Chapter 420 This is the prosperity under her rule
Liulifang is built at the foot of Maocao Mountain in Ahu Town.
Before Qin Chi brought people here to build the Liuli Workshop, this was the poorest place in Lingnan.
There is no sea here, so the villagers cannot make a living by fishing or raising seafood, and the land on which they depend for survival is very barren.
Even the mountains are unreliable.
The reason why Maocao Mountain is named Maocao Mountain is because there are not many decent trees on the mountain, and the mountain is mostly covered with thatch.
Over time, the villagers simply called the mountain Thatch Mountain.
After Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan governed Lingnan, workshops and farms sprang up everywhere.
Many villagers in Ahu Town left to seek opportunities to make money, and gradually, the number of villagers in Ahu Town decreased.
It was not until Qin Chi brought a large number of troops to Ahu Town, requisitioned the local thatched mountain, and built a workshop at the foot of the mountain.
At the beginning, the villagers who remained in the village all thought that Qin Chi might have a mental problem.
What kind of workshop can be built at the foot of thatched mountain?
The thatch on this mountain can neither be eaten nor worn, so what use is it?
However, although the villagers privately thought that he had a mental problem, after he offered a generous price and heard that the workshop would be opened and would recruit workers from the village in the future, everyone sincerely hoped that he could open the workshop.
Many villagers who had been working away from home also returned to their hometown one after another after hearing about the job recruitment in their hometown.
If you can make money to support your family right at your doorstep, naturally people won’t want to travel so far and would rather stay at home and work.
Initially, the villagers of Ahu Town just hoped that the workshop could continue to operate so that the men in the family would not have to go out to find work and could support the family at home.
But they didn't expect that with black smoke coming out of the big chimney every day, the workshop would produce such strange things.
They become the most envied people in the surrounding areas of the city.
In the past, young men in the village often couldn't find wives because the place was too barren and their families were poor. But after the Liulifang was built, young men in the village became popular.
After the Liulifang was built, the lives of local residents were greatly improved.
It can be said that because of this Liulifang, the originally barren land instantly became a wealthy place.
Lu Shili was deeply touched by Liulifang.
When he was governing Nan'an, he was always thinking about how to let the local people learn the farming and breeding practices of Lingnan...
There are many impoverished places like Ahu Town in Nan'an. So, could this method also be used?
While walking with his brother and sister-in-law, he couldn't help but talk about his thoughts.
Jiang Tangtang said, "Of course you can also use this method to boost the local economy, but when using this method, you must adapt it to local conditions."
"Adapt to local conditions?" Lu Shili was a little confused by this unfamiliar term.
Jiang Tangtang explained to him the concept of "adapting to local conditions" in conjunction with Liulifang and asked about his recent situation.
Jiang Tangtang was not as worried about his marriage as Su was, but she also cared about him.
I'm usually busy and can't take care of you, so forget it. But now that I see you, I naturally want to show some concern.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shili avoided his gaze and quickly changed the subject.
This inevitably made Jiang Tangtang feel a little strange.
But they soon arrived at Liulifang, and Jiang Tangtang didn't bother to ask any more questions. Looking at the large chimney that continuously belched black smoke, she couldn't help but frown.
People in this era have no environmental awareness and don't think this is a problem. But Jiang Tangtang, who lived in the modern era and knew the harm that environmental pollution can cause, thinks this is very bad.
But she had no better solution for the time being.
After all, given the current situation, it’s good enough to be able to make glass, so why ask for so much!
She put the environmental issues aside and looked at the interior of the workshop first.
The workers in the workshop divided the work and cooperated with each other, working quickly.
Although it is not as good as modern factories, Jiang Tangtang is very satisfied that such a workshop could be built in this backward era.
She did not offer any random suggestions about the glass workshop, but instead talked to Qin Chi about making mirrors.
"Mirror?" Qin Chi was holding a piece of freshly made colored glass. After hearing Jiang Tangtang's words, he couldn't help but examine it in confusion. He really didn't understand why Jiang Tangtang would say such a transparent thing could be used to make a mirror.
"Yes." Jiang Tangtang had already looked up information before coming and knew how to make mirrors.
However, to make it, just like making glass, you need to prepare materials and then continue to explore and experiment.
She gave Qin Chi the mirror-making method she had read in the book and still asked him to find someone to make it.
Qin Chi was so excited that he repeatedly promised that he would complete the task, then ran away with the prescription given by Jiang Tangtang.
After Jiang Tangtang came out of Liulifang, she didn't rush back. Instead, she decided to take a walk around the area with Lu Shiyan.
The land in Ahu Town is barren and the grain yield is low. Villagers toil in the fields for a year and barely make enough to eat.
After the Liuli Workshop was built, all the young and strong villagers went to work in it. In addition to ordinary workers hired locally, the workshop also had many workers who mastered secret techniques, who were recruited by Qin Chi from all over the country.
Some workers even moved their families here to take care of their families.
With so many people, there are also great demands. Many people from the surrounding areas picked vegetables and other things to sell, and construction teams are building houses in full swing.
Although Jiang Tangtang did not run the workshop single-handedly, she still felt a sense of pride in her heart.
This is the prosperity under her rule.
