I once tried my best to make a house worth tens of square meters, but now I own hundreds of thousands of acres of land!

The difference is so big that it can’t be calculated, Ye Hua thinks it’s too worth it!

He lay on a dead grass, looking at the blue sky, smelling the breath of the grass, and his cheeks were stiff when he smiled. He kept thinking about plans in his mind, how to use it so that this treasure land can be realized with its maximum potential.

First of all, the workshop is set up on the south bank of Wuzhang River, and the raw materials are transported by the river, and the finished products are then sent to the capital.

Steel, this is the most important thing. With steel, you can make all kinds of tools and create armored weapons and armed forces.

It would be so embarrassing if the champion Hou did not have a single team that he looked down upon!

There are also textiles, wood, bricks, tiles, ceramics... all of them are needed!

By the way, if you can erect a large water truck and use the power of water, you will have more things to do and your efficiency will also increase.

One by one, one thought came out all the time, and Ye Hua couldn't wait. This piece of land was just a piece of white paper, waiting for him to splash ink!

After returning from a circle, it was already dusk and the old lady was still waiting.

"Here, here, and here, all for the eldest mother!"

Ye ordered without hesitation. Ye Hua leaned over and found that his grandmother pointed to three places, one of which was the village where his uncle's family was located. Many villagers learned how to hatch eggs with the old lady. Ye wanted to set up a breeding farm here so that more villagers could raise chickens together.

Ye Hua agreed happily that the second land that Ye’s interest was the entire place, the only low hill with sparse trees. Ye wanted to plant mulberry trees here and raise silkworms and silkworms to reel.

Also, when raising chickens and ducks, feed is needed, so the old lady asked for a piece of sand.

"There is no need to feed chickens with good food. Just plant some mixed grains and beans and crush them. If you don't have enough food, you can pick up some grass seeds and bugs. You have the final say on the remaining good land."

Ye Hua has a different view from the old lady.

"Big Mom, it's not cost-effective to grow free-range. I'm going to get some mixed grains and chaff, lock the chickens up, and fatten them up quickly. I can take action in 3 months and raise 4 crops a year. If I raise more, I can earn more..."

The old lady did not listen to Ye Hua's tricks rashly. She thought for a while and said, "The food is not sufficient at present. I can't say whether it can be done. I'll take out half of it to raise it first."

Unexpectedly, Ye still has such a scientific and rigorous style, which is actually summarized from the hatching of eggs. After all, it took her several times to figure out the rules and not to be rushing to achieve everything.

Ye Hua Xinran agreed that these things would be left to the old lady to handle.

His mind is still focused on iron smelting. The progress of tools is the key to improving production efficiency. Only when production efficiency is improved, playing real estate and finance, and with industrial support, can we continue to move forward.

Otherwise, it would be like building a commercial street, and it would collapse soon after it would be forced to work hard to wipe your butt. It would be so depressing!

Ye Hua made up his mind to take one step at a time, like countless time traveling seniors, clicking on the technology tree, waving his golden fingers, and moving forward honestly.

Everything starts with iron smelting!

He came to the Wuzhang River and was preparing to guide the craftsmen how to construct and smelte... Ye Hua was full of confidence. Although he was half-baked, he had so many years of leading experience. He could not scare everyone if he came up with some ideas!

In fact, when you arrive by the river, the person who is scared is Ye Hua!

For the first time, he was stunned by the ability of ancient craftsmen.

Craftsmen are building iron-smelting blast furnaces with refractory bricks. Yes, it is the blast furnace. It is almost the same as the shape of later generations. The furnace body furnace has different inclinations and the waist of the belly furnace is very scientific and beautiful, with a height of about 3 meters.

Ye Hua remembers historical records that a blast furnace of more than 6 meters appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, which seemed to be true!

Since he doesn't need to mix with the blast furnace, what about other things?

For example, bellows, this is also the key, there is always a chance to show its skills!

But when Ye Hua checked, he shook his head directly. It turned out that craftsmen had invented a reciprocating bellows. This bellows open and close the wooden box cover to blow the air. There is a shutter on the cover. There is also a shutter at the connection between the wooden box and the air duct, one is the air inlet and the other is the air outlet. The cover plate is fanned and the two shutters are opened and closed alternately. At the same time, two wooden fans can be used alternately to blow the air continuously, greatly increasing the furnace temperature, reducing time and saving fuel.

Because the wooden windbox is large, many people pull a fan, or simply use animal power to drive it.

The busy craftsmen took the time to tell Ye Hua that they were thinking about erecting a water truck in Wuzhang River and using the help of hydraulic power to drive the bellows, which was even more powerful, and people and animals were not very laborious. It was just that building a water truck cost money. I wonder if the Marquis would rather bear it?

If you are willing to give up, what else can you not give up?

Don’t be too capable, leave me some room to play!

After walking around several times, Ye Hua found a place that could be improved.

That is to heat the air blown out of the bellows and install two furnaces. The hot air blows in and it is easier to increase the furnace temperature than the cold air.

After hearing this, the craftsmen were extremely amazed. The Marquis knew everything and even knew iron smelting. What else could they do? These craftsmen were all inherited craftsmanship. They accumulated little by little, and often took several generations to make some improvements. Many techniques that appeared in the documents of the Song Dynasty actually appeared in the Five Dynasties and even the Tang Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty, the writing was formed.

Moreover, with the pride of the scholars and officials, it is impossible for them to record the latest technology at the first time.

Ye Hua thought about it for a while, and he was convinced that with his current technical level, a little integration would definitely reach the level of the Northern Song Dynasty, or even stronger.

Although it only increased for decades, the steel output of the Northern Song Dynasty reached 150,000 tons, which was more than the early days of the British Industrial Revolution. Even if it was only half, it was temporarily enough.

Ye Hua took out all the profits from purchasing grain these days, as well as the salary and rewards of the Champion Hou, as well as Gao Huaide, Fu Zhaoxin, Wang Tingyi and others... You are clamoring to make a fortune together, and there is no one in the world who can enjoy the fruits without spending a penny.

Ye Hua knocked 30,000 guan from them, and with his own money, it was enough for the iron smelting workshop to build blast furnaces and water trucks.

"Marty, there is something else I have to report to the Martyr."

The blacksmith told Ye Hua that the battles around Kaifeng have been fought for years and the trees have been cut down very well. If they want to smelve a large amount of iron, they lack a lot of fuel, which is very troublesome.

"No wood? Then use charcoal!" Ye Hua blurted out, but the stonemasons shook their heads, "Marquis, the iron made of charcoal cannot be used as armor and weapons. If the Marquis wears it on the battlefield, they will suffer a great loss!"

Ye Hua took a breath and suddenly couldn't help laughing!

Ha ha!

The craftsmen are not that powerful yet, and they don’t know about it!

Ye Hua remembered reading a saying that since the Song Dynasty, there has been no such much wood in the Central Plains, and only coal can be used to make steel. However, China's coal contains a lot of sulfur, resulting in too much impurities in steel and poor quality.

Japan still uses wood to make steel, so their samurai swords are sharper.

Now, I heard from the craftsmen’s opinions, so it is true!

But Ye Hua has a way!

As long as the coal is heated above 850 degrees, the sulfur will escape, and the remaining coke will be used to smelify iron, which can avoid the problem of excessive sulfur content.

Ye Hua was very sure. Just as he was full of confidence and was preparing to take action, the brothers Yang Ye and Yang Chongxun suddenly came. They looked at each other and couldn't speak.

"All brothers who live and die together, what can I say?" Ye Hua blamed him with a dark face.

Yang Ye sighed, "Champion Hou, our Yang family still has sword skills, do you want it?"

Ye Hua thought there was something wrong with his ears, "You have to take the initiative to teach me?"
