Villager of Daming

Chapter 893 The sun warms and the smoke rises, preserving the jade veins

When the sun rises, what should you look at first when watching the sunrise? Definitely not looking towards the east, but towards the west.

The sun in the east lights up first in the west. If you look to the west and the sky in the west lights up, you know that the sun in the east is about to jump out of the horizon.

This is a matter of perspective. When you see the sun in the east, it is tilted downward. But before the sun in the east jumps out, the sun in the west must shine first.

The common people once again steamed big meat buns and made soup with wild vegetables, waiting for His Highness King Qin to eat.

"If we cannot lead the people to live a good life, we will feel guilty!"

Zhu Xi looked at the smiling faces of the people in the morning and suddenly realized that the burden was too heavy. So many people were counting on him, the King of Qin, to take the lead in making money.

"They have already made a lot of money." Zhu Fan, the third child, yearned for it. He also wanted the same for the people of his Taiyuan Prefecture.

Because the people in this place are so wealthy, if they save a little on living, any family can kill a sheep in the end, it's very easy.

Seeing that there are more pregnant women, the population is increasing, more and more people are marrying wives, and there are fewer people marrying outside the family. If the family conditions are good, you can choose from your husband's family.

It is estimated that this gathering will allow people from various villages in several counties to have a good chat and marry each other instead of marrying far away.

Either it is a marriage with Lantian County, which has happened before. Lantian County is stuck on the traffic artery on the other side.

There is a big river there, the Ba River, flowing to Chang'an and into the Yellow River. Businessmen are of course willing to take boats to transport things. The carrying capacity is large and much better than animals.

Therefore, the income of the people in Lantian County is higher. According to the information sent back, the people in Lantian County build big houses with two floors of bricks and concrete, not just for themselves, but as inns to provide convenience for people coming and going.

As transportation improved, people sold various local specialties outside, including apricots, chestnuts, and walnuts.

The local tofu is very famous. It is obviously not possible to take out the tofu, but it is no problem to make it into salted dried tofu.

As for Lantian jade, this does not belong to the people's income in Lantian County and is subject to official control. After the area is designated, the people are not allowed to mine it.

In fact, it cannot be mined. Yushan collapsed during the earthquake in the Tang Dynasty, and the people could only pick up other stones.

The rocks on the mountain that can contain jade are also good. Jade does not exist alone.

"Let's eat quickly, then hurry up and arrive at Taiyuan Mansion early."

Zhu Di looked at his third brother and said, "Don't worry, we won't waste time."

Everyone calmed down for a while and ate carefully, chewing carefully and slowly, which is beneficial to absorption. More saliva is involved in decomposition. At the same time, the surface area of ​​food contacted by gastric acid is expanded, and absorption is naturally faster.

Just like throwing a piece of meat directly into sulfuric acid, the sulfuric acid corrodes, or dehydrates, gradually from the outside inward.

If this piece of meat is chopped up and thrown into sulfuric acid, it will be completely destroyed soon.

Stomach acidity is the same thing, except that many people don't care about it when eating, especially the military.

After finishing a meal of steamed buns, the team started to move. The local people waved goodbye and said they would not be sent far away. They also had to go home and be busy. They were too tired from walking and there was no need to work today.

The people who came from Lantian County acted together with the team and returned just in time, safe and lively.

The last time I went over the mountains, the rocks on the mountains were particularly in the way. This time there was a road, so I could use the rocks on the mountains to repair it.

Explosives were used to blow it up, and then manpower and animal power were used to transport it. It was built very wide in order to lay railway tracks. From now on, railways and highways will be combined.

"You can't pick good Lantian jade anymore. Occasionally, people can pick up a few bad ones, which are very rare. If you pick them up, you can sell them for a few bucks, which can be regarded as a small fortune."

Zhu Feng was sitting in a car with his younger brother, the village chief, and Hanhan, and talked about the report from Lantian County. In the past, when there were wars, people were in panic, and no one cared about Lantian jade. Except for the ones handed down from ancient times, the common people did not have them.

The Ming Dynasty was established, the war ended, and jade regained its value: antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, jade in good times, and food in bad times.

After everyone became stable and rich, they started to like antiques and jade again, otherwise they were just food.

The liangzhang put his hand into his arms, thought for a moment and pulled out a map.

"Your Highness, actually there is still jade in Lantian County. The previous jade mountain collapsed. If we want to dig it again, it will consume an incredible amount of manpower and material resources.

But there are jade in other places, and there are bad Lantian jade locations as well as good ones.

There is a tributary on the Ba River in Lantian County called Wangu River, and there is a river in it called Caiyu River, where jade is found.

The jade veins of other good jade are all on this map. As long as people are asked to mine carefully, Lantian jade can be mined. "

He handed over the map. This was the fiefdom of Qin King Zhu Ping. Without telling him, could Xiaqiu Village still collect illegally?

The four princes looked at the folded map that the chief had taken out and were in a daze.

"Chief, do I have anything good there?" Jin Wang Zhu Fan couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Di also nodded beside him, meaning where is I in Peiping? How come the masters from Xiaqiu Village know everything?

"Your Highnesses, don't be anxious. As long as there is some somewhere, we will take it out this time. No matter whether it is mined or not, at least we know."

The chief didn't want to tell the other two people now, lest they worry about it all day long and have trouble sleeping.

Zhu Qiang's hands trembled. There were a lot of good Lantian jade! If you have no money, you can support Xi'an Mansion just by selling jade.

He took the map tremblingly and unfolded it to look at it with his three brothers. Sure enough, the direction of the jade veins, the depth of burial, and the thickness and length of the jade mining layer were marked on it...

"So many? This is the first time we have seen the situation of jade in the ground marked. How many years will it take to dig it out? Jade is not that easy to dig.

Especially after knowing the situation, it is obviously not possible to blow it up with explosives. It will blow up and shatter the intact jade.

However, Lantian jade is called nephrite according to our village. It is not that hard, is easier to mine, and is easy to cut and carve. "

Jin Wang Zhu Fan drew his fingers on the map, estimating the years of mining.

The headmaster nodded: "Carving is indeed simpler than jadeite, just use a diamond carving knife, and use an emery wheel for cutting.

Now that's all, maybe we can still find the jade veins of the heart in the future. As technology improves, the methods of prospecting will also improve.

Including the underground of Taiyuan Prefecture and the underground of Beiping Parallel Province, there are many resources buried, some are easy to mine, and some are difficult to mine. "

The chief said what Hanhan had told him. Hanhan could provide these, deeper places, and other locations, and there were probably more.

"Chief, do you think we can mine it? We think it's okay to keep it, unless we mine it and sell it for a big price."

Zhu Xi looked at the map and hesitated. He thought it was all him and he was not in a hurry to mine now. If he could make money with what he grew in the land, why dig for jade? The more jade is dug, the less it becomes, so the land can be used as you like.

"Your Highness, that jade is not particularly good. It can be picked by others. The texture is also very delicate. It is good for making jewelry and ornaments. It can be sold for a big price. The main reason is publicity. You say it is good, so it is good.

If there is no other jade, then it is Lantian jade. Thanks to Li Shangyin, Lantian jade is warm under the sun and can be used as a token of love. "

When ideas come out of your mind, pick the ordinary ones first, the ones that are easier to pick.
