Salt and iron!
Salt can bring a huge amount of income to the country. The Wu Dynasty can earn more than two million yuan from the domestic market by buying salt every year. At the same time, it can sell salt to the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, which can earn another three to four million yuan. If it were not In the Ming Dynasty, Baicaodian Farm robbed the Central Plains market, and the Qing Salt Industry could earn even more.
It is absolutely correct to say that the income from the salt industry accounted for one-third of the household income of the Wu Dynasty.
Iron is not only productivity, but also combat effectiveness and national security.
The Wu Dynasty is not lacking in this area. Jizhou corresponds to Hebei and Henan in the previous life. The world's steelmaking is in China, China's steelmaking is in Hebei, and Hebei's steelmaking is in Tangshan.
Although the Wu Dynasty did not explore all the iron mines in Jizhou, the iron ore that had been found was enough for the Wu Dynasty to use for hundreds of years.
Output is just stuck in the production process. There is no blast furnace, no fierce fire, and mountains of iron ore are useless.
"Can you think for yourself?"
Looking at Huang An squatting in front of him holding a book, Fang Fang wanted to kick him away if possible.
Those who responded slowly were still cheering for the emergence of briquettes.
Wu Qiong, who moved quickly, put a tight seal around the tent.
The smart person, Huang An, squatted in front of Fang Fang, as if he would not stop until he squeezed everything out of Fang Fang's mind.
"I wish I could figure it out!" Huang An closed the book, changed from squatting to sitting cross-legged, and said in a very rogue manner, "I have already figured it out. You can increase the temperature of the fire by improving the carbon. Did you know that high temperatures can be used to smelt iron? You idiot. Everyone knows that you have a complete set of things, otherwise why don’t you do something else and just start with stone carbon?”
In order to keep out the cold, the Wu Dynasty tried various heating methods, and the poison of stone carbon was eliminated early on.
It's just that I didn't think about the theory. I only thought of removing the carbon poison through the stove structure. I didn't think that the carbon poison itself was also a fuel.
Huang An has been dealing with blacksmiths all year round. He has been to the iron smelting workshop countless times. When he saw the faint blue flame but did not smell the uncomfortable smell, Huang An almost understood that the high temperature and the faint smell How did the blue flame appear?
It's a pity that nine orifices have connected to eight, and the direction is right, but in the end the key is still not understood!
"It seems that you have solved the dog problem?"
Pushing up the bridge of his nose, it wasn't like he couldn't teach Huang An about equations. He had more contact with Leader Liu, and his understanding of Huang An gradually increased.
This is a monster that can lay low, but it is also a monster that studies hard. When I was elected to the manufacturing warehouse, it was to lay low and to make some handicrafts that I liked.
Huang An knows a little bit about blacksmithing and carpentry, and his skills are not bad at all. In the words of Team Leader Liu, according to the eight-level worker system, Huang An's carpentry skills are probably at level three, while blacksmithing is at level two.
But no matter how cheap Huang An was, Fang Fang always felt a bit at a loss.
"Most of it has been solved. We have contacted more than thirty dog parks near Gyeonggi Province. The owners behind each dog park are very interested in sledding!" After a pause, Huang An adjusted his sleeves and smiled mischievously. He said, "In any case, this is also a new way to make money. Visiting in the name of the Ministry of Industry gives people the feeling of asking for help. I don't like this feeling, so I sent someone out to blow the air. Anyone with brains will naturally understand Come!"
"What do you mean, a lot of people know about it now?"
He gave Huang An a thumbs up in his heart, and Fang Fang became more and more optimistic about this lying monster.
Lazy people change the world, and lazy people promote technology. Huang An just reversed the order. He not only completed the task, but also turned the favor he originally owed into something owed to him by others.
"Those who should know should have known earlier, but if I open my mouth, the entire Tai'an City will know about it in the next three days!" Huang An put his face closer, "You won't blame me for ruining your way of making money!"
"How come I don't know about the financial path?" Fang Fang squinted at Huang An.
"We are all smart people. I don't believe you can't see the usefulness of sleds in the north. The snow season in Youzhou starts in September and lasts until April next year. For the entire eight months, the baggage load requirements are higher. How much weight does the general cargo need? ?During the snow period, you can earn a stone for every stone you pull. Not to mention, you can make huge profits just by pulling beef and mutton!" Huang An said with amusement on his face.
"There's no way I can make enough money. As long as my share is small, what do I care about?" Fang Fang responded, tilting his head.
Huang An smiled and pointed at the equation, "Smart, I'm a bit unreasonable at this point. I'll take your share, and I promise it won't be less. We'll talk about the details later!"
"good!"
There is technology, no capital, no way, and it is useless.
The craftsmanship of the sled is very simple. An old carpenter came and took a look. He had no drawings and no data, so he spent half a month tinkering with it. The imitation should not be too simple.
Besides, whoever dares to get into the logistics industry has a simple background.
The drawings that Zhiding Equation drew before are now being copied dozens of times, falling into the hands of interested people.
Be careful, in the future this industry will count as part of the equation.
Without being particular, who is the equation?
Don’t mean it’s impossible, but there are too many such things.
The newlyweds entered the room and the matchmaker threw them over the wall.
The drawings were not taken from the equations. I have never looked at them, and I have not thought about them in my mind.
"You can follow up on the sled as you like, no one will care about it, but I can guess the iron smelting part, and so can others!" Huang An returned to his sitting posture, "I might as well make it clear to you, when the iron is smelted, I will tell you. The only advantage is the raw materials. The skills of the craftsmen have not changed in a hundred years. At the same time, we lack high-fire. The Song Dynasty people occupied Jingzhou, and the quality of Ningzhou's stone carbon is not comparable to ours. Their high-fire is at least 30% higher than ours. Using a special process, they can boil the molten iron, but the most I can get is iron juice!"
Jizhou and Jizhou are connected, and the quality of the carbon is completely different between them.
What does the faint blue flame represent?
Huang An knew it, and the bosses of the Wu Dynasty's Ministry of Industry knew it even better. Unfortunately, he had tried too many places with carbon, and could only see sporadic blue flames.
"Weapons of the same level had to be forged by at least ten blacksmiths in our dynasty, and were formed directly in the Song dynasty. The gap is too big. It's not that we can't catch up, but that it takes too long to catch up, and the production capacity is too low. More importantly, The only thing is we don’t have that many people!”
"Military merit is supreme. Regardless of the current eight-level labor system, as long as the military merit system does not cover the Ministry of Industry, our good men will not choose to enter the workshop. This Song Dynasty is different. They only care about money. I only have interests in my eyes!”
"So, if you don't say it today, you will have to say it later. Why don't we just finalize the matter? It's convenient for you and I won't bother you!"
Huang An spoke very straightforwardly and seemed threatening, but what he said was true.
Salt and iron are too important for a dynasty!
Technological progress in other directions can be regarded as invisible, but progress in iron smelting, let alone happening within the country, must be done even if it should be done overseas.
"I don't know much, but I can try it, just like sledding!" Fang Fang pinched his knuckles, "After all, I am also watching the politics of the Ministry of Industry now, and everyone is my own!"
People should save time and trouble, and instead of kneeling down to solve the troubles they cause in the future, it is better to take action proactively.
