Overwatch Valley is surrounded on all sides by tall mountains, with only a canyon leading to the north side.

There are many caves at the foot of the mountain range, which were originally mined for spirit stones. However, the normal connection between Baiju Cave and the Heavenly Dao Alliance has been severed for more than a hundred years, and the mined spirit stones cannot be used at all, nor can they be transported. Gradually, no one went to mine anymore, and the mines were abandoned.

And the spirit stone mine in the eastern suburbs that Zhang Da said was the closest one to Shouwang City among the abandoned mines around.

"Yes! I didn't expect there to be a road, so it can be used with a little repair. Chen Hao was very satisfied.

He didn't expect this, but today he and the Zhang brothers came to the site to investigate, and unexpectedly found that there was a road connecting the mine to Watch City. I remembered that if I started the construction site, the entry and exit of materials and personnel really need a road.

The road was about a foot wide, large enough for two carriages to travel side by side.

It's just that it's in disrepair, many places are potholes, and the road is overgrown with weeds, but you can still see the prototype of the road. In this case, it only needs to be leveled and the weeds can be removed, which saves a lot of work compared to opening a new road.

Seeing that Chen Hao was satisfied, Zhang Da smiled happily, and squinted at Zhang Wu with disdain from time to time: Look, it is still the intention of the boss in the place I chose.

Chen Hao looked at the mine again.

Outside the mine, there is a large piece of flat (1) (book) [read] novel ybdu land, judging from the situation on the ground, it is full of stones, no wonder no one comes here to farm.

The mine itself is wide and tall, about seven or eight zhang wide and five or six zhang high.

With such a size, the planes of the previous life can be directly put into it!

"Very good!" Chen Hao nodded again.

The inside of the mine, at least the entrance, could be used as a storehouse for firewood and untreated salt.

At the mouth of the cave there were twenty cauldrons for boiling salt.

Then build a few houses on the stone floor outside to use them as accommodation for personnel and to store the refined salt.

In this way, it does not take much effort and time at all, and a simple salt refining plant can be started!

"Zhang Wu, your brother will come to do this in the next few days. Chen Hao briefly planned and gave Zhang Wu instructions on where to erect pots and stoves and where to build houses.

"Yes, boss, we'll make sure you get it done. Zhang Wu patted his chest and said.

"Also, go buy a hundred vats, level the mines, and place them near the entrance, and assign one or two men to make the road clear, and at least let the carriages and horses pass. Otherwise, I bought a vat and bricks and tiles to repair the house, and I couldn't transport it. Chen Hao added.

"Yes. ”

The matter of the salt smelting factory was carried out, and everyone returned to the city together. Chen Hao gave Zhang Wu a fifty catties of salt tickets as funds for the preparatory work, and let him do it.

"Boss, you still have to think about the safety protection of this workshop. Although there are no more demon beasts on the mountain on this side of the Watch Valley, it is still necessary to guard against someone with bad intentions, after all, what is produced here is the salt of white flowers!" Zhang Wu reminded before leaving.

"Well, I remember. ”

The salt refining workshop in the Watchman Valley is equivalent to the banknote printing factory in Chen Hao's previous life, and in such a place, the protective measures must always be tighter to make people feel at ease.

Chen Hao decided to buy a set of protective formations and put them in the salt smelting factory he was about to build, but then he thought that there were no shops in Overwatch City that sold these things.

"Wang Meng is the formation master, I'll go to him to see if he has any ideas, and by the way, I also inform him to transport the salt vegetables directly to the mine. ”

Chen Hao didn't stop and went to find Wang Meng again.

As soon as Wang Meng heard about the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs, he nodded and said that he knew that he knew that there would be salt and vegetables directly when the time came, and promised to help Chen Hao install a set of protective formations, and the price was seventy catties of salt.

These seventy catties of salt have exceeded twice the auction price of Chen Hao's iron wall bricks, Chen Hao believes that such a cost, the protective array arranged should be enough to isolate the harassment of the vast majority of demon beasts, and as for the effect on people, at least it can also play an alarm role.

After all, people are much smarter than demon beasts, and even if your protective array seems to be able to withstand the attacks of the qi practitioner, he will always think of various ways to break through.

Therefore, for people, unless the protective array is particularly advanced, it mainly plays the role of early warning. If you want to be safe, you have to rely on yourself.

After talking about the salt vegetables and the protective array, Chen Hao returned to the Watch City, and it was already evening.

"Teacher Chen, someone left you this invitation. Shi San didn't accompany Chen Hao around today, but stayed at home.

It's an invitation again...... After Chen Hao came to Watchman City, the short period of time has exceeded several years in the Heavenly Dao Alliance!

He couldn't help but miss the Heavenly Dao Alliance's idle and busy cultivation life. I opened the invitation card and saw that it was Wan Yihou who invited him to have a dinner party, and the place of the invitation was the "Ding Building" on Fengyue Street.

In the evening, Chen Hao went to the banquet alone.

Wan Yihou didn't invite many guests, except for Chen Hao, there was only Ding Dagong.

The three of them sat in the private room on the second floor of the Ding Building, and several of his subordinates led by Wan Yihou and Ding Dagong were waiting outside the door, and there were only three people in the room, Chen Hao and Wan Yihou Ding Dagong.

The three of them greeted each other politely, and when the wine and food were served, Wan Yihou said: "I didn't expect that Brother Chen has only been here for such a short time, and he has stirred up the entire Watch City." Now people with a little insight are talking about Brother Chen's new method of refining salt, and the prices in the market have also fluctuated a lot. ”

"Teacher Chen is from the Heavenly Dao League, and he is indeed a young hero, well-informed, not comparable to the frogs at the bottom of the well. Ding Dagong said: "Come, Lao Wan and I will toast you first!"

I don't know what's going on with what Ding Dagong said, which always makes Chen Hao feel a little weird. It is also possible that he had no intention, but just gave birth to such a virtuous character.

The three of them raised their glasses and drank them all, Chen Hao said: "Thanks to the love of the two bosses, I praised it." ”

"Hehe, my Lao Ding is also a straight-hearted person, and he doesn't tell lies in front of real people. I invited Mr. Chen to come today, just because I fancy your future and want to pull you to work with us. "Ding Dagong got straight to the point.

Chen Hao couldn't help but ponder for a moment, Ding Dagong was so direct, was it a matter of habit, or did he not take himself seriously at all?

He looked at Ding Dagong, but saw that although he was smiling, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"Brother Chen, don't blame, Lao Ding is this kind of character, he can say whatever he wants, and he is not hypocritical at all. Wan Yihou smiled, easing the atmosphere.

Ding Dagong said again: "Lao Wan is right, I just have a straight temper and don't like to play false." Teacher Chen, if you don't want to do it with us, give me a word. ”
