In the periphery of quartz mines, often associated with asbestos, asbestos is a kind of silk flocculent silicate, fireproof, high temperature resistance, Yang Yan let people weave asbestos into gloves, these transparent beads, is to take the softened glass to pinch out of the glass ball, while it has not cooled down, puncture with a steel needle, leaving holes, can be strung together, made into a glass bracelet or glass necklace.
"Hold" Yang Yan grabbed a handful of glass balls and handed them over.
"Thank you, General" Cui Ling happily took it, and after a while, it was divided by several women.
"It seems that there are only pearls in such a round bead."
"How can pearls be so transparent, this thing is extremely precious, if I can wear a pair of glass necklaces, I have no regrets in this life" "We beg the general, the general seems to be in a good mood today" The female guards talked a lot, glancing at Yang Yan with burning eyes from time to time.
Xun Hua gave Xiao Qiaoniang a look, and Xiao Qiaoniang smiled knowingly: "Lang Jun, the sisters like it very much, can you make a pair of glass necklaces for each of the sisters?"
"It's not a shame to wear this thing, no" Yang Yan vetoed it.
"Ahh The female guards showed disbelief.
Xiao Qiaoniang also didn't follow: "Lang Jun, although the glass is precious, Lang Jun doesn't need to be so stingy."
Yang Yan patiently explained: "You just said the opposite, the glass is the least valuable, I can tell you clearly, under your feet, there are three hundred and eighty quartz veins, you think about how much glass I am not stingy, but what is not good to wear, why wear the lowest glass beads in the future to mine the diamond, you can polish the crystal into beads, then create a crystal necklace for each of you, is it better than glass." “ In the previous life, glass beads were waste produced by the factory, and the value was calculated in points, Yang Yan didn't want to fool his own people with glass beads, these beads, he planned to take them to Jiankang to slaughter fat sheep.
As for the crystal beads, it is a pie completely, mining the diamond is only the first step, and the first problem next is how to polish the diamond.
Tancheng is the main production area of China's primary diamond, produced in the kimberlite tube, since the seventies of the last century in the past 20 years, with Tancheng as the center, north to Linyi, south to Suqian, Jiangsu within the range of 100 kilometers, a total of 100 carats of single mass of about six diamonds, the largest up to 158 carats, can be called the king of Chinese diamonds.
Among them, Chenbu Village, Shadun Town, Tancheng County, is the main diamond producing area, located in the mountainous area of about 50 miles north of Tancheng at that time, but Yang Yan has not been excavated so far, one is to find and identify kimberlite takes time, but also to luck, how can he have the time to drill the mountain, and secondly, the hardness of the diamond is 10, polishing diamonds, can only rely on diamond powder to grind a little bit of water grinding kung fu, I don't know the year of the monkey Ma Yue can grind out a diamond tool for cutting crystal, Yang Yan really has no power to mine diamonds.
"The concubines listen to Lang Jun" Xiao Qiaoniang probably heard Yang Yan's words insincerely, and pursed her lips.
"Lord Lang, please see" After a while, the craftsmen returned with a mirror, which was very simple to make, applying a mixture of tin and mercury to one side of the glass.
"Well, that's good" Yang Yan looks left and right in the mirror, it is very clear, and the characters are almost not deformed, which gives him a feeling of returning to modern times.
"Cui family lady, take a look" Yang Yan found that Cui Ling was looking at him curiously, so he smiled and handed the mirror over.
Cui Ling looked at the mirror suspiciously, and was stunned, is this herself After all, no matter how smooth the polishing of the copper mirror is, the light transmittance and brightness are far inferior to the glass mirror, even if the outline is illuminated, but the complexion cannot be illuminated, Cui Ling looked at herself in the mirror, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were like stars, her cherry mouth was small, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her skin was clean, and her cheeks were dyed with a faint blush.
For the first time, she realized that she was so beautiful.
It's just that when she quietly pulled up a strand of hair covering her cheeks, a hideous dark red scar appeared, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Ah Ling, let me see" At this time, Qiao Niang put her neck behind Cui Ling, and Cui Ling saw that there was suddenly an extra face in the mirror, and she screamed in fright, and as soon as she let go of her hand, she snapped and broke on the mirror.
"This General" Cui Ling came back to her senses and looked at Yang Yan uneasily.
Yang Yan was speechless, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, there are as many mirrors as there are, and in the future, every family will be equipped with a mirror." ” After spending another three days in the mine, the craftsmen stayed behind to continue mining, while Yang Yan returned to Tancheng with hundreds of mirrors and thousands of glass beads, a considerable part of which were near-height full-length mirrors, and he believed that if he took the mirrors to Jiankang, he would be able to sell them for a good price.
"General, a letter came yesterday that Zu Ti had passed away a month ago."
As soon as Yang Yan entered the palace of the county government, Cui Wan stepped forward and told him of Zu Li's death.
Yang Yan was stunned, and his mood was quite complicated.
From the perspective of modern people, he does not have a high evaluation of Zu Ti, but everything must be viewed objectively, Zu Ti is not a traverser, it is not easy to do this level, at least Henan is nominally back to the embrace of the court, and at the same time, he also has some regrets in his heart for being stingy with Zu Ti, but this does not mean that Yang Yan has remorse for failing to save Zu Ti.
He never thought that if he saved Zu Li's life, Zu Ti would serve himself, at that time, people were light on life and death, and the family was important, not to mention that Zu Ti was also a hero, saved Zu Ti, but it was a hot potato, Zu Ti's control over people's hearts was far beyond Xi Jian, Zu Ti did not die, and the hearts of the people in Yuzhou would be a big trouble in the future.
People can't be upright all their lives, and there will always be some things that will be out of the consideration of interests.
Cui Wan sighed and said: "Zu Ti stabilized the situation in Huaixi for the court, and made the Jiankang barrier thousands of miles deep, which is really a great contribution, but the court only posthumously presented the general of the chariot cavalry, and there is no lord or lord, which is really cold." “ Yang Yan smiled coldly: "According to the law, there is a lord to have a lord, the ancestor has no lord, and it is said that it is the past if you don't give a nickname, but how can people in the world be so foolish, Sima has a big river and natural danger in hand, and he thinks he has peace of mind, why should he treat Huaibei Zhuxiong as a person and send a chariot general, Zu should be grateful and cry, by the way, whether the person who takes over the ancestor is Zu Yue" Cui Wan nodded and said: "The court is about to serve the ancestor of Pingxi, the assassin of Yuzhou, and take over the Zu Xiao people, but the old man is not optimistic about this person, Zu Yue is greedy for good money, and his heart is far less than that of his brother, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, and the general will let Chen Chuan return to Pengpi, and he will be Zu Yue's fierce enemy." “ Yang Yan muttered: "My intention to let Chen Chuan return to Pengpi, in addition to containing the ancestral covenant, is because the ancestral covenant is incompetent, he will not be able to defend the city, and Chen Chuan has betrayed Shile, if the army goes south, there is no other way but to fight to the death, then I will lead the army to help, and do not teach Henan to fall into the hands of thieves." “ "General Gao Yi" Cui Wan was in awe and bowed his hand.
In fact, Cui Wan did not agree with some of Yang Yan's governance measures, such as Yang Yan's idea of building a large enterprise, and he raised the question of whether he would compete with the people for profit.
Yang Yan replied to him: After the fall of the Han Dynasty as an example, the root cause is the collapse of taxes, the court can not collect money, can not raise soldiers, subject to the foreign feudal power, chaotic ministers and thieves rise, the ministers cover the sky with one hand, to the point of being out of control, and state-owned enterprises can open up a stable source of wealth for the court, even if there is a problem with taxes in the future, the court will not be cut off from money and food, and the life is in the hands of people.
As for the problem of competing for profits with the people, I am afraid that Cui Gong has misunderstood, the salt and iron official sale in the Han Dynasty is to contract the salt and iron to the relatives of the vassal kings, and even the relatives of the ministers, and the court collects taxes accordingly, which is essentially a tax, and the state-owned enterprises are operated by themselves, and the money earned goes to the court, which is different from the Huangzhuang, the income of the Huangzhuang belongs to the private money, and the profits of the state-owned enterprises belong to the public treasury, of course, in addition to mineral resources, most of the projects will not be forbidden by the court from private operation, the capable make money, and the incompetent will go out of business, and that's it.
In fact, Yang Yan still can't tell Cui that state-owned enterprises are not only financial resources, but also basic disks, and anyone who is in power must have their own basic plates, and what is Yang Yan's basic plates It is impossible for the Shi clan, they can only cooperate partially, the Shu clan is not as good as the Shi clan, the Shi clan at least acts according to the rules that are set, and usually does not lift the table, but the Shu clan is different, just look at Song Qi Liang Chen, the Shu clan is on top, kill yourself, kill the head of the killing, the power is internal friction, and the clan is ruined, so the basic plate chosen by Yang Yan is a state-owned enterprise.
Although there are many problems in state-owned enterprises, the advantages are also obvious, not only because they have a large number of people, but also have a certain degree of organization, and the interests are closely shared, the key is the degree of organization, and hundreds of thousands of organized people are worth millions of ordinary people.
Just like the United States, the basic plate of the United States is not the 80 million people who are numerous, but the tens of millions of employees at the beginning of the Chinese character and below, as long as the state-owned enterprises do not collapse, they want money and money, and they want people, no matter how big the storm is, they can overcome it.
Although in the Jin Dynasty, the difficulty of building state-owned enterprises will be much greater than that of modern times, but history has long proved that after the setback of the Han and Tang dynasties, the rulers of later generations learned a lesson, gradually conservative, closed, and finally inevitably moved towards involution, with the purpose of fooling the people and confusing the people, seeking stability in everything, and the whole society is like a pool of stagnant water, also like a huge cage, through the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, gradually declining and decaying.
The so-called change of dynasty is just that the original gang of people are angry and resentful, and the people are not able to make a living, so they can't do it anymore, so they will change another batch, which is essentially a trick of handing over right hand, and with state-owned enterprises, on the one hand, open source to the court, with a stable income, the burden of the people can be appropriately reduced, so that people can at least survive, and on the other hand, it can play an industrialization-oriented role.
Of course, Yang Yan is not a saint, in the future, the royal family will also extract a small part of the profits from the income of state-owned enterprises to maintain daily expenses, for state-owned enterprises, he is still more confident, with the increase in population and slow development, but how to avoid state-owned enterprises from evolving into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, still need a lot of institutional supporting construction, but there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, Yang Yan no matter what, must go out of a new way.
And Cui Wan can't fully understand state-owned enterprises, but it doesn't prevent him from appreciating Yang Yan's character, at least Yang Yan never talks in the vernacular, and often gives full trust to his subordinates
