Three hours later, surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, one hundred and twenty adult armored rhinos were slaughtered, and one hundred and twenty adult armored rhinos could be made into six hundred sets of rhino armor!

After killing the armored rhinoceros, the sun had set, Wei Li arranged for the soldiers to camp and prepare to return to the royal capital the next day!

Time flies, day by day......

Wei Li returned to the royal capital the day after killing the armored rhino, and also had the skin of the armored rhinoceros processed to make black rhino armor.

Now the Dashanling silver and copper mine has been surrounded by the Xiahoude military camp and set up as a forbidden land, the Dashanling silver and copper mine, 400 laborers can dig out 400 stones of silver ore and 400 stones of copper ore every day, and their task is to dig one stone of silver ore and one stone of copper ore per person a day.

Twenty ox carts can only transport about 60 stones of ore each time, and they are transported to the Lianyin Division and Lian Copper Division in the royal capital, and it takes at least six days to go back and forth, that is to say, it takes six days to refine 60 stones of silver and copper ore each.

Due to the high silver and copper content of the ore in the Great Mountain Ridge, reaching a terrifying fifty percent, six days can refine thirty stone copper, thirty stone silver, equivalent to two silver, a total of 36,000 taels, after refining, but also need to be made into various weights of silver ingots, which turn around, it is estimated that a month can produce up to 100,000 taels of silver!

But this is not bad, at least there is a regular income every month, so that you will not become poor.

In the thirteenth year of Zhengyun, February 1, Nanyang County, Baiku County!

"Master, can you take me in, I will build sharp weapons, more powerful weapons, and will also create weapons that are conducive to siege, if you take me in, when I am on the rise, I will be returned a thousand times!"

"Go, don't bother the master, bother the master again, and report to the official!"

In a coppersmith shop in Baiku County, a beggar in his thirties, with a discarded hair, a face covered with dirt and a foul smell, was begging the master craftsman of the coppersmith shop for something, but apparently understood from the words that the master craftsman did not pay attention, but drove away with great disgust.

In the eyes of the craftsman, the beggar in front of him is a cheating person who eats and drinks, and also creates sharp weapons and siege equipment.

The beggar didn't seem to give up, and immediately stretched out his hand to grab the craftsman's copper hammer, "Let me try it, try it out!" ”

"Big bull, second cow, someone stirs up trouble, make him!" The master craftsman burst into applause, and immediately two burly shirtless men rushed out and directly picked up the beggar, which was a punch.

"Smack! Peng! "Two burly men punched each other, and the beggar was star-eyed!

"Dead beggar, is this the place for you to stir up trouble? Get out of here! A man directly threw the thin beggar three or four meters away and threw it directly out of the coppersmith shop.

"Ahem!" The beggar coughed, covered his sore face and slowly got up from the street, and many people passing by around looked at the beggar with a trace of puzzlement, feeling that this beggar was too ignorant of current affairs, and everyone called them away, and went to rob the guy who was eating.

The beggar walked to the coppersmith shop again, panting, and said in a reluctant tone: "Why, I will really build the sharpest weapon in the world, and I will also build the strongest weapon in the world, as long as you give me a mouthful of food and clothing, I am willing to build the treasure of the town store for you!" ”

"Look at you are not very young and not very young, why are you so arrogant, hurry up, don't disturb the master to do business, this small shop can't accommodate you, no, you are the master, the uncle, the small shop can't accommodate you as an uncle, let's go, let's go!" The master craftsman looked impatient and disgusted, and kept making gestures to drive people away.

The burly shirtless man named Da Niu Er Niu next to him immediately looked at the beggar with fierce eyes.

"Whew!" The beggar exhaled heavily, "Why don't you believe me, if I hadn't been victimized by a traitor, how could I talk nonsense with you here, just don't believe it, there is no place for me in the world!" ”

After the beggar finished speaking, he turned around and left with a lonely expression, and the master craftsman looked at the back of the beggar leaving, and fell into deep thought, "Whew! Finally, he took a deep breath and immediately shouted, "Wait! ”

When the beggar heard this, he immediately turned around, hurriedly ran to the master craftsman, and said with a smile on his face; "Master, do you want to take me in?"

"No, there are already three families of twelve people to raise, and if you come to another one, you won't be able to tolerate it, listening to your tone, like a literati, and not a liar who cheats to eat and drink, in this way, if you really have superb craftsman skills, you go to the Wangdu Ordnance Division, my friend will work there, I heard that there are recruiting skilled craftsmen, and the minimum monthly salary is one hundred yuan, which is converted into grain, that is, about three stones, you can do it yourself!" The craftsman kindly reminded.

"Ordnance Division? 100 cents a month? The beggar raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of surprise on his face, he had just come to Wei not long ago, but he also knew the purchasing power of Wei State's money, one hundred wen money was enough to buy three stones of grain, which could feed a family of three for three months!

He was not surprised at the amount of money, but at the high wages of a craftsman!

"Thank you, master, if I am on a steady journey, I will be rewarded a thousand times in the future!" The beggar bent down with a hint of gratitude on his face, completely forgetting how he had been beaten.

"Haha, go, go!" The master craftsman laughed awkwardly.

Exile City, Palace, Library Pavilion!

"Changgong, now that Wei is rarely ushering in a period of peace, every day and every hour is extremely precious, and it must be used well to become greatly powerful!" Wei Li sat high in the king's chair and said expressionlessly.

Meng Ge, who was standing not far in front of Wei Li, couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

"Now there is still some grain in the treasury, so take out 300,000 stones, recruit hungry and displaced people everywhere, give land for resettlement, and do your best to expand the population!" Wei Li was still expressionless, and said indifferently.

The more the population, the more the labor force, and the larger the size of the army, of course, the premise is that there is enough food security, and the good of the displaced people and the hungry people is the sword of benefiting the country, and if it is not used well, it will be the root cause of the chaos of the country.

"No!" Meng Ge nodded in response.

It didn't take long for Meng Ge to leave the library pavilion, and after Meng Ge left, Wei Li's expression sank, and he felt a pressure in his heart inexplicably.

"Alas!" Wei Li sighed lightly!

Seeing Wei Li like this, Si Zhong next to him couldn't help but bend down in confusion and asked softly; "What's the matter, Your Majesty, is there something troublesome about you?"

"Hah!" Wei Li chuckled, as if smiling; "Si Zhong, it's not strange for you to say, Wei Guo obviously defeated Yue Guo in exchange for stability, but why can't Gu be happy, he always feels depressed!" ”
