"Go out quickly and wipe it with snow to avoid blisters!" Originally, he only wanted to let Zhou Jianliang feel the convenience of the stove up close, but he didn't expect that he would almost turn the other person's finger into a grilled sausage. Zhang Qian couldn't help feeling guilty and quickly urged the person to go out and use the snow to cool down the symptoms.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jianliang turned a deaf ear to his words. He first put his burnt yellow fingers into his mouth and sucked casually, then took a step back and bowed for the third time, "Brother Zhao, can you pass the drawings of this stove to Shuofang Army? In the next place, we will give Brother Zhao a tribute to Brother Zhao first!"

"What's wrong? The structure of this stove is extremely simple. The drawings are placed on the case behind me. After using it, you can take them away with the hot pot!" The stove was originally prepared for Shuofangjun, so Zhang Qian would certainly not refuse. He walked forward with a smile and held Zhou Jianliang's arm again, "You and I fell in love with you at first sight. In the Zichen Hall that day, Zhang was helped by you many times. So, Brother Zhou should not be so disgusted! Third junior brother, go to the Aoshi Office and make a set of stoves to bring samples to Zhou Duwei. It would also save him from fumbleing the drawings after returning to Shuofang."

"Yes!" The little fat man Ren Cong was confused, but he agreed very readily.

He had seen the structure of the stove, but it was just a few pieces of iron sheets, and the cost was much lower than that of a small copper hot pot. This Zhou Jianliang said that he was still in front of the emperor that day and made too much for his senior brother. Of course, it is worth his reign to congratulate him, and he also treated this person as a friend.

However, when Zhou Jianliang heard this, he immediately became shy. He blushed and struggled for a while before he explained with a sweat bead of sweat: "Brother Zhao, Zhang Shaojian, Zhou, Zhou, Zhou wanted this furnace drawing not for himself. Instead, he wanted to find blacksmiths to build it in batches in Shuofang Army and give it to his brothers for use. I know that doing this is unfair to Brother Zhao. But Zhou is a poor general, and my chief manager has always been honest..."

"Brother Zhou said this and said it, since I gave you the drawings, of course you can deal with them at will! Not to mention it is used in the army, even if you let your subordinates make it for sale, it is up to you. Brother, why should you explain so much to me?!" Zhang Qian felt a little disgusted with the kind-hearted man. However, for the future of himself and the Ruby Girl, he still waved his hand with a smile.

As a result, the more generous he was, the more shameful Zhou Jianliang felt. He hesitated again and suddenly made a fuss and made a stuttering promise, "After all, Yong Zhao can't suffer too much! Well, Zhou can't give up too much to repay Yong Zhao. After fighting against the Turks next time, he will definitely give up his face and ask the chief manager for a hundred heads, and remember it under Yong Zhao's name!"

"No, no, don't! What do I want the Turkic people to do?" Zhang Qian was shocked and quickly let go of Zhou Jianliang's arm and waved his hand. "Brother Zhou keeps it yourself. I have no place to put that thing in Chang'an!"

"It's not for Yong Zhao to play with, but for Yong Zhao to be promoted!" Zhou Jianliang immediately knew that Zhang Qian didn't understand the wonderful use of the enemy's head. He grinned and added laughter and cried, "You are now a fifth-rank, but you have no titles. And the Tang Dynasty's title is the most convenient for military merits. The merits of one hundred enemy heads should be enough to fight for a founding man for Zhao. Although it is not as good as an upgrade, the mansion and carriage can be added to the next level! In this way, Zhou did not owe too much UYZH!"

"In this way, Guo will replace my senior brother and thank Zhou Duwei first!" Before Zhang Qian could understand what Zhou Jianliang said, Guo Nu could not wait to jump up and nail the bricks and foot with Zhou Jianliang.

"If the senior brother can be promoted to the founding man, what kind of armor Brother Zhou wants in the future, just speak up!" Ren Cong was not willing to fall behind, raised his wine cup and joined in the fun next to him.

The three of them each held a cup of wine, drank it all, and then looked at each other and laughed at each other. At this time, Zhang Qian finally thought about the taste, and he was very moved in his heart. So he raised the cup of wine himself and accompanied him hard.

It turned out that Zhou Jianliang had his own calculation method. That day, he and Zhang Qian both made the goal of protecting the emperor. After that, he was promoted to three levels, while Zhang Qian jumped from the eighth grade to the fifth grade. The gap, in his opinion, was that Zhang Qian offered more drawings of windmills and wells than him.

Therefore, Zhang Qian's furnace did not find a way to present it to the emperor first, but gave it to him for free and allowed him to build it casually in the Shuofang Army. In his calculations, it was equivalent to the Shuofang Army taking away Zhang Qian's promotion opportunity. Therefore, the compensation he could get to Zhang Qian was the heads of a hundred enemy enemy.

Now the title of the Tang Dynasty is far less valuable than the Zhenguan period. According to convention, after the achievements of a hundred heads were paid by the court, Zhang Qian would have a steadily obtained the title of a founding man. In this way, Zhang Qian would not suffer too much. Zhou Jianliang would not always feel guilty when he thinks about this today in the future.

"Don't feel guilty about your defeat. Your iron stove was taken into the Shuofang army, but it was a magic weapon!" No wonder Zhang Renyuan would send Zhou Jianliang back to Chang'an to work. Although this person was not very scheming, he was absolutely comfortable to do things.

Fearing that Zhang Qian felt ashamed of the 100 heads, he immediately took the initiative to explain: "The place in Shuofang is just after August every year, and it is snowing heavily. Even if he lives in the city, his brothers' hands and feet are covered with frostbite. There are thousands of brothers in the army who are injured or even died of illness every year..." (Note: It is not an exaggeration to see the snow in the August of the lunar calendar.)

It turns out that in various parts of Shuofang, it is hard to get cold in winter. There is also a lack of enough firewood around for the army to consume. This leads to a large number of staff reductions in the army every year due to frostbite and frost disease.

The most easiest item to get in the local area is peat. However, the poison of peat is colorless and tasteless. If peat is placed in the heating cage, if you are not careful, people in the room will die of a bad life. Therefore, peat has always been strictly prohibited in the army. It is better to fight hard when there is a lack of firewood than to let everyone take the risk of poisoning.

If Zhang Qian gave the drawings of the stove to the Shuofang Army and allowed the army to make a large amount of production. In the future, every group of brothers would live in a large tent when camping and set up an iron stove, and they could use peat to keep warm. (Note: the military system of the Tang Dynasty, each group of ten people.)

The peat is not only burning at a higher temperature than firewood, but also far more resistant to firewood. Brothers, put a stove of peat to warm up and sleep until dawn. When you wake up the next morning, whether it is fighting or daily training, it is like a life-long life!

"Peat? Is there a lot of peat in Shuofang?" Zhang Qian finally heard what he needed from the other party. After Zhou Jianliang finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask.

"It's very close to the Yellow River, and some places are directly exposed to the ground. In summer, they can even be burned by the sun. From a distance, thick smoke rolls, just like the legendary Avici Hell!" Zhou Jianliang was happy, waved his big hand and described it loudly.

"Since that's the case, why don't Brother Zhou take advantage of it?" Zhang Qian heard it and became more and more happy. He grabbed Zhou Jianliang's arm, dragged him back to his seat again, then dipped his fingers in some white wine, and quickly outlined the word "大" in the blank space in the center of the table.

"If I remember correctly, the Yellow River should be like this, and the Shengzhou where your troops are stationed is now at a few words. I once heard Brother Zhou complain that the chief general wanted to build a city along the river bank, but the court was reluctant to pay money. Since peat can be dug everywhere in Shuofang, why not dig it and put it on the boat and go downstream. Once the stove is used by a large number of ordinary people, the daily consumption of peat may be hundreds of thousands of kilograms. Even ten kilograms per cent is enough for the Shuofang army to earn back..."

"No!" Before he could say anything, Ren Cong had already interrupted loudly, "Senior brother, you can sell goods for thousands of miles, only transport gold, pearls, silk and jade! Shuofang is more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an? The price of peat is transported here may increase by five to ten times."

"Senior Brother said to use the Yellow River water transportation!" Guo Nu immediately frowned and retorted.

"Hukou natural danger, the boat cannot pass. There must be a ship being poured there, and the labor required is indefinitely!" When it comes to long-distance goods, Ren Cong is really an expert. Without thinking, he shook his head hard again. "What's more, peat is available for a hundred miles without leaving the capital, but it only requires some labor to dig it up. But it is far lower than trafficking for thousands of miles!"

"Ah? That's how?" Zhang Qian's fingers froze on the table, his face as ugly as it was.

The first time he "opened the border with the map", he was beaten to death by the little fat man Ren Cong at the table before he could put it into practice. It would be strange if he felt good in his heart!

And he cannot use his interests to tie Shuofang Army to himself. In the future, he wants to support himself with the power of Zhang Renyuan, which is like a fool!

Even if Zhang Renyuan is as kind as Zhou Jianliang, he would not risk the war just because of a tin stove to destroy the marriage between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. What's more, Zhou Jianliang had already agreed just now and repay him with one hundred heads of the enemy!

"The chief clerk Ren's words are reasonable, but they are more than one step away from your senior brother!" Just as Zhang Qian was so depressed that he was almost hit by the wall, Zhou Jianliang's deep voice suddenly came from his ears, "If the iron furnace can be used on a large scale by the people, why should our Shuofang Army transport peat to Chang'an by itself? As long as the price is low enough and ensure safety along the way, dig it out and pile it in the open space, and naturally there are vendors to buy it. Bingzhou, Fenzhou and other places near Shuofang, it is as bitter and cold as winter. The local people are densely populated. If every household can light a stove, our Shuofang Army will be like stationed on a mountain of gold!"

I was so poor that I suddenly found that the peat I could see almost everywhere in Shuofang could be dug out and sold for money. Zhou Jianliang was so excited that he even changed his voice. "And my Shuofang army captured so many prisoners every year, and the chief manager always couldn't bear to kill them all. Instead, he had to pay a few days of dry food, eat and drink, and then send them away. If they dare to invade again in the future, I will catch them and dig peat!"

"Bang!" He said excitedly, and he slapped the table hard, causing the soup in the hot pot to splatter.

But Guo Nu and Ren Cong didn't care about it. One quickly turned his head to Zhang Qian and asked with a smile, "Senior Brother, Wang Ziyu was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. Although he was noble, he would not have such a big new source of wealth and would not inform his family. Anyway, the drawings of your stove are ready to be circulated, so why not let me copy one and give it to him? In this way, the more stoves his Wang family sells, the greater the profits of selling peat on Zhou Duwei!"

The other one was sitting in the seat and rubbing his hands, "Senior Brother, the stove near Gyeonggi is handed over to my Ren family. This winter, I promise at least 10,000 Ren family members can hold this item!"

"Senior Brother, I will also ask for one copy of the drawings for my grandfather. Near the Jingji Valley, my family will not compete with the third junior brother. My family will be Dongdu, Luzhou and Xiangzhou!"

...

Next, there was basically nothing Zhang Qian had to do. When it comes to doing business, the two junior brothers had a family background, more experts than his senior brother. In just less than one stick of incense, they came up with a specific "spoils" plan. And even discuss how to join forces to supply peat to thousands of households in the capital in the future.

In this way, Zhang Qian initially wanted Shuofang Army to make a backer for himself. Although he gave some discounts, he could continue to move forward. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could finish his breathing, a gentle knock on the door suddenly came from outside the room, "Tu tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk...", followed by the voice of the head of the bureau, Wang Jun, came in, "Shao shu, Li Fengyu, Shangyan Bureau, want to see you. Others are already in the yard. Are you free at Shao shu?"

"It smells so good!" Before he finished speaking, a voice that was not too unfamiliar was already ringing outside the window, "Zhang Shaojian, is this also one of your master's unique skills? Is it uninvited to come in and join in the fun?!" It is expected to be launched on August 1st. This public version will take place for a long time, which is a reward for everyone's support for the drunkards for many years. I hope everyone can read it happily. :)
