Chapter 141: Super Copper Mine

As the so-called husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, after Jiang Wei's hard work, he reinvigorated his husband, successfully regained the initiative, and defended his absolute status and power in Jiang's mansion.

In the following days, Jiang Wei devoted his main energy to large-scale production.

The recovery of the entire territory of Liangzhou is such a big thing, there are too many things that need to be done by yourself.

The first is to once again sacrifice Pan Ping, who is the most disciplined under his command, to be responsible for screening the former Cao Wei Wenwu officials in Liangzhou who surrendered.

Pan Ping's retention or reappointment is passed, and if it cannot be passed, severance pay will be directly paid and severance will be transferred.

After all, it is Liangzhou, which has been peacefully recovered, and has not experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and there are still many forces loyal to Cao Wei that need to be reshuffled.

Thinking that there will be no major military operations in the near future, taking advantage of the free time of the army's rest, Jiang Wei plans to inspect all parts of Liangzhou.

Then it is to urge all localities to divide the land in accordance with the policy of dividing land in Lanzhou and Yinchuan. Second, it was also through patrolling various places, and then consolidating the rule of the Han Dynasty over Liangzhou.

Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty has a total of seven counties, namely Jincheng County, Wuwei County, Xiping County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County and Xihai County.

Further west is the Western Regions.

Nowadays, Jiang Wei attaches the most importance to food and steel.

But because he wanted to serve the strategy of raising Cao Zhi, Jiang Wei did not plan to attack Wudu for the time being. As a result, the armor produced by the Panzhihua Iron Mine, which he worked so hard to manage, could not be transported temporarily.

Jiang Wei tried hard to recall the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, as a liberal arts primary school bully, he learned history and geography well, he remembered that there was a big iron mine in Liangzhou, it seemed to be called Jingtieshan Iron Mine, although the output was far less than that of Panzhihua Iron Mine, but the reserves were also as high as more than 100 million tons.

This reserve is more than enough for the Liangzhou army.

Jiang Wei vaguely remembered that this iron mine was located in Jiuquan County, in the Qilian Mountains, and he didn't know where it was. I'm afraid I still have to let Yang Yi hire miners to find it.

If Liangzhou can also produce a big iron mine, wouldn't his Liangzhou Thorn Mansion be even stronger.

So before Jiang Wei was ready to go on patrol, he wanted to find Yang Yi, but he still used the same routine, drawing a circle for Yang Yi in the vast mountains of Jiuquan County on the map, and letting Yang Yi find it by himself.

After receiving Jiang Wei's summons, Yang Yi hurried to the Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion. Now that Yinchuan's field division work has basically come to an end, and Xu Miao has also gone to Yinchuan to take up the post of Taishou, Yang Yi was withdrawn by Jiang Wei to Lanzhou Thorn Mansion.

After seeing Jiang Wei, Yang Yi bowed and saluted, and said excitedly:

"Congratulations to Lord Thorn Shi, the mine that my lord asked me to find before has been found!"

"What? The silver mine has been found! ”

Jiang Wei's heart was filled with bursts of ecstasy. Silver, precious metals, at this time, most of the general money was still made of copper, not silver, because the silver of this era was not high in production and extremely rare.

If you hold a big silver mine in your hands, you will wake up laughing in your dreams.

Seeing Jiang Wei smiling excitedly, Yang Yi couldn't bear to interrupt, and when Jiang Wei's mood calmed down a little, Yang Yi spoke:

"Lord Qiyu, the miners ran all over the circles drawn on the adult's map, but they didn't find the silver mine!"

"What? No silver mine found! Jiang Wei was a little stunned, was he actually happy for nothing? Yang Yi, didn't you say that you found a mine? What about having fun with General Ben?

Jiang Wei suddenly became angry, and asked, "Didn't you just say that you found the silver mine?" ”

Yang Yi was a little helpless: "My lord, I said that I found a mine, but I didn't say that I found a silver mine?" ”

Jiang Wei thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was also Ha, Yang Yi didn't say that he had found a silver mine, but he subconsciously thought that he had found a silver mine.

So Jiang Wei asked: "Then what kind of mine did Yang Changshi find?" ”

Yang Yi spread out the map, and Jiang Wei found that on the map, in the large circle he had drawn, Yang Yi drew two small circles with a cinnabar red pen.

Yang Yi pointed to a small red circle in the north and said: "This place is called Pingchuanji, there is a long mountain range nearby, after exploration, a large coal mine was found, the coal quality is excellent, and the burial is shallow, the matter is mined, according to the estimation of experienced miners, the coal stored in this mountain is not less than 10 million stones." ”

Jiang Wei nodded, and sighed in his heart:

"Okay, I can't find the silver mountain, it's good to find a big coal mountain, it's going to be winter soon, after the autumn, Liangzhou is getting colder and colder day by day, the cool word Liangzhou is not for nothing, it's really cool, with this coal mountain, I'm afraid this winter will be better!"

So he said to Yang Yi: "The discovery of the coal mine is also excellent, so this place will be named Pingchuan Coal Mine!" ”

Yang Yi was very happy, and then pointed to another red circle and said to Jiang Wei: "This place is called Folding Waist Mountain, after exploration, there is a big copper mountain in this mountain, and not only this mountain, there are a large number of copper mines in the nearby mountains, congratulations, congratulations, my Han has a big copper mountain!" ”

"What? Didn't find silver, but found a big copper mountain?! ”

Jiang Wei suddenly felt that his brain was a little confused, the place where he drew a circle was the silver market in the later generations, it was obviously called the silver market, why is there no silver, only brass?

Jiang Wei tried hard to recall, yes, the name of silver is indeed derived from the Ming Dynasty when a smelter was set up here, how could there be no silver?

Wrong? Silver smelter, doesn't it mean that the mine is here? I should have fallen into a misunderstanding, maybe the silver mine is not here, and now I only find the copper mine, which is a pity.

Jiang Wei asked, "I don't know how large the copper reserves are?" ”

Yang Yi couldn't hide the excited look on his face, and said to Jiang Wei: "My lord, the copper ore here is of extremely high quality, the ore has a high copper content, and the burial is very shallow, it can be mined in the open pit, and the reserves are not less than 500,000 stones, because the mining is convenient, as long as the manpower is enough, it can produce thousands of catties of copper per day." ”

"A thousand pounds of copper per day?" Rao is Jiang Wei's two lives, and he was also taken aback by this number.

The role of copper is actually very large, not only can be made into Han Zhi 100 baht coins, used as currency, but also widely used in military and all aspects of life.

For example, it can be used to make weapons, armor, horse harness, agricultural tools, etc., and its application is actually more extensive than that of silver metal.

Moreover, one hundred baht coins of Han Zhi can be worth one hundred five-baht coins of Cao Wei or Dongwu, why? Because the five-baht coin weighs only five grams, while the straight hundred baht of Shu Han weighs five hundred grams, that is, one catty.

If the iron ore discovered by Yang Yi can produce 1,000 catties per day, then it can produce 1,000 baht of income per day, and the reserves of the entire mine are not less than 500,000 stones, even if the copper content is only one-third, it will be more than 150,000 stones.

Then this copper mountain is worth at least about 20 million baht, and this is a super copper mine.

"As long as this copper mountain is mined, won't I be rich enough to rival the country!" Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel one burst of ecstasy after another in his heart, even happier than winning the five million lottery.

He hugged Yang Yi tightly, eager to kiss him, Yang Yi has made a great contribution this time.

He patted Yang Yi's shoulders vigorously and said excitedly:

"Yang Changshi, you have made meritorious service this time, you have made great contributions! This official wants to ask for credit for you, ask His Majesty for your credit, and with the great credit of finding the copper mine, this official feels that it is not too much to be a marquis! ”

"Marquis?" When Yang Yi heard that Jiang Wei was going to ask for the title of Marquis for herself, she was immediately moved to tears.
