Six hundred and ninetieth chapters pre-war military supplies

Le Mei, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "Actually, this is not surprising. The sugar and brown sugar in the south are made of sugar cane. One grows on the ground and the other grows underground."

Hearing this, Ninth Princess Wan'er smiled and said, "That's what I said, but the yield of sugar beet is very large, and it is suitable for planting in the north. Sugar beets are grown in the north to make sugar, and if they are sold in the north, the price of sugar will drop. Maybe.

Even ordinary people can buy a pack."

Le Mei nodded and said with emotion: "The best thing for a poor family's wife to do during confinement is just brown sugar and eggs. Not every family is willing to drink chicken soup and eat chicken."

While the master and servant were talking, Gu Shao came back.

Gu Shao's eyes fell on the packets of candies in Princess Ninth's hand, "Is this from Mrs. Derry?"

Ninth Princess smiled and said, "My husband is so awesome, he guessed it right at once."

Gu Shao shook his head and laughed, "Because if it's just ordinary candy, it won't reach Her Royal Highness at all. It will be sent directly to the kitchen."

The Ninth Princess smiled sweetly, "My husband is right. Ordinary sugar cannot reach me. Now that Sister Pan'er has made sugar in her workshop, I want to do business with Sister Pan'er."

Gu Shao thought for a moment, "It's okay for business, but we have to focus on the north first. After all, there's a war going on right now, and something made by mixing sugar and oil is the best thing to satisfy hunger."

"Winter is coming soon, and fighting outside is very difficult. So all kinds of supplies should be taken care of for the war first."

The Ninth Princess nodded repeatedly, "Of course, after all, sister Pan'er's husband, Li Yuanqing, is fighting at the front."

"Even if we do business, this year's candies probably won't be sold to the capital or other cities. Most of them will stay in the local area."

"The business we talk about means next year, after everything stabilizes. We have not only silk woven from silk around Sangcheng, but also these precious candies."

"These things may not be very competitive when shipped to the south, but after they are shipped to Beirong, they will definitely be very popular and valuable."

Gu Shao nodded after hearing this, "That makes sense!"

Sure enough, as the Ninth Princess guessed, Liu Pan'er decided to keep all the sugar produced in the mall as a strategic material.

The Ninth Princess admired her and said, "Just give it to the army for free?"

Liu Pan'er nodded, "His Majesty has given our family so many rewards. Now the war is tense and my husband is on the front line. Of course I will provide full support from the rear."

"Beets can be grown every year, and sugar can be produced every year. Doing business can never be done in a hurry."

Princess Ninth nodded in agreement, "Sister Pan'er is saying, what should we do next? What can I do?"

Liu Pan'er replied: "Now we will arrange for the stewards below to repair the land and plant rapeseed. Wait until next year, the rapeseed flowers all over the mountains and plains will be golden and very beautiful. When the flowers wither and set seeds, there will be strings of rapeseeds. These

Rapeseed can be used to extract oil to satisfy the people in the north."

"In addition, as the weather gets colder and colder, the war in the north becomes more intense, so I am planning to mobilize all the women in the city to sew cotton-padded clothes and leather jackets. Of course, this is for wages."

"There is a lot of rain and snow in the north, and ordinary shoes are simply not suitable, so we need to make more cowhide boots with some waterproof insulation inside."

The ninth princess wrote them down one by one, "Sister Pan'er, I will work with you to do my part."

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Okay, we can't do other things, but for these clothes and shoes, we can organize women in the city and even the countryside to do it together."

Li Rong rushed over excitedly, "Mom, the first batch of rabbits we raised are now five or six pounds. They will be processed at the back and made into salted rabbit meat and sent to the front line."

Li Li also brought good news, "Aunt Liu, rabbit skin and sheepskin have been tanned, dried and made into leather. Wear them outside cotton-padded clothes. They are very warm."

Seeing the little helper coming, Liu Pan'er smiled happily and said, "Okay, well done. The soldiers are well fed, warmly dressed, and more effective in fighting."

The Ninth Princess learned a lot from Liu Pan'er.

More and more women are organized to sew cotton and leather clothes, and they do so in an assembly line manner.

A person who sews sleeves specializes in sewing sleeves.

Different parts are assigned to different people and finally sewn together, which greatly improves efficiency.

The same goes for making cowhide boots, with thick wool inside and thick soles, making them extremely warm.

The promotion of northern cold and chili peppers also came to Sangcheng.

Even ordinary people can grow chili peppers at home, and even if they cannot be sold at a high price, they can still eat them at home.

Boiled mutton oil chili has become the most popular condiment among the army.

The stew in the big pot in the military camp doesn't taste very good, but adding a spoonful of mutton oil and chili pepper immediately adds a little more flavor to the food in the bowl.

Every ten days, tens of thousands of rabbits are delivered to the military camp, with an average of one rabbit for every ten people.

Although it's not much, you can still eat a few pieces of meat.

In addition, the soldiers received cotton-padded coats and leather jackets one after another to keep them warmer. Wearing gloves to protect their hands, especially a pair of cowhide boots, put them on their feet and felt that the whole person felt warmer.

The water used to soak your feet at night is filled with herbs, which can prevent chilblains. If you have chilblains, it can also relieve itching.

In short, Liu Paner tried his best to improve the logistics work.

Even General Zhao was shocked when he saw what Liu Pan'er did.

He wrote them down one by one so that they can be used as reference in the future.

Li Yuanqing naturally also received good things from his wife

Li Yuanqing finally found the opportunity and determined that several Beirong princes were already fighting, so he started to take action.

After Li Yuanqing completed the deployment, he began to attack from the front, attracting 80% of Beiyun City's troops.

In order to guard against the Great Zhou Dynasty, 50,000 troops were stationed in Beiyi City, of which 30,000 were cavalry.

Usually the third prince is in charge of Beiyun City, but now he is busy going back to fight for the throne.

They directly took away the 30,000 cavalrymen, leaving only 20,000 people to defend the city.

Most of these 20,000 people are not very effective in combat.

Beiyun City has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. For so many years, Zhou Dynasty only defended Sang City and never invaded Beiyun City.

The third prince left 20,000 people behind and felt that it was more than enough to defend the city, so he went to fight for the throne boldly.

But these people never expected that Zhou Dynasty would send troops.

The soldiers in Beiyun City couldn't believe that Zhou Dynasty was like a sheep in its military strategy. Could we cross the middle line and attack Beiyun City?

But Da Zhou just launched a war!

He hurriedly stood up to respond to the enemy, but when he saw the dark army below, he was trembling with fear.
