Chapter 30: The Mineral Vein Turmoil
Zhang Bai smiled mysteriously: "If you say that there are safe places in Yanzhou now, what does the general think about the place where Emperor Xian lives in seclusion?" ’
Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Zhang Bai: "My lord is talking about your territory." ’
'Yes. Zhang Bai directly admitted, "Although my homeland is waiting to be developed, there is an emperor here, and it is expected that the Yellow Turban thieves will not dare to invade." If the general is interested, he can also take refuge in his homeland with his family first, so that even if the battle is lost, he will have no worries, and he can calmly deal with it whether he holds on or retreats. ’
Zhang Chao fell into silence, but shook his head lightly for a long time: "My lord has a heart." ’
He did not say yes and did not refuse. Zhang Bai didn't force it, and took out another 10,000 gold coins and handed it to Zhang Chao: "I escorted Du Shang and the others to leave first, hoping to help the general." ’
Zhang Chao was moved, and reluctantly stood up and gave Zhang Bai a deep salute. Zhang Bai hurriedly helped him up: "I will come back in two days to assist the general in defending the city, and everything is entrusted to the general." ’
It just so happened that at this moment, Li Ji actually arrived, he was in a hurry, and as soon as he climbed the tower, he looked around. Zhang Bai hurriedly shouted at him. Li Jiyi was overjoyed and strode over: 'Lord! There will be something important to report at the end! ’
Seeing Li Ji like this, Zhang Bai was also a little nervous, pulled Li Ji aside, avoided Zhang Chao, and then asked anxiously: "Say it quickly." ’
'My lord, this morning I was thinking about going to the ore vein with Zhang Da, but we were blocked by a mysterious force. Li Ji gasped.
'Mystic forces? ’
'Yes, the last general explored several minerals, and found that each one was shrouded in a mysterious force, and we united the strength of several people to break through one of them, and found that there were soldiers stationed inside, and there was also a mysterious general, who was strong, and the last general and General Zhang were far from being the enemy of that person's move. However, the other party didn't seem to want to hurt us, so after a warning, they let us leave. ’
'There is such a thing! Zhang Bai was surprised and delighted, Liu Xie's retreat, now he finally found the clue, "I just want to go home to the garden, come with me, I'll go and see for myself." ’
'The last general commands! ’
Subsequently, Zhang Bai and Zhang Chao went to Zhang Miao's palace together, and took out 10,000 gold coins, Zhang Miao easily got the release slip out of the city when he was surprised, and went to Du Shang's house again. In addition to the goods, there was a team of more than 100 people, hundreds of family members and servants, and thousands of other residents who were willing to move with him. Zhang Baile's mouth couldn't close.
'My lord. Seeing Zhang Bai, Du Shang hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
'Finish playing the bag. Zhang Bai smiled all over his face, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and together with Li Ji, he put some heavy objects directly into the backpack, and looked at it with envy, the backpack is the ability to bring the soul, and it won't take long for him to have it!
And Zhang Bai was almost happy to pull it over, and he turned out a stack of architectural design drawings in the package, including the council hall, the market, special residential mansions, restaurants, warehouses... There are dozens of them, and of course he directly put these important materials into his backpack.
The relocation of the Dushang family, in the end, made up a team of more than 3,000 people and went out of the city at the west gate.
At the city gates.
'Brother Bai, what are you? Lu Ming was dumbfounded. For the time being, the Yellow Turban only launched an offensive at the south gate, and there were idle birds on his side.
'Here's to you. Zhang Bai gave Lu Ming a design drawing of the council hall.
'I'm C! Lu Mingwei screamed, and the lightning took out his hand to put the blueprints into his backpack, "What else?" Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
'Fuck off. Zhang Bai kicked him angrily.
'Brother Bai, what are you doing here? Lu Ming pointed to the thousands of people behind Zhang Bai.
"The residents I have wooed will soon be upgraded to a small village, you kid will be the second, and now the drawings of the council hall are also given to you, hurry up, and I will choose a good place for you when the time comes." ’
The gap is getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Ming is anxious: "No, I'll go with you, I'm going to upgrade the gathering place today!" What he said was categorical, and this matter was simple, just follow Zhang Bai and his gang out of the city together, and with the release slip signed by Zhang Miao himself, the commander guarding the city gate did not dare to stop it at all.
Lu Ming followed Zhang Bai back to his homeland first, and there was nothing to do along the way, some time ago, in order to upgrade, most of the prosperity requirements were supported by houses and roads, and there were many vacant houses, and the old and young arranged to live first, and ordered Zhang Shi to take the architects who came with him this time to start building houses first. Xinnon selected a number of shrewd and capable people to register with him, arrange a residence, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
Zhang Bai took Zhang Da, Li Ji, Lu Ming and a total of 190 nurses from six families to complete the registration before completing the registration and went to a mineral mine together.
The ore veins are divided into three grades: barren, ordinary and high-quality, and the ore produced per day ranges from 10 to 1,000 parts. It's a barren iron ore mine.
Before the vein, after the barrier was breached, a deep hole could be seen. Zhang Bai and the others approached the ore vein, and a towering man took the initiative to walk out of the hole, nearly two meters tall, the muscles were not very exaggerated but the edges and corners were full of explosiveness, the clothes on his body were simple, just ordinary fabrics made of Zhang Bai estimated that it should not be advanced armor, but the weapon in his hand was extraordinary, and was held in the hands of the towering man, there was a breathtaking coercion, in the face of Zhang Bai's team of two hundred people, the man was not false at all, and the corners of his mouth hung a disdainful sneer: 'What? A little lesson, it seems that you don't pay attention? Do you have to kill people? ’
Zhang Bai looked at this person, stepped forward alone and replied with his fists clenched: "The strong man has misunderstood, I am here... Master, I heard from my subordinates that there are thieves occupying the ore vein, so I came here to check it out. I didn't think it was a strong man here, it must have been a misunderstanding. I don't know what to call a strong man? ’
'Master? Hehe, a certain Li Jin, you leave quickly, all the veins here have owners, don't be delusional! If you dare to fight the idea of the ore vein again, don't blame me for being ruthless! ’
Zhang Bai frowned slightly, and the group of nurses who followed were even more angry, clamoring to teach this kid a lesson, Zhang Bai stretched out his hand to suppress the noise, he did not forget that Li Ji and Zhang Da joined forces under this person and could not make a move, this person's martial arts must be extraordinary. He was about to test it, but Li Jin turned his head directly into the mine, and left a sentence: 'Anyone who dares to step into the mine vein again will be killed!' ’
'My lord, I'll lead someone to rush in and capture this thief!' Li Ji was angry, so he stepped forward and asked.
A group of nursing homes also shouted, but Zhang Da didn't say a word. Zhang Bai looked at him with interest: "Zhang Da, what do you think?" ’
Zhang Da hesitated for a moment, as if it was difficult to speak, and finally stiffened his neck and said, "I listen to the lord." ’
Zhang Bai smiled, turned to face everyone, the noise quickly lowered and gradually disappeared, Zhang Bai said with satisfaction: "Now our homeland is waiting to be prosperous, it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches, and we can't use these ores for the time being, so let him be here first." ’
The nurses talked a lot, and they were quite angry, and some people even shouted that if you don't dare, let us go in by yourself, Zhang Bai's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the person who said this, the murderous aura in his eyes was like substance, and at the same time, the soul aura on Li Ji and Zhang Da's bodies also burst out.
'Goose roar~' beside Zhang Da, the goose king also appeared with a roar.
The Lord humiliates his ministers to death! Dare to scold Zhang Bai? Li Ji and Zhang Da were really angry at this time, full of murderous intent.
In an instant, the murmur disappeared.
'You think you're strong?' Zhang Bai swept through everyone with a murderous aura and said word by word.
Li Jizhang Dayi guarded him on the left and right, and the tall body of the Goose King behind him was roaring towards the sky.
The people who were swept by Zhang Bai all bowed their heads and did not dare to look at them. Except for the previous person, who looked arrogant and disdainful, Zhang Bai stared at him for a while and looked away.
'Today I have made it clear, those who do not want to stay in my homeland can return to Chenliu now, who wants to leave?' Zhang Bai glanced viciously. At this moment, the man walked out of the crowd with his neck clenched into a fist, squinted at Zhang Bai, and turned around to leave.
'Stop. Zhang Bai drank.
'What? The man stood still, his eyes swept over Li Ji and Zhang Da with fear, and then looked at Zhang Bai, "I was hired by the Wang family to protect the family, but I am not your people, what?" Do you want to force me to stay? As he spoke, the man pulled out the long knife at his waist and assumed a defensive posture.
Zhang Bai glanced at the top of his head, and simply said the word 'ranger'. This is one of the ranks of the inhabitants who develop the armed forces: refugee - homeless - village warrior - ranger - martial arts master - martial arts master - martial arts family - famous family. This person can reach the level of ranger, and his attributes are estimated to be not low, but keeping such a character is also a hidden danger, which will seriously lower the security of the territory.
'You have just been registered, and you are my people!' Want to leave? OK! Li Ji! Li Ji immediately promised, "You take him to Xinnong and expel him from his homeland!" ’
'Yes! Li Ji replied and strode towards the man.
'Shameless dog officer, Ann dares to bully me! The man suddenly shouted, raised his hand and slashed directly at Li Ji, who seemed to be defenseless.
Zhang Bai was shocked: 'Look for death! ’
was about to make a move, but saw Li Jiyi dodge a slash and hit the temple with a punch, like a mountain. Touch! The man only felt that the Venus in front of him was rising, and then there was a pain in his chest, but it was Li Ji who stepped on it. With a shock to his wrist, the long knife came out of his hand, and the next moment, the long knife was already resting on his neck.
'Kill! ’
Hearing Zhang Bai's cold order, Li Ji didn't hesitate anymore, the long knife was pressed, and the man didn't have time to beg for mercy, so he was killed immediately!
The scene was silent, and Zhang Bai's anger did not subside: "Who else is leaving?" ’
No one dared to respond, and his head was lowered.
'Humph! No matter what kind of people you were before, you must obey the rules in my territory, and don't think that you can do whatever you want by force, and those who disturb the peace will be killed! ’
Everyone quailed in general and replied, and Zhang Bai was even more angry when he saw it. That's it without barracks, otherwise these unstable elements can be directly pulled to the barracks and converted into soldiers, and there are fewer people to maintain law and order, and village brave rangers like this will become the culprit of lowering law and order.
