Chapter 799

In the southwest of Wusheng, seven or eight hundred kilometers away, the mountains are reckless, the cliffs are steep, and there are no roads to communicate with each other. But since more than two months ago, more than 100 people have crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains and entered this deep mountain.

No one knew what they were doing, only that it took them more than a month to open a passage to the outside of the mountain. Then he kept digging in the mountains, as if looking for something.

"Come on, everyone! Hou Ye has an order, if you find that wisp mine, everyone will be rewarded! From now on, you will eat and drink spicy food, and everyone will have no worries about food and clothing! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged, Hou Ye said that there is here, then there must be one!"

"You also know in the Battle of the Southwest, a character like Hou Ye has always been a god, he will never lie, everyone works hard, and Hou Ye will never treat everyone badly!"

......

On the mountain, on a huge lying cow rock, a thirty-year-old prison soldier kept urging everyone, and a loud voice resounded throughout the mountains.

"Your Excellency!"

While he was digging, a sudden rush of screams came from outside, and a sturdy man in his thirties stumbled in from the outside:

"There are a lot of people out there, go and have a look. ”

"What?!"

On the lying cow stone, the thirty-year-old prison soldier looked slightly shocked, and jumped down from the rock:

"What nonsense are you talking about, there is no one else here but us. ”

"My lord, I'm not lying, look. ”

A sturdy man in his thirties said with a look of trepidation. The argument between the two quickly caught everyone's attention. The hooves clicked, and in just a moment, the smoke and dust were billowing and the horses' hooves were like thunder, coming from the outside along the mountain road opened by everyone.

The prison guard's expression was stunned, and he subconsciously looked up, only to see the billowing smoke and dust covering the sky, and countless figures faintly appeared in the smoke. Judging from the dense sound of horses' hooves and the smoke and dust kicked, the crowd outside was at least nearly a thousand people.

"Who the hell is this? There is no one else in the whole mountain except us, could it be a nearby bandit?"

The overseer was startled in his heart, and a thought flashed through him subconsciously.

On the westward Silk Road, rampant and domineering, the largest number of people are those bandits and horse bandits, and they will appear at this time, I am afraid that nine times out of ten they are the bandits and horse bandits on the nearby mountains.

"Could it be that the movement we made here was too big and attracted the attention of some horse thief?"

There was a pang of unease in the prison army's heart.

"Lei Peng?"

At this moment, a loud voice came from the smoke and dust, and before the overseer could understand what was going on, he saw a green arm with knotted muscles, five fingers as black as iron, grasping a token, and stretching out from the smoke and dust.

"Exactly!"

Lei Peng was stunned and surprised, but soon, he recognized the token, and only one adult in the entire Middle Earth Tang would use that kind of token.

"But the Hou Ye sent you here, but isn't the time yet up?"

Lei Peng's heart suddenly quieted down.

"The war on the Western Front has ended, and the Hou Ye has an order to speed up the progress of the wisp mine. ”

The smoke cleared, and a fully armored cavalry leader rushed out of it. His expression was serious, with two whiskers on his lips, and he looked quite statusy, and behind him there were figures one after another, and if you looked closely, there were at least a thousand people.

"However, we have been digging for more than a month, and we have not found any wisps of ore yet, so would it be too urgent to start expanding the manpower now......? Wouldn't that be a waste of countless manpower and material resources, and it also disappointed Hou Ye. ”

Lei Peng said a little nervously.

Although he has been cheering everyone up for the past few months, he has no bottom in his heart whether there is the kind of wisp mine that Hou Ye said.

The mountains here are reckless, and before they are actually dug up, who knows which mountain has it, which mountain does not, or the whole mountain does not have it, so it will not be in vain.

"Master Hou said that if there is, then there must be one, so you don't need to say more. ”

The leader of the cavalry was resolute, his voice fell, he turned his head and waved behind him, and in an instant everyone dismounted, pulled out pickaxes, shovels and other tools from the horses, strode over, and quickly joined the army of mining wisps.

Seeing this, Lei Peng could only flash a helpless look in his eyes, and then joined the mining army. One day, two days, three days...... , just when Lei Peng was about to give up hope, on the fourth day, there was a boom, and suddenly the mountain collapsed, and a cry of surprise came from the mountain:

"Found it! Found it! We really found the wisp of ore that Hou Ye said! Hahaha......

An old miner, holding a large piece of gray-white ore in both hands, suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Aluminum ore", although it was erroneously called wisp ore in this era, Wang Chong still relied on the memory in his mind to successfully find these treasures buried in the mountains.

The field of vision is infinitely high, and if you look down from the endless heights, you will find that there are more than one mining team like this, in the southeast, southwest, and other places on the Silk Road, Wang Chong has all sent men and horses, and after the battle of the triangle gap, the scale has quickly increased to more than ten times.

This quickly improved the efficiency of mining, and with the discovery of aluminum ore here, the various families of the Tang Dynasty who were allied with Wang Chong quickly settled in it and exerted their respective strengths.

Truckloads of aluminum ore were continuously mined from the deep mountains in various places, and then sent to Jingshi like a hundred rivers entering the sea. And in Jingshi, all the things related to these aluminum ores are gathered in the name of one person.

"My lord, this is the thousandth cart of ore sent today. ”

In the eastern suburbs of Beijing, on the westward Silk Road, a guard in a green shirt stood next to Zhao Jingdian, looking at the endless stream of carriages, constantly transporting carts of minerals, and suddenly spoke.

Behind them, a succession of houses stood, the most rudimentary of brick structures, without any furniture, and all filled with piles of "wisps of ore".

In Datang, all iron ore and copper ore are sought after by various families and sword towers and sword shops, but no one knows what this new "wisp mine" is for.

Although many people think that it is worthless, it is an indisputable fact that they are highly valued here in Wang Chong. Although many families still have reservations about Wang Chong's plan, they can't bear the low cost of these "wisps of ore" or "lime".

For many families, even if they participate, the losses are very limited, but if the bet is right, they can get endless benefits from Wang Chong.

This is the real reason why many families have become involved.

"The supply during this period is too large, and it seems that Hou Ye has freed his hands from the black injury. ”

Next to Zhao Jingdian, another guard who looked extremely clever also followed, looking extremely excited.

"Well, you two reacted very quickly, I just received the news a few days ago, Hou Ye just defeated Du Song Mang Buzhi and Wusi Tibetans on the plateau, and swept away the threat from the west, and now in a short time, there should be no threat to the west, what Hou Ye means, our side can speed up." ”

Zhao Jingdian bowed his head slightly and spoke.

Zhao Jingdian did not follow this trip, because Wang Chong also handed him a more important thing, those lime, clay, sand, and stone are actually extremely inconspicuous things, and the princes and magnates of the Beijing Division basically did not look down on these things, but Zhao Jingdian felt that Wang Chong valued these things unprecedentedly.

That's the main reason why he stayed.

"As for the recipe for the new mud, how are the craftsmen in the back researching?"

Zhao Jingdian looked in the direction of the west and didn't look back.

"Lately all the most experienced artisans have been working around the clock to get the best recipes, and now the harvest is already reaping. After the mud concocted by the latest formula hardens, it can already accept the full force of the True Martial Mirror powerhouse, but Master Kong said that the hardness of this formula can also be increased, and the final ideal state should be able to withstand the full force of the Xuanwu Mirror powerhouse. ”

The guard on the left said with a serious face.

In addition, what Hou Ye said about adding some steel bars to the mud in advance, several masters agreed that it was very reasonable. Moreover, several masters also had some ideas, thinking that some simple strong inscriptions or defensive inscriptions could be added to these steel bars in advance, which could greatly increase the hardness of the mud after hardening, and further improve the strength they could carry. ”

Another guard added. The biggest difference between this world and Wang Chong's previous world is that it has a large number of inscriptions, that is to say, Wang Chong may have underestimated the height that "cement" can finally reach in this world.

——These are all things that Wang Chong could not have predicted in advance.

"Almost, Hou Ye's affairs can't be delayed, notify the various families in the capital, tell them, and say that Hou Ye and them agreed, and it's their turn to contribute money and efforts. After waiting so long, I think they are even more anxious than we are. ”

Zhao Jingdian took the hand.

During the days when Wang Chong left the capital and went to Wusheng, there were many cooperative families in the capital who came here to find out the details under various tricks.

The dignified generals of the family, and the King of Song is behind them, but no one thinks that Wang Chong will trick them, but all the big families know nothing about this matter, and Wang Chong is unwilling to tell them, and the major families are itching one by one, so they can only keep trying their best to send people to check.

"Boom!"

As soon as Zhao Jingdian's voice fell, it was like a thunderbolt falling in the Jingshi, causing thousands of waves. The various families, wealthy and powerful people, like sharks that smell blood, quickly smell the wind and move.

Countless human, financial, and material resources were quickly mobilized, and immediately set off a storm in the entire Middle-earth Divine State.
