In the end, I didn't dare to collect the goods. The goods of these 200 yuan were cut by my father. This family still depends on my father to support me. As a second-generation official who wants to be a salted fish, ensuring my father's ambition is to ensure a comfortable life. After all, only by understanding this logical relationship can you live a better life.

The kitchen in Zhang's mansion is dirty and messy. The only benefit is that the area is large enough. Seven or eight people are busy inside, but they can't see any congestion. Zhang Xuan looked at a small pile of bricks outside the kitchen and grinned his teeth. Bricks, the cheapest building materials in his previous life, the expensive batch here is the same as the rice, and this rice refers to new rice.

Zhang Er does not need to explain, Zhang Xuan also knows the reason. There are kilns in Dazhou, but the technology is not up to standard, and the fuel is still wood, and it must be good wood. As a fuel, wood is quite famous in the fuel industry of Dazhou, and usually I am reluctant to burn wood.

When ordinary people live, they burn grass, branches, rotten wood, and orange stalks after autumn. Only in the north will they store firewood as much as possible in late autumn, which is used to survive the winter.

Good firewood is used most frequently by craftsmen, and they will only be used when casting copper and burning kilns. A kiln of bricks and tiles consumes five to ten times that of bricks and tiles themselves. This depends on the craftsmen's craftsmanship. The better the craftsmanship, the more firewood is, the more it saves.

If the temperature of firewood is not enough, the scrap rate of bricks and tiles will be high. After a kiln, half of the good bricks can be found, it is a good craftsman. If you calculate this, it is not expensive to have the same price as bricks and rice.

In addition to a small pile of bricks, there is also a large amount of yellow mud and the fine stone sticks that Zhang Xuan asked for. This thing needs to be polished by a stonemason and is more expensive than bricks.

There is a copper pot, but there is no stove. Zhang Xuan had to do it himself to build the simplest brick and mud mixed stove. This thing was not available in Dazhou, and the mason had never heard of it. In fact, there was no professional bricklayer at all in Dazhou. It didn’t matter if it was built a house or a mason. It was the work of a carpenter.

"Yes, just like that, layer by layer, connected with yellow mud, and there are no gaps." As a second-generation official who wants to be a salted fish, Zhang Xuan will not do such a rough job, just stand aside and give advice.

A hemp rope and a stone are hung to ensure the quality of non-professionals when working. After the materials are prepared, this job is not difficult to do. Anyway, everyone is amateur and they don’t expect to do it very well.

The location of the stove entrance made Zhang Xuan take a lot of effort, and he didn't even have iron. He couldn't use copper as a gasket and a stove cover. In the end, Zhang Xuan chose a stone ring, which could barely be used.

One third of the stove, use a stone stick to set the furnace to start. I don’t know how long this thing will last. Try to see. After the build, the inside is covered with yellow mud, which is not only fire-resistant, but also burn-resistant, but also concentrates firepower. The best fuel for such a stove is naturally coal, but unfortunately Zhang Xuan did not.

He had already ordered people to look for it, but there seemed to be no coal in Lan County. I heard that other counties had discovered it, so Zhang Xuan had ordered people to look for it. I don’t know if it was still unknown.

Without coal, firewood is naturally OK. After all preparations, use thatch to ignite the fire and add a small amount of firewood. The new furnace cannot be used directly. You need to burn the stove with a low heat to burn out all the water vapor inside and then use it after it is dry.

There is no need to think about scrambled eggs for now. You can still steam an egg custard. Think about the egg custard without sauce, soy sauce, and only salt. Zhang Xuan looked confused. After spending so much effort, he naturally couldn't just eat egg custard.

The cooking is still too far away.

"My master, what you want has been delivered. When do you see when you have time to go and have a look?" Zhang Er came over and asked. This young follower has been busy with the work assigned by Zhang Xuan in recent days, and even his own work can only be put aside.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhang Xuan said, thinking about the whispers from four county soldiers before, the people of the Great Zhou were quite stubborn. Will they succeed?

This matter started a few hours ago. Zhang Xuan sacrificed his sacrifice and the goods disappeared out of thin air. Four county soldiers followed Zhang Xuan and whispered behind the scenes along the way.

Zhang Xuan didn't pay much attention at first, but one of the words made Zhang Xuan very moved. Four county soldiers brag, and later they said that their young master sat cross-legged on the ground to sacrifice his life, directly sacrificing the millions of beast army in front of him. With a wave of his hand, the beast army swung its smoke to destroy...

This is a good idea!

When I first listened, I found it funny, but after thinking about it carefully, this matter...

It is unlikely to wave a million soldiers to sacrifice to the sky. If you sacrifice the enemy's equipment on the battlefield, is there such a possibility?

The opponent swung his sword, and the sword disappeared. Zhang Xuan swung his sword, and the armor on the enemy was gone. This operation is a bit slutty!

I originally thought this was completely illogical, but even such things as sacrifices can happen. What logic can I say? No, I have time to try it.

This matter is not easy to try. It involves a matter of ownership. All things belong to the owner of the Zhang family. As a member of the owner, no matter what is sacrificed at home, it cannot prove its feasibility. You must find an enemy to try it to get effective data.

As the prince of Lan County, Zhang Xuan has no substantial enemy within the Lan County. Zhang Mo's open and secret struggles with Huiquan are all internal conflicts among the people and are essentially not hostile forces.

Even if there is an enemy, Zhang Xuan will not take any action. If he captures the enemy back, it will conflict with ownership. The captured things will naturally become his own things and cannot obtain accurate data. We have to carefully study this matter. Is there a safe and feasible solution?

Zhang Er took Zhang Xuan to an empty room, with all kinds of strange things on the ground, including plants, stones, and some strange powdery items.

First, there are grain items. Corn is the staple food in Lan County. It is a season two years, which is nothing to say. This is not exactly the same as the millet in previous lives. It is a species between big yellow rice and small yellow rice. The yield per mu is about one stone, which is 100 kilograms. This yield is really touching.

In addition to corn, there are also a small amount of wheat fields. Zhang Xuan cannot recognize whether it is barley or wheat. There are very few planted in Lan County, and the yield is not as good as corn.

There were only a few types of staple food, and Zhang Xuan found that they were not what he needed. Next, he looked at the wild ones. There were a lot of them. Zhang Xuan could recognize less than one-tenth of them. Zhang Er knew most of them and explained to Zhang Xuan next to him.

"My little master, these are wild beans. The fruit is only so small, the taste is slightly bitter, and the donkey likes to eat it."

Zhang Xuan took the shriveled bean clip and gently pressed it to reveal the beans inside. He was a little excited. This trick looked a bit like soybeans. It is hard to say whether it is. The world of Great Zhou is so different from the world where he was originally located.

"Do you have too many things?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"There are many mountains on the other side, not many in our county." The other side of the mountain mentioned by Zhang Er refers to the area close to the living of mountain people, which is not the territory of Lan County.

"Let me cook some and I'll take it." Zhang Xuan said. The items here are very different from those in his memory. If you don't dare to use them, you must conduct experiments. Fortunately, he is an expert in materials science and is best at doing this job.

There were hundreds of things in the room, which gave Zhang Xuan a great surprise. Not only did he find plants similar to soybeans, but he also had wild onions and garlic seasonings. What made him most happy was that one of the wild plants looked like Panax notoginseng in his memory. This is a good medicine to stop bleeding. It is said that the main ingredient of Yunnan Baiyao is it.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xuan knows very little about traditional Chinese medicine. Panax notoginseng does not mean that he can produce Yunnan Baiyao. That thing is a national confidential formula. Zhang Xuan had a different research direction in his previous life, so he didn't have the chance to get in touch with this thing.

"It doesn't take too much to find some of this thing, dry it and grind it into powder." Zhang Xuan said. It's still the same rule. Things from different worlds cannot be applied directly. It doesn't mean that even Zhang Xuan may not be able to use it. It's better to have honest experiments.

There are not many types of ore, most of them are pure stones, some contain metals, with too low taste and no refining value. The more you know about Dazhou, the more Zhang Xuan wants to complain. Who said that labor costs in ancient times were cheap? In an era of low technology, labor costs were so expensive that they had no friends.

"That's all?" After reading all the things, Zhang Xuan looked up and asked.

"Most of them are here, and some are small in number, and they will not be delivered in two days." Zhang Er replied.

"Okay, you go." Zhang Xuan was tired for a day and was about to go back to his room to rest for a while. He still had a balance of 300 knives in his hand, and he didn't know what good things he could sacrifice.

After taking a book of bamboo slips, he was no longer interested after taking a few glances. He was also indifferent to writing things by himself. Dazhou already had brush and ink. The quality of ink was very poor, and the ink was even worse. If he rubbed his fingers twice, he would become a ball. If he wanted to keep it, he had to carve it with a knife.

Zhang Xuan received the memory of his predecessor and knew how to use a carving knife. But if he carved hundreds or eighty words, he could wear his fingers apart, so he really couldn't get up to the mind of engraving words. He might as well wait until the paper was made.

He had already asked Zhang Er to find someone to do it. With the conditions here, he could only use ancient methods to make paper. He knew the process and technology, but he could not shorten the time. In less than one or two months, he would not be able to make paper.

The papermaking industry in the past life required a large number of chemical preparations, and acid and alkali were essential. Zhang Xuan even needed to use the process of grinding by hand. The efficiency was pitifully inefficient, and the only special process that could be used was actually boiling.

Do you think it’s easy to cook? Think about what kind of cooking rice Zhang Man used before Zhang Xuan casts a copper pot. If there is no boiling container, how can I achieve a large amount of steaming? It’s really useless to cook things in a stone pot.

There is no shortage of materials. Lan County has a lot of hemp. Hemp is a good material for making paper, but it is very difficult to deal with the materials. Fortunately, Zhang Xuan's position in Zhang Mo's heart has been increasing in the past few days. Otherwise, Zhang Er would have no use to support his name. If he can't adjust the manpower, the civilians in the Great Zhou Dynasty have no lazy people, and the lazy people will have starved to death long ago.
