Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 237 The great immortals are promoted!
In November, there were sporadic reports of locust plagues in the north.But these have not attracted people's attention, thinking that everyone knows the saying "the grasshopper after autumn, it won't take long to jump".

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the locust plague to disappear when the snow covered the ground.

In Tianmen County today, everyone is spinning and weaving.More than a dozen men, women and children gathered together, talking and laughing, while twisting the cotton balls into thin threads, and then putting the threads on the loom to weave into cloth.

Zhang Wei asked craftsmen to design a spinning machine that can spin ten threads at a time.Ten times stronger than traditional spinning wheels that spin one thread at a time.Then the loom was improved and the flying shuttle was introduced to make the weaving faster.

As for the power, of course they are themselves.They have good physique and high stamina.The work is similar to that of the early steam engine, that is, it consumes a little food.

Anyway, winter is long, and people here are also idle.

After this, when the next spring begins, every household will produce a large amount of cotton cloth.

These cotton cloths don’t have any designs and colors yet, but they are the simplest native cotton cloths. Because it was produced in the first year, many things have not kept up, such as jacquard machines, such as printing and dyeing workshops.

But with cotton cloth and cotton, people this year can finally wear big cotton jackets and big quilts!This is much more economical than fur!

When the next spring begins, merchants who come here will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are cotton cloths for sale in Tianmen County!
Most of the merchants in Tianmen County come from countries in the Western Regions, and silk and cotton cloth have always been in high demand.People in the upper class love silk, and people in the middle and lower classes love cotton cloth.

In the past, they needed to enter the Central Plains to purchase these materials in bulk, but you also know that it is very inconvenient for these foreign people to enter and exit the Central Plains.After all, there is no guide!
They are all transported and traded by the caravans from the Central Plains. This time, the price of cotton cloth that is cheap in the Central Plains will also double here.

But now that there is cotton cloth in Tianmen County, they can buy cotton cloth at a relatively low price.As for these cotton cloths that haven't been printed yet?This is a small problem, and the white cotton cloth is also very popular!
After the beginning of spring, those who sell cotton cloth have made a lot of money!Zhang Wei's [-] mu of cotton fields and the weaving of thousands of slaves have brought them huge benefits.

With this stimulus, the locals immediately decided to switch to cotton!In addition to guaranteeing basic rations, they plan to grow all cotton!

If Zhang Wei hadn't asked them to guarantee a part of the land to grow food, the people here would have gone crazy, fearing that it would cause a situation of "cotton eating people"!

Tianmen County has a large amount of land, but it will not cause a shortage of land.Zhang Wei just led the trend. As for how to develop in the future, that is the business of Tianmen County people.

..............................................................................

In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Zhang Wei finished his alchemy work for a day and was enjoying the weasel's leg pinching service.

"My lord, what do you think of this strength?" Weasel asked obsequiously while exerting strength.

Zhang Wei nodded, closed his eyes and said, "It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it. You're so courteous, you're either rape or robbery."

The weasel immediately said: "Master, you have misunderstood me! If I can rape or steal anything, I just want to ask you for leave."

Zhang Wei was a little strange, he said: "You want to ask for leave? Then arrange it yourself, you don't need to tell me."

This weasel doesn't have to be on duty, so he doesn't have the concept of asking for leave at all.

When the weasel heard this, he was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, I have a crush on a girl. If you want to borrow someone from my uncle, please ask for leave to show off!"

"Yo ho! You also found the girl you like? Who is it?" Zhang Wei felt a little surprised and asked immediately.

"It's the starling family in the south." Weasel said a little embarrassed. "It's a girl from their family, named Liang Jingjing."

starling?Zhang Wei thought about it carefully before realizing that it was a small bird.He said, "How many people do you want to give you momentum?"

As soon as the weasel heard this, he immediately knew that there was something to be done about this matter, and he immediately said, "Give me a hundred, no, only fifty fox soldiers are enough!"

"Hahaha! Wouldn't this be too shabby? Since you are my family's demon servant, how about this, I will give you a thousand fox soldiers, and appoint you as General Huangfeng, while White Hedgehog and Gray Mouse will be appointed as General White Wind and Gray Mouse respectively. General Feng, as your deputy!"

Among the monster clan, a goblin who commands a thousand little goblins can be given the title of 'General'.Weasel and the three great immortals have followed him for so many years, and they have worked hard without credit. Letting them manage a thousand fox soldiers is also a reward for them.

After saying this, Zhang Wei felt the weasel stop pinching its legs.

Then he looked down, only to see the weasel was crying and was wiping away tears with his hands.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Wei wondered.

"Uncle, you are so kind to me! I don't even know how to thank you." He suddenly burst into tears, and hugged Zhang Wei's leg for a while.

"Okay, okay! Tears and snot all over my body!" Zhang Wei scolded with a smile.He didn't expect that a mere general position would move him so much.

"Since you have become the general of my demon soldiers, you have to work hard in the future, understand?" Zhang Wei did not forget to try his best.

"My uncle who knows, from now on, if you point to the east, I will not go to the west, but if you point to the direction, I will not go to the north!" said the weasel.

"Okay, okay, you go down. Let Dahei buy you an outfit, so as not to embarrass the Zhang family." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

When the weasel heard this, he quickly thanked him and ran away.

He rushed all the way, found his two brothers, and said to them: "Great joy! Great joy!"

The two brothers were basking in the sun boredly, and when they heard what he said, they both smiled and said, "What's the matter? The girls of the Liang family are willing to marry you?"

Obviously, the two brothers also knew about this private matter of the weasel.

"Hehe! If that little girl disagrees, I won't marry him! Do you know? My uncle has appointed us officials!"

When the two immortals heard this, they didn't care about lazily basking in the sun, and quickly turned up and said, "Really?"

"Then there is still a lie? Goblins don't lie to goblins! Didn't I say that I would bring some fox soldiers to the Liang family to propose marriage, but when my uncle heard about it, he directly named us three generals!"

He said proudly: "I am General Huang Feng, you are General White Wind, and you are General Gray Wind! You two are my deputy!"

The two great immortals have no objection to becoming the weasel's deputy, after all, they have been deputy for so many years.

It's just that they didn't expect that Zhang Wei would appoint them officials!

It is very important for goblins to seal the official position.It is very difficult for goblins to be pardoned. In their bones, goblins like to be officials, ostentation, and power.

Otherwise, the weasel would not have asked Zhang Wei for fifty fox soldiers to build up momentum.

But now, they were able to get Zhang Wei's entrustment, that was overjoyed.

The three immortals were so happy that they went to Zhang Dahei together.

After explaining the purpose of coming to Dahei, Dahei smiled and said: "Okay, I understand. The master also ordered, I will give you tokens, flags and official uniforms!"

Here, the earl and above have the right to open their teeth and build a mansion, so they can naturally raise private soldiers and assign official positions.Although Zhang Wei is only a baron, it's okay to preview it first. When he really becomes an earl, their team can be pulled together at once.

The three immortals rubbed their little hands and waited anxiously.Not long after, Zhang Dahei took out three bronze medals, three sets of official uniforms, and three flags.

On the bronze medal, the images of the three great immortals are depicted on the front, and their titles are on the back.The same goes for the three flags, each with the words 'General Yellow Wind', 'General White Wind' and 'General Gray Wind' written on them.

The final official uniforms are three sets of cotton armor.Goblins don't need armor in the first place, because their fur is the best armor.But in order to show their majesty, goblins with positions still like to wear armor.

And Zhang Wei borrowed from the ancient cotton armor and designed cotton armor official uniforms for his own people.This is also the product of the Zhang family having a lot of cotton and adapting measures to local conditions.

These three sets of cotton armor had been prepared a long time ago. It was not something Zhang Wei thought of when he slapped his head, but he had already planned to appoint the three great immortals.

Now, the three great immortals are all among the fox soldiers and rarely appear in the Zhang residence, so Zhang Wei has long wanted them to manage the fox soldiers.

The three great immortals are direct managers, and when there is a war or it is of great use, they will send people from the Zhang family to take command.It can be regarded as the separation of soldiers and generals.

Wearing gorgeous cotton armor, the three great immortals went to the fox barracks to show off, and swore that they had become their superiors.

Anyway, the official position was given to Zhang Wei. Whether he can subdue the fox soldiers below to obey orders depends on the abilities of the three great immortals.

However, the three great immortals climbed up from the bottom after all, so it probably wouldn't be too difficult.

The three great immortals came to the fox camp, first to show off for a while, then to explain their new identities, and then to promote a group of fox soldiers to serve as the general banner of patrolling mountains and drilling wind.

Mountain Patrol and Zhuanfeng General Banner are both duties. Mountain Patrol has ten demon soldiers, and Zhuanfeng General Banner has ten mountain patrollers.And because the Zhuanfeng General Banner is usually carried by the general, it is called the General Banner!

Subdivided under it, there are also positions such as Zhuanfeng Xiaoqi and the head of the mountain patrol.But these positions are not recorded in the military merit book, but are only sealed by the subordinates themselves.

Just like a law enforcement brigade, in fact, only the captain has a staff. The other squadron leaders and small captains are all self-appointed internally. Those who don't have a staff, even the wages are not much.

But goblins have vanity if they can't stand it. If you don't want to be an official, they won't have the motivation to work!
In the past, Zhang Wei did not really set up various positions in the fox camp. Almost all the fox soldiers were under self-management, and only a few veterans managed them.

But now that the three great immortals have officially taken over the fox barracks with Zhang Wei's order, all the previous things don't count, and they start to promote their own foxes.

There must be disputes, but the three great immortals took the righteousness, and then recruited a few powerful fox soldiers to suppress and divide those thorns. After three to five days, they basically took control of the fox camp.

When the matter of the fox barracks was settled, the weasel carried the banner and led five hundred fox soldiers, and began to propose marriage.Judging by his strength, if he fails to propose a marriage, he will probably be robbed by force!

The weasel is now an official, so he went to Hu Jubai's place to cry poorly, and went to Xiaoqian's place to sell miserably. With his little savings, he even bought a good betrothal gift.

Then I saw them carrying the betrothal gifts, leading the fox soldiers, and walking towards the southern boundary of Tianmen County.

To the south of Tianmen County is a desolate Gobi.Because it is far away from the Tianshan Mountains, the water and soil here are naturally a bit desolate.

If you go further south, you will enter a large swamp again.

This piece of Gobi is like cheese sandwiched between two pieces of meat, yellow and clear.

Although the Great Gobi is desolate, it is not barren of grass. It also has its own ecological environment.

Some goblins stop here.Because there are big monsters occupying the big swamp in the south, and there are human activities in the Tianshan Greenland in the north.

Surviving in the cracks is exactly the portrayal of the little demon here.

The team of weasels walked for several days, and finally reached the Great Gobi.Their large group of monsters naturally attracted the attention of many nearby monster clans.

But at first glance, they are not easy to provoke goblins, and the goblins here are not stupid enough to touch porcelain.

When we arrived at the Great Gobi, Weasel was about to show off. In order to show that he had a wide network, he pretended to say, "This place is here, but where is the Liang family?"

The fox soldiers in the back were a little dumbfounded when they heard it. Did the general bring us here without even knowing the location?

At this time, the gray mouse who was in charge of cheering said: "General, why don't you call the local land to ask?"

Only then did the weasel nodded in satisfaction, this was indeed his brother, as soon as he pouted his butt, he knew what shit he was going to do.

So he took out his token, took out a piece of incense money, and said: "Under the command of Tianmen County Magistrate, General Huang Feng has invited the Lord of the Land!"

After he finished speaking, he slapped his token and incense money on the ground, waiting for the result.

Not long after, a whirlwind blew up, and a little old man came out from the ground.He looked at the weasel curiously, and said, "Are you under County Magistrate Zhang?"

Then he took a closer look, but said with a smile: "Really, aren't you Brother Huang, Master Zhang's servant? Why are you promoted now?"

The weasel saw that this was not an old man from the land when Zhang Wei invited the Yin officials of Tianmen County to a banquet that day. It turned out that he was from the land here!

He immediately said: "So it's you, brother! Do you work here?"

The land immediately said: "Who says it's not! My brother has no skills, so he can only work in this desolate place. Brother, where are you coming?"

The weasel smiled and said, "I'm here to propose a marriage. Do you have a Starling Liang family here? I'm here to marry their girl, Liang Jingjing!"

When this land heard this, he frowned and said, "Ah! You are also here to marry Liang Jingjing?"

When the weasel heard the word 'also', he immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling that this matter was not easy.He immediately said, "What's the matter? Is there someone going to marry Liang Jingjing?"

The land looked at it, and quickly said: "I don't know too well, but there is indeed a group of water lizards in the southern water lake asking for marriage from the Liang family! This is quite a big scene!"
