In the following days, Yu Zhou had a good rest, the soreness in his shoulders made him miserable, and the two little girls were very sensible, and the hearts of taking care of him one after the other floated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yue Yue behind her was blowing on her shoulder, as if this could alleviate her brother's pain, Xiao Ran blinked her beautiful eyes and fed him, a girl with no heart and lungs could take care of people like this, which made Yu Zhou very happy, if Xiang Ji knew that his entrustment was reversed, he would definitely turn his face with him.

Really, why do you want to think about that guy in a good situation, or enjoy it more.

The slightly sweet citron has become an indispensable snack for the two little girls, this thing is a specialty of Huangshan, nutritious and spleen-invigorating, not to mention, it also has a miraculous effect on insect repellent, and the most important thing is that Yu Zhou likes to see the two little girls chewing like squirrels, and their cheeks are bulging, and they look happy.

"Ziji, don't pretend to be sick, look at what I brought you!"

was interrupted to enjoy the time, Yu Zhou was very unhappy, it was Dajiang who came, thanks to the blessing of the two of them, everyone's food has improved a lot recently, but the trap is really dangerous, this guy almost broke his hand several times, and the old leatherman never let him touch it again, and said that he would wait for his strength to grow.

Da Jiang's hands were empty, it seemed that he was a big guy, otherwise he would have brought it in to invite merit, and without waiting for Yu Zhou to reply, the two little girls jumped high and went outside to look.

"Brother Ziji, it's a deer!"

Yu Zhou was also very happy, he had promised his sister a long time ago, he would definitely take her to taste venison, he didn't expect to have a chance so soon, the deer is a treasure all over his body, the flesh and blood are very soft, and even the antlers can be used in medicine.

It's getting colder, so it's good to nourish it.

"What do the elders say?"

"Old Wei said let's keep some and then share them with everyone."

This is in line with the image of the old man who is cold and warm-hearted in front of others.

"Alright, leave the antlers behind!"

Meat and the like can't be stored for a long time, and deer antlers can still be used in medicine, Yu Zhou thought very practically.

The bonfire crackled, this was the first time everyone had a dinner since they went up the mountain, and Old Man Wei even contributed the only remaining wine to everyone to taste it.

Chen Ying is a natural social, he can talk and laugh with the villagers he brought, and he can also staggered with a few craftsmen, even when facing Wei Zhe, he is neither humble nor arrogant, with him threading the needle, this dinner is a happy one.

"Brother Chen, do we have enough food now?"

Han Cao and Song have their own specialties, and they have to count on them for their daily necessities, Wei Zhe will not bother with these trivial things, so if you really calculate it, Chen Ying is more like a big housekeeper, arranging everything on the mountain in an orderly manner.

"The grain can barely survive the winter, but fortunately, there are abundant treasures on this mountain, even all kinds of mountain fruit prey can be held for a while, but there is a little trouble."

"In order to survive the winter, everyone is busy hunting reserves, but there are many jackals in this barren mountains and mountains, and some people are seriously injured and come back the day before yesterday, Xiao Liuzi almost died in Shekou, which is really thrilling."

Chen Ying said that Yu Zhou has also heard, the current Yellow Mountain is called a barren mountain is not an exaggeration, sparsely populated everywhere crisis, choose to live here is to choose a road that competes with nature, the villagers have not less reclaimed wasteland is not less spoiled by wild boars, and even once Yu Zhou got up and looked at it at night.

"Aren't all Cao Bo's leather armor still kept, so I can only do more protection, and there is no other way."

"That's true, but it's useless to only have leather armor, and without a blade in hand, these jackals aren't afraid of ...... at all."

Speaking of this, Yu Zhou also made a difficulty, the copper and iron utensils were heavy and difficult to hold, and when everyone entered the mountain, they only prepared some farm tools, and the blades were really pitiful, so Lao Cao hoarded skins while hunting, and when Song faced the mountains and trees and his hands, Han blacksmith always sighed for a long time, saying that he had no place to use.

Although Huangshan is a good place to hide and retreat, but there are very few kinds of mineral deposits, even if there are not more than a dozen people can be mined, looking around, the nearest relatively large mine is Tongling, which is hundreds of miles away, of course, it is not called this name now.

Tongling has the oldest history of bronze mining, the earliest history of the Golden Bull Cave on the Phoenix Mountain can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Tonglu Mountain is known as the two oldest copper capitals, the last death of King Wu of Chu in the middle of the expedition, is to go to the Tonglu Mountain, this Phoenix Mountain with the same name, how can Da Chu let go?

Originally, when choosing a place of seclusion, Tongling and Ma'anshan were both within Yu Zhou's consideration, but later I felt that after the Qin Emperor unified the world, salt and iron resources would inevitably become the top priority, so it was better to avoid them.

Yu Zhou spread out the map, pointed to the location of Tongling and asked, "Brother Chen, have you heard anything here?" ”

After Chen Ying took a closer look through the firelight, he said: "Isn't this Lingyang, the first Sanlu doctor Qu Yuan was exiled here, and it is deserted here, what are you doing with it?" ”

Yu Zhou's eyes fell, and the population was barren? A world-class copper mine was not used by the Chu State at all? How can it be!

Seeing Yu Zhou's incredulous appearance, Chen Ying continued: "There are indeed some small copper mines here, but since the defeat of King Xiang, they have been slowly abandoned, but the villagers who live here are deeply affectionate. ”

Yu Zhou squinted his eyes, carefully considering the possibility of using it, and after thinking about it carefully, he continued to ask, "When was this place abandoned?" ”

"It's not abandoned, there aren't many mineral deposits here, so there has never been a county government, why did the sub-period suddenly become interested here?"

Yu Zhou's brain was running rapidly, the country of Chu was vast and rich, and this kind of slightly remote place was not in his eyes if he didn't pay close attention to it, otherwise how could it be regarded as a place of exile.

The development of Tongling in later generations began from the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty set up the only "Tongguan Mansion" here, specific mining and smelting, until the Sui and Tang Dynasties flourished, Li Bai once left a magnificent poem of "the furnace fire illuminates the world, the red star is chaotic purple smoke".

Although the Golden Bull Cave has been mined early, the specific legend is only a few hundred years old, otherwise with the domineering of the Qin Emperor, how not to include this place as the top priority.

All kinds of signs show that the Lingyang copper mine has not been taken seriously, and there is indeed the possibility of letting everyone use it, but now the problem is that there are too few people and the transportation is inconvenient.

"Brother Chen, I won't hide it from you now, the copper ore there is far more than we imagined, if we collect ore here, how long will it take to come back and forth, and how much can it be transported?"

Chen Ying frowned and said: "It can take six or seven days to go back and forth, with our manpower, at most six or seven hundred catties can be transported at a time, what, what do you think?" ”

Six or seven hundred catties, it seems that the ore is a bit fantastical, if I am not mistaken, the ore of Tongling is mostly known for its chalcocite, this thing is not only inconvenient to transport, but also needs to be smelted by pyrometry to become copper, and it is really a matter of half the effort to transport it back and then get it again.

At this moment, the Han blacksmith next to him spoke: "Yu Wa'er, are you sure that there is copper to be mined in that place?" ”

Yu Zhou nodded, of course there is, he is afraid that he will be on guard after being discovered by Da Chu.

"That's good, anyway, I'm uncomfortable on the mountain, let me take someone to check, if it's really as you said, I'll live there, we have to make more plans for the future, as long as there is copper, even coins I can mint!"
