Hearing the news, Jiang Hao fell into deep thought.

Indeed, there were caravans that specialized in hoarding large quantities of food, cloth, and other items in order to make a windfall after the war.

"Regarding this matter, I'll think of a way, and you will implement it according to the plan first."

As for civilian goods, it is as large as house timber and as small as pots and pans.

The main reason is that the demand is large, and Jiang Hao can't take it out for a while.

Buy from Pinxi?

It's not a good deal.

But if you want to export, you have to have raw materials.

It just so happened that at this time, Adrian walked over.

It's just that this expression doesn't seem to be very beautiful.

"Lord Jiang Hao, it's not good, something happened today, about the ...... of iron ore"

After Jiang Hao heard this, he felt uneasy in his heart.

It was already an extraordinary time, and it was at this time that there was another accident at the iron mine.

"What's the situation?"

"Today, I heard news from there that in the process of mining, an unknown soil was suddenly dug up, but there was no trace of iron."

Jiang Hao was very anxious when he heard this.

Nowadays, most of the households used metal products.

The absence of iron ore is critical for Flower Town.

"Take me to see it!"

With that, Jiang Hao took Adrian to the vicinity of the iron mine.

Jiang Hao found that the miners around him were slacking off a lot.

The main reason is that there is no work to do.

After digging for half a day, not a single star of iron ore could be dug up, and people's morale has been greatly damaged.

"Lord Jiang Hao!"

Seeing Jiang Hao coming, many miners hurriedly came over.

"My lord! There's no iron ore here, aren't we ......?"

It's not that they are afraid that Jiang Hao will abuse them, but the main thing is that without the iron mine, they will not have to continue to work as miners.

The anxiety of unemployment is something that exists in every world.

Some of these people are paid to support their families.

Jiang Hao naturally knew these things.

Even Jiang Hao was more worried than them about the imminent loss of employment.

Once they lose their jobs, it means that there is an additional group of unemployed homeless people in Flower Town.

Although the current state of the economy is sufficient.

But in the long run, this kind of development is actually quite disadvantageous for Flower Town.

"I'll go check on the situation."

Jiang Hao did not show any regretful expression, but smiled at the various lords.

Seeing that Jiang Hao was not angry with them, these miners were relieved.

Jiang Hao went deep and found that there was indeed no iron ore between the soil and rock layers.

The entanglement in my heart is even more serious.

It seems that the situation for Flower Town is even more severe.

The loss of iron ore will cause problems not only in the forging of weapons, but also in the forging of daily necessities for residents.

In an era when iron tools were commonly used as daily necessities, towns lacking mineral veins were destined to develop for a long time.

"Natural and man-made disasters...... Did this strange dirt eat the iron ore? ”

Jiang Hao was a little inexplicable when he heard this.

"Strange dirt? What is it? ”

Jiang Hao walked to Adrian's vicinity.

"My lord, it's this kind of dirt, it doesn't look like ordinary dirt, but it certainly can't be used to grow things."

Seeing this, Jiang Hao's eyes suddenly flashed.

"That's right! This one! That's it! ”

Everyone was taken aback when they saw Jiang Hao's overjoyed expression.

Thought his lord had finally gone mad.

However, Jiang Hao shook his head.

He knew very well what these things were.

This is porcelain clay and terracotta, although it is not known why they grow together.

But these things are indeed the raw materials for making ceramics, and there is no doubt about it.

At present, almost all the household utensils used by residents and various industries are metal products.

Jiang Hao took out a little bit of glass products, which was enough to cause a sensation in the entire kingdom.

If this time, take out one or two pieces of ceramic products.

So you're worried that the caravan in Flower Town won't be able to open up the entire kingdom?

"Adrian, organize, the miners here continue to work, just collect this soil!"

Hearing this, Adrian was a little puzzled.

Soil?

What can these soils do?

If it weren't for Jiang Hao's judgment, there was a good chance that it would be correct.

Adrian would never waste time on such stupid things.

It's just that at this moment, he firmly believes that Jiang Hao has a clear purpose.

In this way, Jiang Hao took out some of the samples and came directly to Firodo's workshop.

For the sake of insurance, Jiang Hao not only found Firodo, but also Dave and others.

Also by craftsman, Dave's exposure to civilian utensils should help.

In this way, the people began to study the production process of clay and porcelain clay.

"My lord, may I ask what this thing can make?"

Jiang Hao is actually not good at ceramic craftsmanship.

But craftsmen like Dave and Firodo, who have been craftsmen for many years, can see at a glance that this kind of soil is not ordinary soil.

"These things can be made into civilian utensils that are lighter and easier to carry than iron."

As he spoke, Jiang Hao took out a design drawing, of course, downloaded it from the Internet with his mobile phone.

This sad traffic has finally come into play outside of Pinxi.

"What is this?"

When Firodo saw this design, he was simply stunned.

In this world, Firodo never imagined that there would be an apparatus for firing soil.

It made his eyes light up.

And Dave was also quite shocked when he saw this drawing.

To be honest, in this world, Firodo and Dave have not seen this kind of soil.

But because the craftsmen focus on metalwork, they overlook something very down-to-earth.

"If you have these drawings, how long will it take you to make the finished product?"

"It should be okay today."

It is not difficult to fire ceramics, but if you want to fire beautiful and durable ceramics, you need certain technical support.

Obviously, Firodo and Dave teamed up, although they could quickly get everything in place.

But after a few hours, there was still no really usable ceramic product.

"I didn't expect it...... This thing is quite difficult. ”

Accustomed to making metalwork, Firodo was unfamiliar with the process of firing ceramics.

On the contrary, Dave, who is not as skilled as Firodo, has a little more experience.

Probably this is the difference between a commoner craftsman and a master wrought iron.

Instead, it's just back to basics.

Jiang Hao observed from the sidelines, coupled with the unremitting efforts of Firodo, Dave and others.

Finally, the first usable ceramic bowl was fired.

"So exquisite? And it's also much lighter than iron. ”

Philodo was amazed, he didn't expect that he could make such a delicate thing out of clay.

"Familiarize yourself with the craft as soon as possible, and in the shortest possible time, I will not only put it into use in the flower town, but also hand over a part of it to the caravan."

Jiang Hao smiled slightly, it is conceivable that in the future business war, this thing will have a pivotal position.
