Chapter 23 Blowing up the mountain and drawing water

Song County ordered out of the Hou Ye's Mansion, so he hurried to find those who had explored the water source, and Li Yao asked the blind man to go to the craftsman king, and he took the dog head and Li Feng to the county government with a cannon.

After a while, all the people came, and under the escort of a battalion of city guards, they marched mightily up the mountain.

When on the road. Li Yao said to the King of Craftsmen: "King Craftsman, have you chosen the address of the Mechanic Bureau?" ”

"I wasn't sure at first, but now I've found a good place!" ”

Li Yao said: "Where? ”

The craftsman said mysteriously: "It's at the foot of the mountain where you dug the canal!" ”

Li Yao glanced at the craftsman king suspiciously: "I know why next to the canal?" Because you want water, but why at the foot of the mountain? ”

The craftsman king whispered: "I found iron ore at the foot of the mountain!" ”

"What?" Li Yao was startled and lost his voice: "Is this true?" ”

The Craftsman nodded. But the expression of excitement was palpable.

Li Yao smiled: "Haha, I really send a pillow when I'm sleepy!" With iron ore, there is no shortage of raw materials for making weapons! ”

Li Yao said solemnly: "King Craftsman, the nearly one million refugees I brought back this time, I will gather all the skilled people for you, I need you to help me make weapons!" ”

The craftsman king smiled: "I have built weapons for a lifetime, so why not build weapons for you for a few years!" ”

Everyone came to the foot of the mountain while talking, and looking at the cliff, Li Yao asked, "How do we go up?" ”

The county magistrate took out a hook from the horse, tied a rope to the back, and said: "Let's take this hook and climb up slowly, and when we climb to the top of the mountain, we will have a water source half a mile to the south!" ”

Looking at the steepness of this mountain, no wonder the county order originally said that there was no way to get water, if there was no explosives, even if the gods came, they couldn't get water!

Li Yao took the hook and said, "Then let's climb up and take a look." After saying that, he shook his arm vigorously, took off his hand and threw the hook out, and the hook hung firmly on the tree.

Li Yao was about to climb, but he was stopped by the county order, Master Hou, you can't be impulsive, if you have a case, how can you let me explain!

Then Song Boming pointed to these people behind him, these people behind me have been collecting medicine on the mountains all year round, and they are very familiar with these mountains, you let them climb up first, and wait until the top to tie the rope, let's go up!

Li Yao didn't want to be reckless, so he said: "Okay, just listen to the county order!" ”

People who beg for a living on the mountain all year round have different climbing ability, hundreds of zhang high mountains, and they climb up in the time of a stick of incense. Then he threw a few ropes from the mountain, and Li Yao was just about to grab the ropes when he was stopped by the blind man.

The blind man said: "Big brother, let me go up and see the situation first, we are not familiar with these people above, so it's better to be careful!" ”

Li Yao nodded, handed the rope in his hand to the blind man, and said, "Blind, be careful!" ”。

The blind man pulled the rope hard, and felt that the top was already tight, so he pulled the rope and climbed up, the blind man deserved to be a martial artist from the elementary school, and the foundation was good, even on the mountain at an angle of seventy or eighty degrees, the pace was still steady.

Slowly watched the blind man's figure get smaller and smaller, and then climbed to the top of the mountain and disappeared, and after waiting for a while, he heard the blind man's voice coming down from the mountain: "Big brother, come up!" ”

When Li Yao heard the sound, he pulled the rope and climbed up, and several guards also dragged other ropes to guard around Li Yao! Li Yao also liked rock climbing when he was in the military academy, and it was freehand rock climbing, so he was not very afraid, and it didn't take long to climb to the top of the mountain!

Climbing to the top of the mountain, Li Yao realized that the mountain he had climbed was just a small mountain, and there was a bigger mountain behind, but fortunately, the mountain behind him was not very steep, the angle was forty or fifty degrees, but it was still difficult to climb.

After waiting for a while, the county order and the craftsman king also climbed up with the help of the guards, although the craftsman king looked old, but on this steep mountain, walking was more stable than the county order.

Under the leadership of the county order, he continued to walk for half a mile, and the roar of the water was actually deafening, and Li Yao said: "Could it be that there is a waterfall in front?" ”

The county magistrate nodded and said: "We mainly take water from here this time, but the terrain here is too steep, and we have to dig half a mile to dig the place we just came up, and the most difficult thing to dig is the rock under the waterfall, the rock here is extremely hard by the impact of the water!" Ordinary tools can't dig at all! ”

Li Yao took out the cannon he was carrying, put it between the two big rocks, and said, "I'll show you the weapons that God has given me this time!" This weapon can cut through mountains and rubble, stay away, don't wait for it to blow you up! ”

Everyone was very curious, what was in Li Yao's hand, only to see Li Yao take out the fire fold, touch the thing, that thing actually sparked, and it remained unextinguished, all of them were surprised, only to see that spark entered, "bang" a loud sound, the deafening sound was accompanied by the explosion of the two rocks scattered to the ground, everyone was stunned in place, and after a while they all ran over to check.

The county magistrate recovered from the shock and muttered: "With this thing, it is never a problem to open a mountain to get water!" ”

The craftsman king ran to Li Yao at this time and asked, "Master Hou, do you have more things that the gods have given you?" ”

Li Yao smiled: "What about a lot of things? How does the craftsman king need it? ”

The old face of the craftsman king blushed: "Master Hou, you also know that the mining of iron ore is really difficult, usually a hundred of us only mine 1,800 catties a day, if there is this fairy thing, I estimate that the mining speed will be much faster, besides, Hou Ye, when the time comes, the mining will be yours!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "King Craftsman, don't worry, I will also hand over this kind of immortal method to you, and many new weapons will rely on this thing in the future!" ”

The craftsman king was taken aback: "Master Hou, what you said is true?" Will you give me this fairy method? ”

Li Yao nodded: "Well, I don't seem to have ever lied to you!" ”

"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" As he spoke, the craftsman knelt down.

Li Yao was shocked, hurriedly helped up the craftsman king, and said, "Craftsman king, what are you doing here?" ”

The craftsman said: "Master Hou, if you are willing to hand over the fairy method to me, I have nothing to reciprocate, so I have to worship you as a teacher!" Otherwise, I'm upset! ”

Li Yao smiled and said: "King Craftsman, this is what you deserve, as long as you work hard in the Mechanic Bureau, I promise that I will give you more surprises in the future!" ”

The craftsman made a fuss, so that everyone had no heart to continue looking at the blown up rock.

Li Yao called the county order: "I still have a lot of this kind of thing, I need you to draw the route of the aqueduct now, and then let's start to open the mountain to get water!" ”

The county magistrate said: "Master Hou, I will definitely lay out the route of the canal as quickly as possible!" ”

After seeing the topography here, everyone is ready to go back, the water on the mountain can be led down, but the water canal on the ground has not been dug yet, and it is necessary to mobilize refugees as soon as possible to dig the canal!
