"Little Marquis, I don't know why you are not going to mine the big iron ore near the Tongmen River?" After hearing Wang Ze's opinion, he looked at Wang Ze, who was already extremely tall in front of him.

Maybe he thought that Wang Ze was worried that the mine was too close to Goguryeo, so he hesitated a little, so Yang Ku persuaded again: "I also know that this iron mine is very close to Goguryeo, but now this Tongmen River is already our territory, we still have troops stationed there, and Goguryeo's army has retreated to Luojin City, so it is okay for us to mine there on a certain scale?" ”

He was extremely pleased with the new discovery of this iron ore by Yu Feng and others, and he was very distressed by a series of contradictions caused by the lack of iron ore in the East China Sea during these times.

According to the speculation of Yu Feng and others, even if this iron mine is too close to Goguryeo to be fully mined, it can provide tens of millions of catties of iron ore and millions of catties of raw and wrought iron for the counties of the East China Sea every year without affecting too much movement.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Ku received the information sent by Yu Feng and others, he was calmed by this good news, and then he couldn't wait to report the good news to Wang Ze.

I thought that Wang Ze would also be pleasantly surprised, and then lay out the layout to mine the iron ore here, but after Wang Ze knew the news, he was not too surprised, but only appreciated it, and then clearly denied the proposal to mine this iron ore.

In the past, due to the lack of iron, various mines and workshops in the East China Sea were greatly affected, but now that they have found iron ore, why should they not be mined?

If it is said that it is because of Goguryeo, Yang Ku also knows that there are some, but after Goguryeo retreated from the vicinity of the Tongmen River Estuary, their closest stronghold from here is also Luojin City, which is 200 miles away, so why would the little marquis refuse?

Facing Yang Ku's puzzled face, Wang Ze helplessly and happily took out another letter, and then handed it to Yang Ku and said: "Sir, let's see it yourself, if these good news don't come, it won't come, but as soon as it comes, it will start to pile up, from now on we don't have to worry about iron anymore!" ”

After Yang Ku took the letter in Wang Ze's hand and read it, he immediately said to Wang Ze in surprise: "What, the survey team sent by Jiangkou City also found a large iron ore near the Tongtong River?" Then he reconfirmed it again in disbelief and said in surprise: "I found two extra-large iron mines at once!" ”

"It's incredible!" It wasn't until he handed the letter in his hand to Wang Ze that Yang Ku still had some incredible thoughts in his mouth, he had been killed before and had not been able to find a large iron mine in the East China Sea, but in the place that he thought was remote and cold, three large iron mines were found at once.

Wang Ze was also deeply touched by the shock of sheep withering, in order to find iron ore in the East China Sea, it can be said that tens of thousands of people were sent to look around, but the result was that he had not been able to find a medium-sized iron ore mine, but the northeast was actually three large iron mines in succession.

The two iron ores in the Tongjiang River basin were basically found in Maozi's territory, and the iron ore found by Yu Feng and others near the Tongmen River Wang Ze knew that it should be the Maoshan iron ore of the Beibangzi family in the later generations, and it was also an iron ore with very high reserves and taste.

If he hadn't found the iron ore on the side of the Tongtong River this time, Wang Ze would probably have spent his blood to mine this Maoshan iron mine, even if he had to fight a few big battles with Goguryeo, but since there were already two large iron mines, it would be a little worthless to fight against Goguryeo because of this Maoshan iron mine.

Wang Ze had to sigh, this place in the Northeast is really a treasure land, and he has just found so many good things after a preliminary survey, so in addition to not letting others occupy such a treasure land, it is more reassuring to occupy it himself.

After waiting for a long time, the sheep withered and finally recovered a lot, and his mood finally calmed down from the excitement, at this time he looked at Wang Ze with a red face and said: "Little Hou Ye, since there are so many good things in such a treasure land, I don't know what arrangements Xiao Hou Ye has for the future?" ”

Since there are two large iron ore mines in the Tongjiang River Basin, Yangku no longer insists on mining the Maoshan Iron Ore near the Tongmen River, which is too close to Goguryeo anyway, and it will be a big hidden danger in the future.

As a result, the resettlement construction of the Tongjiang River basin began to become a little impatient, and there was no way to mine the iron ore earlier, so that the economy of the East China Sea would return to normal one day earlier, and Wang Ze did not want to use iron as currency after his rule.

Wang Ze thought for a while and said to Yang Ku: "Mr. Yang, now we have three things that we need to do urgently, the first is to immediately announce to the people of the entire East China Sea that we have found two super-large iron mines in the land of Beji!" ”

After hearing Wang Ze's words, Yang Ku nodded again and again: "This is inevitable, now because the price of iron is becoming more and more expensive, the people do not know the market, for the sake of insurance, they like to buy and hoard for the future, and announce the good news earlier, which is also conducive to stabilizing the price of iron!" ”

In later generations, some people like to grab shopping materials as soon as they encounter some inexplicable rumors, and then hoard them, whether they already have enough things for their own use for decades. absolutely

Nowadays, of course, there are such people among the people of the East China Sea, even if they have too many iron tools at home, but they still actively participate in the purchase of iron tools, which causes the price of iron tools to rise even more.

Wang Ze is also helpless for this kind of person, after all, these people didn't buy so many iron tools to sell them for profit, so Wang Ze had no way to punish them with the law, and Wang Ze really wanted to say to these people, 'Auntie, the iron tools you bought are enough for your great-grandson!' ’

"I don't know if the second point of the little marquis is going to prepare to mine the iron ore in these two places?" The sheep twisted the beard on his chin and said with a smile on his face.

Wang Ze smiled slightly and nodded: "That's right, the land of Beji is fertile, and it is where my Han people's best home is, and the land here is sparsely populated enough to accommodate tens of millions of my people, and it just so happens that we need to mine the iron ore in these two places, so let's just do it together!" ”

Seeing that Wang Ze had a big plan, Yang Ku took out a set of paper and pencils from his sleeve pocket very neatly, the paper was a booklet made of good white paper in the East China Sea, and the pen was a pencil made by the people of Xia County using local cork and graphite, etc., and this kind of pencil has become popular in the East China Sea recently.

Wang Ze said slowly: "Our first stage is to focus on the mining of these two iron mines, so I plan to move Cao Lei and his iron workshop there first!" This would also make it easier for him to produce and smelt there, after all, there wasn't much iron ore in the East China Sea! ”

While remembering Wang Ze's speech, Yang Ku didn't forget to make a suggestion in his mouth: "In fact, the old man thinks that it is better for the little marquis to ask the blacksmith Cao from Jun Hou, he is also staring at those small iron mines in Changguang County all day long, or come over early, and he can also help the little marquis!" ”

After hearing Yang Ku's suggestion, Wang Ze was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said to Yang Ku: "It's still Mr. reminded me in time, but I almost forgot, but Cao Blacksmith is my elder after all, let's wait until I return to Sanqi after the New Year, and then pick him up in person!" ”

I don't say much about these sheep withering, anyway, he is just making suggestions, and it will only be a boss like Wang Ze who will make the final decision, although this boss is really a little younger.

After watching the sheep wither write and draw on the paper, Wang Ze continued: "While mining iron ore, we are going to prepare for the immigrants in the Tongjiang River Basin, I hope to let the people in the counties of the East China Sea who are preparing to emigrate sign up by themselves, but we will give priority to the retired soldiers who have participated in various wars, and the rest are at least young and strong who are proficient in martial arts!" ”

Although a small part of the Heishui tribe in the Tongjiang River basin has been incorporated by Wang Ze, and most of the remaining tribes are also tribes that have a good relationship with Wang Ze's side, with the increase in Wang Ze's migratory population, the relationship between the two sides is still likely to become bad.

In addition, many Beji Savage tribes outside of the Black Water Department are not too friendly to outsiders, and many times they are very aggressive.

For this reason, Wang Ze is prepared to take precautions, and the people who emigrated in advance can still have some strength to protect themselves, so that in case of a situation, these immigrants can quickly form an army with rich combat experience, which is also a relatively large deterrent to the surrounding tribes.

After seeing that Wang Ze had finished talking about the matter, Yang Ku began to put forward his own opinions: "Little Marquis, I think that the development of Tongjiang and the development of Zhenjiang are inseparable!" If we want to ensure the safety of the Tongjiang River Basin, then the construction of Zhenhai is urgent! ”

"Oh? I hope that Mr. quotes are also available! Wang Ze still has a lot of respect for the sheep wither, and when he heard that the sheep withered had a different opinion, Wang Ze immediately put on a look of deafness.

He was already somewhat immune to Wang Ze's sheep withering, he pointed to the map in the hall and said to Wang Ze: "Little Marquis, please see, this land of Zhenhai is the most important place in the entire Beji land facing the northeast of Goguryeo, if this place can be firmly in our hands, then the entire Mingtong River is our rear!" ”

Wang Ze nodded very approvingly with the analysis of Yang Ku, and then Yang Ku said: "But if we only focus on the construction of the Mingtong River basin and ignore the construction of Zhenhai, in case Goguryeo takes the opportunity to occupy it in the future, then they can attack the entire Mingtong River from Zhenhai from several directions!" ”

Wang Ze only thought that since the Tongjiang River was so far away from Goguryeo, he didn't expect this, and because the mouth of the Tongmen River was occupied by his own side, Wang Ze didn't take it to heart, anyway, he would build a shipyard in Zhenhai in the future.

Now that Yang Kuyi reminded him, he suddenly thought of the danger, in case Goguryeo was unwilling to fail this time, and waited until the next year or even the year after tomorrow, and suddenly made a surprise attack on Zhenhai, then he would no longer have a contemptuous attitude towards himself.

The Goguryeo army, which officially took itself as an opponent, was very capable of seizing Zhenhai, and thinking of this, Wang Zexia decided: "Okay, since this is the case, it will be built together with Zhenhai!" ”
