Chapter 473 [Wu Yue's First Ore Vein]

Gongzi Shun used to be very aggrieved, and the good captain didn't let him do it, but asked him to be a mouse that drilled into the ground, and I don't know what Bai Zi thought. He's an expert in tomb robbing, yes, but he's not an expert in mineral prospecting, shouldn't this kind of work be done by someone like Ou Yeliang? Ou Yeliang is a world-famous iron-smelting swordsmith, isn't it? This son is still from a noble background, and he really doesn't want to do this kind of dark work anymore

Let's see what kind of mountain this is, right? Stone Mountain! What kind of holes were dug up? Stone Cave! I don't know how far I walked, and then I found a relatively soft land, but I have dug it down for seven or eight feet, where did I see the kind of rock that Bai Dong said? The old brothers under him have been complaining for a long time, and he is about to go crazy, and now whenever he can't hold on, he can only think about Bai Dong's promise to him, 'Find the kind of ore I want, and produce one hundred in the future, which is the reward for you and these old brothers, and you will have your own sea ship in the future and be the captain yourself!" This ship is called 'Gongzi Shun', you can go wherever you like, in the future, you are willing to go to the sea to be a robber, as long as you don't rob us Huaxia, I will treat it as if I didn't see it"

"Did I hear me right? You are the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven, the contemporary Baizi, the earl of the Son of Heaven, and you are famous and rich. You, you actually support me to be a robber at sea? I'm a nobleman. That day, Gongzi was very graceful, and he also straightened his chest in front of Bai Dong.

"Don't talk nonsense with me, you're a shabby, what kind of aristocrat are you? If you really promise to be a nobleman, you should follow etiquette, and you will become a tomb robber? The tomb robbers couldn't do it anymore, so they ran away to be water bandits? But what's the point of being a water bandit? Looking at the sea is what a big man should do! Do a good job. Just help me find the ore I need. The book will never break its word. will give you a two-story ship, covered with iron armor, full of food, bows and arrows, and sailors, with which you can become the greatest robber of the seas."

"Shiroko, are you sure you're not crazy? Can pirates be great too? "Gongzishun's eyes were straight when he heard it, and he knew from the time he was sensible that whoever was contaminated with the words 'thief' and 'thief' was the most despicable person. Not even as good as the slaves of the old days, this white son actually said that robbers can become great? If Bai Zi didn't go crazy, then he must have heard it wrong, this thing is too subversive of values.

"If you want, you can! When the Age of Sail begins, Huaxia will be in great need of a pirate king, if you want, go for it."

"I don't dare, others don't know, but I know how miserable Pang Juan was pitted."

"You should keep your eyes peeled and then take a closer look. Is Pang Juan really miserable now? Now in the Western Regions, he is like a god of war. In the days to come, he will create an unprecedented great cause, since he came to the Qin State, he has always been very satisfied, and now even Wei Ying's change of mind will not be able to pull him away. ”

"Didn't you really cheat me?"

"Don't worry, I'm not lying, but to get the best ships and my support, do your part first. Jurong Mountain is handed over to you, don't let me down. ”

I remember that Bai Dong took out a stone chip from his arms and handed it to him, this is actually a stone chip that is not ordinary anymore, anywhere, you only need to walk a few steps casually to find it, but in the section of the stone piece, Bai Dong drew some black lines with an ink pen, as if the dragon snake was winding, straight into the stone: "Go, look for a place in Jurong where you can dig this kind of ore, if you see this kind of rock under the ground ten zhang deep, you have succeeded, because it is not an ordinary rock, but yours." Childe Shun'"

As a professional tomb robber, Childe Shun and his old brother were able to dig a cave large enough to accommodate a small army from the crack in the stone if they wished, and as for how big the cave was, it depended on how good he wanted to be; The declining aristocracy who had been stimulated by the 'Childe Shun' had now fully figured it out, and he looked like a model worker, and under his painstaking management, the cave expanded on all sides and downwards on the other, and under the light of torches, he and his skilful team were able to find the softest soil every time they picked up a shovel, expanding his underground 'kingdom' every moment.

Ten zhang!

It was already ten zhang deep, and Gongzishun, who was a little disappointed, suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "Ore, it's the kind of ore we are looking for!" ”

Childe Shun rushed to the old brother's side like a madman, and at a glance, he saw a vein that had protruded from the surface, revealing some of the stones outside, and sure enough, there was the kind of black stone vein that Bai Dong had depicted.

It succeeded, more than a month of digging day and night, countless failures, and finally they found it! At this moment, in the eyes of these men covered in mud, these are not stones, they are golden red gold and white swaying silver, and they are the two-story ship 'Gongzi Shun' towering on the sea!

***

Ou Yeliang and Mo Xian looked at Gongzi Shun who came out of the soil, and they both gasped. Is this still human? Wrapped in thick linen cloth from head to toe, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a monster that suddenly emerged from the ground, and finally the two eyes of this thing are still smart, proving that he is a clear-minded intelligent creature, and shouted at the two: "I am Gongzi Shun!" I found the vein that Bai Zi wanted, and it was my ship."

What kind of mess is this, Ouyang Liang and Mo Xian shook their heads, and at the same time felt a chill on the back of their necks. Who is Childe Shun? was once a descendant of the nobility, a ruthless man who was a tomb robber and a water bandit, but he was such a ruthless character, look at what it looks like to be tossed by Baizi? The two of them searched all the way in the direction indicated by Bai Dong, and they didn't know how many of these potholes were seen on the road, so it can be seen that Gongzi Shun hadn't seen a few days in more than a month! As soon as the cloth towel used to cover the mouth and nose was removed, the face was miserable and white, almost like a living dead.

"Someone, bring wine." Ou Yeliang sighed, took the wine bag from the guard's hand and handed it to Gongzishun, and at the same time took the ore from Gongzishun's hand, looked at it carefully, and sighed: "What a pure silver mine." ”

"It's time to change my big ship!"

Gongzishun was helped to the ground by several old brothers, and suddenly felt that his feet were weak. It's really untenable. He simply lay on the ground like a mouse and cheered: "What a big ship." I'm the captain of the ship from today onwards, the captain of the Childe Shun! Let Ma Qiao be my first mate, wahaha! "The 'eccentric' title of the captain and first mate naturally comes from Bai Dong's creation zào, which has long been familiar to sailors who have received maritime skills training in Vietnam.

Ou Yeliang and Mo Xian looked at Gongzi Shun, and they both shook their heads secretly, this guy has gone crazy

"The herald brigade was stationed in Juyu Mountain and raised the banner of Baizi. Although this is the territory of the temple family. Forgive him, don't dare to offend Baizi. ”

Ou Yeliang and Mo Xian are both in good spirits, this trip to Yushan can be regarded as the right one, the rumors in the world are indeed true, and there is meat to eat with Baizi!

The sentence and the mountain seem to be rejuvenated overnight, and the daunting sacred mountain is a treasure rich in minerals in the eyes of Xijun Baizi, and if you plant a flag, you will be divided into your own bag; This is not Bai Zi bullying the weak, representing the orthodoxy of the Yue country, the prince of Wu Shizi, who represents the orthodoxy of the Yue country, will not only not object, but also will vigorously support it, and Dr. Guiwei is even eager to send troops to help, and the sentence is now in the sphere of influence of the temple family. He was hoping that the temple area would still anger Bai Zi, and it was not only the 30,000 troops of Qi who helped Yue at that time. There will also be the wealth of the Bai family's enemy country.

Si District Shang, the most rampant and ferocious doctor in the Yue Kingdom, is completely ready to pretend to be stupid this time, even if the unbroken Wang Qi and the three thousand Guiwei troops are stationed at the foot of Juyu Mountain, even if the craftsmen of the Bai family are entering the mountains under the leadership of the Mo family and the children of the Gong Loser, even if countless gold and silver may really be excavated here, he has made up his mind to pretend to be a dead dog and knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Bai Dong has always believed that only those who can forbear can achieve great things, Si Qu Shang is really a talent, if it weren't for his own student to be the king of Yue, if it wasn't for the deep grudge between the Yue royal family and the temple family, he would really be a little unable to do it, but this qiē is just if, if the sentence and the mountain did not find the silver mine, it is okay, now that it has been discovered, the Bai family must absolutely control zhì, and it is already necessary to help Wu Li sweep the temple Shang, the biggest opponent.

Bai Dong is now standing halfway up the mountainside, behind him is his military tent, in front of the tent is his black background and white flame slippery side flag, the scenery here is not bad, at the foot is a rare forest in the Jurong Mountains, as if it has absorbed the spirit of this area, each one has two people around the thickness, the craftsmen of the Gong Loser and the Mo family have already set up a workshop nearby, and are taking the craftsmen recruited from the Qin State and the Yue State to cut down these trees; The ore veins discovered by Gongzishun are indeed very large, and according to Ou Yeliang's judgment, I am afraid that it will surpass all the known mines of this era! However, digging along the vein, this vein will gradually go deep into the ground, and a wooden frame must be built all the way to succeed, and the craftsmen of the Gong Loser and the Mo family have experience in opening coal mines in Lao Qin, which is really difficult for them.

In addition to the 3,000 Guiwei Army, there are also the elites of the Qin State who came with Bai Dong who are responsible for the safety of the ore veins, generally the old soldiers who belong to the Bai family themselves, and half of them are the elite soldiers of Yongyi who have now been classified under the command of Xijun, including the Bai family, the soldiers of the Meng family and the Xi family, looking at these elite soldiers who are armed with iron armor to the teeth, Tian Yinqi's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but ask Bai Dong: "When you leave the Qin State, will you definitely be able to find such a huge silver mine in Juhe Mountain?" ”

Even if most of them take the waterway, mobilizing thousands of elite soldiers like this, and countless craftsmen of the Mo family and the public loser are also very costly, in case it is empty, the Bai family consumes some military rations is nothing, and these craftsmen of the Mo family and the public loser will waste months in vain, and now the Bai family is building everywhere, these craftsmen are treasures. Tian Yinqi was just wondering, Bai Dong, this kid had the help of a great god, why didn't what he wanted to do unsuccessful? Silver ore is easy to find, from the Shang Dynasty to now there are hundreds of years, the world has found only a dozen silver mines, it can be seen how difficult it is to find a silver mine, this kid has not been to the country of Yue a few times, just point a place to find the vein?

Tian Yinqi is a perfect combination of reality and romanticism, is the greatest monarch in the history of Qi country, but also a brain-dead fan full of imagination, in his opinion, there are really Lao Tzu, Liezi such a magical person in this world, there will be a fairy country on the sea, the distance between the way of immortality and him is only a layer of window paper, pierced just next door, pierced not broken away from thousands of miles of mountains. How old is this white man in front of him? Why can he have all kinds of magical expressions, is the dream in his mouth really in a dream? Could it be that there are gods and men in his dream who teach secrets, so that he can take the lead everywhere, and he can find a silver mine thousands of miles away with his fingers?

Thinking of Bai Dong Dali's development of the fleet and selflessly imparting navigation knowledge to the people of the world, Tian Yinqi's heart suddenly became hot, and Qi must become stronger, but what happens after it is strong? If you can't be a complete man in this life, if you can't trace the immortal path that you have admired for many years, what is the meaning of this life? Now it seems that if anyone in this world can find the legendary ethereal immortal path, it must be the white man in front of him! This thigh must be hugged tightly!

"I'm not an immortal, where can I have this ability, it's just luck." Bai Dong smiled slightly: "And it doesn't matter how I found the silver mine, the important thing is that if you lose, if you are willing to gamble, you will have to lose, when will your 30,000 army enter the Yue Kingdom?" I calculated, the Yue Kingdom has been fighting for many years, and even the strongest temple family has been greatly injured, and it is not very difficult for the 30,000 Qi army to break through the temple district family city in one month. ”

"The temple area is still too miserable, who is not good to provoke, it shouldn't be provoked by you, the widow will immediately rectify the army after returning to China, a month? You also look down on Qi Guo too much, half a month is enough, if it takes a few months to deal with a mere Yue Guo doctor, what face does the widow have? I just hope that Baizi will not forget the agreement between you and me."

The discovery of the silver mine in Yue Guo greatly increased Tian Yinqi's confidence in Bai Dong, once Bai Dong had enough silver in his hands, what would happen to Huaxia? After all, he is the king of a country, and the angle from which he looks at the problem may not be under Xu Gong and Fan Qi, so he naturally understands how great benefits will be brought once he masters the world's currency. And Bai Dong promoted the 'silver standard', once the old silver mines in China were collected by him, the world's economic lifeline could be in the hands of the Bai family and collaborators, if Bai Dong could still find a few large silver mines like today, then he would become the ruler of China in the true sense! What about your Wei and Chu countries, which have strong soldiers, can you still fight without money? With the advent of Wei Wushu, all countries are now following closely behind to establish similar armies, these armies are different from cantonment troops, although the combat effectiveness is amazing, but the state needs to raise and send troops

Bai Dong is actually not as optimistic as Tian Yinqi, before the establishment of the new Chinese state, Huaxia was still a country dominated by agricultural economy, although silver money has a very important position, but even if you control the wealth of the world, you may not be able to become a ruler in the real sense; Before Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, which one of the Six Kingdoms was not prosperous and economically developed? Should be destroyed or must be destroyed! Unifying the world's currency and launching a new silver is actually only the first step he has taken, and he doesn't want to be a ruler in the real sense, he just hopes that China can break away from the pure agrarian economy and start racing with the Western world two thousand years in advance, and win at the starting line!

"Naturally, I won't forget Jì, but please don't forget Jì Marquis Qi, after breaking the temple home, your Qi army will leave Yue Country without a single left; Also, after returning to Qi Kingdom, treat Yingshu's mother and son well, if their mother and son are not doing well, I am afraid that it will also affect the cooperation between you and me. ”

"Hehe, Bai Zi rest assured, although the widow is not a genius like Bai Zi, he will not lose a big one because of a small one, in the eyes of the widow, the interests of the Qi country are higher than a qiē."

"Wonderful, so I can rest assured, when Qi Hou leaves Yue, Bai should send him off."

Bai Dong smiled slightly, this Tian Yinqi is estimated to have also studied his own "Baizi Quotations", just this sentence 'The interests of the Qi country are higher than a qiē', people who have not read this book can't say it. (To be continued......)
