Zhao Kang's words made the surrounding county residents feel at ease.
The sky has not changed yet!
Now the county government office in Yuanjiang County has been demolished long ago, and Gao Quan and others spent money to build a large house for Zhao Kang.
Not long after Zhao Kang sat down, Yang Gan, who had been busy in Yuanjiang County during this period, rushed over immediately.
"National Division!"
Zhao Kang smiled and asked him to sit down, "Do you know everything?"
Yang Qian nodded quickly, "My father has already written to inform my subordinates before."
"That's good, you can do whatever you need to do and don't worry about me. I'll let someone notify you when necessary."
"Yang Qian understands."
Zhao Kang then asked "How many cannons are there in the factory today?"
"Ten gates." Yang Qian replied.
Since the technology of casting cannons matured, cannon casting factories were established all over the Qian Kingdom, and Yuanjiang County was just one of them.
The reason why Qian Country's finances are so tight now is that 80% of the money flows into these factories.
Zhao Kang asked "Where are other places?"
"Youzhou has twelve gates, Qingzhou has only six gates, and Jiangzhou has eight gates. Counting those brought back by the Imperial Army after the battle, the number exceeds fifty."
Yang Gan said with some helplessness, "Now we have caught up with the speed of casting cannons, but we have no money, so we can only slow down the progress."
"There will always be money. Make as much money as you can for the time being." Zhao Kang comforted him and did not put pressure on the other party.
In addition to casting cannons, there are also cannonballs in the factory, which are also expensive things.
Otherwise, there would be no saying that a gun goes off and gold is worth ten thousand taels.
"Please rest assured, Imperial Master, Yang Qian will never let you down and His Majesty's high expectations!"
After meeting Zhao Kang, Yang Qian left. The factory is not far from Yuanjiang County.
But not close.
"How much grain is there in the granary now? How much money is left on the books?" Zhao Kang asked Gao Quan.
Gao Quan said, "There is quite a lot of food in the warehouse, with 80,000 shi on hand, and there are still 100,000 taels of silver available on the books."
"That's enough. You go and summon the people in the county who know how to make wine, and then mix a thousand kilograms of rice from the warehouse."
Zhang Long asked curiously, "Sir, do you want to make wine?"
He is also a drunkard.
Zhao Kang laughed, "That's right. I plan to purify some alcohol. As for wine, I will have plenty of good wine for you to drink in the future."
Zhang Long was happy, "This feeling is great."
The two of them went about doing the things Zhao Kang told them. Ye Hongxue, who had been silent until now, asked, "What is alcohol?"
"You can understand it as a higher-alcohol wine than the Sanliangye and Taizi wine I gave you before. I guess even that girl Gongsun Yunxiu would get drunk after just one pound of it."
Zhao Kang said with some uncertainty.
In fact, Gongsun Yunxiu's girl was beyond his imagination. During this period, he had doubted whether the dean of the academy had the blood of a fighting nation.
Otherwise, how could ordinary people drink so much liquor and still look like normal people?
Ye Hongxue became interested: "You are already making two kinds of good wine, why do you still need to make this alcohol?"
Zhao Kang crossed his legs and said, "Well, this is for disinfection and sterilization, that is, to treat wounds."
“Can alcohol heal injuries?”
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "Of course, you can get medical alcohol by mixing alcohol and distilled water in a ratio of one to three."
"I will lead people to fight
We discovered during the war that although the military doctors in the army have some kind of golden sore medicine, they are still inferior to medical alcohol in terms of disinfection."
"This resulted in some soldiers who were apparently just stabbed with non-fatal injuries. Eventually, due to the influence of time and environmental factors, their wounds fester and become infected with germs, and they eventually died."
"If alcohol is available, such casualties can be reduced. In the final analysis, it is Lin Erniu and his group who asked them to study penicillin, but ended up going to get poison."
"With penicillin, it would be even more different. I dare say that the casualty rate of soldiers can be reduced by at least 30% or even higher!"
Ye Hongxue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, then she heard Zhao Kang sigh again, "There is no other way. Since we can't get penicillin for the time being, we have to get alcohol first. Besides medical use, this alcohol has another function.
That is used to make perfume."
"Perfume? What is that?" Ye Hongxue turned into a curious baby at this moment.
Zhao Kang clicked his tongue, "That's a good thing. The cost is low, the price is high, and the production is simple. It's perfect for selling to rich people. This perfume can make people's bodies smell after being applied to them."
When Ye Hongxue heard what he said, she said indifferently, "Isn't that just the same as aromatherapy? What's so great about that."
"Fool, you don't understand this. Aromatherapy pouches and other things lose their smell in an hour or two, but my perfume will smell good for most of the day after just a few dabs of it."
"What's the use of this?"
Zhao Kang chuckled and said, "Those wealthy ladies scatter flower petals every time they take a bath, and those wealthy family members who claim to have elegant tastes bathe and burn incense whenever they go out. If you sell this thing to them, how can they not buy it?"
"It seems to make some sense." Ye Hongxue thought and nodded.
She used to have a very high status in Jingguo. She could be said to be a noble. Naturally, she knew how bad those rich people were.
Hearing what Zhao Kang said now, he couldn't help but admire him. Why did this guy have so many weird things in his mind?
Zhao Kang sighed as he spoke, "The most profitable money in the world is women's money, eh?"
His eyes lit up, and Ye Hongxue asked, "What are you thinking about again?"
But he saw Zhao Kang just staring straight at his chest, and the smile on his lips looked so lustful. If it weren't for his man Ye Hongxue, he would have wanted to slap him away.
At this moment, she couldn't help but blush, "It's broad daylight, what are you looking at?"
Zhao Kang "I thought of a good thing, which will definitely drive thousands of women crazy in the future."
"What good stuff?" Ye Hongxue's interest was aroused.
"A good thing that can help you make this place bigger!" Zhao Kang patted his thigh, wondering why he had never thought of doing this before!
Seeing the direction Zhao Kang was pointing, Ye Hongxue couldn't help crying or laughing, and said angrily, "Isn't this natural? Can it get bigger?"
"You don't understand. Let me tell you, the book says this thing can be rubbed to make it bigger. Come and let me help you make it bigger..."
"Which book taught you this!"
Ye Hongxue was so angry that she kicked Zhao Kang out.
Patting his butt and getting up, Mr. Zhao said a little aggrievedly, "It's not like I haven't touched her before. Besides, Linglong already rubbed it that day. What's wrong with me rubbing it now? I'm not as comfortable as her."
"go to hell!"
The door of the mansion was kicked open, and the people on the street didn't know what was going on when they saw Mr. Zhao running in panic, followed by a woman chasing him out carrying a chair.
