"Mr. Qi, how much food is left in the village?" After a moment of silence, Ma Hanshan changed the topic.
How did it come to this matter? Qi Nanyue was stunned for a moment and said: "Sixty shi of grain, two hundred kilograms of coarse salt, twenty taels of silver, eighty guan of money, and five gold items."
"Haha, the village is not very poor." Ma Hanshan said with a smile, suddenly feeling a little grateful to someone else's father for leaving behind a lot of "family property".
Nowadays, brown rice costs about 500 to 600 taels per shi, and first-class good rice only costs 700 to 800 taels per shi. The average annual expenditure of a family of several people is only a few taels of money, more than 100 taels of silver, which is indeed a small fortune, not to mention
There are also several pieces of goldware.
"Master, there are 110 people in the village. Even if there are no other expenses, if all the money is used to buy food, they won't be able to eat for long." Qi Nanyue reminded.
"Well, I know, but we are not dead people and we will not make money. The worst is, we will go out and rob the barbarians." Ma Hanshan said disapprovingly. In fact, he didn't care about it in his heart. However, he believed that he would not starve to death.
, this place is close to a big mountain. After a moment of pause, he said, "Mr. Qi, please excuse me and go out to the mountain to do a few things tomorrow."
"The village master is very polite, please give me your orders." Qi Nanyue said with his fists clasped.
"It's a simple thing, just go out and spend money." Ma Hanshan is determined to continue reforming from beginning to end, from the inside out.
…
The next day, Qi Nanyue went out with all the silver and copper coins in the village, as well as several drawings drawn by Ma Hanshan.
That's right, this time Qi Nanyue went out to the mountain to spend money. Ma Hanshan ordered him to prepare one stone of food for each person, and then ordered two sets of clothes, a hat, and two pairs of shoes for everyone in the village. Of course, the styles of clothes and hats,
They all have to be sewn according to his "designed" pattern.
What's his design like? Of course it's very eye-catching.
The clothes and hat were the military hats from the 1950s and 1960s that he had seen in movies and TV shows in his previous life. Well, there was also a belt. The leather was too expensive. He drew a picture of the belt and asked the blacksmith to buckle it, and then made it out of cloth. In fact, the cloth belt is quite good.
Well, the cloth belt fits more snugly.
In addition to buying things, Qi Nanyue's mission is to find ways to buy gunpowder and find a pottery master. The combat effectiveness of the militiamen in the village is almost negligible. Ma Hanshan needs to buy some gunpowder to make some special defense weapons. The world is too chaotic.
Robbery and thieves happen in minutes, and you can't kill them with a big blade alone.
Many fields in this world were more developed than what he knew about the Song Dynasty. For example, gunpowder was not powdered gunpowder but granular gunpowder. The formula was more reasonable and much more powerful than that of the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, although gunpowder was good, it was not as good as the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty in another time and space did not use it for military purposes, but used it to make fireworks.
Therefore, Ma Hanshan really made the right idea when he wanted to use gunpowder to make weapons.
Two bullshit scholars in time and space think that nothing is serious except reading, as if they can recite poems and make up the food they use. They even call advanced technology a fancy trick and treat people who are engaged in science and technology.
Considered as heresy. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Dasong was invaded by other countries like the Song Dynasty.
Ma Hanshan still wanted to buy a lot, but unfortunately the property his "father" left to him was only a hundred and ten taels of silver, so he could only buy grain and some coarse cloth clothes worth only a few tens of cash.
…
Qi Nanyue spent money to go out of the mountain, but Ma Hanshan went into the mountain with A Niu and two strong thieves and militiamen. The reason why he went into the mountain was to find a way to make money for Wagang Village and rely on the mountain to live on. He thought he was right.
Guogai Mountain is huge, and many places are inaccessible, even like virgin forests.
"Master, why are we going into the mountains? There are tigers, wolves, poisonous snakes in the mountains, it's not fun at all." There is nothing interesting in the mountains, and Aniu doesn't understand why the master wants to go into the mountains.
"Are there really tigers and wolves?" Ma Hanshan was not afraid, but more interested. He had never seen wild tigers and wolves in his previous life.
"It's true, there are many ferocious beasts in the Wild Wolf Valley." said the militiaman named Hei Zai.
"Is Wild Wolf Valley far away?" Ma Hanshan disagreed.
"It's far, you have to climb two mountains." Hei Zai said.
"Oh... Are there any medicinal materials or strange stones in the Wild Wolf Valley?" Ma Hanshan only thinks that there are things to make money in the mountains. He has no specific goals. It's really not possible. You can get a lot of food by killing a few tigers. (Haha, in this world
Tiger hunting is a hero, and there will never be anyone who loves animals.)
"Yes...I've never been there..." Hei Zai said timidly.
"Damn, you've never been there before. What the hell are you talking about?" Ma Hanshan was speechless.
"Master, go to Yunshan. I heard from the old village leader that there are medicinal materials there." A Niu said.
Not everyone knows about medicinal materials, only those who have studied medicine under the guidance of a teacher. Because of this, Ma Hanshan believes that he can make money by going to the mountains to collect medicinal materials. In his previous life, Ma Hanshan grew up in a medical family, and he knew three or four medicinal materials.
Hundreds of looks.
"Okay, let's go to Yunshan first, then to Langgu, and lead the way." It's always better to have a goal than to search all the way.
The mountains and the sea are both treasure houses. Ma Hanshan never thought that Guogai Mountain would have so many valuable "treasures". In just one day, he found many things that could be exchanged for money. For example, the tung trees on Yingshan Mountain and the camellia oleifera on Guan Mountain,
There is also the open-pit phosphate rock discovered in the Rock Valley. They are both good things. Tung oil and camellia oil are both strategic materials and are very valuable. And the phosphate rock... can it be used to make some phosphate fertilizer or something?
Yunshan is a great treasure. More than ten kinds of valuable medicinal materials such as Eucommia ulmoides, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Cornus officinalis have been found in Mahan Mountain. There is actually a wild peach valley at the foot of the mountain with many peach trees.
What surprised him the most was the vast expanse of wild tea on the mountainside of Yunshan Mountain. The tung and camellia oleifera fruits only mature in autumn and winter, and the tung and camellia berries have to be dried and squeezed after being picked.
Oil can only be exchanged for money, and valuable medicinal materials cannot be harvested until summer. Even if you can harvest a lot of them and exchange them for a lot of money, water from afar cannot save a fire near you.
As for tea, now is the picking season, spring tea. He has long been tired of drinking the "assorted flavor" tea that Aniu made for him. He wants to drink fragrant green tea, he wants to drink Maojian, he wants to drink Biluochun,
He wants to drink Tieguanyin.
They spent the night in a cave. The next morning, before sunrise from Mahan Mountain, they woke up Aniu and others to pick tea, and then returned to the village carrying a few bags of tea.
When to pick tea and how to fry tea, Ma Hanshan had seen it when he traveled to the tea area in his previous life, so after returning to the village, he started frying tea from memory. After two days of tossing, he finally made several different types of tea.
.
Ma Hanshan felt that he had really found a treasure. He had no idea that the tea he had fiddled with turned out to be so beautiful and the tea aroma was so rich. It was comparable to the tea that cost thousands of yuan per catty in his memory.
Mahanshan named this tea Green Fragrance. He didn't know how popular the green fragrant tea he made would be. He also didn't know that as soon as this tea came out, there would be a whirlwind of panic buying. People in this world would either drink it.
Functional flavor tea, either you drink raw sun-dried tea, and you have never drank fried tea.
