If you are just short of swords and want to make a Damas Valley knife, this simple ancient method of making does not require labor. Li Sheng personally made it.
But the problem is... although it was not difficult for the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty to make the Damas Valley Knife - even if Li Sheng didn't come to take them off, it would be no problem.
But the Uzi iron ore behind Damas Valley Knife is a problem.
Because most people really can’t find this thing!
After all, geological exploration is too professional.
Even Li Sheng is not sure, let alone ordinary people. Even Wu Meiniang, who has been carefully trained by Li Sheng, the best technical backbone in the Hangzhou Industrial Zone, and even the Zhongzuo Institute, also possess the geological manual compiled by Li Sheng.
Even the technical soldiers of the Forbidden Army can't handle it.
Really professional things cannot be learned by Li Sheng's casual teaching, and...
In fact, Li Sheng was not even sure whether he could find this thing.
After all, although Li Sheng is a science student, he is not a geology major. Even Li Sheng himself is not very professional in exploration.
But after all, while Li Sheng was different from the people of Datang, he was also different from those classmates in his previous life who had only studied a few elective courses...
Li Sheng is a special player who signed in and received a skill book...
Therefore, others may be confused about the exploration issue, but Li Sheng can also solve it. The problem is nothing more than the specific location of these iron ores...
Let alone Li Sheng, a science student.
There are only a few liberal arts students who can remember such detailed information, but this entry is obviously not the kind that would appear in undergraduate courses.
Therefore, Li Sheng had no choice. If he wanted to get the Wuzi Iron Mine, he had to come here and take a look around in person. After all, he only remembered the origin of the Wuzi Iron Mine, which belonged to the South Asian subcontinent...close to Persia.
that part of.
Of course, except for those opened in the Hangzhou Industrial Zone, most of these branches are run by ordinary merchants themselves. In fact, for Li Sheng, they can be regarded as "other people's" "private business."
Without the top-grade steel produced by Datang Military Industry and the Damas Valley Sword, you could just go back and use the original refined iron sword.
But... for such a well-known star resource, if he doesn't help Datang protect this, Li Sheng still feels that he has a bunch of titles, which seems unjustifiable...
In addition to these factors, it is best not to let the iron ore be lost to others, such as Rome and Persia, which have recently changed.
After all, it is a rare resource, and it is something that can quickly play a big role in recent times. Li Sheng really has no reason not to come up with a solution himself.
but……
I just came to Mangbai and there is nothing...
Li Sheng half remembered and half guessed that there must have been many wars in this place... a long time must have passed.
After all, sea trade was underdeveloped in ancient times. Although this place was a famous port city in later generations, since the port itself was of little value, naturally no one was interested in developing such a remote place.
However, Li Sheng still knew that if he remembered this period correctly, it seemed... exactly the period when Master Tripitaka and that famous story took place.
Li Sheng doesn't care about the background setting in the story, but the point is...
According to the description of that story, at that time... no, I should say that at present, in Tianzhu, there are definitely no gods and Buddhas in the sky, and no one can tell whether there are Buddhist temples all over the place, but it must be in a relatively stable state, with agricultural output
Stable and prosperous handicraft industry——
There must be material for so many Buddhist stories, right? Of course, it can only be the product of handicraft industry.
In the ancient world, stability meant that there must be a British master. If you look at it this way, even if Tianzhu is not a serious problem, it is at least a powerful enemy——
The key is to speculate based on that story that not only is Tianzhu's national strength not bad, but it also has huge gold and silver mineral deposits...
Of course, this is partly inferred information based on that famous story.
In addition to stories, Li Sheng also remembered some historical materials.
As a science student, it is of course impossible for me to understand too much detail, but at least I remember that the subcontinent during this period was divided into two parts, the north and the south.
The northern part is the area where Li Sheng currently occupies, which is of course the Tianzhu mentioned just now.
As for the south, it is said that there are records in history that call it Zhuchaan... The transliteration of ancient people is often a little strange, and it is difficult to say exactly what it is called, but apart from this relatively insignificant part, Zhuchaan is obviously also a strong enemy.
In the part where the chariot is located, various major merchants of the Tang Dynasty, including the Hangzhou Industrial Zone, are gradually developing various semicolons, among which Sola is the name of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it is also called Sola.
For Surat, which is currently the most prosperous, several merchants gathered to open a semicolon.
In short, in the past two short months, the world situation has been...
Ever since the Tang Dynasty and Rome reached a consensus to build ports, establish relations, and approve trade exchanges with each other, the world has been in a state of rapid change.
and……
Changes in the situation are not a good thing in many cases. In many historical stages, they are even disasters.
The reason is simple, because a large number of people...its economic base has changed.
Those who benefit from it are naturally good to you, me, and everyone. But once such dividends are lost...it connects the people who have suffered losses in the first place, and the economic foundation of so many people is destroyed, and trouble will inevitably arise.
And currently...
Due to the rise of trade, most seagoing ships today cannot take the Cape of Good Hope route. Most of them still pass through the Persian Gulf - or take the land route and travel by rail to both ends of the World Island.
Many countries became beneficiaries of this newly established system, such as the most typical example, the Tang Dynasty, which of course harvested a large amount of gold and silver.
This will become the next stage for Datang to open factories on a larger scale and lay the foundation for establishing the prototype of a real industrial system.
And Rome, which Cheng Yaojin and many senior officials of Datang thought would suffer a loss, and might even tear up the consensus and start a war, were actually benefiting, because Rome... Like Datang, he also had a prosperous handicraft industry!
And Rome is different from other foreign countries. Although Hannibal has not yet thought of the most important core strategy, which is the collection of precious metals that Datang is currently quietly operating. But Rome...after all, it has also reflected on each other with the Han Dynasty.
There are still many knowledgeable people in China who instinctively realize that they should earn foreign exchange by exporting handicrafts!
What's more, there are already many factories in Rome...
And the trade route network is so vast, not only the Tang Dynasty and Rome have benefited from it, but almost all the more stable countries in the world have tasted the benefits of trade.
but……
There is always no shortage of people in this world who can read the price from the feast of joy and take decisive action early...
For example, King Harsha, the Lord of India in North India...
