Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

"My man, if he leaves, we won't let anyone talk about it."

The families of these dead soldiers were grieving, and when they saw Zhang He was still alive and kicking, and telling them to be quiet in a cold voice, they couldn't help but yelled at him.

Zhang He ignored her lazily and said loudly: "Brother Mo said that they are all decent men and are role models for everyone to learn from. Although they are dead, the Shen Yong Guard will remember them forever.

Wang Shi's meritorious service in protecting food was rewarded consistently, and he sacrificed heroically. He received three ounces of pension, three jins of meat, and ten jins of rice. Other brothers who sacrificed their lives to protect food were also rewarded with a reward of three guan, three jins of meat, and ten jins of rice. Those who were injured were rewarded as much as five kilograms of rice. "

As soon as he finished speaking, there were people from the Shenyong Guard beside him. They took out four strings of money and grain from the mule cart and placed them next to Wang Shi's wife.

Four thousand copper coins hit the ground with a dull thud, which even shocked the hearts of the villagers who were watching.

Although the money and food cannot make up for the pain of the deceased's family, it can greatly comfort the other person's heart. For the villagers watching, and for the other members of the Shen Yong Guard, it will make them feel valued from the bottom of their hearts.

"In addition, Brother Mo also said that any soldier of the Shen Yong Guard who died for some reason and had children will be raised by the village until he reaches adulthood and taught how to read and digit. In addition, the funeral of the dead soldiers will be decided by the village. Responsible."

After the words fell, the villagers were in an uproar.

The reason why the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had a low status was that people were not willing to become soldiers.

It's just because of the poor treatment that I have to bear the expenses myself, the pension is pitifully low, and there is no preferential treatment from my family.

Over time, the people will naturally have a strong sense of resistance to being a soldier.

But what Zhang He said now broke their conventional impression of "soldiers".

For a while, the villagers thought that the brave guard was better.

Generally speaking, for the people of the Song Dynasty, especially in today's troubled times, death is already a part of life, it is too common, and they have a strong ability to accept death.

Because the concept of most of them is that as long as they are treated well, they will die and their families can survive.

In the afternoon, a smell that made people want to vomit spread almost throughout the village.

In the nitrate factory next to the sulfur factory, a large pot was set up, and water was boiling in the pot.

Han Wu and Zhang He stood aside, each holding a large spoon, and added the urine from the pool into the pot one by one.

Chen Mo stood aside and poured a bucket of plant ash into it.

Then he took a big wooden stick and started stirring.

As the water temperature continued to rise, a disgusting pungent smell suddenly emitted.

Zhang He and Han Wu choked with tears. They retched and coughed. Finally, they couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Brother Mo, we are so good, why are you boiling urine? The smell is so bad, I can't stand it anymore." "

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Chen Mo glared at them and said.

After all, whether saltpeter can be extracted depends on this trembling.

If he remembered correctly, there is saltpeter in urine. After heating, the nitrate in the saltpeter will dissolve into the water, and then... (I never expected that the manufacturing process would be deleted.)

Finally add it to an airtight container and it becomes a soil bomb.

If you want to increase the power, just...

Zhang He and Han Wu did not dare to disobey Chen Mo's order, so they could only suppress their nausea and keep adding urine to the pot.

Time passes little by little.

Chen Mo uses a spoon to filter out the impurities floating on it, and then it can be cooled down.

"Okay, you can stop for a while and turn off the engine." Chen Mo said.

After hearing Chen Mo's words, the two people quickly put out the fire at the bottom of the pot, then rushed out of the saltpeter factory, taking in the fresh air outside.

The sun sets.

In the saltpeter factory, Chen Mo's excited laughter could be heard: "Hahaha, it's done, it's done, I'm finally done, the chemistry teacher will never deceive me."

Outside the factory, Han Wu and Zhang He heard Chen Mo's laughter and thought that Chen Mo was crazy. They quickly went out to check and saw Chen Mo dancing and dancing while looking at the "white frost" in front of him.

It’s done, the saltpeter is available.

Then getting gunpowder is simple.

Sure enough, there is a saying that goes well, learn physics well, and you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world.

Chen Mo put the extracted nitrate into a clay pot, then hugged the pot and returned home humming a tune.

Zhang He and Han Wu were left with puzzled faces.

After putting the clay pot at home, Chen Mo took his clothes and went to the river to take a bath.

…

At night, in the master bedroom, Chen Mo was particularly excited.

No matter how broad your mind is, you can't escape his Wuzhishan. Han Anniang snorted and put her hands around Chen Mo's neck. Her body was tense, her waist was arched, her hair was disheveled, her head was also tilted back, and her slender legs were curled up even more. incredible.

"Sister-in-law, I have something to ask you to help with." Chen Mo kissed Han Anniang's collarbone and said.

At this moment, Han Anniang's cheeks were as red as clouds, her nose was slightly twitching, her eyes with glistening eyes were lowered, and she snorted: "My family and my uncle are one family, so there is no need to help."

"I'm going to open a grocery store at the back of the village, and you'll help run it. Didn't you say before that Brother Qi's mother wanted to sell fish, and Zhang Fusheng's wife wanted to trade shoes for food? They can both be sold in the grocery store. When the time comes, you will settle with copper coins." Chen Mo said.

"But what they want is food."

"This is simple. Then the grocery store will sell some daily necessities, such as grain, salt, etc., and let them buy them with money. In this way, others who want to buy fish or shoes can also come to the grocery store to buy them."

Later, the Warrior Guard will develop into a real army. Soldiers will definitely receive a monthly salary, and if they have money, they will naturally spend it. After they have enough food and clothing, they will start to think about other pursuits.

And this grocery store is very necessary.

And when the time comes, the money is back in his hands.

"Ah, I'm afraid that I can't manage it, and I don't know what fish is sold at what price."

"Ask the aunties in the village to help you and give them the money to start the work. If you don't know the price, just ask Hu Changsheng. He knows everything. Just let Min'er take care of the family matters."

There are too many women in the village who are idle, so we have to find something for them to do.

"good."

"And..." Chen Mo wanted to say more, but Han Anniang interrupted him: "Uncle, if you have anything to say, can you tell me later."

Chen Mo was startled, then pursed his lips and smiled. He patted the millstone, and Han Anniang slowly turned around and supported the window sill.
