The escort of the army, the sense of security leverage.

However, the speed of a large convoy was naturally not as fast as the speed of five people when they came before.

Fortunately, before nightfall, everyone returned to Qingyuan Town in time.

And the escorted cavalry team, when it was still a short distance away from Qingyuan Town, broke away from the team and camped directly in the field.

Goodern had wanted to invite the group to spend the night in town, but Feroz refused on the grounds that he was keeping his track secret.

This made him a little regretful, after all, with his 'self-familiar' means, it was easy to get acquainted with the other party.

The appearance of a large convoy naturally aroused the curiosity of the residents of the town.

Seeing dozens of carriages that were fully loaded, everyone couldn't help but guess with some curiosity what the lord was doing.

As the carriages stopped in the castle courtyard, the originally empty field suddenly became a little crowded.

And the temporary captain in charge of the housekeeping, Els learned that the young master was back, and hurriedly brought someone to greet him.

"Young Master!"

"Well, how have things been going in the two days I've been away?"

Goodern nodded slightly, then motioned for the chest containing the gold coins to be carried into the castle's vault.

Els's first report was on brick kiln factories.

"Everything went well, the test kiln results of the brick kiln factory came out, the second and third furnaces failed, and only the first one succeeded."

"The workers have prepared the complete version of the kiln materials according to your plan, and are ready to be built."

Only the No. 1 furnace was successfully fired.

Goodern thought silently in his heart, and at the same time did not forget to listen to Els's follow-up work report.

"The clay excavation plant has officially completed the foundation construction today, and has begun to excavate, and the output is about six piles a day."

Since there was no suitable unit of measurement among the townspeople, Goodern could only assign a general concept.

The amount of a pile is about ten cubic meters, so it seems that the excavation yield rate of clay is quite good.

After all, this is pure manual excavation, and there is no machine assistance.

"Yes, any other news?" Goodern said with satisfaction.

"By the way, young master, the reward order you issued before, many people came with samples and wanted to verify the exchange."

"Some of the residents got what you said was an important target, and according to the records, it seems to be called a stone ...... What's coming, yes, lime mines! ”

Hearing this, Goodern immediately came to his senses, and he wanted to doze off and send the pillow himself.

The experimental phase of the brick kiln plant has been completed, and the next full-scale construction will not take too long.

He was still thinking about where to get lime to use as a binder, but now he just sent it to his door.

"Where are the samples from the limestone mine, take me to see them."

"In the castle's storeroom, according to your orders, a cool and ventilated place has been specially cleaned, and I will take you there."

Goodern then handed over the task of overseer to Joseph Sr., and he himself returned to the castle early to check.

There are a number of shelves in the storage room, on which suspected 'bounty' items received from the residents are placed.

At the same time, there is a note underneath each item, which records the information about the suspected item, the location of the source, and the person who found it.

Ells entered the door and went straight to the right shelf, he didn't know much, but he still remembered the location of the limestone mine.

Take out the gray-white limestone mine and hand it to Young Master Gooden.

【Limestone Mine】

[Introduction: A natural elemental mineral, containing a large amount of calcium carbonate]

The entry 'Ore Identification Expert' came into effect, and the specific mineral information appeared in front of your eyes.

After determining the type of mineral, Goodern showed joy on his face and hurriedly asked.

"Have you seen the location of this mine?"

"I've seen it, it's about three kilometers southwest of the town, under a small hill, and the whole mountain rock is almost like this."

Elsby replied respectfully.

"Very well, tomorrow go inform the inhabitants who found it, and let him come to the castle...... No, go to the town square, I'm going to reward him publicly! ”

"Okay."

In order to galvanize the enthusiasm of the other residents, Goodern changed his mind and decided to make the first reward public.

Let the townspeople see the authenticity of this bounty order, thus promoting the passion they are seeking.

"Okay, you go down first, I'll check it myself, and I'll call you if there's a problem."

"Yes, young master!"

Goodern played with the limestone mine in his hand, his mind quickly thinking about how to refine it.

The way this thing is refined is averaged

After a few moments, Goodern put down the limestone mine and looked at the other items on the shelf.

He had only been away for two days, and there were so many suspected targets, which made Goodern feel the power of the people again.

Sure enough, you can't leave the power of the masses anywhere!

With the joy in his heart, Goodern began to inspect the various items on the shelves in turn.

"Damn, why are there so many stones, what is this thing?"

"Animal bones? Who took it in? ”

"Huh...... This is?! ”

Goodern looked at the special hedron with a slight red and white color, and was a little puzzled, and the specific information was displayed in the next second.

【Rock Salt Stone】

[Introduction: A natural elemental mineral, containing a large amount of sodium chloride]

"I'm Giao!"

What is sodium chloride, it is an indispensable thing for human development!

Ever since he learned about the general situation of Qingyuan Town, Gooden has been here with pessimism in his heart.

How to develop such a barren place, but now he realized that he had made a mistake, this is a treasure land!

In this era, people's perception of mines is still only limited to metallic ores such as gold, silver, copper, iron, and gemstones.

No one will care or discover the value of the manganese ore and limestone ore that he has 'picked up' and the rock salt stone in his hands now.

Of course, the magic associated ore is not within the scope of natural science, so it is not considered.

Looking at the note pressed under the rock salt stone, there was no suspected information recorded on it, only a copy of the address and person who found it.

Goodern guessed that it was the appearance of the rock salt stone that attracted the discoverer, so he brought it back and handed it over.

Putting down the rock salt stone, Goodern continued to inspect the remaining items one by one.

As expected, the rest of the stuff was rubbish.

However, the appearance of limestone mines and rock salt stones has surprised him, even beyond expectations.

Armed with a sample of the rock salt stone and a note, Goodern left the storage room and found Els.

"Els, there is an important task for you to deal with now, take the sample, go to this discoverer, and go to the discovery point overnight to verify."

"Go down to old Joseph and ask for a gold coin, and if you find the same ore at the discovery site, give him direct payment."

"Okay young master, I must have found the target!"

Seeing Els' serious look, Gooden patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"There's no need to be so serious and nervous, it's just a check, and if you can't find it, it's okay."

With the young master's words, Els also relaxed a little, and then saluted and retired to go to some people to carry out the task.
