"Okay, dig the ore first and wait for use." Lu Bu said.

Pu Tie said: "Digging a pit is not difficult. With the pickaxe provided by the lord, the work efficiency is quite high. I repaired the road first, and it took a few days to repair the road a few hundred meters. The crushing of iron ore is the problem. The miners smashed the big stones to crush the ore."

When smelting iron ore, it needs to be crushed into powder. The finer the powder, the better it will be. In the years without machines, crushing iron ore is a huge project and consumes a lot of manpower.

Lu Bu said: "Okay, good, the progress is quite fast. Remember to arrange for miners to separate the copper ore. Liming Da Iron Mine needs to build a blast furnace with smelting copper. Then we will mint money to save money from spending," Lu Bu said.

"There are not many copper ores here, not even one-tenth of the iron ore. I have already stored the copper ore separately. The copper ore can be transported from Tongshan, and the distance is not far. It is not a problem to form a small mule team, and it is still possible to transport hundreds of kilograms a day." Pu Cheng said.

Lu Bu visited the copper mine in Tongshan. Although it is also open-pit, it requires digging. It is not necessary to dig a piece of copper mine to dig out a lot of soil. It is estimated that dozens of people can dig hundreds of kilograms a day, which is a poor mine.

"Do it well, copper and iron are all high-profit things. What's more, this big iron ore has three percent of your equity. You must do it well, and development is only in front of you." Lu Bu said.

Pu Tie rubbed his hands happily and minted money. This is something that many people want to do but dare not do. You can do it with Lu Bu.

The purchasing power of copper coins these days is quite good. One copper coins can be purchased well. Ordinary people have enough food for five copper coins a day.

According to the design drawing, a large defensive arrow tower and a fence were set up at the entrance of the valley, and three factories were built in the valley.

One is iron smelting, one is copper smelting a day, and the other is a forged factory.

After all, this kind of factory does not have any advanced equipment and is a workshop for civilized steelmaking, and the construction speed is still very fast.

"Do it well and build it as soon as possible. When the factory is ready, I will give you the design drawings of the blast furnace in the future. It is no problem for our iron ore to produce more than 10,000 kilograms of iron a day." Lu Bu said.

Pu Tie was shocked. The daily output was more than 10,000 kilograms of pig iron, which was a high enough output.

"Don't worry, lord, I will do my best. I want to ask for another thing, but I don't know how to speak." Pu Tie hesitated.

Lu Bu said: "If you have anything to do with Pu Zhubo, you will say it, you are all your own people."

Pu Railway: "My son, Pu Feng, has been good at martial arts since he was a child. He has also been practicing for more than ten years. He has not achieved much. He wants to follow the general and listen to the teachings sooner or later."

Lu Bu said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If you learn martial arts, you will have to make a stable country. Moreover, there is no shortcut to learning martial arts. There is no other way to go except hard training."

"I told him everything, but he just wanted to learn and follow the general." Pu Tie said.

Lu Bu said: "Okay, then let him come to the military camp to report. First, follow the recruits for a month. If the training is qualified, you can give him some advice."

"Thank you, lord. I decided to use my savings to buy dozens of horses to help you make great achievements." Pu Tie bowed.

"Come on, please get up quickly, they are all their own family, so why should they be so polite?" Lu Bu helped Pu Tie up.

The Mining Ding is still in good spirits, but it is inevitable that he will be exhausted after working for a long time.

Lu Bu arranged for Pu Tie: "Short the working time a little, don't exceed five hours a day. Let everyone rest for a while when it's hot at noon. It's cool in the afternoon, so it's just a little more time. In addition, I will send someone to teach these miners to sing some folk songs and songs to avoid being too tired when working."

"Okay, I'll write it down."

Those who Lu Bu sent to teach all the songs criticizing Cao Zhe, of course, it was still very nice.

Whether it is a country or a nation, if you want to develop, you must establish a powerful enemy. The enemy established by Lu Bu is Cao Cao.

There are still places to be rectified on the construction site. Although the people from several nearby villages can go home to rest, there are still hundreds of people who have to live in the deep mountains at night. The simple land nests and fences are not built strong enough and professional enough.

In this year, there are too many tigers, bears, wolves, leopards and pigs on the mountain.

Lu Bu asked the miner who was mining and said, "Have any wild beasts attacked?"

"Sir, a wild beast has come. A boar rushed over the day before yesterday and was beaten to death by all of us. We had extra meals. During the day, we worked, and we were holding iron guys in our hands. There were many people, so we were not afraid of wild beasts. At night, the tools were handed over and stored in a unified manner. We had nothing in our hands and were a little worried about wild beasts." said the mine.

Because Chen Deng stole the pickaxe and gave it to Liu Bei, these tools in Xuzhou are numbered and strictly managed. It is necessary to keep them uniformly when not in use. After all, every tool is steel, far exceeding other tools of this era.

Lu Bu turned his head and said to the accompanying Lord Bo: "Remember it. First, arrange the wooden instrument supervisor to make five hundred simple hardwood maces. Second, arrange to recruit two doctors who know how to bandage and treat trauma. Third, transfer a team of 100 people from Chenglian's troops to station in Limin Da Iron Mine, and rotate in March. To protect the safety of the iron ore and protect the mines from wild beasts."

"Yes, general." The master took out the paper and pen, wrote down it down, and arranged to convey military orders.

Feng Xiong beside him praised: "The lord not only loves soldiers, but also cares so much."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Loving the people cannot be just a gesture, it must be implemented."

It was getting darker and dinner was on, hundreds of miners and craftsmen came to the kitchen to have dinner.

Seeing Lu Bu here, he hurriedly bowed.

Lu Bu said: "No need to be polite, just eat. How about it? Are you still satisfied with the food?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, much better than what you eat at home," said the miners.

Lu Bu looked at the food and found that it was pretty good overall, including soybean, sorghum and rice, and there were also large pots of pickled bars.

Lu Bu said: "This rice is very good, but there are a little less food. I will think of ways to let you eat the food and eat meat during the holidays."

Everyone was very moved. Who was Lu Bu? Compared to these ordinary people, they were so powerful. They didn’t show off their airs, didn’t show off their authority, and they also cared about the mine managers.

Pu Tie next to him said: "Lord, there are not many vegetables nearby, and eating vegetables is difficult to solve."

Lu Bu comforted him and said, "If you have difficulties, you have to do it even if you overcome them. The miner engages in heavy physical labor every day. He often doesn't eat vegetables and is prone to illness and has poor resistance. So, I see that there are large wilderness in the east of the valley near the stream. You can reclaim hundreds of acres of acres to serve as the logistics land for the iron ore, plant hundreds of acres of vegetables, raise hundreds of pigs, and raise hundreds of sheep."
