Section 158 Yichuan of Hamster Hui (2nd Watch)
Occasionally, one or two unsold items are not an accident.
In this auction, Bai Hui collected everything.
Whether it is gold bars, copper ingots, iron ingots, grain, leather, etc., all can be converted into gold and traded.
Among them, in Bai Hui's eyes, the most worthy of collection is the gold coins of Chu State.
A whole piece of Chu gold coins is about one catty, and then it can be divided into twenty small pieces, and one small piece is about hardware. Specifically, it should be weighed later, and then converted according to the way of the Qin State.
The auction was held for three consecutive days, true or false, Bai Hui exchanged at least seventy percent of the treasures of the Qi Palace for grain, leather, iron ingots, copper ingots and other items.
On the fourth day, Empress Dowager Xuan and King Qin returned to Xianyang.
Bai Hui officially sent an official note to the four countries, saying that he would send troops to clean up the Shangyong bandits, and then bring his family to Shu Hou at the invitation of Shu Hou to play.
The six countries have all set up liaison offices in Luoyi, and Bai Hui's official notes were sent to the liaison offices of the five countries.
This matter is not a big deal, as long as it is notified, and it is not going to war, but it will take at least three days to get an official response from the five countries, and the liaison offices of the five countries will get together to discuss Bai Hui's matter, and then they will jointly respond.
Bai Qi and Bai Hui are not in a hurry.
At the moment, it is a big project to evacuate from Luoyi to Yichuan, not to mention anything else, dozens of carriages are loaded with bamboo slips alone. Hundreds of thousands of cars were loaded with belongings, not counting some of the high-grade treasures that belonged to the Qin State Treasury temporarily stored in Bai Hui's house.
The new building complex in Yichuan began to break ground, and the first thing to repair was a manor house near the mountains and rivers, which was the place where the two brothers Bai Qi and Bai Hui lived in Luoyi for a long time. With this approval, Bai Hui directly ordered people to start building a group of mansions at the level of a feudal monarch.
Then less than three miles north of Bai Hui's house is Heming Gorge.
Ten miles to the south, it is a new city, and it is also the residential area of the Siwei family, surrounded by 400,000 acres of fertile land. Ten miles to the south, and then twenty miles to the east and west, were three military camps.
To the east of Bai Hui's house is the Luoyi School Palace, which has been planned and has not yet begun to break ground.
To the west of the house, is Baihui's craftsman's garden, and then twenty miles to the west, is the craftsman's family's own land, 50,000 acres of fertile land, 30,000 acres of miscellaneous land.
From Yichuan to Yiyang, an artificial canal has been excavated, with a total length of 70 miles.
Then the construction of a straight road with a total length of fifty miles also began.
Next, from Yichuan to Jiayi, a waterway only needs to be repaired, and then a section of canal that is only ten miles old can be added to ensure transportation and increase the irrigation of 100,000 acres of fertile land.
In the end, the most difficult one to repair is the waterway from Jiayi to Nanyang, but it can't be repaired, Bai Hui plans to start construction in a year and repair it in two years.
Bai Hui doesn't have to worry about moving, there is already a hostess at home.
Although Bai Hui has been married for a long time, Bai Hui still has three concubines, whose names and faces do not match, just because they have seen too little, they look similar and have the same hairstyle, change clothes, etc., it is difficult for Bai Hui not to be face blind.
In the past few days when he was waiting for the move and the receipt of the five countries, Bai Hui took Bai Qi to the Yichuan Workshop District.
"There is a treasure here, although it cannot be made and used in large quantities, but it is indeed a treasure." Bai Hui said mysteriously to Bai Qi.
The workshop area is divided into heavy industry and light industry area.
The so-called heavy industry here, that is, the place where the blacksmith works, is the light and heavy of textiles.
A waterwheel, then a spinning machine.
"This spinning machine, one hundred and thirty catties of hemp one day and night!"
This data, even Bai Hui is proud, because this is the first spinning machine to get rid of human labor.
In this era, it is no longer the primitive 'hand warp finger hanging', the loom has become a common object, and the first-class weavers of the Qin State already have an inclined loom.
And spinning, from the most primitive spinning, has become a hand-cranked single spindle spinning wheel.
At this time, the appearance of the first hydraulic double spindle spinning wheel made Bai Hui excited, which represented the germination of the industrial age, of course, this low-level water conservancy machinery is still far from the industrial age, far away.
Even if this double-spindle water spinning wheel is still a fake double spindle, it just gathers two single spindles on one machine.
It is enough to call it a miracle.
Because Bai Hui's interest in mechanics is limited to the level of high school physics. Therefore, this spinning wheel is completely the crystallization of countless attempts by the craftsmen of the Qin State.
Bai Qi stared at the spinning wheel that kept turning for half an hour, and Bai Hui was the same, watching the spinning wheel turn made people feel very good.
"Good!"
Bai Qi's praise came from the bottom of his heart, and it was indeed good.
"There's one more thing."
In the heavy industry area, a huge waterwheel carries countless belts, and then drives a boulder weighing 10,000 catties. Bai Qi could see clearly, the boulder could rise and fall once in almost three breaths, and then the red-hot iron plates under the boulder were smashed into a specific shape.
It was a pot, but it was only about a foot five inches in diameter.
Next, there is a water-driven grinding wheel, and the craftsman grinds the edge of the iron pot on the grinding wheel, and then also relies on water to polish the inner wall of the iron pot.
"Well, it's a treasure!" Bai Hui asked Bai Qi.
Bai Qi knew that the treasure that Bai Hui was talking about was not a spinning wheel, nor this boulder, but water power.
Bai Hui's craftsmen use water power, which is definitely not something that the craftsmen of the Six Nations can imagine, the Six Nations still rely on pure artificial physical strength, and Bai Hui is already using water power.
"It's useful."
"That's right, it can be of great use, the craftsmen are still researching, and the task I give to some of the craftsmen is to study, study, and study. Constantly play the greatest role of water conservancy, not only grinding noodles and grinding beans at the moment. ”
"Yes!" Bai Qi nodded.
Bai Qi knows better than anyone that the iron pot at home can also be said to be the first iron pot in the world, and the production time took almost a month, and it is estimated that this iron pot will not last so long now.
Finally, the receipt of the five countries arrived, and they confirmed that they already knew that Bai Qi and Bai Hui had gone to Shudi. Military actions such as clearing bandits in Qindi did not violate the issue of Bai Qi and Bai Hui in command in the Six-Power Alliance, which belonged to Qin's internal affairs.
Bai Qi and Bai Hui, with a total of 1,999 personal guards with two people, as well as 1,000 heavy auxiliary soldiers, and 3,000 elite Qin troops, set off from Yichuan, first to Wanyi, and then went straight to Shangyong County, which is now Shiyan.
An army of 100,000 went up from the border of Qin and Chu, and Bai Qi and Bai Hui did not personally lead the team.
It's just to eliminate the bandits, if Bai Qi is allowed to lead the army in person, the faces of the generals are not good-looking, in fact, the leaders of each detachment are all at the level of military candidates, and only the big bandits are worthy of yesterday's general personally mobilizing troops and horses, and one military candidate for ordinary small bandits is enough.
Junling. The Danjiangkou of later generations.
This is the most advanced city of Chu State and Wan and Shangyong.
