Chapter 72 Conditions
There was a strange smell in Ruyin City. Many "pig-headed men" in strange clothes were spraying white mist everywhere with their pumps, and those strange smells came from these white mists.
The "pig-headed man" is actually a person wearing a bamboo charcoal gas mask and wearing a one-piece suit. The one-piece suit is rubbed with sulfur powder to prevent chicken lice from being on the body. They use a pump to suck "lief-killing spirits" from the wooden barrel on the cart and spray it everywhere.
There is a simple atomization nozzle on the head of the bamboo pump, which can atomize the sprayed liquid. The "little killing spirit" specializing in killing chicken lice has long been widely used in major chicken farms in Huangzhou. It uses spray to kill lice, and the effect is very good.
However, when the chicken farm eliminates lice, its working area is not large. To kill lice in Ruyin City, a lot of manpower and material resources are required. Therefore, a five-person lice removal team can be seen everywhere in the city. They strictly divide the "grid area" and eliminate lice one by one on the "grid".
The Ruyin defenders have been destroyed, and all the people in the city have been transferred to special camps to kill lice and stay temporarily. Therefore, at this time, there was no one else in Ruyin City except the lice-killing team.
Whether on the streets or at the alleys, whether it is thatched houses or brick houses, whether it is private houses or wealthy families, the lice killing team will not miss any corners, and the city is full of chicken shit, which is also the target of their cleaning.
Chicken lice can survive for several months in chicken feathers mixed with chicken feathers, so if you want to kill lice, these chicken lice as their carrier must also be cleaned. Before the lice removal work is completed, idle people and others are not allowed to enter Ruyin City without permission to avoid the spread of chicken lice on a large scale.
The continuous spraying of lice-killing spirits in the city made the air filled with a strange smell, and the outside of the city was also filled with this smell. It was a belt of medicine powder that was around the city and reached one step in width, surrounding Ruyin.
Medicinal powder and medicine are precautions that must be taken to prevent the spread of chicken lice and "escape" and are also a prerequisite for the release of "lost lice" combat. Otherwise, once a lice bomb is transported and unexpected during use, the unlucky one will be your own people.
Several people were whispering at the outer edge of the medicine powder belt, one of which was Zhang Yu, a lieutenant of the Xiyang Palace. At this time, he was talking in a low voice with a middle-aged man.
"I said Lao Lei, can this lice-killing spirit really kill chicken lice quickly?"
"Take it seriously! The chicken farm is pointing at this thing to kill lice!"
"Why is it not necessarily effective to use fleas to kill them?" Zhang Yu complained, "Last time... I went there in Guangcheng patrol camp, and I was fucked with fleas. It's useless to use your lice-killing spirit!"
"Oh, my lice-killing spirit is used to deal with chicken lice. Where can I use it to deal with fleas... Well, Lieutenant Zhang, the king didn't get involved with fleas at that time, right?"
"No, no, how could the king get involved in fleas? Haha..."
Zhang Yu has developed shamelessness and does not blush when he lies in public. This time he was ordered by Yuwen Wen to supervise the removal of lice, so what should be solved must be clear.
The middle-aged man who talked to him was named Lei Quan, who was the owner of a chicken farm in Huangzhou. Because the chickens he raised were often harmed by chicken lice, he figured out a good medicine for killing chicken lice. Now he is instructing the site to eliminate lice, striving to eliminate all the chicken lice in Ruyin City in a short period of time.
There are many chicken farms in Huangzhou, and many people make money by raising chickens, but it is not easy to run chicken farms. In order to maximize profits, each chicken farm raises a lot of chickens. If a chicken plague breaks out, it will die. In addition, chicken lice are also a headache for chicken farmers.
A chicken lice grows on its body, and the chicken lice will follow this chicken for the rest of its life. The chicken lice reproduces very quickly, which can easily make the chicken farm lose all its money. Lei Quan himself originally planned to cherish the "little-killing spirit", but someone came to him to give him a bigger way of wealth.
The man invested a huge amount of money to jointly produce lice-killing medicine with Lei Quan, and also provided raw materials such as sulfur, made lice-killing spirits in batches and sold them to various chicken farms at reasonable prices. Lei Quan made a fortune by doing this, and the only thing he had to do every day was to count money.
He had great experience in killing chicken lice, so he was invited to Ruyin to guide the killing of lice. Because it was the King of Xiyang that Lei Quan was flattered and did not dare to be careless, let alone the medicines used to kill lice this time, and the powders were all their own products. The amount was so large that his workshop made a lot of money.
Although he didn't know why there were so many chicken lice in Ruyin City, Lei Quan had absolute confidence in his lice-killing spirit. As long as the dose was enough, even if the whole city was full of chicken lice, he could wipe it out completely.
Ask what should be asked, and what should be explained must be explained. Seeing that there was no outsider at the scene, Zhang Yu explained to Lei Quan: "Old Lei, you are a clever person. This time you come to Ruyin, you should know what to say and what not to say after you go back?"
"Lt. Zhang relaxed, Lei knew the interests."
"Well, you know, if... ahem, I will not be me who comes to you then."
"I know, I know, I know."
Of course, Lei Quan knew what to say and what not to say, just like the person he knew was probably from the Xiyang Prince's Mansion, but he did not reveal it to anyone, even his wife and children did not know it.
The King of Xiyang brought everyone to make a fortune, and everyone knew it clearly. It was boring to say thanksgiving all day long, and it was true that it was thankful to support the King of Xiyang with practical actions.
The King of Xiyang continued to win battles outside, and merchants and workshop owners from all over Huangzhou made a fortune no matter which business they worked, because the government did not requisition various military supplies for free, but spent money to acquire them. The prerequisite was that they could not cut corners and could not follow the rules.
With such a generous "customer", who would not be able to prepare goods desperately? Who would dare to follow the superiority of the supplies that the King of Xiyang wants? The first one of the fellow travelers would not spare him.
No one wants the King of Xiyang to lose, so as long as the other party opens his mouth, everyone has money to pay, and someone has money to pay, so there is no ambiguity, and Lei Quan is no exception.
This time, a large amount of lice-killing spirits were used. Lei Quan originally planned to not have a penny and provide it to the government army for free, but the King of Xiyang had to pay, so he decided to do his best to kill lice, and he must eliminate the chicken lice in Ruyin City before the deadline.
While talking, dozens of cavalrymen from the military camp in the distance were out of the camp and galloped eastward. Judging from their uniforms, they seemed to be soldiers of Chen. Lei Quan saw this scene, although he was confused, he did not ask.
You cannot ask what you shouldn't ask, and you must never say what you shouldn't say. This is the prerequisite for obtaining the support of the King of Xiyang, and Lei Quan is very clear.
......
In Qicheng, Fan Yi was listening to the envoy's report. The Zhou army captured Ruyin not long ago. The speed was shocking him, but what followed was worry. Fan Yi was worried that Zhou (Yuwen) would turn against him. If he dealt improperly, it would lead to a vain injustice on his head.
Since the Guangling victory, the Chen army has been recapturing Huainan with great fanfare. Yuwen's family cannot be unaware of this situation. Shi Wansui, the chief general of the Zhou army who had previously stationed in Lujiang, emphasized many times that Zhou State had no intention of competing with Chen State for Ruyin.
As a result, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen took the lead in capturing Ruyin, which means that the other party broke his promise and led his army to station in Qicheng to recover Ruyin. If Fan Yi did not act tough, someone in the court would take the opportunity to throw sewage, saying that he was cowardly and incompetent, and was disgraced from his army and humiliated the country.
However, if his troops under his command clash with the Zhou army, not to mention whether they can fight or not, once the war begins, there will be people in the court taking the opportunity to pour sewage, saying that he will destroy the alliance between the two countries.
Fan Yi felt a dilemma, so he sent an envoy to see Yuwen Wentan to vent his anger, and then decided how to deal with it next. Now that the envoy has returned, he brought back the other party's statement.
When the envoy met the King of Xiyang, the other party's answer was clear: Chen State wanted Ruyin and Zhou State could return it, but a person who could make the decision must come to interview him and discuss the conditions for returning Ruyin.
The envoy also brought back the letter from King Xiyang. Fan Yi read it carefully several times. What King Xiyang said in the letter was indeed consistent with what the envoy said. He put down the letter and pondered.
