Ji Xinyu saw that Xue Rui didn't seem to be a fake, thought for a while and said, "Since Mr. Xue is so insistent, how much silver are you going to pay for this carriage?" ”

Xue Rui walked around the carriage, carefully observed it and replied: "Shizi, this carriage is worth no less than hundreds of taels, Xue Mou has the courage to ask Shizi to sell it to Trumpet at a price of 300 taels per car." ”

Ji Xinyu was stunned, is this car so expensive? After thinking about it, I realized that the market price is indeed so much. In Zhongzhou, the wooden carriage of the ordinary rich and noble people is fifty or sixty taels, not to mention the carriage made of steel, the lowest price of ordinary pig iron on the market is one pound of silver, the price of refined steel can not be calculated, good steel can be equivalent to silver, the steel on this car is not only hundreds of catties, plus the blessing of the bearing, 300 taels is indeed not expensive at all.

"That's it, since Mr. Xue wants to buy this car, I will be the master to give Mr. Xue five cars, and you can buy five more, how about it?" Ji Xinyu just opened his mouth to ask for others, and now he naturally can't do without a little expression.

Xue Rui thought about it, and also thought that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was so generous because he needed him to go to Bashu to help deliver letters and goods, and then replied loudly: "Then Xue has the cheekiness to accept His Royal Highness's kindness, thank Your Highness for your generosity." ”

"It's too public, in the next two months, I will send people to send the carriage to the Xue family business bank one after another, and I will ask Mr. Xue to drive one first." Ji Xinyu replied.

"Your Highness is thoughtful, Xue Mou thanks His Royal Highness the Prince." Xue Rui's goal was achieved, so he naturally didn't stay longer, chatted for a while, asked the shopkeeper to pay 5 taels of silver, and left with his subordinates in the truck.

Ji Xinyu started his car-making career again, first came to a private warehouse to let Aiden make 20 car bearings and ten front suspension systems, and also manufactured a batch of spring steel plates and screws, and then successively let people move out of the steel workshop for assembly. The steel workshop also divided half of the people to build the frame, plus there were a lot of spare parts prepared, and the assembly was not slow, Ji Xinyu talked about the production method of the carriage, and at the same time let Aiden use the spirit to teach, which also improved the loyalty of these blacksmiths, so as not to cause trouble.

Naturally, there are still wooden decorations outside the bearings, and every time one is built, people will drive the soap to the Xue family firm, leaving the carriage to ride back, but it has not attracted much attention, even if most of the difficult parts are saved, these ten cars still took more than a month to complete.

When the sixth car was delivered to the Xue family firm, Xue Rui visited Ji Xinyu again, this time to tell Ji Xinyu that he had arranged for someone to prepare to go to Bashu, and Ji Xinyu also handed over the letter with his seal to Xue Rui and asked him to transfer it to the Bashu Shu Palace. The letter probably meant to ask the king of Shu for the news of his trip to the capital, as well as to inform the king of Shu of his current situation, and to ask the king of Shu to give him material support, and it was best to send some soldiers to Qiongzhou.

Handing the letter to Xue Rui, Ji Xinyu and Aiden began to look for minerals again, this time around an extinct volcano 60 kilometers south of Lingzhou Mansion, and according to Aiden, the odds of finding rare metals in that landscape were many times higher than elsewhere.

With the small flag Chen Liang and four guards, he went south along the Nandu River, and Aiden also found some minerals along the way, but he didn't stop, and stayed for one night in a small town called Yunlong Town. The next day, he continued to hurry, and it was not until noon that he arrived near the extinct volcano that Aiden said, and Aiden immediately instructed Ji Xinyu to go to the mountain, and after a difficult trek, he finally stopped in a valley.

Aiden...... You're so tormented, what good things have you discovered? Ji Xinyu took a sip of water and asked heavily.

"Congratulations to you Xiaoyu, we are lucky this time, there is a silver mine in the mountains ahead." Aiden's voice didn't have much emotion, but the news it brought was shocking.

Burst...... Ji Xinyu, who was drinking water, squirted out directly with a mouthful of water, and asked eagerly in his mind: "Silver mine?" Isn't that a post...... How many are there in this mine? ”

"There are not many that are convenient to mine, and you can train about 7-8 tons of silver." Aiden replied.

"Only 8 tons of reserves such a small silver mine? It didn't seem worth it for us to run this far, but 8 tons of silver is equivalent to 160,000 taels of silver, and we can do a lot of things. The silver that Steward He brought over this time also cost a lot, and most of the money he brought was silver tickets, and he had to go to Qiongzhou City to exchange them every time, which may have attracted the attention of the old fox of Ji Yushan, and it just so happened that we didn't have to change it all the time when we went back with this silver. Ji Xinyu said with some assumptions.

"I'm just talking about silver mines, the silver mines here are only peripheral auxiliary mines, the main mineral deposits are internal wolframite, about 120,000 tons, the associated ore here is not only silver but also tin, but the tin content is lower, now my cutting power is not capable of large-scale mining of so many mineral deposits, can only collect the ore that falls off than my space, too big can not be collected, let alone smelted, you are now 5 guards plus you 6 people, it is very inconvenient to mine, large-scale mining or wait and see, We can first get a batch of tungsten back, improve the tools on the current machine tools, and also make more kinds of machine tools. Aiden ignored the money-hungry Ji Xinyu and explained slowly.

"It turns out that this is tungsten ore, 120,000 tons of tungsten ore! Don't worry about tungsten in the future. Now small-scale mining can only use explosives to blow up the rubble, and then you collect some more, and I let them blow it up first, and how much can be collected. Ji Xinyu immediately began to plan this mining operation.

Find Chen Liang and ask him to take two people to a small cave in the middle of the mountain to install a large package of explosives, pull out the fuse and ignite it. With a loud explosion, the cave exploded open, and stones rolled down the hill around and above. Ji Xinyu waited for a while, and when he saw that there were no more falling stones, he left two guards to watch the horses, and took Chen Liang and the other two guards to the direction of the falling stones, and asked Aiden to collect various stones outside the blind spot of several people along the way, and then smelt them into silver and tungsten.

Along the way, Chen Liang and his guards gathered small pieces of silver ore nearby, and walked towards the cave. The cave had been blown up and filled with large and small stones, and now when no one was around, Aiden began to collect large quantities of silver and tungsten ore, which were also mixed with tin, copper, molybdenum and other minerals. While smelting and discarding the scrap, he unknowingly walked to the depths of the cave, and Aiden collected all the loose ore along the way, which can be regarded as relieving the danger.

Ji Xinyu turned around again and saw that there was really no ore to collect, so he returned to the entrance of the cave, and when he turned around and walked out of the cave, he was already holding a large piece of silver in his hand, and he walked back with difficulty. Chen Liang saw Ji Xinyu holding something from a distance, and hurriedly walked over to take over. You must know that the density of silver is very large, and such a large piece is estimated to be 200 catties, which is an excuse for Ji Xinyu to find ore and blow up the mountain.

Chen Liang took the silver nugget in Ji Xinyu's hand, let the two guards carry it to the horses at the intersection, turned around and said to Ji Xinyu excitedly: "Young master, have you found a silver mine!" ”

"Yes, there is a silver mine on this mountain, and I also saw the records of my predecessors about the silver mine in Qiongzhou in a book before, so I managed to come here, and it seems that I was not disappointed." Ji Xinyu said matter-of-factly.

"No wonder the young master has been wandering around the mountains during this time, my brothers and I are still wondering, it turns out that the young master is looking for a silver mine, but it is really rare that there will be such a large piece of silver in the silver mine." Chen Liang suddenly realized.

"This should be natural silver that I came across by chance, and I am looking for not only silver mines, but also gold mines, I have only seen the general characteristics in the book, I don't know the specific place, you mark the location of the silver mines here on the map, and there will be opportunities to bring people to mine them in the future." Ji Xinyu took care of things seriously, making excuses for himself to come out to find mines in the future.

"And the gold mines! The young master is really amazing! It's really the golden house in the book, and the brothers won't be calling it hard anymore in the future. Chen Liang said with a smile.

Ji Xinyu looked up at a few guards, then looked at Chen Liang and said with a smile: "It turns out that you feel hard, I originally said that I would give each of you a reward of 100 taels of silver, in this case, don't come next time, just forget about the reward." ”

"Young Master...... We don't work hard. A few guards hurriedly said in a hurry.
