I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 69 Wang Tu's hegemony starts today
Zhiyao didn't have the idea of ​​"everyone is not doing well, so I'm psychologically balanced". What she was thinking about was how to stabilize the Zhi family in this wave of difficulties, and then gradually widen the gap with other families.

"There is no name here?" Zhiyao was a little confused, shouldn't it be called Taihang Mountain?
This is his preconceived idea, what name will be called in later generations may not necessarily be called that name in the present.

Today there is Taihang Mountain, but it does not refer to Taihang Mountain in later generations.

This "hukou" is a checkpoint entering the continuous mountains in the west. It used to belong to the Zhonghang clan, but is currently controlled by the Zhi clan.

Because it is a pass factor, the Zhi family must leave a garrison to guard it, and has two "brigades" of troops stationed for a long time.During the period, there is a change of defense, not to fix a certain army to be stationed for a long time.

This time, Zhiyao didn't stop at "Hukou" much, and took over a batch of people and supplies before diving into the vast mountain.

They came to prospect for resources, mainly to find minerals.

Because of the current unrest, many ruined families hid in the mountains and forests. In order to protect Zhiyao's safety, Zhixuan gave two "brigade" guards and assigned Cheng Shuo.

The Taihang Mountains of later generations are rich in resources, but one thing to know is the technological gap of the times.

If the technical means are not good, there is almost no way to explore the underground resources. It is necessary to rely on a group of experienced people. They use the knowledge passed down from generation to generation combined with their own experience to conduct exploration.

It's not like modern times, when the satellite sweeps the ground, there is almost nothing to hide.

Before Zhiyao came, Cheng Shuo had already led troops to mop up the area, in order to ensure that the risk of Zhiyao entering the mountain was reduced.

To tell the truth, even in the era of hot weapons, it is extremely difficult to eliminate the target of the mountain. As far back as the Spring and Autumn Period, the only way to solve the target is to rely on intimidation and containment. Generally, the first choice is to intimidate the target to let him Fleeing away, there is no need to hunt or kill.

"There is a lot of coal here." Cheng Shuo knew that Lao Zhi's family had already started to study how to use coal, and also knew that Zhiyao had spent a lot of energy on research.

Shanxi, of course, has many open-pit coal mines, but the quality is a bit hard to say.

Some high-quality coal mines can be directly put into various industrial productions without coal washing and coking, but most coal mines need to go through multiple processes.

Anyway, Zhiyao has not yet found a coal mine that can be directly used for smelting, so she is forced to rack her brains to do things. She has experienced many setbacks and gained a lot of strange knowledge.

Cheng Shuo also said: "The Zhongxing family originally fired kilns, and my family got them without damage."

Zhiyao asked: "But charcoal?"

What is it if it is not charcoal.

Anyway, the mountains represent a lot of trees. With the current technological content, there are only a few resources that can be used in the mountains. Burning charcoal is the best way to make money.

Now there are many industries that need charcoal, and it is only used by various families for smelting, not to mention the consumption of rich and noble families for keeping warm in winter.

Zhiyao and the others are currently in a charcoal workshop.

How to burn charcoal?It is not to ignite directly with an open fire. In fact, the branches and leaves of the trees are disposed of, and then they are chopped into timber, and a layer of thinner burning materials is placed on it. The fire is too hot to burn the wood to ashes, then cover it with a layer of soil, and ignite it to burn charcoal.

Of course, everything is easier said than done.

Burning charcoal all year round, what Zhiyao saw was piles of smoking lumps of soil. She didn't know beforehand that she was burning charcoal, and she thought it was warming fertilizer.

Speaking of warming fertilizers, Zhiyao has already promoted the simplest method of warming fertilizers in Zhishi. It is not about manure warming and fertilizers. Going in the farmland can achieve an effect of increasing soil fertility.

Slash-and-burn farming, it’s about the fact that in the past, people simply set fire to burn the plants on the farmland, and added a layer of straw, which was regarded as high-tech.

Going into the mountains is going into the mountains. Going to climb the mold by yourself does not belong to Zhiyao's life. The real hard work will be those accompanying craftsmen.

There has always been no shortage of mineral prospectors here in Zhuxia, which used to be exclusive to "Witches", that is, "Witches" are not only responsible for a civilized religion and the study of various plants, but also to study whether plants can be eaten or cultivated, or As medicinal materials, mineral exploration was later derived, and various high-level occupations were indispensable, such as "Zhu Wu", "Li Wu" and so on.

Generally speaking, the ancient times of Zhuxia were inseparable from "shaman". Later, "shaman" no longer specifically referred to the religious system, and until the late Spring and Autumn Period, the various responsibilities of "shaman" were gradually replaced by nobles.

That was when the nobles devoted themselves to researching a certain profession, and gradually formed a hundred schools of thought, which ushered in the era when Zhuxia belonged to a hundred schools of thought.

Zhiyao came here to explore minerals, and then to find a suitable place as a "base".

Although the modern Taihang Mountain is a continuous mountain range, there are actually valleys in it.

The location chosen by Zhiyao to build the "base" will be somewhere in a valley. Considering the repeated transportation of raw materials, transportation must also be taken into consideration.

Generally speaking, there must be a basis for confidentiality, and at the same time, it cannot be a remote area, and more importantly, it must pay attention to the distance from the raw material production area.

In the end, Zhiyao decided to go near a valley where iron ore was found. Fortunately, this place is not far from the open-pit coal mine. The more uncomfortable thing is that the area is a bit small.

"There must be someone left behind here, so you are the main one." The person Zhiyao spoke to was Cheng Wu.

This Cheng Wu is Cheng Shuo's son, he is one of those who get up early to be a schoolmate beside Zhiyao, he is 17 years old this year.

In fact, Zhiyao must be nepotistic. Appointing candidates for some important positions is not just based on their talents, but the most important thing is their trustworthiness. Being trustworthy and helpful to future power is the best choice.

Cheng Shuo is one of Zhiyao's supporters. It is very rare that he has a good military accomplishment, and his background is even more innocent.

Because Cheng Wu was Zhiyao's early schoolmate, the sense of existence is not so strong because of the description angle, so it can only be said that there must be a lot of things that happened "outside the author's description".

Cheng Wu showed a joyful expression, and said, "I will live up to your grandson's trust."

This "base" will continue to conduct research on iron smelting, while coal washing and coking are in other locations.

Zhiyao has also made up her mind, and will choose a place outside the mountainous area to establish a "state" outside each "base", which will be used as a "school district" and the like, and will gradually expand into a "city", and finally become a "state". city" size.

In fact, it is best to choose Huotai Mountain based on the distribution of various resources.

Because Lao Zhi's family occupied Fan's "Sui" land, they already had some governance rights of Huotai Mountain. The problem was that Huotai Mountain was on the edge of Wei's fiefdom, and it was too insecure to fight.

"Anyway, don't think about scale for the time being. What matters is the accumulation of technology. Let's talk about building a factory on a large scale in the future." Zhiyao was delayed for two months, knowing that she couldn't continue to delay, she should go to Xintian as soon as possible.

In addition, if there is no accident, the assassination of Zhao Wuxie should have already started?
……………Dividing line……………

Suddenly, I received a notice that it will be on the shelves on Friday...that is, from 1:21 noon to [-]:[-] on January [-]st.This made the author very confused! ! !
The reason is that this book has been at the forefront of the new book list for a long time and has been reported a lot, and some good recommendations have disappeared.As for why it was reported, the author is unwilling to think too much, anyway, all circles are chaotic, if you are in a weak position and encounter trouble, you should admit it!
Originally, the author Jun was very hopeful about the results of this book!I thought that the pressure on the mortgage would not be so great, and the pressure on the children's school expenses would also be relieved. How could I have imagined that this would be the case?The author Jun has a six-year-old child who goes to a special school. Old book friends know about the illness and feel very blocked, so I won’t talk about it here.

It was the first time I encountered such a thing, and to be honest, it was extremely heartbreaking!
It is said that the successor needs to be "stabilized" for a period of time before the recommendation position will continue to keep up. The premise is that the performance of this book is worthy of continued recommendation.

The author, who has been stunned by the news for a whole day, has no words, and then thinks of various economic pressures, and has the urge to take a leap of faith.

The mood is very chaotic, not trying to sell miserably, every sentence is true!All in all my mind was messed up.

I beg book friends here: The author's bacteria code chapter needs at least three hours.If you think you can still watch it, please spend a few cents to subscribe, please, thank you, thank you!
In addition, after it is put on the shelves, there should be about [-] words of updates per day.

And so be it, my heart is bleeding! ! ! ! !
