Chapter 138: The Wonderful Use of Gem Mine
"Not long after you left? Could it be that Brother Liu was attacked by a fierce beast? ”
Before the words fell, Li Yu had already led the guards and ran quickly in the direction where Liu Bang left.
It's not that Li Yu cares about the safety of this long-lasting cow, but that since Liu Bang has been on an errand under his door, he naturally can't be too cold-blooded as the master.
Therefore, Li Yu hurriedly took people to check the situation.
And Liu Bang didn't know that his heroic reckless actions had already been defined by Li Yu and others as Liu Bang's misfortune.
After all, it's only three or four miles away, and the two sides are close to each other.
It took less than a stick of incense for Li Yu to see Liu Bang alive.
I saw Liu Bang leaning alone on the corpse of a giant python with a severed head, panting.
And when everyone came up, Liu Bang didn't know why, he suddenly felt a sense of pride burst in his chest, and his head couldn't help but slowly rise.
Xiao He was a little wheezing at this time because of the relationship of trotting all the way, and when he saw Liu Bang sitting there alive, leaning on the corpse of a giant python behind him, his old face was shocked out of folds.
"Brother Liu is fine, it's really good!"
As soon as the words came out, Xiao He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then saw Liu Bang's old face darkened, and said with a grin: "Old Xiao, is it possible that you are still looking forward to something for me?" ”
Seeing this, Xiao He really used the wrong word in his heart, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Liu, don't get me wrong, Xiao is just too worried about you and used the wrong word for a while." ”
Liu Bang naturally knew about it, and just said it casually, but he didn't take it to heart.
Seeing that Li Yu was about to speak, Liu Bang's eyebrows relaxed, and he immediately said: "Ji walked out of Sili and encountered a giant python attack, and immediately swung his sword to cut it. ”
Swing your sword and slash ......
Liu Bang's last four words were extremely chic, which made Li Yu feel inexplicably enthusiastic when he heard it.
But fortunately, Li Yu sobered up quickly, and after thinking about it, he said: "Brother Liu has good means, and he has only been out for less than half an hour, and he has brought a delicious snake soup to Benhou......
As soon as Liu Bang heard this, his old face couldn't help but pull out a few times.
Snake?
This special mother is reckless, right?
thought that he would receive all kinds of praise from Li Yu and others, but Liu Bang also brewed several prevarication and modest words to talk about.
But I didn't want to be directly defined by Li Yu's simple word "snake soup".
Liu Bang was so angry, this wave of pretending × was actually invisibly resolved by Li Yu.
"Master Hou worked hard for the empire, Ji naturally always cared about it, and killed the giant python here, but he immediately thought of the lunch meal that our soldiers had not yet opened, and wanted to add a dish of meat for everyone."
Even though the matter of killing the giant python was brought by Li Yu, Liu Bang still thought about it and mentioned it, and the "snake" in front of him was a python.
But it seems that everyone's minds are not focused on words, which makes Liu Bang very hurt.
Fortunately, Zhang Liang suddenly spoke: "The snake is a long worm, and it can also be described as a dragon, Brother Liu Bang killed such a huge python alone, which makes his conscience admire." ”
After receiving Zhang Liang's praise, Liu Bang's face suddenly improved a lot, so he patted the corpse of the giant python behind him and said, "Master Hou, I don't know what to do with this thing?" ”
Li Yu grinned and said, "Didn't I say it, make it into snake soup." ”
In the Qin Dynasty, the variety of food was not small, but the method was indeed single, and the method in the cognition was either baked or boiled, which was simply boring to eat.
Now it is well known that Li Yu has opened a food restaurant in all counties of Daqin, and all kinds of delicacies in it are so forgetful that they ignore whether the waist is wrapped around enough.
It just so happened that Liu Bang consumed a huge amount of python slashing, and now he was hungry, and after hearing the word snake soup that Li Yu said, he subconsciously regarded it as a delicacy.
Then Liu Bang swallowed his saliva and said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and move back to get a pot of snake soup for everyone to taste." ”
Seeing this, Li Yu shook his head and said: "Brother Liu is anxious, snake soup and snake soup, naturally you have to boil it into a soup before you can eat it, and now you are in the wild, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat it." ”
"Then Master Hou, ...... you still mention?"
Li Yu grinned and said, "I didn't say that I would cook snake soup now, did I?" ”
……
Goo ~ Goo ~ At the moment when Liu Bang was speechless, his stomach rang out uncontrollably.
Li Yu immediately smiled and said: "There has already been a rebellion in the camp just now, so return to the camp here to eat at will, and when you find the mineral deposits, this big snake is the staple food of the celebration banquet." ”
After speaking, Li Yu immediately arranged for a team of people to return to the boat with a giant python and some delicacies and game.
After all, according to Li Yu's idea, he will return to Hainan County when he finds the mineral deposits today, and these mountain delicacies and game will naturally be brought back together, so that the chefs of Shiweiju can process them into delicious food so that they will not be wasted.
The crowd returned the same way, hurriedly ate some food, and marched again along the path that Liu Bang had walked towards the stream.
After walking for about half an hour, I suddenly saw that the trees in the entire forest were much sparser, and there was a small cave entrance.
As soon as the exploration skills came out, it was revealed that this place contained a huge amount of gem mines, and Li Yu immediately laughed and said, "God really helps me." ”
"Why did Master Hou say this?"
Before everyone could figure out the situation, they heard Li Yu suddenly come to such a sentence, and someone immediately asked.
"Excavation of mineral deposits, of course, needs to be carried out from the outside, from top to bottom, and now there is such a cave, which saves a lot of engineering for the future mining of mineral deposits."
Li Yu didn't explain too much, after all, these subordinates in front of him were not craftsmen like Feng Yansheng, and they definitely didn't know much about mining mineral deposits.
Therefore, Li Yu just said a few words casually, and did not speak.
When the soldiers cleaned up the surrounding debris, the small hill with a radius of several hundred meters was instantly exposed.
On its mossy stone walls, some luminous objects are faintly visible.
Li Yu casually took out a dagger and scraped it towards the stone wall, and when the moss fell to the ground, the rubies of different sizes inlaid on the stone instantly attracted everyone's attention.
And Liu Bang swallowed his saliva without going out, and said, "This ...... So much ......"
For Li Yu, who knows a little about gem mines, the quality of this kind of exposed gemstone will not be too high, but it is better than nothing.
Only those gem mines that break through the outer layer and are buried in the depths are truly superb.
As for how many people in Daqin know how to distinguish the quality of gemstones, this is not something that Li Yu should consider.
Right now, Li Yu only needs to do one thing, and that is to record the location of this place and then build a mine.
In this way, this place temporarily belongs to Li Yu, and the mineral deposits are naturally owned by Li Yu.
After the guards knocked down a complete gem ore sample from the stone wall, Li Yu waved his hand and said: "This place is listed as an important place in the empire, equivalent to a mint, five hundred soldiers will stay here, and the rest will go back with me." ”
"Yes."
The voice echoed in the forest, and only Li Yu knew that the value of these gem mines was enough to bring a lot of wealth to the empire.
