"Mr. Qi, how much grain is left in the village?" After a moment of silence, Ma Hanshan changed the subject.

How did you get to this? Qi Nanyue was stunned for a moment and said, "Sixty stones of grain, two hundred catties of coarse salt." Twenty taels of silver, eighty taels of money, and five pieces of gold. ”

"Hehe, the village is not very poor." Ma Hanshan said with a smile, and suddenly felt a little grateful to that other person's father, who left a lot of "family property".

Nowadays, brown rice is about five or six hundred wen a stone, a good rice is only seven or eight hundred wen a stone, and the annual expenditure of a few ordinary people's families is only a few dollars, more than 100 taels of silver, which is indeed a small wealth, not to mention a few pieces of gold.

"The owner of the village, there are one hundred and ten people in the village, even if there is no other expenses, this little money is all used to buy food, and it won't last long." Qi Nanyue reminded.

"Well, I know, but we're not dead people, we won't make money, it's a big deal, go out of the mountains to rob Hu people." Ma Hanshan said disapprely, in fact, he didn't care about it in his heart, but he believed that he would not starve to death, and there was a big mountain here. After a pause, he said, "Mr. Qi, I'll work hard for you, and I'll go out of the mountain tomorrow to do a few things." ”

"The owner of the village is polite, please command." Qi Nanyue clenched his fists and said.

"It's a very simple thing, go out and spend money." Ma Hanshan is determined to continue reform, from beginning to end, from the inside out.

……

The next day, Qi Nanyue went out of the mountain with all the silver and copper coins in the cottage, as well as a few drawings drawn by Ma Hanshan.

That's right, this time Qi Nanyue went out of the mountain to spend money, Ma Hanshan ordered him to prepare a stone of grain for each person, and then order two sets of clothes, a hat, and two pairs of shoes for each person in the village. Of course, the style of clothes and hats must be sewn according to the style he "designed".

What about his design? Of course it's eye-catching.

The clothes and hats are the kind of military hats of the fifties and sixties that he had seen in movies and television in his last life, well, and belts, the leather is too expensive, and he draws the belt for the blacksmith to buckle, and then makes it out of cloth. In fact, the cloth belt is very good, and the cloth belt is more close-fitting.

In addition to buying things, Qi Nanyue's task is to explore the way to buy gunpowder and find a pottery master. Now the militia in the village, the combat effectiveness can almost be ignored, Ma Hanshan has to buy some gunpowder to make some special defensive weapons, the world is too chaotic, black thieves and thieves happen every minute, and they can't do others with big blades alone.

Many areas of this world are more developed than the Song Dynasty he understands, such as gunpowder, which is not powder gunpowder but granular gunpowder, and the formula is more reasonable and more powerful than that of the Song Dynasty. It's a pity that although the gunpowder is good, it is the same as the Great Song Dynasty in another time and space, and it was not used in the military, but was used to make fireworks.

Therefore, Ma Hanshan wanted to use gunpowder to get some weapons, and he really thought of the right thing.

The bullshit and Confucianism of the two time and space think that there is nothing serious except reading, as if they can make poetry with what they eat, and even more scold advanced technology as strange and ingenious, and regard people who engage in science and technology as heretics. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Da Song was also invaded by other countries like the Great Song Dynasty.

Ma Hanshan wanted to buy a lot more, but unfortunately his "father" left him only a hundred taels of silver, so he could only buy grain and some coarse cloth clothes worth only a few dozen yuan.

……

Qi Nanyue went out of the mountain to spend money, but Ma Hanshan took Ah Niu and two strong thief militiamen into the mountain. He went into the mountain to find a way to make money for the tile pot village, and he thought it was right.

Guogai Mountain is very large, and many places are inaccessible, even like primeval forests.

"Young master, what are we doing in the mountains? There are tigers, wolves and poisonous snakes in the mountains, which is not fun at all. "There's nothing fun in the mountains, Ah Niu doesn't understand why the young master wants to go into the mountains.

"Is there really a tiger wolf?" Ma Hanshan was not afraid, but was more interested, he really hadn't seen a wild tiger wolf in his previous life.

"Really, there are many fierce beasts in Wolf Valley." Said the militia called Black Boy.

"Is Wolf Valley far away?" Mahanshan disagreed.

"Far away, you have to climb over two mountains." Black Box said.

"Oh... Is there any medicinal herbs or strange stones in Wolf Valley? "Ma Hanshan only thinks that there are things to make money in the mountains, and there is no specific goal, so it is really not good, and a few tigers can be exchanged for a lot of food. (Hehe, fighting tigers in this world is a hero, and there will definitely be no squeaky and crooked people who love animals.) ）

"Yes... I haven't been to ....... Black Jay said timidly.

"Damn, you haven't been talking about a." Mahanshan was speechless.

"Young master, let's go to Yunshan, I heard the old village master say that there are medicinal materials there." Ah Niu said.

Medicinal materials are not known to everyone, only those who have studied medicine and have learned from teachers know them. Because of this, Ma Hanshan thought that he could make money by going into the mountains to collect medicine. Ma Hanshan grew up in a medical family in his previous life, and he recognized three or four hundred kinds of medicinal materials.

"Okay, let's go to Yunshan first, then go to Wolf Valley, and lead the way." It's better to have a goal than to look for it all the way.

The deep mountains and the sea are treasure troves, Ma Hanshan didn't think that there were so many valuable "treasures" in Guogai Mountain, and he found a lot of things that could be exchanged for money in just one day. For example, the tung oil on Parrot Mountain, the camellia oil on Guanshan Mountain, and the open-pit phosphate mine found in the Rocky Valley. They are all good things, tung oil and tea oil are strategic materials that are very valuable, and phosphate rock... Is it possible to make some phosphate fertilizer or something?

Yunshan is a big treasure, Mahan Mountain found more than 10 kinds of expensive medicinal materials such as eucommia, salvia, dogwood, etc., there is actually a wild peach valley under the mountain, a lot of peach trees.

What surprised him the most was that there was a large piece of wild tea on the mountainside of Yunshan, a boundless piece of wild tea. Tung fruit and camellia fruit are ripe in autumn and winter, tung fruit and tea fruit must be dried and squeezed to exchange money after picking, and valuable medicinal materials are only suitable for picking in summer, even if they can pick a lot for a lot of money, it is also far away from the water to save the near fire.

And tea, now is the picking season, spring tea. He has long been tired of drinking the "assorted miscellaneous" tea that Ah Niu brewed for him, he wants to drink fragrant green tea, he wants to drink Maojian, he wants to drink Biluochun, he wants to drink Tieguanyin.

Spend the night in the cave, and the next morning, before the sun rises in Mahan Mountain, they will wake up Ah Niu and them to pick tea, and then carry a few bags of tea back to the village.

When to pick tea, how to fry tea, Ma Hanshan saw it when he traveled to the tea area in his previous life, so after returning to the village, he began to fry tea with his memory, tossed for two days, and fried several different heats of tea.

Ma Hanshan felt that he had really picked up a treasure, he couldn't imagine that the tea he tossed out blindly, the tea was so beautiful, and the tea fragrance was so strong, compared with the thousands of pounds of tea in his memory.

Ma Hanshan famously ordered this tea to be green fragrant, and he didn't know now how popular the green fragrant tea he tossed out would be. He didn't know that as soon as this tea came out, there was a whirlwind of panic buying, and people in this world either drank the efficacy of the tea, or drank the raw dried tea, and had never drunk fried tea.
