"O Western Regions! I don't know if I can create a prosperous Han and Tang dynasty in this life. ”

Yang Hao sighed secretly in his heart.

How vast the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties was, and where was the land of the projectile that he ruled at this time.

However, he also knows that every era has its particularity, and although he covets the exploits of Li Shimin and Liu Bang, he has to take it step by step, and he can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and it is enough to do his best.

"Forget it, don't mention it, it's just a mouthful of things, and it's not too late to talk about it when you have a chance to get in touch with the west in the future, come! Today we eat meat and drink wine.

Bring us the good wine of our Daqi, and we will rest when we get drunk today.

”

When the guard heard this, he hurriedly removed a few jars of good wine from the carriage that came with him.

The poor jingle is the Yu clan, where he has seen such a fine wine of great purity.

The spicy liquor enters the throat like red-hot charcoal thrown into the throat, and the wine enters the stomach, but it is extremely warm.

Rong didn't know that this wine was powerful, so he drank it in one gulp and coughed again and again.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"This wine is strong, you can't drink it urgently, and eating meat and pressing it can relieve discomfort."

Rong heard the words and confessed, and after eating a few bites of meat, he felt much better.

"King, what is the name of this wine, and why is it so strong!"

Rong looked at the liquor in the cup with some fear.

"This wine is brewed by me with the best grain, the production process is very complicated, in front of this wine, no one will drink, drink a sip in winter, the warming effect is excellent, because there is a burning sensation in the mouth, I named it shochu. This time, I brought more than 20 altars and gave them to my people. ”

Although Rong didn't understand wine, when he heard that this thing was made from grain, he could understand how valuable this thing was, and how much food it needed if it was such a strong wine.

He was a little glad that he hadn't spit out the wine just now, otherwise it would have been a shameful waste.

Yang Hao raised his glass and said, "Drink together!" ”

With that, drink the wine in the cup.

Rong was a little stunned to see this scene, he just drank a little bit just now, and Yang Hao's face did not change.

"Sure enough, it's a masterpiece!"

Rong sighed, and drank the little wine left, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, but seeing that the rest of the Qi people were drinking with relish, he also endured it.

"Just have a drink!"

Yang Hao said.

Rong immediately said gratefully: "Thank you for your compassion."

"In addition to these dozens of jars of wine, I also brought cloth produced in Daqi, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart for the clan, and the rest depends on you."

"Don't worry, the king won't be discredited!"

Rong immediately bowed.

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Now that Sanmiao has made an agreement with Great Qi, in the future, if these people want to trade with Qi State, they must pass through here, these barbarians are arrogant and undisciplined, and they must suppress the arrogance of this fang."

If the Miao people pass by, you can collect a certain amount of goods, but don't force them too much, with my Daqi as the backing, the Miao people will not dare to use force easily.

If the Miao people have any changes, they can send people to Lingzhou City to ask for help.

”

Rong is not an idiot, he naturally understands that Yang Hao is indirectly giving benefits to the clansmen, although he does not understand the truth of goose plucking, but he also knows that there must be huge benefits in this, maybe it works properly, maybe the Yu people can greatly improve their quality of life by looking at this, how can they not be excited.

Rong bowed to Yang Hao again and again, even if Yang Hao stopped it again and again, he couldn't stop his gratitude.

Yang Hao put on a show on Youyu's side for three days, left a gift here, and then led the team to the mine of Qi State.

The mine was not far from the Youyu station, and it took a total of four days to get there.

Mining is an extremely heavy job, and Yang Hao did not let the citizens of Qi waste their precious energy here.

The people who mined in the mines were all prisoners with shaved hair.

The battle with the poor clan allowed the Qi State to increase the available labor force by thousands.

The appearance of these people immediately replaced the wild people who had been here, and those who went to work in more leisurely tasks, such as laying roads and wooden tracks, and even some of them who were about to be promoted to citizenship joined the ranks of overseers.

It's not so much a mine as a sprawling, heavily guarded prison.

There are three mines in Youyu, one is a copper mine, one is an iron mine, and the other is also a silver mine, but the silver mine Yang Hao has invested the least number of people, only less than five hundred.

Most of the people are concentrated on the iron mine, and Yang Hao's first stop is also where the iron mine is located.

Although the Qi State now mastered the technology of iron melting, it was unable to make steel, and the performance of primitive iron tools was not more efficient than that of bronze tools, and these iron tools could only be used to make agricultural tools, such as ploughshares, sickles, hoes, and other things.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry of the mine took Yang Hao to visit the mine.

"King, now this iron ore mine mines about 10,000 catties of iron ore every day, but it is inconvenient to transport, and it will take a month to transport it back to Daqi."

Yang Hao nodded and said, "What is the effect of the wooden rail?" ”

The official said: "This wooden rail is much more convenient, and if there is no wooden rail, it should be even more difficult to mine this iron ore." ”

"Well, continue to test this wooden rail, and if it is feasible, report it to the Ministry of Works."

Even if this wooden track was feasible, Yang Hao would not be able to build a wooden track for hundreds of miles, and with the current ability of the Qi State, he would not be able to do so.

But this does not prevent Yang Hao's fanaticism for tracks, even if he can't get a steam engine in this life, but he can get a horse-drawn rail car, which is also a way to greatly increase the transportation capacity.

Yang Hao felt that this was feasible, as long as he studied the method of steelmaking, he could make a simple rail car, and now this thing in the iron ore factory can only be barely used, and it cannot be used for long-distance transportation at all.

Wheels made of wood have to be replaced after a few uses, and it is not as convenient to use such things as a donkey for long-distance transportation.

Yang Hao checked the quality of the iron ore, this iron ore vein is a hematite vein, with his simple metal knowledge, he knows that the iron content of this thing is not low.

This is a high-quality vein, Yang Hao is in a good mood, as long as the production tools are more and more sophisticated, the productivity will naturally increase.

What kind of slavery system is simply nonsense, such an important human resource is naturally for him Yang Hao to expand the territory and occupy those borderless lands.

Yang Hao does not believe that millions of square kilometers of land cannot feed a population of only 10 million.

Even if it can't become the kind of quality of life that developed countries in later generations, at least it must surpass the bullshit Kangqian prosperous era by a large margin.

Yang Hao is very confident in this.

"Damn, more than a billion people in the future can live well on this land, and now with such a small population, if Lao Tzu can't handle it, he really deserves to die!"

Yang Hao thought hatefully in his heart.
