Chapter 700: Iron Ore Farm

"Erlang, the soldiers have traveled thousands of miles, and they don't have to be too harsh on the boats. It's just that seasickness is too difficult, and it seems that you need to train diligently. ”

Fang Jun suddenly realized, how could he forget this stubble? He put down his horsewhip and felt a little embarrassed, so he glared and said, "What is seasickness?" Dizzy, dizzy, get used to it! ”

Leaving Liu Renliang, Liu Renyuan, and Xi Junmai staring at each other, they were all speechless.

Seasickness is indeed a thing that makes you get used to it, but when you get used to it, it is estimated that people will be wasted......

Fang Jun said ruthlessly, after all, he was not a hard-hearted person, and he rested at the dock for most of the day, and then urged him to go on the road.

He kept sighing to the soldiers: "It's not the material to be a general, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, his heart is too soft, and he is ......."

The three generals followed behind him with their faces stiffened and did not speak.

I don't know who just said that I was dizzy, and I was dizzy...... Is this called soft-heartedness? Seasickness is a fatal thing, but everyone knows how uncomfortable it is, and the iron-beaten man can't stand being dizzy for three or two days, and when he gets used to the dizziness, the skin has to fall off...... How ruthless this has to be!

This time, I also brought a lot of materials needed for the construction of the iron factory, most of which were refractory materials, and a large amount of food and food, after all, so many people's food consumption every day is huge. Leaving the large army to watch the ship, the rest of the company soldiers and craftsmen, a total of more than 200 people, carried the materials on horseback in one piece, and went up the mountain.

War horses carried supplies, people led horses, and walked with difficulty.

Cuiluo Mountain is close to the Yangtze River, and the river breeze blows endlessly all year round, and there are not too many fog miasma common in the mountains of the south of the Yangtze River. The forest is dense and verdant, and the mountain streams are murmuring, although it is only a small mountain bag, far less majestic than the majestic and upright mountains in Guanzhong, but there is also a deep and quiet solemnity.

Along a stream upstream, the path next to the stream has not been walked for many years, covered with thick dead leaves, and there is a slight sound when you step on it, and from time to time there will be snakes, insects, rats and ants are awakened, and they flee in fear and helplessness......

The further you go up the mountain, the more lush the trees become. The huge canopy of trees stretched out to obscure the sky above the river, and the dense foliage vines grew unbridledly, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the dense forest was dark and damp.

The more Fang Jun walked, the more he sighed, the undeveloped Jiangnan region, this most primitive state is no worse than those rainforests in the Amazon. It's just that when humans see the fertility of this land, they will begin to use infinite wisdom to conquer it, and at the same time, they will also show unparalleled destructive power.

In fact, in this era, this conquest has already begun one after another.

One hand is the reproduction of human civilization, and the other hand is the natural gift of God, which one is more important, no one has the most standard answer. I just hope that when human beings continue to seize the living space of various creatures, they can take more care of their homeland, and don't wait until the day when they are in a desperate situation to know that we have destroyed ourselves with our own hands......

Gradually, tall trees began to sparse, more and more blue sky overhead, and people's hearts were opened. Walking in the dark dense forest for a long time will greatly affect people's psychological emotions, depression, irritability, fear, and finally when they see the blue sky overhead, they are swept away, greedily breathing the air full of sunshine.

Han Ben stretched out his hand and pointed to the hillside in the distance: "That's our iron factory!" ”

Fang Jun built a pergola with his hands and looked at it with his eyes.

Outside of this dense forest, there are few tall trees, just a few low shrubs and thick weeds, spread a thick layer on the earth, stretching all the way to the slightly undulating slopes in the distance.

A huge pit visible to the naked eye on the hillside, revealing a black-brown interior, resembling a huge scar on a turquoise carpet, ugly and hideous. Human civilization is always incompatible with nature, birth and destruction, progress and destruction, and always cannot be harmoniously unified......

The brigade began to march towards the hillside.

Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, it seems that the hillside is close in front of you, but it has been walking for an hour.

By the time we reached the pit on the hillside, the setting sun was already radiating a brilliant afterglow, and the team of nearly two hundred people was exhausted. At the edge of the pit, two blast furnaces erected next to each other have built more than a dozen sturdy wooden houses, which are reserved for the gradual increase of craftsmen and mine guards to live in.

The craftsmen at home didn't think there was a need for such fanfare, just to come and mine, and it remains to be seen how many mines can be used to make good iron, and it is obviously unwise to make such a big battle at one time.

Fang Junli resolutely built this place as the most important iron factory of the Fang family from now on, all the equipment is the best, and all the logistics must be given the most perfect guarantee.

Just kidding, if this is not the best iron factory, where else can Datang build an iron factory? As it turned out, Fang Jun was right. Since exploring in this area according to Fang Jun's instructions, he has discovered three or four huge iron ore veins that can be mined in the open pit, and the quality is enough to meet Fang Jun's requirements.

A stream of water poured down from the top of the mountain with a dense forest, and due to the large difference in terrain, the water flow was very turbulent, and the iron factory was built on the bank of the stream, and Fang Jun was very satisfied with this. Maximizing the use of water resources is his philosophy, and it seems that it has been inherited by the craftsmen of the Fang family.

This is probably the area of Nanshan Square in later generations, right?

Fang Jun looked at these four terrains, and his heart felt an inexplicable sadness......

The first love in my last life was an Anhui girl. It's not the amazing kind, but it's very delicate, and the personality is good, and it's not so enthusiastic financially, and it looks otherworldly, but it's actually very real. Although Anhui women are relatively gentle, they can not only be good wives and mothers, but also good friends. Fang Jun remembers that after they broke up, they would get together from time to time and care about each other's lives.

It was this girl who grew up in the mountains of southern Anhui Province that let Fang Jun know that there were more than fifty-six ethnic minorities in our country. The first census in 1953 required that all ethnic groups be allowed to report their own ethnic names in accordance with the principle of "name follows master". Unexpectedly, there are more than 400 ethnic names registered nationwide, and there are more than 260 ethnic names in Yunnan alone.

What surprised Fang Jun even more was that not all Han people were Han Chinese......

Later, according to the text, language, history, culture and other factors, the names of many ethnic groups were integrated, and it was not until the fourth census in 1990 that 56 ethnic groups were officially identified, including 55 ethnic minorities.

Too many sparsely populated nations have been annihilated in history, crushed by the rolling wheels of history, and finally forgotten by the world.

It was also from the girl of his first love that Fang Jun knew that a certain nation that had long disappeared in the 21st century had long maintained the tradition of tattooing a mysterious pattern on a woman's body.

Therefore, Fang Jun was able to recognize the identity of Miss Mingyue in the Chang'an Drunken Immortal Building......

After resting for the night, Fang Jun inspected the mine and iron factory in the early morning of the next day, accompanied by Han Ben. It is recognized that China's iron ore is of poor quality all over the world, but it was enough for the iron smelting industry more than a thousand years ago. It's not to make some precision instruments, why do you need such high-quality steel? Moreover, even if there is high-quality iron ore, Fang Jun can't refine all kinds of alloy steel......

As long as the exploitation is convenient and the reserves are abundant, it is sufficient.

Luckily, the mine is very good in terms of quality reserves and mining conditions, and when you open up the thin crust and rock, there is black magnetite, and even a yellowish associated copper ore, which is a surprise.

The blast furnace of the iron factory was built according to Fang Jun's drawings, and there are mountains and fields of kaolin, which is the best refractory material.

"The nearby mountains will all be classified under the name of the Fang family, except for the wharf hanging under the name of the Dongdatang firm, the iron factory and the mine are all ours, the terrain near this will be leveled, and the scale of the iron factory will be expanded, so where are the two iron-making furnaces enough? At least twenty! Also, there are several porcelain kilns built along the hillside, and if there are no craftsmen, they will be recruited at a high price, anyway, everything produced by our family can be bought at a high price, so don't be reluctant to invest. ”

Fang Jun stood in front of the iron factory with high spirits, like a great man after a thousand years, and his fingers drew a circle in mid-air......
