"This day is really weird, since a group of weird Guava people came to Dawei, some weird things have happened one after another."

Dugu Ling muttered to himself.

Li Xingchen thought it was funny.

"Isn't it just going to rain in winter? What's weird? Could it be that in addition to this rain, you have encountered strange things? ”

"When I was drying clothes inside, I was bored, so I knocked and found that the rock walls inside were all black."

Li Xingchen's heart tightened.

Is the rock wall black?

In nature, even black stones are not uncommon, and black rock walls are even rarer.

Therefore, Li Xingchen's first reaction was that this is not a coal mine?

Dugu Ling sat on the ground irritably, "That's why I said weird, the Guava people are not a good thing."

After coming, even what we encountered was much weirder.

Not only is the rock wall black, but there are also many large and small black stones around. ”

Li Xingchen's breathing stopped suddenly.

Is this really a coal mine?

He didn't speak, and the torch turned and rushed inside.

Dugu Ling was surprised, got up and followed.

"Is there anything wrong with the black stone?"

Coming to the place where Dugu Ling had changed his clothes before, Li Xingchen carefully looked at the rock wall and the black stones scattered on the ground around him.

"City Lord, what's wrong? You speak. ”

"Do you know why the knives made by the female soldiers are black? And it's far sharper than other cast iron knives, because of it. ”

Tungsten is an extremely rare thing.

In the past, he accidentally got a large piece of tungsten stone, and Li Xingchen blossomed, and immediately created a batch of new weapons for the female soldiers, and added tungsten powder.

I made a whole thousand.

Although there were still more than a hundred female soldiers who had not been assigned tungsten knives, that was the best he could.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the knife with tungsten powder is enough to hang all the knives of Dawei.

The reason why female soldiers are given is also for the sake of women's weakness.

I never thought that today's rain was really good, so I found a tungsten mine.

With this mine, more tungsten knives can be built, and drill bits can be made from tungsten steel, so that you can consider making original water conservancy and wind beds that you have always wanted to do but the conditions did not allow.

If these can be rectified, the efficiency of the plant can be greatly improved, and precision machining can be realized.

That's why he said, this rain is good.

If it rains in winter, it is clear that God has sent good luck.

Li Xingchen took the torch, squatted down, picked up two stones, knocked them a few times, and looked at them carefully.

Get up after a moment.

"Do you know anything about this mountain?" Li Xingchen asked suddenly.

"Go back and send someone to investigate whether there is a master or no owner, if there is a master, find the master and contract it, if there is no owner, then immediately send someone to occupy this mountain."

"Yes, City Lord."

After a few taps and measurements just now, Li Xingchen was sure that the rock walls and stones in the cave had an obvious metallic luster, and after oxidation, they became harder and harder.

Normally, tungsten ore is generally buried deep underground, which is why Li Xingchen did not send people to find tungsten ore veins to solve many technical problems.

Open-pit tungsten ore like this is very rare, and there is quite a lot of ore here, which is more valuable than Jinshan Yinshan.

Suddenly, Li Xingchen wanted to understand something.

Hills like this are generally ownerless.

If you directly occupy the tungsten ore, it will inevitably be seen.

This side of the capital is not his territory, and if he moves, the emperor will be suspicious.

There are many people, and when the emperor Lao'er forcibly took the tungsten ore dug out for various reasons, he took possession of it for himself, and gave it the notoriety of opening the mountain without permission, which was really wronged.

"Forget it, Dugu Ling, the mountain has no owner, and you don't blatantly let the Lingzhou army surround this place.

This is an official road nearby, and there are still some bodyguard teams coming and going.

In this case, you can find some people to disguise themselves as bandits and build a bandit village around here.

As long as the Bodyguards don't stay here, no one will find out that we're mining. ”

Dugu Ling's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"City Lord, other bandits have built the cottage very hidden, but you want to build the cottage near the official road?

Isn't this a blatant opposition to the imperial court? It's called a provocation!

The bodyguard team didn't dare to stay nearby, and the people from the government should come.

The bandit village in the deep mountains and old forests, they can turn a blind eye, but near the official road, do you think they won't send people to suppress the bandits?

This is the capital, and there are not only bodyguard bureaus coming and going on the official road, but also many battle reports sent by 800 miles in an urgent manner, as well as all kinds of messy people, which are too eye-catching. ”

Li Xingchen was stunned.

It seems that this is indeed the case.

"Since the city lord doesn't want people to know that you are mining, then just secretly send someone to mine.

When the time comes, find a few people around to pretend to be bandits and stare at them, and stop as soon as someone comes, and no one continues. ”

Li Xingchen looked at her like an idiot.

"What are you doing as a miner? Do you know how many people need to make a lot of noise? Stealthily mined? Do you feel realistic? You can't hide it by covering it up, this is your bad idea. ”

Dugu Ling suddenly became angry, "That's better than what you said about building a cottage." ”

Li Xingchen frowned.

"Let's talk about this then, it's strange cold inside, go outside, there's a fire."

Two more hours passed.

The heavy rain still hasn't stopped, and I definitely won't be able to walk at night.

Li Xingchen asked the Lingzhou army to take turns to keep vigil, and the rest of the people slept in the cave.

The Lingzhou army was all male soldiers, but fortunately, although the ground was damp and potholes, they quickly fell asleep.

Dugu Ling is not so good.

She was a general in the barracks, and although it was hard to go to the battlefield to fight, she had never slept outside.

She patted the hard ground in frustration.

It's so hard, how can I sleep, and I don't have a pillow.

Dugu Ling has been tossing and turning, not sitting, not lying, repeatedly, upset.

Li Xingchen asked coldly, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

"No, I can't sleep."

Looking at her stubborn expression, she guessed that it was like that, and Li Xingchen pulled her into his arms.

"I'll borrow you tonight, the ground is damp and hard, and there are potholes, and my arms are warm and soft."

His voice was both light and soft, with a unique magnetism and charm of men, which made Dugu Ling blushing unconsciously.

"No, no, I'll just sleep on the ground."

She remembered it and was pressed by Li Xingchen again.

"Don't make trouble, sleep, I'll go to the house tomorrow to investigate."

Dugu Ling was not struggling, in his arms, and fell asleep after a while.

After dawn.

Li Xingchen woke up and looked down to see Dugu Ling, who was still sleeping.

Looking at the long eyelashes, the fair face, and the bright thin lips, his Adam's apple slid up and down.
