"Prime Minister, there are mines in Tanglang County, and there are copper mines!"

In the hall, the three of them were fighting the landlord, and Feng Tu threw a bomb. com

"Copper mines? Where is it? ”

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty turned around abruptly and asked eagerly.

The Han Dynasty is very short of copper, and there is a shortage of copper all over the world.

Now Soochow has begun to cast iron money, yes, it is to use iron to cast money.

Dahan is no better.

Although it is still used today, the people do not like to use it.

Fortunately, a part of the five-baht coins were recast later, which was slightly resentful.

But there is still too little copper.

Zhuge Liang did not study anything like monetary economics, but he was able to deduce certain political and economic conclusions that would only be summarized in later textbooks based on his political instincts.

The imperial court held the right to mint coins in their hands, and minted coins that the people were willing to use, which was not just as simple as facilitating the people's daily life.

Most importantly, it facilitates the imperial court to strengthen its control over the people.

At some point, it was even easier for the court to use its hands and feet to replenish the treasury - how much to take from the people depended on the appetite of the higher-ups.

For Zhuge Liang, this is a means of governing the country that must not be lost.

If it is really like Cao Wei in the north, directly abolishing coins and trading them with the most primitive things, it will only make the family smile.

Because if this is done, it will be the imperial court taking the initiative to weaken its own control over the local area and cede local control to the local clans.

Cao Wei's people don't say that they are all stupid, even if Cao Pi doesn't know, don't others know the harm of abolishing coins?

But once this matter was raised, it was very popular with the government and the opposition, and even was promoted to the whole country by everyone's efforts.

The imperial court does not have to worry about the lack of copper coinage, and the family can completely control the local economy, the best of both worlds, how cool is it?

Among them, whether it is because Cao Pi is for temporary convenience, or to buy the hearts of the family, or to make some transactions with the family, who knows?

But in Shu Han, Zhuge Liang only thought that the imperial court's control over the local area was not strong enough, and he was eager to dismember those big families to strengthen the imperial court's control over the Han Dynasty.

So at this time, when I heard that Feng Yong had discovered a copper mine, where did I think about changing clothes?

How important is copper in drowning? You won't die if you hold it for a while.

"Tanglang County, there may be two places where there is copper."

Feng Yong dropped another bomb.

"Two places?"

This time, even Yang Yi screamed.

"It's just a possibility, it's a possibility."

Feng Yong emphasized again.

"Where?"

Zhuge Liang didn't even want his usual demeanor, so he directly leaned on the desk and stretched his neck and asked.

"There is a place in Tanglang County, and I have heard that there have been people who have mined copper. Climb a few mountains from Nagu to reach Lushui. Walking along the valley of Lushui to the north, there is a dumb spring, but wherever there is a dumb spring, there is copper. ”

Although according to Feng Yong's original plan, Huang Chong was to be the magistrate of Tanglang County, but since Zhuge Liang let him go to Yue, he must have directly pulled Huang Chong to Yue.

As a county magistrate under the eaves of others, how can there be brothers who go to Yuewan together to be the emperor of the soil?

Tanglang County's fat meat will be left to Zhuge Liang.

"Yizhou County and Yongchang County, aren't there several dumb springs?"

Yang Yi blurted out.

Then Feng Yong glanced at him with a squinting look - if you have the ability, you can mine it for me!

I have your surname if you can mine it, and I will call you Ah Gong if you can get it!

The largest transportation artery in Nanzhong is Wuchi Road and Nanyi Road, and the remaining fragments and post roads of different lengths can basically be regarded as extensions of these two roads.

In the south of Yizhou County and Yongchang County, there is not even a post road, is it a place where people go?

Grain can't get in, and mines can't get out.

Besides, if you really want to mine there, can you count on those barbarians? Don't you have to send a group of Han craftsmen over?

But when the Han craftsmen went there, they had to go to the deep mountains and old forests to mine, and it would be good if they could survive half of them after a year.

The remaining half has to be played by everyone.

Artemisinin is not all over the street, and if Guan Xing can be rescued, I don't know how much effort it takes, and I have to take a little luck.

Don't say that ordinary people want to use artemisinin, even those partial generals in the army, then they are not qualified to use it.

At most, Feng Yong just got some Changshan prescriptions to suppress the condition, and the rest was life and death.

Therefore, the copper mine that may exist in Nagu is the most convenient copper mine that Feng Yong currently knows, after all, there are post roads and waterways.

Although the post road can only accommodate two horses at most, as long as the number of Yunnan horses can keep up, transportation is not a problem.

As for the dumb spring, Feng Yong still didn't make it in the end.

But he had tried to lead people over those mountains, and although the distance in a straight line was not too far, the road to detour was not short, and the last short section of the road was very difficult to walk, and he did not cross it in the end.

If you want to mine the copper ore in the dumb spring, you must dig a plank road on that section of the mountain road, and the cost of money and grain is easy to say, but the time is a bit long, and it will take a year or two to say the least.

And just based on Zhuge Old Demon's search appearance, if others want to meddle in such a precious copper mine, it is simply looking for death, so why did Feng Yong bother with that heart?

But if you mine copper, you have to transport it back to Jincheng, right?

The east wind blows, the war drums beat, if you don't look for me, who are you looking for?

Dongfeng Express, your best choice!

After pacifying Nanzhong, there will be a source of Dian horses.

Give Feng Yong two years, Dongfeng Express, properly the mission will be achieved!

The only courier company in the whole Han, earning to death.

Besides, there is also the second largest plain in Sichuan and Shu in Yueyun waiting for him to develop.

It's a good place to graze cattle and horses.

Now the ranch in Hanzhong is estimated to be that scale, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to further expand.

So it's a sheep breeding base.

After all, Hanzhong still takes grain production as its top priority.

Wait until you take the plain of Yue, and then build a cattle and horse pasture.

Are you afraid that it will not be enough for the cows and horses to be happy?

Thinking of this, Feng Yong's heart was first refreshed, and then hot.

Feng Tuqiu's heart crackled, thinking that he had taken over the hot potato of Yue Xuan, it was inevitably not a good thing, but he couldn't help but smile.

Yang Yi saw Feng Yong first glance at him with an unknown look in his eyes, and then after a while, he suddenly smiled as if he was laughing at himself, and his heart was suddenly very resentful.

The shaft is really rude!

It's just that because of the prime minister's presence, he didn't say anything, but he just kept this hatred in his heart.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also frowned slightly, as soon as he saw the indescribable smile of that kid, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart - you said that you are a good disciple of the mountain gate, you can't have a little serious appearance?

Pick up the drawings on the desk, and it is the map of Nanzhong.

After comparing it on the map, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was a little stunned to find that most of Tanglang County was actually across the river from Yuelang County.

What's more, in the northwest of Tanglang County, there is only one Tanglang Mountain separated from Qianjie County in Yuelang County.

What's more, if it is really as the kid said, the dumb spring is on the edge of Lushui, then wouldn't the place where copper is mined in the future also face Yueyan County across the water?

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty suddenly had an urge to overturn the case: In this way, isn't it unfair to Yueyun County? Otherwise, how can you mine copper with peace of mind?!

I talked for a long time before, and I agreed to a lot of requests from this kid, but in the end, I still have to try my best to help him calm down the trouble?

This son is the most treacherous!

However, as soon as he remembered Jincheng's letter, he had to forcibly endure this breath.

glanced at Yang Yi and said, "Wei Gong, you go to see Gao Ding's wife and children first, I'm afraid that they will be used when pacifying the Yue, don't let them have any accidents." ”

Yang Yi knew that this was the prime minister who was supporting him and wanted to talk to Feng Yong alone, and he was even more resentful of Feng Yong in his heart.

Along the way, he planned a branch for the Southern Expeditionary Army, raised grain, and won the trust of the prime minister, and the prime minister would not hide everything from him on weekdays.

But I didn't expect this lucky kid to come, but I wanted him to avoid it?

It's just that since the prime minister opened his mouth, no matter how much he didn't want to, he had to come out.

"Over there in Jincheng, what are you asking people to put away all those poultry feathers?"

After Yang Yi went out, Zhuge Liang asked Feng Yong an unexpected question.

"Make clothes."

Feng Yong replied a little confused.

"You still learn magic? Most of the magic tricks circulating in the world are deceiving. You're young, what do you do with those things? ”

Zhuge Liang frowned.

Emperor Xiaowu of that year, in order to live forever, was bewitched by the Fang Shi, and then there was the scourge of witches, which almost caused chaos in the country.

His own fine gentleman also learned the magic in the "Luban Sutra", which led to physical problems.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang has always stayed away from things like other arts.

"I didn't learn."

Feng Yong was even more inexplicable, and glanced at Zhuge Liang a little strangely: You don't believe in Fangshu, why did you borrow your life from the sky at the origin of Wuzhang Seven Star Lantern later?

However, think about the first four Northern Expeditions, all of which returned due to food shortages, and after the Fifth Northern Expedition solved the problem of food supply, when they were holding each other, they were seriously ill and dying--they died before they left the army, which made the heroes cry for a long time, and nothing more.

So at the last moment of life and death, using the forbidden method in Huang Yueying's "Luban Sutra" to borrow his life, I am afraid that it is also a helpless move by him to place a slim hope at that time, right?

"The feather cloak is now worn by the alchemist, you don't learn the arts, what are you doing with that feather cloak?"

Zhuge Liang asked again.

Oh, I see.

Feng Yong remembered the "Song of Neon Clothes and Feathers" in "Song of Long Hatred".

This feather coat is taken from the meaning of its fairy flying, and it also refers to the fairy clothes.

It is the prop that the priests used to pretend to be ghosts.

"Well, I'm not making a feather coat, I'm a down jacket, it's for winter warmth."

From the beginning, when he raised chickens and ducks, Feng Yong thought about making down jackets.

But it didn't go well.

The villi should be disinfected and degreased.

Then you have to find a fabric with good airtightness, otherwise the fluff will come out of it.

The fabric with the finest gap, the one that can be found at present is Shu brocade.

Shu brocade should be lined with a layer of linen, so that the fabric and the fluff have enough friction, so that the fluff inside will not run around.

The Shu brocade outside is dense enough, which can barely maximize the guarantee that the fluff will not come out.

When sewing, it also requires more needlework than the down jackets of later generations.

The needlework should be in the shape of a lattice, and each lattice should be about the size of a palm.

The sewn finished product is a little ugly, so it has to be covered with another layer of cloth to make a good appearance.

The cloth that is put on the outside can be brocade cloth or woolen cloth, and it depends on who it is sold to anyway.

The layers are different, and the cloth is not the same.

If it is more expensive, it will be covered with brocade cloth, and if it is cheaper, it will be covered with woolen cloth.

It's a luxury item – but it's profitable!

The winter warmth made by Shu brocade, I ask you if you are afraid?

Whoever can wear it is a local tyrant!

Sweater? That's just for ordinary people's homes, and the Shu brocade feather suit is a high-end product!

In the market, the levels of high-end and mid-range should be distinct, as for the low-end market, forget it, Feng Yong can't look at it.

Anyway, you have to leave someone a way to live, and you can't die if you eat alone.

Of course, this plan can't be told to the old demon Zhuge now, otherwise it will definitely be taken away again.

With Shu brocade foreign trade is already a big profit, Shu brocade down jacket must be bigger and bigger to make a special profit.

Besides, I have a method of raising silkworms in autumn or even in winter - build a fireplace and warm house, can't you raise silkworms all year round?

Even if the quality of silk produced in summer, autumn and winter is not as good as that of spring, it is not enough to stand up to the quantity, and it is two or three times more than other people's homes.

All of them are made into Shu brocade down jackets and sold, which is simply cool to death!

The leaves of Nanzhong are evergreen all year round, and you are afraid that there are no mulberry leaves?

Thinking of this, Feng Tu Turtle remembered Qiongdu, the seat of Yueyan County, which had a name in later generations, called Xichang.

It is one of China's space launch centers.

It is the world-famous Sun City, Moon City, and Space City, and is "a city that inhabits in spring", known as the small "Spring City", warm in winter and cool in summer, and the four seasons are like spring.

When Lao Tzu pacified the place, he opened pastures on the plains, planted mulberry trees in the mountains, and raised silkworms in the city to make down jackets......

The saliva "ticked" and almost fell on the desk.

Seeing Feng Tuqiu's unyielding appearance, Zhuge Liang let out a "tsk" and knocked on the table dissatisfiedly, "What are you thinking!" Did you hear what I said? ”

"Oh, what did the prime minister just say? I didn't hear it all at once. ”

Feng Yong wiped the saliva from his mouth and looked at the prime minister of the Han Dynasty stupidly.

"There's a letter from Jincheng, the kind of bellows you offered has been changed, and it is used to blow the wind, which can greatly increase the firepower of the iron furnace."

Zhuge Liang looked at Feng Yong with suspicion in his eyes, "Yifan tried to smelt iron with a modified iron furnace, and sure enough, he got good iron." ”

"That's a good thing, Prime Minister."

Feng Yong was overjoyed and said, "Madame is really smart!" ”

Huang Yueying, a national-level top engineer and designer, is amazing!

I've said it before, but now I want to say it again...... Feng Tujiao secretly glanced at Zhuge Liang, this old man married such a woman, it was really a blessing.

"But that bellows need chicken feathers!"

Zhuge Liang's face sank, looked at Feng Yong, and continued, "You took away all the poultry feathers from those families, is it really just to make a feather coat?" Not because of anything else? ”

"Huh? Ha? What should the bellows be made of chicken feathers? ”

Feng Tu was stunned for a moment, is there such a thing?

Xijun said in the letter that if you don't use chicken feathers, the wind power of the bellows will be too small, and it will not have much effect on the iron furnace. Add chicken feathers, the bellows will not leak, and the wind will be much stronger, what do you say it is used for? ”

Hey? How does this work?

Feng Yong thought to himself, I said, the bellows I made in Hanzhong always felt that the wind power could not meet the ideal requirements, so the refined iron smelted out was so small every time.

I thought that the bellows I made was too small and the strength was not enough, so I had to add chicken feathers to it?

Where's the plus?

This Huang Yueying is so powerful!

Sure enough, he is a character who is proficient in the art of Mojia organs.

However, this is not the time to think about this problem, Feng Yong saw that the suspicion in the eyes of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty above became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but explain urgently, "Prime Minister, I collected the feathers of the poultry, it was long before I made the bellows!" ”

This girl must be suspicious of the chicken feathers of feudal socialism!

Zhuge Liang snorted, "Before you offered that dry food, you were also raising poultry on a large scale." Before going to Hanzhong to raise sheep, I also offered a plan to reclaim Hanzhong......"

This kid is the most treacherous!

On the surface, it seems to be a benefit to others, but later it will definitely be multiplied several times back.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty couldn't understand it best-because he had scolded a certain turtle at night more than once.

Feng Yong, who has a bad reputation with the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, said "tsk", and muttered in his heart: I am about to become a clothing tycoon, as for the profit from selling chicken feathers? Am I going to be so tasteless?
