The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 88 I Started a Workshop on the Front Line
The cold wind from the prairie blew into the Huangshui Valley, Song Yingkui lay in the carriage, looking at the stars in the sky.The thick felt was wrapped around the body, but it still couldn't resist the cold wind.

Can Da Zheng's army win this war?The cold wind, the silent night sky and everything he saw in the evening stimulated him to think about some grand things.

As an ordinary citizen, it seems that the outcome of the war should not be considered by himself, and he is free to think about it.However, the outcome of this war seems to be closely related to himself.

Being on the front line, the outcome of the war is directly related to your wealth and life.Another one, Ningxi Acropolis is the bridgehead of Dazheng Ding in Qingfan Grassland. With Ningxi Acropolis in hand, the main force of Xifan on Qingfan Grassland will be firmly nailed in the grassland.Once something happens in this place, the main force of Xifan will face the Yellow River directly. There are many places for them to choose to cross the Yellow River along the line from Hezhou to Wazhou.

The fan rebellion in Hezhou and Taozhou before was just a rebellion by the half-fans of Xisu.If the Acropolis of Ningxi falls, the main force of the Xifan army can cross the river from the Hezhou line to the hinterland of Xisu at any time, which means that the fifth battalion and other places will truly become border areas.The consequences are chilling!

Forget it, think too much, and I am powerless to affect the overall situation. At this moment, the most important concern is to make the three hundred volunteers brought out live better, and have more reliance on the battlefield to survive.

A few days ago, Song Yingkui was still thinking that it would be difficult to take the initiative on the front line.But after seeing the scene of Gao Jiajun doing business with the Xifan army, he felt that there seemed to be a way to think about it on the front line.

The next morning, when the volunteer team returned from camp, people from the Gao family found Yang Shunan.It is said that since the volunteer team often travels between Haishibao and Ningxi City, the two can cooperate. When the volunteer team transports food, they can carry some items they need, so that everyone can benefit.

Engage in transportation and trade on the front line to gain benefits?This is not a good thing for Da Zheng, but it seems to be all good for Gao Jiajun and the Volunteer Team?Song Yingkui is not the master of Da Zheng, what can't he do?
However, the volunteer team may not be able to get what the Gao family asked to carry.Tea, sucrose, pickles, and even the bean curd sticks made by the Song family were all mentioned in the Gao Jiajun's purchase list.It's just these things, where will the volunteer team get them?There should be a channel for these goods at Haishibao, but the unrelated volunteer team can't get involved, and they don't have the qualifications to share the cake at the table.

On the way back, Song Yingkui thought about it all the way, but couldn't figure out a way out.It is really not easy for a volunteer team with no foundation on the front line to make a fortune.

When I arrived at Haishibao, when I was looking for the delivery note from the civil servants, I heard a conversation between several civil servants.

"Wei Dadao is a picky guy. He insists on picking a cart with good wheels to transport food! Now that a pair of good wheels is worth four taels of silver, let's go there and find a way for him? Or, Just take all the good cars allocated to other volunteers and transfer them to Wei Dadao?" A civil servant was cursing and gossiping with his colleagues.

"Master Tang, I'm afraid it will attract criticism from other volunteers to accept good cars." The clerk next to him shook his head, feeling that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

"Take care of it first! Wei Dadao is not easy to mess with, and other muddy legs are easy to deal with." The civil official known as Tang Ye responded disapprovingly to his colleagues' concerns.

"The volunteers who came here are all three to five hundred people, why is Wei Dadao not easy to mess with? You can't underestimate other volunteer teams. I heard people say that there seems to be a volunteer team in Yuyuan that has defeated the Tibetans in a serious way." son."

"Listen to what nonsense! Can they compare with the people led by Wei Dadao? Wei Jiachuan's people are powerful in Wazhou City. Look at their team, seventy or eighty mules, thirty or forty horses. The combat strength may be equal to A serious battalion of soldiers and horses, is there another volunteer team that can compare with them?"

wheel?Song Yingkui is familiar with this matter.The officer's conversation gave him inspiration, and he hurriedly approached with a shy face and said, "You two officials, I should be able to help you with the matter of the wheels. I wonder if I could hear a few words from you?"

The clerk surnamed Tang glanced at Song Yingkui who was coming over to speak, and said, "What do you know? Interjection!"

Song Yingkui didn't care about the hot face and the cold words, and continued: "I'm not talented, it's the craftsman who made the new wheels. The bearing wheels on the Haishibao scooter, I took a look, they all came out of my shop .”

"What? They all came from your shop? Are you kidding? You can't buy wheels with bead bearings on the market now. How could they come from your shop?" Song Yingkui said to Tang The startled voice was raised.

"Does the official know where the bearings and wheels come from?"

"It seems to come from a place called Wuying Town in Yuyuan County? Oh! Aren't you the brave commander of Wuying Town? Could it be that the craftsman who made the wheel in Wuying has something to do with you?" The place where the wheels are located is exactly the same as the place where the heroic team leader came in front of him.In this way, is this person really able to do something?

"Didn't Xiaomin just say that! The wheels with bearings are made by me. In recent months, the good wheels on the market have been out of stock. It is precisely because my shop has been closed for a while due to the riots. Going to the Ningxi front line to help in the battle, of course no one will do the wheel!"

"Is what you said true? Didn't you lie to me?"

"Why do I lie to you? This matter is easy to check."

"Okay, let me ask you, can you make some new wheels for the army on the front line? If you can, it will not be short of your benefits."

"It's definitely possible to make it, but it will take five or six days to prepare. I'll make some special tools for making wheels first. Of course, I have to solve the iron and wood materials used to make wheels."

"This is not a difficult task. Let me approve a note first. Your Fifth Battalion Volunteer Team will not transport food in the near future, and will be responsible for making wheels. As for materials, you can ask me for whatever you want! The ugly words come to the front, If you can’t make a useful wheel, the military law will not spare you.” The clerk surnamed Tang thought briefly and came up with an idea.If the wheels can be made directly on the front line, it will not only solve the problem of transporting military rations, but also seek other benefits.As for whether what Song Yingkui said was deceiving him, there is no need to doubt it too much.

I didn't expect how to expand the channels for reselling materials on the front line, but opened the door to open a wheel processing factory on the front line, which can be regarded as a wrong attack.Whether it's making wheels or reselling supplies, isn't the core to make the volunteer team survive here better?

Others went to the front line to fight wars and transport food, but they went to the front line and actually started their old business as a workshop. This is a bit of a mess, but it is a good thing.Don't even think about making money by making wheels for the military, but the benefits in other aspects are not comparable to the grain transportation team.For example, there is no need to worry about food supply, which is not maintained purely by the performance of transportation like the food transportation team.
