    It seems that more than two-thirds of the people here are around the poverty line, and in the other one-third, the number of wealthy households and landlords is probably less than one-tenth, and the rest are, at most, hovering above those on the poverty line.  The people are stronger, but not much stronger.  "We have only a few dozen landowners here, and only a hundred wealthy merchants. Here, there is a market every fifth or tenth day, and the surrounding people will come over to sell their specialties, or rice.  There are also some hunted wild beasts, mountain products and the like" The more I talked, the more speechless I became. I was very poor. I originally stayed in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and felt that life in ancient times was very beautiful. When I came to the place that belongs to me, I  After entering the county government, what I saw and heard along the way was really hard to accept.  One word: poor, two words: very poor, three words: super poor.  This young master is sitting in a daze in this bedroom that has been cleaned, looking at the big candlelight, and it is an indescribable smell.  First, there is no industry, and commerce is not developed, and agriculture is almost the same as slash-and-burn farming.  I'm very glad that I didn't travel through such a place, and I'm even more fortunate that I didn't travel through the war-torn Shandong and Henan. Otherwise, I might have been killed by the rebellious people or the officers and soldiers who came to suppress me just after I crossed over.  maybe.  Khan ɶ What is the idea of ??unpredictable and ghosts, how can I go there at once and come back.  It seems that I have a lot of things to do.  But the most important first thing is to build roads first.  Build the road to the coal mine, and the other thing is to expand the dock.  Early the next morning, I took people to the coal mine. To be honest, the coal mine was not far from the city, about fifteen miles, and the county seat was about seven miles from the river bank. However, this was  roundabout.  ¡°If it were the direct distance from the coal mine to the river bank, it would probably be less than ten miles.  Moreover, when we got here, we discovered that the terrain of the coal mine here was fairly flat and there was no need to climb over the mountains. You only needed to walk through two valleys and you could go directly to the river bank.  ¡° Moreover, the valley is spacious enough and the mountains are low and gentle, so it is not difficult to cut mountains and stones.  And if it is transported from here to Luoyang by river, the cost is actually not high, because it is by water, and there is no need for a lot of manpower and animal power to transport.  Just enough ships to deliver.  According to the estimate of the old master, if the coal mine here wants to mine a large amount of coal, it can produce at least 20,000 kilograms of coal every day. The only difficulty is transportation. Transportation is really not a big deal for me who owns a large number of horses.  No, it's a pity that there are no railroad tracks or steam locomotives in this era. Otherwise, 20,000 kilograms of coal would only account for one-third of the wagons.  When I asked him if he could produce 100,000 kilograms per day, this old guy looked at me with a crazy look, which made my face dark with anger.  Damn, it¡¯s just a hundred thousand pounds, is it so difficult?  Think about future generations, there are many large coal mines with a daily output of one million kilograms, not to mention one hundred thousand kilograms.  I don¡¯t want to be boastful, I just want to increase production.  "Sir, one person can dig up to three to five hundred kilograms a day at most. But after digging, it has to be transported out of the mine. Therefore, if one person goes up there, he can only carry fifty or sixty kilograms at most.  , and then go down again, back and forth" Li Yuanfang saw the expression on my young master's face and quickly explained, "Hearing what he said, I realized that there are no explosives or electric machinery in this era, and even when I look at them  For those miners, in addition to a pickaxe, they only have a backpack.  There are almost no other things. I can see more than fifty workers excavating diligently on this large dark ridge, or open-pit coal mine.  Fortunately, it is open-air. Otherwise, a gas explosion or underground work would be too scary. In this era, there are no explosion-proof lights.  No." The old guy seemed to have thought that this young master was not only the magistrate of this county, but also a dignified official. He seemed to feel that it was not appropriate for him to have just despised a national official, so he quickly said with a smile.  "It's okay, it's okay. We have so few talents, and we have to climb up the ridge to dig. It's really difficult to expand production." Chong waved his hand indifferently to the old guy. I'm not the kind of person who can do anything if others say it.  What a traitor, besides, what this old master said makes sense.  Maybe in the future, we will find ways to increase production. At this stage, what I want to do is to work hard to build roads. However, without explosives today, it is too difficult to cut mountains and rocks to build roads.  ,Fortunately, the pavement here does not need to do that.  After seeing the coal mine, I naturally went to take a look at the valley. It was a total of thirty-five miles from the coal mine, which was not too far. However, the journey was very difficult. I had to climb two mountains and then go back again.  After passing through a narrow valley, you can enter the valley which is about ten miles long and nearly four miles wide.  This narrow valley was found by local hunters who led the way. Otherwise, if you want to enter, you can only go through the mountains.It would take at least another two hours to climb up to the top, and the mountain is so steep that even a horse cannot ride it.  The valley is only a dozen meters wide and nearly a mile long, and the horse underneath him can only wade in through the water with difficulty. This mile alone took almost an hour.  After entering the valley, I felt that the temperature here seemed to be warmer than outside, and the lush wild grass was as beautiful as the ears of rice about to be harvested.  After coming out of the valley, there were endless grass mats everywhere, and the slope inside was not as steep as the outside, but relatively gentle. I jumped off the horse, pulled out the sword Hanzhang from my waist, and pierced it.  When you pull out a knife in the soil, you can see that at the roots of the weeds, there is the kind of fat black mud. There has been no trace of people for countless years, and the weeds have gone through countless reincarnations, cultivating these lands to an incomparable level.  "It is indeed a good place. Hey, there is actually wild alfalfa here?" I looked at the plants hanging on the blade, and my eyes suddenly lit up. Damn it, God is really helpful. Not only did he give it to me, he  Such a good horse breeding ground, even the fodder is prepared.  "Sir, this is really a treasure land. It can support four to five thousand horses, and there is also a water source. Look over there, the river flows through there. It's a pity that it's not very convenient to get in and out." Li Yuanfang was excited.  He patted the horse that was munching on these yellow and green wild alfalfa, with a look of joy on his face.  And the people behind me also have faces full of joy.  "It's such a big valley. If we raise horses, it can even be used for training horses." The tribesmen talked a lot there.  "It's already very good. If it's easy to get in and out, can it be our turn to use such a treasure land?" I rolled my eyes at this guy, he was really greedy.  Under the guard of Li Yuanfang, Sister Qingxia and about fifty people, they slowly rode their horses to the river about half a mile away from the valley.  The river was turbulent and rushing towards the southeast. The river was only about fifty steps wide, with waves and white foam rolling over it. Where I stood was a huge flat stone. I watched the river rumble by under my feet.  The abundant amount of water really makes me smile.  "At the southeastern exit from the valley, the valley suddenly widened a lot. It didn't look like a river, but rather like a lake, which was at least about three hundred steps wide.  The river formed a low waterfall in the narrow and wide places. The river rumbled down, forming a light mist in that area.  And beside the lake, there is also a large open space. After looking at the topography of the valley, I took the sketch map of the valley that Zheng Chen handed me.  I pointed the riding crop in my hand at the boulder I was standing on: "The amount of water in this area is extremely abundant, just in time. This area will be used to set up smelting plants, waterwheels, water hammers, and other things."  , In addition, the place where people live is arranged close to the valley, it is better to be farther away from here, so as not to affect other people's rest when working in the factory. As for the stable, it is arranged at the other end, well, it is more up here.  Build a few bridges, you know?" "Don't worry, young master, I'll mark them right now." After Li Yuanfang gave the command with understanding, a dozen members of the tribe flew towards their goals.  "This will be my first base in the future, and this is the starting point of my future." I took a deep breath, looked at this vast valley, and couldn't help laughing.  Sister Qingxia behind me looked at this valley, wondering what she was thinking, her eyes were full of bright light.  For five whole days, I have been running around Hancheng County under the protection of the tribe. Well, I have recorded everything I saw with my own eyes. I have to say that although Hancheng County  It's very poor, but this land is really good.  There are iron mines and coal mines, and according to the prospectors who came to explore in the early stage, there is a lot of limestone here. As for clay, it is everywhere on the ground. If you want to build cement, lime and other building materials factories here, there is no problem at all.  ¡°Well, that¡¯s very good. In this way, all I have to worry about is labor.  However, I believe that a large number of refugees will definitely be called in in the near future.  "Sir, there were originally four grain kilns here in Hancheng County, with a storage of 40,000 dan of grain. After receiving your news, we stepped up the construction of ten more grain kilns. However, if we want to transport grain in from outside, we only need to  Able to walk by water. "Now, three of the new grain kilns are fully stocked, and two are not yet full, with a total of 80,000 shi.  "Zheng Ye stood in front of me and pointed to the grain storage kiln that was nearly twenty steps in diameter. This was a grain store that was opened in my name as early as last year. It is located outside the county seat of Hancheng County.  next industry.
