Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Once the incident comes to light and the imperial court is determined to destroy itself, it should also have adequate countermeasures.

Thinking about it, he had to personally arrange some of his own spies in Bianliang, Tokyo. According to Su Xia's recollection of "Water Margin", according to the time, Lu Zhishen should have been growing vegetables at Daxiangguo Temple at this time.

Therefore, Su Xia must rush to Bianliang, Tokyo immediately.

Su Xia, Su Xia, wake up China!

While he was thinking about this, he was also thinking about the development of Salmon Island. After calling the servant to take out the rice paper, he wrote quickly and kept writing the plan of the island.

By the time Handi Kulu Zhugui went upstairs again with silver coins, Su Xia had already written two large pages.

"Sir, I have counted all the money you asked for."

When Su Xia saw Zhu Gui coming, he stopped writing. He handed the letter to Zhu Gui and said, "Zhu Gui, I want to go on a long trip. This trip will take at least 10 days or half a month! There are many things on the island. There are many things outside the island. No matter how you communicate, you must work together. Send someone to the island to tell Xiong Hui to handle the two pages I wrote without any mistakes.

In addition, I will take a few more carrier pigeons with me. I will release the carrier pigeons back whenever I think of something along the way. "

"Sir, where are you going?"

“Tokyo Bianliang!“

Zhu Gui looked surprised when he heard this: "Sir, are you going by yourself?"

"Time is tight, so hurry up. If you don't go now, it may be too late later."

"Sir, it's a long way to go, and you have to carry so much money alone, and you also need other luggage and carrier pigeons. It's a safety issue for you alone. Why don't you wait a moment and ask Zhao Wenhui or someone to follow you? .”

It was not that Su Xia had not considered the safety issues raised by Zhu Gui. It would be extremely safe to bring a general like Zhao Wenhui with him. However, Su Xia had her own considerations, and since he had confidence in his own skills, he said: "Zhao Wenhui is training the new army. The troops and horses are so arrogant, where can I find time?"

The two of them were chatting so much that they didn't know how to deal with it.

I heard a stammering voice coming from downstairs: "This... this thing... is so light. You all can lift it... no... move it. I say you guys are really useless. Even six of you can't lift such a thing." Things, too, don’t sink.”

Zhu Gui's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the voice downstairs: "Sir, didn't you bring a big man Tao Zongcai here before? Take him with you when you go to Bianliang. He will dig a well here this afternoon. You can bring him with you." It's safe for him to carry.

You know, he is very powerful, so you can carry this luggage to help you. It is just right to carry him, otherwise so much money and homing pigeons would be too heavy. "

Zhu Gui was really thinking about himself. Su Xia thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, then you call him up and ask him to clean up. Let's take a rest here and not go back to the island. We will leave tomorrow. "

"Okay." Zhu Gui was relieved and called Tao Zongcai to go upstairs.

Tao Zongcai entered the house while rubbing his big hands. When he saw it was Su Xia, he was about to kneel down and worship.

Su Xia hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Zongcai, do you still remember me?"

"Sir, Su, although our words are a bit unreasonable, our brains are not that stupid."

After the three of them heard what Tao Zongcai said, they burst into laughter. Zhu Gui said, "Zongcai, my lord is going on a long trip. I want you to go with him to pick up food, protect him, and fetch something for him." Are you willing to go?"

"No problem!"

"Zong Cai, please think carefully, the place we are going to is not close, but Bianliang, Tokyo."

"No problem. Anyway, you can have enough to eat wherever you go with the adults. It doesn't matter where you are."

Zhu Gui: "Okay, I won't stutter when I say this!"

"That's just dividing people. When you talk to adults, you won't stutter so much!"

After saying this, several people laughed again.

In the evening, Su Xia, Tao Zongcai and others rested here. While she was still free, Su Xia began to study the spinning machine based on the knowledge she learned in college.

In fact, when he was in Yanggu County last time, Su Xia deliberately paid attention to the local spinning technology. He also saw the hand-operated spinning wheel and pedal spinning wheel used in Ximenqing Silk and Satin Workshop, but the efficiency was too slow.

If there is a large hemp spinning wheel that can spin dozens of spindles at a time, it will naturally increase the spinning speed by dozens of times. By then, as long as there are raw materials on the island, Salmon Island can process all kinds of fabrics. Another big deal.

Develop new technologies, save labor, and we can do things that others don't know. This is called technical barriers.

For Su Xia, who graduated from Aurora University majoring in mechanics, it is not difficult to draw a mechanical sketch, but without tools such as CAD, the drawn things may not be so precise.

But that doesn't matter, the things you create don't need to be so precise.

What Su Xia was thinking was - Salmon Island is close to the sea, and the spinning wheel made can use the natural force of the ocean and rivers to drive the spinning machine operation.

In this way, if you follow your own design, the large spinning wheel can adapt to large-scale production, thereby saving a lot of labor.

Su Xia was drawing a sketch here, thinking in her heart that she relied on the steam engine to drive the textile machine.

Watt developed a mature steam engine, but in the Northern Song Dynasty for more than 1000 years, no one had considered using steam to do anything.

However, Su Xia was only familiar with the principles of steam engines, but how to manufacture and process cylinders with good accuracy. Improving thermal efficiency is not something Su Xia can solve simply in a short while.

After all, Watt, who specialized in researching this thing, spent more than ten years and a lot of effort before finally creating a high-pressure steam engine, and the thermal efficiency was not high.

Su Xia's first step is to build a large spinning machine to obtain more economic benefits for Salmon Island.

Su Xia was designing a spinning machine in her room upstairs. Downstairs, Tao Zongcai didn't care about tomorrow's trip.

At this moment, he was drinking a small drink alone, and he had eaten half of the sauced beef on the table.

Instead, Zhu Gui told him: "Brother Zongcai, when you travel with me tomorrow, try to take the official road. There are a lot of bandits on the road recently, so please protect me."

"Don't worry, who is right,,,yes,,,I'm good, I know." Tao Zongcai, a big man, shook his hair while eating soy sauce beef.

In the early morning of the next day, the two hurriedly packed up their things in the restaurant, asked the big man to take the carrier pigeon, and said goodbye to Zhu Gui.

The two of them packed their bags and collected the miscellaneous items worth 600 taels of silver, official certificates, carrier pigeons, luggage, and various documents. Su Xia is equipped with a simple knife. Heading straight to the first destination - Wu Dalang's house in Yanggu County. Su Xia wanted to see if Wu Song came back.

This can't be blamed on Su Xia. Firstly, he also forgot the specific time of Wu Song's fight against the tiger. Secondly, Pan Jinlian...
