After chatting about the fortifications, Hua Xing turned his attention to Wei Kuo, who was sitting at the end, and asked the new protector who had just been promoted about another matter:

"By the way, Wei Hujun, do you know much about the mine where you hid before?"

Hearing Hua Xing suddenly ask about the mine, several people present were surprised, and soon heard Wei Kuo reply:

"Back to the general's words, I joined Zuo Feng halfway, and I have heard some about the mine, but I don't know much about it. I don't know what the general wants to ask? ”

"I want to know what kind of ore it is, how much it is stored, and why it closed all of a sudden." Hua Xing, who returned to the seat, asked while touching his chin.

"Well...... All I know is that it was an iron mine, and I don't know much about the amount of storage and the reason for its closure. However, I guess Zuo Feng must know that he was the foreman of the former mine, and he knows the situation in the mine best. Wei Kuo replied truthfully.

"Oh? He's the foreman of the mine, huh? That's it! Hearing this, he saw Hua Xing smile on the spot: "Go and help me call him, I have something to ask him!" ”

……

Five minutes later, the dark and thin Zuo Feng followed Wei Kuo into the command room.

As soon as Zuo Feng entered, he saw Tang Sheng, who was sitting on the side, suddenly patting his thigh and laughing:

"Hehe, I said Boss Zuo, why are your clothes worn backwards? Do you think it doesn't look good when you're wearing it? ”

Zuo Feng is a guy who is particularly afraid of heat, and he doesn't want to wear a shirt in the summer.

When Wei Kuo went to look for him just now, he was naked.

As soon as he heard Huaxing's invitation, he hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and came to the command room.

Unexpectedly, in a hurry, he wore his clothes backwards, and his face showed embarrassment:

"Oops! I just didn't pay attention to it, why did I wear it backwards? Hey, I'm sorry, I'm going to change it. ”

Seeing that Zuo Feng was going out to change clothes, Huaxing immediately waved his hand to stop:

"It's okay, it's okay! It's the other way around, as long as you don't feel bad, I don't have any opinion. By the way, Boss Zuo, I came to you today because I want to ask for advice. ”

Hearing that Huaxing also called himself "Boss Zuo", Zuo Feng, who has now sent people under the fence, immediately said with embarrassment:

"'Boss' doesn't dare to be it, that's the nickname that the brothers used to give blind, hehe, you can just call me Zuo Feng or Lao Zuo. If there is anything you ask, your subordinates will know everything. ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. I heard you used to be a foreman at a mine? ”

"Yes."

"Is there a lot of storage in that mine?"

"Great! Extraordinarily big! The iron ore in it can't be dug up for another ten or eight years. ”

I thought that the mine might be closed because of the depletion of ore, but after listening to Zuo Feng's description at this moment, Huaxing realized that it was not like that.

Soon, I saw Hua Xing frowning again and asked:

"Then why did it suddenly turn off?"

"Alas! If you want to talk about this, it actually has something to do with the general......"

"Huh? Related, related to me? ”

Seeing that Hua Xing was puzzled, Zuo Feng told everyone the ins and outs of this matter......

The mining area where Zuo Feng was located before, called "Luoyuan Iron Vein", was just discovered more than a year ago.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, iron ore was a very valuable mineral, and coupled with the huge reserves in this mining area, the news soon reached the ears of Dong Zhuo, the supreme leader of Luoyang.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was in full swing, and after hearing the good news, he quickly moved his heart, and did not announce the matter to the public, nor did he tell the puppet little emperor, but secretly found his cronies to mine privately.

In other words, this "iron vein" is nominally an official mine, but in fact, after the ore in it is mined, it all flows into Dong Zhuo's pocket, which belongs to a typical "official mine and private enterprise".

But first, most of the officials in Luoyang did not know about the existence of this iron mine; Second, even if there are people in the know, no one dares to talk nonsense, for fear of offending Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, during Dong Zhuo's reign, this mine has been operating well.

Until half a year ago, Dong Zhuo was killed by Huaxing, and the mine suddenly had no owner.

Later, Dong Zhuo's remnants were also wiped out by the little emperor Liu Xie, and this time the mine completely lost all its "upline".

In Liu Xie's vision, he didn't know that there was such a "private" mine.

Therefore, since the death of Dong Zhuo, this mine has been completely abandoned, and finally became a gathering place for thieves.

"Oh, so this is Dong Zhuo's 'private' mine?" Hearing this, Hua Xing finally understood what was going on.

"That's right! On the surface, it is in the name of a 'government mine', but in fact, all the output belongs to Dong Zhuo. Ordinary miners don't know about this matter, and I also heard the mine manager accidentally reveal it by chance. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Sheng, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke: "So, Luoyang doesn't know about the existence of this mining area at all?" ”

"That's right! In order to block the news, except for a few adults who issued official documents at that time, Dong Zhuo did not mention the matter to anyone. And the few adults who issued the official documents were all Dong Zhuo's henchmen. Now that he has either been sent to the frontier by the Holy Lord, or he has lost his head, no one in Luoyang City should know. ”

"Oh! Is it any wonder that no one has mined it for so long, and no one knows about its existence at all? ”

After nodding in understanding, he saw Tang Sheng turn his head to look at Hua Xing, and said with a little doubt:

"General, why did you suddenly ask about the mine today? Could it be ...... Are you also interested in iron ore? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Huaxing show a thick smile:

"Hehe, I'm not just interested today! I've actually been interested in this iron mine for a long time, but I've been busy with chicken eggs for a while now, and I can't pull away. ”

Speaking of this, he listened to Hua Xing's voice, turned his head to Zuo Feng with a look of excitement and asked:

"Lao Zuo, if you are asked to reopen the mine, are you confident that it will be completed?"

Hearing that Huaxing let him reopen the mine, Zuo Feng was really taken aback, frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded and replied:

"To tell the truth, the previous owner of the mine was a distant relative of Dong Zhuo. He didn't know anything, he didn't even want to come to the mines. Sometimes I only come to show up in a month or two, and I don't bother to care about anything. So, don't look at me as just a foreman, but in fact, I take care of all the big and small affairs in the mine. When it comes to faith, I certainly have. ”

After listening to Zuo Feng's words, Huaxing showed joy on the spot. Bai picked up a factory director and came back, it's no wonder he's unhappy!!

But before he could open his mouth to praise, he heard Zuo Feng continue:

"But it's not easy to open a mine, and there are three problems that need to be solved."
