Everyone had dinner, and the village made a small casserole, one for each person, in order to entertain the officials of Lantian County.

"Is this place good?" Zhu Fan didn't care what the officials in the four counties thought, he asked the lieutenant chief directly.

"In the Tang Dynasty, Lantian County belonged to Gyeonggi County, but in the Song Dynasty, it was not so important, and even more so in the Yuan Dynasty.

Lantian County and Luonan County actually have a lot in common, but even if it is recorded in the history books, it is Luonan where gold and silver are produced, while Lantian is gradually lacking in jade.

In fact, Lantian jade has always existed, that is, the means of mining, technology is the most critical.

In addition, Lantian County, like Luonan County, has gold, and the good ones have been mined, and the rest is difficult to mine.

If we don't go over the mountain directly, take another road, through Qianyou Pass, the local river is called Shuishui, the county is called Jiuxian, and there is a wild boar flat next to it.

There is gold in that place, and there is more sand gold that is easier to mine, in fact, those gold mines that have been dug up, if you are willing to trouble a little, you can still get a lot of gold.

This chestnut is not fried well, the skin and flesh are not separated, and it is difficult to peel it, it is estimated that it is a businessman who has been to the convenience of the people.

He only knows how to fry with stones, and he hasn't learned the other details, just try a few more times. ”

"There's gold, huh? What about the rest of the stuff? Zhu Fan's eyes lit up, but he didn't care about gold.

"It's similar to Luonan, there are all natural disasters in Luonan here, and everything Luonan can plant here.

Ah! I forgot to talk about hot springs, there are more hot springs in the Qinling Mountains, and the people there should be asked to specialize in repairing hot spring pools.

Take a bath in winter, it is not easy to get skin diseases, and the hot springs in Lantian County are also good.

His Royal Highness King Qin will come here, you can go to Huaqing Pond to soak, and there are also hot springs in Bashui, which is not far from Chang'an City.

His Royal Highness has made it easier to take a bath in the future, unlike now, when he hasn't taken a bath for three days. ”

The lieutenant has nothing to say about Lantian, everything can be done with reference to Luonan County.

"It's okay, this king wrote a letter and asked someone to go over the mountain in the middle of the night to send a letter to Luonan, and the county will bring someone to repair it.

Nothing else, I told someone to tell the local officials according to Lonan's method? ”

Zhu Fan was going to arrange for a team of people to finish eating and rest quickly, and go back in the middle of the night with a lamp.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, the gold mine in the county ......" Zhu Fan didn't care about gold, the officials in the county cared, and the county magistrate Qi Wu asked expectantly.

"There are no gold mines in the county? All dug up by the Northern Yuan? Zhu Fan asked rhetorically.

"There are a few that can still be mined, but it is getting harder and harder, and the ore needs to be ground and then washed with water, and the last thing left is gold, and then melt it."

Qi Wu obviously paid attention to the gold mine, the gold mine can produce gold, since the king, the gold does not need to be handed over, and it is used to repair the palace of the King of Qin.

"Stop it first, let the miners do something else, it's going to be winter, it's good to burn some charcoal, stew a reef, wash coal.

The gold and silver mines are left there and cannot be escaped, and the king will take care of other things before mining.

The current technology is not good, there will be gold missing, and it will be labor-intensive, how long will it take to crush the ore?

Captain, there is technology in Xiaqiu Village, right? For example, can the ore be screened out quickly? ”

Zhu Fan stopped mining, there was no money to repair the palace, he could pay for it himself, and the mine was not handled well, it was all wasted.

The lieutenant nodded: "Yes, I still know where there are good mines that have not been found, I have already crushed the stones and sand that have been eliminated, and I can get a lot of gold if I start again." ”

"Look, we have a better way to get people to do the work to increase the income of the local economy, don't we burn coal and firewood in the winter? Where is the nearest mine? ”

Zhu Fan put his mind at ease, and the chief said that there was a guarantee, and he would mine it when he came over next time.

He asked again about the location of the undiscovered gold mines.

Li Chang smiled: "Just where we passed, there are several places where we can dig, and digging will produce gold." More in Lonan County. ”

"Oh my God! Give it to the king, and don't let anyone dig it up without permission. Zhu Fan regretted asking this.

"Your Royal Highness King Qin, don't worry, no one knows, just the four of us."

Qi Wu was so nervous, the news spread out, and he was unlucky.

The other three nodded their heads, they regretted it even more, why should they hear it?

Everyone continued to eat, and when they were finished, someone explained to the officials in the four counties what to do next, what to plant, and what to raise......

By the way, give them two books and let them take them to copy and master them proficiently.

In the middle of the night, a team of people set off, and Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhang's teams took turns bathing in the hot springs.

The next morning, the team did not continue to stay, but marched in the direction of Chang'an, walking along Bashui, and the small boat carrying the steam engine was put down.

Someone hung the net behind him, ran to the shore, brought in a lot of fish, and then continued to run.

In this way, the team can be provided with a part of the meat to eat, and the fishermen who are fishing on the Bashui are dumbfounded.

The boat swooped out, ran down the current, and then swished back again and sailed against the current.

Seeing net after net of fish being dumped on the shore and picked up, they looked at their boat and wanted to cry.

"Alas! With technology, fishing is countless times stronger than others, and in the future, it will be the world of steam engines. ”

Zhu Fan didn't feel sorry for his people, he only felt the changes brought about by the steam engine.

On land, under the influence of the ground and the wheel, the car advantage of the steam engine is not too great, it can only go all the time.

When you get to the water, everything becomes different and is not limited by the terrain.

"Captain." Zhu Biao sat in the same car, watched the steam engine boat running around, and asked, "Is the steam engine easy to imitate?" ”

"It's not easy to imitate, give the craftsmen a piece and let them dismantle it, and then ask them to build it, they can't build it.

Many parts are not so wanted to be made, the key is that they do not have the pressure measurement technology, and they can't understand the pressure gauge.

The steam engine was a product of basic industry, and the industry in the village was stronger than that outside.

Therefore, it is useless for others to rob one or two and steal a few, can they dismantle it and put it back and return it! ”

The chief knew what the prince was asking, and he was afraid that after mass production, he would accidentally be obtained by the 'enemy', and then others would copy it and use it against Daming.

Zhu Biao smiled: "That's fine, let's write a letter back, let my father send someone to separate the craftsmen, and teach them to make some parts in the village."

The key parts, which are made by the village themselves, are assembled when the time comes, and they are not allowed to learn from each other.

Looking at this ship, thinking of the slender man on the Yangtze River, we feel uncomfortable, with more steam engine ships, at least the big problem of inland shipping will be solved.

Especially in Sichuan, sending good things downstream, and sending them downstream to the top, the cost increases, and the people in Sichuan can't buy cheap things.

I knew it was coming, so I asked General Xu Da to bring things back. We are busy with this matter in Yingtianfu, and at the same time, we can also deter people who have different thoughts in some places after the fall of the Xia Kingdom in Sichuan. ”
