Chapter 225 Timber Resources
The next topic became easier. Yunyao asked about the dragon clan and learned that the dragon clan was actually very complicated, with all kinds of dragons. Not all dragons have wisdom. Some of them were not smart, and they would be sent to the heaven as ingredients.
These wise dragons are not cultivated, but are caused by various coincidences. For example, if the Dragon King accidentally urinates, the creatures that are urinated will become dragons. Of course, this is just a situation, so the orthodox dragon clan is very restrained in their daily lives and will not easily exchange liquids with the creatures around them. However, no matter how careful you are, you cannot avoid it. After all, the dragon clan also lives in the three realms, and there are so many dragons and dragons, so you will accidentally create a dragon.
This kind of dragon without intelligence is not the same in the eyes of the dragon clan, but it treats monkeys the same as the human clan, so even if it turns into food, the dragon clan will not care.
As for those scale clans who transform into dragons through cultivation, the dragon clan recognizes them and welcomes them to join the dragon clan family. However, the dragon clan cannot give them any protection, because there are enough dragon clans.
The Dragon King Zhuhe did not hide this, which could be regarded as solving Yunyao's long-standing doubts, that is, the origin of the dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
When feelings and the dragon race exchange liquid, they can create edible dragons without wisdom.
"The wonder of living creatures is really amazing." Yun Yao sighed from the bottom of his heart.
The Dragon King said, "The human race envys the dragon race, but in fact the dragon race also envys the human race, but they only have their own strengths."
After drinking the wine and eating the specialties, I made an appointment with the Dragon King to collect the East China Sea Spirit Stones and then started to reclaim them. The Dragon King sent Yun Yao out of Zhuhe.
The Dragon King of Zhuhe was very fast, and he transported enough spirit stones from the East China Sea in three days and spread them at the bottom of Zhuhe. Then Yunyao used a measuring ruler to calculate the flow rate of Zhuhe and spent twelve hours to open a seaweed field for the Dragon King.
As a thank you, the Dragon King gave a black pearl with a big eyeball.
Pearls are luxury goods. At this stage, the market for luxury goods is not big. Unlike the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes are also pursuing material enjoyment and luxury goods. Moreover, because the grain output is increasing, more and more soldiers can be produced, resulting in the scale of the war being increased.
It was a good thing to have a large grain output, but the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period caused various problems due to the increase in grain output. After eating, they began to become extravagant and began to pursue huge profits.
Fortunately, a small number of people seek ways to end the war after they are full, that is, various schools of thought.
What do you want to do when you are full? Yunyao often thinks about this issue, especially when you suddenly feel relaxed, you finish the training, class, and the work in the fief is completed one by one, and even the neighbors are helped.
What should we do? Sure enough, there is nothing to do except build the Heavenly Court. Yunyao thought that in the world, when the grain output in the future increases, the princes will build a large-scale construction to make the people busy. In the more distant future, there will be no corvee service, but there will be various needs. Ordinary people will have to make money after they have enough. Only by making money can they satisfy the various pursuits, and being busy making money will be honest.
So when you are full, you have to find something to do. Yunyao doesn’t want to fight, so he has to find something else to do. He can’t fight, and he doesn’t want to develop the entertainment industry so quickly, so he should practice.
Yunyao found something for himself. In the eyes of the savages, their lords didn't know what they were busy with, unlike when they were full, they could bask in the sun.
Of course, due to Yun Yao's influence, savages spend less and less time basking in the sun. After all, everyone around them is busy, and it is not appropriate to be idle if they are idle.
The savage also wants to integrate into the collective. The collective is working. If an individual is lazy, he will obviously be out of place. Even the savage knows that only unity can survive and make life better, so everyone will naturally participate in labor.
"It's cold, Ms. Zhu, someone is here to buy charcoal. Should we make charcoal exchange?" Shuzai came over and told Yunyao that charcoal from Zhu's family is also a very popular product now.
Autumn is coming again, and summer is really short.
Charcoal is made by inadequate combustion and evaporates the moisture in the wood, and the combustion temperature is higher. The history of charcoal is very long and existed in the Xia Dynasty, and it will run through the entire history of human civilization. Even after the industrial age, charcoal still exists as an adsorbent.
Before coal and oil were exploited in large quantities, charcoal was definitely the main fuel. Now there are few Chinese people who can burn charcoal, so the price of charcoal is high. After the charcoal technology is popularized, the situation of worrying about charcoal is humble and willing to be cold in "The Charcoal Selling Man" will appear.
The lords of Lu all knew that the Zhu family had high-quality charcoal, so some big families sent people to buy it.
"Charcoal." Yunyao looked at Zhu He. One of the reasons why he wanted to transport water was to transport wood through Zhu He.
There is too little wood in Yunyao Caiyi. If water transportation is opened, then the wood from the upstream and downstream can be transported to Caiyi.
"Forget it this year, next year." Yun Yao said: "When I solve the source of the wood, then consider other things." Many projects are delayed because the wood is not enough, such as papermaking.
Water and fire, two issues that human race cannot be avoided in survival. Yunyao's fief has sufficient water resources but not enough fuel.
Just planting trees is difficult, so we still have to use water to make up for the inability to stay in the fire. There are abundant wood resources upstream and downstream. As long as the water transportation is opened, the Zhu family Caiyi will open the Ren and Du meridians.
"What are the plans of Zhu Nu?" Shuzai heard Yun Yao mention it next year, and knew that Yun Yao must have made a big move. He admired Zhu Nu in this regard, because Zhu Nu's plan for fiefs is always amazing, which is unexpected.
It is because of Zhu Nu that even the savages can raise some chickens and ducks, and the lives of the Chinese people are even more prosperous, so Shu Zai was very curious about what Zhu Nu’s thoughts were.
"Since we rely on water, we must use river water transportation to make up for our disadvantages." Yunyao proposed the idea of water transportation: "We lack wood in our fief, but there are many dense forests upstream and downstream, so if we can use Zhuhe to transport wood..."
Shuzai widened his eyes and felt it was feasible: "If we succeed, then our fief will never be short of wood again. But how can we transport it?"
"Travel with a canoe, the trees will float on the water anyway." Yunyao said: "After a while, I'll try it first. If it's feasible, we'll build a few more canoes and choose a few people to learn how to row."
Shuzai nodded repeatedly: "This method is good. Our fief is really too short of wood. With wood, we can build a larger granary and build a few more jacquard machines."
