Long Xi raised his whip and pointed to a small sapling in front of him: "Walk forward for a while, and you will arrive." ”

Because the saplings were too dense to even get through the horses, the two had to tie the horses nearby and walk inside.

After walking for about half an hour, he finally saw a cave in front of him, and Long Xilin stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "The iron mine is over there." ”

So, the two of them walked into the cave together.

It said it was a cave, but when I walked in, it was a tunnel, and after walking through the tunnel, about ten meters, the front suddenly opened up.

At the end of the tunnel, there are some bumpy mountain forts, all piled with rocks.

Long Xilin secretly said in his heart: Xu Youcai is really careful, he covered this place with rocks, and these stones were paved like natural, if he hadn't known that this was the place where they had mined iron ore before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find this place anyway.

"Brother Jiang, is this the iron mine you are talking about?"

Mapp looked around for the location of the iron ore.

Long Xilin took two steps forward, squatted down, and cut some of the gravel on the ground, revealing the stones inside.

Long Xilin picked up a stone, only to see that the stone was different from ordinary stones, with a faint red on the surface, which was the color of hematite.

As soon as Mapus saw the stone, his eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly, reached out and snatched the hematite from Long Xilin's hand, and looked down over and over again.

While looking at it, he said excitedly: "It's iron ore, it's iron ore, and looking at this color, the iron content is still very high." ”

As he spoke, he laughed heartily, and while laughing, he patted Long Xilin's shoulder: "Brother Jiang, this time, you have made a great contribution." ”

Long Xilin hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Jiang Lin is willing to serve the adult." ”

"Haha, good!" Mepsi laughed and said: "A talent like Brother Jiang, just being a businessman is really a waste, you say, what kind of official do you want to be, within this Anjiang City, I have the right to appoint any official." ”

Long Xilin thought for a while and said: "The mountain road here is rugged and difficult to travel, and my lord is afraid that he will be busy with official business and cannot take care of it, I am willing to share my worries for my lord, please give me this opportunity." ”

"Hahaha." Maples smiled happily: "You are really understanding, Lord Ben is indeed very busy, and this place is remote, it is a little difficult to run back and forth here every day, and now you are willing to help Lord Ben, Lord Ben is very happy." ”

Long Xilin hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, sir." ”

Maples said: "Don't be busy saying thank you first, this is a big deal, even if I don't do it myself, I will find someone to do it, if you really have this heart, then just help in your free time." ”

The unusual work of ironmaking, Mampus didn't know much about Long Xilin now, so he didn't dare to hand over such an important matter to him alone.

Long Xilin nodded: "Of course you can, the adults will arrange it first, I will go out of the city first, and bring in some of the goods that the adults ordered before, and after this batch of goods is finished, I will come to assist in this matter." ”

"Okay."

After that, the two returned the same way, went to the car shop and retreated their horses, drove their carriage, and went outside the city of Anjiang City.

Back in Shuangjiang City, Long Xilin took advantage of the purchase of goods to meet with his people, telling them that things were going well, and it would not be long before Mapusi would hand over the iron-making matter to him, and when the time came, he would put his own people in again.
