Chapter 22 Building a blast furnace

Thirteen peaks are located in the north of Linghe City twenty-five miles away, thirteen peaks stretch and rise, the mountains embrace each other, it is said that the Jade Emperor sent Erlang God to the world to cloth the mountain, Erlang God picked the mountain to the north, saw the auspicious clouds not far away, overjoyed, then lifted a few small stones from the burden, fell in the world, it became thirteen peaks.

"Instructor, you see, the one in front of you is Nandaliang Mountain. The wood we used to build the city was cut from this side. Yang Fan rushed to the Thirteenth Peak with five hundred cavalry and five hundred migrant workers. This was urgently transferred by him to Zu Dashou, saying that it was of great use. When Zu Dashou heard this, he hurriedly dispatched Yang Fan's 500 cavalry and civilian workers, and rushed directly to the Thirteen Peaks.

"Lao Liu, where is the lime mine you are talking about?"

"My lord, it's on that Pingding Mountain. It's a lot, this thing is useless, it's okay to use it to paste the wall decoration. In his opinion, painting a layer of white is also a good look, and generally large households can paint the wall. If the lime is smeared on Linghe City, it is completely useless.

"Okay, Lao Liu. I just divided you into five echelons, right? ”

"Yes, sir." Lao Liu straightened his waist with some pride, because he was the ladder team...... Well, the head of the echelon is led by a hundred people. If you are in the army, you are a centurion, and you are much more majestic than those commanders.

"You take the first echelon, no, allocate another echelon to you, and go to mine some lime mines. Remember, pick the pure digging, and mix less with miscellaneous stones. "Just pick it up the hill.

"Order!" Lao Liu showed his yellow teeth, clenched his fists smartly, and then his face froze, "The first and second echelon teams, go!" Yang Fan rolled his eyes and directly ignored the extra word.

"Qi Dabai, I heard that your household registration is a potter, right?" Yang Fan specially checked the household registration of the conscripts and saw Qi Dabai's household registration. The household registration of the Ming Dynasty has been continued. In the final analysis, whatever your father does, you do. Unless you are admitted to the meritorious name, you can get rid of this household registration. Otherwise, dare to go down for the rest of your life,

A middle-aged man stood up and said, "Yes, my lord." My family has been kiln burners for generations. It's just that now it's sluggish, and the kiln mouth has been abandoned for several years. ”

"Okay, I don't care what you burn, will the cave be built?"

Qi Dabai nodded, but a small drum was played in his heart, this is not in the village and there is no store, Dajin Jiannu may kill him at any time, and burn the kiln here, is this little adult crazy?

"It's good to be able to build it. At the foot of the flat-topped mountain, build me a mouthful, remember, build it taller. I'll give you an echelon to win people, and you can figure out how to build it and what to use to build it. I don't care, give you ten days, a cave, is it enough? ”

"Enough is enough." Qi Dabai became the captain of the third echelon, and led a hundred people to Pingdingshan a little farther away.

The rest of the fourth echelon, follow your captain, to the bottom of the Pingding Mountain to wait for orders. When the lime ore is mined, use a hammer to break it up, the kind that is very broken.

Yang Fan said: "As for the fifth echelon and the remaining five hundred cavalry, follow me." Yang Fan stepped on the little black horse and began to lean forward. I had seen this thirteen peaks on the map at the beginning, and I had that crazy plan. Now that I see this geographical location, I have to plan carefully. After planning, this will be the burial place of Huang Taiji!

For a whole day, Yang Fan took hundreds of people to shuttle among the thirteen peaks, drawing one after another, and sending people to mark every position that Yang Fan thought was important. At dusk, Yang Fan and the others returned to Pingdingshan again.

"Qi Dabai, have you made any name for yourself?" Yang Fan got off the horse and saw Qi Dabai with bare feet, trampling around in the mud. Seeing Yang Fan coming, Qi Dabai hurriedly ran over barefoot, "Lord Yang, this mud embryo has been done, there have been two batches of mud bricks ready, and when Ming'er burns them, they will come out soon." ”

Yang Fan nodded and turned his gaze to several other echelons. Several baskets of lime powder have already been grounded. Yang Fan fished a handful and twisted it in his hand. Lao Liu on the side was carrying a flat burden, his expression was more comfortable than ever, and he was happier than ever after a day's work.

Little people are easily satisfied, as long as they fill the little hope in their hearts and ignite that enthusiasm, then things will be much easier. Yang Fan looked at the thousand people, except for the hundreds of people who had been running with him all day, tossing up and down the mountain, a little tired, and some of the others were still smiling.

Yang Fan walked over, bowed, raised his head, looked at the sunset in the west, and said, "I, Yang Fan, am here to thank everyone." Although everyone didn't understand what I was going to do, they still showed twelve points of enthusiasm to support me, and I Yang Fan remembered this kindness. Let me say it bluntly, the hard work you put in here will be rewarded. There will be grain, there will be bread! ”

Everyone was frightened by Yang Fan's polite gesture, and bowed again and again: "My lord, this is tormenting the little ones." This guarding the territory is what every one of the Ming people should do. In the past, those military masters either didn't give food and wages, or they were whipped with whips, how could there be a bodhisattva like Lord Xiao Yang. We are all willing to die for adults. "Lao Liu is sophisticated and sleek after all," everyone said, right? ”

"Yes!"

Yang Fan took Xiao Hei and said, "Go!" Return. Just put the tools here and come back tomorrow. Everyone is tired, so let's rest today. ”

Lao Liu said: "Lord Yang, what are you talking about?" ”

"Well, when this repair is over, I'll make it for you to eat." Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had just purped out a sentence from Teller.

When Yang Fan and the others returned to Linghe City, they found that the framework at the bottom of the city wall was almost built, and the foundation of the city was almost poured. It was much faster than expected, Zu Dashou saw Yang Fan coming back, and hurriedly came over to ask how it was going. Yang Fan nodded and said, "En." ”

"What do you mean?" Zu Dashou's eyes widened, "You said it clearly." ”

Yang Fan handed Xiao Hei to Zu Dashou and said, "Feed Xiao Hei." He was tired from running all day. Yang Fan walked towards the city, Zu Dashou glanced at the reins in his hand, and then looked back at Yang Fan's back suspiciously, "Do you want me to feed you a horse with a general soldier?" Hell yes! ”

"Scared! Brute, scared Lao Tzu to death. When Zu Dashou turned around, he was a horse face with a dripping hara, and the nostrils that sprayed rough air pointed at Zu Dashou's face......
