After driving for an hour, Luo Zhang finally arrived at a mine fifty miles away from Luoyang. The situation here was the same as in the mines he had seen before. There were many people holding whips and urging the miners. Mining, seeing the faces of this group of people, Luo Zhang was too lazy to speak, he just waved his hand, and the Eighteenth Cavalry rushed out.
The screams continued for a while, but stopped after a while. When Shibaqi returned to Luo Zhang, there were wailing people lying on the ground.
The Eighteen Cavalry did not kill them, but they disabled their martial arts. Even if these people recovered, they could only become ordinary people and could no longer practice martial arts. It was even impossible to carry heavy objects.
This is already considered merciful. Otherwise, if we kill the people in the wilderness, they will be killed. Who can find fault with them?
There was also a manager here. After seeing his people being beaten by a group of inexplicable people, he naturally stood up and scolded: "Who are you? You actually came to the Changsun family's mine to cause trouble. Don't you want to live?" ?"
It was still the same rhetoric. Luo Zhang's ears were calloused when he heard it. Luo Zhang had a new understanding of Changsun Wuji's shamelessness. He actually dared to do this to the mine that was given to him. Isn't this a plunder?
For saving him, he didn't want to repay him with gratitude, but he actually repaid him with kindness. If he had known it, he wouldn't have given his majesty face, and just ignored him. It's really not something a good person can do.
"Those who know the truth should get out of here immediately and tell Changsun Wuji that if he dares to mess up again, the labor and management will not care about His Majesty's face. I will directly lead people to burn down his Changsun's mansion, just like his mansion!" Luo Zhang said domineeringly.
"You...you are...Luo Zhang?" The steward swallowed and stammered.
"If you know better, get out of here. If you say another word, don't leave!" Luo Zhang stared at the steward and said indifferently.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving right away. Thank you, sir, for not killing me. Thank you, sir!" The steward stumbled away. As for those subordinates, he didn't have the energy to care about them. It would be good if he could save his own life.
Seeing that the chief steward was gone, Luo Zhang didn't pay attention, but got off his horse and headed towards the mine.
Along the way, seeing those skinny miners, Luo Zhang shook his head helplessly. No matter where he was, or in all dynasties, there was no lack of oppression. He was also one of the oppressors, but now that he saw it, he would naturally not do it again. , when all the mines are recovered, Luo Zhang plans to take care of them.
The mine cannot be opened like this. If it is opened like this, not only will the output be low, but his grandmother will scold him to death and call him a vampire. He doesn't want to make her angry.
Without thinking about the miners, Luo Zhang entered the mine holding a torch. He wanted to take a closer look at what was different about this mine. He didn't know why the Great Elder said the mine here was.
After going deep into the mine, Luo Zhang carefully looked at the place where the miners were digging. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He took a chisel and cut off a piece and brought it closer for inspection. There was a hint of curvature in the corner of his mouth. It was as he had guessed. Likewise, the ore here is actually one of the ones he thought.
The ore in Luo Zhang's hand is called ferrosilicon, also known as silica. The main purpose of this thing is as an auxiliary material in steelmaking. With it, steel can be made, and steel is better than iron. Things, the weapons made are harder.
Luo Zhang did not expect to find ferrosilicon here.
If this thing is obtained by the Changsun family, they will definitely discover the secret after a period of time, and the Changsun family will make a lot of money by then.
But now this place belongs to him. Even if Changsun Wuji discovers something strange and wants to take the mine away, Luo Zhang will not agree. He will not hand over such a treasure land at any cost.
After walking out of the mine, Luo Zhang looked around. The stewards who were wailing just now had long since disappeared. Only the Eighteen Riders stood at the entrance of the mine, guarding the place. As for the miners, none of them ran away. Crouching on the ground, his eyes were frightened and helpless.
Seeing the looks in these people's eyes, Luo Zhang shook his head slightly and said, "Go and call Wu Shaobin, and then call Zhao Tianhu!"
"Yes, head of the family!" Luo Ba and Luo Jiu, among the eighteen riders, got on their horses and left.
Luo Zhang did not leave, but walked around the entire mine. Since this place is extremely important, it cannot be exposed like this. Luo Zhang thought about enclosing this place and making it a fortress-like place. Even if there are enemies, they will not be exposed. will be blocked out.
Of course, it costs a lot of money to build such a place.
Qian Luozhang had it, but what he lacked was time. He had to ask Zhao Tianhu and others to discuss it, tell them his plan and let them do it.
As a leader, it is impossible to do everything personally. All he has to do is steer the ship and issue orders!
After waiting for an hour, Wu Shaobin rushed over first. The reason why he spent so much time was because he had to deal with matters in other mines, but Luo Zhang called him, and he naturally put aside his matters and rushed over.
Not long after Wu Shaobin arrived, Zhao Tianhu also rushed over on horseback, sweating profusely.
Looking at Zhao Tianhu, who had a fat belly and was sweating profusely, Luo Zhang rolled his eyes. Zhao Tianhu was now carefree, and his weight had soared. The fierce look he had before no longer existed, and he now looked like an outsider. It's a joy, but I'm afraid that many people won't believe it now if they say he was a bad person in the past!
"Brother, I'm late. This horse is really not good! I'll get another one another day!" Zhao Tianhu got off the horse and trotted to Luo Zhang's side.
Luo Zhang brushed off the fat on his body and said: "It's not that the horse can't do it, it's that you are too heavy. No matter how good the horse is, it can't support your weight!"
"Pfft..." Wu Shaobin couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Tianhu touched his big belly. He was not angry, but looked happy and proud.
Luo Zhang was speechless and did not dwell on this issue. Instead, he led the two of them around the mine and said, "Is it possible to build a fortress according to the location I just walked?"
"Luo Zhang, why build a fortress here?" Wu Shaobin asked in confusion.
Luo Zhang picked up a piece of black ore that fell on the ground and said: "Because of it, Changsun Wuji mined this place for a while. I'm afraid it won't be long before he discovers the secret of this mine. I'm afraid that by then There will be a fight, I just prepare in advance!"
"What is this?" Zhao Tianhu also picked up a piece of ore from the ground and asked.
"What is this? This is wealth. With this thing, I can get a material that is harder than iron. The weapons made with it are indestructible, and the iron knife can be broken with one swing in front of him!" Luo Zhang was surprised! Jin Guangdao.
"What? Harder than iron? This..." Wu Shaobin opened his mouth in shock.
Zhao Tianhu's hand trembled and the ore fell to the ground.
Only then did they understand why Luo Zhang came to them in such a hurry. If it is true as Luo Zhang said, it is not just as simple as wealth, it can even change many things!
"Now you understand why I built a fortress here to encircle it!" Luo Zhang looked at the two of them and said.
"I understand. I'll go find the master craftsman and ask him to find craftsmen to build it!" Wu Shaobin said in a solemn tone.
"I will go back now to transfer money for the master craftsman to purchase materials!" Zhao Tianhu followed.
"You guys should keep an eye on this place and send more people here to guard it. If anything happens, report it to me immediately. Anyone who comes near here will be driven away. No one is allowed to approach here at will. Until the fortress is built, this place will be temporarily closed. The mines have been sealed for me. No mining will be carried out, and those miners should stop mining and help the master craftsman move things!" Luo Zhang ordered.
"Yes, little brother!" Zhao Tianhu promised.
Wu Shaobin nodded, indicating that he understood.
After settling the matter here, Luo Zhang had no intention of looking at other mines. Instead, he turned his horse's head and headed towards the royal horse's head.
When we arrived at the Royal Pier, there were much fewer people here than before. After all, after leaving for a few hours, the cargo on the ship had been unloaded, and the people on the ship had returned to the military camp. There was nothing interesting to see and everyone dispersed naturally.
Luo Zhang went directly to the military camp. The place was bustling with people, so lively!
Every soldier's face was filled with a happy smile.
They made a lot of money on this trip, and the harvest was full. According to the rules Luo Zhang had set before, all the soldiers who boarded the ship would receive a lot of money.
