Next, under the arrangement of Wang Jian, Bai Zhong became familiar with everything about Lantian Camp.

The group of Korean soldiers who surrendered with Ning Teng now has more than 50,000 people left, and they were merged into the Lantian camp. Wang Jian gave these 50,000 people to Bai Zhong, not only in charge of the Iron Eagle Warriors, but also the

A group of surrendering soldiers.

Bai Zhong took these people and arranged them near the iron eagle warriors' camp, intending to train them into low-end versions of the iron eagle warriors.

It was not until evening that Bai Zhong left the military camp and went home.

"Brother, did you bully Aunt Qiu last night?"

As soon as Bai Zhong walked in, he heard Bai Lan running over to question.

Zhou Yu was embarrassed to say what he had done last night, and it was really painful, and it was difficult to even walk. He said softly: "Lan'er, my beloved did not bully me."

Bai Zhong felt very embarrassed and gently tapped Bai Lan's smooth forehead: "I know Yu'er is thinking wildly, so don't worry about her."

Seeing that they didn't seem to have any conflicts, Bai Lan believed that it wasn't bullying.

One night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, when Bai Zhong was about to go out, he saw Wu Luo coming to visit him.

"Wu Zhuangshi, I was just going to go to the ranch to find you."

Bai Zhong said.

Wu Luo smiled and said: "I also have something I want to talk to General Bai. How about we go to the ranch?"

"I think so too!"

Bai Zhong agreed.

The two soon returned to the ranch.

Wu Luo first took Bai Zhong to a cave dwelling. As soon as he approached, he felt a heat wave coming towards him. There were many people here who were busy melting sand, and there were a lot of broken glass on the ground.

"General Bai, we made the colored glaze, but its purity is not as good as yours."

Wu Ruo picked up a broken cup lying nearby and said, "You see, we can't make the glass take shape."

Bai Zhong took the broken cup. The workmanship was indeed poor, the surface was yellow and there were impurities.

Bai Zhong has already told them everything he knows about how to make glass. Wu Luo's current technology is not up to par and he wants to ask for help, but he doesn't know how to explain it to them.

"What did you use to burn the kiln?"

Bai Zhong thought for a long time and could only ask this question.

Wuluo pointed to the kiln and said, "Use firewood and charcoal."

Bai Zhong said: "Is the temperature not enough?"

"What's the temperature?"

Wu Luo asked without understanding.

Bai Zhong explained: "It's just that it's not hot enough in the kiln. Does Wu Zhuang know about something called coal? It's dug out from the soil or from the mountains. It's black and can burn like charcoal, and it will emit an unpleasant smell.

odor."

Freshly dug coal without treatment will produce thick smoke and a special smell, and will also pollute the environment.

In the Guanzhong area and the neighboring Shanxi area, Bai Zhong remembers that there were coal mines.

"I know this kind of thing, but it smells very stinky when burned, and there is a lot of smoke. General Bai wants to use this to melt the sand?"

Wu Luo has seen coal, and it turns out that this thing is called coal.

Bai Zhong explained: "As long as the coal is washed with water, the thick smoke and odor can be alleviated. However, when burning coal, you cannot burn it in the pasture. You must find a downdraft and downstream of the river where no one lives and move.

Where coal burns at a higher temperature, the effect may be better."

Even if he didn't have to mess with the glass, Bai Zhong still planned to let Wu Luo dig coal.

He wanted to forge weapons, but the heat of charcoal was not enough, so only coal could get the requirement.

Wu Luo thought about it for a long time, clapped his hands and said: "Since General Bai said so, I will have people dig up the coal and come back later."

He has paid so much and he doesn't care about it.

If colored glaze could be fired, it would definitely make a lot of money.

In case it fails...

Then fail!

Wu Luo thought it was enough to at least show his face in front of the king.

Bai Zhong said: "Actually, I want to find Wu Zhuangshi for two reasons."

Wu Luo thought for a while and said, "General, please tell me."

"First, I want five thousand war horses."

"so many!"

Wuluo hesitated directly.

He could provide five thousand war horses, but giving them to Bai Zhong would make his heart bleed.

Bai Zhong understood what he was thinking and said with a smile: "I am not a robber. I will not rob Wu Zhuangshi's horse, but buy it with money. How much does a horse cost?"

Wu Luo thought that he would not have to lose his blood, and after a while he said: "For the sake of the general, it costs six thousand per horse, but can the general have so much money?"

He remembered that Bai Zhong had only been in Xianyang for more than half a year. No matter how many achievements he made, he could not afford so many war horses.

Liuli is just a tool for exchanging mutton and grain, not for war horses.

"No!"

When Bai Zhong heard the six thousand dollars, he immediately shook his head. He couldn't possibly have that much money, and said: "But the king does. Wu Zhuangshi left five thousand horses for me, and I will ask someone to send the money when the time comes."

He trained his troops in order to help Ying Zheng sweep through the six countries. Of course, the money was given by Ying Zheng. After destroying Korea, Wang Ben looted a lot of jewelry and property in Xinzheng, which must have been sent to the palace in the end.

This money is enough to build a group of five thousand cavalry.

When Wuruo heard that the king was rich, he said unambiguously: "In that case, I will reduce the amount by another five hundred yuan, and the war horse will be left for the general. What is the second thing the general wants to do?"

Bai Zhong said: "After Wu Zhuangshi digs out the coal, I want to borrow your place to build a batch of weapons. By the way, do you have any iron ore?"

"Of course there are, but they are not used much in Da Qin."

"That's enough. I've also bought the iron ore. I also need to borrow a thousand craftsmen, preferably blacksmiths. I'll provide you with the money later. How about that?"

"no problem!"

Since the king offered the money, Wu Luo agreed.

Bai Zhong said with satisfaction: "We have a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation? These four words describe it wonderfully."

Wu Luo laughed, then thought of another thing and said, "General Bai, do you still remember the last time you asked me to sterilize pigs?"

Bai Zhong still remembered this incident and asked, "Did Wu Zhuangshi do it?"

"I did it, and the effect is very good!"

Wu Ruo waved his hand and had two pigs driven over, saying: "After these pigs are sterilized, they will weigh almost two stones in about half a year. They are very gentle, gain weight very quickly, and have no smell."

"Pigs grow much faster than sheep. They eat everything and are easy to feed."

"Can I use part of the pork instead of the meat I send to the military camp in the future?"

he asked expectantly.

As a result, the value of pork is much lower than that of mutton.

Wu Luo is indeed a businessman, and he immediately wants to control costs and reduce expenditures.

Bai Zhong did not refuse the proposal and nodded: "It can be half pork and half mutton. I will give Wu Zhuangshi another suggestion. You can teach other people how to raise pigs. Of course it is no problem if you use cheap pork to make money, but with

To benefit the people, firstly, they can remember Wu Zhuangshi forever, and secondly, they can get the appreciation of the king again, killing two birds with one stone."

As long as it has something to do with Ying Zheng, Wu Luo will be very interested in it, so Bai Zhong deliberately brought out Ying Zheng again.
