Chapter 336
Suddenly, Su Chen felt that he had made a big loss. He should be able to extract white sugar from white sugar without the system giving him a method.
White sugar?
"One nitrate, two phosphorus, three charcoal, add some white sugar, Ivan? A weapon of peace?"
Suddenly, Su Chen slapped the table and stood up, looking very excited!
"Although phosphorus is a good flammable substance, it is not easy to get. It can only be found in the rotten bones of humans or animals.
It is what people often call ghost fire.
You can also use sulfur, sulfur?"
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing..."
Su Chen stretched out his hand to interrupt Li Chengqian, "Quickly send someone to catch up with Atana and tell him that this time in Xinjiang, in addition to white folds, he will only look for a yellow stone.
This kind of thing is very common near the crater. A volcano is a mountain with fire coming out of the ground."
As he said, Su Chen took out a special card and directly displayed the video of the volcanic eruption he had seen in his previous life and the sulfur stone on the front and back of the card.
When a volcano erupts, the gas emitted contains sulfur, which forms sulfur stone after condensation.
Sulfur does not need to be extracted, it can be used directly after being crushed.
But not all volcanic eruptions will form complete sulfur stones, you have to try your luck.
"Brother-in-law, wait a minute, don't get excited, what Xinjiang are you talking about?" Li Chengqian stood up and comforted Su Chen to calm down.
"Xinjiang is the Western Regions, you should send someone to chase them now." Su Chen urged, and handed the card to Li Chengqian.
"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to chase them now, they should not be far from Chang'an." Atana just left Chang'an this morning, and he should be able to catch up in one day.
Li Chengqian hurriedly took the card to find the prince's guards,
"Hiss, what's the ratio? 75% saltpeter, 15% sulfur, 10% charcoal, it should be about the same, if it doesn't work, just try a few more times.
Hahaha... If you get that thing, the reward will definitely be generous!"
Immediately, Su Chen calmed down and thought about the main task.
Food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care and education have also improved a bit. Only clothes have not been made. The rest can be popularized.
"Hehe, plant two more seasons of sweet potatoes and potatoes. The population of the Tang Dynasty is tens of millions, so there should be no hunger. In addition, there is Champa rice.
Well, maybe I can complete the three-year task in two years, hahaha..."
In ancient times, if the people had enough food and clothing and had a house to live in, it was considered a rich country and a strong people. There is no need to compare it with the technological era of later generations.
Su Chen stopped treating tasks as tasks very early. He felt more like playing a game.
Start with a map and then slowly develop on the map.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the optional task. You can accept or refuse. The task is as follows:
Destroy a country, and the reward for completing the task is: steam engine model.
The time limit is one year!
Please choose whether to accept or not within one hour."
Su Chen was very excited when he heard the "ding". The result was that the task was issued and he was asked to destroy a country.
"Xiao Le, come out, let's have a good chat."
[Brother Chen, please tell me what's going on!]
"Which country do you think the Tang Dynasty can destroy now, not defeat."
[I don't know this Xiao Le!]
"Then... go and have fun, it's okay." Su Chen heard Li Chengqian's hurried footsteps.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll send out more than a hundred people, I believe there will be results by this time tomorrow."
Li Chengqian just transferred some of the guards outside the manor, and he didn't bring that many guards this time.
Su Chen nodded and asked seriously.
"With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, which country do you think can be destroyed?"
Huh?
Li Chengqian was startled, this was not in line with Su Chen's previous character.
But seeing that Su Chen didn't seem to be joking, Li Chengqian thought seriously and analyzed several countries around the Tang Dynasty.
"Let me first tell you about the current situation of some powerful countries around the Tang Dynasty.
To the north of the Tang Dynasty is the Eastern Turks, and further north is the Xueyantuo.
The Eastern Turks are not a concern, but it is difficult to destroy them, because it is impossible to find the main force of Jie Li Khan and where the yamen is located.
The Xueyantuo is separated from the Tang Dynasty by the Eastern Turks, so it is even more impossible to send troops to destroy the country.
As for the Tubo and the Western Regions in the west, it is not suitable for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize troops with them in the current situation, otherwise it may be attacked by many small countries in the Western Regions.
Can you understand what I said?"
Li Chengqian explained to Su Chen the forces that dominated the two directions of the northwest of the Tang Dynasty.
Su Chen thought carefully and shook his head. "You missed a country."
"Where?"
"Shuofang!"
Su Chen has always been puzzled. In the fourth month of the second year of Zhenguan in the official history, the brothers Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun should have destroyed Shuofang and changed Shuofang to Xiazhou.
Xue Wanche is Xue Wanjun's younger brother, who made a great contribution in that battle.He was awarded the title of Grand Commander of Lingzhou for his great merit.
However, Shuofang is still shown on the map, and the place is not very big, close to the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks.
In later generations, it belonged to Shaanxi Province.
"Shuofang? I forgot about it. Shuofang was split off during the chaos when the rebels were everywhere at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and later had close contacts with the Eastern Turks."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and asked curiously: "Why? Did Shuofang offend you, Lord? Do you want to destroy it?"
Su Chen nodded, "Yes, I want to destroy it, what do you think?"
"This... I can't make the decision. If we attack Shuofang in the north, the Eastern Turks will definitely send troops to rescue it. You have to discuss it with your father." Li Chengqian waved his hand.
"Of course I know that the Eastern Turks will send troops to help, and they will send troops from all directions to rescue.
But they were all blocked by Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun. Shuofang was easy to defeat, but the city wall was not easy to break!"
"Well, this matter is not urgent, we will slowly figure it out later."
Li Chengqian nodded in agreement, "I have a question to ask you. You let me be in charge of the Royal Bank. Who should I send as the president of the bank?
How about Fang Xuanling?"
"Uncle Fang is of course good, but I suggest you find Ma Zhou." Su Chen gave his opinion.
Li Chengqian: "Why?"
"Because... Ma Zhou is young!" Su Chen said without hesitation.
Li Chengqian raised his thumb and said, "What you said makes sense!"
[Ding! Please choose as soon as possible whether to accept the optional task. 】
There is no doubt that Su Chen accepted the task.
"By the way, the white sugar you mentioned earlier is related to sugarcane?" Li Chengqian remembered the white sugar Su Chen mentioned earlier.
"Well, white sugar. It's made from sugar cane. Keep it secret!"
Su Chen thought it was necessary to remind him that it was better not to make the white sugar process public.
"When does the sugar cane in Lingnan usually mature?"
After a brief thought, Li Chengqian replied:
"It is also available now, but the general maturity period is in mid-November."
"Oh, then you remember it. Once it matures, send someone to purchase a large amount of sugar cane to Chang'an."
Li Chengqian nodded, picked up the paper and pen to write a letter again, and then sent someone to send it to the palace.
"Have you finished writing? Let's go out. They are about to finish school. I will take you to see the shower room after dinner."
Li Chengqian wrote the letter and folded it in half, and said casually:
"Oh, it's the toilet you built recently. I heard my father mention it."
Su Chen was irritated. Why did these people look down on his shower room?
Insisting on calling it a toilet!
"Fuck! From now on, anyone can use this shower room, but you are forbidden to use it!"
Li Chengqian: "Uh, is it too late for me to change my words?"
"Too late!"
