Lin Ze's general idea of solving the problem was understood by Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan on the side.

But when it comes to the details, they have more problems.

At this time, both brother and sister incarnated as 100,000 whys.

Ji Kan asked: "Ziyi, I know that there are a lot of gold, silver, copper and iron minerals in the Hengduan Mountains, after all, some barbarians will smelt metal to make armor and weapons by themselves, but if you want to mine the minerals in the Hengduan Mountains, you can't just dig them out." ”

"The bigger cost is transportation, maybe it is still profitable to mine gold, silver, copper and iron ore from the mountains, but if you transport these materials out of the mountains, you may lose money because of the high transportation costs."

On the side, Ji Qingyan also raised her own questions: "I heard Ziyi's meaning, I plan to use wool to spin, but in fact, wool can't get rid of grease and has a strong smell, so it can't be used for spinning, and the taste of the finished product is difficult for normal people to accept." ”

"And there is also the most critical question, food, the food burden of four million people, even if these four million people can make up for half of their consumption by getting food on their own, but how can the food of the remaining two million people be supplied?"

"There is not so much surplus food for the people here in the Great Zhou, it is impossible to cause famine in the country because of the pacification of border troubles, so it is better to send a large army to harvest a wave of aliens, at least in the end, the fertilizer water will not flow into the fields of outsiders."

There are countless capable people on the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can't they come up with these methods for Lin Ze?

They came up with it, but they couldn't solve it, so in the end they had to come up with the simplest, crudest, but most effective way.

Kill!

And it just so happened that Lin Ze, who came from the main world with more advanced productive forces, had a way to solve these problems, so he put forward these ideas.

Facing the questions raised by the two Highnesses, Lin Ze said: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry, listen to me, and answer His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea first." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Ze got up, pointed to the wooden railcars that were running not far away, and said with a smile: "Your Highness thinks that this wooden railcar is transporting well?" ”

Ji Kan replied: "Skillful." ”

After finishing speaking, some realizations appeared in his mind: "Ziyi, you want to say that if you build a similar wooden rail car in the mountains, and then transport the products in the mountains at a lower cost, then there will indeed be no problem of losing money." ”

Speaking of this, Ji Kan also drew inferences: "If this rail car is built stronger and taller, and it can also be used to transport troops, if there is a rebellion in the mountains, you can easily send a large army and masters to suppress it." ”

"No, maybe it is the best policy to directly rule the Hengduan Mountains in the middle of the mountain, and then regularly use rail cars to transport grain and grass to the mountains to ensure the ability to control the army, which is the work of opening up the territory and expanding the territory."

Hearing this, Lin Ze nodded and said: "Your Highness, what you said is very right, what I want is a similar method, this wooden rail car is not enough to take on the important task of connecting the Hengduan Mountain Range, but there is an upgraded alternative called the railway train that can take on this important task." ”

Speaking of this, a grenade appeared in Lin Ze's hand, pulled out the fuse and threw it into the river.

Bang!

A huge explosion sounded, and the river shook and rolled, forming a huge wave.

——

"If you want to build a railway, you have to dig rocks, and when the time comes, you can use gunpowder."

After a pause, Lin Ze waited until the brother and sister digested it before continuing: "After solving these two key problems, if you want to open a mine in the Hengduan Mountain Range, form a de facto rule here, and solve the problem of barbarian attacks and border passes, you can complete it." ”

Then, Lin Ze looked at Ji Qingyan: "Your Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, I also know what you said about the fact that wool cannot be spun, but I have a way to get rid of the smell of wool, and then use it to weave cloth and make clothes." ”

"Today, countless people can only hide at home to avoid being frozen to death in autumn and winter, if this woolen cloth is formed, it can naturally sell well in the world with a steady stream of income, and then the people of the whole grassland can be allowed to herd sheep and weave cloth for us."

"Once they have something to do and can earn money to support their families, the problems will naturally disappear."

When the words came to this, Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan didn't speak, quietly waiting for Lin Ze to talk about the most important place.

Lin Ze's plans are very good, but there is a very important premise, that is, there must be enough food.

If the food gap for these two million people cannot be solved, no matter how good the plan is, it will be nothing more than a duckweed without roots.

In this regard, Lin Ze did not sell it, and after talking about the wool cloth, he directly talked about the most important food topic: "Dare to ask the two highnesses, what conditions do you depend on if you want a bumper harvest of grain?" ”

In this regard, Ji Qingyan said without hesitation: "If you want to have a bumper harvest of grain, in addition to having good weather conditions, you must also take care of irrigation diligently to prevent pests and diseases. ”

The children of the royal family of the Ji family of the Great Zhou Dynasty all had to farm when they were young, one was to experience the hardships of the people, and the other was to exercise their physique and lay the foundation for martial arts.

"Could it be that Ziyi still has a way to increase grain production?"

Ji Kan opened his mouth suspiciously, with a kind of forbearant excitement in his eyes.

If Lin Ze really has a way, it will be a great thing.

The ruler, of course, is the more people who rule below, the higher he can stand as the superior.

An increase in grain production will undoubtedly lead to an increase in population.

Hearing this, Lin Ze nodded and said: "Now the Great Zhou Dynasty is generally smooth, and the grain varieties are also excellent after generations of screening, so we can work the amount of fertility, if the fertilizer is sufficient, it is not difficult to double the grain output." ”

"At present, there are only two or three hundred catties of grain harvest in one acre of lower fields, and the harvest in the upper fields is barely more than four hundred catties of output.

"I know how to make fertilizer, and the shortage of food and grass for two million people can be made up for by a bumper harvest in one county."

"It happens to be the autumn and winter season, and the fertilizer will be prepared from this moment, and it will be just in time for the spring ploughing next year, and now we can use the reserve grain to support the management of the southern barbarians and the northern nomads, and when the autumn harvest is next year, the harvest of grain and grass can just be continued."

Mankind has moved from an agrarian society to an industrial society, and food production has skyrocketed.

While seed improvement plays a large role, one of the most important factors is the large-scale use of fertilizers, which is the root cause of the skyrocketing grain production.

Otherwise, no matter how good the grain seeds are, they are not supported by fertilizers, and they are useless.

Good!

At this time, Ji Kan finally couldn't help but slap the table excitedly and stood up.

"Ziyi's move is not only to calm the border troubles, but also to make many people of the Great Zhou have enough food and clothing, and I thank you on behalf of tens of thousands of people in the world."

Ji Kan excitedly pulled Lin Ze to speak, and even took the initiative to bow to Lin Ze to thank him.

Acting in this way with the dignity of a prince shows his agitation.

After the ceremony, Ji Kan got up and said: "I will immediately go to the imperial brother to ask for credit for you, directly crown you as an earl, and wait for next year's harvest, it is not a problem to be directly promoted to the marquis." ”

Lin Ze's expression did not see the excitement of being about to get glory and wealth, and said in a calm tone: "Don't be happy too early, although fertilizer is useful, but the production of fertilizer also requires time and labor costs, and it is not an overnight thing to promote it." ”

Ji Kan didn't care, patted Lin Ze's shoulder with a smile and said, "Ziyi, you are younger than me, but you are too calm, you should be happy when you should be happy." ”

Turning his head, he said to his sister on the side: "Qingyan, you and Ziyi stay here for a while, and this king will write a letter to report this matter to the royal brother. ”

After saying that, he got up and left.

——

In the quiet study, only Lin Ze and Ji Qingyan were left.

This is the study, but Ji Kan wrote a letter but left here, his intention was obvious, that is, to let the two of them be alone.

Even when he gets along with a royal princess like Ji Qingyan, Lin Ze doesn't have any cramped and unnatural emotions.

Looking at the calm young man beside him, Ji Qingyan felt that he was very different from some time ago.

I can't describe this feeling, if I have to say it, it's extraordinarily high-spirited.

When she had any questions, Ji Qingyan asked directly: "Ziyi, I feel that you have been a little high-spirited recently, have you encountered anything good?" ”

Facing Ji Qingyan's question, Lin Ze nodded and said, "There has been a breakthrough in cultivation." ”

Lin Ze is indeed very high-spirited.

Before he had the Heavenly Gate, he mentally despised all living beings in the two worlds.

Because he knows that his future is extremely broad, and he is destined to reach a height far beyond everyone's imagination.

As long as Lin Ze doesn't care about his own life, he can even destroy the world.

This is very simple, you only need to open the other side of the Heavenly Gate next to the star, and then let go of the restriction of the Heavenly Gate to isolate matter, and the great power of the sun can instantly evaporate a planet, and destroy the entire human civilization by the way.

But this is just a hole card that flips the table, and it can't be used easily when it's not in a desperate situation.

Lin Ze's body is too fragile, and there are too many dangers in the two worlds that can kill him, so in terms of actual actions, Lin Ze is low-key and restrained.

Because he doesn't have much ability to protect himself, if he attracts the attention of others at the beginning, he will face a lot of dangers.

And now it was different, Lin Ze had already gained enough self-preservation ability through the strengthening of the Heavenly Gate, and he was not even afraid of the surprise attack of peerless masters.

If it had been before, Lin Ze would never have put forward these high-profile and radical plans at the moment, because it would attract him too much attention and cause unexpected dangers.

But now Lin Ze is not stingy with the production technology of the main world to stir up the storm, because this will no longer bring danger to him, but will speed up his development.

"It's still not enough to condense the true cultivation, but the spirit is much stronger, and there is a clearly visible divine light in his eyes."

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Ze carefully and approved his words.

"Ziyi, what you just said about opening a mine in the Hengduan Mountains and buying wool and opening a textile factory in the northern grasslands, do you plan to do it alone or cooperate with others?"

Ji Qingyan knew that her brother took the initiative to walk away because she had the idea of matching him with Lin Ze, after all, Lin Ze was showing extraordinary value at the moment.

But for the time being, Ji Qingyan really doesn't have a good impression of Lin Ze in terms of male and female affection, she likes what can overpower her in martial arts.

Although Lin Ze's combat power is strong, he borrowed foreign things.

The life span of a celestial warrior is guaranteed to be more than one hundred and fifty years old, and it is not uncommon for her grandfather to live to be more than two hundred years old, Ji Qingyan is confident that she will be able to reach this realm in the future.

She wants her future husband to grow old with her, instead of finding a short-lived ghost who lives less than half of herself.

So she didn't want the atmosphere between the two sides to become ambiguous, and forcibly turned the topic to her career.

"Do you think I can do it alone?"

"If I don't think of you as a partner with the King of the East Sea, why should I tell you about these plans? Just to let you see that I have good things, but I don't give them to you to make you blush? ”

"You can tell me what you can do, so that I can decide how much profit you will receive according to your role."

Lin Ze said politely.

Lin Ze's businesslike attitude was very much in line with Ji Qingyan's wishes, and she said with a smile: "If my brother moves his fief from Wangjiang City in the East China Sea to near the North Customs, then I can move the fief to Fufeng County, which is close to the Hengduan Mountains." ”

"When the time comes, I'll deal with the issues related to Nanban."

These royal children have all received the most elite education, and may have different personalities and morals, but their abilities and martial arts should not be underestimated.

"Since you have faith, you can."

"Recently, prepare more food, gold and silver personnel and these things as start-up capital, let's meet in Fufeng County to discuss the specific details, I also need to prepare for a period of time here, and at the same time solve the problem of the Western Regions first."

Lin Ze said.

"I can come up with about 200,000 taels of silver, is that enough?"

Hearing Lin Ze say that he wanted to take out as much gold and silver as possible, Ji Qingyan said a little unconfidently.

"According to my understanding, you princes and princess-level nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty have had an income since childhood, and they have fifty or sixty thousand taels a year alone, right? There are other miscellaneous industrial incomes, and the rewards of your emperor's brother add up to two or three hundred thousand yuan a year. ”

"Even if you put aside the part of your expenditure, it is not a problem to save 50,000 taels a year, I see that you are in your twenties and almost thirty years old, how can you save 1 million taels from childhood to adulthood, this is only 200,000 taels of deposits???"

Lin Ze frowned and asked.

"Lin Ze, you don't cultivate much internal strength, internal strength is weak, how do you know that internal strength cultivation costs a lot of money?"

Listening to Lin Ze, big sister, you are so old, and there must be a lot of savings in the tone of the bear ghost, Ji Qingyan couldn't help but break the defense.

Then, he complained endlessly.
