"There is a vein of Shuiyu ahead!" The village elder of Shuiyu Village took Zhang Hao to a river valley.
Standing on the hillside, Zhang Hao can clearly see the general situation here. The ground here is covered with fine aqua blue powder, and many villagers are rummaging for some large pieces of jade ore.
There are also some children playing and turning over the pages, very happy. Zhang Hao even saw a few naughty children find a few large pieces of ore, and then smashed them to listen to the sound. The sound of this "water jade" breaking is clear and sweet.
"What's the price of this jade?" Zhang Hao asked casually.
The village elder rolled his eyes and said: "Oh, this thing is worthless. The villagers just pick it up and use it for themselves. Occasionally, if relatives want it, they just come over and pick up a piece. They are just weak and fragile stones.
Although wearing it can prevent you from getting sick and avoid mosquitoes, wearing it for a long time can also cause your skin to become pale and peeling. "
Zhang Hao nodded: "In this case, I feel relieved. This place will be surrounded in the future. If the villagers need it for daily medical treatment, they can come and get it for free. But there is one thing, it can only be used by the villagers themselves and is strictly prohibited from leaking."
"Ah" The village elder was a little dumbfounded. It turns out that the young master is not here to 'settle accounts'? Oops, I should have just said the price would have been higher.
Zhang Hao looked around again and said to Wei Qiang beside him: "Wei Qiang, from now on you will be responsible for this place, specifically responsible for the mining of jade.
??Mining of jade, recruiting craftsmen nearby, etc.
During the mining process, I will send someone over to guide you. "
With that said, Zhang Hao knelt down and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground. Looking at the fine aqua-blue debris in the soil, he sighed: "What a good thing, just wasted like this. Don't waste it during the mining process."
"Ahhow do you choose something like this?" Wei Qiang looked at the debris in the soil with a look of embarrassment on his face. Can he still pick it out with a needle?
Zhang Hao smiled: "Of course you can't do that. I will send someone to guide you. You should be able to get this thing by heating, evaporating, and condensing it."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao picked some large, clear "water jade" on the spot and returned. As for compensation to the village, etc This term does not exist in this era.
However, considering that this place was already his own fiefdom, Zhang Hao still provided compensation, which also included hiring local villagers at high prices to mine and so on.
When he got home, Zhang Hao happened to catch up with Cheng Tao to say goodbye.
"Leaving so soon? We can't wait any longer. With the Zhang family's production capacity, it only takes five days to produce thousands of sets of weapons and armor, and we can build an elite army."
Cheng Tao laughed: "This time, the general and I and a few personal guards will go to the front line. Your Majesty will lead the expedition in person, but military command still requires generals.
The 10,000 elite troops brought by the general will stay and be given command by Liu Jingming, who will replace them with new weapons as soon as possible.
His Majesty also agreed to the idea of ??the Zhang Family Iron Legion. The Weapon Refining Guild has also communicated with them. As long as the Zhang family provides enough weapons, armor and other embryos, they will complete the formation for the weapons and armor as soon as possible.
¡°Also, you take this land deed. "
Zhang Hao looked at the title deed handed over by Cheng Tao and was a little surprised. What is this?
"This is a spiritual stone vein located in the east of Ninghe County. It is a small vein. The country really cannot afford the money now. After discussion with His Majesty, Lord Liu Jingming, and the general, they decided to hand over this vein to the Zhang family.
This vein has just been discovered and has not yet been mined. The specific situation is not known. For the time being, it can only be determined to be a small vein. "
Zhang Hao was really shocked and surprised. But after thinking about it, Zhang Hao suddenly pushed back the land deed: "We can't have this thing. Please convey to the general and His Majesty that the Zhang family has received enough and they don't dare to expect more.
Now that the country is facing a crisis, the Zhang family should do everything they can to support the country.
The only extravagant hope of the Zhang family is to go to the imperial capital to celebrate after victory. "
Cheng Tao was a little surprised, and after talking for a while, Zhang Hao still didn¡¯t want it. In the end, I had to put away the land deed and bid farewell to the Zhang family with admiration.
Zhang Hao sighed as he looked at Cheng Tao's figure flying away quickly.
"That's a vein of spirit stone, why not?" Feng Zhiling didn't know when he appeared next to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao smiled: "I can't afford it! The development of the Zhang family is already somewhat beyond its capabilities. If we want another spiritual stone mine, we are greedy and may be in danger. This is good now, everything is under control. "
"Tsk"A vein of spirit stone" Feng Zhiling muttered again heartbroken.
Until Cheng Tao¡¯s figure completely disappeared, Zhang Hao turned around and headed to the smelting base, where he found Huang Mingshan and others.
The ¡®correct formula¡¯ of gunpowder has been released, and Zhou Xueyao doesn¡¯t want to get involved. She would rather continue studying medicine. Therefore, now Zhang Hao can only find Huang Mingshan and others.
The purification, crushing, and mixing of dragon blood stone, coke, and jade all require continued improvement by Huang Mingshan and others.
In just one night, Huang Mingshan solved almost all the minor problems. Dragon bloodstone is purified through solution and precipitation. Water jade still maintains the characteristics of sulfur. Pure crystal particles can be obtained by heating and condensation in a sealed environment.
Only the coke cannot be processed well temporarily, but it is enough for use.
When Zhang Hao found Huang Mingshan the next morning, Huang Mingshan wasmaking cannonballs!
In fact, when ordinary black powder was obtained, Zhang Hao had discussed it with Huang Mingshan and others; now that excellent new gunpowder was available, Huang Mingshan was so excited that he stayed up all night.
¡°A barrel about one meter long, with an outer diameter of thirty centimeters and an inner diameter of ten centimeters already exists, and what Huang Mingshan is building is a very ¡®normal¡¯ shape - spherical.
Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know much about artillery shells, etc. He could only say that he had a vague impression, which he got from military websites. Today's conditions are very simple, and Zhang Hao can't provide much guidance. Most of the problems still require Huang Mingshan and others to figure out their own solutions.
Zhang Hao watched for a while, specially asked Huang Mingshan and others to pay attention to safety, and left in a hurry.
Zhang Hao is more concerned about weapons and armors now. The first batch of two hundred sets of weapons and armors for trial production have been produced. Zhang Hao will escort these to the Weapon Refining Guild. By the way, there is something that needs to be discussed with the city lord Liu Jingming.
¡¡¡¡
And when Zhang Hao set out, he received a grand welcome at the border of Qixia Country.
The emperor of the Qixia Kingdom really went on a personal expedition and arrived at the border.
When the emperor appeared in a flying boat, the already sluggish morale exploded instantly, and cheers filled the mountains and plains.
The emperor stepped out of the flying boat, stood in the sky, and shouted loudly: "From today on, I will advance and retreat together with all the soldiers.
The Kingdom of Jinyang betrayed its trust, detained the second prince, blocked our trade routes and diplomatic relations, killed my envoys, attacked Xinglin Hall, and launched an army to conquer!
Soldiers, what do you think we should do? "
"We are irreconcilable!" A voice like the waves roared like the waves. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
