The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm: Chapter 85 The female matchmaker chooses to farm 34

  Chapter 85 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (34)

  Since he discovered hematite, he has always used the coal he transported from the north to make iron.

   But the quantity of this thing is limited, and the reserve is almost bottomed out, so if we continue, we can only ask the people to buy firewood.

   But the firewood is too useless, no matter how much you buy, you can't burn a few furnaces, and the temperature can't reach the weapon smelting.

   I am worrying about this matter, and Shiwu brings back such good news!

   "Rewards! There are many rewards!"

   "Thank you, my lord!"

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

  Xu Yin: "..."

  This credit is a bit false.

  She was purely to complete the system tasks, so she didn't expect to discover the coal mine by accident.

  However, it can be seen from this that the natural resources of Nanman are indeed quite rich, but the people don't understand it and the officials don't do their best, which leads to it being covered in the ground like dusty pearls for many years.

   Meishan has made a good start, and Xu Yin doesn't need to remind her that Yan Kejin is more motivated than her, and wants to continue to send people to various places for carpet-like investigations.

  Xu Yin stopped him dumbfounded: "The Chinese New Year will be in less than a month. Sending them out at this time, isn't it going to let them stay in a foreign country for the Chinese New Year? How lonely!"

   This dispelled his idea of ​​sending people to other counties to explore immediately.

  Afterwards, as the guards who went to the west, north, and southeast of the county returned with more or less harvest, Xu Yin finally heard the system's ding about the completion of the task of [Explore Baigui County].

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

   Really have the sense of control of "one picture in hand, the world is mine".

   Not to mention anything else, just talk about mineral resources, energy mines, metal mines, and non-metal mines, all of which add up to hundreds.

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

  For example, manganese ore, rare earth, and gypsum in Junnan.

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

  County iron ore, limestone, kaolin.

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

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

  Gold, silver, copper, and iron—the four kings of the metal world are alive!

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

  Sitting on thousands of mines, who cares about the title of prince?

  Xu Yin couldn't help complaining in her heart.

  After all, the current emperor has not yet reached the age of seventy to abdicate, and has tasted the sweetness of power. Who is willing to give way to ordinary emperors? In this way, it is unknown how long it will take for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

   It would be better to spend your own money secretly, refine your own weapons, and build your own powerful kingdom in a remote fiefdom.

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

   Quickly searched carefully on the map.

   Got it!

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

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

   But fortunately, saltpeter mines are not as widely used as iron mines, and even if the demand increases greatly in the future, there are still a few other counties.

  She didn't believe that there was only this small saltpeter mine in the whole Nanban.

  Xu Yin used the old-fashioned technology of exchanging the small world time with the system in the 1980s to make the map of Baigui County into a parchment scroll with a history of about hundreds of years.

   Of course, before that, those small reserve mines that do not have advanced technology and are not suitable for current development have been erased, and only one or two energy mines such as oil and natural gas have been left.

   Even so, the content of this parchment is enough to shock Yan Kejin.

   "Where did the princess get this treasure map?"

   "..."

  Xu Yin thought about his reaction, but she didn't expect him to define 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 mine and silver mine marked on it.

   "No matter where you got it, give it to the prince now! I hope the prince will make good use of it."

  Let's develop boldly!

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

   If you run out of money, open a gold or silver mine or something.

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

  Concrete roads are paved to all parts of Nanman, and high-yield grains are spread all over the corner of Nanman. Large ships that are not afraid of wind, waves and pirates can travel to the ends of the world.

  Basic food, housing, transportation, no need for government relief, no need to rely on others, even better than the people in the Central Plains, eat more, dress warmer, and live better in small life!

  Go!

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

  Xu Yin thought rather secondary.

  Give Yan Kejin the map of the parchment, and she will stop asking about it. Mining and other things are really not what she is good at.

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

   It is also planned to improve the original spinning and weaving machines into hydraulic spinning machines and silk weaving machines.

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

   As the year approaches, the sugar cane finally matures.

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

  The day the sugar shop opened, Yan Kejin came with Xu Yin.

  The folks in the workshop, in addition to the servants of the palace holding the contracts of prostitution, there are also many civilians who come out to look for short-term labor in winter leisure.

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

   Technical tasks such as sugar boiling, decolorization, and sugar refining are in the hands of their own people.

   This is the first Nanman specialty product that entered the Central Plains, and it can't be overstated.

  The giant wooden juicer has been assembled. The first batch of sugar cane is pulled to the workshop, the head and tail are removed, washed and peeled, cut into small pieces, and put into the large container of the juicer.

  The solar motor is running, making a buzzing motor sound, and the sugarcane segments enter the mixing tank. The sharp iron blades are like mud, and it is easy to stir the sugarcane.

   Soon, sugarcane juice gathered into the wooden sink below and flowed into a large iron pot along the slope.

  Wait until it is seven or eight minutes full, put down the plugboard, cut off the juice, and the juice will continue to flow forward to the second big iron pot...and so on.

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

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

  If it is white sugar, it is transferred to the white sugar workshop at the syrup step. After decolorization with activated carbon, white sugar that is crystal clear as snow is precipitated at high temperature.

  The first batch of sugar was produced, but the workers in the workshop were very excited.

  Sugar!

  Sugar, which is classified as a luxury product like soy sauce, actually came from their hands!

  Before applying for a job at the sugar workshop, did you ever think that the sugar workshop actually makes sugar? You thought it used honey, caramel and other candies to make snacks.

  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, the Fucheng Sugar Factory will be handed over to you two."

  Qiu Shuang and Cai Lian looked at each other happily, and nodded vigorously: "I will definitely live up to my concubine's trust!"
