After rebirth I became the tyrant's little white lotus

On the morning of the second day, Bai Miao found a way for Rong Su to go to the National Teacher's Mansion to sort out the mine.

At this moment, Bai Miao was suddenly very grateful that when he was taking a professional class in his previous life, he met a teacher who liked to talk about history and mineral resources.

"Looking for dragons and dividing gold to look at the winding mountain, one layer of winding is one layer of gates. If there are thousands of locks on the closed door, there must be princes living here."

This sentence comes from Yang Junsong's "Shaking the Dragon Classic" in the Tang Dynasty. Although it is said to be a dragon-hunting technique for robbing tombs, Bai Miao's former teacher also said that distinguishing landscapes and terrains can not only find ancient tombs buried deep in the ground, At the same time, it can also be used to find the location of the vein.

As early as thousands of years ago, there were always strange plants with blue or purple petals in places where copper mines were rich. However, where such plants grow densely and densely, the bottom must be rich in copper mines. The flowers and plants are also named "copper grass flowers".

"This method can be used."

Bai Miao wrote down its feasibility and the external characteristics of copper grass flowers in detail with a brush, "Most of the flowers we see are red and pink in warm tones, and blue is rare. Finding a large cluster of blue flower clusters is also a relatively obvious feature, and according to ancient records, this method has been tried and tested, and the feasibility is extremely high."

Rong Su nodded in agreement, "I've heard of this, but I don't know much about it. If it's as you said, then it's really convenient."

"Yes, there's more..." Bai Miao pointed to another piece of paper and said, "Look at this - on the top there is dansha, and on the bottom there is gold; There are mausoleum stones on the top, lead, tin and red copper on the bottom; ocher on the top, iron on the bottom. According to this, we can also find it."

This passage of Bai Miao comes from "Guanzi·Dishu Pian". According to legend, it is a dialogue between Xuanyuan Huangdi and his minister Bo Gao.

"It sounds familiar, but I don't understand it." Rong Su chuckled and touched her head in embarrassment. She is not a professional in this area.

After a pause, she continued: "But mining is a problem... Now Dayin's technology is completely unable to support mining equipment. It can only rely on manpower, and manpower is the cheapest labor force. The input is almost not proportional to the output. Get twice the result with half the effort!"

"I know, this is indeed a difficult problem, but there is always a solution...Let me think about it..." Bai Miao frowned, trying to think about the history that the teacher once told about ancient mining, "I remember our The professional teachers at that time said that most of the ancient people’s methods of mining minerals were surface weathering residues, accumulation mines, iron ore on the banks of rivers, and iron ore exposed in the shallow part of the surface...”

"So I think, since the technology is limited now, let's start with the simple aspects first. It would be best if iron ore can be found on the ground, saving manpower and material resources. As for the arsenal, iron ore was used for production at the very beginning; as for For copper mines, we can start with a long-term plan.”

"Besides, the description of iron ore in "Tiangong Kaiwu" has said that the surface of the soil is shallow and there are no deep holes. In this case, it must be easier to mine iron ore," Bai Miao pointed her fingertips On the paper, "I still remember a sentence, which is often mentioned by our professional class teachers-if it is smelted and fried, those who float will pick it up. After the rain is wet, the ox plows the soil and picks up those within a few inches of the soil."

The general meaning of this sentence is that if smelting occurs, people can pick up the floating things; after the rain moistens the land, let the cattle turn the soil over, and people can pick up those within a few inches of the soil to get iron.

There must be elements of exaggeration in this statement, but now Bai Miao would rather believe it or not, this kind of attempt will not consume too much manpower and material resources, but you can give it a try, if it succeeds, it will be the best up.

"If that's the case, I think it will be easy to do." Rong Su nodded, "We don't have to worry about mining iron ore, but we have to find it first; copper mine is easy for us to find, but it is more difficult to mine."

"Half and half, both are one-half of the feasibility, so we can only do it step by step." Bai Miao put away the paper and smiled: "The solution is always what people think, let's act first."

In the past, when Bai Miao was still a student in his previous life, he was never an inked person. As long as it was something that was decided, he would definitely do it and finish it at the first time.

Therefore, when he was a student, he was always the one who finished his winter and summer homework early. It was because of his character that Bai Miao still abided by the requirements of himself even when he was in college without the teacher's control. never fell.

But now that he has come to Dayin, after he has decided what to do for Dayin, he is ready for everything.

So that night, Bai Miao presented Emperor Wu with a thick stack of bamboo paper, which recorded all the ways he could think of to find or excavate minerals.

Regarding Bai Miao's plans, Emperor Wu originally held a business-like attitude, and his strictness was also a recognition of Bai Miao.

Under the warm yellow candlelight, Tu Xiuting held the bamboo paper in his hand, no sparks could be seen in his dark eyes.

And Bai Miao was sitting on the opposite side of the man, with his hands neatly placed on his thighs, the side of his fair face was dyed orange red by the halo, his jade-colored eyes were not only anticipation, but also anxiety of waiting .

Compared with Emperor Wu's understanding of Dayin, although Bai Miao has made up a lot of content in the past period of time, from humanities and history to geographical customs, Bai Miao is still too immature, perhaps because of the limited life experience, his gaze He tried his best to see as far as he could, but it was difficult to achieve the position he wanted in his heart.

Therefore, instead of burying his head in research, Bai Miao still has the most beneficial golden finger - Tu Xiuting, Emperor of Chengwu, Dayin.

Emperor Wu put down the bamboo paper, and said in Bai Miao's nervous eyes: "In general, it is feasible."

Bai Miao's eyes lit up, but the next moment, as Emperor Wu spoke again, the silver-haired boy restrained his happiness.

"But, Miao Miao, you forgot one important point." The outline of Emperor Wu's brows and eyes became a little hazy under the candlelight, making Bai Miao almost dazzle his eyes.

"What is it?" What Bai Miao wrote was already the limit he could think of.

"How to explain to the people of the world?" Emperor Wu knew what Bai Miao was thinking, so he would give his little lotus a hard push, but only if he would let Bai Miao truly understand the rules and regulations of this era. limit.

"But what does this have to do with the common people?" Bai Miao was puzzled.

Emperor Wu tapped the table with his fingertips, and asked softly: "Now, what do the people of Dayin take as their main occupation?"

"Cultivation."

Although farmers are tired, they are the largest group in Dayin. However, two-thirds of Dayin people are composed of farmers, and [-]% of the remaining third are businessmen. , [-]% are wandering beggars, [-]% are refugees in exile, and [-]% are officials, nobles and royal families.

"So, since the common people mainly focus on farming, what do you think is wrong with you?"

With that said, Emperor Wu handed the paper to Bai Miao, motioning him to look at it for himself.

In fact, Emperor Wu could clearly and simply point out problems for Bai Miao, but this is not a solution to the root cause. If it has been going on for a long time, Bai Miao can only develop the habit of relying too much on Emperor Wu.

Although this is what Tu Xiuting wants to see, it doesn't mean that he will kill Bai Miao's growth space because of this - a national teacher must have ability to be competent, and Bai Miao is far from enough.

The silver-haired boy obediently took the paper and lowered his head to read it carefully, while thinking about Emperor Wu's words in his mind.

The people of Dayin mainly focus on farming, so what is farming related to?

It must be land!

Bai Miao felt that she had caught something.

He quickly turned back a few pages, scanning the lines inch by inch.

And Emperor Wu smiled lightly with his chin in his hand, his eyes were full of doting and he looked at Bai Miao who was thinking seriously.

"Farming..." Bai Miao subconsciously frowned slightly, and the pale pink lips were bitten with bright red marks, "The land, the people... mining minerals..."

"Ah! I see!" Bai Miao raised his head suddenly, and a pair of bright eyes met Emperor Wu, "Your Majesty, is it a matter of land?"

After a pause, without waiting for Emperor Wu to answer, Bai Miao continued on his own, "I was thinking about looking for ores before, and many of the places where there may be minerals are in the cultivated land of the common people. Going to mine will inevitably make the people dissatisfied. Although they may dare to be angry and dare not speak out, but if they want to build an arsenal, mining will not end in a short period of time. In the long run, their dissatisfaction will definitely accumulate. Cause some unnecessary confusion and disputes."

"Furthermore, as far as the common people are concerned, weapons and other objects are related to war, and he is quite repulsed in his heart. If I can't come up with an explanation, it will be difficult to win the hearts of the people."

After the words fell, Bai Miao looked at Emperor Wu with burning eyes.

The man nodded, "Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. This has been the case since ancient times, even if you are a national teacher."

"So I should think about it now, how to explain this to the people?"

"Yes." Emperor Wu stood up, took the bamboo paper out of the boy's hand, carried him on his shoulders and walked towards the bedroom, "I don't know if your method of writing will work, but the first thing is— You need the approval of the people."

"People's hearts are unpredictable. They may treat you like a god at the last moment, but it is inevitable that something will cause you to fall from the altar. At that time, it is the most difficult thing to do... So, it is better for you to be good. Use your status as a national teacher and don't give yourself any chance to fall."

Emperor Wu patted Bai Miao's waist, "Miao Miao, do you understand?"

"I understand, but it's so hard to do!"

Saying that, Bai Miao slumped on Emperor Wu's broad shoulders like a salted fish and sighed.

"It's okay, there's still Zhen." Emperor Wu's voice was smiling, he let Bai Miao grow up, but he would also protect Bai Miao in secret, "Zhen will teach you."

"Then I will study hard!"

Indeed, Tu Xiuting gave Bai Miao a lot, a lot, and after a long, long time, Bai Miao still remembered tonight, the promise made by the man, and all the things he had learned from the man.

This is the treasure of Bai Miao's eternal life.
