"Hey, hey, hey...... It's right that they don't know, they know, what are we digging now? ”

Zhu Fan felt that the sky was clear, and the rain that fell was the light of the sun.

He didn't know which county he was talking about elsewhere, but he remembered it in Xi'an.

Usually, he would look at the map, ponder the various conditions of his fiefdom, and consider how to build roads, build bridges, and desilt when the time comes.

Add to that the fact that wheat is grown there, is there an additional way to increase yields when growing soybeans?

How to raise poultry and livestock, and transport a large amount of iron from Yingtianfu to make agricultural tools for the people of the fiefdom.

Now I hear that there are iron ore and coal mines, what are you transporting? Tell someone to dig there.

Xianyang County knows that it is very close to Chang'an County, more than 20 miles of road, and more than 120 miles, but there is Weishui, which is upstream, and the ore will be transported down the river.

And it does not need to be transported to Chang'an County, it will pass through Xianyang County on the way and be smelted in Xianyang County.

There is a river next to it, and it is also convenient to divert water to wash coal and prepare coal, and it is directly coking.

"Captain, is there a lot of coal in Xianyang?" Zhu Fan had an idea in his heart.

"With our coal mining technology, we can mine hard, and we can't finish mining in a hundred years. Your Highness can use it with confidence, and the people will be grateful to Your Highness. ”

As soon as the chief saw Zhu Zhang's appearance, he knew what the other party wanted to do.

Sure enough, Zhu Fan rubbed his hands: "Let's give it to the people...... Belch! Is there clay there? ”

"There's a ceramic kiln there." The lieutenant replied.

"Let's make free honeycomb coal for the people and give it according to the capitation, so that they don't have to burn so much firewood, we have to plant trees.

There is so much slime after washing the coal, plus clay, which is the most suitable, and the same operation method as Baofeng County.

We have the Yellow River to transport, blow up all the dangerous places, and then run back and forth with the boat with a steam engine.

It's easy to go downstream, you can raise the sails of the boat, and when you come back, you can rely on the power of a steam engine.

Just by selling coke and good thermal coal, they can make a lot of money, and the people have coal ...... Captain, can you burn cement there? ”

Zhu Fan talked about his vision for the future, thinking that people not only need fuel, but also other things.

"The amount of limestone in the area is no less than coal, and it won't be mined in a hundred years." The lieutenant nodded.

"Limestone, plus clay, plus iron slag, oops! God has everything ready for us.

If we want to burn pottery, we will burn pottery, burn bricks and tiles if we want to burn bricks and tiles, burn cement if we want cement, and build houses for the people.

Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, let's put the department store over again, and repair the road well.

Build a greenhouse, this year is not able to build, you have to transfer the glass board from Yingtianfu, too far, the Yellow River is dry.

If you go by land, you accidentally break it all, and it's troublesome, it's really troublesome. ”

Zhu Fan continued to fantasize about his future life, and his fiefdom was prosperous.

"Your Royal Highness, there is quartz sand in the local area, plus limestone and alkali, you can burn the glaze, the alkali needs to be taken from Henan Mansion, and you can also take it by land, you can transport a lot at a time, and you are not afraid of bumps." The lieutenant chief followed.

"Forget it, without craftsmen, the craftsmen who burn the glaze cannot leave the place where they live and work.

You can help burn it once, but it's too late to build a kiln, so we can't delay it any longer.

When the rain stops, tell us the specific location, and we will send someone there to dig the coal and iron ore first.

They have almost finished planting winter wheat, so let's give them money to dig it and not make them work in vain. ”

Zhu Fan gave up the idea of building a greenhouse this year, although it is a pity.

"Your Highness can send someone there and ask them to build a glass kiln first, and burn refractory bricks first.

The clay-fired refractory bricks in Xianyang are not very good, and Tongguan County in the north has good refractory clay and bauxite.

Use that to burn out the bricks and build a glazed kiln, which we can use in the past.

Our team brought a lot of alkali, and then sent someone to Henan to get it, more horses, and came back quickly after taking the alkali.

In the process of hurrying, there were glass-burning materials around, so a simple grinder and grinder were built and grinded, and the steam engine was used to grind.

After grinding the powder, put it in and burn it into glass, and we will blow it out casually. ”

The lieutenant didn't think it was too late, so he grinded out the materials on the road and equipped them, and sent a fast horse to tell the burning of refractory bricks and the construction of kilns.

When you get to the place, you can directly throw the ground material in and burn it, and it will be burned out quickly.

"Really? Where is the material for burning glass? Zhu Fan looked at the lieutenant head steadily, afraid that hope would turn into disappointment.

"Luonan County! The county of His Royal Highness's fief has a lot of good minerals and a lot of medicinal herbs, and it is a good place. ”

Li Chang pointed to the front, the end point of the water team was Luonan County, and then everyone went over the mountain to Lantian County over there.

In Luonan County, there are materials used to burn glass, take them, and grind them all the way.

"Lonan is ours? Yes, Luonan County, Xi'an Prefecture, let's let people go over to planh the stones first, and the steam engine ship will be loaded and transported there. Come over to this king, there is something ...... great thing."

Zhu Fan arranged it, took the box containing the map, and found the location of the map and called the long finger.

Then let the clever people bring people over to order, and some of them ran back to load the alkali, and the alkali brought by the team may have other uses, and it is not enough to use in Xi'an Mansion.

Others hurried to Lonan with tools to look for materials, and the steam-engine ship on the river ran forward.

Zhu Biao was always smiling and watching and listening, he actually wanted to get a fief to play and build by himself, but unfortunately he couldn't, he had to lead the entire Ming Dynasty.

However, Xiaqiu Village is really reassuring, and the ability to solve problems is too strong, and the second brother is taught how to develop resource advantages alone.

Other farming and breeding, I think the second brother is very proficient, and there is no need for further guidance from Xiaqiu Village.

Now the burning of glaze is also clearly arranged, when you get there, blow out some glazed boards, the greenhouse will be built soon, and it will be sold to rich people in winter.

After all the things were done, the team stopped, and it was time for lunch.

The rain was still falling, but the wind was light, so everyone propped up the shed and cooked underneath.

Zhu Zhang, who had always been excited, poured himself a bowl of rice wine, drank it while watching the people in Xiaqiu Village cook, grabbed a handful of fennel beans, and threw a chew in his mouth from time to time.

He was happy, feeling that he would be able to help the people for the first time when he went to the fiefdom, and the people would definitely love him, the king of Qin.

He was also going to make money and give a lot of rewards to those who helped to repair the palace to speed them up.

He can't wait to come to the fiefdom to take care of things, only when the palace is repaired, otherwise he can only wait.

What Zhu Fan considered was that he would first go to the fiefdom and become a vassal, so he could use more people from Xiaqiu Village.

Otherwise, when the other younger brothers go to the fiefdom together, Xiaqiu Village will have no skills and can't take care of it.

As for whether you can go back after you come? It's simple, find a reason to go back during the New Year's holidays, as long as you govern the fiefdom well, your father will not drive him away.

"Lieutenant Chief, you said that in the future, our fiefdom will not need to be handed over to the land, and it will be left to us, can we be rich and rival the country?"

Zhu Fan thought about it, with the comparison, he would make a lot of money, which was higher than the income of the imperial court.
