How did Zhennanbao expand?

This Zhao Hao naturally had already planned it, he directly took out a parchment roll, hung it on the wooden board erected behind him, and then pointed to the sketch above and ordered: "This is the valley we are in, the north and south ends are sealed with a four-step high city wall, fill in the middle, and build 5,000 separate houses according to the terrain, Ah Shan, Ah Feng, and Nanjiang You are responsible, leading your elite and 5,000 young men to complete it in one month." “

The valley where Zhennanbao is located is more than ten miles long, and he means that he wants to expand the entire valley into Zhennanbao?

It's a bit scary to see how much work you do.

However, Ah Shan, Ah Feng and Sha He did not raise any questions, and they immediately bowed their hands and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Hao then pointed to the sketch and ordered: "This is the open space between the valley and the Haotian River, the east and west sides are each sealed with a four-step high city wall, the middle is filled, and there are twelve columns of sheds for building inventory. “

This project does not seem to be very large, but in fact it is not much smaller than the amount of work in the valley, because the shed he asked to build is several miles long!

How many goods do you have to store in such a big shed?

Ah Lin, Ah Shu and Sha He didn't ask any questions, and directly arched their hands: "Obey." ”

Zhao Hao then pointed to the sketch and ordered: "This is a temporary wharf on the Haotian River, Ah Hua, Ah Huo, you take your elite to expand it and expand it into a wharf that can dock twenty big ships." ”

The amount of work is not very large, so he arranged a thousand people.

Ah Hua and Ah Huo also bowed their hands without hesitation: "Obey." ”

Zhao Hao finally ordered: "Beishan, Ah Xing, you lead the four thousand young people gathered by your elite and the eight battalions to burn clay bricks and tiles, and build another forty big ships. ”

The so-called four thousand young men gathered by the eight battalions were actually the prisoners of the original battalions, of course, at this time, they were also the clansmen of Haotian Ling.

Five thousand horses came to burn the clay bricks and tiles, obviously for the other three groups of people, and Beishan and Ah Shu also did not hesitate to give their hands and said, "Obey." ”

With Zhao Hao's order, nearly 20,000 horses immediately started, and the entire Zhennanbao and outside were suddenly in full swing.

At this time, Zhao Hao took Ji Rushuang and began to search carefully in the Nanban Mountains on the southeast side of Zhennan Fort.

This piece of Nanban Mountains can be said to be the most frequent place frequented by the masters of Nanhua, close to the existence of divine beasts, that is absolutely none, if there is one, it has already been hunted by the masters of Nanhua, and the beasts are also quite difficult to find, and it is good to be able to hunt one a day.

So why did Zhao Hao put down the expansion project of Zhennanbao and took Ji Rushuang to waste time in this Nanban mountain?

In fact, his main purpose was not to hunt exotic beasts, but to find coal and iron mines.

In the future, he will make a large number of knife coins and dimes, as well as kitchen knives, hoes and other ironware, I believe that it is also quite popular in Nanhua and even the entire Taihua Department, and I don't know how many will be built at that time.

Are there tens of thousands of these things? Naturally, there is a lot of coal and iron ore needed? If it was shipped from Ah Hua and Ah Shan's territory, it would be too strenuous? So? He wanted to look around to see if there were any coal and iron mines in the mountains of the Nanban.

As for the method of searching? It's very simple, he just took Ji Rushuang to drill into the mountains or valleys where the trees were relatively scarce? Let's see if there are any open-pit coal mines or iron mines. If there is no open air, they will use their magic weapons to split around for a while, and split some hillsides to see if there are any inside.

This prospecting method is a bit weird? It is estimated that future generations of exploration experts will definitely cry and laugh when they see it.

But? Zhao Hao can't help it, because he is not an all-powerful god, how to prospect he really can't, he will only use this stupidest method.

Not to mention, his luck is still quite good? Within a few days, he found an open-pit iron mine in a valley more than 20 miles away from Zhennanbao? As for the coal mines, he also found two places in a mess? One is about more than ten miles away from Zhennanpu, and the other is about thirty miles away from Zhennanbao.

Is this easy to do? He directly ordered Zhao Yi and Zhao Zhi to find Beishan Auntie and ordered five hundred young men each? Plus a hundred of their guards to build roads together? It was enough to connect the coal and iron mines with Zhennanbao, and then he organized people to dig them.

The problem of coal mines and iron mines was solved in this way, but Zhao Hao suddenly discovered that he did not have a professional blacksmith under his command.

Of course, the so-called professional blacksmith at this time actually learned a little bit of iron-making skills from him, and then made iron himself for a few years, and his skills are relatively proficient.

If he had time, he could have cultivated another batch.

Problem, he doesn't have time at all.

Or rather, he couldn't wait that long.

Because, after the Zhennan Fort is built, this knife coin and corner coin will come in handy.

In desperation, he could only gather the eight newly promoted princes such as Ah Hua and Ah Shan together.

Ah Hua and Ah Shan and the others thought that he wanted to understand the progress of various projects, and then supervise them.

I didn't think about it, but Zhao Hao asked inexplicably as soon as he opened his mouth: "Do you know that next, we will exchange things such as meat and leather goods and iron pottery with other territories in Nanhua for food?" ”

Of course they know this, they are all thinking about whether to exchange meat and leather goods and iron pottery or something with other territories in Nanhua for some food, after all, they also have more than 1,000 clansmen under each of them at this time, and if they only eat meat, the consumption is really large.

Everyone nodded without hesitation, but none of them spoke, and everyone seemed to look at Ah Shan intentionally or unintentionally, meaning to let Ah Shan open his mouth and go back and forth.

Because Ah Shan is Zhao Hao's cousin, he is the closest to Zhao Hao.

Seeing this, Ah Shan could only reply helplessly: "We have heard about this for a long time, I have prepared some meat and leather goods, and I want to exchange some food with other territories in Nanhua, but I don't know how to exchange it." ”

Zhao Hao smiled and explained: "I have already discussed this with the Great Elder, we can exchange knife coins and jiao coins for food with other territories in Nanhua, or, directly use meat and leather goods and iron pottery, but these things have to be priced with knife coins and jiao coins." ”

Knife and dime?

I don't think there's such a thing yet!

Everyone is in the clouds, and they don't know why.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao directly took out the sketches of the knife coin and the corner coin, hung it on the wooden board behind him, and then explained: "This is the knife coin and the corner coin, the knife coin is actually a sharp knife, and the corner coin is actually an arrow." I have already negotiated with the Great Elder, one knife coin for ten catties of rice, and one dime coin for one catty of rice. Of course, other territories in Nanhua can also exchange knife coins and jiao coins with us for meat and leather goods and iron pottery, and the temporary pricing is a knife coin in exchange for a pound of meat, and the rest will be estimated according to this. ”

At this time, everyone finally understood, it turned out that knife coins and corner coins were knives and arrowheads.
