Chapter 272: The cold winter is the future, and there are many obstacles

On the winter solstice, the weather was already very cold. Sun Xin got up and put on a thick fur, and then walked out of the door through the wind and snow.

The crops on the fields have been harvested, and the winter wheat that has passed through the winter is crushed under the snow and will not continue to grow after the spring wind and snow thaw.

Along the way, I walked across the ridge road of Sunjiazhuang, and the shopkeepers on both sides greeted Sun Xin with warm greetings.

If it was the slack season after the winter, the farmers would either be in the house, or go to Dengzhou City to find work or be taken to labor by the government.

But in today's Sunjiazhuang, everyone's lives have quietly changed.

Even though it was already winter, the shopkeepers still showed a busy atmosphere on their faces.

Their targets are not farmland, but the buzzing yarn mills and medicinal materials factories, or the noisy Sun family-centered shops.

The harvest on the fields now accounts for only about 60% of the Sunjiazhuang merchants' income. More farmers choose to enter various factories in Sunjiazhuang to make a living. Many people are doing some small business at Sunjiazhuang.

.

In the past, Sunjiaji was just an ordinary small market within a radius of more than ten miles, but with the emergence of the purchase population, Sunjiaji's business has now expanded many times.

Although new markets have appeared in many farms, the Sunjiaji, which they established a few years ago, is still the largest among them. The location advantage of Shilipai continues to play a role, leading from several nearby farms to

The roads in Sunjiaji are very convenient, and many people are willing to come to Sunjiaji to visit the market when they have time.

When Sun Xin went out today, he didn't ride a horse for convenience, but after walking two steps, he felt a little regretful.

Although winter began early this year, the temperature was not too low. The snow on the roadside melted and frozen, and at this time they all formed a pile of black broken ice slags.

When I stepped on it, I thought I was stepping on ice, but it quickly fell into the unfrozen ice water. After walking a few steps, the water flew into Sun Xin's shoes, and both feet quickly

It was made cold by the ice water mixture.

But now he was too lazy to go back and ride a horse, so he walked quickly to the factory area of ​​Sunjiazhuang.

Li Zhi and his two sons had been waiting in the factory for a long time. When they saw Sun Xin coming, they hurriedly came up. While telling him about the craft problems they encountered today, they followed him in.

Now Sun Ji's pharmaceutical scale has greatly expanded. A large part of the production of conventional drugs has been handed over to the pharmaceutical factory in Dulonggang. Only some complex drugs are still produced in Sun Jiazhuang's headquarters. However, with the popularity of Sun Ji's sales,

Some high-end products are also enough to use a lot of manpower.

In addition, another important industry in Sun Ji's factory at this time was actually chemical production.

The chemical factory here produces sulfuric acid and caustic soda used in the entire Dengzhou yarn mill.

The large demand for raw materials for Jenny machine spinning is insufficient in supply by using traditional hemp reinforcing methods. All new hemp mills use caustic soda corrosion to produce raw materials.

With the increase in yarn production, the demand for sulfuric acid and caustic soda has also driven the sulfuric acid and caustic soda workshops in Sun Ji workshops to become Sun Ji’s raw material factory today. In October, the income of the raw material factory exceeded that of Sun Ji.

I have recorded the income of the pharmaceutical factory.

Sun Xin followed Li Zhi's report and came to the factory workshop with him.

In the experimental workshop, a huge reactor was placed in the center of the workshop, and next to it were various strange industrial equipment developed under specific technologies these days.

Sun Xin brought protective equipment and climbed onto the reactor to take a look. He soon found that the entire material conveying pipeline was blocked. No wonder the raw materials could not be harvested, so he hurriedly asked the technical workers to drain the raw materials and then start dismantling them.

As soon as the pipe was opened, the experimental workshop was filled with a pungent smell, which made people unable to open their eyes. Everyone could only run out and wait for the inside to ventilate.

The finished products of caustic soda workshops that are mature in technology are sulfuric acid and caustic soda, but since we are going to engage in the chemical industry, three acids and two alkalis are essential, and the preparation of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid has also been put on the agenda.

Making these acids is more difficult than making sulfuric acid. Sun Xin never worked in a chemical factory in his previous life. Some of them in his mind are just some of the most basic chemical knowledge, so he can only experiment slowly.

After watching the hydrochloric acid workshop for a morning, a batch of raw materials was invested to improve the heating process and discharge time. The experimental results will take two days to come out.

Sun Xin was already dirty, but he had no time to rest. After leaving the workshop, he went to the canteen of Sun's family to pick up a few bites of food, and then took his subordinates' farmer to Dulonggang.

It was already night when we arrived in Dulonggang.

Sun Xin saw a delicate figure in the watchtower in front of the bridge holding a small lantern and looking anxiously. When he saw his horse coming, the small lantern quickly moved down from the upper floor.

Seeing Sun Xin coming off the horse with a muddy idea, Hu Sanniang hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to take over the horse whip.

"I'll wait for a hurry. The village delayed some matters before we arrived so late."

Hu Sanniang shook her head and said she was fine and followed her husband to slowly walk up the club.

Along the way, Sun Xin looked at Dulonggang's defense situation very carefully. Now, after the three farms in Dulonggang were unified and built the peasant soldiers, there would never be any situation in the Water Margin that could be divided and disintegrated by Liangshan.

It's right.

The peasant soldiers in Dulonggang, the men who came to support from Zengtou City, and all the officers from a regiment in Sunjiazhuang were waiting for him.

Although Dulonggang Sanzhuang had opinions on Sun Xin's idea of ​​expanding the peasant soldiers, after the matter was decided, they quickly adjusted their deployment.

Now the peasant soldiers in Dulonggang have been raised, with a force of 5,000. The three heroes of Zhu family, Hu Cheng and Hu Cai, and several nephews of Lijiazhuang have all become the peasant soldiers leaders in Dulonggang. Although they have changed their names,

At first glance, the peasant soldiers selected by the Supervisory Council seemed to be private soldiers from Sanzhuang.

Sun Xin naturally knew that all three farms had tampered with each other in the supervision committee, but they had already made this attitude and he couldn't force them too quickly, so he took a look and did not express any opinions.

Put your clothes in order to go to the flower hall for a meeting immediately.

After all the people were together, my brother-in-law told everyone about the dynamics of Liangshan in the past ten days.

After hearing this, everyone said nothing. When Sun Xin said that Liangshan would definitely attack Dulonggang, there were still people who had objections in their hearts, but Liangshan's mobilization of Dulonggang has become more and more frequent, and the matter is clear.

It's on the surface.

After the report was completed, Luan Tingyu pulled out the defense situation in Liangshan at this time.

Sun Xin also suggested that everyone arrange two exercises before Liangshan came, so that the peasants and soldiers would first become familiar with their positions, especially the artillery should conduct exercises specifically for mountain combat, and try to get out the local shooting.

There are mountains on Dulonggang, and the shooting distance of the artillery is difficult to calculate, the slope angle and shooting direction are all issues that need to be considered in advance.

The meeting lasted until the early morning, and Sun Xin stood up and walked towards the yard where Hu Sanniang was.

Xiaopang was already coaxed to sleep by Ya'er, but Hu Sanniang was still sitting in the room waiting for him with the light on.

When he entered the house, he saw Hu Chen also accompanying him. She probably was talking to Hu Sanniang, but she was already drowsy at this time, and only Hu Sanniang was still waiting for her husband with her eyes wide open.

When Hu Sanniang saw Sun Xin coming in, he quickly got up.

Sun Xin took off his thick clothes outside and said to Hu Sanniang: "Give me some food."

"You haven't eaten yet?"

"It was too late on the road, so I ate two bites of dry food."

Hu Chen was also awakened by the noise. After listening to the two of them with sleepy eyes, he started to speak, "Sanniang hasn't closed her eyes all night, sit down, I'll do it for you."

As Sun Xin washed his hands and face, Hu Chen brought in a bowl of noodle soup.

Sun Xin picked up the noodle bowl and finished eating the noodles like a wind blowing the clouds.

Hu Sanniang hurriedly asked him: "Do you want to take a shower? I have already put down the hot water."

"I don't have time to wash. I'll sleep for a while tonight and I'll go to Zengtou City tomorrow morning. It's hard to walk on the road after snow these days, so I need to set off earlier."

Hu Sanniang said in surprise: "You still have to go to Zengtou City?"

Sun Xin nodded and said to his wife: "I have mud ideas on my body, so I'll just go to the side of the kang, and the house is not cold anyway."

Hu Sanniang's face had collapsed, and her eyes were filled with tears: "Go to bed, hurry up, I don't think it's dirty."

"No need."

"Go quickly!"

Sun Xin had no choice but to follow his order. After entering the house, he rolled the quilt and soon heard a subtle and even snoring sound.

While cleaning up the dishes, Hu Sanniang felt her nose soreness, and her hands and feet moved suddenly and tears fell.

"Mom, he is so tired...I'm afraid he can't hold on..."

Hu Chen glanced at the room and sighed.

He could only persuade his daughter, "When men do things, they are not as easy as they can."

He looked at the room again: "It will be fine after this time."

The next morning, Sun Xin was woken up by Hu Sanniang. His wife had already prepared some washing items for him. After brushing his teeth and wiping his face, Hu Sanniang brought him a hot breakfast again, and the horse had already changed him. Yesterday

After running for a day, the horses of Sun Xin and several farmers were already exhausted. If they continued running, they would probably lose weight wildly.

When I came to Zengtou City, I went to the yard to meet Zeng Daguan.

When he saw Sun Xin's appearance, Guan Zheng was quite surprised.

"Why have you lost weight after not seeing anyone in a few days?"

Sun Xin smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a bit too much in the past few days."

Official Zeng looked at him deeply and suddenly sighed:

"I'm a good young man. If you don't have such cruelty, I won't respect you as a hero. But... you should cherish your body at a young age."

Sun Xin was a little surprised to hear this, which was completely different from what he thought Mr. Zeng would say.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that I am a traitor who only knows how to behave badly and doesn't know how to say a good thing?"

"No, no..."

President Zeng smiled and shook his head: "You must know that the fourth sister is also my biological daughter, how can I not cherish her?"
