It must be known that after all, the temptation is still quite big, Luo Yunxiao gave the grain produced per mu every year, and the participants can get 7 stones, and Duxiu Mountain will recycle it with 1.5 taels of silver per stone. With such a big benefit, it is natural that someone will sharpen their heads and join in!

However, there are people who sharpen their heads and want to join in; But there are still people who are beaten to death and refuse to participate. Among them is the largest household in Fushan Town, Lu Bin's father Lu Zongguang. His family has nearly 40,000 acres of paddy fields, and can harvest about 480,000 stone of grain a year, which is the largest grain king in Jinyang County, how can he cooperate with you? Even if you say that you spit lotus flowers in your mouth and the sky is falling, he doesn't believe in this evil. What's more, his son Lu Bin folded in Duxiushan's hands again and again, so it is impossible for him to cooperate with you. There are also 6 or 7 other big agricultural households, who are usually close to Lu Zongguang, so they all join him in the same stream.

For those who don't cooperate, Luo Yunxiao has already thought of a way to deal with them, but now the time has not come, so he will endure it for the time being, and when the time is ripe, then they will not be able to eat and there will be no way to go around.

In addition to the situation in agriculture, Luo Yunxiao has already mastered the situation, and has also learned a lot of relevant information in other fields. The business of Jinyang County is still relatively developed, and the population engaged in business has reached more than 20,000 people. No wonder he was put on the post of Jinyang County, it turned out that the big men of these state capitals had already discovered that this was a cornucopia.

In Luo Yunxiao's opinion, this is the way to do things wherever he goes, and Jinyang County is the location of his base camp, so the building near the water will get the moon first! He was relieved when he thought about it. So I made up my mind to make this Jinyang County the most perfect paradise on earth in Jiaozhou County and even in the whole world, so that those who are not good will eventually envy, envy and hate!

After having a set goal, Luo Yunxiao's confidence began to skyrocket. He was not only thinking that although there are more than 80,000 people engaged in agricultural production and more than 20,000 people in business in Jinyang County, after all, these people account for only one-fifth of the county's total population. Even if the old people, children, people in the government, people engaged in other professions, and garrison guards, government officials, etc., are all removed, at least more than 200,000 people are still in a state of idleness and idleness. If we want to make use of this part of the population and give them a reasonable living environment, how should we deal with it?

Three words flashed in Luo Yunxiao's mind: open a factory! Only by opening a few large factories can it be possible to accommodate such a large number of idle people. It is indeed a good thing to be able to stabilize the order of society and obtain huge benefits from it!

But what kind of factory should be opened? After a long period of careful consideration, Luo Yunxiao finally thought of two things that were worth trying. One is to make paper, and the other is to make soap. For the time being, these two popular commodities will be made first, and then sold to the entire Eastern Jin Kingdom, there will definitely be unimaginable harvests.

Soap and paper are very widely used supplies, and it is needless to say that paper is an indispensable item in the study of the majority of literati and artists. The soap has many advantages, and even in the modern 21st century, there are so many detergents emerging in an endless stream to occupy the market, but there are still people who like to use soap to wash their faces and bath, which shows that this soap still has a certain value.

Even in modern society, the paper industry is an important indicator of a country's productivity. Internationally, paper is the third largest industry after telecommunications and steel, and its importance can be imagined.

One of the main raw materials for papermaking is wood. It takes about 10 10-year-old trees to make a blank meal, and during this period, there has not been large-scale logging, and pristine forests can be seen everywhere, especially in Jiaozhou County. Therefore, the material for making paper can be said to be inexhaustible.

In addition, the main ingredient of that soap is a combination of fatty acids, oils and fats (vegetable oil or animal oil), and soap base. When Luo Yunxiao was in college, he once made 2 pieces of soap with a girl who had a good impression of each other, and kept each other's piece as a testimony of love. So in his memory, he still has a certain impression of the process of making soap.

Luo Yunxiao is still sure about making soap. As long as there are ready-made materials, it can be easily made. When he had an idea, he took action. Anyway, the materials for papermaking are everywhere, and they can be done anytime and anywhere, so there is no hurry. The key is the material of the soap, which takes some time to find.

Luo Yunxiao immediately found Xu Jiayun's children's shoes from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. asked her if there was a kind of honey locust tree near here, Xu Duniang thought about it, and finally gave Luo Yunxiao an answer that there was no such tree. However, she then came back to another peak. She hurriedly told Luo Yunxiao that in Fushan Town, there was an old man who was hunting, and it was said that he knew many, many tree species, so he might as well go to him and ask, maybe there would be an answer.

Luo Yunxiao is still very optimistic about the prospects of this soap industry. He knew that soap should have come to China in a relatively modern period and belonged to a modern industry. And its prototype appeared in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, people mashed and ground natural honey locusts, added spices and other substances to make orange-sized spheres, which were specially used for washing the face and bathing the body, commonly known as "soap balls". Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty also recorded the manufacturing method of "soap ball" in his "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Honey locust grows in the high mountains, the tree is tall, the leaves are like sandalwood and honey locust leaves, it blooms in May and June, bears three or four inches of pods, is thick and fleshy, there are several sunspots in it, it is as big as a finger, it is not round, there are white kernels, and it is edible." In October, the pods are picked, boiled and mashed, and the white flour and incense are used as pills, and the body is bathed, and the dirt is removed and greasy, which is better than the honey locust. ”

Luo Yunxiao hadn't read Mr. Li Shizhen's introduction, but he only knew one and didn't know the other, so he immediately made a rash mistake. As for what kind of mistake it was? Don't worry, let me take my time and explain it to you later!

In such a distant ancient time, some raw materials were difficult to make without a certain production environment and production equipment. Substances such as fatty acids, soaps, etc., are chemical components that need to be produced after electrolysis. For this era, it is still difficult to make a formation. So Luo Yunxiao thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a substitute, that is, the soap horn, that is, the soap clip that grows on the honey locust tree, which is an inevitable thing for making soap.
