The changes in the An family have nothing to do with Anne.

She is slowly expanding her educational landscape, and her student base is increasing at a rapid rate.

While Anne was teaching, she continued to find new sources of income for the village.

When she took her children to practice in the field, Anne stumbled upon a certain village with quartz mines.

It's not the kind of high-grade quartz sand that can be tempered into high-grade crystals, but very ordinary quartz sand.

It's nothing, because ordinary quartz sand can play a huge role in making glass!

Well, glass, through the old stalk of the rotten text, whether it is worn by men or women, as long as it goes to ancient times, no one will not think of this trick.

If quartz hadn't been discovered, Anne might not have used this old method.

But now that she has the conditions, wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't give full play to the natural advantages of the "crossing girl"?!

With so many tasks done, Anne's brain has long since become a knowledgeable and innumerable intelligent computer.

And in the vast amount of knowledge in her mind, it just so happened that there was a detailed industrial process for making glass.

Anne tidied up a little, removing the modern process and replacing it with the one of the era's crafts.

Subsequently, Anne experimented several times and repeatedly revised the production process, and finally got the best version.

She took the finished product and went to meet the leaders of the quartz mine.

Under her leadership and promotion, several villages formed a cooperative alliance, and everyone contributed people and money to make glass.

The stockade without quartz ore is in full swing when it sees that any glassware that can be sold at a sky-high price at the bottom of the mountain is transported out of the mountain in boxes, and then exchanged for a pile of gold and silver.

Oh my God, this is a real cornucopia.

Compared to this glass, the salt well in my house is not a fart.

The other leaders couldn't sit still, and ran to Anne's side to test their mouths, including Amon.

There is no way, there is no quartz mine in Mengzhai, and Amon can only watch "his" Mr. An, give advice to other villages, and then let those leaders earn back gold and silver.

Anne will not forget these people, she can get a foothold in the Southwest, and then accomplish her goals, and she needs the help of these people.

At the request of the chieftain, Anne began to inspect the various villages.

Not to mention, although these villages are located in remote areas and have primitive living conditions, they really have a lot of resources.

Anne also found out about gold and copper, but she didn't say anything.

Because she knew it was taboo.

The imperial court can allow the chiefs to claim hegemony in the remote mountains, because these places, in those noble places, are all wild places.

But once word came out, it was said that gold, silver, copper, and iron were buried under the surface of these wild lands.

Hehe, just look at it, you don't need the court to go out, those clans and gate valves won't let it go easily.

At that time, the nobles will forcibly evict the chiefs and villagers, and then seize the mines!

Not only will the villagers not get rich because they have discovered the treasure mine, but they will end up homeless and even die in Jiuquan.

Therefore, those precious metal deposits, Anne will never touch it, let alone let the leaders find out.

Fortunately, in addition to gold and silver mines, these villages also have other mineral deposits.

For example, coal mines!

At that time, most of the people burned charcoal and coal, but it was not yet widespread.

It's okay, Anne can help.

She followed the practice of the common people in the seventies and eighties, grinding coal cubes, mixing them with sediment, etc., to make briquettes, and then having people send them to the city to sell.

Briquettes are inferior to charcoal and will have thick smoke, but they are more resistant to burning than firewood.

Although it is more expensive than firewood, it is small in size and easier to store.

Anne devised a whole set of sales patterns, and those leaders ordered everyone to strictly follow them.

Slowly, the briquettes opened up sales in the city and began to radiate to other places.

Although the business of briquettes is not as profitable as glass, the threshold is low, and there is no need to take any risks.

For example, if you are not careful in transport, you will drop things.

Not to mention making money, it's good to be able to keep your book!

The briquettes are much cheaper, and even if they are broken, they can still be sold for money.

Moreover, the audience of briquettes is large, and they can also flow for a long time, which will continue to bring wealth to the leaders.

Having made the briquettes, Anne improved the loom and led the leaders to set up a weaving workshop.

With improved tools and professional processing workshops, the number of textiles has increased.

In the past, the weaving cloth in the village was self-sufficient, and a little surplus was also used in the city for money and salt.

Nowadays, textile has formed a scale and become an industry, and the economic benefits brought by it are very considerable.

If it weren't for the fact that the village was deep in the mountains and the transportation was inconvenient, they would have gained even more profits.

Even so, the leaders drove the villagers to carry the horses, and still transported boxes of goods to the county seat, the state capital, and even the field like flowing water.

Slowly, the woven fabric of the village became famous and became a local business card.

The profits made by the leaders are so rich that they can wake up laughing when they fall asleep.

Unfortunately, their village is too remote, and if the transportation is more convenient, they can sell their products (glass, briquettes, woven fabrics) to the state capital and sell them all over the world.

Unconsciously, the head people lost that kind of dependence on the mountain, but began to have the idea of moving away.

Anne had known for a long time that this would happen.

People want to live a good life.

If you want to get the mountain people down the mountain, you can't force the order, but if you provide them with a better life, they will go down the mountain voluntarily.

"Sir, some of them want to go to Wanhu Town to have a look!"

On this day, Amon secretly found Anne and whispered.

"Wanhu Town?"

Anne raised an eyebrow.

She knows this place.

The so-called Wanhu Town is a township formed by the four or five villages that were bewitched by Yuan Tingshi to go down the mountain.

Because they are all immigrants, the villagers add up to about 10,000 households, so it is called "10,000 towns".

When Yuan Tingshi bewitched those leaders, although he used means, he still had the city government, and before he achieved his goal, he had not yet turned his face with the leaders.

For more than a year, the life of Wanhu Town has been good.

The fields are rare fertile and fertile fields, and when the autumn harvest is made, it is really full of grain.

Yuan Tingshi also deliberately reduced taxes for three years, although ordinary villagers still had to hand over some of the grain they had laid to the chief, but they did not have to suffer the second wave of exploitation.

Therefore, the life of the villagers is okay.

On the mountain, as the several trade routes that Anne helped to open up were on the right track, several leaders also began to think about whether to go down the mountain.

But they are afraid that Yamashita's policy will change day by day, and at that time, it will be too late to regret it.

Someone suggested that he should go to Wanhu Town to have a look and find out the rumors from the mouth of the head of the town......
