ALL NOVEL Chapter 30 Demand
After feeling the fluctuation of talent, Mu Yi thought about what he needed now.
He recorded all the projects he could think of and needed for development on paper.
Well, paper is the easiest thing to get besides the salt industry.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zuo Ziyi in Donglai County further improved the papermaking technology based on Cai Lun and produced Zuo Bo paper. In the second year of Hanzhong Ping, that is, around 185, it was already in Luoyang. It's a very popular thing.
So the craftsmen Mu Yi found used bark, hemp heads, rags, etc. as raw materials to directly produce a large amount of paper. Although the material was not very good, it was already put into use.
Under Mu Yi's arrangement, these craftsmen worked overtime to improve papermaking technology, intending to use paper as a second source of income and pave the way for printing, newspapers and other things later.
There is no difficulty in woodblock printing. The technology that was used in the Shang Dynasty did not need to be developed in the Han Dynasty. Mu Yi found a group of craftsmen who had been engaged in the carving industry among the refugees.
As for movable type printing, that thing is a trap. Although the technology has improved, if you understand it, you will know that most of the Qing Dynasty used woodblock printing.
This is what Mu Yi saw in the comment section of some historical articles. The quarrel was very fierce at first, so even without using mental power to strengthen his memory, Mu Yi still remembered this thing.
Therefore, Mu Yi did not intend to engage in such a thankless task, and went directly to engraving printing. Anyway, there was only so much content that needed to be printed, and we would wait until it was stable.
Mu Yi made a simplified version of the Taiping Jing and planned to print a batch of them and then start distributing them to all the people so that they could learn simplified characters.
Anyway, most of his subordinates are illiterate. Learning simplified Chinese characters is much easier than learning traditional Chinese characters. When he popularizes simplified Chinese characters, won’t those who only know traditional Chinese characters become illiterate?
With this idea in mind, Mu Yi started working hard, but so far he has had little success.
"Well, the food problem has been solved for the time being. Fruit trees and summer millet have been planted. With the income from the salt industry, there will probably be no problem until the harvest."
Mu Yi put a cross on the food. They really have no shortage of food now. The chain reaction of getting Qingzhou Mu is gratifying.
Now Mu Yi is not short of money and food. The property obtained from selling salt is sold to powerful families in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and then converted into grain. There is a lot of grain in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, especially those powerful families who built their own Wubao. Naturally, they are willing to Exchange grain for gold and silver.
Unlike before when he could only do business with the Zhen family, now Mu Yi has more choices, and he can get more food without paying too much premium. Naturally, there is no food problem for the time being.
The summer millet and tree fruits that are planted last only a hundred days. As long as they persist for a few months until September, after the millet and tree fruits mature, there will be no food crisis even if they occupy the entire territory of Dongnai.
Tree fruit is a new crop obtained from the elven world. It is not difficult to grow. Its yield is similar to that of millet, wheat and other crops. It can be regarded as a good crop.
It is also an option to improve the happiness of the residents under your command. After all, there is still a choice between eating millet and eating tree fruits.
Moreover, Nanhua's transformed druid spells have begun to appear. It is much more difficult to mobilize the power of nature in the main world than in the elven world, but it can still speed up the growth of plants.
This is even more significant in the application of tree fruits. Originally, the growth cycle of tree fruits would be longer, perhaps six months, but under the influence of Druid spells, the time was shortened by nearly half.
As for crops such as millet, Mu Yi did not ask those apprentices to speed up. After all, the world is different. The interaction between tree fruits and druid spells has recorded experience, and the purpose is to fill the stomach. Can it produce internal energy? Anger is completely unimportant.
Crops such as millet are still produced according to the original technology, and ensuring the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is the most important thing.
"The salt industry does not need to expand production. There is already some surplus of refined salt produced..." Mu Yi immediately put a cross on the salt industry.
Then Mu Yi turned his attention to the remaining options, metallurgy, fishery, animal husbandry, construction...
Mu Yi thought about it one by one and crossed out metallurgy. Metallurgy lacks elements such as iron ore and blast furnace, and it involves more complicated things, so there is no way to consider it for the time being.
The construction industry is already planning, and he has handed over the cement formula to the subordinates to try to manufacture, but the results have not been produced yet, and it will probably take some time before they can start trying to build roads.
Animal husbandry is even more nonsense. There is a shortage of war horses and cattle. With his current ability, it is just a dream to vigorously develop these things. Moreover, the grassland that is most suitable for the development of animal husbandry is still the territory of the barbarians, and it is not urgently needed at the moment.
Mu Yi started to work on the last fishery, and also found some old fishermen as instructors to teach the refugees fishing experience. However, the problem now is the lack of ships, so they can only move in offshore places, and there is basically no chance of long voyages.
According to the old fishermen, there are many ferocious beasts in the ocean, and they only dare to move around the edge of the coast.
Without big boats, this fishery cannot develop. At most, we can catch some fish and give the people a taste of fish soup every now and then.
After thinking about it, Mu Yi found that what he lacked most now was talents. Although he had recruited a group of scholars and solved the governance problems of three counties, he could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. What he needed was to be able to fully govern a county and a state. of great talent.
Mu Yi actually wanted to issue an order to recruit talented people, and only those with no regard to their origins would be recruited. He was a serious man, regardless of their origins. After all, the Yellow Turbans had no origins at all.
It's a pity that he is not well-known. If he had Yuan Benchu's reputation, he would basically be successful if he spread the recruitment order now.
Those counselors from aristocratic families who have not yet fully served as officials will come to him to take a look even out of curiosity, not to mention those counselors from poor families who might just bow down and worship him.
It's a pity that if there is no if, he didn't catch up with Hulao Pass, the best place to gain reputation. In addition, Qingzhou Mu was still entrusted by the imperial court under Dong Zhuo's control, so it didn't have much gold content.
In the future, if his fists get bigger, he will be able to confirm his identity as a Qingzhou shepherd. Now this leader can just talk about it in Donglai County. If he talks about it outside, he will be laughed at.
"It's decided, go to the New World to train the troops!"
Mu Yi thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision directly, but it was just a tendency.
He still can't control his talent freely, and he doesn't know what world he can go to. The so-called keyword filtering has a wide range, which is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
So just find a troubled time, train the troops at hand, use your fists to confirm the name of Qingzhou Mu, and then issue a recruitment order to directly recruit talents from all over the world.
