Chapter 279
Seeing that Chunhe and Qiuxiang were all going to Song Yan, Jiang Dan subconsciously wanted to be lazy, but before he straightened up, a sharp look came over, and Song Yan's icy voice also followed into his ears: " Don't try to be lazy, if I find out, I will punish you for standing for half an hour longer."
"Yes!" Jiang Dan responded, but he kept cursing the Great Demon King in his heart.
Song Yan did not treat Jiang Dan as he did to Chunhe Qiuxiang, but asked him to jog and run every day.
One is to enhance his physique, and the other is to hone his xinxing.
"General, just now, Lord Juncheng ordered two bunches of grapes from the Western Regions to be sent, and the slaves will bring them here for you." While speaking, Chun He ran into the room, and after a while, he was carrying two trays of grapes full of grains. Grapes came out.
Qiuxiang brought him a reclining chair and placed it in front of him.
This reclining chair was specially made by Song Yan's craftsmen.
"General please." Qiuxiang smiled every day.
"Yeah. The little girl is getting smarter and smarter." Song Yan nodded with satisfaction, and went to the reclining chair, and then the reclining chair creaked.
"General, please eat grapes."
As soon as he lay down, Chun He brought the washed grapes to his mouth.
Although grapes are just ordinary fruits in the real world, at this moment, Song Yan has a different flavor.
It's only been seven or eight days. Because of Song Yan's reason for cutting the hair and washing the marrow of the two girls, they are becoming more and more radiant, and even their skin has become extraordinarily hydrated. Unfortunately, they are still thin, a bit like a firewood girl.
"Chunhe Qiuxiang, are you still used to living these days?" Song Yan asked with narrowed eyes.
"Back to the Great General, the slaves are very happy, they have never been so happy." The two women said in unison.
"Really good at talking. By the way, are your family members okay?" Song Yan asked casually.
"Thanks to the general, our family has your care, it's all very good."
"That's good." Song Yan nodded, then waved to the two women: "You can share the remaining grapes."
"Thank you General for the reward." The two women said happily.
After getting along with Song Yan for a period of time, they had figured out his temperament, and they knew that the general had a unique temperament, so when they heard Song Yan rewarded them with grapes, they did not refuse, but directly thanked him.
"Okay, you don't need to serve here, let's go down and rest first!"
Seeing the two women receding happily, Song Yan sighed in his heart that a bunch of grapes can make them so happy, it's really easy to satisfy.
Gradually, Song Yan, who was lying on the chair, snored, and Jiang Dan, who was standing on a horse, quietly straightened up.
At this moment, Song Yan's voice suddenly sounded: "Stand for half an hour longer!"
Jiang Dan's face was stunned, and he didn't understand why Song Yan could still see him being lazy with his eyes closed.
"What are you still doing, don't continue to squat, do you still want to squat for half an hour?" Song Yan said coldly.
Jiang Dan gave Song Yan a resentful look, and continued to squat.
And just like that, three more days passed.
Song Xiu first came with the good news, the paper had already been manufactured.
According to Song Yan's request, three kinds of paper were made this time.
One is softer and not suitable for printing or writing, but it is more suitable for wiping the buttocks. Because there are no paper towels, the world uses wood chips or tree strips to wipe the buttocks.
Although it took less than ten days, Song Yan couldn't stand it.
"Well, not bad! Not bad!" Song Yan was very satisfied with the softest paper.
"General, I'm sorry to say that this kind of paper is too thin and too soft to be used for writing or making books."
"You don't understand! Although this kind of paper cannot be used for writing, it has other uses!" Song Yan said mysteriously.
"For what purpose?" Song Xiu asked curiously.
"Don't you think it's more appropriate to use it to wipe your butt?" Song Yan winked at Song Xiu.
"What? To wipe the buttocks? This... this is too violent!" Song Xiu exclaimed, in his opinion, paper is an epoch-making product. With paper as a carrier, it is simply the world. The Gospel of the Reader.
You know, writing and engraving on bamboo slips is extremely troublesome, but now with paper, it is different.
"Okay, let's not talk about this first, now I will give you a task, you will use movable type printing to copy all the books in the city lord's treasury, then bind them into volumes, and then organize a caravan to sell them. Books sell paper!
Also, the scale of the manufacturing plant has to be expanded, and the production of paper has to be stepped up. We will depend on it to be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future! "
"Subordinate to obey!"
Just after visiting the paper factory, there was good news from Zhao Yan. News of the detailed work sent to Yi'an County and Fan County had already come. The grain in Yi'an County is no less than 2 million liters, and the grain in Fan County is also 1.5 million liters. about.
If the food in these two treasuries can be emptied, it will be enough to feed 40,000 troops and horses for more than two months.
"I don't know what the master should do next?" Zhao Yan asked.
"Have you ordered all three thousand horses?" Song Yan asked rhetorically.
"You can leave anytime!"
"That's good, tomorrow we will go to Yi'an County to carry food!" Song Yan smiled mysteriously.
On the second day, Song Yan set off with Zhao Yan and 3,000 horses, because they were all cavalry and they were very fast.
In order not to arouse the vigilance of Yi'an County, Song Yan asked Zhao Yan to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to wait 30 miles away, and then continued to rush to Yi'an County after dark, while Song Yan went to Yi'an County alone. .
Like Linshui County, Yi'an County is also a middle county.
Although Yi'an County's city walls were three feet high, it was no match for a master like Song Yan.
Like a wisp of smoke, he clicked on the city wall with his feet a few times, then easily crossed the city wall and sneaked into the city.
The detailed work returned not only the amount of grain in the treasury, but also a map of the distribution of Yi'an County.
With the carefully drawn map, Song Yan easily found the City Lord's Mansion.
At the moment, the city owner Hetai was having sex with a woman on the bed.
I have to complain that there is really a lack of entertainment in this world, except for men and women, there are almost no entertainment activities.
Song Yan was quite understanding, but he didn't let out a cough until Hetai finished his work.
"Who?" Hetai shouted.
Song Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly enslaved him with his puppet magical powers.
An hour later, the gates of the city opened, and the generals and county guards jointly escorted hundreds of carriages full of food and various finances out of the city.
After walking ten miles, they happened to meet Zhao Yan's 3,000 army horses who came to Yi'an County.
After receiving these hundreds of cars of money and grain, Song Yan waved to Hetai and Ye Ye, indicating that they could return to Yi'an County.
At noon on the second day, hundreds of carriages lined up in a long snake to enter Linshui City. Meng Bozhao, Song Xiu, and Shen Du, who came to hear the news, were overjoyed when they saw the money in the car.
After letting the three thousand soldiers rest for a day, Song Yan took them to Fan County again.
