【Today's first update is delivered!】

Sun Weina looked a little weird, as if Zhang Zhun had asked something very difficult, but she quickly smiled Qianxi and said as if nothing had happened: "It's okay, I'm just passing by here and come and see you. Don't get me wrong. The military uniforms you need are all produced by the people below me. This time I'm escorting a batch of military uniforms here."

Zhang Zhun sneered. If he believed Sun Weina's excuse, it would be strange. However, since Sun Weina refused to tell the real reason, Zhang Zhun did not continue to ask. He never forced women to do anything.

"You're here just right, I'll have something to ask you for."

Zhang Zhun happened to talk about the soybeans just in a staggering topic.

Sun Weina looked at Zhang Zhun a little strangely, then looked at Has Qiqige, and said a little suspiciously: "So you are discussing the issue of forage? Are you really working?"

Zhang Zhun said angrily: "Look at what you said. We do need a batch of soybeans, see where to get it. In terms of price, as long as it is not too outrageous. Otherwise, I can send someone to grab it. As long as it is known, it will be easy."

Sun Weina rolled her eyes at Zhang Zhun, frowned and said, "If I could get it, I guess you would have sent someone to snatch it long ago. This matter is indeed a bit difficult. It seems that I haven't found any of the most soybeans... Let's do this, I'll ask you for information and tell you after there is news. However, I can't guarantee that I can do it."

Zhang Zhun said half-believingly: "It's really that difficult to deal with?"

Sun Weina rolled her eyes at him again and said lazily: "I haven't started a soybean business for a long time. I don't know much about the soybean market. In fact, if you go to Zhu Baowei, isn't he the president of the Qilu Chamber of Commerce? You must know where soybeans are. Otherwise, you can find Zheng Zhilong."

Zhang Zhun asked suspiciously: "Zheng Zhilong?"

Sun Weina nodded and said slowly: "In the past, most of the soybeans in the Ming Dynasty were large merchants in Jiangnan. After collecting them, they were sold to Zheng Zhilong. However, over the years, there have been wars everywhere, and the production of soybeans has been greatly affected. I don't know how much soybean reserves there are in Zheng Zhilong's hands."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and rejected Sun Weina's suggestion without thinking. At this time, he went to find Zheng Zhilong, and it would be strange if Zheng Zhilong agreed. Even if Zheng Zhilong agreed, Zhang Zhun would not dare to accept it. If Zheng Zhilong soaked all the soybeans with poison, then Zhang Zhun would suffer a great loss.

I really didn't expect that a little soybean could stump him, the chief commander of the Hu Ben Army. It seems that the Hu Ben Army's Government Affairs Department is not perfect enough in the planting and promotion of crops! But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the Government Affairs Department cannot blame him. According to his opinion, almost all the land is used to plant crops such as rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, etc. There is no time to arrange for other crops yet.

"Forget it, I'll find another way!"

Zhang Zhun subconsciously shook his head and said indifferently.

"Hey, I didn't say I couldn't do it. Why do you have no confidence in me? A little soybean is not a big deal. As long as there is, I will definitely help you find it!"

Sun Weina felt a little uncomfortable and raised her head and said coldly to Zhang Zhun.

She was originally a proud woman, and her previous experiences made her very sensitive to other people's reactions. What she couldn't stand the most was probably that others looked down on her. She had been a salt owl leader and had a wild murderous aura. Compared with other women, she was a decisive beauty.

For some reason, Zhang Zhun was disappointed with her. She felt very disappointed in her heart. At the same time, she felt very unwilling to accept her emotions. Even she herself didn't know why she had such emotions. Logically speaking, she and Zhang Zhun were completely unattached! He and her had never been in contact with her before!

Her reaction was a bit strange to Zhang Zhun. In the past, Zhang Zhun had almost never seen a woman's eyes to see Sun Weina's existence. Because her performance and the profession she was engaged in were not something that a woman could do. Except for when she was at the foot of the mountain and was rescued, she felt that she was a little wild and beautiful, she didn't feel anything later.

But today, Sun Weina is mysterious and strange in Guli. Zhang Zhun felt that she seemed a bit feminine. Her feminine taste was different from other women. Her feminine beauty was wild and charming. Her body was wrapped in thick black leather jacket. If you want to invade her, you must take off the leather jacket. Obviously, this is not an easy task.

"Then...you keep trying to figure out a solution!"

Zhang Zhun immediately changed his words and said.

"This is almost the same!"

Sun Weina muttered.

"By the way, what I gave you..."

Zhang Zhun suddenly remembered the Jenny spinning machine.

"Hey, I was about to tell you, but I just haven't had a chance. The Jenny spinning machine you gave me is really a good thing. It turned out that dozens of people needed to do the work, and one person could do it. I used to be able to produce more than 100 pieces of cotton a day, but now, I can produce eight hundred pieces a day! The problem is that there is not enough cotton."

When talking about Jenny's spinning machine, Sun Weina immediately spoke with great interest. When she spoke, she was a little restless and liked to fiddle with the horse whip in her hand. It was so weird. Like Has Qiqige, she liked to hold a horse whip in her hand wherever she went. Zhang Zhun estimated that most of this horse whip was not used to whip horses, but to hit people.

Thinking of Sun Weina when she was the leader of the Salt Owl, she was indeed the kind of woman who was afraid to get close to her! Now, she is holding a horse whip in her hand, and there is probably not many people who dare to get close to her easily. If she doesn't do it well, she will get a horse whip and she will have no place to seek justice. To be honest, Zhang Zhun has enough reason to suspect that Sun Weina is violent.

“Isn’t cotton enough?”

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

This result was not surprising at all. When Zhang Zhun was giving Sun Weina the drawings, he thought that cotton planting in Ming Dynasty was quite good, and cotton was produced in most provinces in the north. However, due to the war, cotton production in many places was seriously affected.

The biggest damage the Shaanxi Uprising Army on the Ming Dynasty was that it seriously affected the production of crops. As the rebels and the official troops came and went, they were basically deserted, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, northern Huguang and eastern Sichuan were basically deserted. Northern Zhili and Shandong were also war-torn, and production and life were seriously affected. Even the planting area of ​​wheat and rice was insufficient, so where were there people growing cotton?

"I'm buying cotton everywhere! If no one wants to plant it, I will organize farmers to plant it myself! I'm responsible for providing cotton seeds! I don't believe it, there will be no cotton!"

Sun Weina cheered up and said with a smile.

“How much does cotton cloth cost?”

Zhang Zhun asked with concern.

"At least 20% lower than Songjiangbu."

Sun Weina stretched out her two white fingers and said with satisfaction.

When talking about Jenny spinning machine, Sun Weina was in a good mood. She spoke loudly, talked endlessly, and was eloquent. It seemed that such a happy event had been held in her heart for a long time. She wanted to share it with Zhang Zhun. As for why she wanted to share it with Zhang Zhun, it was completely a subconscious feeling.

Due to the increase in production efficiency, the production cost of cotton cloth naturally decreased. Originally, the cost of cotton cloth in Songjiang Mansion was relatively low. However, after using the Jenny spinning machine, the cost of cotton cloth produced by Sun Weina was even lower. In the area controlled by the Hu Benjun, the cotton cloth produced by the Sun family was very popular.

Four things in life: food, clothing, housing and transportation. At present, in the area controlled by the Hu Ben Army, the food problem has basically been solved. The grain output has been rising steadily, and there will definitely be no famine. This problem of clothing is being solved in a hard way. The emergence of a large number of cheap cotton cloth has helped to a large extent solve the problem of clothing.

When the cotton cloth produced by Sun Weina arrives at the shop, the price of each piece is only 600 cents. A piece of cotton cloth can already make two sets of clothes, including tops and pants. Ordinary people can pull a few pieces of cotton cloth and go back to make several sets of clothes for each person. There is no need for the whole family to only have a pair of pants, and whoever goes out will wear it.

The only regret is that the amount of raw cotton is not enough. If there is a large amount of cotton, the cost of cotton can be further reduced. Because the sales volume of cotton cloth is very large, Sun Weina can make a lot of profits every month for cotton cloth alone. If she expands her business overseas, it will be even more amazing. Compared with silk and silk, the demand for cotton cloth is much greater. Small profits and quick turnover is also very profitable.

"Let's do this, go and talk to Hou Shanping to discuss this matter. I will inform the Ministry of Government that from now on, we will actively promote cotton planting and expand cotton production as much as possible."

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said decisively.

He knew very well that the industrial revolution began with the textile industry. Perhaps this was a good opportunity? There were still many places suitable for growing cotton in the Ming Dynasty. Especially in Gansu, *** and other places in the northwest. After the Hu Ben Army controlled these areas, it might as well plan and organize the planting of large amounts of cotton.

"good!"

Sun Weina left excitedly.

Looking at the back of the former female salt owl who was leaving, Zhang Zhun turned to look at Has Qiqige, as if he had remembered an important question, and asked subconsciously: "Who will she marry?"

Has Qiqige pouted and said, "How do I know?"

After saying that, he shook his braid and left lightly.

Zhang Zhun stood there, a little confused.

I said, are you as for it?

...

"Governor..."

When Zhang Zhun returned to the Central Army tent, Lu Xiangsheng was reading the letter carefully. Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, Lu Xiangsheng arranged the letter and stood up to say hello. Because of the long-term fatigue, Lu Xiangsheng looked much older and had some red silk in his eyes. However, judging from his spirit, he was still quite excited.

Lu Xiangsheng said bluntly: "If we surrender and turn around and beat the original boss immediately, I'm afraid the governor... you won't like Yulin, either."

This is very clear and without any concealment. If a person without mental preparation is not careful, he will definitely feel uncomfortable when he hears such words. However, this is also Lu Xiangsheng's style of speaking. Zhang Zhun has become accustomed to his words.

Brigadier General Zhang returned the letter to Lu Xiangsheng, sat down and pondered for a while before he said slowly with a serious expression: "Mr. Jiutai, do you agree with the change of dynasty?"

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time before he said bitterly: "The situation has developed to this point, and the court is powerless to turn the world. In the future, it will be the world of the Hu Ben Army. Jiutai is here, and there is only one request. Please let the Governor let the emperor go and save the royal family."

Zhang Zhun did not answer immediately. His eyes fell on the roof and slowly fell down. Finally, Zhang Zhun slowly said: "Mr. Jiutai, if you were me, how would you deal with the emperor?"

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a long time and said obscurely: "I'm sorry, I don't have an answer."

Zhang Zhun suddenly stood up, pointed to the world map on the wall, an island in the east of Africa, and said with a deep face: "Mr. Jiutai, where do you think this is?"

Lu Xiangsheng walked forward with some confusion and carefully identified the text comments next to the map. After a while, he said with some uncertainty: "Madagascar?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said cheerfully: "Yes, this is Madagascar! This is a large island, larger than the Dongfan Island in our country. If our fleet arrives here, I can let the royal people live on Madagascar forever. However, they have not received my approval and cannot leave this island. What do you think?"

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a moment, faced Zhang Zhun, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your grace to the Governor. I think the royal family should accept it happily."

For him, Zhang Zhun's handling result was indeed too kind. Madagascar is indeed very far away from the Central Plains. But no matter what, it is a large piece of land, right? Compared to being killed all of them, or being placed under house arrest in a corner as big as a palm, this is already a great blessing.

Judging from the annotations next to it, the area of ​​Madagascar is equivalent to that of the three provinces of Shanxi, Northern Zhili and Shandong. The island's resources are also very rich. As long as the Zhu family royal family has a little ability, they can continue to reproduce there. If they can't live, it can only be said that they are too incompetent.

Zhang Zhun walked back from the map and said thoughtfully: "The court is currently in Guanzhong and hesitated. Some want to go to Shuzhong, while others want to go to Gansu, but they can't make a decision. At this time, it is a good time for Sun Chuanting to make up his mind. If you want to come, come here early. I won't pursue what he did in Zhending Mansion last time. However, if I come late, I will ignore it."

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly said, "I will do it!"
