Qin Chuan, Luo Zixi and others talked for more than an hour.

After leaving Qinchuan, Luo Zixi and the other two immediately returned to the Heishan Fort Laboratory and began to prepare for the study of fertilizers.

Under Qin Chuan's instructions, Yan Sanqi set up an exploration team to explore all the mineral deposits in the territory, no matter what mines they are, dig samples, and send them to the Heishan Fort Laboratory.

Qin Chuan would give Luo Zixi and others enough resources and staff. In addition to bringing three apprentices one by one, he would also give them two maids to take care of their daily life, so as not to be sloppy all day long.

After Luo Zixi and the other two returned to Heishan Fort, Qin Chuan went to the pot factory.

The business road has been completely cut off. Even if Qin Chuan went out to kill and plunder, it turned out that the merchants did not dare to trade with Lou Fan anymore. Therefore, the iron farm and the pot factory also accumulated a large amount of inventory.

Yan Sanqi once suggested reducing production or even stopping production because it could not be sold if it was produced.

However, Qin Chuan insisted on continuing to maintain production and asked Chen Zhan to build several new warehouses in Loufan, specifically for storing iron materials and iron pots.

After three or four months, after occupying the Hetao area, I was not worried about the sales of iron pots.

The Khalkha tribe, Yarkand, Moxiwei Lat tribes, etc., these northern nomadic peoples are extremely short of iron pots. They can be said to have as much as they want, and they can consume Qinchuan's inventory at an extremely fast speed.

The business road on the Ming Dynasty... cannot be restored in a short period of time. The business road on Yang Yexing in Dezhou was temporarily cut off, and the shipyard was put on hold, and the one million silver had been shipped back to Loufan.

The business road in Wang Helun in Shaanxi was also broken. Even though Wang Helun had a fleet, the west bank of the Yellow River was full of Ming troops, so he did not dare to run up to seek death at this moment.

Each of these trade channels could bring Qinchuan 5,000 to 10,000 stones of grain, as well as copper, lead and tin, paper, silk and other materials.

Now that it has been suddenly cut off, the losses caused are insignificant.

But now is not the time to go to full war with the Ming court, so I can only endure it for the time being.

After staying in Heishan for two days and inspecting several factories and coal mines in mines, Qin Chuan drove back to Heishan Fort.

He hasn't come back for nearly two months.

Wen Suxin's belly was obviously bulging. Qin Chuan talked with her for a while, then hugged Li Yueru into the house, and asked this little girl who used to be so pungent and unruly with a kitchen knife in her hand, but now she is like a quail to put on her bridal clothes.

After a series of battles, he had to rest for a while.

The Guandi Army should take advantage of this winter to rest.

...

Qin Chuan stayed at home for two days, making trouble for Li Yueru all day long, and then talked with Wen Suxin, discussing how many more concubines to take.

Because Li Yueru is still a little tender and cannot withstand Qin Chuan's troubles.

On the third day, Qin Chuan walked out of the inner yard while yawning, rubbing his sore waist.

He first went to the offices of various departments to listen to the reports and comforted the officials of various departments. After wandering around for a few times, he walked out of Heishan Fort and headed towards the martial arts field by the Fen River.

The most noisy thing in Loufan is the martial arts venue, with slogans, beatings and scoldings, and noises almost every day.

Recently, the noise has been louder than before, because Loufan has 15,000 new recruits and more than 14,000 surrendered soldiers from the Ming army.

To this end, officials from the Military Affairs Department not only doubled the martial arts field, but also opened two new martial arts field nearby, because the old martial arts field really could not accommodate so many people.

Now, in the expanded old martial arts field, there are 5,000 new recruits and 5,000 surrendered soldiers in the training. The coaches are officers and trainees from the various battalions.

As soon as Qin Chuan approached, he heard a slogan, and there seemed to be a few screams mixed with them.

This time, the one who was beaten was a surrendered man. He was tall and thin, with a hunched back and a very rude face. He looked like a thorny head. When he was kicked by an instructor without a battalion, he gritted his teeth and looked unconvinced.

So the instructor beat him even harder and whipped his legs and made the guy roll all over the ground.

"Disspect Shangguan and run five miles with a heavy burden."

As soon as the tall man got up, the instructor stood in front of him with the training stick and said coldly.

"Why?"

The tall man still looked dissatisfied and his hatred became even stronger.

"Just rely on the four words "Military orders are like a mountain."

"Hmph! I'll use a chicken feather as an arrow, and I'll talk about military orders all day long."

"Disregard military orders and run five miles with another burden."

"You... you're too fucking bullying! I won't run away. What can you do to me? At worst, I can't go back to Jingping Castle and I'm too lazy to be angry with you."

Speaking of this, the tall man simply turned his face and opened his throat and shouted: "Who is willing to go back with me by my brother? Let's say, let's go back and live a happy life. Only when I'm full and I'm overeating, I'll practice the roster of the silly balls here."

Hearing his words, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

A short moment later, someone suddenly responded: "I'll go back with you."

"I'll go back with you, too."

"Damn it, it's better to have so much salary than you can break the rules. If you don't take this army, I'll stop doing it. Whoever likes to do it."

"I came from Lin County. Have my brothers from Lin County gone back with me?"

These surrendered soldiers were used to the days of loose military discipline and suddenly received strict discipline. Many people couldn't adapt to it. They almost had a heart and had gone to mining. Most of them were angry in their hearts until now. Many people had already started to sway and might not be able to hold on at any time.

The tall man said something like a gunpowder barrel igniting. The martial arts performance venue was suddenly full of chaos, with concurrences one after another, and many people wanted to leave.

The instructor did not say a word to stop him, but looked at them quietly with a sneer.

The hundreds of Guandi troops who maintained order around immediately raised shield walls and were ready to fight with javelins in hand. Two rapid whistles suddenly sounded on the wall of the Heishan Fortress not far away, and soon the sound of rapid footsteps and the officers shouted again.

This is the Montenegro Fort defenders gathering quickly.

On the other side of the martial arts field, Cao Gui quickly passed through the crowd and strode towards the scene.

Although he was appointed as a general by Qin Chuan, he not only had to study in the martial arts lecture hall, but also had to undergo training like other soldiers. He just formed a queue with other surrendered officers on the other side of the martial arts training ground.

When the commotion first started, he didn't know what had happened, but after hearing the three words "Jingpingburg", he knew something was wrong.

He was originally the garrison of Jingping Fort, and he brought all the Ming troops from there.

When Cao Gui ran to the scene, he happened to see several old subordinates waving their fists and shouting passionately to return to Jingping Castle.

"Is it all fucking dead?"

Cao Gui was so angry that he rushed up and kicked the old subordinates to the ground.

He was quite prestigious in Jingping Fort, and he didn't want other generals to be as lazy as he was in charge of military management. He didn't dare to make rash decisions in front of him.

After these few kicks, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"This general, I am Cao Gui, these people are my old subordinates. What happened just now?"

Cao Gui asked politely at the instructor next to him.

The instructor politely replied: "It turns out that it is General Cao Shen, who is disrespectful and disrespectful. The last general Wudang camp commander Zhou Dezhi."

"General Cao Shen, the matter has come to light." The instructor named Zhou Dezhi pointed to the tall man, "This man did not obey the order and refused to change his mind. He taught him a lesson. As a result, he despised Shangguan, despised military law, and then... took the lead in mutiny."

Hearing this, Cao Gui's face changed, but he still politely thanked Zhou Dezhi.

Then, he rushed over and kicked the tall man to the ground with one kick.

"You're fucking dead, are you?"

"Disappeared Shangguan, despise military law, and took the lead in mutiny! Do you know what crime this is?"

"There are laborers at the worst, and the worst is beheading!"

Cao Gui scolded and kicked the tall man several times.

The man dared not speak, nor did he dare to fight back, and just curled up on the ground with his head in his arms.

Cao Gui kicked and beaten for a long time, and then he bowed to Zhou Dezhi on the side, saying, "Zhou Bashu, there are mutinies in Jingpingbao's army, please deal with it according to the regular military law."

"General Cao Shen is impartial and upright, and he will admire him."

"The Guandi Army is disciplined and has a mountain of military laws. Cao just adheres to military laws."

Speaking of this, Cao Gui turned around to face the old subordinates who were shouting loudly just now, and said coldly: "Before coming to Loufan, I told you that after joining the Guandi Army, you can't be like the past. If you come here, you have to abide by the rules and follow the orders. You can say yes."

"But now, what are you doing?"

"Do you know about beheading?"

"Yes, the training is a bit harder, and the military discipline is a bit stricter, but why is this for?"

"In order to win battles and save your lives, this is how the Guandi Army, which has won many battles and repeated battles."

"I won't say much. If you don't want to do it, get out. Don't waste General Qin's food and salary here."

After saying that, Cao Gui turned around and left.

But a few steps away, he suddenly found a group of soldiers in red armor and red clothes standing on the side of the scene, and the man in a mink coat, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Black Cao Gui, I have met the general."

Cao Gui hurriedly strode forward and knelt down on one knee.

"Get up."

The man was Qin Chuan, who smiled and waved his hand at Cao Gui.

"Thank you the general."

Cao Gui then stood up after holding his fists and saluted.

Qin Chuan smiled and patted his shoulder, then raised his foot and walked elsewhere: "Let's go, let's talk while walking."

"yes."

Cao Gui hurriedly followed.

"I don't know what the general has to give."
