30 Demand

After feeling the fluctuation of talent, Mu Yi thought about what he needed now.

He recorded all the projects that he could think of and needed for development on paper.

Well, paper is the easiest thing to deal with besides the salt industry.

During the period of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zuoziyi in Donglai County further improved the papermaking technique on the basis of Cai Lun, and produced Zuobo paper. It was probably in the second year of Hanzhongping, that is, around 185. It was already in Luoyang. It's a very popular thing.

Therefore, the artisans that Mu Yi found used bark, hemp, and rags as raw materials to directly produce a large amount of paper. Although the materials were not very good, they were already put into use.

Under the arrangement of Mu Yi, these craftsmen are working overtime to improve the papermaking technology, intending to use paper as a second source of income, and also to pave the way for printing, newspapers and other things in the future.

Woodblock printing is not difficult at all. The technology that was used in the Shang Dynasty did not require much development in the Han Dynasty. Mu Yi found a group of craftsmen who had been engaged in the carving industry among the refugees.

As for movable type printing, that thing is a pit, although the technology has improved, but you will know if you understand it, you know that most of the Qing Dynasty used woodblock printing.

This is what Mu Yi saw in the comment section of some historical articles. There was a lot of quarrel at the beginning, so even if he didn't use mental power to strengthen his memory, Mu Yi still remembered this thing.

So Mu Yi didn't plan to engage in such thankless things, and went directly to engraving and printing. Anyway, there was only so much content to be printed, and we'll talk about it later when it stabilizes.

Mu Yi created a simplified version of the Taiping Jing, intending to print a batch of it, and then start distributing it to all the people so that they can learn simplified characters.

Anyway, most of his subordinates are illiterate. Learning simplified characters is much easier than learning traditional characters. When he promotes simplified characters, won't those who only know traditional characters become illiterate?

With such thoughts in mind, Mu Yi began to work hard, but so far, the results have been minimal.

"Well, the problem of food has been temporarily solved, and the fruit and summer millet have been planted. With the income from the salt industry, it will probably last until there is no problem with harvesting."

Mu Yi put a cross on the food. They really don't lack food now, and the chain reaction brought by Qingzhou Mu is gratifying.

Now Mu Yi is not short of money and food. The property obtained from selling salt is sold to powerful families in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and then converted into grain. There is a lot of grain in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, especially those powerful families who built their own Wubao. Naturally willing Exchange food for gold and silver.

Unlike before, where he could only do business with the Zhen family, now Mu Yi has more choices, and he doesn't need to pay too much premium, and he gets more food. Naturally, there is no food problem for the time being.

The summer millet and tree fruit planted only last a hundred days. As long as they persist for a few months until September, after the millet and tree fruit mature, even if they occupy the entire territory of Dongnae, there will be no food crisis.

Tree fruit is a new crop obtained from the world of elves. It is not difficult to grow, and its yield is similar to that of millet, wheat and other crops. It can be regarded as a good crop.

It is also a choice to improve the happiness of the residents under his command. After all, there is still a choice between eating millet and tree fruit.
Moreover, Nanhua's transformed druid spells have begun to show up. It is much more difficult to mobilize the power of nature in the main world than in the elf world, but it can still speed up the growth of plants.

This is even more obvious in the application of tree fruits. Originally, the growth cycle of tree fruits would be longer, which may take six months, but under the effect of druid spells, the time was shortened by nearly half.

As for millet and other crops, Mu Yi did not let those apprentices speed up. After all, the world is different. The interaction between tree fruit and druid spells has recorded experience for reference, and the purpose is to fill the stomach. Gas is completely unimportant.

Millet and other crops are still produced according to the original technology, and ensuring the combat effectiveness of soldiers is the kingly way.

"The salt industry doesn't need to expand production either, the current production of refined salt already has some surplus..." Mu Yi immediately put a cross on the salt industry.

Then Mu Yi turned his attention to the remaining options, metallurgy, fishery, animal husbandry, construction...

Mu Yi thought about it one by one, and crossed out metallurgy. Metallurgy lacks elements such as iron ore and blast furnace, and this thing involves more complicated things, so there is no way to consider it for the time being.

The construction industry is already planning, and he has handed over the cement formula to his subordinates to try to manufacture, but there is no result yet, and it will probably take a while before he can start trying to build roads.

Animal husbandry is even more nonsense. Horses and cattle are lacking in one place. With his current ability, it is a dream to vigorously develop these things, and the grassland that is most suitable for the development of animal husbandry is still the territory of the barbarians, and it is not urgently needed.

Mu Yi started to do the last fishery, and also hired some old fishermen as instructors to teach the refugees fishing experience. However, the problem now is that there is a lack of boats, and they can only move around the sea, and long-distance voyages are basically useless.

According to the old fishermen, there are many fierce beasts in the ocean, and they only dare to move around the edge of the coast.

Without big boats, the fishery would not be able to develop. At most, some fish could be caught, and the people could taste the fish soup every now and then.

After thinking about it, Mu Yi found that what he lacks most now is talents. Although he has recruited a group of scholars and solved the governance problems of the three counties, the symptoms are not the root cause. What he needs is to be able to completely govern a county and a state great talent.

Mu Yi had the intention to issue a recruitment order, no matter what his background was, he was the only one who was able to do so. He was serious, no matter his background, after all, the Yellow Turbans had no background at all.

It's a pity that he is not well-known. If he has Yuan Benchu's prestige, he will basically be able to do so with a roll of recruiting orders.

Those counselors from aristocratic families who have not yet fully become official will come to him to take a look even out of curiosity, not to mention those counselors from poor families, they might just accept their heads and worship.

It's a pity that if there is no if, he didn't catch up with Hulaoguan, the best place to gain reputation. In addition, Qingzhou Mu was still entrusted by the imperial court under Dong Zhuo's control, so there is no gold content.

In the future, when his fist gets bigger, he can take the identity of Qingzhou Mu. Now, it's fine to talk about this name in Donglai County, but he will be laughed at if he goes outside.

"It's decided, go to the New World to train troops!"

Mu Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision, but it was just a tendency.

He still can't control his talent freely, and he doesn't know what world he can go to. The so-called keyword screening also covers a wide range, which is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

So simply find a troubled time, train the troops at hand well, use your fists to confirm the name of Qingzhou Mu, and then issue a recruitment order to directly recruit talents from all over the world.
