Bai Ji knew about Yan’s betting against others early on. However, he didn’t take it to heart. As the saying goes, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Everything can be known in two months.

What he thought was to promote the potatoes as soon as possible, so he modified the growth time of the potatoes. It originally took about three months, but now it only takes two months. Fertilizer is essential, so I won’t go into details.

In addition to potatoes, more than a dozen stones of corn were also pushed out. After his improvement, the yield increased slightly and the growth cycle decreased.

Watermelon rice was temporarily sealed, and he cultivated the peppers and tomatoes himself. In the Jingyang Mansion, he ordered people to open a vegetable field, about half an acre of land, and plant some chili and tomatoes very well.

The genes of our flower planter are not vegetarians. For example, the house I rented before was not big, so Baiji still planted two handfuls of green onions. Now, such a big house is just right for farming, so it cannot be wasted.

These days, Jingyang has been very busy all over the past few days, especially those craftsmen. Under the stimulation of copper coins, they work hard one by one. A curved plow makes six cents!

This job is not complicated, the process can be rougher, mainly for solid and durable. Lu Jiang joined forces with another blacksmith. The blacksmith specially built plow walls and plowshares, and he made the whole thing. After getting 6 and 4 points, the efficiency has been greatly improved. Qin State already had assembly line production, so it was not difficult to think of this.

Lu Jian is smart, and other craftsmen are not stupid, they all follow this. However, it will take two or three months to fully implement it.

Chunyu Yue made a rough calculation for Bai Ji. Even if there are 10,000 households in Jingyang County, each household and a curved plow, the total amount is 60,000 hand-made money. Calculate the materials carefully, and the total amount is more than 100,000 yuan. He only has twenty taels of gold in his hand. What should he do if he loses it?!

As a dog-headed military advisor, Chunyu Yue could do it. He came up with an idea that he could collect some fief, which was reasonable. However, Bai Ji refused on the spot.

Only when the people are grateful for him can he earn merit. It is the time when the young and yellow are not in line, and he will scrape a layer of oil and water when he comes up, so he will poke his backbone and spit on his back?

He can't do such unethical things anyway. Mazi said it well and you can make money from the rich! Besides, Bai Ji is backed by the Great Qin Treasury, is he short of money?

However, Chunyu Yue reminded him that he should make money. It’s not that Bai Ji is short of money and is greedy for money, but because his money can drive economic development and make many people rich. He is for the Qin State’s good!

Chunyu Yue stood by the side and felt dry mouth. Seeing Bai Ji thinking deeply, he breathed a little relieved. He felt that what he said had reached Bai Ji's soul cry, and he should wake up and be frugal.

"I think what you said makes sense."

After a long time, Bai Ji nodded extremely seriously.

Chunyu Yue smiled with relief. It seemed that the Lord was not a stubborn person, and he could also listen to his opinions. This matter could also be written into the bamboo slips: Doctor Yue advised, and Changsheng Jun Cong. Tsk... That's it!

"In this way, you will continue to give me instructions later and help me find some skillful, innocent and reliable words. Whether it is a man or a woman, you can do it for two meals a day and pay for your wages. Don't ask what you do, just go find it like this."

Chunyu Yue:...

The smile on his face disappeared in an instant. After talking for a long time, Bai Ji didn't listen at all?

"Your Majesty, what you said just now..."

"I know, what you said makes sense, but I don't listen."

Chunyu Yue:...

This job is completely impossible. He has something in his mind that he doesn’t know whether to say it or not. He still packs up his things and returns to Xianyang, which is too harmful to his self-esteem!

"Old Chun, my brain is about to be bright. Do you think I'm on the first floor, but I'm on the second floor. Do you think I'm on the second floor, but I'm on the eighteenth floor!" As he said that, Bai Ji patted Chun Yu Yue's shoulder, "Do you think I'm short of money? I'll find them to have their own purpose, just do it."

Chunyu Yue had to sigh and nod. He was one level older than the first level of official position to crush someone to death. Bai Ji was one level older than him and had to agree.

"You don't have to cry, what if there is no one in the paper mill or steel mill."

“Make…paper mill?!”

Chunyu Yue was so excited that he almost stuffed the jerky into his nose.

Related to papermaking?

My mother, it's been a day.

Bai Ji looked calm. He actually went to the countryside for inspection these days to find a suitable place to build a paper mill. Because it requires a lot of water, it is best to be by the water.

In order to avoid pollution, Baiji did not choose to slurry with lime, so he took some effort to polish and crush it. The discarded materials should not be thrown away and piled up in a special place to wait for treatment.

It is true that he is a monk, but he still doesn't have the ability to clone himself. He also has to cultivate crops, make paper, and wrought iron... Is this realistic? So, he needs enough manpower!

Chunyu Yue was so excited because what he most looked forward to was papermaking. If paper could be popularized, Bai Ji would be enough to make a hundred scholars worship him. This achievement is enough to benefit all ages, and in Chunyu Yue's view it is a good auspicious existence.

"What is a steel mill?"

"Steel making!"

"steel?!"

Bai Ji nodded naturally, "When King Mu of Zhou conquers the Western Rong, didn't they give him a steel sword?"

Chunyu Yue was a little confused. There is really no concept of steel now. There is only the saying of iron. As for the steel in ancient books, it is probably a solid alloy.

"Steel is made of iron, and it is tempered for thousands of times."

The lack of pre-Qin history is quite serious, and Bai Ji explained it again.

Chunyu Yue looked at Bai Ji in amazement, "Your Majesty means, you can use iron to make invincible steel?"

"Yes, otherwise?"

"hiss"

Chunyu Yue didn't dare to continue thinking. Steel swords are all famous swords, and they can be forged with iron? Now there is also a technology of cast steel, called cast iron decarbonized steel. This yield is very low and is mainly used on weapons, but it is still called iron...

“Is it costly?”

"well enough."

Bai Ji thought about practicing steel frying first, after all, he had to consider it in combination with actual conditions. If the effect was good, he would develop slowly and make all the steel stuffing methods come out.

Chunyu Yue's Adam's apple was shaking up and down, and his face turned red.

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements now!"

After listening to Bai Ji's words, Chunyu Yue suddenly felt that he was doing it again. He felt that he was shouldering the important task of Qin's development and had to do it well!

In fact, this is just an experiment by Bai Ji. He is not afraid of outsiders knowing the steelmaking method. The raw materials can jamm many people's necks. It is not that easy to imitate it.

During this period, if you want to do business, you still have to take a fancy. There is no difference between merchants without power and leeks. Even a top-notch wealthy like Ba Qing was finally moved to Xianyang. Bai Ji had no such concern. Moreover, he was for the development of Qin, not for self-interest. He felt that he was great!

The second update is here~ Thanks to the old bird from the Beautiful Bird, Ming Jun and Ming Jun, who invites the breeze to bring the turbid wine, the little cat is dizzy, Hey 123, Chang'an half scholar, book friend's reward for 2020***0380! Regarding the word steel, it is recorded in "Liezi Tangwen": King Mu of Zhou conquers Xirong, and Xirong sacrifices the sword of Kun's sword, which is a short distance, and practices steel red blade, and uses it to cut jade like cutting mud. Panda has read a lot of information, and can probably confirm that this steel is different from the steel we talk about, and it should be an alloy. The cast iron decarbonized steel technology in the Warring States Period can obtain steel, but it is still called iron. Regarding steel, the most important thing is coal. You can guess when coal was first used. Finally, today is Saturday holiday, and if you have recommendation tickets in your hands, don't hide it!
