Chapter 1866: War in Four Counties (Part 1)
“I knew it would be like this.”
Ye Qingmei looked like she was about to cry without tears. Now that she thought about it, she was still too naive at the time. After all, Qin Hao had copied so many poems and articles as a copywriter, so how could he not start with glass soap?
“But brother, you are really too cruel. When you eat meat, you always have to leave a mouthful of soup for other travelers.”
Ye Qingmei lamented in her heart, extremely dissatisfied with Qin Hao's behavior of eating alone. Qin Hao had taken out several of her skills first, and she had lost the opportunity. Even if she followed behind and encouraged him, she would definitely not be able to compete with the wealthy Qin Hao. Home.
“Forget it, since you can’t eat meat, let’s drink some soup.” Ye Qingmei sighed in her heart.
Qin Hao took the initiative and took the lead, already occupying the biggest cake, but that didn't mean that she couldn't get a bite of the cake.
Except for the Qin Army, no other princes have yet mastered these technologies. It is impossible for Qin Hao to occupy the entire market as big as China.
In fact, being able to drink 'soup' is also a huge wealth, but if it is just soup, Ye Qingmei is a little unwilling. After all, she is also a time traveler, how can she be reduced to the point where she can only drink 'soup'?
Hearing Ye Qingmei say that he didn't know any other skills, Gongsun Xuanyuan suddenly showed a look of disappointment on his face.
“Brother Wei, I thought Qingmei that besides those things, you also knew the technology of looms.”
"etc."
Ye Qingmei’s eyes widened and she said with a look of shock: “Does Qin Jun have all the technology for textile machines?”
As a time traveler, Ye Qingmei naturally knew that the birth of the Jenny spinning machine opened the prelude to the industrial revolution, but Qin Hao had invented the spinning machine at the end of the Han Dynasty 1,500 years ahead of schedule. This was achieved by his own efforts. Set off the rhythm of the industrial revolution.
With this thought, Ye Qingmei couldn't help but realize the gap between herself and Qin Hao. She only wanted to benefit one party, but Qin Hao had already changed the world because of him.
How come there is such a big gap between people who are both time travellers?
“Brother, tell me carefully what skills the Qin army has that other princes don’t have.” Ye Qingmei asked quickly.
"Let me think about it. By the way, there are also MSG, soy sauce, and vinegar. Qin Jun's steel-making method is also much more advanced than other princes. In short, Qin Jun always comes up with something new every once in a while. "
As he spoke, Gongsun Xuanyuan looked envious. If he had these things, he would never be homeless like he is now.
After Ye Qingmei heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. What has she been paying attention to these years?
These things were obviously not secrets. They were all in the intelligence network collected by the Liao Army. She could obviously reach out and check these things, but she just missed it. She was probably the slowest time traveler in history. Bar.
After learning this, Ye Qingmei found another reason why Wang Mang lost to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao has so many top civil servants and generals, as well as so much advanced technology, powerful military power and endless financial resources, it is strange that he would lose to Wang Mang.
Gongsun Xuanyuan looked at Ye Qingmei with a flattering look on his face and asked, "Good sister, do you really understand how to make colored glaze and soap?"
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Ye Qingmei replied weakly.
“Well, how about we be brothers, no, how about cooperating with the Gongsun family and doing business together?
Sister, you will provide your skills, and the Gongsun family will provide you with money to support your business. The money earned will be divided between the Gongsun family and four. No, three will be enough. "
Gongsun Xuanyuan didn't dare to ask for more, because even 30% was enough to support the Gongsun family, and only Qin Hao and Ye Qingmei had the skills, and there was no shop like this in this village.
Gongsun Xuanyuan is not a person who is unjust for profit. Even if he has huge wealth, he still does not think of robbing it by force. Instead, he cooperates with Ye Qingmei for mutual benefit and win-win situation.
The reason why Gongsun Xuanyuan did not mention white sugar is because the technology of white sugar has been mastered by many princes except the Qin army, and there is not much profit even if you buy it now. Ye Qingmei's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. Of course she also wanted to get the Gongsun family to become a shareholder. She was worried about how to tell her adopted brother, but she didn't expect him to take the initiative to bring it up.
"The Gongsun family contributes money and effort, so why not make a profit of 30%? Let's go with 50%."
“No, no, 50% is too much, let’s say 40%, no more.”
“Just 50%, it can’t be lower.”
After some prevarication, Gongsun Xuanyuan was still grateful and accepted Ye Qingmei's proposal of 50% profit sharing, but he didn't know that Ye Qingmei felt that he had taken advantage.
In Ye Qingmei's view, he has nothing to gain by talking nonsense. Even if he makes money with these technologies, he cannot keep it without the support of the Gongsun family.
But in Gongsun Xuanyuan's view, it was the Gongsun family that took advantage. After all, the technology Ye Qingmei mastered was irreplaceable, but partners like the Gongsun family could get as much as they wanted.
“That Qingmei, I have something else to do, I wonder if you are willing to do it.”
Seeing that Gongsun Xuanyuan's tone was a little hesitant, Ye Qingmei couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, just tell me what you have to say, why should I be polite to my little sister?"
“No, it’s nothing.”
Looking at Ye Qingmei's pure eyes, Gongsun Xuanyuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and opened his mouth to mention the marriage to Ye Qingmei.
“Forget it, let’s talk to Qingmei next time.”
Gongsun Xuanyuan decided to organize his words and then mention the matter to Ye Qingmei. After all, the marriage must be after the unification of Youzhou, so there is no rush to do it at this moment.
——————
At the same time, the two cities of Tuyin and Xuwu fell, the entire 20,000 Han army was wiped out, and the news that Cheng Bushi committed suicide was spread back to Yanjing, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, as quickly as possible.
The ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty were shocked when they learned about it. After all, the two cities of Beiping and Beiping were fortified cities, and they were at the horns of each other. They were easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, there were a total of 20,000 troops. It took only a few days for this to happen. How could the entire army be wiped out so quickly?
The two emotions of disbelief and uneasiness spread rapidly in Yanjing City.
But after learning the exact information, everyone from the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty to the people of Li fell silent.
The timing of the Qin army's arrival was too coincidental. It happened to be at the point where Cheng Wushi transferred Xu Wu's troops to stop the Qing army. As a result, Xu Wu County's troops were extremely empty, and the army was captured by Jia before they could return. It was broken again.
Who should be blamed for this?
The order to resist the Manchus with all their strength was given by Emperor Liu Che himself. Can he be blamed?
If the fall of Xu Wu County can only be said to be an accident and bad luck, then the fall of Tuyin City was a heavy hammer that shocked everyone in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Out of the 18,000-strong army, 17,000 were captured and another 1,000 died from cannibalism, while the total casualties of the Qin army were only a dozen.
How stupid a person must be to achieve such a record?
Countless ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty scolded Cheng Bushi for being incompetent and harming the country, but no matter how much they scolded, it was too late. The 20,000-strong army had been wiped out, and Cheng Bushi had already committed suicide by committing suicide.
