder, add a little bit of realgar, and then use rosin as a binder. After boiling, use a thin bamboo stick to evenly wrap it in a layer.

, a mosquito coil and you're done.

In order to make the taste better, Zou Yu specially added mint, which he used at home, and also added sandalwood, orange peel, etc. to create mint, sandalwood, orange, osmanthus and other flavors.

After making it, the effect is very good. A long mosquito-repellent incense can burn for more than an hour, ensuring that there are no mosquitoes for most of the night. If you sleep a little later, you can have a peaceful night with one stick.

Making mosquito coils is of course not only for daily use, but also for garrison and marching operations.

The garrison at the border is a remote area and there are not many mosquito repellent materials available. Also during the march, we are in the wild and the army is stationed. Mosquitoes are the most annoying thing. Many times, it makes people unable to sleep.

Zou Yu also knew that mosquitoes can transmit diseases, and repelling mosquitoes can also reduce the chance of soldiers getting sick, so why not do it.

Generally, marching logistics take away realgar to repel mosquitoes and venomous snakes, but after all, they are in the minority and can be used by some of the main forces, which is already very good. Most of the time, only generals are eligible to enjoy it.

Mosquito incense is different. It is easy to carry and simple to make. It can be said that the cost is very low and it can be carried in large quantities.

Therefore, Zou Yu specially made two kinds of mosquito repellent incense for military and civilian use. The civilian one has various fragrances; as for the military one, not only the realgar is added, but mint and honeysuckle must also be added.

Mint refreshes the mind, honeysuckle prevents colds and miasma, and the main material mugwort has the effect of keeping good things away from evil, which can reduce the chance of soldiers getting sick and reduce non-combat losses.

As soon as any new thing appears, the first consideration is to apply it to the army. As soon as the mosquito-repellent incense was successfully trial-produced, military supplies were immediately produced on a large scale. Once it was released, it received praise from the soldiers, especially when they knew that it was their prime minister who personally

They were even more moved by what he invented for them. Zou Yu's reputation among the soldiers rose to a higher level, and almost all of his earliest followers became die-hard loyalists.
