Liu Yuetian led the guards to two miles away, there is a small mountain bag more than 100 meters high here, covering an area of only a few miles, this small mountain bag itself is iron ore, and the ore extends to the ground at a distance of 100 zhang, which is simply an iron mountain.

The system scanned the hill in an instant, and the exposed pig iron content alone weighed millions of tons, plus the iron ore underground, directly exceeding 10 million tons.

Tens of millions of tons of pig iron, if converted into silver, can be worth fifty or sixty million taels, of course, no one will have so much silver, even if there is, it will not be exchanged for pig iron, but only with pig iron, you can exchange various commodities with other princes, which means wealth.

This nameless hill is more than a hundred miles away from Anding County, and it is possible to build a dock fort here, and these iron mines are on the ground, so it is completely possible to smelt raw iron and put it into production in a very short time.

When Liu Yuetian returned to Anding, he immediately organized a team of 1,000 people, including more than a dozen blacksmiths, to take what he needed to the nameless hill, a distance of only a hundred miles, and immediately began to mine ore after setting up camp.

It is very troublesome for ordinary people to mine ore, if you want to chisel down the hard ore, it is not possible to do it with hammer pliers, you need to first burn a large piece of mountain stone with a blazing fire, and then pour cold water on it, and then the mountain stone will crack after several times, and then chisel it down with a hammer, and the time spent is naturally continuous.

However, Liu Yuetian has gunpowder in his hand, he only needs to dig a hole in the mountain stone, and then pour in gunpowder, and after ignition, a stone will naturally crack, and dozens of tons of ore will be mined in a few days with this method, and the blacksmiths have already built a kiln for smelting pig iron, and they can smelt hundreds of catties of pig iron in a day without stopping.

Seeing the pig iron come out, everyone is happy, which means that there will be a steady stream of wealth and everyone can get a good income.

"It's still a small scale now, Brother Di, you have to get at least three thousand people to enter here as quickly as possible, these people must be loyal, and they can't leak this place."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will let my henchmen stay here again, and it will be absolutely foolproof."

Di Qing knew that this was a treasure trove, and as long as it was controlled in his hands, there would be a steady stream of wealth.

"Okay, I'll take care of the food and fresh water you need."

According to Liu Yuetian's prediction, the largest mining can produce 3,000 catties of pig iron every day, which is more than 400,000 catties a year, equivalent to nearly two million taels of silver, which can be called Liu Yuetian's largest money bag.

"It's good, with this mine, my pockets are much easier."

The mining work of this mine has just begun, and it will take at least half a year of construction to begin to take shape, and in this half year, the army that will meet Daqin is the most important, as long as this battle is won, then the chaos in the world will be delayed for at least a few years, as long as he is given a few years, when his foundation is fully established, even if all the princes unite he is not afraid.

Handan, the capital of Wei, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, sat in the palace and watched the secret letter that came.

Liu Yuetian...... Liu Yuan, Wang Qian, Liang Ji, and Gesar were all defeated in his hands, Liang Ji even lost his life, and gave the throne of the Great Zhou to Liu Che, what a big spirit, what a big spirit! is really a child, like Liu Yuetian! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, this Liu Yuetian has now occupied the three counties of Tianshui, Hongnong, and Anding, and Luoyang Zu Ti is also followed by an iron heart, and his strength is now no less than that of any of the princes, plus Liu Che occupies Chang'an, and the luck of this Great Zhou has recovered, so what should we do?"

A man below asked aloud.

"Cao Pi, what do you say about us?"

Cao Cao looked at the other party and asked.

"United Datang, let's destroy each other!"

Cao Pi said fiercely.

"United Datang? Will they be willing? ”

Cao Cao asked again.

"Datang is adjacent to Hongnong County, and I'm afraid it's not easier than us now."

Cao Pi replied.

"If we unite, how will this battle be fought?"

Cao Cao asked again.

"Of course, Datang is the main attack on Hongnong County, and we are the main attack on Luoyang, as long as these two places are occupied by us, Chang'an will not be attacked!"

Cao Pi replied.

"Then how long do you expect it will take us to capture Luoyang and Hongnong?"

Cao Cao asked.

"This .........!"

Cao Pi frowned.

Luoyang has more than 100,000 elite soldiers after more than ten years of painstaking management by Zu Ti, of course, the Great Wei now has an army of more than 400,000, crushing the other party in terms of numbers, if this ratio, Cao Pi is confident that Luoyang will not be captured in a month.

However, now there is a variable, that is, Zu Li has a powerful weapon, a few months ago Zhang Liao made a tentative attack, and as a result, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed by this weapon when Duluo River was wiped out, and the other party did not lose a single hair.

This weapon is a kind of crossbow arrow, the arrow is no different from the arrow used in other crossbow arrows, but in the hands of Zu Ti is a sharp weapon for killing, this is obviously out of the crossbow weapon used, Dawei tried all means to get this kind of crossbow arrow, but so far it has not been successful, with this kind of weapon, Cao Pi is not sure whether he can take Luoyang in a month, but from the news he has obtained, this kind of crossbow arrow is only three or four thousand, as long as it is properly prepared, Cao Pi thinks that it is still certain in a month and a half to two months.

"Father, I think we will be able to capture Luoyang in two months at most, and even if the Tang Dynasty can't capture Hongnong at that time, we can go straight to Hongnong from Luoyang, so that Liu Yuetian will be attacked on his back, and a battle can be decided."

Cao Pi is full of confidence.

"Haha, my son! You think well, take Luoyang in two months, don't forget that there is still Nurhachi's evil wolf behind our buttocks, as long as we send troops to attack Luoyang now, Nurhachi will rush up and bite us hard tomorrow, you say, what should we do at this time? ”

Cao Pi couldn't answer this question.

Now the situation in the world is like this, the princes of all parties are intrigued, especially the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei, they are located in the core area of the Central Plains, the economy is very developed, but there are also great hidden dangers, that is, surrounded by the Great Qin and the Great Qing, the Great Qin is better, after all, Luntai City is far away, and it will take two months to arrive by sending troops, but the Great Qing Dynasty is different, once the Qing troops attack, if they are not blocked, they can reach Luohe in four or five days.

Nurhachi was ambitious and had long wanted to invade the Central Plains, and the strength of the Qing soldiers was definitely among the top few among the princes, and it was even possible to rank second, the first was the Qin army, and the second was the Qing Dynasty.

So as Cao Cao said, once the Great Wei sent troops to attack Luoyang, it would be good if Luoyang could be captured in just a few days, but after a long time, Nurhachi reacted, and with his character, he would never let go of this opportunity, you fight Luoyang, I will dig your lair, this war is meaningless.
