"Ning Wen, tell my aunt the truth, did Xiao Hanxiang settle in the perfume workshop?"

The Baihua Dew was no longer possible. Ning Wen planned to make rose dew, so he named the workshop a perfume workshop. It is a very easy-to-understand name. It produces perfume brewed by various flowers. There are only roses at present. Let’s talk about the others when spring begins. Ning Wen wants to build a greenhouse, but he has not had time to consider this issue.

Aunt Qin was not easy to fool. Ning Wen regretted it when he saw the previous attitude of entering the house. Sure enough, there was no way to hide this from them.

"Well, uh, that's that... who is Xiao Hanxiang?"

Ning Wendie struggled desperately and had to try again.

"Hehe, Ning Wen, my Huaiyu is honest. I told my aunt the day before yesterday. Did you even ambush him?"

Ning Wen didn't dare to look around, and looked at Aunt Qin in a daze. Aunt Qin was obviously lying, and a trace of dazedness flashed in his eyes, and Ning Wen discovered it.

"What ambush? Hehe, what happened to my aunt today? Isn't my nephew understand?"

Ning Wen knew that Aunt Qin was slandering him, so he became confident and continued to pretend to be stupid.

"Forget it if you don't understand. Your aunt planned to put Xiao Hanxiang in the workshop. Since there is nothing wrong, let's forget it."

“…”

Jiang is still so old that she blocked Ning Wen's mouth this time. Ning Wen had no choice but to decide. Besides, Aunt Qin just paid some money and would not participate in the management. As for whom Ning Wen used to manage, she couldn't ask. At most, she would ask Huaiyu to ask. Isn't this a legitimate change?

They are all their own family, so the procedures are simple. Originally, Aunt Qin was unwilling to go to the county government to sign documents, but Ning Wen was very determined, not to be apart, mainly because he was afraid that someone would keep an eye on the Ning family. According to the requirements of the industrial and commercial administration of the Tang Dynasty, joint-stock enterprises must go to the government office to file. Aunt Qin still knew the strength of it, so she did not insist.

Immediately the next day, the Du family, Fang family, Cheng family, Cui Shuai, Li Jingye, Li Ke and others came to Ning Mansion. They were so charming. Even the aunts and aunts who often talked to the Ning family shut up, but they just surrounded them in a distance and looked here, not knowing what they would gossip about after today.

Ning Wen led everyone into the house and greeted them with good wine and food. These people would choose the time. Seeing that lunch time was just coming, I guess I had agreed and waited to come over to have a drink and have a meal.

There is no way, they are customers, so they can come whenever they want. The business matters are just like the Qin family. They signed a shareholding cooperation agreement and sat down to chat.

"The Turkic side is not going well!"

Mr. Cheng paid attention to the Turkic war every day. After eating a few bowls of wine, he pulled Du Xiang and then started chatting.

It’s not that Ning Wen has anything to do. He winked with Cui Shuai, Li Jingye, and Li Ke, and escaped from the scene separately. It was awkward to stay inside. It was still a comfortable drinking in the back garden. No elders talked to us, and the wine was also pleasant to drink.

"Have you heard that, his father is having trouble with Jingye!"

Handsome Cui looked around the world and listened to everything. He knew a little about everything, and he asked for it very well.

"Hey, it's winter, our Tang Dynasty soldiers are not accustomed to the local conditions, and they are frostbite alone. I guess this war will have to wait until the beginning of spring."

Hey, it’s strange. Didn’t you say that you directly captured Jie Li Khan? Why did you have to wait until the fifth year of Zhenguan? Ning Wen thought to himself!

There is obvious logistical problem. The soldiers are equipped with armor, but there is no winter clothes to keep warm. This is a very serious seasonal problem in ancient wars. Therefore, except for the south, generally in the north, wars in the north choose spring offensives, and then end as much as possible before winter so as not to stand the freezing and eventually retreat.

"Brother Cui Shi, have you heard of cotton?"

Ning Wen took a sip of wine and asked Mr. Cui. This guy must know about cotton. The Ning family also has it, but it is all expensive.

"Cotton, there are, we grow it at home. It should be a good thing, but cotton seeds are hard to take off, so it is not very useful."

This guy has developed a habit. If Ning Wen mentions anything, this guy will be very energetic and full of profiteering.

"Oh, let's go and have a look another day, come, Brother Cui Shi, have a drink."

"Don't, Brother Ning has thought of something good again?"

Handsome Cui stopped and looked at Ning Wen happily. He couldn't hide it from him. So Ning Wen revealed the benefits of cotton. There was no need to keep it secret. They were all his brothers.

"Ah, cotton is so useful. This robe with cotton is really warmer than fur clothes?" Brother Jingye didn't believe it. They were all wearing leather and fur clothes for the winter. They had never heard of it or seen a cotton jacket. It seems that they had to try to make one first.

"That's right, if our Tang soldiers can wear cotton jackets, they will no longer be afraid of the war in the cold winter. Oh, if the logistics support of our Tang army can keep up, let alone **, even Tubo will not be a problem."

Not only winter, the individual equipment of the soldiers is not considered standard at all, and then the distribution of food and grass, the organization of chariots and horses, the equipment of bows, arrows, and crossbows, etc. are not perfect. The main reason is the system problem of the Ministry of War. There are so many yamen and so many sergeants under the Ministry of War. After all, they should have their own division of labor and responsibilities must be clarified. Otherwise, if you lose the battle, you will blame the generals who lead the troops. This is reasonable.

Ning Wen was telling them the importance of logistics support. Before he knew it, several figures stood behind him. The three old guys actually ran out. Cheng Yaoshi seemed to be drunk and patted Ning Wen's shoulder desperately, praising Ning's civilized affairs. He called us all such good things about making money, and was loyal.

"The young man of the Ning family actually understands the importance of supply. It seems that the Ning family has also become a general. Haha."

"Well, it's not bad. Let me tell you a few. Don't be afraid. You'll say whatever you think of. It's not in Tai Chi Hall. It's okay if you're wrong."

Du Xiang was polite and Li Jingye was also very aware. Ning Wen quickly gave up his seat and took a side.

He was talking too much, Ning Wen wanted to slap himself twice, saying that he was logistics support, wasn't he trying to find trouble for himself?

"Hehe, I'm just thinking about it all by myself. I can't get enough of my uncles, so I'll stop yelling."

"What are you afraid of? Although your Ning family's ancestors were civil officials and never practiced martial arts, what Nephew Ning just said was a bit meaningful. Don't be afraid, explain it to your uncles."

Fang Xiang said softly that Fang Xuanling is more kinder than Du Xiang, but his momentum is more majestic than Du Xiang. It is probably because Du Xiang is sick all year round and lacks energy.

"Spidery, like a woman!"

There was no way, Ning Wen briefly explained the importance of logistics work to several important officials of the Tang Dynasty.

"In winter, soldiers in the north must be equipped with cotton coats, cotton hats, cotton gloves, and soldiers in the south must be equipped with velvet coats, velvet pants. This outfit alone must be divided into spring, summer and winter. The weapons and armor on each soldier must be carefully considered in detail according to the types of troops. For example, swords and spearmen are involved in close combat, armor must be excellent, and archers attack long-rangely. The armor does not need to be too heavy in armor, and it is mainly used to carry arrows. Cavalry not only soldiers need armor, but also horses. All soldiers' swords, guns, swords and halberds need to be uniformly made, unified equipment, and the transportation of food and grass also requires standard chariots and horses, which are more solid than ordinary chariots and horses."

Ning Wen drank a sip of wine to moisten his throat. Several bosses stared at Ning Wen to see what Ning Wen had to say. Anyway, I don’t know if it was right. Ning Wen combined the logistics things he saw during military training with the Tang Dynasty.

"Including the wood, charcoal and pots and bowls for cooking, all of which are customized. From siege cars to the shoes and socks of soldiers, they all need to be built and preserved. Once war begins, they will be equipped. In this way, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be worried about being frozen and hungry."

In fact, there is still a lot of logistics work, but Ning Wen couldn't think of so much for a while, and there was no system when he said this. He said whatever he thought of, just for these important officials to understand.

"Well, Guangcheng's concern is the problem, but this standard equipment costs a lot. Now that the national treasury is empty, it is difficult to implement it for a while, so it is very difficult to do so."

Fang Xuanling was a little worried. After all, he was in charge of the Tang Dynasty's money and grain. When it comes to spending money, the Minister of Finance felt a little uncomfortable.

"It's not a one-day or two-day achievement. If today's son Shengming is poor and has been poor for 30 or 50 years, he will surely achieve something. Haha, nephew, it's not bad, the younger generation is so terrifying!"

The so-called "Fang Scheme" Du Duan, Du Ruhui said more practically. According to his plan, the Tang Dynasty will be able to arrest the logistics work in thirty or fifty years later. In fact, it is a problem of money. The problem that money can solve is not a problem. Many people in later generations said that it is the same in the Tang Dynasty. If you want to spend money, you must find a way to make more money. It is definitely not possible to rely on that little tax.
