Zou Yan is not a war maniac.
To be more precise, Zou Yan is an astronomical scholar.
Agriculture is his deputy.
He is famous for his Yin-Yang theory and relies on agricultural technology to become an official.
The pure theory of yin and yang was not enough for him to become a high-ranking official.
Zou Yan's favorite thing is to watch the stars.
It was such a person who actually wrote a letter asking for approval from the Qin court. destroy Of course, it is estimated that this document will be sent to Xianyang in half a year.
For now, let’s cut first and then talk.
Where is Bai Hui?
Wearing a pair of large linen beach pants and a light linen vest, he was sitting on a beach chair made of rattan and hemp rope, basking in the sun.
Ten steps away from Baihui is the beach and the sea.
Bai Hui placed a coconut in his hand, with a bamboo tube inserted into the coconut.
Ying Jiang arrived.
As a soldier, Ying Jiang was used to seeing shirtless soldiers in the military camp, not to mention that in this era there was no such perverted defense between men and women.
Ying Jiang placed a coconut on the small table next to Bai Hui's beach chair: "Dahe Jun, we found that the ones that make the sound of water when shaken are sweeter than the ones without the sound of water.
The ones with the sound of water should be longer.
It’s not good enough if it’s ripe and empty.”
"Have you boiled oil?"
Ying Jiang replied: "We are trying.
According to Mr.
Dahe's instructions, it may take some time to get the best oil that is as clear as water and as cold as milk.
This is quite difficult.
What's more, all the utensils here need to be re- Fortunately, a small coal mine was found.
There should be iron ore in the mountain. " Bai Hui nodded and said nothing.
He doesn't need to be busy, as long as people are here.
Ying Jiang said again: "Mr.
Dahe, do you believe that wood will sink in the water?"
"What" Bai Hui jumped up as soon as his body bounced: "What color is it?
Black, purple, red, yellow, or some other color of tree.
Is it fragrant?
Are the core material and leather material two-color?
How thick is it?"
" Bai Hui's reaction did not surprise Ying Jiang at all.
It seemed that there was nothing Bai Hui didn't know about.
Ying Jiang replied calmly: "Purple" "Is it cut, is it hollow?"
"No"
"How thick" "It's very thin, less than a foot."
Hahaha, Bai Hui laughed: "It's very thick.
This kind of tree grows once every five years, and it takes eight hundred years to become useful.
Come on, take me to see it.
Tell them not to waste even a branch on me."
"promise" "My order is that no one is allowed to cut down the red sandalwood privately.
This is a tree sent from heaven."
Bai Hui originally wanted to say that it would be used exclusively by the royal family, but when he thought about it again, it was hard to explain.
Soon, Bai Hui saw this red sandalwood plant.

Speaking of which, this is not really top-notch rosewood, but for those who have seen this kind of wood for the first time, it is already a very rare wood.
A perfumer came forward and said, "Mr.
Dahe, this wood core material has a peculiar fragrance and seems to have a soothing effect."
"Sandalwood and rosewood.
No, this is not it.
Although I have never seen it, this feeling is not the best, but it is still a treasure.
Keep it in your files and record it."
After saying that, Bai Hui turned and left.
Ying Jiang was going to be responsible for processing this kind of precious wood into the warehouse.
He walked a few steps, stopped, and walked to Bai Hui again: "Mr.
Dahe, I have a question, I wonder if I can ask it."
"Ask, if you have anything you can't ask, just ask."
Ying Jiang asked: "Mr.
Dahe was very happy and excited when he first heard about this tree.
After seeing it, why did he react so coldly?"
"Because I have never seen it before, I started thinking about it after I saw it.
It takes eight hundred years for this kind of wood to become useful.
It takes more than a thousand years to be useful.
But in life, let alone a thousand years, there are only a few hundred years."
After listening to Bai Hui's words, Ying Jiang nodded silently: "Mr.
Dahe is absolutely right.
Ying Jiang is going to write a letter to the court.
This tree is a sacred tree and cannot be cut down except for sacrifices.
Those who cut it down and trade it will commit a serious crime."
Bai Hui didn't answer, just nodded silently.
Just as Bai Hui was about to leave again, Ying Jiang asked again: "Mr.
Dahe thinks that the general's letter is not good."
"It's not bad, it's just that even if your petition is recognized and implemented by the court, hundreds of years later, human desires are unlimited, and this kind of wood will eventually disappear from the world.
If you want to blame it, blame it, it is too good.
That's all. , It’s useless to say this, but you should be careful, this is a barbaric place.”
Ying Jiang performed the Qin military salute: "I will understand, I will make arrangements for the guards.
And the scope of the order is limited to not go too deep into this place."
"kindness."
Bai Hui went back to the beach, sat on his beach chair, and squinted at the sea in the distance.
There is no winter here, only hot and hotter days, heavy rains and heavy rainstorms at all times.
In the camp, Da Qin's craftsmen showed their superb wisdom.
The word specific gravity definitely did not exist in this era.
But the craftsmen at work have their own unique methods.
The craftsmen cut a piece of wood one foot long, five inches wide and three inches thick, then nailed it around, used silk and hemp rope to make a hanging ring around it, and hung lead weights under the hanging ring.
The weight is exactly the same as the weight of one hundred standard lead blocks and the same volume of water as the wood.
Next, the lead weights are hung on the wood and placed on the water.
The more lead weights are needed to lift the wood, the worse the wood is.
On the contrary, if you hang rabbit urine bubbles on the hanging ring, it will be difficult to float the more you hang them, which is defined as high-quality wood.
As for the rest of the indicators, except for the fragrance, the rest are ignored for the time being.
Right now, instead of starting to cut down trees, we should make an atlas of the unique trees here and determine the grade of the wood first.

The construction of the wharf has begun.
Only wood that can float on the water is allowed to be used to build the wharf.
However, anything heavier than water must not be cut down casually.
The craftsmen have heard that it takes eight hundred years for the purple tree to become useful.
According to folklore, such trees are not ordinary trees, and this kind of wood will definitely not float on water, so without Ying Jiang's orders, the craftsmen have been deliberately avoiding these sacred trees that have been matured for a long time.
In the evening, Bai Hui returned to the wooden house where he temporarily lived.
Wen Luo came to Bai Hui personally to deliver dinner.
"Wen Luo, aren't you busy?
Just let the servants do these things."
Wen Luo put down the food: "It's okay to do these small things for the Lord.
The Lord seems to be in a bad mood these past two days, but he has something on his mind."
Bai Hui did not answer, but asked: "How are the kings of Han and Wei these two days?"
Wen Luo sat down and said: "There are many interesting things.
If the Lord is interested in hearing them, I can tell them to you."
"Have you eaten?
If not, eat together and then tell me about it."
"I have eaten.
In fact, yesterday, the king of Han and the king of Wei had a fight.
They took action themselves, and then the people of Han and Wei were watching.
This is a good thing for our great Qin.
The people of Han and Wei In my heart, I have begun to respect my king.”
"Tell me about it, it sounds interesting
