Lin Qian felt that the purpose of this trip had been successfully achieved.

First, she consolidated her relationship with Dou Mu, especially when the three of them led the team to win the military exercise at the beginning of the year. Dou Mu used her as his personal secretary during these days, and did not shy away from her on all matters in the army.

According to Dou Mu: "If you want to be a general in the future, you can leave the logistics to someone you trust, but you can't be deceived by others."

Second, Lin Qian took Li Saijin's matter out of the blue, and Dou Mu also threatened her with "breaking the covenant" and used both kindness and power to help her get through Li Saijin's ideological work.

During the conversation with Dou Mu, Lin Qian guessed that Tang Lang formed an alliance with the Xingdao Army because he had turned against him.

Tang Lang planned to slowly encroach on Lingnan and use Lingnan and Jiangyou as the basis to plan the world.

Third, the success of Sui Shi, Shuang Shang, and Yi Ze also gave Lin Qian more confidence.

She decided to make soap to make money when she returned, so that she could use the old method to introduce new people, and began to recruit a large number of female soldiers.

After staying in the military camp for ten days, Lin Qian set off back to prepare for the autumn harvest.

When she returned to Yuzhang City, she made a surprise trip to the government office. Lu Wen was on duty today and said that everything was fine during this period.

Lin Qian flipped through a few more official documents. Sun Wenyin and Zhang Yao were used to dealing with large and small affairs in the city, and they cooperated with each other tacitly.

There is only one thing worth noting in Fucheng recently: the powerful nobles of Suwu Fort sent their servants back to clean the house, and they probably plan to come back to live in Fucheng.

Lin Qian thought to herself: What a coincidence, they happened to be selling soap. Those people were frightened by Tang Nuo, and they would not look for trouble and cause trouble at will.

After handing the reply letter from Tang Ron and others to Uncle Tang and his two sisters-in-law, Lin Qian went to the female army station to hold a commendation meeting without stopping.

She used the incident of this military exercise to praise and praise the three teams, and distributed money and rewards in public.

In addition to the silver she promised, there are also three medals, which are given to the three team captains.

In addition, Lin Qian also talked about the need to expand recruitment. Although the team is small, military positions should be established and promotions should be based on merit.

After the award ceremony, Lin Qian led people to supervise the autumn harvest project while instructing Li Saijin to make soap.

In fact, she doesn't need any guidance. Li Saijin can make incense and adjust poisons. She is a serious chemical genius in modern times. Making soap is not difficult for her.

Lin Qian led her to make soap once, taking the ashes from burning wood and weeds, adding water 1.2 times the weight of the plant ash, and then stirring.

Filter with cloth to remove impurities and gray matter, and obtain the filtered mixed liquid, which is lye.

Heat the alkali solution to remove water to increase the alkali concentration. Add the boiled lard to the concentrated alkali water until the saponification is completed. Cook until it is very thick.

Pour the cooked soap liquid into the container, take it out after cooling, and let it sit for a while to complete the soap making.

Lard is not cheap, so Lin Qian also plans to add floral essential oil and milk to it. She plans to price it at 10 taels of silver a piece.

Touching the newly made soap, Lin Qian called the craftsman and asked him to try to carve poems on the surface. It was estimated that the nobles would like it.

After making sure that Li Saijin had mastered the soap making process, Lin Qian found a dozen domestic servants and gave them to her to manage, and a small soap factory was built.

In addition, Lin Qian asked people to start spreading rumors to the outside world to warm up soap sales.

I couldn't sleep last night, so Fan Fenghao got up early.

After washing, she asked her servants to take out all the money from the storehouse.

Fan Fenghao's grandfather was a salesman, and after marrying, he opened a grocery store. Her father expanded this business, which was nothing in Yuzhang City, but he was finally able to buy a house in the city for her and her younger siblings to study.

My father passed away last month, and now that she is the head of the family, I originally thought that I would have to do everything in order to establish a female household by peeling off the skin.

Unexpectedly, the female official who approved and sealed the document on the same day also mentioned that Miss Tang thought the cleansing powder was too rough and ordered people to develop new cleansing products. All merchants in the city could come and participate in the bidding.

Fan Fenghao remembered that the masks made by Miss Tang had gained a lot of people. The things a noble lady like her would produce must be good.

Taking a deep breath, Fan Fenghao secretly made up her mind. She planned to bet all her wealth on this game.

Lin Qian finally decided on the names of these soaps, "Dark Fragrance Floating", "Landscape Clear Sound", "Fragrant Fragrance", "Apricot Rain and Pear Cloud", "A Hundred Fangs Jingyan"...

There are a total of ten soaps, and ten dealers are selected. The old rules are still used. Everyone bids with slips of paper, and only the top ten with the highest bids are selected.

The bidding was not only about the money, but also the share ratio. Lin Qian, who wanted a 50-50 split, didn't even look at it and just threw it aside. Finally, she chose the one with the higher reserve price among the 40-60 split.

Danxin took out a bidding note and said to Lin Qian: "Sixteenth Mother, there is a businessman here who wants to split the bill with us."

"Oh?" Lin Qian was a little surprised. When she took it over, she saw that the other party was sincere in writing and blunt about her lack of capital. She planned to reduce her own income in exchange for admission.

"Fan Fenghao." Lin Qian looked at the delicate handwriting and asked, "Are you a businesswoman?"

"Yes."

Lin Qian thought for a moment, and finally selected ten dealers and gave "Secret Fragrance Floating" to Fan Fenghao.

She had previously invited two noble sisters-in-law to come over to test the fragrance, and the "hidden fragrance" was well received by both of them.

With Soap's affairs settled, Lin Qian had money in her hands and began to recruit female soldiers.

Affected by this, many people began to collect girls over ten years old from other places and brought them to military camps.

Lin Qian continued to reform the military camp. She began to receive military pay and two days off every month.

She treated everyone equally, and Di Yi and the other male soldiers did the same.

Everything was going in an orderly manner. Lin Qian finally had time to study medical books. She called Li Saijin to join her, and the two often got together to discuss.

This afternoon, she was taking Li Saijin to extract saltpeter. If we had to fight in the future, gunpowder would have to be developed.

Lin Qian planned to prepare a few more trump cards, but she couldn't let Tang Lang and the others know about them.

Now it is a community of interests, but if this interest affects the entire world in the future, she does not want to be controlled by others.

Gunpowder, weapon transformation, and training female soldiers are the focus of her next phase of work.

"Sixteenth Mother is truly a goddess!" Li Saijin looked at the powder in the bottle and was very excited.

Li Saijin felt that her current life was like a dream. Sixteenth Mother was not only able to answer all the difficulties and doubts she had had for so many years, but also taught her step by step.

And the thing called "experiment" also made her obsessed with it, and she didn't know how long it would last.

Sixteenth Mother had many novel ideas, and Li Saijin increasingly felt that it was a great honor to be by her side.

There was a knock on the door of the experimental room, and Lin Qian heard Danxin outside the room saying that she had something important to report.

"Sixteenth Mother, Sui Shi and Yi Ze have come to plead guilty."

Cadres who have been trained in key areas come here to plead guilty? Lin Qian put the extracted saltpeter aside, went out and asked, "What happened?"

Dan Xin explained the matter briefly. Since Sui Shi, Shuang Shang and Yi Ze went to the front line and fought together, their relationship has become particularly good since they returned.

Today and tomorrow are the holidays for the female military camp. Those who live nearby will go back to visit relatives. The female soldiers who were originally refugees will go out in groups to play together.

At the beginning of the year, the three of them were no exception. While shopping, the three of them met the eldest son of the Huang family, Huang Shiren.

Then, Shuang Shang took Sui Shi and Yi Ze into a cloth shop, went out and violently killed Huang Shiren.

After hearing this, Lin Qian frowned slightly and asked, "What's the grudge?"

Danxin shook his head and said: "Shang Shuang was taken away by the Huang family after killing people. I don't know the specific reason."

Lin Qian strode out and saw Sui Shi and Yi Ze kneeling outside the courtyard. She said sternly: "You are at fault. Your fault is that you watched the frost merchant being taken away. The three of them together can't defeat several Huang family members." servant?"

"Why are you still kneeling? Come with me to Huang's house to ask for someone!"
