Chapter 621: Ferrosilicon Ore (first update, asking for diamonds)
After driving for an hour, Luo Zhang finally arrived at a mine fifty miles away from Luoyang. The situation here was the same as in the mines he had seen before. There were many people holding whips and urging the miners.
They were mining. Seeing the faces of this group of people, Luo Zhang was too lazy to speak. He just waved his hand and the Eighteenth Cavalry rushed out.
The screams continued for a while, but stopped after a while. When Shibaqi returned to Luo Zhang, there were wailing people lying on the ground.
The Eighteen Riders did not kill them, but they disabled their martial arts. Even if these people recovered, they could only become ordinary people and could no longer practice martial arts. It was even impossible to carry heavy objects.
This is already considered merciful, otherwise in this wilderness, if they are killed, they will be killed. Who can find fault with them?
There was also a manager here. After seeing his own people being beaten by a group of inexplicable people, he naturally stood up and scolded: "Who are you? You actually came to the Changsun family's mine to cause trouble. Don't you want to live?"
?"
It was still the same rhetoric that made Luo Zhang's ears go numb. Luo Zhang had a new understanding of Changsun Wuji's shamelessness. He actually dared to do this to the mine that was given to him. Isn't this a plunder?
He saved him, but he didn't want to repay him with gratitude. He actually repaid him with kindness. If he had known better, he wouldn't have given his majesty face and just ignored him. This is really something a good person can't do.
"Those who know the truth should get out of here immediately and tell Changsun Wuji that if he dares to act recklessly again, the labor and management will not care about His Majesty's face. I will directly lead people to burn down his Changsun's mansion, just like his mansion!" Luo Zhang said domineeringly.
"You...you are...Luo Zhang?" The steward swallowed and stammered.
"If you know better, get out of here. If you say another word, don't leave!" Luo Zhang stared at the steward and said indifferently.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving right away. Thank you, sir, for not killing me. Thank you, sir!" The steward stumbled away. As for those subordinates, he didn't have the energy to care about them. It would be good if he could save his own life.
Seeing that the chief steward had left, Luo Zhang didn't pay attention, but got off his horse and headed towards the mine.
Along the way, seeing those skinny miners, Luo Zhang shook his head helplessly. No matter where he was, or in the past dynasties, there was no shortage of oppression. He was also one of the oppressors, but now that he had seen it, he would naturally not do it again.
, when all the mines are recovered, Luo Zhang plans to take care of them.
The mine cannot be opened like this. If it is opened like this, not only will the output be low, but his grandmother will scold him to death and call him a vampire. He doesn't want to make her angry.
Without thinking about the miners, Luo Zhang held a torch and entered the mine. He wanted to take a closer look at what was different about this mine. He didn't know why the Great Elder said the mine here was.
After going deep into the mine, Luo Zhang carefully looked at the place where the miners were digging. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He took a chisel and cut off a piece and brought it closer for inspection. There was a hint of curvature in the corners of his mouth. It was as he had guessed.
Likewise, the ore here is actually one of the ones he thought.
The ore in Luo Zhang's hand is called ferrosilicon, also known as silica. The main purpose of this thing is as an auxiliary material in steelmaking. With it, steel can be made, and steel is better than iron.
Things, the weapons made are harder.
Luo Zhang did not expect to find ferrosilicon here.
If this thing is obtained by the Changsun family, they will definitely discover the secret after a period of time, and the Changsun family will make a lot of money by then.
But now this place belongs to him. Even if Changsun Wuji discovers the strangeness and wants to take the mine away, Luo Zhang will not agree. He will not hand over such a treasure land at any cost.
After walking out of the mine, Luo Zhang looked around. The stewards who were wailing just now had long since disappeared. Only the Eighteen Riders stood at the entrance of the mine, guarding the place. As for the miners, none of them ran away.
A man squatted on the ground with a look of fear and helplessness.
Seeing the looks in these people's eyes, Luo Zhang shook his head slightly and said: "Go and call Wu Shaobin, and then go and call Zhao Tianhu!"
"Yes, head of the family!" Luo Ba and Luo Jiu, among the eighteen riders, got on their horses and left.
Luo Zhang did not leave, but walked around the entire mine. Since this place is extremely important, it cannot be exposed like this. Luo Zhang thought about enclosing this place and making it a fortress-like place. Even if there were enemies, they would not be exposed.
will be blocked out.
Of course, it will cost a lot of money to build such a place.
Qian Luozhang has it, but what he lacks is time, so he needs to find Zhao Tianhu and others to discuss it, tell them his plan and let them do it.
As a leader, it is impossible to do everything personally. All he has to do is steer the ship and issue orders!
After waiting for an hour, Wu Shaobin rushed over first. The reason why he spent so much time was because he had to deal with matters in other mines, but Luo Zhang called him, and he naturally put aside his matters and rushed over.
Not long after Wu Shaobin arrived, Zhao Tianhu also came over on horseback, sweating profusely.
Looking at Zhao Tianhu, who had a fat belly and was sweating profusely, Luo Zhang rolled his eyes. This Zhao Tianhu was now carefree, and his weight had skyrocketed. The fierce look he had before no longer existed, and he now looked like an outsider.
It's a joy, but I'm afraid that many people won't believe it now if they say he was a bad person in the past!
"Brother, I'm late. This horse really doesn't work! I'll get another one another day!" Zhao Tianhu got off the horse and trotted to Luo Zhang's side.
Luo Zhang brushed off the fat on his body and said: "It's not that the horse can't do it, it's that you are too heavy. No matter how good the horse is, it can't support your weight!"
"Pfft..." Wu Shaobin couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Tianhu touched his big belly. He was not angry, but looked happy and proud.
Luo Zhang was speechless and did not dwell on this issue. Instead, he led the two of them around the mine and said, "Is it possible to build a fortress according to the location I just walked?"
"Luo Zhang, why do you want to build a fortress here?" Wu Shaobin asked in confusion.
Luo Zhang picked up a piece of black ore that fell on the ground and said: "Because of it, Changsun Wuji mined this place for a while. I'm afraid it won't be long before he discovers the secret of this mine. I'm afraid that by then
There will be a fight, I just prepare in advance!"
"What is this?" Zhao Tianhu also picked up a piece of ore from the ground and said.
"What is this? This is wealth. With this thing, I can get a material that is harder than iron. The weapons made with it are indestructible, and the iron knife can be broken with a swing in front of him!" Luo Zhang was surprised!
Golden Light Road.
"What? Harder than iron? This..." Wu Shaobin opened his mouth in shock.
Zhao Tianhu's hand trembled and the ore fell to the ground.
Only then did they understand why Luo Zhang came to them in such a hurry. If it was true as Luo Zhang said, it was not just as simple as wealth, it could even change a lot of things!
"Now you understand why I built a fortress here to encircle it!" Luo Zhang looked at the two of them and said.
"I understand, I'll go find the master craftsman and ask him to find craftsmen to build it!" Wu Shaobin said in a solemn tone.
"I will go back now to transfer money for the master craftsman to purchase materials!" Zhao Tianhu followed.
"You guys should keep an eye on this place and send more people here to guard it. If anything happens, report it to me immediately. Anyone who comes near here will be driven away. No one is allowed to approach here at will until the fortress is built. This place will be temporarily closed.
The mine has been sealed for me and is not open for mining. Those miners should stop digging and help the master craftsman move things!" Luo Zhang ordered.
"Yes, little brother!" Zhao Tianhu promised.
Wu Shaobin nodded, indicating that he understood.
After settling the matter here, Luo Zhang had no intention of looking at other mines. Instead, he turned his horse's head and headed towards the royal horse's head.
When we arrived at the Royal Pier, there were much fewer people here than before. After all, after leaving for a few hours, the cargo on the ship had been unloaded, and the people on the ship had returned to the military camp. There was nothing interesting to see and everyone dispersed naturally.
Luo Zhang went directly to the military camp. The place was bustling with people and it was so lively!
Every soldier's face was filled with a happy smile.
