Daming Military Empire

Chapter 585 Great Development of Xibo
Luo Zongshan's worries are obviously superfluous. The Ministry of War did not transfer them here to let them starve to death. Although the mountains and forests cannot grow food, there are other incomes. It is impossible to starve them to death. They work hard and earn more money than farming.

As for how to earn this money, Luo Zongshan doesn't need to think about it, the court has already considered it for them.

No, Ma Kai waved to him again, and said kindly: "Lao Luo, come with me."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the bookshelf behind the desk.

Luo Zongshan rubbed the back of his head, followed inexplicably.

Ma Kai's bookshelf is new at first glance. The wood grain can still be seen in the white flowers, and it hasn't even been painted. Moreover, the bookshelf is a bit ridiculously large. One bookshelf occupies almost the entire wall, and the arrangement of the bookshelves is also a bit strange. Except for the top row, which is placed vertically, the books below are all lying horizontally, and I don't know what kind of books they are.

Before Luo Zongshan figured out what was going on, Ma Kai started to take books from inside. He didn't take books one by one, but stacks of books. He pressed one hand on the stack of books lying horizontally, and the other Touching the head of the book with one hand and counting carefully, counting about ten books, and then took them out, Sai Luo Zongshan said in his hand: "I will give you ten books for the same ones first, so you can read it, don't mess it up If it’s broken, ask me for a new one, but I’ll charge you for it. This is the “San Zi Jing” for children, so that your literate staff can teach the children when they’re free.”

Luo Zongshan is inexplicable, why does Mr. Ma still send him books, and he also comes with ten copies of each item first, what is this for?
He looked down and saw that the cover of the top book was indeed printed with three large characters of "San Zi Jing", and next to it was printed, supervised by the Ministry of Education of the Ming Dynasty.

Just as he was wondering, Ma Kai took out another stack, stuffed it into his arms, and introduced: "This is "Thousand Characters", and it is also for children to learn. The emperor has said that all children in Daming should be literate." , look at the arrangement, every capital will build a school in the future, and children who have learned the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" can come to school, and maybe you can produce a champion under your command."

Luo Zongshan became dizzy when he heard the words. The number one scholar that Mr. Ma said should be the number one scholar in literature. It is simply a fantasy for the children of Tunwei to take the imperial examination and return the number one scholar in Chinese.

Well, the Ming Dynasty did not stipulate that the guards were not allowed to study, nor did it stipulate that the guards could not participate in the imperial examinations, but the guards generally participated in the martial arts examinations, and the number one scholar in the literature, Mr. Ma really dared to think about it!

Before it was over, Ma Kai took out another stack of books and introduced: "This is the method of breeding deer. The forest here is especially suitable for breeding deer. Moreover, deer antler and deer skin are very valuable, and venison can also be sold. Money, later you go to get ten species of deer, raise them well, you can earn a lot of money, of course, you can also go to the mountains and forests to catch, the more you catch, the more you will raise."

Raising deer to make money?Luo Zongshan really didn't think about how much money he could make, enough to support so many people under his command, he would still be very upset.

Seeing his stunned look, Ma Kai couldn't help laughing and said: "Put the books on the desk first, there are more behind."

Hearing this, Luo Zongshan quickly put the book in his arms on the desk next to him, took the book from Ma Kai's hand and put it on the desk.

Ma Kai took out another stack of books and introduced: "This is the breeding method of war horses. I don't need to say what war horses can be used for. However, the land under your jurisdiction is not very suitable for raising war horses, and the Ministry of War has only allocated them for you." The ten stallions are mainly used to pull carts, so you can raise them."

Luo Zongshan nodded blankly, took the stack of books and placed them on the desk.

Then, Ma Kai took out a stack of books and introduced: "This is the introduction of Xibo's use of various beasts. You have to read it carefully. This is a good way to make money. There are many beasts here, and many of them are very valuable. Not to mention tigers, leopards, and black bears, they are all very valuable. The most common one here is mink, and mink fur is also very valuable. Now a piece of sable skin can be sold for five taels of silver, and a piece of mink skin can be sold Three taels, mink skins are the least valuable, and one piece can be sold for two taels of silver. I don’t need to teach you how to hunt, as long as you are not lazy, it is easy to make money.”

Hunting to make money, hearing that Luo Zongshan is finally interested, listening to Mr. Ma's tone, there are quite a lot of prey here, and he finally has some confidence in feeding the large group of people under him. Time, and cherish some more.

Then, Ma Kai took out another stack of books and introduced: "This is an introduction to various rare medicinal materials in Siberia. I heard that there are a lot of wild ginseng in the forest here. If you dig a big one, you will make a fortune. "

There are also precious medicinal materials and wild ginseng!

Getting rich, getting rich, Luo Zongshan's hands trembling when receiving the book.

Then, Ma Kai took out a stack of books and introduced: "I didn't understand the contents of this book. Nuts, pine nuts, caviar and so on. I heard that they are all very valuable. Maybe you will understand when you see the real thing. .”

Well, Luo Zongshan has never seen these things before, as long as they are worth money, why not search the entire jurisdiction to find them!

Then, Ma Kai took out another stack of books and introduced: "This book is about wood. In the future, the imperial court will come to buy wood regularly. You can prepare it in advance according to the requirements and quantity. This can also make a lot of money."

Cut down trees to make money, and the court also collects them regularly!Another way to make money came, Luo Zongshan's face turned red with excitement.

Then, Ma Kai took out another stack of books and introduced: "This is the identification method of various mineral deposits, such as coal mines, iron mines, gold mines, silver mines, petroleum mines, gemstone mines, etc., take a good look, if There are also rewards for the imperial court who can discover a mineral deposit in the jurisdiction, and they will definitely recruit people nearby when mining, and you can earn multiple incomes."

Well, with so many ways to make money, Luo Zongshan is no longer worried about the food for his subordinates, but about how much money he can make in the future!
At this point, Ma Kai finally stopped bringing out the books, but Luo Zongshan did not do it. There are still two stacks of books that have not been touched. Why didn't they be sent to him? What book is it?"

Ma Kai shook his head, and said helplessly: "One of these two books introduces the crops grown here, and the other is about fish farming. You can't farm land, and you can't raise fish. Why do you want it?"

Luo Zongshan said with a deadpan face: "I just saw on the map that there seems to be a small river in our jurisdiction. Maybe we can grow some things, raise some fish or something."

Hearing this, Ma Kai shook his head helplessly again, then took out one from the last two stacks of books, put it in his hand, and said: "Okay, okay, you can also take one to see, if you can really grow land or fish and then ask me for the remaining nine books.”

Luo Zongshan took the two books and smiled happily. They are all money.

After handing out the book, Ma Kai directly took out a printed official document from the desk, brushed and drew on it for a while, and then handed it to Luo Zongshan, saying: "Take a count and sign it. If there is anything you don't understand You can come here to ask, I will remember for you, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry will regularly organize officials to answer questions."
