This place, called Bobrikov.

Friends who still have impressions should know that this is a gold mining area. Although Bobrikov's reserves are not very large, they are very strong in modern mining methods. In ancient times, when manpower was needed to dig pits, a gold mine was already strong.

You don't see two silver mines in Vienna, one in Krakow, and two in Salzburg and Prague. Spain, on the other hand, relied on the Potosí silver mines in Peru for a while. To have a mine is to have money.

As a businessman, Zhang Qi would never give up such a big treasure. When Qin Cang mentioned the place of Bobrikov, Zhang Qi was looking for it. Sure enough, not far southwest of the connecting port, he discovered this unremarkable mine.

It's a barren mountain with no people, not even grass. Zhang Qi soon found bare stones at the foot of the mountain. He knew it wasn't just a stone, it represented a vein!

After marking the place, Zhang Qi turned around and left. Now is not the time to be easily exposed.

And in Chizhou, a new wave of planning began.

The fourth exchange, speaking of which, excluding the first irregular exchange, should be the third.

Qin Cang discussed with Meng Zhuoyan and the others for a long time before determining the future development, that is, the actual exchange. Except for Qiao Su, no one knew about the existence of the exchange.

"First of all, open up the connecting port, that's a terrible name! Well, open up the connecting port, since Zhang Qi has already recruited the Tatars there to open coal fields to transport coal to the connected port, let him speed up again. We'll soon be gathering a bunch of merchant ships to haul coal.

One more point. Luo Shengzhi has said several times, I hope we will send more people to let him explore the Taman Peninsula. Now is also the time. Choose more people to go to the other side of Linhaiwei to cultivate. Also, it's time for the Duchy of Morea to take over. Chu Jing made two more cannons with relatively smooth walls and sent them over. Anyway, we've sent half of the artillery as well. ”

Maybe he was in a better mood these days, and Meng Zhuoyan didn't speak so impulsively.

"Then, we need to send someone to receive the Duchy of Morea! This requires a strong character! At the very least, you can do things without chaos and do things skillfully. Also, I think we need someone who is good at colonizing. These two talents are to be promoted. ”

"What about the rest, our property?" Qin Cang continued to ask.

"In the industry, the Jinjian has been complaining about the lack of looms, and the wood supervisors have a lot of work and have no time to make looms with complex structures. Everything else is fine. The other is Chu Jing of the Great Iron Prison. He has been asking for coal, but Zhang Qi has piled up the coal at the connecting port and cannot transport it back. Wang Rongfang interjected.

"Well, let's do it first."

Qin Cang prepared to leave after finishing the draft. However, before he reached the door, he was stopped by Qin Changan, looking at his happy face, something very good should have happened.

"Great joy! Zhang Qi's secret report has finally been sent back! The gold mine has been discovered! Just to the southwest of the Connecting Port! On a barren mountain! ”

Qin Changan's irrepressible joy was also transmitted to everyone present.

"Well, it looks like a gold mining team is needed." Qin Cang said with a smile.

After returning home, the three girls who had transformed into lazy insects were now more and more delicate. Much of the affairs of the house were left to the servants, and they nursed the babies in their beds.

After lunch, Qin Cang came to the inner treasury and the treasury under the cellar.

The Mercury Man reappears.

"Judging from the last transaction, you haven't been doing well lately!" The mercury man said with some disdain.

Indeed, in the first half of this year, Qin Cang was struggling to survive, and the tragic war and the long recovery time made Qin Cang's life more and more difficult.

"Not anymore. Next year is going to be a fantastic year. Forget it, don't mention so much, let's start with a population of 3,000. Qin Cang said with a smile. When the stress subsides, people become happier.

"Well, I haven't scored yet." The mercury man looked happy as he scanned his surroundings.

"You're doing a good job. Not just gold and silver coins, but old and expensive portraits will be worth a lot of money. With 24 million points, you're recovering well. The mercury man said.

"Well, unexpected! Looks like I could change a few more. ”

"I not only need a population of 3,000, but I also need two talents, both of whom are at the prime minister's level. A thing that is responsible for managing an enclave requires a strong comprehensive ability; The other is more out of the way, leaving him in charge of colonization. I need a real fight-and-fight, quick-witted person to take charge of colonizing things.

And then there are the wool looms, I remember a hundred thousand, right? I want a hundred. And then there's the gold mining team, you should have it for sale here, right? ”

"Of course there is, Shenghui two million points open."

"Cut."

........

In the end, this unexpectedly high score allowed Qin Cang to redeem everything he wanted. More than 500 Han cavalry were also attached.

Third redemption: 24 million points.

Xinzhou Mansion Yin - 100,000 points.

Director of the Colonial Bureau - 100,000 points.

1,000 colonies (open up connected ports), 1,000 colonies (belong to Linhai County, develop right Haiwei), 1,000 colonies (Xinzhou Province) 9 million.

There are 100 Jinjian looms, 100,000 looms, 10 million.

Gold Mining Group - 2 million, 500 professional workers, specialized gold mining equipment.

Han cavalry - one in 5,000, 560 men.

——————

In October, the pale blue waters of the Sea of Azov appear silent and leisurely, and dozens of flat-bottomed boats line up on the sea to connect ports, led by four large ships.

Zhang Qi has been waiting here for a long time. This time, he personally led the team with the old black pot face Qin Chang'an.

Zhang Qi did not stay in Donetsk for long. With the support of the Gudil Ministry and sufficient financial resources for all kinds of goods, Zhang Qi recruited more than 700 Tatar men and women to drive to Donetsk in a carriage in only four days.

To be honest, it was actually the time when the Tatars went north en masse, and most of the people who remained in the country were women and men who protected them. So it's easy for them to recruit when they have nothing to do.

After the distribution of iron tools, the Tatars were able to work well, and soon pulled carts and wagons to pull up coal from the port.

The only problem is that the distance from Donetsk to the port of connection is a bit long, and the road conditions are not good.

There is also the fact that Donetsk was given another name by the famous Zhang Qi.

It's called Shini Town.
