Chapter 455: Poplar Town (Happy Fourth Day of the Lunar New Year!!)

From this day on, Lin Ze asked Lin Hu and them to follow, and Xu Sheng led the team to stay in the Qianhusuo, and began to reorganize the army of the Qianhusuo, clear the old, weak, sick and disabled, and recruit young and strong people to join the army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, those old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, Lin Ze will not directly retire and leave it alone, he has given enough compensation, enough for these people to go home and live well.

As for Lin Ze himself, he took Jin Yuan, Cheng Huai'an, and Zhou Linhai and other people he liked from the Thousand Households in Mozhen, and he did not rest at all, and directly inspected the Thousand Households in Mozhen, as well as some of the subordinate Hundred Households.

Mozhen is also a military town, and it is also prepared for the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City, so there are still some hundred households under it.

In addition to the two military towns of Huangsha Town and Qingshu Town, there are also 15 military towns under the jurisdiction of Mozhen Qianhu, including Zhulin Town, Huaiyang Town, Yangshu Town, and Zhouyi Town.

When Lin Ze and the others came down to inspect, the officers of each hundred households were working hard, wanting to leave a good impression in Lin Ze's heart, but with what Lin Ze saw now, the situation in the military towns of each hundred households was very bad, and the difference was not big, there was a large number of military fields that were occupied, a large number of soldiers were paid empty salaries, and there was a lack of irrigation facilities, and the conditions for cultivation were extremely simple, and it could even be said that they were completely dependent on the sky for food, which led to the extremely poor development of these hundred households, and the faces of the people inside were numb, which was no different from those people in the thousands of households in Mozhen。

Seeing these situations, Lin Ze couldn't even frown, how could he be happy in his heart, so it was conceivable that the officers of the various hundred households would slap Lin Ze's ass.

If it weren't for Lin Ze's new official taking office, he would have cleaned up these moths a long time ago, and now let them go for the time being, and when everything is on the right track, Lin Ze will clean up this group of moths.

On the third day, Lin Ze led a group of people to the 100 households in Yangshu Town, Hu Wei and several other general flags and small flags were at the gate of the town to respectfully greet Lin Ze and his party.

For Poplar Town, Lin Ze attaches great importance to it, and it can be said that it is one of the most valued among the other dozen or so hundred households in Moshu Town.

The reason why Poplar Town is valued so much by Lin Ze is because Poplar Town has an important terrain, located on the pass road at the intersection of Mozhen Qianhusuo, Linsha City and Tianqian City, and the terrain here is dangerous, as long as three or four hundred people are stationed here, they can defend against the enemy from the direction of Tianyan City.

There are only three main streets and more than a dozen alleys in Yangshu Town, and there are a lot of people in it, but there are only about 50,000 or 60,000 people, which is still a lot different from Huangsha Town and Mozhen.

Before Lin Ze arrived, Huangsha Town had a population of 100,000, and now with the hundreds of thousands of people in the camp camp, the population of Huangsha Town has reached nearly 300,000.

Because Mozhen is a thousand-household place, and it is also a very important material supply place in Tianqian City, the population here is quite large, with a total of 350,000 people.

Poplar Town has a large population, but perhaps because Poplar Town is located in the semi-desert area in the northwest of Shazhou, and there is less arable land around, the people in Poplar Town are poorer than Huangsha Town and Qingshu Town.

The so-called three main streets in Poplar Town are actually just three dirt roads with wider ones, the roads are full of potholes, and there are some shops on both sides of the street, but these shops are some very simple houses, most of them are still one-storey, and even two-story shops are rare.

Most of the people walking on the road were ragged, shivering from the cold, and their faces were waxy yellow, and they looked like people who had not eaten much.

As for some other things, if they were very tattered, Lin Ze even thought for a moment that he had come to a poor area of the earth.

The best building in Yangshu Town is the hundred households, which is the same as some official offices in China, even if the local conditions are poor, even directly in the extremely flat and poor areas of China, the local yamen is definitely similar to the yamen in other developed areas, and even has to come well.

The people in Yangshu Town were very miserable, but Hu Wei, who was a hundred households, was still very wealthy, and after welcoming Lin Ze and them into the hundred households, he began to entertain Lin Ze and them.

Maybe through the understanding in the past few days, Hu Wei knows Lin Ze's character and is not the kind of person who enjoys, so Hu Wei didn't take out any more good things, just killed a pig, and got some local specialties to greet Lin Ze and other big shots.

Respectful and sycophantic to Hu Wei, especially after seeing that Hu Wei had specially arranged a few beautiful maids for himself, Lin Ze smiled, and then asked Hu Wei directly: "Lord Hu, I heard that there is an iron mine in the mountains near Yangshu Town?"

Why Lin Ze attaches so much importance to Poplar Town, and this nearby iron mine is also one of the reasons.

Lin Ze wants to equip his army with powerful weapons and armor, then he must have a lot of steel, besides, Lin Ze wants to build the Half Moon Valley Reservoir, steel and other building materials, and he needs a lot, and now the rebellion in Qingzhou of Chu is very strong, and the price of iron in Chu has risen ten times more than before, Lin Ze is rich, but no matter how rich he is, he will not spend this unjust money.

What's more, in the information prepared by Lin Ze, there are more information on ironmaking, as long as there is enough iron ore, Lin Ze will no longer have to worry about any steel, when Lin Ze is preparing to build his own iron-making plant, he will hit the idea on the iron mine in Yangshu Town, which is not far from Huangsha Town.

Although there is no shortage of iron ore in the Blackstone Mountains, the Blackstone Mountains are a little far away from Huangsha Town, about 100 kilometers, and Yangshu Town is only about 20 miles away from Huangsha Town, which is too different.

Moreover, on the Blackstone Mountain Range, there are still a large number of brute beasts, many of which are innate brute beasts, if Lin Ze goes to the Blackstone Mountain Range to mine iron ore, the safety of the iron ore will not be guaranteed.

The movement of mining iron ore is really too big, and it will definitely attract the attention of the brute beasts on the Blackstone Mountain Range, and when the time comes, those brute beasts who are frightened or feel that their territory has been invaded will continue to attack the iron mine.

At that time, Lin Ze didn't have to do anything else, just dealing with these brute beasts would take all of Lin Ze's time.

In this way, where would Lin Ze go to the Blackstone Mountains to mine iron ore.

Unless Lin Ze couldn't find a more suitable place to mine iron ore in other places, and there were a large number of Innate Brute Beasts in his hands, Lin Ze would consider going to the Blackstone Mountain Range to open a metal mine.

However, now that there is a more suitable mining site in Poplar Town, Lin Ze will certainly not go to the Blackstone Mountains, which are extremely dangerous and extremely inconvenient to transport.

Hu Wei did not hesitate, and quickly replied: "My lord, there is such an iron mine, located in the Fire Cow Valley, it is an iron-rich mine, and the quality of the iron is not bad, but it is inconvenient to mine, there is a group of tens of thousands of fire armor cattle in the Fire Cow Valley, and the leader is the eighth-level fire armor cow of the day after tomorrow, the strength is extremely strong, and we are not opponents at all."

In the past, we only took the fire-armored ox to mate on the Wanli Sand Sea, and went to the fire-armored cow valley to collect some iron ore, this period of time, only one and a half months, and the rest of the time, there was the world of the fire-armored cow, my lord, you ask, is it ......... ”

Hu Wei looked at Lin Ze a little hesitantly, he could see that Lin Ze seemed to be here for this iron mine.

"Oh, there are actually tens of thousands of fire-armored cows, what an unexpected joy!" Lin Ze's eyes lit up.

Lin Ze has been using killer bees to find traces of the fire-armored cow before, but until now, Lin Ze has not found many traces of the fire-armored cow, and the fire-armored cow will only go to the sea of sand to mate during the estrus period every year.

However, unexpectedly, now Lin Ze got the news of the fire armor cow in Hu Wei's mouth, at this moment, Lin Ze really had a feeling in his heart that he had broken through the iron shoes and had nowhere to go, and it took no effort to get it!

As for what Hu Wei said was a huge herd of fire-armored cows, the leading fire-armored cow in it was even an eighth-level brute beast, Lin Ze didn't care about this matter at all.

Even before Lin Ze went to Baizhang Flame, he would not be afraid of these fire-armored cows, not to mention that now Lin Ze had obtained so many innate level brute beasts in Baizhang Flame, just an acquired eighth-level brute beast, Lin Ze really didn't care about it.

Of course, some people will say, isn't there more than 10,000 other fire-armored cows, so many fire-armored cows, the threat is not small.

Yes, the threat of more than 10,000 fire armor cattle is not small, but Lin Ze does not take it to heart.

If Lin Ze could ignore the casualties of the Fire Armor Ox, his army could easily wipe out more than 10,000 Fire Armor Oxen, but the casualties of the Fire Armor Ox would definitely be very large at that time, so Lin Ze would not choose to do this.

This time, Lin Ze was going to use the giant blood centipede that he had previously subdued in Baizhang Flame to deal with the fire armor herd.

The giant blood centipede had been hit hard before, but after more than half a month of recuperation, the injuries on its body had almost healed, and Lin Ze had already planted a puppet mark on it.

The giant blood centipede is a quasi-congenital brute beast, and its own strength is extremely powerful, and the leader of the eighth-level fire armor cow in the day after tomorrow can't pass a single move in its hands, but this time Lin Ze wants to use not the powerful strength of the giant blood centipede, but the second is to use its poisonous mist, a powerful poisonous mist.

Of the more than 10,000 fire-armored cows, Lin Ze had to capture them all alive, and if he wanted to capture these fire-armored cows alive, the best way was to make them lose their resistance.

The best way to make a firearmoured cow lose its resistance is to poison it.
