Chapter 1571 Please call me Mr. An (33)
The changes in the An family have nothing to do with Anne.
She is slowly expanding her education territory, and her students are growing rapidly at a geometric growth rate.
While Annie was teaching, she did not forget to continue looking for new sources of wealth for the village.
When she took her children to the wild practice, Annie accidentally discovered that there was a quartz mine in a village.
It is not the kind of high-end quartz sand that can temper high-end crystals, but very ordinary quartz sand.
It's nothing, because ordinary quartz sand can play a huge role - making glass!
Well, glass, the old tricks used in time travel, whether they are worn by men or women, as long as they go to ancient times, no one would not have thought of this trick.
If quartz mines were not discovered, Anne might not have used this old method.
But since she has the conditions, wouldn’t it be a waste if she doesn’t take advantage of the natural advantages of “time traveling women”?
After doing so many tasks, Anne's brain has long become a smart computer with extensive knowledge and countless stocks.
And the vast amount of knowledge in her mind happened to have a detailed industrial process for making glass.
Anne sorted out a little, removed the modern craftsmanship, but replaced it with the craftsmanship of this era.
Afterwards, Anne experimented several times, repeatedly modified the production process, and finally got the best version.
She took the finished product and went to meet several heads of the quartz mine.
With her leadership and promotion, several villages formed a cooperative alliance, and we all contributed people and money to make glass.
The village without quartz mines, seeing that the place was busy, could be sold at a sky-high price at the foot of the mountain and transported it out of the mountain in boxes, and then exchanged for a pile of gold and silver, I was very jealous.
Oh my God, this is the real treasure pot.
Compared with this glass, the salt well in my house is nothing.
The other leaders couldn't sit still and ran to Anne's side to test the words, including Amon.
There was no way, Mengzhai had no quartz mine, so Ameng could only watch "his" Mr. An, giving advice for other villages, and then letting those leaders make money back.
Anne will not forget these people. She can gain a foothold in Southwest State and then achieve her goals, and she still needs the help of these people.
With the request from the leader, Annie began to inspect various villages.
Not to mention, although these villages are located in remote areas and have primitive living conditions, they really have a lot of resources.
Annie also discovered gold mines, copper mines, etc., but she did not make any statement.
Because she knew that this was a taboo thing.
The imperial court could allow the leaders to become kings and dominate in remote and deep mountains, because these places, in those places, are all wilderness places.
But once news came out that gold, silver, copper and iron were buried under the surface of these wild places.
Haha, just watch it. No matter how the court takes action, those clans and clans will not let go easily.
At that time, nobles will forcibly expel the heads and village residents, and then occupy the mines!
The villagers will not only not become rich by discovering treasure mines, but will instead end up being homeless and even losing their lives.
Therefore, Anne will never get involved in those precious metal deposits, let alone make people discover them.
Fortunately, in addition to gold and silver mines, these villages also have other mineral deposits.
For example, coal mines!
At that time, most of the people burned charcoal and coal, but it had not yet become popular.
It's OK, Anne can help.
She referred to the practices of the people in the 1970s and 1980s, grind the coal blocks into ingredients, mixed with mud and sand, made coal cakes, and then sent them to the city for sale.
Coal cakes are not as good as charcoal, and they will have thick smoke, but they will be resistant to burning than firewood.
Although the price is more expensive than firewood, it is smaller in size and easier to store.
Anne designed a complete set of sales models, and those who are strict in their duties.
Gradually, coal cakes opened up sales in the city and began to radiate to the outside world.
Although the coal cake business is not as profitable as glass, the threshold is low and there is no need to take any risks.
For example, if you are not careful during transportation, you will throw away all your things.
Not to mention making money, it would be great to be able to keep the original!
Coal cakes are much more despicable, and even if they are broken, they can still be sold for money.
Moreover, coal cakes have a lot of audiences, and can flow slowly and will continue to bring wealth to the people.
After making coal cakes, Anne improved the loom and guided the people to open a textile workshop.
The tools have been improved and professional processing workshops have been provided, so the number of textiles has been increased.
In the past, the weaving cloth in the village was self-sufficient. If there was a slight surplus, it was used to exchange money and salt in the city.
Nowadays, textiles have formed a scale and become an industry, and the economic benefits brought by them are very considerable.
If it weren't for the mountains deep in the village and the transportation was inconvenient, they would have made greater profits.
Even so, the leaders drove the villagers to carry the horse's backs and transported boxes of goods to the county town, prefecture, and even other places like flowing water.
Gradually, the village's woven fabric became famous and became a business card for the local area.
The profits made by the leaders are so rich that they can wake up laughing when they fall asleep.
Unfortunately, their village is too remote. If the transportation is more convenient, they can sell their products (glass, coal cakes, woven fabrics) to the state capital and all over the world.
Before we knew it, the leaders no longer had that dependence on the mountains, but began to think of moving away.
Anne had known that such a change would be long ago.
People all want to live a good life.
If you want the mountaineering people to go down the mountain, it will definitely not work if you force the order, but if you provide them with a better life, they will definitely go down the mountain voluntarily.
"Sir, some of them want to go to Wanhu Town to have a look!"
On this day, Amon secretly found Anne and whispered.
"Wanhu Town?"
Anne raised an eyebrow.
She knows this place.
The so-called Wanhu Town is a town formed by four or five villages that were deceived by the governor Yuan and gathered down the mountain.
Because they are all migrated from abroad, the village residents have about 10,000 households, so they are called "Wanhu Town".
Although Governor Yuan used means to deceive those leaders, he was still scheming and had not turned against the enemy before he achieved his goal.
Over the past year, Wanhu Town has been living a good life.
The fields are rare fertile and fertile fields. When harvesting in autumn, they are full of food.
Governor Yuan also deliberately reduced the taxes for three years. Although ordinary village residents still had to pay some of the food they had captured to the heads, they did not have to suffer the second wave of exploitation.
Therefore, the life of the village people is pretty good.
On the mountain, as several trade routes opened by Anne helped to get on track, several of the leaders began to think about whether to go down the mountain.
But they were afraid that the policies at the foot of the mountain would change day by day, and at that time, it would be too late to regret it.
