"Lord, why are you here?"

"Didn't you react to the hoe during the day, and you couldn't dig hard ground, let's try this."

Guan Hai took the pickaxe and found that the design of this hoe was still very different, with sharp ends and the middle was the place where the handle was installed.

Guan Hai picked up and dug the ground a few times, and the hard hemp bone stone was dug up like tofu: "It's so easy to use, it's too easy to use." ”

"This is a good steel, each one is numbered, and it is kept like an ordnance, and it is strictly forbidden to lose it."

"Don't worry, my lord, if I lose such a good thing, I won't lose this pickaxe, a pickaxe can make a big knife."

Lu Bu thought about it, the shovel can be made of armor, the hoe can be changed into a spear or spear, and the pickaxe can be made into a broadsword, this is good, all weapons are available.

Guan Hai suddenly thought of something: "Lord, there is one thing that has not been reported to you yet." Yesterday morning, the military doctor in the team saved a man, and he was beaten all over the wounds, so I asked him what was going on, and he said that he had run down from a quarry in a nearby mountain, and that the steward of the quarry had controlled the 200 workers, and that he would work for him for free, and that he would be beaten to death if he dared to ask for money. ”

"Oh, when Ben Jiang entered Qingzhou, he issued a strict order, it is strictly forbidden to beat and imprison craftsmen, this quarry is so bold."

Guan Hai didn't say much, and asked people to help the man who was being treated.

"Don't be afraid, this is the history of the Qingzhou Thorn, if you have anything, just tell Lord Thorn Shi."

The man cried as soon as he wowed.

"The villain Taishan County is surnamed Yang, a single name is a gray character, the family has a hard time, so he comes out to beg for a living, the villain is good at burning a kind of ash, which is used to build a strong house. Last year, the local steward surnamed Wang was recruited by high-tech and deceived the villain into the mine, I waited for more than 200 workers, worked for more than half a year, and asked him for money a few days ago, and was knocked out by him with a stick, this person found more than 100 thugs, who dared to ask for money to kill whom, and asked Lord Shi to call the shots. ”

Lu Bu was not filled with righteous indignation, this kind of thing should not be too much in this era, after all, this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the people are not living well.

"You just said that you will burn a kind of ash, but bluestone and ironstone powder are mixed together less, and then mixed with mortar, and after solidification, it is harder than stone?"

"Lord Thorn Shi still understands this, that's it."

Lu Bu was even more surprised, it turned out that there were already people who fired cement in this era. I just don't know why this yang ash is drowned in the tide of the times.

"Where is the mine and how many thugs are there?"

"Fifteen miles to the southwest, there are more than 200 miners and more than 100 thugs."

Guan Hai hated that iron could not become steel: "Two hundred miners, stunned to let a hundred thugs bully." ”

"The thugs are all together, one heart. There are 200 miners everywhere, and everyone is not united. ”

Lu Bu thought thoughtfully: "Guan Hai, transfer a thousand infantry, temporarily work overtime, and take this black mine, these earth overlords don't take the general's words seriously." ”

"Yes."

Guan Hai quietly transferred a thousand sword shield soldiers, each with a small shield and a ring-headed knife.

Yang Ash led the way, and Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Guan Hai led more than 1,000 infantry to set off in the starry night, all the way at a fast pace.

When I came to the mine, it was already about ten o'clock in the evening, and the mine was silent.

This is a mine for mining bluestone, mainly for building houses and laying foundations.

This time, Lu Bu repaired the bridge and purchased a large amount of stones, but he didn't expect to buy them from such a mine.

As soon as Lu Bu beckoned, Guan Hai led his troops to surround him.

"Arresting people is different from fighting, try to catch people alive, and you can only kill and injure them as a last resort, understand?"

"Understood."

Lu Bu and Dian Wei watched the excitement on the side.

At this time, the thugs of the mine had already assembled, more than a hundred, and they were holding all kinds of weapons.

Guan Hai shouted: "On the order of Lord Assassin Shi, come to seal the mine and lay down your weapons.

The owner of the mine, the steward Wang, shouted: "What is the history of thorns or not, I am the boss here, and whoever dares to step forward will be killed." ”

"Lay down your arms, you're surrounded." Guan Hai waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to light torches.

In an instant, there were torches all around, and the king was frightened enough.

"Whoever dares to touch our family's property, I will fight with him."

Guan Hai pouted: "No one touches your family's property, but you, a black mine, imprison the miners, kill the miners at will, the evil thing is over." ”

"What, you're standing out for those poor sticks?"

"One last time, lay down your weapons, or shoot or kill."

The old king's head was hard enough, and his head was so ruthless that he yelled: "Don't be afraid, everyone, resist it." ”

Guan Hai saw that this could drop the chain, and rushed up with a big iron gun, and when he went up, he flicked it, and the two thugs fell. Hundreds of soldiers rushed forward.

These thugs are very powerful, but unfortunately they encountered elite infantry in formation, and they were quickly suppressed to death, and they were pressed to the ground and tied up one by one.

Lu Bu asked Yang Shen to go and tell the miners, and the miners cheered.

Lu Bu saw that these miners were too miserable, all of them were skinny.

The king's steward gave them wild herbs, but they ate less grain.

"It's getting late today, so stay here for the night. I will go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to register, and you will make arrangements. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Guan Hai settled the miners, these people are really hungry, and they have to cook and eat so late.

"Master Jun, you don't know, how ruthless these people are, half wild vegetables and half grain, they don't dare to feed pigs like this."

Yang Ash took Lu Bu to the material warehouse next to him, where the burnt ash powder was piled up.

"This ash is made by firing bluestone powder and ironstone powder at high temperatures. It is mainly sold to large families to build. ”

Lu Bu looked at it, this is the prototype of the ash.

"Come, use this ash mixed mortar wall you made, I'll see the effect tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Yang Ash got started and made a low wall.

Early the next morning, it was basically solidified, Lu Bu kicked it with his foot, it was almost there, and it was still good overall.

"Ben will appoint you as the master of the workshop, how about the production of this ash powder, there are still fifty or sixty years old, how about it?"

Yang Shen was overjoyed, and bowed: "I am willing to serve Lord Thorn Shi." ”

This kind of ash is named after the ash, but there is no machinery in this year, all the labor, and the output is estimated to be very low.

Lu Bu didn't plan to popularize it, so he used this thing to build military facilities.

200 miners were resettled on the spot, and according to the original promise, 200 yuan a month, continued to work. The government pays them monthly salaries, and they are no longer afraid of being beaten if they don't pay them.

The matter of the black mine is quite big, and the owner of this mine has more than a dozen lives in his hands, so that Chen Gong will be cut down after the trial.

As for the more than 100 thugs, they are not the main culprits, and they have been transferred to the Gao Shun camp as small soldiers.
