Chapter 741 Strategic Materials
After a fierce battle, Yue Shu led his soldiers to repel the ambush.
Later, he arranged for people to take care of the wounded while arranging for people to safely deliver all the sugar cane materials to the ship.
"After this battle, I don't know if the Southern Expedition Army will retaliate against the Li people?" Yue Shu was a little worried.
Zhu Dazhuang said indifferently, "Don't worry about the Li people. There are still our garrisons there. In addition, with the advantage of the terrain, the Southern Expedition Army will attack them with twice the result for half the result." Anyway, it's a field battle, who is afraid of who.
At this time, the accompanying military doctor disciple came to report, "General Yue, the hemostatic medicine we brought is almost used up, but there are still many wounded soldiers who have not been treated."
"Let's go and take a look."
Yue Shu took people to the wounded camp, and frowned when he heard the suppressed groans of pain in the entire wounded camp.
Zhu Dazhuang said, "This time the enemy came prepared, and we suffered heavy casualties."
Pingzhou had just finished a war, and all kinds of supplies were in short supply. The military supplies he brought with him this time were close to emptying Pingzhou's inventory.
Now these wounded soldiers are not suitable for movement, and can only stay in the south temporarily, but even if they stay, all logistical support must be kept up. First of all, the lives of these wounded must be guaranteed, and stopping bleeding is the first priority.
He summoned his confidant and told him to do something.
Not long after, the military doctor carefully sprinkled the white sugar in his hand on the wound of the wounded with doubt.
He observed for a quarter of an hour and found that the bleeding of the wound gradually improved.
"Stop bleeding! General Yue, did you see it?"
Yue Shu nodded.
Sugar can stop bleeding and disinfect. If there is a wound on your body that is bleeding, you can immediately sprinkle some white sugar on the wound to stop bleeding.
Because white sugar can reduce the moisture in the local wound, inhibit the reproduction of bacteria, and help the wound to converge and heal.
This is a secret that the governor told him before departure.
The military doctor sighed, "This white sugar is a good thing!"
Isn't it? If Lv Songli were here, she would definitely nod in agreement.
You should know that in modern times, sucrose is classified as a strategic material as a material that is important for national livelihood and national defense.
Because sugar can not only quickly replenish energy for soldiers in war, but also stop bleeding.
Also, if white sugar is boiled into syrup, some chemicals are added in a certain proportion and heated and mixed, such as potassium nitrate, it can be made into a powerful bomb! The melted sugar will also cause secondary damage through splashing and flowing, and even if white sugar, gasoline, aluminum powder and rubber are mixed together and ignited, steel plates can be burned through.
The mixture of sugar can be used as a source of power and explosives.
Lv Songli listened to Qin Sheng's previous suggestions.
Explosives are too useless, so she plans to let Gu Zhang study cannons, and white sugar is used to study boosters.
The Qingyanxu Sanzhou Free Trade Zone has become the most lively place on this land, without a doubt.
Many people come here every day with different purposes, and Lu Qian is one of them.
Lu Qian was born in the Lu family of Zhuozhou, and is a carefully cultivated child of the Lu family. The Lu family is not doing well now, and many people like him have gone out to work for the family.
He came to the free trade zone, where there are many opportunities, and he wants to see if he can make a difference here.
The development of Qingzhou District is so prosperous that it makes people jealous, and their Lu family also runs some businesses here. Unfortunately, many families in Pingzhou have made money and eaten meat here, but their Lu family has only drunk a mouthful of soup. How can this situation not make him depressed?
Zuo Anmin found Lu Qian at this time.
Zuo Anmin's first sentence was straight to the point, "Mr. Lu, are you drinking alone?"
Lu Qian recognized Zuo Anmin and said lazily, "Yes, I drink alone, which is better than the bitter wine you drink, Mr. Zuo."
Zuo Anmin ignored his sarcasm and sat down next to him, "Mr. Lu, do you want to cooperate with us?"
"You?" Lu Qian looked him up and down with contempt.
His expression seemed to be saying, when has your Emperor Dali and your master ever defeated Lu Songli?
Zuo Anmin understood, but he held back his anger, "Yes, we."
"Not interested." Lu Qian said, picked up the wine pot and stood up to leave.
Zuo Anmin said to his back, "Lu Qian, Lu Qian, are you so cowardly?"
Lu Qian stopped, "If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, just fart!"
Zuo Anmin said directly, "As the saying goes, don't fight for bread, but for reputation. Your Lu family from Zhuozhou surrendered to Pingzhou, but was treated so badly by Lu Songli, have you never thought of revenge?"
Lu Qian sat back, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
There's a chance! Zuo Anmin immediately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that your son-in-law of the Lu family is related to that person in the Seventh Workers' Courtyard?"
...
Since its establishment, the Qing, Yan, and Xu Free Trade Zone has always been the focus of attention of the people of Dali, Pingzhou, and Xianbei. At the beginning, Dali and Xianbei promoted the myth of getting rich overnight in the casinos in the free trade zone in order to allow more people to reap the benefits.
Before Dali and Xianbei calmed down, Pingzhou's newspapers in various places rushed to report the grand opening of Qingzhou District.
The common people listened with great interest to the storyteller reading the newspaper, and the storyteller described to them in great detail, word for word, the construction work in various parts of Qingzhou District.
Soon, the common people knew that there was a racecourse in Qingzhou District, and the racecourse would hold a horse race every two or three days. Ordinary people could also participate. If they won the prize, the rewards would be super generous.
Liu Cong was a local country gentleman. He had heard a lot of news about Qingzhou District recently and was full of yearning for the horse racing in Qingzhou District. "I really want to participate."
At this time, Ma Tianqing, the brother of the county magistrate's aunt, came over, "Brother Liu, isn't it easy to participate?"
Liu Cong was puzzled, "The Qingzhou District Racecourse is in Qingzhou, and we are in Jingzhou. We can't just go there and gamble, right?"
Ma Tianqing waved his hand, "No need to go to Qingzhou, let's do this, I'll be the banker, and let people buy the numbers."
"I have already made the contact, and the winning numbers for each issue will be published in the newspaper. So, as long as you buy it, I will pay you at a ratio of 1:40, how about it?"
Liu Cong's eyes turned, "Brother Ma , I think we can do this business together. "
"You are smart, I was led by others, you still want to share a piece of the pie?"
"Isn't it better to share a piece of the pie with Brother Ma?"
"You might as well start a new business instead of just starting a new one."
"What do you mean?"
"It means literally, I will introduce my boss to you, you can start a new business, and you can discuss and divide the profits among yourselves."
"Okay, thank you Brother Ma for your support."
"Okay, okay."
As the saying goes, poverty breeds evil schemes. In the past two years, the people have been too poor. The news that people around them make a fortune from time to time constantly stimulates themselves, and many people also start to play with a try mentality.
Some people win as soon as they buy, and after eating meat once, they become more and more addicted.
