Chapter 62 The munitions factory is completed
After entering the game again, Lao Jiu found that everything seemed to have changed, and there were novice players everywhere, as long as it was at the city gate, you could see a large number of team players.
What surprised Lao Jiu the most was that every city was recruiting a large number of absenteeism, which was a profession that could really make money quickly, and only needed to pay labor, 300-500 copper coins a day. This is almost a way to make money for the poor people.
It is equivalent to an income of tens of thousands of dollars a month, which is impossible for migrant workers to earn in reality, so a large number of players have chosen mining.
Lao Jiu also hid his identity, he changed into black clothes, changed his hairstyle, and then returned to Beilongguan with his mask.
As soon as he arrived, Lao Jiu received a good news, sure enough, a large number of ore veins were found outside the city, mainly bronze ore and iron ore, and the most surprising thing for Lao Jiu was that there was a big mine in the city, not elsewhere, just below the wild ridge, which was the source of ore found by the "ore knowers" from the stones brought out of the water.
After being confirmed by most of the ore knowledgers, the same result was obtained, that is, under the wild mountain range, there is a vein of gold, and the size of the vein is still being explored.
At present, Lao Jiu has more than 80 million gold coins in his hands, and he doesn't want this money to exist only as a string of numbers, so he immediately convened an emergency meeting, that is, the division of labor.
The construction of the four fortresses could not be stopped, so he could only gather labor from the city, and he sent Wang Dazhi to personally lead 10,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 laborers to excavate an iron mine outside Xixia Pass, and lead another 20,000 new soldiers to train troops outside Xixia Pass.
Beilong Pass is temporarily closed, and no one is allowed to approach. He transferred back Tie Zihao, asked him to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, plus 20,000 new soldiers, and then cooperated with absenteeism to mine a bronze mine outside the Dongxia Pass.
This is Lao Jiu's opportunity to give him meritorious service, let him protect his absenteeism, and at the same time, he must also temper the 20,000 recruits.
Then he let some of the old absentees lead 20,000 workers to dig mountains to build a military factory under the Cutting Dragon Mountain Range. The rest of the absentees and laborers are going all out to mine the gold and copper mines of the Wild Ridge!
This time, Lao Jiu was really bleeding heavily, there were 60,000 or 70,000 laborers used, more than 40,000 sets of weapons and armor were equipped for recruits, and the monthly salary of the workers alone was more than 600,000 gold coins.
This time it cost more than 940 million gold coins. The distressed Lao Jiu couldn't sleep for a few days, this is still the most basic equipment, no wonder I don't know that fighting is money, I used to just hear that when the cannon went off, there were ten thousand taels of gold. Now that the cannon hasn't sounded, Lao Jiu doesn't know that tens of thousands of taels have been pasted. Now Lao Jiu really understands.
Just these spear leather armor were also obtained from various cities by Lao Jiu for a day. Now, in addition to staying at the foot of the Cutting Dragon Mountain Range and supervising the construction of the military factory, Lao Jiu is waiting for the development of three ore veins.
Just three days later, the first batch of ore finally had an eyebrow, the iron ore veins had a high iron content, and they were not buried deeply, and more than 3,000 tons had been mined. And the bronze ore is only more than 500 tons, and then there are only more than 500 tons, but that is also more than 20,000 gold coins, compared to 1,500 gold coins of 3,000 tons of iron ore, which is much more.
In fact, mining iron ore at such a high price is indeed a money-losing business, but Lao Jiu can't help it, he is out of stock now. But fortunately, there are bronze mines to fill the holes. However, what surprised Lao Jiu even more was the mining of gold and copper mines, more than 100 tons in three days, which simply made Lao Jiu happy, don't look at just more than 100 tons, you must know that the price of gold and copper ore is 100 times that of bronze ore.
It's no wonder that now when you marry a daughter, you have to find someone who has a mine at home, and if you have a mine, you have endless money. Lao Jiu once again invested in manpower and began to build an ore refining plant, and it seemed that one refining plant was not enough.
The only thing that made Lao Jiu depressed was that the ore was too heavy, and there was no effective way to transport it at all, unless the road was built on a large scale. In desperation, Lao Jiu only rode the black dragon and became a porter himself.
At the same time that Lao Jiu was in pain and happy, the entire Huaxia Empire also fell into a frenzy of upgrading, and the system was rarely generous, and outside the various cities, a large number of animals appeared, which were simply inexhaustible, and all players would take time out to level up.
A smile has finally made its name in various cities. Long Sifeng also began to make every effort to renovate Xiaoyao Palace, she changed her name and directly changed it to Qinling Entertainment City! At the same time, I also made a few free cards in the game, which are the same as in reality.
From the beginning of the school year to the present, a month has passed unconsciously, and the city has entered the right track, and Qinling Entertainment City has also opened. The mining of the veins has also entered a stable state, and the amount of mining is almost the same every day.
The military factory, which Lao Jiu was fully responsible for, was finally successfully completed. The military factory in the Cutting Dragon Mountain Range mainly has five production lines, and the first production line is to produce Mo knives in the Tang Dynasty.
"Mo knife, long knife, held by infantry, Gaigu's chopping horse, the knife weighs fifteen pounds, also known as a machete, seven feet long, the blade is three feet long, the handle is four feet long, and the bottom is drilled with iron. The horse step waterway is salty and available. "This is the description on the drawing of Tang Mo's knife, and the whole knife is equivalent to 20 catties now.
The second production line produced bows and arrows from the Tang Dynasty.
All are composite reflex bows, and the range varies with the bow force, with a maximum bow force of up to 75 kg. There are 3 bowstrings and 30 arrows and a quiver (called Hulu) with the bow, and there are generally 3 kinds of arrows, one is an armored arrow; the second is the birth of the arrow; The third is a long stack of arrows. The arrows are all made of steel, according to the above three distinctions, the birch wood for the shaft of the arrow, and the goose feather for the tail of the arrow.
The third production line is the Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Mingguang armor is very awesome, when Lao Jiu saw its production process, he was really speechless, and he didn't know how people in the past made it in large quantities. Iron is first made into a nail sheet; After that, it is beaten, coarsely grinded, perforated, wronged, cut, wronged, and finely grounded; After the nail piece is processed, it is woven into a nail with a leather strip. The lining should also be hung inside to prevent abrasion of the skin.
The fourth production line produces spears from the Tang Dynasty, which is a necessary equipment for cavalry, but now Lao Jiu has no cavalry, so this production line is mainly based on the production of Mo knives for the time being.
The last line to produce is a bed crossbow!
This is the weapon with the greatest long-range lethality, the crossbow is equipped with a giant crossbow with a pulling force of 860 kg, with 7 launch slots, the longest range is more than 1 km, and the arrows used in the middle slot are more than 1 meter long. It's like a rocket cannon on the city wall. It's a pity that it costs people, and each bed crossbow requires at least 20 people to operate.
As soon as the military factory was built, Lao Jiu sent all the blacksmiths and some tailors he had recruited at the beginning, and then sent the army to collect materials and train new recruits. Now there is almost no work to do in the city, and many families still have surplus labor, so Lao Jiu once again recruited troops from within, and recruited another 40,000 soldiers.
Now there are 300,000 troops under Lao Jiu, but these 300,000 troops are really not easy to feed, the monthly military salary costs 1.5 million gold coins, and the grain and grass cost 500,000 stones, which is equivalent to 100,000 gold coins, which is not counting meat.
The military salary, food and drink are the smallest, and the most headache for Lao Jiu is the weapons and armor, this guy is directly fatal. Lao Jiu can't afford it at present, so he can only let them change it first, practice, train, etc., and come in batches. He didn't dare to mention raising soldiers by himself, for fear that others would laugh at him.
After discussing with Wang Dazhi, Lao Jiu decided to build a horse farm outside the Dongxia Pass, because outside the Dongxia Pass is the grassland, there are no powerful monsters there, Lao Jiu is ready to start building from under the Slashing Dragon Mountain Range, cutting the Slashing Dragon Mountain Range, and using the wall to build a breeding farm five miles wide and ten miles long.
The breed they chose is a kind of horned magic horse on the grassland outside, although the temperament is a little fierce, but the physical strength and endurance are very strong, this kind of horse is pitch black, running like flying, so Wang Dazhi suggested that Lao Jiu choose this kind of horned magic horse.
This is the direction of the next Lao Jiu's plan, he directly asked the recruits to start building a breeding farm, and let Tie Zihao be responsible for cleaning up the dangers that may be around him, because Tie Zihao's bronze vein is not far from here.
At the same time, Lao Jiu also sent scouts to conduct statistical reconnaissance of the terrain and prey within a radius of 100 miles of the city. To detail the map, as well as the types and approximate number of various Warcraft.
Lao Jiu can be said to be in a race against time. Because once the prey inside the empire is cleaned up, then players who want to get out of the customs will definitely discover the secrets of the North Dragon Pass, so Lao Jiu must have enough self-protection qualifications before the city is exposed.
It was quite fast to cut down the mountains and build a wall on the spot, and only a few stables and breeders' dwellings were built under the mountain, and with the efforts of a large number of soldiers, everything was built in only three days.
For the capture of the horned demon horse, Lao Jiu did not do it himself, but Ma Jun personally went to catch it, as long as the head horse was caught, the other horses would follow into the pasture. There are not many horned demon horses on this grassland, and after a few days of round-up, the horse army only got more than 3,000.
Although there are so many horned demon horses in the ranch, but there are not many who are really tamed, if you want to make these horned demon horses with a strong temperament succumb, it obviously takes time, and this old nine has no choice but to wait.
During this period, Mi Baoer, who had finished military training, was finally smuggled to Beilongguan by Long Sifeng, these days, he has been accompanied by Long Sifeng to understand the situation in the city, Lao Jiu did not go to see Mi Baoer, which made Long Sifeng very puzzled, of course, only Lao Jiu knew that it was not time yet.
Lao Jiu has been waiting, he believes that this day will not be too long, as long as he is secretly optimistic, his prey will not be stolen. With the end of military training, the new school flower list has also come out, and Mi Baoer has become the first civilian school flower in the entire college, and has been well evaluated by alumni, almost catching up with the royal sister of the year.
