At the foot of a large mountain in the north of Nieying Town,

At the end of the road, there is a gate made of iron frame structure, and above the gate there are also five words "Big Iron Mountain Iron Mine".

The reason why it is called the Great Iron Mountain is only because there is so much iron ore in this mountain.

Just dig through the layers of dirt and you'll find iron ore with a very high iron content!

The soldiers and civilians of Yanmen all said that it was because Lord Ye came, so God opened his eyes and gave Yanmen County such a generous gift.

In fact, it can only be said that Ye Qing is too familiar with this place in Yanmen County.

Not to mention that counting the last life of this tenth reincarnation, he has a four-lifetime fate with Yanmen County, let's just say that his previous life in the city also has some understanding of Yanmen County.

After all, there is known as the 'first pass in China' Yanmen Pass, which is crowned with the eight words of 'nine stops in the world, headed by Yanmen', and is called 'Outer Three Passes' together with Ningwu Pass and Partial Pass.

As a history buff, he naturally took the trouble to get to know the place!

Therefore, he can be said to know the land resources of Yanmen County well!

With a little effort, he can find the resources he needs!

That's how the natural asphalt, which is extremely valuable elsewhere and is called 'black tar' by this era, was found.

Natural asphalt is a kind of asphalt that is gradually formed after oil is squeezed by the earth's crust for a long time and is in full contact with air and water, and exists in a natural form.

According to the formed environment, it can be divided into asphalt rock, asphalt lake, submarine asphalt, etc.!

Yanmen County is destined to have no connection with seabed asphalt, but there is a 'spring' that has been emitting liquid asphalt since a hundred years ago, and an asphalt lake has been formed all year round.

This asphalt lake has never been exploited because it is mistaken for a 'black swamp'.

In addition, because this so-called 'black swamp' has swallowed people and has been endowed with all kinds of strange legends, no one dares to set foot on it.

But as soon as Ye Qing heard such a legend, he had basically decided that it was an asphalt lake.

When I looked at the place, it was an asphalt lake.

And this liquid natural asphalt, in the context of the current era, is not used to pave the road is wasted.

It can be said that there is a certain chance factor in the discovery of the asphalt lake, but the discovery of this 'iron mountain' is definitely not an accident!

First of all, he knows that Yanmen County, a mountainous area that accounts for 70% of the area, is very rich in mineral resources.

In addition to gold, silver and copper, the iron ore resources here rank first in Shanxi!

And the reason why he only opened this iron mine was only because he was fighting one, and he was given the idea of dying after three years as an official, and it was really useless to open so many mines, and there was no need to overexploit it at all.

He only needs to open this iron mine and simply improve the equipment level of the Yanmen army.

Somewhere in the mine,

The No. 88 prisoner was sweating there against the sun in the sky.

At the same time, every time he waved the chisel, a little spark appeared in front of him.

"Eighty-eight, you don't have to mine here."

"You take your accomplices and follow the convoy to transport all this batch of ore to the arsenal."

"Then you don't have to come back, just help out over there!"

The jailer who was in charge of escorting Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, who was able to make two moves with Mao Xiang, and had two beards, suddenly came to inform.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard such news, he suddenly had a feeling of 'bitterness and sweetness'.

Although the work of transporting iron ore is really not easier than mining a mine!

But he can go and collect Ye Qing's incriminating evidence!

Zhu Yuanzhang had never heard of the new word 'arsenal', but he had heard a lot of this new word in Yanmen County.

It even reaches a level where you don't need to ask for advice, you can figure it out with a little association.

The ancient meaning of the word factory is the 'mountain cliff' of habitable people, and in the Ming Dynasty, it specifically refers to a wide shed that can store goods and can be used for concentrated labor.

Coupled with the word ordnance, it naturally means a workshop used to produce weapons.

"Okay!"

"Let's go!"

The jailer, who was pretending to be the leader of the special agent detachment, nodded with satisfaction after seeing such a good attitude of the No. 88 prisoner and left.

Just when he disappeared at the corner of the intersection, the so-called No. 88 labor prisoner revealed Zhu Yuanzhang's true face.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the convoy that was loading the truck after turning the corner.

At the same time, Mao Xiang, who was always mining around him, and more than a dozen 'accomplices' composed of pro-army captains also gathered around.

Zhu Yuanzhang just said seriously and in a low voice: "Sure enough, this guy opened the mine to make armor privately!" ”

"He has lived up to our sister's expectations of him, and even more so our tolerance for him these days!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang once again became what the No. 88 labor prisoner should be, and walked towards the convoy first.

At the same time, Mao Xiang also led his people to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.

But their thoughts at the moment are a little different from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was more disappointed and lost, he thought he was a genius who could be of great use to him, but he didn't expect it to be a ghost with a bad heart!

They have all started to make weapons privately, can they still live?

It must be that after finding the evidence of the crime, he will be killed immediately!

It's a pity that this ability to build a family and a country!

And the idea of these people is too simple, that is, to quickly find the evidence of guilt.

They are all people who can escort His Majesty the Emperor out of the country, that is, the elite of the pro-military Governor's Mansion.

But they never expected that these elites didn't even have a chance to make a move, so they were put in the pig cage by people with sweat medicine to swagger through the market.

If it weren't for the fact that they were all served in one pot, their Emperor His Majesty wouldn't have needed to wear this 'eighty-eight' prison uniform to inspect Yanmen County and Ye Qing, the magistrate of the county!

Now it's okay, this Ye Qing actually dares to open a mine privately and add private armor, it's like digging his own grave!

They only need to make a big effort in the investigation and evidence collection, and they can barely be regarded as guilty!

When settling accounts afterwards, you can also play a few less times on the board!

Thinking of this, before Mao Xiang gave the order, they became extremely positive.

Not to mention, the method of helping them tie up and fix the iron ore is quite professional, after all, they are the masters who have tied people for a long time.

It is precisely because of their professional approach and positive attitude that they have also received an appreciative look from the team leader.

And Zhu Yuanzhang also took this opportunity to chat with the team leader.

has a good relationship with the common people, but Zhu Yuanzhang is the best thing, and he became familiar with it after a few words.

And the reason why he did this was just to learn more about this so-called 'arsenal' on the way!

Just after they were on the road, the figure hidden in the forest came out.

He was the one who came to convey Ye Qing's order, and when he saw that the No. 88 labor prisoner had already hit the road, he quickly turned over and got on his horse and took a shortcut to the arsenal! ......
