Chapter 90: The Ironworks
Ji Ping'an had already made preparations, and he had already chosen a good place.
A survey of all the surrounding areas of Yicheng had been carried out beforehand.
In the end, he chose a valley.
In that valley, he had already had all the ironworks erected.
The area around the valley had already been guarded by him, and no one would enter within a radius of a few miles.
All the people in that valley were the people he had arranged, and he told the county magistrate about it at the beginning.
Now that the entire valley has been given to him, it is now his private property.
The government can't enter here at will now, this is Ji Ping'an's ability.
Jian Rui didn't understand what Ji Ping'an wanted to do? Which ores are also more cumbersome to transport?
Jian Rui didn't want to waste too much time, she couldn't wait to say, "What exactly are you going to do?" Would you be interested in telling me. ”
Jian Rui's inquiring voice fell in Ji Ping'an's ears.
When Ji Ping'an heard him say this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he said mysteriously.
"This is a very important thing, and these ores will be of great help to us in the future."
"If you want to know, I can tell you, but only if you keep it a secret for me."
Ji Ping'an's voice fell, and Jian Rui's ears fell.
When Jian Rui heard her say this, she couldn't help but be even more curious, those stones had no value to her at all.
It's still a lot of trouble to manage, and she's been trying to deal with that stuff for a long time.
When Ji Ping'an said this, she was a little hard to believe that some useless broken stones, even if they were sold, they couldn't sell them for a few dollars.
"I don't believe some of what you say, broken stones are worth a few dollars."
Jian Rui really can't, he didn't mean to test Ji Ping'an.
"If you don't believe me, then come with me now, and I'll take you there to see the finished product."
After the words fell, Jian Rui immediately took Ji Ping'an to the valley where he had already built the ironworks.
Walking to that valley, Jian Rui felt a scorching breath.
The scorching breath made her feel a little uneasy.
"It's a crisp autumn now, the weather is just right, why is it so hot here, and the further we go deeper into the valley, the hotter it gets."
"Ji Ping'an, what's going on? You're not going to do anything here. ”
Jian Rui's face showed a solemn look, and her words rang in Ji Ping'an's ears.
When Ji Ping'an heard him say this, he pretended to be mysterious.
"You'll soon find out what's going on, but I'm not going to tell you about it now."
"Come with me, and soon you'll know what it means to be valuable."
Ji Ping'an directly said the thoughts, and Jian Rui was even more curious.
Then they came to the valley together, and soon Jian Rui found out about the direction from which the heat wave came.
It turned out that in the deepest part of the valley, there was a large furnace, and the firewood in it was constantly burning.
The firewood was so powerful that a large number of men threw large bundles of firewood into it.
There are also a lot of black black stone blocks in it.
Those black stones looked heavy, and Jian Rui didn't know what they were.
However, after throwing the black stones into the large furnace, the flames became even bigger, and the black stones seemed to be able to burn.
Seeing this situation, Jian Rui's face couldn't help but show a more and more curious look.
"What the hell is going on?"
"How can these black stones make the flames burn even bigger, Ji Ping'an, you shouldn't have used any special means."
Jian Rui explained the idea of this.
Ji Ping'an's face showed a faint smile, he didn't say anything, but continued to move forward with Jian Rui.
In the middle of the valley was a shabby-looking thatched hut.
Ji Ping'an's face could have a faint smile.
Then his thoughtful voice fell in Jian Rui's ears.
"What you see next may be something you can't imagine, but I hope you can hold back."
When Ji Ping'an's words fell, he opened the grass hut.
The moment she opened it, Jian Rui clearly saw everything inside.
There was nothing else in it, it was all weapons.
Seeing this situation, Jian Rui couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't understand why Ji Ping'an had prepared so many weapons?
Jian Rui was a little nervous.
"You have prepared so many weapons here, don't the people from the government come forward? Doesn't the county magistrate care? ”
It is not for nothing that Jian Rui said such a thing.
You must know that in the laws of their cloud country, individuals are not allowed to possess weapons without permission.
Even if those rich people have families, all their weapons are reported to the government.
The weapons that Ji Ping'an is forging now are in good condition, and at a glance, they are better than the weapons equipped in the Yun Kingdom's army.
If the county magistrate knew about a weapon of this quality, he would definitely be questioned.
Jian Rui didn't understand, why could this continue to produce unharmed?
As she spoke, she tried it with a weapon in her hand.
After trying those weapons, she felt that they were light, and harder than all the weapons she had now.
"You haven't told me why the county magistrate would let you forge weapons here."
Jian Rui wanted to know this matter the most.
Ji Ping'an's face showed a hint of indifference, and he explained slowly.
"This matter is very simple, because the county magistrate only cares about whether he can get political achievements."
"As long as he can get political achievements and I can help him, all this is enough for him, and besides, I have no other meaning in forging these weapons, just to protect myself."
When Ji Ping'an said such an idea, Jian Rui had to admit that this was indeed a bit surprising to him.
But after he tried the weapons in his hand, these weapons were far more terrifying than he imagined.
"How did you forge these weapons that are dozens of times better than the weapons that the Yun Kingdom army is equipped with now?"
"If you hand over these things to the Yunguo Imperial Court, I'm afraid you will definitely be able to increase your official ranks, don't you want to?"
Jian Rui directly said her thoughts.
Ji Ping'an's face couldn't help it, he didn't say much, just smiled slightly.
Because he knows what it really means to him.
If he really cares about anything, the official position of the court, with those ideas in his head, I am afraid that he can sit in the position of emperor now.
But he doesn't care about that, he only cares about the people around him.
Jian Rui saw that Ji Ping'an didn't speak, so she didn't continue to ask more.
She knew that Ji Ping'an could tell her this, and she already trusted him absolutely.
