One of the most uncomfortable things in the Huaihe River Basin during spring and summer is the proliferation of mosquitoes.
However, due to the extremely high output of "wax" in Huaizhong City, Baomao can be distilled, dried, and crushed, supplemented with dried orange peel powder, and various imaginable mosquito repellent spices, and mixed together.
The production is relatively primitive, but the effect is still a little bit...mosquito incense.
As for the essential oils distilled from mint, as well as camphor, etc., there are also certain reserves.
But compared to mosquito coils, the latter is much more expensive.
At present, the overbearing president Mr. Li can only initially meet the needs of the entire harem. In addition to the needs of the wives, only the captain-level officers of the Crocodile people can obtain rations.
There is already a black market for this kind of "light luxury goods" in the big cities throughout the Jianghuai region.
This makes President Li feel that what he is making is not essential oil, but a top-of-the-line Apple mobile phone.
But fortunately, the cost of cracking is much more difficult these days than before President Li traveled through time.
"In this new semester, there is no talk of holding a conference to meet each other, which is really inappropriate."
President Li thought to himself that he was still a principal and all the students were here and he didn't even know them. Was he going a little too far?
People come all the way to study, but in the end they are thrown out to work in vain as hard labor, working day and night without learning any useful skills in leading troops in war.
Thinking about it this way, President Li felt... so damn happy!
"After being busy for so long, it's time to take a break."
Mei Dan is holding Li Lei and coaxing the child to sleep. After all, she is just a young mother. When she holds her child, she always has a childish and inconsistent feeling.
"If I don't work, how will I feed you?"
Li Jie wore a kapok robe and a pair of leather slippers. He walked up to Li Lei carelessly, stretched out his finger and poked the sleeping child's face: "Other people's children are so cute, why are mine so cute?"
Does he look like this?"
"..."
Dan was really unhappy after hearing this. He glared at Li Jie, snorted softly, turned around and left with the child in his arms.
The child is ugly, and the mother just can't bear to be told by others, even if it's the child's father, that's not okay.
Besides, don’t you know why your child is so ugly?
"well……"
With a long sigh, President Li felt both satisfied and disappointed.
"It's nice to look like me. But why do you have to look like me? Isn't it bad to look like me? Isn't it beautiful? Damn..."
While he was cursing and cursing, Li Jie, the president of Dawu International Huaishui Water Company, was in a bad mood. Fortunately, the two children born by Shang Xiaomei were pretty good-looking and seemed to be able to seduce girls with their faces.
"I hope that if I give birth to a daughter in the future, she will never be like me."
At this point, I felt it was inappropriate, "It's better to be like me..."
He used to be Foreman Li, and if he had a daughter like him, the cost of marrying a daughter would be extremely high.
But things are different now. He is President Li. In the future, if he catches any young talent he likes and marries his daughter to him, does he dare to disobey? Does he dare to dislike him? He has to say yes even with tears in his eyes.
"Heheheheheheheh……"
As he thought about it, Li Jie felt happy and his whole body was filled with joy.
Just when he was feeling proud, he heard the voice of a female soldier coming from the door: "Shou Li, Qian Chengwan asked to see you, and he has arrived at the corridor of the road room."
"Huh? Again?"
But you still have to meet. These Qi people in Qianchengyi are very rich. It doesn’t matter whether you give them face or not, you have to give them money and face.
"Tell him I'll be here soon and I'm changing clothes."
"yes!"
The drama of "cutting off one's clogs to welcome each other" has been played before, and it would be a bit boring to play it again. President Li's status is very different now, and there is no need to play a small role again.
The conference hall was built on a high platform. It was newly built. It looked huge, but in fact the construction period was very short. In total, it took less than four months to build a "palace".
The main reason is that a large number of new tools, such as counterweight cranes, pulley blocks, track gantry, etc., are all used in the project.
The first reason for repairing such shabby gadgets is to show off in front of wives. How can you seduce stunning beauties if you don’t have any strength?
The second is to let the engineering team practice their skills. The skills cannot be rusty.
At the door of the conference hall, people from Qianchengyi stood motionless, seemingly waiting quietly for the arrival of the host, but their eyes were looking around.
Even after visiting Huai Shui Bo Mansion many times, everyone in Qiancheng City was still shocked that such a large palace could be built in just a few months. Huai Shui Bo was so powerful that all the princes from all over the world were afraid of it.
Unimaginable.
The more they thought about it, the more officials and merchants in Qiancheng County felt that Li Jie was unfathomable.
In their opinion, if Li Jie had not been the son of King Wu Wei, it would have been impossible for him to receive such treatment!
King Gou Chen of Wu Wei is indeed worthy of being the overlord of his generation, extremely powerful and terrifying...
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen, Shou Li will be here in a moment."
"A hard-working woman and a good woman."
The female soldier nodded slightly and did not stay here. After she left, the people in Qiancheng City finally couldn't hold it back. Although they stood there motionless, they began to quarrel with each other.
"The people employed in Huai Shui Bo Mansion are no different from men."
"When I returned to the Qiancheng Guild Hall last ten days, I took a detour to North Street for some reason, and I discovered something strange."
"oh?"
"There is an official office where women are the main ones, inside and outside, and men are the assistants. I made some inquiries and found out that it is a place where women are responsible for everything."
Unlike other places, Huaizhong City has invested a lot of money in addressing women's issues. Just for menstruation issues, the entire financial subsidy is about half of the education subsidy in Xiangxu.
As long as there is no menopause, the total expenditures of adult women during their menstrual periods will be too much for all the princes of the world, even the hegemonic powers cannot afford to do so.
Li Jie's ability to play like this is also based on more advanced exploitation technology.
A large amount of system construction costs are passed on to the grassroots and other countries and barbarians. The form of this is "to be indifferent to life and death, and do it if you don't accept it."
Behind the seals of the generals of the Twelve Kingdoms are nothing more than warlike beasts in disguise.
After the newly built and strengthened water conservancy projects, the production of textile raw materials has been greatly improved; the improvement of textile machinery has further enhanced the utilization rate of textiles.
Only with the mass production scale of textiles can the total cost be brought down, and then the textiles can be combined with other materials to make various special products, such as menstrual period consumables for women.
As long as adult women of working age can cope with their menstrual periods more "easily", the total labor hours involved in production activities can increase by 70 to 100 hours every month.
The time that was wasted was once again caught up by President Li.
Waste... is shameful.
Therefore, the majority of women compatriots under Huai Shui Bo Mansion are very grateful to Huai Shui Bo.
The merit is immeasurable, the merit is immeasurable.
…
"present!"
With a loud shout, the crocodile guard on duty raised his head and chest, and performed a military salute to Li Jie.
After Li Jie returned the courtesy, the crocodile man didn't look sideways and stood there motionless.
It suddenly exploded like a thunder, which shocked the people in Qianchengyi. A group of people were shocked, and then their minds were clear.
After entering in an orderly manner, Li Jiecai smiled and said: "We are all distinguished guests. Why wait in the corridor? Didn't I have someone arrange tea? Since you are here, you can do whatever you want."
"Thank you Uncle Huai Shui."
The leader of the Qiancheng Yi elders stood up and thanked him, but he did not really agree.
Li Jie can say this, but they themselves can't do it. The etiquette cannot be abolished.
However, they performed their own etiquette, but they did not despise the local etiquette in Huaizhong City. My "ritual" is "ritual", and your "ritual" is also "ritual". There is always a person who can tell whether it is right or wrong.
One day, but at this moment, there is no need to talk about "similarities and differences".
"I wonder what Mr. Gao is doing here?"
The preferential policies and regional sales agents that Qi Ren discussed before have basically been settled. The rest is nothing more than how Qi Ren will supervise the operation after the funds are in place.
Anyway, both parties have reached a consensus and each gets what they need, which is a win-win situation.
President Li was thinking, basically everything the people of Qi want is already available, so what else is there to discuss?
"Gao Wan is here to deal with the Northern Yan warriors."
"Beiyan warrior?"
Li Jie, who looked confused, obviously didn't know who he was talking about.
"When King Wu Wei was alive, he protected the young master who was already on his left and right as a guard."
"Wu Shui?"
Li Jie was stunned, "Are they dead?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The people in Qianchengyi were all speechless, thinking that after all they are from Wu State, why would you curse your fellow villagers like this?
And they are all from King Wu Wei, so they must have some affection no matter what.
Besides, weren't you the one who funded their journey north?
"He's not dead... No, he's still alive."
The older Gao Wan couldn't keep up with Li Jie's brain circuit. He took a deep breath and then continued, "I, Qiancheng Yi, want to annihilate the Rong and Di. However, these beasts are cunning and poisonous. If there is a warrior,
If we follow each other, the chances of winning Qian Cheng Yi will be even greater."
In a word, the people of Qiancheng City are planning to use Wu Shui's group of former guards of the Gusu Palace.
"This...what do you want me to do?"
Li Jie didn't understand that Wu Shui's gang was none of his business. They were busy avenging the young master and were looking for the mastermind behind the scenes.
He sent Jia Gui out before, just to inquire about the news and communicate with the people of Wei.
You act in secret, so others don’t know.
Seeing that President Li was very talkative, Gao Wan felt reassured. With a smile on his face, he bowed sincerely to Li Jie and said, "I heard that among the fierce warriors of the Wu Kingdom, only Uncle Huai Shui is my follower. If Uncle Huai Shui is good at handwriting,
One letter will definitely enable Wu’s warriors to go to Qiancheng City to help.”
Li Jiegang wanted to say that there was no problem, but Gao Wan raised three fingers: "Qiancheng Yi is willing to pay thousands of gold to the warriors!"
Ever since, when President Li said "no problem", he held it back, and a sentence came out from between his teeth: "I... think about it."
