Chapter 112: Autumn Harvest
Since the behind-the-scenes control of the mining village was able to recognize the rule of Linhe Village before, it was natural that he could also admit his control on the premise of increasing the tribute by two hundred catties.
As long as the mining village acknowledges its own sovereignty, then the data obtained before can be transformed into real materials through the golden finger of planting space. Such a beautiful thing, naturally have to do it, as long as there is a planting space, which is a golden finger of materials, how about letting this mining village get away for the time being?
After a while, the middle-aged man led a few so-called mine village leaders who were dressed very well, but their expressions were not as good as those of the middle-aged people, and they came out to apologize. Not only did he agree to Zhao Hu's request to double the annual tribute, but he also gave ten superb samurai* swords as a gift for offending the lord.
Zhao Hu smiled with great satisfaction, because there was a small piece of mine in the planting space, and he also learned that this mine could produce 100,000 catties of refined iron for itself during the autumn harvest every year!
After feeling this number and description, Zhao Hu's mouth was almost crooked. 100,000 catties of fine iron! A pound of refined iron is of consistent value! That's a hundred thousand! The daimyo of a million stones is not as rich as a bronze samurai of his own!
And with the appearance of goldfinger, which has been promoted to the qualification of no matter what other materials, he only needs to occupy the silver and gold mines. Then you can directly produce pure silver and pure gold! The value is several times higher than that of the silver and gold mines themselves!
Seeing Zhao Hu's triumphant appearance, the people on Zhao Hu's side were just a little stunned in confusion, while the people on the other side of the mining village secretly disdain.
"Haha, yes, since you have surrendered. If I apologize again, then I will not blame the past. Come on, pull these ox carts back, and it will be the tribute of the mining village this year! Zhao Hu waved his hand aggressively, and everyone who had already collected the ox cart and the products on it immediately responded excitedly and loudly.
The people in the mining village all showed a trace of pain, but they didn't dare to say anything, seeing them like this, the people on Zhao Hu's side naturally laughed, under Zhao Hu's order. The ox cart full of supplies drove back.
Seeing Zhao Hu walking away, the talent in the mining village spat and muttered: "It seems that they still think that we are suffering from those pig iron, iron ore and charcoal, but in fact, we are sorry for those dozen cows!" ”
"Damn, who said you didn't need to deal with the new lord in the first place? Say the lord was just a poor samurai? I can't afford to raise it myself. There's no way you're going to provoke us? How did the more than 300 troops led by others come out now! ”
"It's all Linhe Village that harms people! I knew that if I surrendered according to the old rules, there would be nothing! ”
"Hey, forget it, we don't lack that little thing, and it's good to be able to continue to settle down. Missing a dozen cows is nothing, and you can always ask the merchant to buy a batch to make up for it. ”
At one point, everyone actually said yes. And the person who said this was actually the middle-aged man who was the first to deal with Zhao Hu, needless to say, he was the leader of the mining village.
"My lord, it's just that the Zhao family captured some of our miners, and also asked us about our production and the number of weapons we built, as well as the population we have.
Although those miners don't know too much about the details, they also let the Zhao family grasp our bottom line, and I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future. A young man who had just asked about the miners who had been released came up and saluted.
"Humph! So what?! Could it be that after knowing such a situation, will the Zhao family have the courage to target us? I saw them leave in such a hurry, they must have known our details, so they scared away! ”
"That's right, my lord, why don't we lead the troops to destroy the Zhao family?!"
"No, we have a lord on the surface, which is more beneficial to our cause, and the other party is also interested in doing so. As for the back he is sensible and ignorant, it depends on his performance, if the well water does not violate the river water, then we will also send a batch of weapons to him during the New Year's holidays, if he is not interested, then let him see what kind of existence our iron cave people are! The middle-aged man sneered.
"Yes!" Everyone bowed, and then the mining village returned to its original lively scene, and countless goods began to enter and exit again.
After Zhao Hu was far away, the team was still driving the ox cart slowly, and Zhao Hu had already turned his head to look in the direction of the mining village with deep palpitations, his palms and vests were already soaked.
Zhao Hu was very dissatisfied with his performance: "Damn! Why can't you bear the coercion so much after changing your body? If you put pressure on it, you will break out in a cold sweat! And what is too much is that Lao Tzu's consciousness has no problem at all, but his body feels this coercion, which is really boring! It's just that I didn't expect that the middle-aged messenger was actually the source of this coercion, looking at the appearance of that coercion, that goods should be even better than Tian Kuo, the first of Yamada Wuxun! ”
"It's just such a character, why are you hiding in this mountain? Why form a mining village? With his ability, he blatantly occupies this mine, and the surrounding forces will definitely admit it, and then do everything possible to hire it into their own family! ”
"And more importantly, people who are already so awesome, why should they care about this bit of iron? It is his most powerful move, and the cost of studying in the Taoist temple is not comparable to the annual profit of the mine. So it's certain that such a figure is definitely under the control of a higher person, who sent him here to not know what to guard.
And this weird thing must be in the mines. Similarly, his origin above must be very big, maybe once exposed, it will be known to the whole world, and then there will definitely be countless people who wonder why such a powerful character as him hides in such a remote mountain forest to play in the mines. ”
"At that time, it will definitely attract countless people to come to investigate, and even people who are better than him will come to investigate, and then it will definitely be a lot of trouble. So it is conceivable that this is why such a powerful guy hides so carefully, and is willing to surrender to the hiding under the command of a village head who is only a few thousand stones.
And I also understand why the goods in Linhe Village are throwing away the territory like throwing hot coals. Obviously, he was aware of the existence of that awesome character, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he threw it out directly along with the trouble and territory! ”
Zhao Hu, who finally figured out the reason, did not have a wave of curiosity at the moment. After all, he knows that he is not awesome now, and if he is too curious, he will hang up early.
Therefore, you don't need to pay attention to those strange things, you have to wait for yourself to talk about them. And now, let's not interfere with the river water in the well water of the mining village, and concentrate on the rest of the territory.
Anyway, with the golden finger of planting space, I won't be short of iron, so when I find a few blacksmiths, I can't even say that I won't lack weapons!
Zhao Hu and his entourage, it took more than a day of effort to drive the ox cart back to the fishing village, only to find that the fishing village was not suitable as their own station, too narrow, even the dozen ox carts could not be placed, let alone hundreds of young people.
Zhao Hu naturally didn't keep these young people, and after inviting them to eat and drink, they were rewarded with two copper plates each, and then these elite peasant soldiers were disbanded.
And Zhao Hu also took advantage of the fact that he had seized so much charcoal, iron ore, pig iron, and especially more than a dozen cows, and fourteen teams were promoted to ten-stone warriors, and all other soldiers were promoted to five-stone warriors.
Then the two clerks who had been promoted to full samurai began to divide knowledge and action with pain and joy. This is a very troublesome thing, and there are endless troubles to divide it into whoever has good knowledge and action, and whoever has bad knowledge and action.
Don't take care of the two busy papers, directly stop these samurai who fantasize about how much they can expand after getting Zhixing, and order them to take small teams as units, bring dry food, and run around the territory.
One is to find out the wild people hiding in the mountains and forests, and after the autumn harvest, gather all of them in the countryside to increase the population. The second is to draw a map, what terrain, what main roads, trails, rivers, streams, springs must be clearly depicted. The third is to look for mountain specialties, herbs and minerals.
In the end, Zhao Hu came to a sentence, the team with the best performance, rewarded 10 stone Zhixing, and immediately let these warriors who had just returned from the battle be full of morale, went to the logistics clerk to receive dry food, and rushed to all the regions in Zhao Hu's territory with the team on fire.
The autumn harvest time finally came, Zhao Hu, as the owner of the land here, dressed up, surrounded by everyone, came to the edge of the most beautiful rice field, and personally went down to the field to cut a bunch of rice. With Zhao Hu's movements, everyone who had already been gearing up naturally rushed into the rice field with a sickle.
Looking at this hot scene, Zhao Hu grinned directly, not laughing at the harvest scene in front of him, but laughing at the tinkling of his own planting space.
Just when Zhao Hu cut a bunch of rice, the planting space was directly producing materials.
The idea was instilled in the planting space, and Zhao Hu only felt a sense of wealth and wealth emerge.
1,230 stone of rice, 23,200 catties of dried fish, 10,000 square meters of dense cedar wood, and 200 catties of refined iron.
Zhao Hu, who was still looking at these data with joy, suddenly stiffened: "Damn!" What's going on? Didn't you say 100,000 catties of refined iron? How did it become 200 catties of refined iron?! ”
A planting space that did not respond suddenly shook suddenly, making Zhao Hu feel that there was a looming phantom existence of 100,000 catties of refined iron in the mine of the planting space, and 200 catties of refined iron was a real existence.
