I was a fan in ancient times [Transmigration Book]

Seeing Han Yi's unkind expression, Chu Fei quickly said, "There are certain reasons for what you said, but the biggest reason is... Even if you give them the blueprints, they can't make it."

Moqiu asked reflexively, "What's the matter? Do you not understand? Well, but that thing is quite simple, as long as there is an old carpenter in the village, it should be able to make it."

Han Yi needs drawings if he wants to promote. He must be too lazy to draw. Although Mo Ning has learned a lot from Han Yi, his drawing is still more academic.

Now that he had spoken, Han Yi naturally handed over the matter to him directly.

Mo Qiu was not ambiguous, so he brought his younger brother over to give him a popular science on the cultural knowledge level of ordinary people.

Although Mo Yun was unlucky and was sold as a slave, most of the people he came into contact with from childhood were literate. After he came to Han Yi's side, his cultural level was directly raised to the apex of this era, so it is easy for him to be surrounded by the world. Most people in the world can read and write, and those who cannot read are generally slaves.

Han Yi hadn't noticed Mo Ning's knowledge, Mo Qiu had noticed it but he didn't find a good opportunity to educate Mo Ning.

After all, if there were no facts to back it up, even if he told Mo Ning, maybe Mo Ning would gradually forget about it.

And part of the reason is that Mo Qiu feels that this matter is not important. Mo Ning will definitely have good luck in the future, and the people he contacts should rarely be illiterate, so maybe Mo Ning needs to know about this matter. But not urgently.

Now that this happened to happen, Mo Qiu simply educated his cousin by the way.

He has traveled all over the years to know what ordinary people look like, and he has also met many carpenters, and knows what kind of drawings they can understand, so he can be considered handy in drawing.

Anyway, the structure of Quyuanli itself is not too complicated.

That's why he found it strange that the problem shouldn't be on the drawings.

Sure enough, Chu Fei shook his head again and said, "Those carpenters said it's not difficult."

Han Yi weighed an ink ingot in his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Chu Fei reckoned that if he kept trying, the ink ingot might greet his head, and quickly said, "They don't use it because...they don't have materials."

Han Yi:? ? ? ? ?

No materials?

He was at a loss for a moment and said: "Aren't we promoting wooden structures and stones for key parts?"

It was because he considered that these poor people had no money, so he designed the Quyuanli with stone as the main body.

However, this thing is much worse than iron, the efficiency improvement is not as good as iron, and the time it takes is not as long as iron.

But one bite can’t make a fat man, let these people use these first, and when the harvest is more in the future, they will automatically change to more useful farm tools.

So now... what does it mean that there are no materials?

Then you need wood and stone, of course you need some processing, but... don't you even have the ability to process it?What else can these people do?

Han Yi always felt that there should be a deeper problem, but Mo Yun directly asked what he was thinking: "There is no material for wood and stone? Could it be that the stone here is not easy to use? "

Stone tools do have requirements for the hardness of the stone. It is not easy to find a suitable stone, but it is not that difficult.

What's more, they are all so poor. Let's find a similar one and plant the land first.

Chu Fei shook his head and said, "It's not about the stone, it's about the wood."

Han Yi asked: "No wood? They don't cut down trees?"

There is no concept of environmental protection these days, as long as there are trees that need to be cut down, of course, this is also because there are not many people in this era, even if trees are cut down on a large scale, more trees will grow freely in areas where no one lives.

Chu Fei said: "If you want to cut down a tree, you have to have a tree to cut down! There is no tree at all!"

Han Yi leaned forward slightly: "What do you mean? Where are the trees?"

He thought for a while and felt that the mountain he went to before did not have a lot of trees, and only when he walked inside could he get denser vegetation, but the problem is that there are still trees even if there are not many trees.

Chu Fei knew what he was thinking at a glance, and he whispered, "Mr. Lang, the place we went to before is actually... all your own land."

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, yes, that piece of hill...is his.

This was one of the items on the list he made at the beginning.

Of course, he didn't really want so much land, but Yan Zijian had already prepared to give him a lot of land.

After all, Han Yi had to live alone as an official in the past. Most of his assets are in the vicinity of Xianyang. It is not a problem to always let Xianyang transport there, so Yan Zijian simply allocated a few Zhuangzi To Han Yi, so that he can guarantee his own life.

Therefore, Han Yi already had a residence before he arrived here, and the conditions of the residence... just make do with it.

Later, Han Yi knew about it and was not hypocritical. He didn't particularly care about material life, but who wants to suffer if he can live a good life?

What's more, even if he doesn't care, he still has so many people to support.

Before he came, he knew that this place was relatively poor, and it was impossible to rely on the county's income to support so many people, so these Zhuangzi naturally couldn't refuse.

What's more, he always felt that these things seemed like Yan Zijian was compensating him, although he didn't understand why Yan Zijian wanted to compensate him.

Later, he replaced part of these villages with a large area of ​​mountains and forests. Of course, he wanted mountains and forests because he had no plan to conscript corvees to dig ditches from the beginning.

He also wanted to come back sooner. If he simply used manpower to dig, who knew that he would have to dig until the year of the monkey.

If the speed is slow, he is anxious, if the speed is too fast... Maybe he will be exhausted, so he must use extreme measures.

Extreme measures need to be tested, what is more suitable than in the mountains and forests?

Of course, the experimental site they chose later was not considered Han Yi's site, it was beyond the scope recommended by Yan Zi, but the deserted area was also vague because it was next to Zhao Guo, so no one cared.

After hearing Chu Fei's words, Han Yi subconsciously asked, "What does that have to do with this?"

Chu Fei looked around and asked: "I remember that Mr. Lang had drawn a map of this place before, and I need to talk to the map."

Han Yi turned his head and glanced at Mo Ning, who quickly took out a blueprint.

That is the map of two-thirds of the area of ​​Furong County. The reason why it is said to be half is because Han Yi only moved around two-thirds, and the remaining one-third is the villages and towns along the coast, which have not had time to go yet.

But two-thirds of this is enough, Chu Fei stretched out his hand and clicked on the map and said: "Now the whole Furong County has these parts that are suitable for timber."

Han Yi frowned when he looked at the locations he pointed out: "These locations... are all the sites of some nobles and gentry."

Chu Fei nodded: "That's right, as long as there is suitable timber, it is someone else's territory, and the places where ordinary people live are without trees."

Mo Yun asked, "What about the tree?"

This time, without waiting for Chu Fei to say anything, Han Yi said, "It must be used to cook salt."

Chu Fei was a little surprised: "Lang Jun knows?"

Han Yi nodded, of course he knew.

Salt can be regarded as a profitable commodity in this era, and people have to eat salt, so the demand is also very large.

Inland areas have bamboo salt and salt wells, and coastal areas are naturally close to the sea.

But how does sea water become salt?People in this era don't know what evaporation is, but they find that the crystals left after boiling water are salt, so salt is generally made by boiling.

Firewood is needed for cooking, isn’t it just cutting down trees?

In the plain area, the land surrounded by the gentry and nobles is fertile fields, but here it is surrounded by mountains, because firewood can be turned into salt.

When Han Yi was thinking about how to drive the economy, his first choice was salt.

But later, I still didn't choose this aspect, but chose seafood, which is more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In the final analysis, he didn't want to leave a mess for Yan Zheng.

To boost the local economy, the first thing is to change the method of salt production, and that method... Strictly speaking, there is no technical content at all, as long as someone takes a look and goes back and tries it, they will understand.

In this way, as long as there are suitable tidal flats by the sea, anyone can make salt and sell salt. How can this work?

In fact, salt and iron are the lifeblood of the country, at least in this era, no matter which aspect is restricted by others, the impact will be immeasurable, and even the imperial court may fall.

People nowadays don’t realize that it’s because they are all in the war period. The Seven Kingdoms know that the mining and smelting of metals such as bronze are in their hands, but there are loopholes to exploit. This is the point that the people can buy weapons.

The importance of salt has yet to be realized.

Han Yi knew that if the salt making and selling salt were put into personal hands now, it would be difficult to take it back when the world is unified in the future.

In fact, most of Qin's salt industry is now in the hands of individuals.

Because cooking salt requires a lot of money, there are not many people who can make a profit in this area, and there are only two people in the whole Qin State-one is Jiang Buwei, and the other is Yan Zijian.

Yan Zijian's share was the inheritance left by the royal family, while Jiang Buwei used his huge wealth to bring the salt industry under his hands little by little after gaining status.

Now Qin's control over salt lies in the permission to sell it. You can only sell it if the state allows you to sell it, otherwise it is a crime. Qin's laws are not a joke.

Of course, there must be private salt, but there are not many, because the transportation is not convenient enough these days, and because it is not a unified dynasty, you may need to cross the war zone if you want to transport it.

Han Yi thought about it, if he advocated the nationalization of the salt industry, Jiang Buwei would definitely not be willing.

But Jiang Buwei is unwilling, and if Han Yi insists on doing it, first of all, he will hit Jiang Buwei by reducing costs and prices. Jiang Buwei's cost is higher than his selling price, so naturally he will not be able to do it at that time.

But this matter... Han Yi will not move now, Jiang Buwei has tied up many wealthy businessmen and court ministers with salt, he is challenging the interests of this group of people by himself, or he will be smashed to pieces , even Yan Zijian couldn't keep him.

Not to mention that Yan Zijian may not be willing to protect him.

Han Yi needed a more mature time, at least after Jiang Buwei stepped down and liquidated his group of people, it was suitable to do so.

As for starting to accumulate funds by drying salt in Furong County, there is no need for it. It is not that he will not leave here. After he leaves, it is hard to say whether the salt fields here can be kept.

Han Yi originally thought that if he didn't engage in Yan, Yan would not bother him.

As a result, I didn't expect to go around and go back to the salt again.
