Chapter 225 Timber Resources
The next topic was light, Yun Yao asked some things about the dragon clan, and knew that the dragon clan is actually very complicated, and there are all kinds of dragons. Not all dragons have wisdom, and some dragons have no wisdom at all, so they will be sent to Heaven as food.
These unintelligent dragons are not cultivated, but appear by various coincidences, such as when the dragon king accidentally pees, the creatures that are drenched in urine will become dragons. Of course, this is just one situation, so the orthodox dragon clan is very restrained in its daily life, and will not easily exchange liquids with the surrounding creatures, but no matter how careful it is, it is inevitable, after all, the dragon clan also lives within the Three Realms, and there are so many dragon sons and grandsons, and they will make dragons if they are not careful.
This kind of dragon without intelligence is not the same kind in the eyes of the dragons, just as the humans treat monkeys in the same way, so even if it becomes an ingredient, the dragons will not care.
As for those scale clans who have transformed into dragons through cultivation, the dragon clan recognizes them and welcomes them to join the dragon family. However, it is impossible for the dragons to give them any protection, because the dragons have enough of them.
The Dragon King of Zhuhe did not hide these things, and it can be regarded as solving Yun Yao's long-standing doubts, that is, the origin of the dragon's liver and phoenix marrow.
If you exchange your feelings with dragons, you can create food dragons that don't have intelligence.
"The wonder of life is truly breathtaking." Yun Yao sighed from the bottom of her heart.
But the dragon king said: "The human race envies the dragon race, in fact, the dragon race also envies the human race, but each has its own strengths." ”
After drinking the wine and eating the special products, he made an appointment with the Dragon King to collect the spirit stones of the East China Sea and began to reclaim, and the Dragon King sent Yun Yao out of the Zhu River.
The Dragon King of the Zhu River moved quickly, and in three days, he returned enough spirit stones from the East China Sea and spread them at the bottom of the Zhu River, and then Yun Yao calculated the flow rate of the Zhu River with a measuring ruler, and spent twelve hours opening a pit for the Dragon King a seaweed field.
As a token of appreciation, the Dragon King gave him a black pearl with the size of an eyeball.
Pearls belong to luxury, and the market for luxury goods at this stage is not large, unlike the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where there are more and more products, and the princes are more and more pursuing material enjoyment and luxury. And because more and more food is produced, more and more soldiers can be out of production, which leads to the scale of the war is constantly increasing.
It was originally a good thing to have a large grain production, but the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period led to various problems because of the increase in grain production. After they had their fill, they began to become poor and luxurious, and began to pursue huge profits.
Fortunately, there are also a small number of people who seek a way to end the war after they have eaten enough, that is, the hundred schools of thought.
When you're full, what are you going to do? Yun Yao also often thinks about this problem, especially when the hand is suddenly relaxed, the training is done, the class is finished, the work in the mining is completed one by one, and even the neighbors are helped.
What to do? Sure enough, there was nothing to do except create the heavenly court. Yun Yao thought to himself that in the world, after the grain production increased in the future, the princes would build a lot of construction to keep the people busy. In the more distant future, there will be no forced labor, but there will be all kinds of needs, ordinary people will have to make money after they are full, and only by making money can they meet all kinds of pursuits, and they will be honest when they are busy making money.
So when you're full, you have to find something to do. Yun Yao doesn't want to fight, so she has to find something else to do, she can't fight, and she doesn't want to develop the entertainment industry so quickly, so let's cultivate.
Yun Yao found something to do for herself, and in the eyes of the savages, their lords didn't know what they were busy with, unlike when they were full and could bask in the sun.
Of course, because of Yun Yao's influence, the time for savages to bask in the sun is getting less and less, after all, the people around them are busy, and it is not appropriate for them to be idle.
Savages also want to integrate into the collective, the collective is working, and if the individual is lazy, it is obviously out of place. Even savages know that only unity can survive and make life better, so everyone will naturally participate in labor.
"It's cold, Zhu Nu, someone has come to buy charcoal, should we make charcoal exchange?" Shu Zai came over and told Yun Yao that the Zhu family's charcoal is also a very popular commodity now.
It's autumn again, and summer is really short.
Charcoal is made by evaporating the water in the wood by inadequate combustion, and it burns at a higher temperature. The history of charcoal is very long, the Xia Dynasty existed, and it will run through the entire history of human civilization, even after the industrial age, charcoal still exists as an adsorbent.
Before coal and oil were mined in large quantities, charcoal was definitely the main fuel. Now there are few people who can burn charcoal, so the price of charcoal is high, and when the technology of charcoal is popularized, there will be a situation in "The Charcoal Seller" who worries about the cold of the charcoal.
The lords of the Lu Kingdom all knew that the Zhu family had high-quality charcoal, so some big families sent people over to purchase it.
"Charcoal." Yun Yao's eyes looked at the Zhu River, and one of the reasons why he wanted to transport timber through the Zhu River was to transport timber through the Zhu River.
There is too little timber in Yunyao Caiyi, and if water transportation is opened, then the timber from the upstream and downstream can be transported to Caiyi.
"Forget it this year, let's do it next year." Yun Yao said: "When I solve the source of the wood, I will consider other things." "A lot of projects are delayed because there isn't enough wood, such as paper.
Water and fire, two unavoidable problems for the survival of the human race, Yunyao's mining has enough water, but there is not enough fuel.
Just planting trees is stretched, so it is still necessary to use water to make up for the fire, there are rich timber resources in the upstream and downstream, as long as the water transportation is opened, then the Zhu family Caiyi is considered to open the second vein of Rendu.
"What are Zhu Nu's plans?" When Shu Zai heard Yun Yao mention next year, he knew that Yun Yao must have made a big move. At this point, he admired Zhu Nu so much, because Zhu Nu's planning for mining is always unexpected.
It is because of Zhu Nu that even savage families can raise some chickens and ducks now, and the life of the Chinese people is even more prosperous, so Shu Zai is very curious about what Zhu Nu thinks.
"Since we rely on water, we have to use river water transportation to make up for our disadvantage." Yun Yao proposed the idea of water transportation: "We lack timber in the mining estate, but there are many dense forests upstream and downstream, so if we can use the Zhu River to transport timber......"
Shu Zai's eyes widened, and he felt that it was feasible: "If we can succeed, then we will never be short of wood again." But how? ”
"Dragged in a canoe, the trees will float on the surface anyway." Yun Yao said: "After a while, I will try it first, and if it is feasible, we will build a few more canoes and select a few people to learn rowing." ”
Shu Zai nodded again and again: "This method is good, our mining is indeed too short of wood." With wood, it was possible to build larger granaries and build several more jacquard machines. ”
"As long as the water transport is opened, there will be it." Yun Yao looked at the river and said. 111
