017:Iron Ore**
Speaking of which, the dinner was finally made, and the big belly in the world was the biggest, and being hungry could not solve any problems, so the attention and energy naturally shifted to the dishes all over the ground first.
The various dishes on the ground are really not good, only two of the dozen or so dishes are dishes with meat, and the others are all vegan dishes that are not even oily, which is more bitter than the monk. Although the dishes were indeed cold and simple, Deng Shifeng knew that this was the best thing that could be made in the village, and after nearly twenty days, his mouth and stomach had become less awkward, and the pressure of survival made him understand that he had no choice or reason to refuse in the face of limited food.
This meal is not refreshing for Deng Shifeng, and for those villagers, it is definitely a big feast that can only be had during the New Year, but the women are a little distressed about eating so much grain today and the stored food left for the New Year, while the men are thinking about the words of the immortals and Qin Er in their hearts, everyone who has a very important matter does not seem to have much appetite for the meal in front of them, except for the carefree children who have no scruples to open their stomachs and eat desperately - today's meal is full!
"Immortal, is there really an iron mine in the place you said?! Is it enough for the people in our village? ”
The old grandson had the most questions in his heart, and the old grandson, who hadn't eaten much, put down the bowl in his hand and ended his meal.
"Of course, there's a big, big iron mine! Enough for the people of our village to practice for ten lifetimes!! ”
Deng Shifeng didn't eat much, although those women made these meals very carefully, and added rare salt to taste, but the lack of enough oily these vegetarian dishes is difficult to swallow, Deng Shifeng only ate some and didn't dare to challenge the limit of his taste and stomach capacity, it's not that he didn't dare, but now the situation of these people is still unclear, before he is completely sure of the other party's attitude and thoughts, Deng Shifeng does not dare to lie down because of diarrhea or other unexpected situations caused by such a challenge.
Deng Shifeng naturally understands the ambitions and worries of the old grandson, although he has not seen the craftsmanship of the old grandson himself, but from the observation of the iron tools made by Qin Er and their existing old grandson, Deng Shifeng can still determine that the old grandson is still a good hand, but now the most troublesome thing for him is not the problem of craftsmanship, but the lack of enough iron for him to make, that is, it is very common for a clever woman to cook without rice.
And Deng Shifeng's confident answer naturally has enough confidence sources, after determining the location of the crossing location, Deng Shifeng's brain has already been imprinted in his mind Guangxi map to call up, in the initial search for the cave, so many vehicles may not be on other cars, but those few big trucks that make a living by pulling goods must have a new version of the detailed traffic map in China! Putting the current location into the map, several landmarks and key locations near the prescribed location have already appeared in Deng Shifeng's mind.
Now his location should still be in the territory of Yongfu County, and if from the Baishou Town in the later generations to the south, with the nearby terrain and the records in the genealogy, then it should be in the junction area of Yongfu County and Luzhai County in the later generations, the big households in the southeast should come from Zhongdu Town, and to the north is the Three Emperors Township in the later generations, and if all the way to the south...... Not only is it the location of its own cave, but also not far to the south, it should be the mine of eight medium-sized iron mines in Guangxi - Tunqiu Iron Mine!
Guangxi ancient production of minerals is not abundant, except for one or two, it can even be said to be barren, coupled with the backwardness of the ancient smelting industry and the lack of means of recognition and utilization of various metals, the most produced in the country ranked first and even occupies an important position is tin. However, in ancient times, this tin does not refer to the Nandan tin mine that accounted for more than half of the world's output in later generations, but refers to the tin produced in Hezhou. The ancient book name tin is 'He', and it is named after the most prosperous tin produced in Linhe County. Today's clothes are the world's people, only the two states of Nandan, Hechi, and live in its eighteenth; Balance and eternity are secondary. "During the Tang and Song dynasties, tin was produced in Hezhou, so that the original tin was called He, and in the Ming Dynasty, eighty percent of the country's tin production came from Hezhou and Nandan in Guangxi. Although the quantity of Nandan tin ore is large and the quality is good, because of the steep road, until the modern mechanized scale of collection and railway and highway transportation facilities are complete, the output of tin ore in Nandan has increased by leaps and bounds.
In addition to tin ore production, Guangxi's gold, silver, copper and lead production was also produced in ancient times, but the proportion is not large, but related to human life use of the most widely used steel...... Although Guangxi's output is not miserable, it is indeed pitiful. This is related to the lack of iron ore in Guangxi, after decades of efforts by the geology and mining departments of later generations, almost like a detailed investigation of the net, Guangxi has 60 mining areas (ore sections) with proven resource reserves, including Tunqiu in Luzhai County, Haiyang and Daxu in Lingchuan County, Quxiang, Longlong, Setuan in Chongzuo City, Panlong in Beiliu City, Yingyangguan in Hezhou City, etc. 8 are medium-sized deposits, and the rest are small or ore points. The cumulative proven resource reserves are 310 million tons, ranking 24th in the country and ranking at the end of the country (in the ranking of geological and mineral resources, the four municipalities directly under the central government and two special administrative regions should not be taken into the rankings, and the 23 provinces and five autonomous regions rank 24, although they are not the ones who carry the list, but they are really no different from the end). Guangxi iron ore is characterized by many points, scattered, few rich ores, many poor ores and difficult to select, which can not meet the needs of the development of modern iron and steel industry.
The Tunqiu iron ore mine located near the north of Guangxi, was discovered at the beginning of the establishment of New China in the 20th century, with reserves of about 30 million tons, although the quality can only reach 40%, from the perspective of the modern iron and steel industry, the high smelting cost is not too much, but it is ...... That's not a problem! First of all, it can solve the problem of whether there is a source of iron ore, so that Hanako is not afraid of rough rice, and she will starve to death, and she is in the mood to pick and choose?! The second is Tunqiu Iron Mine, which is a rare open-pit mine (Note: Tunqiu Iron Ore information comes from the online data annotation, and a large mine can be vaguely seen on Google Maps), which greatly reduces the difficulty of mining, Deng Shifeng doesn't want to take people down the mine to teach people how to mine!
With the backing of the Tunqiu Iron Mine, Deng Shifeng feels that he has a lot of confidence, and the reserves of 30 million tons and forty percent of the grade can only be regarded as the youngest brother of the little brother in front of the country's large mines, but no matter how good those mines are, he can't reach them now! ! And if you look at the overall steel and ironmaking volume in the whole world, if you can reach 100,000 tons a year, you can rank first in the world!
While talking to the old grandson, many men unconsciously finished their meals with concern, the women cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the men began to continue the previous topic again.
may be because Duan Guoyu's words that are enough for ten lifetimes stimulated the old grandson, and after the meal, the old grandson volunteered to be the main force of persuasion, he put out the qualifications and promised the benefits of various iron tools, and under Deng Shifeng's supplements from time to time, he even coaxed and deceived and intimidated Yinwei, and persuaded many men to follow Deng Shifeng to a new place. As a blacksmith, he has had enough of the suffering of not having enough iron, there is no product without iron, and he naturally says that he has a very hard life without farming, and he needs a new environment to open up a new world.
And Qin Er and Luo Dan, who firmly followed Deng Shifeng, also kept lobbying for their own goals, and the effect was much better all of a sudden; After all, several important people in the village have decided to relocate, but there is one problem that cannot be avoided - food.
Food is something that the Chinese have always been very entangled with and pursued, without food people will starve, and if they are hungry and can't find anything to eat, then what can be the effect of so many iron tools? At this point, even if he trusts Deng Shifeng, an immortal, he has to face up to this extremely serious problem, seeing that Lao Sun Tou's lobbying progress has entered a bottleneck state, Deng Shifeng knows that it is time to take another dose of fierce medicine.
"I know that the biggest doubt in everyone's mind is food, let everyone give up the field they have now, go to a barren mountain to reopen the land is really difficult for everyone to choose, the newly reclaimed land must be raw land, the yield is low, everyone has to spend a lot of effort to cultivate the land, and the fields we have now are basically mature fields, high yield, reluctant to ...... But once again, I am here to remind you that I believe that there will be no new attacks on this village until next year's autumn grain, because the attackers want you to help them plant food in these fields when the grain is ready to be harvested...... I'm sure you'll be attacked by more attackers than before, and when the time comes, not to mention your fields, even your harvest for the next year will be their spoils!! ”
Deng Shifeng was naturally very clear about the worries and hesitations in the hearts of these villagers, so as soon as he came up, he used the most grim reality to shatter the illusions that these people still held, and this sentence hit the villagers' heads like five thunderbolts. That's right, if you think about it, everyone likes to pick up things for nothing, and they are worried that the re-cultivation will produce less, but is it true that the things in the high-yield fields here must belong to you?! As long as a few hundred people come out, not only the fields are theirs, but even the rice in the fields has become theirs, and all their own work and efforts for a year will be in vain...... Thinking of this, even those who are very determined and reluctant to leave have already begun to beat the drum in their hearts......
"I know that your harvest this year is not bad, and every family has a certain amount of grain to prepare for next year's planting harvest; But now the situation has changed, instead of wasting precious food and time in vain and ending up with nothing, why not go into the mountains and start again, not only to avoid the other party's unrelenting seizure of the land, but also to gradually make iron and steel to strengthen themselves, and live comfortably in the mountains and don't want to come out, but if you want to ask for more fields, after a few years, we are fully capable of fighting back and taking back these things that should have belonged to us! ”
Deng Shifeng's medicine is heavy enough, the villagers have no culture and no knowledge, but it doesn't mean that they are stupid, following Deng Shifeng's words, they can naturally think of a way out if they can advance or retreat after entering the mountain, at this time, the minds of the most determined and unwilling to move have begun to liven up. But this is not over, Deng Shifeng still has a dose of the most fierce medicine to stimulate them to finally decide to relocate:
"I still have some food in the mountains, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee your children, I can help you raise them!!"
