Chapter 31 Gifts

Now that you've hit it and it looks uncomfortable, go ahead and take care of it.

People live in this world just to have clear thoughts and have no worries.

Gongsun Yan, who had already made his decision, called Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan to briefly understand the problems facing the village.

The information she heard was more than shocking. She didn't even know what these people lived on or how they survived.

During the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a lack of farm tools, oxen, and agricultural guidance for intensive farming. An old farmer faced the loess with his back to the sky. In one year, the grain yield per mu was no more than four stones of chestnuts, which is equivalent to about 240 kilograms.

Even if one person works hard to serve fifty acres of thin farmland and pays heavy taxes, the food they can keep in their hands is not even enough to meet the minimum standard of survival for a family.

If there is a natural disaster or war, families will be destroyed and people will die of starvation day and night.

At this time, cotton had not yet entered the Central Plains. How much warmth could the kudzu clothes sandwiched with reed catkins play during the Little Ice Age in the late Han Dynasty?

There is a lack of tools, and the price of bricks and earthwork is high. Common people mostly live in adobe houses to protect themselves from wind and rain, and rely on collecting firewood from the mountains for warmth.

For such an adobe house, if there is a heavy snowfall, if the snow is not cleared in time, the entire roof will collapse.

An ordinary civilian home is like a delicate seedling, easily overturned by wind, rain, and turmoil.

However.

Does the seemingly desperate Han Mo really have no skills to solve the problem?

the answer is negative.

Not to mention Gongsun Yan, an outsider full of variables.

The local Han Dynasty fire walls, temperature-controlled rooms, etc. have already taken preliminary prototypes, but these tricks are basically the stuff of the upper class and will never appear in the homes of ordinary people.

The aristocratic families were proud of their extravagance and regarded these monopoly skills as family treasures, keeping them secret as a symbol of status.

The aristocratic families who master these skills only want to make things rare and valuable, and no one will think about studying these skills carefully, making them cheap, popularizing them, and benefiting the world.

Looking at the charcoal-burning kiln technology, the charcoal-burning technology in the Han Dynasty has also matured, and even noble families have developed white charcoal, silver wire charcoal and other fancy names.

But how many civilians can enjoy such things as charcoal?

It is also a skill that is monopolized by the knowledge of the upper ruling class and is only spread among the upper class.

There are dedicated people to make charcoal, and since the Zhou Dynasty, there has also been a charcoal master to take charge of all charcoal matters.

It is almost impossible for civilians to break through the technological blockade and learn how to make charcoal.

The high price of iron in the Han Dynasty also made it difficult to carry out firewood harvesting on a large scale.

When faced with the harsh winter in the North, civilians often lack ways to cope.

We only live in the cracks. Whether we can survive after natural disasters or man-made disasters all depends on our will and luck.

Knowing this, she made a plan last night and bought the "General Technical Regulations for Rural Fire Kang Systems" and "Technical Guidance for Ancient Charcoal Burning" from the exchange.

Gongsun Yan was born in a country where everything was done at a bargain price to benefit the people. Standing on the shoulders of giants, she was born with unparalleled advantages.

For example, for the fire kang, it turned out that the general technical regulations for the fire kang published by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development allowed her, a person who had never seen a fire kang, to directly skip the research step.

According to the actual situation, alternative materials are selected on-site and directly enter the assembly line operation according to standardized process rules.

The price she paid was just to spend 100 material points at the trader to buy a graphic version of the "General Technical Regulations for Rural Fire Kang Systems" that had been specially screened and processed by the system. It was completely in line with the current technological process and could be easily understood by people of the Han Dynasty.

Another example is the technical diagram and technical difficulties of the native charcoal kiln. In her time, it had been improved to the point where it was enough to have it in hand, and the trading device sold for 50 points.

Even if the beneficiary is not her subject, it doesn't matter if she doesn't get half of the material point benefit.

These two things were the first gifts that Gongsun Yan gave to the world as a visitor in time and space without considering any interests.

After a brief conversation with Li Kui Jiang Xing, although the recruitment was not successful, Gongsun Yan also conveyed his intentions to the old man.

Gongsun Yan took Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan to have a small meeting.

Tian Kai, who was still seriously injured but in good spirits after regaining consciousness, was also carried over.

There was also Yangqiu Lili Kui Jiang Xing who was just a spectator, and Gongsun Cheng was entrusted to Xin Shi on the sidelines. Several people sat around the brazier.

This was not the first time that Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan had experienced such a small meeting. They had discussed matters like this in Huangcun before.

But Tian Kai was very puzzled. He didn't understand why Gongsun Yan was sitting in the main seat and looked like he was going to do something big.

When Gongsun Zan was alive, he did not have much interaction with Gongsun Yan.

After Gongsun Zan's death, his impression of Gongsun Yan was just that fragile little girl who was rescued from a tight siege by Zhao Yun.

In Tian Kai's mind, they just wanted to send the Gongsun siblings to Lingzhi and settle down, and then they had to disperse.

It is impossible for Gongsun Zan's lineage to rise again.

Gongsun Cheng was too young, and Gongsun Zan was beaten so badly that his power was almost completely wiped out. It was their greatest loyalty to preserve the young master's bloodline.

Regardless of Zhao Yun or Xia Houlan, he only dared to ask them to escort Gongsun's sister and brother to Lingzhi, but he did not dare to ask them to continue to serve Gongsun Zan's orphan and be loyal.

Even he himself had never considered staying in Gongsun's family.

He had broken his arm and could no longer ride a horse to fight, and he could no longer serve as an official because of his mutilated limbs. After settling Gongsun's siblings, he planned to return to his hometown in seclusion with his broken body.

Gongsun Yan has never been included in Tian Kai's consideration when he was thinking about the future of the Gongsun family.

The reason couldn't be simpler, she is just a woman.

So Tian Kai was a little confused when he looked at Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan who were sitting obediently under Gongsun Yan.

As for Jiang Xing, the old man has not dared to raise his head until now.

"Zilong?" Tian Kai looked at Zhao Yun with a confused expression.

Zhao Yun did not speak, but nodded to him, and then signaled to him that Gongsun Yan was about to speak.

"Everyone!" Gongsun Yan clapped his hands and coughed slightly as a prelude, turning everyone's attention to her.

In the past, she hated talking too much in meetings and liked to get straight to the point. This style has continued here.

She directly took out the "General Technical Regulations for the Fire Kang System" and the "Technical Guidelines for Ancient Methods of Making Charcoal" and handed them to Zhao Yun on her right first, asking him to read them and pass them on.

Xinshi, who was assigned to do field work, took a hot water bottle and poured a bowl of hot water into the wooden bowls in each person's hands.

Although there is no tea, there must be a sense of ritual for the meeting!

Now, except for Tian Kai who was half lying down, and Gongsun Cheng who was holding toffee in his mouth, everyone was sitting around the fire on their pony with a bowl of hot water in their hands.

"Thank you!" Gongsun Yan thanked Xin Shi and glanced at Tian Kai, who was still confused, "I want to discuss with you today about the Yangqiuli pilot assistance plan."

what's the plan?

Tian Kai opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

Xin Shi put a thick layer of hay on his back to support his waist, allowing him to sit up halfway, but it could not solve his dazed state.

Tian Kai only felt that he had been sleeping not for a few days, but for hundreds of years, and he could not keep up with the rhythm in front of him at all.

Gongsun Yan took out her small notebook, but unfortunately there was no blackboard, which limited her performance.

"I believe everyone has seen the situation in Yangqiuli, and everyone can't bear it. In view of this, I decided to launch a pilot program to help Yangqiuli!" Gongsun Yan set the tone for the meeting from the beginning.

Xia Houlan raised his head in confusion.

Isn't this something that is common in a village like Yangqiuli where a lot of people are caught in troubled times?

Can't they bear to come?

Gongsun Yan had a sincere look on his face. Zhao Yun next to him nodded seriously and then lowered his head to look at what Gongsun Yan had handed him before.

Is he the only one who is cruel?

Just when Xia Houlan was doubting himself, he turned around and saw Tian Kai who had the same expression as him.

The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

He's not the only one!

Xia Houlan turned around and calmed down the expression on his face. Compared to Tian Kai, he spent more time with Gongsun Yan. He knew that this little lady was going to cause trouble again.
