Huge explosions rang out in the silver mining area------ completely breaking the eternal tranquility here!

The laborers saw the smoke from afar for nine days, and they were all terrified, for fear that the messenger of the sun god would be angry and tear everything here to pieces!

Of course, this is impossible.

Subsequently, after the safety was determined, Zhang Hongfan commanded the laborers to go to the field, and the technicians who mined the silver mine organized the start of work.

In order to congratulate the start of the work, everyone increased the amount of food at noon, everyone had two corn flatbreads, four salted fish, and seaweed and shrimp soup to drink casually.

The fact that whole grains are nutritious and anti-hunger is proven to be true.

There were also some indigenous silversmiths in the workforce, who certainly knew silver ore and knew how to refine it.

But they didn't expect that there was such a way of mining in the world, and they used to use copper shovels and copper hammers to dig little by little.

My sun god, they were stunned when they saw the silver ore all over the place, so they mined it?!

When they finished picking up the blasted ore, some of the larger pieces were still broken by hand.

The hammers and drills they were given were far better than copper.

And that's not all.

When they were driven off the field, a second wave of blasting began.

After three blasts a day, it was over.

The rest is up to them to start beneficiation and pulverization.

Guo Shoujing said to Director Zhang Hongfan: "It's too slow to crush it with manpower------

"There is no way, now if you want animal power or not, if you want a pot camel machine without a pot camel machine, wait for the arrangement of Governor Wang Zheng."

After drinking and crying a lot, Director Zhang Hongfan didn't dare to drink too much anymore, and changed to drinking coconut blossom wine.

Coconut liquor is on the island of Liuqiu, and it is all used to make alcohol.

Governor Wang Zheng absolutely admired Wang Defa's family, and he didn't want to be a slave production and processing all the time------ in fact, he designed a small piece of paper, which he wanted to distribute to the laborers, in addition to eating, they could also use it to buy and sell the goods they needed.

In this way, a society of free citizens will slowly take shape.

However, this can only be thought about.

They gave the laborers three meals a day, and the people were grateful, and the slaves ate two meals most of the time and only one meal in their free time!

On the other hand, even if they are given currency, what can they use it to buy?

I am very short of my own supplies.

Governor Wang Zheng immediately realized that this was the wrong time, and he could not blindly learn from the master's ------

In June and July of 1282, there was a severe drought in Shandong, in fact, the drought area began from the north of the Huai River.

Before the Great Song government could react, King Zhang Guoan discovered the disaster.

Despite the help of animal power and the watering of the pot camel machine well, the drought continued!

King Zhang Guoan searched all the county records of this period and did not find such records, which is really hell.

Wang Defa's family could see it, and he said: "Haven't the recorded flooding disasters not happened? At that time, we were secretly having fun, and it is not surprising that this undocumented drought is not surprising------- our current industrial development is not as weak as the butterfly effect, and the annual emissions of carbon dioxide and dust are very huge.

This is not counting the industrial development of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

It's right to think about it, they went crazy digging coal mines everywhere, and every household that originally burned firewood, straw, and charcoal was changed to burning coal------- not to mention Liuqiu Island, and the general small and medium-sized cities of the Great Song Dynasty also began to have tall chimneys, billowing black smoke.

The new governor of the Shandong Peninsula is Yao Mai, who desperately asks King Zhang Guoan for help, and he does not want to encounter such a thing in his first term, for fear that people will privately think that he is a disaster.

It was precisely because of his good management performance in Badaohe City that he was transferred to Shandong, which can be regarded as a big promotion.

The method is very simple, one is to fight drought, and as much as you can keep.

Second, it is necessary to prepare to open warehouses and release grain to stabilize grain prices.

Before King Zhang Guoan could give any instructions, the grain merchants of all sizes had already started to act!

From their granaries on Liuqiu Island, from the Wenlai estuary area, and even to the Champa country, they went to buy and sell grain to the Shandong region!

King Zhang Guoan was really a little surprised, how could these people get the relevant information so quickly?!

The "Liuqiu Times" just mentioned this matter, where the Great Song Dynasty suffered from drought, the magistrate there may be writing an article, and these grain merchants have begun to act!

He asked someone to check, and without him, everyone had specialized personnel who provided business information from all over the world.

This is really a moving benefit.

In the end, the price of food is 10% higher than last year, but fortunately, there is no need for basic supplies such as food in Western Australia.

They are self-sufficient and have a bit of leeway.

The Great Song Dynasty government reacted slowly, but the grain merchants reacted quickly, and the grain prices in the arid areas north of the Huai River and south of the Yellow River did not rise much, at most 20%.

In fact, every grain merchant has to take advantage of the disaster to sell more money, but there are too many peers.

The grain merchant industry is too old, and it is too easy to get started, which is easier than starting a factory.

In fact, they are also fiercely competing------ and the largest granary owner, King Zhang Guoan, did not make a move.

The drought has reduced wheat, corn, rice and cotton production in Shandong by three to five percent.

It can be said that the loss is not small, but the price of food did not skyrocket, nor did it cause turmoil, which is the best ending in the eyes of the Great Song government.

However, King Zhang Guoan intervened, announcing that all the affected fields were registered, and next year's organic fertilizers and organic pesticides, as well as seeds and other agricultural materials could be owed on credit, without interest, to be settled after the autumn.

The guys in the Great Song Dynasty government who attacked the grain and hurt the peasants kept their mouths shut, their ability was originally to look at the short-term level, and they still wanted to look at the long-term!

Shandong's cotton has been damaged, and it seems that the cost of cotton yarn will be raised, but the cotton in Western Australia has been a bumper harvest this year!

Those cotton merchants who took the opportunity to hoard cotton in order to make huge profits were afraid that they had a little hope------ with the influx of cotton in the Tianzhu area, the final result was only a half-percent increase in cotton.

This effect is not enough to make cotton skyrocket, and there will not be a phenomenon of not being able to afford clothes.

In the case of increased productivity, the territory is vast, free flow, fair and just, and the problems of the market will naturally be solved by the market itself.

It's simple common sense.

I am afraid that there will be organized and powerful people who will interfere indiscriminately and make their own fortune by muddying the waters.

There was a case in the Great Song Dynasty, which also attracted the attention of the "Liuqiu Times", and a reporter was specially sent to cover it.

On Shanxi Road, a grain merchant was charged with "deliberately disrupting the grain market and almost causing a popular uprising."

However, the reporter of the "Liuqiu Times" quietly investigated and found that the grain sold by the grain merchant was much cheaper than that of a grain merchant with the old elite forces as the backstage------ and the convicted magistrate was a protégé of the old elite forces.

Even a fool can see why.

"Liuqiu Times" did not report in depth------ I don't know why, the matter is not closed, it is said that the county order was fined three glasses of wine, and it is forgotten.
