"There's something strange about this stone!" This is Pang Gang's judgment on this stone!

"Is this the tungsten ore I've been looking for?" Thinking of this possibility, Pang Gang was suddenly so excited that his body trembled a little.

Since the first day that Pang Gang came to this era, he has been keeping this mutated "Modern Weapons Encyclopedia" close to his collection, and he also specially found someone to make a book bag, and he carried it with him all the time except for sleeping, because he knew very well that if he wanted to live in this troubled world, and even to complete the dream in his heart that still seems a little ethereal, all depends on this book. To put it mildly, without itself, a small person from a small city management, let alone get ahead, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even protect itself.

But now gradually Pang Gang found that the use of this book has encountered a bottleneck, that is, he has not found the whereabouts of tungsten ore for so long in this era, not at all, and he has also asked people about tungsten ore, but no one knows what tungsten is. And some of the follow-up good things in his book can't be cashed out without tungsten ore, such as Mini rifles, Hongyi cannons, Franc machines, tiger squat cannons, and ships behind, etc., all need tungsten ore to cash out, Pang Gang has been anxious about this, but today he actually found a piece of suspected tungsten ore in the mansion of the Laizhou prefect, how can this not make him excited.

"My lord, is there something wrong?" The maid who was leading the way in front noticed that the guests behind her had stopped moving, so she quickly stopped and asked softly.

Afraid that the maid in front of him would see the flaw, Pang just calmed down, shook his head silently, picked up the stone and followed the maid to continue walking.

After Pang Gang entered the thatched house, Pang Gang ignored the smell there, put the stone on the side of the wall, and then took out the "Encyclopedia with Weapons" from the bag on his body, opened it to the home page and approached the stone, and a line of words immediately appeared on the table of contents in the book, "Tungsten ore thirty, do you absorb it?" ”

"This is tungsten ore, this is tungsten ore! Lao Tzu finally found tungsten ore! Pang Gang, who was excited, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Pang Gang calmed down his mood with great perseverance, quickly closed the books, and hurriedly relieved himself with the excitement in his heart, and then immediately walked towards the hall, but his hand was holding the big stone of the sea bowl and never letting go.

Came to the hall, Pang Gang sat down in the original seat and put the stone at his feet, this action made Shu Feisong and Wei Jiang, who were sitting on both sides, look puzzled at the same time, for no other reason, this Dingyuan general went to the toilet but moved back a black stone from nowhere, and put it so carefully by his side, this is too strange.

The corners of Shu Feisong's mouth and throat moved and swallowed back, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and finally Wei Jiang, who was still on the side, couldn't help but ask: "My lord, what is this stone next to you, why do you cherish it with caution, could it be that there is something unusual about this stone?" ”

Pang had already thought of the reason when he first came, he didn't answer Wei Jiang's words, but turned his head to Shu Feisong and said, "When the official went to relieve himself, he inadvertently found this stone in the backyard, and brought it over without the permission of the owner, Lord Duan, you won't be surprised, right?" ”

It's just a stone, of course Duan Feipeng didn't say anything, but asked with interest: "What can make a huge person look at it must be unusual, but can a huge person solve the puzzle for the lower officials, is there anything special about this stone, so that the adults have been brought here?" ”

"It's an ore." Pang Gang was not afraid to tell them calmly, "This is an ore that is needed for well-made weapons and armor, since there is no such ore in Qingzhou, this official has been looking for it for a long time, I didn't expect to be able to see it in Lord Duan's mansion today, this is also an unexpected surprise." However, the official now wants to ask Lord Duan, where is this ore mined, can you tell the official? ”

As soon as he heard that this was just an ore, the prefect was immediately interested, and the curiosity in his eyes suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he said listlessly: "This official doesn't know either, but if you want to know the origin of this stone, you only need to ask some local stonemasons, because they built the mansion." ”

"Oh? If that's the case, can you trouble Lord Duan to immediately call a few local stonemasons so that the official can inquire on the spot? Pang Gang said with some eagerness.

"Okay, this official will send someone to summon it." Although Shu Feisong was a little puzzled by Pang Gang's unfortunate behavior, he didn't want to offend Pang Gang in such a trivial matter, so he summoned a servant and whispered a few words to him, and the servant immediately left quickly.

Although the song and dance continued, and Shu Feisong, Wei Jiang and a group of subordinates also continued to toast him, Pang Gang's heart had already flown to the ore. This can't blame Pang Gang for being too excited, but tungsten ore is too important to Pang Gang, as long as there is tungsten ore, his strength and military strength can get a qualitative leap, and then the weapons he can cash can be lived, as long as he can cash out artillery and ships, it won't be long before he can build himself into a huge force that no one can ignore, and even Chongzhen will not dare to move himself at will.

Pang Gang is so confident because Qingzhou has gradually formed an interest group with him as the core, and the main members of this interest group are mainly Pang Gang and his officers and military households from Lingshanwei, who have obtained a lot of benefits from the iron mines, cement factories and tuntians that Pang Gang opened in Lingshanwei. It was all thanks to Pang Gang, the factory and mine that Pang Gang opened and the fields allocated to them, that they could live the life they had dreamed of before.

Although no one said it, everyone knew very well in their hearts that if Pang Gang fell one day, it would mean that their good life was coming to an end, so Pang Gang believed that even if he rebelled now, there would definitely be many people who would follow him. The reason is very simple, because Pang Gang has firmly tied their interests to their own interests, once Pang Gang falls, it means that everything they have now will be wiped out, which is something that no one in the military household will agree to after a few days of stability.

In order to obtain the greatest benefits in the coming troubled times, Pang Gang is now doing everything possible to enhance his strength, and some time ago he asked Lingshanwei to recruit another 3,000 new recruits for this consideration.

Just when Pang Gang was waiting restlessly, several craftsmen recruited by Shu Feisong finally arrived, and one of them was an old man about sixty years old who came to several people, it seemed that he knew Shu Feisong, the prefect, he first knelt down and kowtowed to Shu Feisong and said: "Jiang Laohan kowtows to the adult, I don't know why the adult is looking for the little old man?" ”

"Excuse me!" Shu Feisong raised his hand and said lazily: "Today, it is not the official who is looking for you, but this huge person who is looking for you to question, you have to answer well and don't be lazy, otherwise the official will not spare you." ”

"Yes!" The old man turned around and was about to respectfully kowtow to Pang Gang who was sitting in the middle, but was stopped by Pang Gang, Pang Gang smiled and said: "Old man, kowtow is exempt, this official is a martial artist, there is not so much courtesy, I am looking for you to come here today just to ask you something, I hope you can answer truthfully." ”

Jiang Laohan said respectfully: "Even if the adult asks, the little old man must know everything and say everything." ”

"That's good!" Pang Gang nodded, picked up the stone on the side and handed it to Jiang Laohan, and then asked, "I don't know if your old man has ever seen this kind of stone?" If so, can you tell me where it is produced? ”

Jiang Laohan cautiously took the stone and looked at it carefully, and then handed him to the following craftsmen, who saw it separately and whispered a few words to each other before handing the stone back to Pang Gang, and said respectfully: "Back to adults, Xiao Lao'er has indeed seen this kind of stone, this kind of stone is produced at the foot of a mountain called Crescent Mountain, thirty miles east of Laizhou City, because this kind of stone is useless, so the locals do not want to see it. If you pick it up, it's just for playing, or to build a fence pigsty or something. And there are not many of these stones, so even the locals don't know much about it, but because Xiao Lao'er's grandmother's house is there, Xiao Lao'er recognizes this kind of stone. ”

When Pang Gang heard this, the corners of his eyes suddenly moistened, Nima's, these people are so big, my brother can't find it hard, you actually use tungsten ore to build a pigsty, how happy those pigs are!

He asked a little anxiously: "Old man, this official needs this kind of ore very much, can you take this official to that well, yes, that crescent moon mountain line?" ”

How could Jiang Laohan dare to refuse this official who was even respectful to the prefect, he hurriedly agreed: "There is no problem, Xiao Lao'er will come to the mansion early in the morning to listen to the dispatch of the adults." ”

Everyone around was a little surprised by Pang Gang's urgency, especially Shu Feisong, who secretly muttered in his heart, "Could it be that this kind of black stone is really a treasure?" ”

"Why don't you go and occupy that mountain and sell the ore to this huge man?" It's just that this thought has just risen from his heart, and the bloody scene of Pang Gang slaughtering the rebels appeared in his mind this afternoon, and he quickly dispelled this unrealistic thought. If you want to snatch food from this butcher's hands, you have to touch your own neck to see if it is hard enough.

Pang Gang, who got the answer he wanted, finally put his heart down, and happily he ordered someone to reward several craftsmen led by Jiang Laohan with five taels of silver each, which made them retreat......
