Volume 1 ● The Recalcitrant People Chapter 49 Abandoned Spirit Stone Mine
"Anu, arrange it, I'm going to mine iron ore." As soon as they met, Guo Yang directly explained his thoughts.
"Okay, I'll arrange it, young master." Anu said.
"Also, another group of people are needed to secretly mine the spirit stone mine." Guo Yang said with a deep groan, he has always had some worries about the mining of the spirit stone mine, worried that it would be leaked out.
Anu was silent for a while, and said: "Let's go back and take a look at the scene, we have to design a set of mining tools, otherwise, there will be too many people, and the matter of the spirit stone mine will leak out sooner or later." ”
Guo Yang nodded, and said with a smile: "Anu, you know my mind more and more." ”
Anu smiled innocently, a little embarrassed: "Young master, you won't let others know about iron ore, right?" ”
"Strict confidentiality. This is the only resource that will make us a lot of money in the future, and we must not let anyone know about it. Guo Yang Zhengse said.
"Well, that's good, Anu is still worried that Wang Huzi and others will be involved in iron ore mining." Anu laughed.
"You don't seem to like him." Guo Yang said.
"It's not that I don't like him, but I dislike him." Anu said lightly.
Guo Yang didn't seem to want to say anything, smiled, sat down slowly, and picked up a cup of wine: "Anu, the grain and cured meat are enough, right?" ”
"Enough, there is a slight surplus of grain now, and I have stored everything except wine. As for bacon, I distributed all the cattle and pigs per capitation, and asked them to pledge to pay the amount to the stockade, and the excess to themselves. Everyone is highly motivated, and there is no need to worry about running out of meat at all. ”
Anu's approach was also forced to do so, because, with the rapid increase in the amount of grain and livestock, some Tianshuizhai people began to have ideas. Those who have men in their families think that their families do more work than the old people and children, so they should distribute more food and meat.
When Anu told Guo Yang about his decision, Guo Yang was silent for several days. Originally, he could have prevented this from happening, but Anu insisted that there might be good things in the bad.
Guo Yang acquiesced to this method of production and distribution, and as long as it allowed everyone to live, he thought he could make any compromises.
……
Guo Yang and Anu stayed in the Lingshi Mine for two days and two nights, surveying the entire mine in detail and drawing dozens of sketches.
"This should be a vein of spirit stones, but it has already been mined." Anu said with certainty.
"Mined? It doesn't look like there's any sign of an axe. Guo Yang was a little surprised, he had dug many spirit stones in this cave, but he didn't find this.
"It must have been mined, and the quality of the original spirit stone mines should be higher, and the spirit stones left behind are abandoned by others." Anu used a sharp iron tool to pry open several rocks inlaid with spirit stones, revealing several even inferior spirit stones.
"It looks like an abandoned mine." Guo Yang compared several spirit stones repeatedly, and said a little depressed.
The treasure that he regarded as a peerless secret turned out to be an abandoned mine in ancient times! Then, there is no doubt that there were cultivators in ancient times.
Moreover, there are all kinds of signs that the cultivation conditions of other people are much better than Guo Yang, and it can be seen from this waste mine that this kind of sporadic spirit stone mine is not worth mining at all.
Guo Yang was stunned and held a few pieces of spirit stone mines in his hands, a little distracted.
"What's sad, even a scrap mine is a treasure to you. You have to know that what our high priest of the Di people want most is this kind of dizzying spirit stone. But this kind of ore is a disaster for non-cultivators, not only will they not get any benefits, but they will also slowly die because they can't stand the mysterious power inside the stone. ”
Anu rarely talked about the sacrifices of the Di people, and Guo Yang never inquired about them.
"The High Priest is also a cultivator?" Guo Yang asked with a deep groan.
"No, it should be said that the cultivator is the high priest." Anu finished speaking lightly, turned around and left, seemingly not wanting to continue talking about the topic at all.
Guo Yang shook his head and had no choice but to follow.
"I'm going to let the craftsman make some digging tools, and when the time comes, I'll help you, and the two of us will mine together." Anu seemed to be in a bad mood and said lazily.
"Anu, are you alright?" Guo Yang noticed that something was wrong with Anu, so he asked with concern.
"Young master, it's okay......" Anu suddenly fell to the ground, his face was sallow, and his breath was a little unstable.
Guo Yang was taken aback, hugged Anu horizontally, unfolded his body, and soon came to his new cave.
Gently placing Anu on a leopard skin, Guo Yang poured a bowl of water, held Anu's shoulder, and poured him two mouthfuls of water.
Anu slowly woke up at this time, looking at Guo Yang's concerned expression, Anu's eyes moistened.
"Young master, Anu is useless, I'm causing you trouble." Anu said weakly.
He was used to being strong, and suddenly became weak, which made Guo Yang a little at a loss.
"Anu, what's going on?" Guo Yang frowned and asked.
"It's those spirit stones, and the mysterious power in them will make ordinary people unbearable." Anu said.
"That's ......," Guo Yang said with a frown.
Guo Yang didn't know much about cultivating the truth, even if he had cultivated the authentic cultivation exercises, he was still a little confused. Secularly martial arts, it is said that when it reaches the high depths, there is the so-called true qi, so what is the cultivation of the truth?
In addition to being powerful, it can drive away qi and improve physical fitness, Guo Yang really doesn't know what the so-called Xiuzhen is cultivating. However, seeing Anu being injured by the spirit stone, it should be a special energy, and ordinary physique can't withstand this kind of power, so it can only be harmed.
Guo Yang was puzzled, so he simply didn't think about it.
"Anu, come, I'll teach you the true exercises." Guo Yang said.
"Young Master...... I've heard that only people with special physiques can practice the True Cultivation Method, but I'm afraid I can't. Anu said weakly.
"Whatever, let's cultivate first." Guo Yang didn't care whether Anu's physique could be cultivated or not, and directly began to teach him introductory exercises and formulas.
Anu no longer shirked, and began to practice according to the introductory mental method passed on by Guo Yang.
After a day and a night, a hearty laugh came from Guo Yang's cave: "Haha, Anu, you guy is really good, your cultivation speed is faster than mine!" ”
"Young master, Anu, thank you!" Anu wanted to get up and salute, but Guo Yang gently pressed his shoulder.
"Anu, you are my most important friend." Guo Yang said seriously.
"Young Master......" Anu choked up a little.
……
Anu can also practice the cultivation of the true exercises, and many plans need to be adjusted.
Guo Yang also made a cave for Anu near his cave and directly asked Anu to move over. Anu didn't say anything, some things didn't need to be said at all, and some kindness couldn't be said at all.
Near the mine, a spacious cavern was quickly cleared, and the craftsmen were secretly transferred to it and began to work day and night.
A complete set of mining tools has been designed and manufactured, coarse wood, after careful calculation and design, with the iron parts provided by Guo Yang, can be worth the work of hundreds of miners day and night.
With the mining tools, Guo Yang and Anu mined the spirit stone at an astonishing speed, and in less than half a year, the abandoned spirit stone mine was emptied.
Nearly 20,000 spirit stones, enough for the two of them to cultivate for seven or eight years. With this huge wealth, Guo Yang was in a much better mood and began to prepare for the mining and smelting of iron ore.
The smelting technology is a core secret, and only Guo Yang Anu and the others know about it, as for the manpower, because there is no concern about the spirit stone mine, they can properly let go of their hands and feet.
Anu once again showed his extraordinary ability to coordinate and coordinate.
He transferred nearly 200 people from Tianshui Village and divided them into seven or eight small teams, each team was only responsible for one link, the charcoal burner did not know what the charcoal was used for, the ore miner did not know what the dark red stones were for, and the ore crushing did not know what they were doing.
In order to hide people's eyes, Anu also moved the site where the bacon was pickled into the mine, so that even if the people of Tianshui Village saw the tall chimney smoking day and night, they thought that Anu was refining bacon.
A large amount of wood was fired into charcoal, which was continuously brought into the mines, and a large amount of iron ore was mined by iron mining tools, fed into a set of special crushing tools, and finally, into three tall crucible furnaces.
"We found an ingredient that can be used to marinate bacon, not only to increase the storage time of bacon, but also to improve the taste of the meat." Anu inadvertently told those Tianshui Zhai people that he had to find a way to marinate the most delicious bacon in the world.
……
Fortunately, the life of the people of Tianshuizhai is rich, there is enough food and meat every day, and few people care about what others are doing.
With advanced farming tools, the crops were quickly done, and the animals were put into a stake-fenced meadow with just a proper amount of sorghum every day.
The people of Tianshuizhai are idle, especially those families with sufficient labor, who do not need to work all day at all, but take out half a day in the morning or afternoon to finish the day's farm work.
They began to have their own fun, some of the entertainment methods and entertainment tools that Guo Yang once scorned were designed and made, under the shade of the trees, on the top of the mountain, in the cave, everywhere was the carefree laughter of the people of Tianshui Village.
Everyone is going to forget about Guo Yang and Anu, not to mention who else will be interested in their affairs.
The only one who was a little suspicious was Wang Huzi, but when he heard that Anu had moved in with Guo Yang, even if he had the courage to ask again.
Anu is too dangerous.
But the most dangerous is Guo Yang.
If it is said that Anu is a fierce leopard, then Guo Yang, the black merchant boy, is a half-asleep demon.
annoys Anu and stabs you in the stomach at most; annoyed Guo Yang, but he will regret it for life!
This deep impression accompanied Wang Huzi throughout his life.
