Chapter 587: A Flock of Gold

After making sure that these soldiers were already moved, the viscount didn't want to force them to express their stance immediately: "Wait for everyone to cultivate for a day or two, and then consider my proposal before making a decision." I'll talk to the front: Everyone's expenses in Ruoqiang, I have covered the Seven Swords Mercenary Group, and the wine and meat are enough! But if I find out that someone is harassing the local women and plundering the common people who have just brought us rations, I don't know you with the iron gun in my hand - I will kill all those who violate military discipline! After two days, the troops will be pulled to Katrich to begin the construction of the infrastructure of the copper mine. Everyone's salary will be recorded from today: two silver coins a day, all inclusive of food and housing! ”

After settling the Callemaks, the viscount immediately assigned a task to the people of Gakp: "King Khan, let your soldiers immediately go to Jimo, Yutian and other places to buy grain and livestock. I'll send someone to pay the coins. ”

Manas didn't know why: "Teacher, I just experienced such a big battle, and many people were injured. Don't our soldiers need to be cultivated? ”

"That's where you should learn," he laughs. At the head of the sea, we and the Callemaks face a common enemy that must be in this boat to survive. Now, the hatred between each other has been dissolved a lot, but there is still the possibility of friction and fire, and a big fight! The Callemaks have other uses, so the task of purchasing grain can only be carried out by us! ”

The viscount smiled: "Let you do this thing, and you can also exercise the soldier's ability to deal with civil affairs; Bringing back supplies, at least some of the Kalemak soldiers will be grateful to the Kirgiz. Kill three birds with one stone! Manas, are you willing to accept this task? ”

Manas is not high enough, but he has royal blood and can command his own army. The young man gladly accepted the order, and before sunset, he pulled all the Kyrgyz soldiers who could move out of Ruoqiang.

The next day, when they learned that the Kirghiz had set out to collect food for everyone despite their pain, the Kalemak soldiers were deeply moved, and there were far fewer people who drank and made noise. In order to 'suppress' this army and prevent trouble, the Seven Swords people also gave up all leveling and exploration operations, and stayed in the city to help Duck deal with people's livelihood.

Nanguo Red Bean and Full Moon West Tower find Twilight Boss: "The mission is over, I don't know if you still have something to borrow from our people - some people feel that the rewards for this trip to the war are a bit small, and they want to go around elsewhere in the space." ”

"What's getting better?" Viscount Twilight vetoed: "According to the usual practice, there will be several new dungeons here by tomorrow - there are five bosses - Ju Ruichao, Hao Sven, Stein, Marquez and Skeletron need to be attacked, and the level is at least fifty-five!" Where do you want to go? Don't you want to see if you have a chance to leave your name at the entrance of the dungeon? ”

Well, these people also honestly stayed.

It wasn't until the third day that the adventurers and Callemaks joined forces again and followed Katrich towards the village of Katrich. This mountain village, unheard of by many, is located at the foot of the Altyn Mountains, and is more backward than Yuqi Tashi. With the help of Aldeck, Darker began to build a monument to the Scourge of the Deadβ€”and the wages were still paid by the Seven Swords!

There are only a dozen or so households in the village of Katrishi, scattered on a separate map at the foot of the mountain. When the herdsmen saw a large group of foreign soldiers and adventurers coming here, they were terrified and did not dare to flee. It was only after someone recognized Katrich that the village returned to a little calm.

Boss Su shouted to Sanqi to open the door: "Miss Shi, follow and take a look, if you find any of the two plants and medicines, milk vetch and sorrel mold, notify a few miners!" ”

Sanqi was puzzled: "Didn't you come to find a copper mine?" Why did you change it to medicine collection? ”

"Not only can medicinal herbs be sold for money, but they can also help us find copper mines. Both of these plants are common in copper-mining areas. ”

What is milk vetch, of course Sanqi knows when he opens the door. This is a common medicinal herb, Astragalus is a biennial herbaceous plant, creeping and multi-branched, up to 30 cm high, odd pinnate compound leaves, petioles shorter than the leaf axis. Leaves detached, leaflets obovate or elliptic, apex obtuse or slightly concave, base broadly wedge-shaped, nearly glabrous above, scattered white pubescence below, racemes, flowers umbel-shaped; peduncle axillary, bracts triangular-ovate, peduncle short; Calyx bell-shaped, calyx lanceolate, corolla purplish-red or orange-yellow, flag petals obovate, petals oblong, pods linear-oblong, seeds kidney-shaped, chestnut-brown, flowering in spring and summer, fruiting in late spring and summer.

However, milk vetch is mostly distributed in high-altitude slopes, streams and humid places in the Yangtze River Basin. Sanqi found a few places where there were a few sparse drops, and the growth was also sluggish, and even used it to make medicinal materials felt that the quality was too poor. Panax notoginseng didn't know what a sorrel was, but after a while, I learned that this was a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Knotweed, a perennial herbaceous plant that can reach a height of up to one meter, and the leaves have deep grooves, usually unbranched. The latitude, longitude and altitude distribution of this plant coincide with that of the Western Regions. It is mostly born on hillsides, forest edges, ditch edges, and roadsides.

The sour mold is rich in vitamins and oxalic acid, tastes sour, and is often used as a seasoning, but it is not a medicinal material.

Several miners followed behind Sanqi, rummaging through the stones they saw along the way, but never found any copper ore.

In vain, he was bored and winked at the Murati ghost: "Murat, is there a copper mine here?" ”

Murat looked very seriously: "In reality, there are still one of the few high-quality copper mines in the country. If the system aunt had this setting, we would definitely be able to find it. ”

Boss Su was also upset: in order to find the copper mine, he also deliberately carried Andrew's mine pickaxe in his hand to improve his mining skills! Is it true that the system doesn't have a copper mine here? Guide Katrich walked a few steps ahead of him, muttering something incessantly. "What's in your mouth?" The viscount asked him.

"I've been praying," Katrich said. Pray to Grandpa Mountain God for us to find the copper mine. In this way, we have the hope of making a fortune in this poor and remote country! ”

The viscount felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say what was wrong, so he simply let Jin Jiu fly into the sky, but from Jin Jiu's field of vision, he saw an old man wearing a broken felt hat grazing in the distance, a large flock of sheep, slowly following the old man, and behind the sheep there was a square-headed and wide-mouthed mastiff dog from time to time to drive the lone sheep back to the flock. This black dog didn't seem to be of low quality, and when Jin Jiu flew into the sky, he actually bared his teeth and began to bark at Jin Jiu. Jin Jiu was frightened and flew directly back into the sky above the Seven Swords Alliance.

"There's someone up ahead. I'll catch up and take a look. ”

The boss stepped forward, and everyone was not far behind, summoning their mounts to follow.

The sheep walk very slowly. When the mastiff saw someone chasing him, he barked several times to inform his master, and he actually rushed towards everyone. Your sister, a dog actually has level 60! If it weren't for Viscount Twilight's mount being upgraded to level fifty-five, I'm afraid he would have fled with the Viscount.

"Uncle! Wait, sir, wait for us ......."

The old man flicked his whip, and the sheep stopped, and the sheepdog ran back to the old man's feet and squatted, his eyes still fixed on the viscount.

"Young man, what's the matter with calling the old man?"

"Uncle, are you a local?" The viscount jumped off his horse and groaned in his heart: he couldn't see the rank of the old man!

Catrich also caught up: "Sir, he's not a local!" I've never seen this old man before. ”

The old man's triangular eyes rolled: "Katrishi? Is your name Suman? Your grandfather's name is Kundal! I know you for three generations, and you dare to say that I am not a local? You've been out of the village for less than ten years, haven't you? You don't even know my old man! When I tell you Baba, I'm going to have to let him whip you a few times! ”

Katrich lost his temper: "I'm sorry. It's my bad memory. Who is this grazing for? I don't know who in the village has so many beautiful flocks! ”

The flock is really beautiful! Pale golden wool, clean hooves, fat buttocks, and no visible pimples on the tails of other sheep.

The old man said, "You're right. No one has such a flock. This is the flock of several families combined. What's the matter with calling me? ”

Before the viscount could speak, Sanqi opened the door and ran to him: "Brother Orange, do you see if this is a sour mold?" ”

It is basically the same as the picture found on the Internet, that is, only half of it has been gnawed by sheep. The viscount took the sour mold: "Sir, you have been shepherding sheep here all year round, have you ever seen a large area of this plant anywhere?" ”

The old man poked the ground with his shepherd's whip: "Here you are!" But they were all eaten by my sheep. ”

No wonder we couldn't find it after looking for a long time! It's not right, even if you don't see the sour mold, there are several senior absentees here, and it is impossible to not even find a piece of copper ore! The viscount walked over and gave the old man a deep salute: "Sir, we are looking for copper ore. If we can find copper ore here, we can make a fortune and live a good life for the Ruoqiang generation! ”

"You don't fool me!" The old man was clearly well-informed: "I've met some miners. For the sake of mining, they will dig up the whole mountain in pieces, which is more ugly than mass graves! You're not welcome! ”

"Of course mining digs mountains. But rest assured, we are confident that we will turn this place into a mountain of gold and silver, and at the same time build this place into a green water and green mountains! ”

The old man said 'oh', "Let's talk about it." The old man is pleased, maybe I'll help you. ”

"Mining destroys mountains. No one can do anything about this! Our approach is to use earth elemental magic to collapse the mine after mining the ore, level it a little, and then plant trees. As long as the tree is alive, the mountain will be more beautiful! ”

The old man muttered: "That's a good thing, when people come and go, I'm afraid my old man won't even be able to sleep peacefully...... Grandpa Mountain God will also be unbearable! ”
