Chapter 85: The sperm-making female partner chooses to farm (34)

Chapter 85: A female partner chooses farming (34)

Since the discovery of hematite, the coal he transported from the North has been used for iron making.

However, the quantity of this item is limited, and the reserve is about to bottom out. If we continue, we can only ask the people to buy firewood.

But the firewood is so short-lived that no matter how much you buy, you can't even burn a few furnaces, and the temperature can't reach the temperature required to smelt weapons.

I was worried about this matter, and I brought back such good news on the 15th!

“Rewards! Lots of rewards!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

After appreciating his subordinates, Yan Kejin turned to meet Xu Yin's smiling eyes, and her eyes softened: "The princess is still thoughtful."

Xu Yin: “…”

This credit is a bit wasted.

She was purely trying to complete the system task, and she didn't want to accidentally discover the coal mine.

However, it can be seen from this that the natural resources of the Southern Barbarians are indeed quite rich, but the people do not understand and the officials are not dedicated, resulting in them being covered in the ground like dusty pearls for many years.

Youmeishan has made a good start, and Xu Yin doesn't need to remind her. Yan Kejin is more motivated than her and wants to continue sending people to various places for inspections.

Xu Yin stopped him dumbfounded: "The Chinese New Year will be here in less than a month. If we send them out at this time, wouldn't we be asking them to stay in a foreign country for the Chinese New Year? How lonely they are!"

This gave him the idea of immediately sending people to explore other counties.

After that, as the guards who visited various places such as the west of the county, the north of the county, and the southeast of the county returned with more or less harvests, Xu Yin finally heard the system's notification that the task of "exploring Baigui County" was completed.

Get the map of Baigui County produced by the system, detailing the rich aquatic products in each tributary and the mineral resources covered by each mountain.

I really have the sense of control of "one picture in hand, the world I have".

Not to mention anything else, just talking about mineral resources, energy minerals, metal mines, non-metallic minerals, large and small, add up to hundreds.

It’s just that some mineral reserves are small, and the current development technology is not advanced enough. If it is not fully developed, it will be wasted. But there are also some mineral reserves that are astonishing.

For example, Junnan’s manganese ore, rare earths, and gypsum.

Silver mines, copper mines, granite, and marble in the east of the county.

Iron ore, limestone and kaolin in the county.

Aluminum mines, gold mines, and coal mines in the west of the county.

Silver mines, tin mines, and lead mines in the north of the county.

Gold, silver, copper and iron—the four major diamonds in the metal world are alive together!

All kinds of metallurgical auxiliary materials and building materials are also available.

With thousands of mines under his belt, who still cares about the title of a mere prince?

Xu Yin couldn't help but complain in her heart.

After all, the current emperor has not yet reached the age of abdication and has tasted the sweetness of power. Who among ordinary emperors is willing to take the initiative to abdicate? As a result, I don't know how long it will take to wait for the prince to ascend the throne.

It would be better to make your own fortune, refine your own weapons, and build your own powerful kingdom in a quiet corner of the fiefdom.

Speaking of weapons, Xu Yin couldn't help but think of saltpeter, which can be used to make both ice and gunpowder.

Look for it carefully on the map immediately.

Got it!

In the mountains at the junction of Baigui and Baipu counties.

The reserves are not large. Compared with the coal mines, iron ores, kaolin and other rich mineral reserves that stretch for hundreds of miles, this small saltpeter mine is not impressive at all.

Fortunately, saltpeter ore is not as widely used as iron ore. Moreover, even if the demand increases greatly in the future, there will be several other counties.

She did not believe that there was only this small saltpeter mine in the entire southern barbarians.

Xu Yin used the old-fashioned technology of small world time and system exchange in the 1980s to make the map of Baigui County into a parchment that is about hundreds of years old.

Of course, before this, those small reserves of mines that did not have advanced technology and were not suitable for current development were eliminated, and only one or two energy mines such as oil and natural gas were left.

“Where did the princess get this treasure map?” …”

Xu Yin thought about his reaction, but she didn't expect that he would characterize the map as a treasure map.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s right! What is the difference between a map marked with various large mines and a treasure map?

A gold mine is equivalent to countless treasures.

What's more, there are more than one gold and silver mines marked on it.

"No matter where I got it, I'm giving it to the prince now! I hope the prince can make good use of it."

Let’s develop it aggressively!

Try to use the shortest possible time to build Nanman into a safe city that cannot be breached by foreign enemies!

If you have no money, open a gold or silver mine or something.

When money is abundant, build ships, cannons, and train troops.

Concrete roads have been laid all over the Southern Barbarians, high-yield grains of all kinds are available in every corner of the Southern Barbarians, and large ships that are not afraid of wind, waves and pirates can travel to the ends of the world.

There is no need to relieve the court, no need to go to the court, and even have a nose, and even more full, warmer, and live a better life than the Central Plains!

Go!

Bring your ideals and ambitions to create a prosperous Taoyuan and a prosperous world.

Xu Yin is quite middle-grade.

After giving the parchment map to Yan Kejin, she stopped asking about it. Mine mining was really not what she was good at.

And she is also very busy: making soy sauce, making tofu, and building a textile workshop.

It is also planned to improve the original spinning and looms into water conservancy spinning machines and looms.

In addition, the sugar workshop will be put into use soon.

As the new year approaches, the sugar cane finally matures.

In addition to Wangfu Zhuangzi, Chenjiazhuang at the foot of the strange mountain also brought tons of green sugar cane.

On the day the sugar shop opened, Yan Kejin accompanied Xu Yin.

 In addition to the servants from the prince's government who were given contracts to sell themselves, there were also many civilians who came out to look for part-time jobs during the winter.

Day laborers are responsible for transporting sugar cane, pressing sugar cane, and processing bagasse.

The technical tasks such as sugar boiling, decolorization, and sugar making are in the hands of your own people.

This is the first Nanman specialty product to enter the Central Plains, and it cannot be overstated.

The giant wooden juicer has been assembled. The first batch of sugar cane is brought to the workshop, the heads and tails are removed, washed and peeled, cut into small sections, and put into the large container of the juicer.

The solar motor started running, making a buzzing sound. The sugar cane segments entered the mixing barrel. The sharp iron blades were as sharp as mud, and it was easy to stir the sugar cane.

Soon, the sugarcane juice gathered in the wooden water tank below and flowed down the **** into a large iron pot.

When it is seven to eight minutes full, put down the flapper and cut off the juice. The juice will continue to flow forward to the second large iron pot...and so on.

The workers have an orderly division of labor. Some are responsible for burning the fire and controlling the temperature, while others are responsible for stirring.

The stirred syrup, if used to make brown sugar, is transferred to the brown sugar molding workshop for cooling. The cooled sugar cubes are then crushed and ground into brown sugar powder and molded into beautiful small pieces of brown sugar.

If you are making white sugar, the syrup step is transferred to the white sugar workshop. After using activated carbon to decolorize, high temperature will precipitate crystal clear white sugar.

The first batch of sugar was produced, which excited the workers in the mill.

Sugar!

Sugar, which is classified as a luxury product like soy sauce, is actually made by them!

Before I came to apply for a job at a sugar shop, I never thought that the sugar shop actually made sugar. I thought that it used sugar cubes such as honey and caramel to make snacks and candies.

Xu Yin tasted the newly baked brown sugar and white sugar, and nodded approvingly: "Not bad! It seems that I have mastered everything. From now on, Fucheng Sugar Factory will be left to you two."

Qiu Shuang and Cai Lian looked at each other happily and nodded vigorously: "I will definitely live up to the princess' trust!"
