Seeing Li Kang coming over, Dong Wuqiang hurriedly turned sideways to make way of the place, and at the same time said: "The subordinates can't say clearly, I feel as if I have tripped over something." ”

Li Kang squatted down, brushed away the weeds with both hands, and then he saw a dark red stone, and his face couldn't help but show disappointment.

He had imagined that it would be a piece of dog's head gold weighing several kilograms!

[Sure enough, the child of destiny or something is. 】

After a little self-deprecation in his heart, Li Kang picked up the stone and looked at it carefully, although he didn't recognize what kind of stone it was, but his intuition told him that this stone was useful.

So he stood up, held the stone flat, looked around, and said, "Do any of you know what this stone is?"

When everyone heard this, they came over one after another, pretended to observe, and then shook their heads in unison, indicating that they didn't know.

Li Kang silently stuffed the stone into his pocket, planning to go back and ask Blacksmith Zhang, maybe he would know him.

"Dian Wei, remember this direction, we may need it here in the future. At this time, their location was already located at the foot of the mountain in the south of the grassland, looking at the bare mountain in front of him, Li Kang instructed Dian Wei.

"No!" Dian Wei nodded in agreement, his eyes scanning all around, mentally memorizing a few nearby references.

After this little episode, everyone continued on their return journey, following a twisted and crooked route, and finally returned to the edge of the forest to the west when the sun was setting, and then plunged into it.

Before they came back, the hunting team led by Ping Zhenqi had already returned one step earlier, and at this time they were beckoning the left-behind personnel to help deal with the prey, seeing that they were talking and laughing, indicating that today's harvest was good and won a good start.

In this regard, Li Kang was very happy, and immediately talked to Ping Zhenqi and Shan Cheng, focusing on asking about the casualties of the hunting team, and only after learning that the hunting team was intact did he turn the topic to today's hunting process.

Originally, I thought it was just a formality, going through a process, urging them to learn from experience, summarize lessons, and then encourage the hunting team well, and let them go down to rest.

Who knows, they actually asked the question.

First of all, there is the problem of bows and arrows, and the four hunters fled from their hometown without any guys.

Originally, Li Kang was going to exchange four hunting bows for them, but then he forgot about it when the meeting was open, and now he has all the energy to buy rice, and he can't buy bows if he wants to, which is too embarrassing!

At the same time, this also made Li Kang realize his own shortcomings, there is no discipline in doing things, a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and he wants to come out of it.

It's bad, and it has to be changed.

It's best to find someone in the house to help you out.

At that moment, Li Kang had no choice but to ask them to carry forward the spirit of "self-reliance, hard work and simplicity", and make earthen bows by themselves to cope with a few days.

In addition, Ping Zhenqi also mentioned a problem, that is, the lack of Lang Zhong.

Even according to Li Kang's assessment, the area they are located in is similar to the temperate zone on the earth, and there is no threat of miasma, but this is a primeval forest after all, poisonous insects and beasts are indispensable, and injuries will appear sooner or later, especially the hunting team that has to drill into the ravines every day.

Li Kang was in a heavy mood, he spent money chic before, but now he regrets dying.

What can he do if he has no money!

Fortunately, he was originally going to let the hunting team move the hunting area from tomorrow and go to the eastern grassland, where the vision is wide and the animals are docile, which can effectively reduce the injury rate of the soldiers.

After the two of them retreated, Li Kang called the village chief Zhao Siye and the blacksmith Zhang Li.

"Bo Qi, you first tell me about the situation in the camp. Li Kang asked Zhao Siye seriously, the skin on his face was tight, for fear that he would laugh, it was really too coke from the words of the village elder.

"Yes. Zhao Siye first bowed respectfully, and then said: "According to the instructions of the lord, Sun stonemason has polished ten stone axes in advance and handed them over to Qingzhuang for logging, because the stone axes are dull, they can only cut some small trees for the time being, but it is enough to make wooden fences." Now except for the river, the other three sides of the mansion have been fenced. ”

Well, Li Kang saw this when he came back, and not only that, but he also found that some shacks had been built around his house.

This made Li Kang look at these half-dead homeless people with admiration, and sure enough, the efficiency of the people when they worked for themselves was quite considerable.

Yu Guang glanced at Li Kang, and seeing that his face showed a look of satisfaction, Zhao Siye breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt very proud.

Seeing that Li Kang showed a listening gesture again, Zhao Siye hurriedly continued: "There are still a lot of ropes left after the fence is tied, and the subordinates take it upon themselves to let the women weave fishing nets and prepare to try their luck in the river tomorrow, maybe they can relieve the pressure on food a little." ”

Hearing this, Li Kang was even more satisfied, and the depression caused by the bow and arrow problem just now suddenly poured out, and said appreciatively: "Bo Qi has done a good job, he has the courage to do things, and he should continue to maintain it." ”

"Yes, thank you for the praise of the lord, and the subordinates should work hard. Zhao Siye hurriedly agreed.

"Well, also, you are going to arrange for some people to find some clay along the river for pottery burning, and there are still many people who do not have bowls to eat, so you should settle it as soon as possible. Li Kang instructed, "It's getting late today, let's take this to heart tomorrow, and order it early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, my subordinates remember. ”

"Of course, if you have any ideas for yourself, you can do it under the current conditions, as long as it is useful, you can start to do it, you don't need to tell me in advance, just show me the results when the time comes. Li Kang smiled, "I still have something to ask Blacksmith Zhang, and you can stay and take a look." ”

Then he took out a few colorful stones from his arms, including the one that made Dong Wuqiang wrestle, put them on the conference table one by one, made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Li, and said, "Can Blacksmith Zhang recognize one or two?"

Zhang Li took the stones on the table in a restrained manner, and carefully went through them one by one in front of him, sometimes excited, sometimes confused, and waited until he saw the last one, and then said nervously to Li Kang: "Back to the lord's words, these stones, the villain only knows this one, and the others can't be named."

The stone he was referring to happened to be the dark red "wrestling stone".

"Oh?" Li Kang suddenly became interested, he didn't expect this blacksmith to really know one, he immediately sat up straight, and asked, "Then what kind of stone is this?"

"This is iron ore!" Zhang Zhang saw that Li Kang didn't blame him for being useless, and he had a score in his heart.

"What, really?" Li Kang was overjoyed, although he didn't get the dog's head gold, but the iron ore was enough to make him happy.

And this ore is rich in iron, and it can be thrown directly into the furnace to make iron. Zhang Zhang unhurriedly put another salute flower for Li Kang.

"Hahaha..." Li Kang stood up happily, reached out and took the iron ore in his hand and stroked it, and his face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Suddenly, he remembered something, quickly put away his smile, covered his gaffe, straightened his voice, and asked, "With our current conditions, can we open a furnace to make iron?"

Although he had heard the terms "blast furnace ironmaking" and "furnace ironmaking", he also knew a rough idea, and if you asked him to explain the operation process in detail, it would never be possible.

"Yes, yes, but...", Zhang Li wanted to speak and stopped, for fear that saying it would make Li Kang angry.

"It's just what?" Li Kang frowned, he hated people who didn't speak happily the most in his life, and he couldn't help but be impatient in his words.

"Yes, yes... It's just that now there are few people and animals, and it is impossible to drive the wind wind/tuo\, and the wind is not enough, and the heat of the furnace fire cannot rise, so the pig iron smelted in this way is hard and brittle, and it is of little use. Zhang Zhang wiped his sweat, and his voice became smaller and quieter, but fortunately, the explanation was quite clear.

As an engineering scumbag and amateur of history, although Zhang Li's words have no beginning or end, Li Kang can barely understand them.

In the final analysis, it is the lack of power, which he can think of a way to replace, in this primitive society, what can replace manpower is nothing more than water power, wind power and so on.

However, it is true that a little use of water power can be used to blow wind, but it is necessary to use people to build blast furnaces and transport iron ore.

He even needed carts and mules to transport the iron ore, and he had to keep the blast furnace near the camp, which was too small to be stationed in two places.

There are too few people!

But if there are more people, there will not be enough food.

The key is still the issue of money, as long as you have money, you have everything.

[Hey, poor!] Thinking of the big "0" on the gold and energy lines in the introduction, Li Kang was frustrated.

"Huh?" Li Kang, who was going to let the two of them retreat, suddenly found that the system had updated two pieces of information.
