Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 465
You know, whether it is copper or iron, they are very important materials in Dazhou.

It is important, and it also means scarcity. It is impossible for Dazhou to allow these materials to be traded at will. If you want to buy copper and iron, the only way is to buy them in the designated places in each province.

That's not something you can buy at will. No matter who it is, the iron ingots that can be bought are only twenty catties, and the copper ingots are even less, five catties at most.

This amount is not enough for Qin Feng.

Of course, if he is willing, it is not impossible to get more resources, but in Qin Feng's mind, a whim suddenly popped up.

Wouldn't it be best if he had his own iron mine?
But around Black Creek City, even if there is iron ore, he can’t mine it. Even if Da Zhou is under the jurisdiction of Black Creek City, but if he dares to mine here, if people in the court know about it, then he really committed a crime. mortal sin.

If you want to mine your own iron ore or copper mine, the best way is to find a place to mine silently outside the land belonging to Da Zhou.

This idea sounds like a fever in the brain, but when Qin Feng thought of this, his heart suddenly moved.

Originally planning to go home, he changed direction and walked towards the south of the city.

In today's Heixi City, the entire area around the north gate belongs to the territory of the city's defenders. The barracks originally stood here, and Qin Feng didn't change places for them.

As for the barbarian captives who came to Black Creek City, they usually lived in the south of Black Creek City.

On the one hand, those vacant houses in the city, which originally belonged to the common people, are mostly distributed in the south of Heixi City. On the other hand, Qin Feng's arrangement is not without a little precaution.

The place where Gerhada lives is also here.

Although the little princess was a little confused, she still kept up with Qin Feng.

The two walked through the land where the barbarians lived, and came to the door of Gerhada's residence.

The person guarding here is Gerhada's former adjutant, and another person who is very important in the barbarians and Qin Feng has known for a long time.

That's right, it was Huyantie, the son of the barbarian Khan.

Since Hu Yantie came to Black Creek City, he has been following Gerhada's side. From this, it can be seen that Qin Feng's idea just now was not wrong. No matter which side of Black Creek City it is, until now, he has not let go of his guard. .

But Qin Feng also knew that this was their helpless move.

Hu Yantie looked at Qin Feng nervously, his eyes full of fear.

"What are you here for?"

He still clearly remembers the scene when he confronted Qin Feng for the first time and was knocked to the ground by Qin Feng a few times.

At that time, he only thought that he was a hidden master, never thought that one day he would become Qin Feng's subordinate.

For him, this can only be described as making good fortune and fooling people.

Hu Yantie looked at Qin Feng with complicated eyes. He wanted to say something, but found that with his current status, he didn't even have the status to speak with Qin Feng on an equal footing.

Qin Feng didn't notice Hu Yantie's thoughts, but even if he did, he didn't say much.

"Where's Gerhada?"

He asked straight to the point.

"You mean the general? The general is in the room. I'll go and talk to him right now."

While talking, he was about to turn around and walk back, but suddenly heard a heavy voice behind him: "Hu Yantie, let Master Qin come in directly."

"what?"

Hu Yantie was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that Gerhada had come behind him at some point.

"General..."

He hastened to salute respectfully, but Gerhada just nodded silently and made a gesture of invitation to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was not too polite, and walked into Gerhada's residence with the little princess one after the other.

The two found a place in the house to sit down.

"General, how are you doing these days?"

"What do you say about the general, he is just a prisoner."

Gerhada smiled self-deprecatingly, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his words.

Qin Feng shook his head helplessly: "No, since you are still their great general in the hearts of many barbarians, then I should give you enough respect, shouldn't I?"

Qin Feng's words are indeed his true thoughts, and all the things Gerhada has done are worthy of people's respect for him.

If there was only Gerhada alone, maybe he would let Gerhada die with dignity, but he still needed Gerhada to help him restrain the barbarian captives, so he would give Gerhada enough respect.

The two of them didn't continue to struggle with this trivial matter.

Gerhada quickly changed the subject: "Master Qin's visit, isn't it just to tell me about this?"

"Haha, the general was joking."

Qin Feng waved his hand: "I came here because I want to ask the general about one thing, outside of Black Creek City, is there any place where there are iron mines?"

"iron ore?"

Gerhada was shocked, he didn't expect Qin Feng to mention such a thing.

You must know that iron ore is a very sensitive topic no matter where it is placed. After all, the role of iron in people's daily life is not only the agricultural tools needed for production, but also the weapons needed for war.

He hesitated for a while, and then replied: "Sir, if you want to talk about iron ore, it's not uncommon, but it is also something that has an owner..."

"Oh? If it's not convenient for you to say, that's okay too."

"Not really, I just want to remind my lord that in my knowledge, there are indeed a few iron mines on the grassland, but they are all owned by the owner."

"In fact, even on the grassland, there is not only one barbarian tribe, but several large tribes, each of which is their own master and strives for their own survival."

"The barbarians are considered a relatively large small tribe among these tribes."

"A relatively large small tribe?"

These words made Qin Feng confused, and he was confused for a while.

Only then did Gerhada roughly describe it to Qin Feng.

It turned out that on this grassland, there were hundreds of tribes headed by Khan like the barbarians.

But above Khan, there is another title called Tianzan, which can be understood as the king of heaven.

The meaning of the king of heaven, as the name suggests, is a high-ranking king with a higher status than Khan.

As Gerhada said just now, the barbarians are just a small tribe, and the corresponding small tribe is the big tribe.

In fact, big and small tribes are not necessarily divided by size. Under a Tianzan, there will be at least three khans, and each khan leads a tribe.

The tribe led by Khan is a small tribe, while the tribe led by Tianzan is a big tribe.

There are seven people in Tianzan on the grassland. These days, there are more than a dozen small tribes under Tianzan, and even if there are few, there are at least five small tribes.
