Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 19 The Big Iron Mine

Zhang Han sent Ding from his village to search around, and found no sign of bandits for dozens of miles nearby, and the bandits probably went back.

Besides, when Chai Jin saw that the crisis in Haijiazhuang had been resolved, he came to his sister and brother-in-law, and said: "Brother-in-law, sister, the bandits have retreated, we have won a big victory, and the bandits will not come to harm again in a short time, I should go back too Yes, there are too many things going on in the village."

Zhang Han said: "I know you are busy with things, so it's not easy to keep you. It's just that it's hard to come here, why don't you stay for a few more days."

Chai Jin said: "Sixty or seventy miles away, Kuaima will arrive in an hour, so we can't stay long. But I can talk to my brother-in-law about some business. If my brother-in-law is interested, I can cooperate."

"Oh, what business are you talking about?" Zhang Han asked.

"Fishmeal, the small sea fish caught in your village every year are inedible and useless if thrown away. You process all kinds of small miscellaneous fish and discarded fish heads into powder and sell them to me," Chai Jin said.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "It's good, but we don't have the equipment to process fishmeal. If you provide the equipment, we can fish and process it, how about it?"

"It's done. That's it. I'll go back and study the equipment. This time, get me [-] catties of good shrimp skins and dried fish. Get me [-] catties of defective shrimp skins." Chai Jin said.

Zhang Han said: "No problem, I will arrange a carriage to pack it for you in a while. You can eat good shrimp skins and good dried fish. You can't eat inferior shrimp skins."

"Defective shrimp skins are also useful, and I will buy them in large quantities in the future. Calculate how much it is, and I will settle it for you."

Zhang Han said that he didn’t need money, and Chai Jin had to give it to him. In the end, he couldn’t screw Chai Jin, so he took the money for good shrimp skin and dried fish.

Zhang Han said again: "Follow me to the mountain in the north of the village."

Chai Jin said, "What do you want to go to the back mountain?"

"You will know when you go, there are wolf worms in the back mountain, bring a few confidant brothers." Zhang Han arranged.

Chai Jin brought Wu Song, Zhang Han took two cousins, and a group of five hurried to the back mountain.There are no high mountains near Haijiazhuang. The so-called back mountain is six or seven miles away from the village, and it can only be regarded as a big mound. Sweet and delicious golden shredded jujube, but this year is not good, and few bold people dare to pick the fruit.

After walking two or three miles along the path, a pile of red rocks appeared ahead, occupying half of the hill.

Ding, the system prompts: Temporary mission, take down the iron ore, use it as a raw material base, and speed up development.If the task is successful, [-] worship points will be rewarded; if the task fails, there will be no penalty.

Zhang Han picked up two stones and tapped them in his hands, saying: "This is iron ore. The blacksmiths in the village once secretly came here to pick up stones and make iron. But no one is capable of eating such a large iron ore. I guess the exposed part is only a small part, and the inside is the big part. Brother, if you have the ability, take this piece of iron ore and mine it."

Chai Jin said: "Brother-in-law, this is a huge fortune, why did you give it to me for no reason?"

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Although this iron mine is a huge wealth, you must have the ability to get it. Opening mines and digging mountains requires the approval of the magistrate. Our Haijiazhuang must not be able to get the approval, even if we get the approval. I can't keep such a large wealth, it may bring disaster, so it's better to give it to you as a favor. According to your character, Chaijiazhuang ate meat, how can our Haijiazhuang drink some soup, right? ?”

"Okay, that's it. Let's talk about the distribution plan when the time comes. Brothers will settle accounts clearly, and you won't suffer. I will send people to investigate the mine in a month or half a month sooner." Chai Jin also Well, Zhang Han is also good, he is a layman to mining, and to estimate the output of the mine needs exploration.

"Okay, it's a deal." Zhang Han said.

There is no danger around the iron mine, so it is necessary to build a wall to protect it, but I can't think about that much now, and wait until the iron mine is taken down.

Chai Jin led the cavalry team back, bringing with him ten horse-drawn carts of dried fish and shrimp skins. The smell was so strong that one could tell from a distance of more than a hundred meters that the carts were pulling dried fish and shrimp skins.Good dried dried shrimp skins are handed over to Lao Liang for management, which is used to improve the lives of the workers when they are working.

The defective shrimp skins are handed over to the pig farm. Now the pig farm has [-] back-up pigs, and production is expected to start next year.The function of shrimp skin is to supplement calcium and protein.However, the use of shrimp skins is very particular. First, the dried shrimp skins are very dry, and then they are fried in a large pot. When they are fragrant and crispy, they are taken out and crushed with a stone grinder to be very fine, which is considered qualified.

The amount of shrimp powder fed to pigs is very small, and adding about two catties to one hundred catties of grain is enough. It is rich in nutrients, and the pigs grow fast and grow well.

Fifty cavalrymen stood awe-inspiringly at the Chaijiazhuang school grounds. Although only 13 of them participated in the battle, the level of the entire team was no longer the same. Only after seeing blood and fighting can they be regarded as real growth.

Chai Jin said: "In this battle, there were hundreds of bandits who defeated the mountain dragon. Our thirteen cavalry alone directly wiped out 82 people. The reward will be calculated as one tael of silver for each bandit. The bonus will be awarded below."

Wu Song had eight taels, Chai Yong had five taels, and the others had three taels each.This is real money in cash.The others who didn't go to guard were envious.

Chai Meng said: "The owner will take us there next time, such a good thing can't just let them go."

Chai Jin said: "Good thing? You are thinking wrong, you think the money is so good because of the strong wind. Just ask Chai Yong, a dozen of us attacked hundreds of bandits, it can only be said that we were lucky. The thieves fled in embarrassment. Of course, combat missions will be assigned in turn."

"Yes, Chai Meng understands."

"The biggest achievement this time is not defeating the bandits, but verifying that our prairie horses can charge into battle. They also have good speed and endurance. You can rest assured to train, and don't worry about the prairie horses getting used to it." Chai Jin said .

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Fifty cavalrymen were divided into two teams, each led by Chai Yong and Chai Meng, patrolling back and forth between the east and west villages.

East Village School and West Village School have been planned.Choose a site in a good location in the village and build more than 50 houses.After completion, each school can accommodate [-] students, allowing all school-age children in the village to go to school.However, the construction of the school is slow work and is expected to be completed in March next year.At present, the East Village School has fifty students, and the West Village School has just been established, with forty children.

West Village School, the children in the classroom are learning characters, the teacher writes one on a blank paper, and the children read one.The teaching aids are simple and there is not even a blackboard.But it can't delay the students' enthusiasm for learning, tuition is free, and meals are provided at noon.This is a great thing.

It was noon, and it was time to eat.The gentleman put down the book and said: "After school, everyone line up to wash their hands, and then go to the dining hall to eat."

"Thank you, sir," said the children, standing to attention.

　Don't miss it when you pass by, and friends who have tickets support it.
