However, with the skill book and scene simulation function, she thought it wouldn't be too difficult to make a generator.
She combed through the existing materials on hand and found that the only material that could not be replaced by other materials was silicon, but it was an indispensable material for making solar panels.
Fortunately, the energy points are relatively rich, so I simply bought a batch of solar panels in the system mall and started tinkering with solar motors.
Seeing that the princess was busy and no one reminded her to go home, it was King Jinnan's turn to be upset.
But the princess was right. Cement and magnetite were new things, and if she just threw them to him, if he just walked away and left them alone, no one would understand.
While the princess was busy, she quickly promoted a few confidants. After training them, let them lead their own teams to lay cement roads and mine iron mines, so as not to bother him in the future.
The princess was probably too busy to think of him, so King Jinnan gave her gifts when he had time to increase his presence.
Sometimes it's a piece of fine jade seed, sometimes it's a box of seawater pearls.
Xu Yin was busy and had no time to think too much. He just thought that the people below him were filial to him.
Seeing the pearls, I couldn't help but think of the Maritime Silk Road, and asked with interest: "Are there any merchant ships trading with Nanyang?"
Originally there was no such thing, but her mention gave Yan Kejin an idea.
yes! Beidi can trade, but what about Nanyang?
"However, the continent beyond the border is a place of exile. The conditions are worse than those of the Southern Barbarians. Further south, there are small countries. Does the princess think they will be rich?" He frowned.
"Suppose we can trade with Beidi here, what do you think?" Xu Yin asked him.
Both the Northern Di and the Southern Barbarians were not as wealthy as the Central Plains.
But Beidi is dominated by nomadic people, with flocks of cattle and sheep. The most indispensable thing is meat, followed by dairy products, and cotton is also growing very well.
Nanman is poor, but it also has its own special products, such as tea, pearls, and Shoushan stones.
With the retting method contributed by Xu Yin, rice can be grown three seasons a year without being barren. If the two places can trade, it will only make each other's lives better.
Seeing that he was thoughtful, Xu Yin continued: "It's just trade, and I don't care whether it's rich or not. If you're not rich, you can get more things back."
Xu Yin drew a blueprint for him.
As a result, as soon as this man straightened out his thoughts, he wanted to form a fleet to go to sea for trade, as if he would make a lot less if he was slower.
Xu Yin stopped him with a smile: "Have you forgotten what I said before? The current ship is too risky to go to sea. You can't be prepared to sacrifice every time you go to sea, right? Since we are going to go to the ocean, we must first prepare the ship that is suitable for the ocean. To build a ship, you can sharpen your sword and chop wood without missing a beat."
In addition to the ship itself having to withstand wind and waves, the ship must also be equipped with some self-defense equipment. What if it encounters pirates? If you can't beat it, it's still in vain?
With large reserves of iron ore in hand, there is no need to worry about cold weapons.
But if we go to the ocean, cold weapons alone may not have a deterrent effect.
It would be great if you could find saltpeter mines. Ask the system to get an upgraded gunpowder recipe and make the simplest muskets and cannons.
I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I must at least have the means to fight back.
Just when Xu Yin was thinking about "Where can I get saltpeter?", the convulsion system "tickled" the task of "Exploring the Southern Barbarian Land".
Xu Yin: "..."
Could it be that the map rewarded by the system really marked the mineral deposits?
Then she must complete this task!
"Your Majesty, where is the cement road?"
Seeing that she finally remembered about traveling, Yan Kejin smiled and marked the cement-hardened road section on the map:
"The cement road out of the city has been paved to Longcheng, but maintenance will take ten days and a half depending on weather conditions, so the passable road section only reaches Yongfu County."
Even so, Xu Yin was quite surprised: "Has it all reached Dragon City? That's so fast!"
"The three teams were divided into three teams and worked non-stop for three days and nights. Everywhere they went, some strong local laborers were hired. The more people there are, the faster the speed will be."
After a pause, Yan Kejin added with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not a corvee, it's paid in silver."
Xu Yin believed what he said.
After spending this time together, she saw his kind side beneath his cold exterior.
"At this rate, we can leave for Yong County by this time next month."
By then, the main road from Fucheng to Yongxian County can be said to be smooth, and the carriage will no longer be dusty when running.
In a happy mood, Xu Yin's rhythm of working on the motor became much faster.
Until Uncle Wang sent someone to tell her that some of the crops in the experimental field were ripe and asked her if she wanted to go and have a look.
After they got married, they went to both the Wang Mansion and the Xu Mansion. Except for the fact that she would take care of it at the beginning, the experimental field was basically left to the care of the mama.
"Of course I want to see it."
In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the rapeseed flowers in the fields bloomed and faded, and now they have grown full of rapeseeds.
The corn is ripe.
The newly promoted retting method is very effective. Although each plant still only produces one corn cob, when the corn husks are peeled off, the exposed corn cobs are about twice as big as before. The corn grains are golden and plump, and the yield is definitely higher than in previous years.
Seeing Uncle Wang and others smiling from the corners of their mouths to their ears, Xu Yin was also sincerely happy.
Her five-acre experimental field has the best growth among all fertile fields.
Uncle Wang kept mumbling at first.
Although he is just a tenant farmer of the palace, the master can do whatever he wants, so there is no room for him to talk too much.
But after all, it was five acres of fertile land. Therefore, after the prince planted the crops, he came over every day to look at it uneasily. Even if there were people in the fields responsible for weeding and fertilizing and he was not required to work, he couldn't help it.
At this glance, something unusual can be seen:
The crops the princess planted were the same every day, growing like the wind.
Especially for rice, before the harvest season, the rice ears are so heavy that they bend the heads. And when you look closer, you can see that the rice seeds in each acre of land are different.
Come closer and take a look, be good! There are actually six varieties planted in the three acres of rice fields, some are long and thin, and some are green and green.
No wonder! How could a princess like you be willing to go to the fields and farm for a long time, not just to eat, but to plant flowers just to look beautiful?
Looking at the two acres of land next to the rice fields, one of them is planted with mulberry trees.
The mulberries started to mature last month and were picked and sent to the palace. It is said that the royal chef used them to make jam and snacks, which tasted very good.
Each household in Zhuangzi was given half a catty to give teeth to their children, but the children were so happy that they even encouraged their parents to plant mulberry trees in front of and behind their houses.
After the princess heard about it, she encouraged everyone to plant mulberry trees, and the palace collected the mulberry leaves at market price.
The silkworms who feed on mulberry leaves have a great time. They are buried in the fresh mulberry leaves and eat non-stop, making themselves fat and white.
The first batch of silkworms have begun to spin cocoons. People in the palace said that these will be spun into silk to make clothes in the future.
Silk brocade clothes were so valuable that the tenant farmers working in the silkworm houses did not dare to be careless about them.
Fortunately, there is a silkworm-raising manual with pictures drawn by the princess. As long as you raise silkworms according to the picture book, there will usually be no problems.
