From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 60 Magnetite

Qi Zhou just got Zhao Tai's order, asking him to integrate the craftsmen and perform their duties.

But there is no power to appoint appointments, although it is easy to deal with such things.

It is nothing more than a team of blacksmiths and carpenters, and let them choose a person in charge from each team.

When it is time to do something, a piece of transfer order is sent to the person in charge, and there is no need to notify each one of what to do as before.

After Qi Zhou dismissed the craftsmen, he went to meet them.

"Qi Guanshi really lived up to my expectations, some small things are so easy in Qi Guanshi's hands."

Before getting close, Zhao Tai's praise had already reached Qi Zhou's ears.

But when he got closer to see clearly, Zhao Tai couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Guan Qi is sick? Why is his face so haggard?"

It's no wonder that Zhao Tai would say that, because Qi Zhou was in a good state of mind before, although he was thin, his eyes were very bright.

What now?He was thinner, and he had extremely dark circles under his eyes, and he looked sluggish as if he was seriously ill.

But if he was really seriously ill, it was impossible for Gao Ai not to tell him.

"My subordinates pay homage to Duke Ming, Zhou Fei is suffering from an illness, and it is really the result of diligent study."

Qi Zhouguan's appearance was caused by his studies, but it was obviously the result of staying up all night.

Even staying up for several days and nights without sleep, staying up late and not sleeping, Zhao Tai knew it very well.

Gao Ai on the side grinned, and stepped forward to expose Qi Zhou mercilessly.

"Qi reported to Duke Ming that after Guan Shi got the books from Duke Ming, he often did not go to bed until dawn. This happened after several days of repetition. Ai Zeng tried to persuade him with good words, but Guan Shi also said that Ai did not know that knowledge is valuable and not enough to make money. .”

Good guy, people advise you not to stay up late, but you don’t listen and you don’t want to talk to them anymore.

If it were Zhao Tai, he would definitely not want to talk to him. He was so obsessed that he couldn't listen to persuasion, and said anything for nothing.

Seeing Gao Ai jumping out to expose his shortcomings, Qi Zhou gave him a glare, as if blaming him for being talkative.

"Duke Ming didn't know the exquisiteness of the books he gave, so he forgot to sleep and eat while studying. It's not Zhou's fault."

What kind of book is exquisite, the top ten military books, and geology must be considered masterpieces.

It seems that Qi Zhou can't be blamed for making it like this?

"Why does Zhongji need to do this, since the book is in your hands and you can study it when you are free."

"I don't know if Zhongji has learned for a few days, but can he gain something?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but once you ask Qi Zhou's listless state completely disappears, and he looks very energetic.

There is a great sense of sight that if you say this, I will not be sleepy.

"Duke Ming is asking about the number of lands, or the art of war?"

Before Zhao Tai could respond, Qi Zhou started talking incessantly.

At first Zhao Tai could understand a little bit, but later he just listened.

Only Xia Houlan listened with gusto, but she didn't know whether she understood or not.

Zhao Tai turned his head to look at Gao Ai.

"Qi Guan has been like this for a while?"

"That's true. In the past, Ai asked Guanshi Qi for advice on the art of war, but he didn't dare to come after that."

Why don't you dare to come, just look at Zhou's mouth like a river, and you will know.

Tang Seng may not be as strong as him.

While talking, Qi Zhou stopped, because he found that no one was listening, only this newcomer nodded somewhere.

This made Qi Zhou's eyes brighten, and he remembered Xia Houlan in his heart.

"Duke Ming forgives the crime. The subordinate Xingzhi lost his composure. However, the subordinate has indeed gained something geologically, and has found the magnetite."

Seeing that Qi Zhou returned to normal, and said that he had found iron ore, Zhao Tai was shocked.

He didn't want to hear the scriptures, but Zhao Tai couldn't pretend he didn't hear the news about the iron mine or the copper mine.

"Since the iron ore has been found, is it possible to mine it?"

He doesn't ask how he found it, let alone where it is, he just needs to know if he can dig it.

"I'm afraid it's quite difficult. The iron mine is located tens of miles away from Heishan Village, and it's difficult to set foot in because of the high mountains and dense forests."

The Montenegro mountains have not been developed, and there is not even a decent road. It is indeed difficult to dig iron ore.

Moreover, the current Heishan Village is not stable, and it is definitely not possible to continue to expand into the mountains.

But if there are enough people, this is not a problem.

If there is no road, build a road, and cut down a tree if it is in the way. It is considered to be gathering resources to build a road.

When Zhao Tai heard the news about the iron mine, and it was the magnetite he asked to find, his first thought was to dig it out to practice iron and steel.

"Yikang."

He walked a few steps on the flat school field with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped and let out a deep drink.

"Subordinates are here."

"I order you to temporarily cancel the daily training of the army, send people to find out the route of the iron mine, and then cut wood and break rocks along the way to clear a feasible road. It needs to be a foot wide."

Roads must be built, and I don’t know how many roads will be built in the future to develop into the depths of the mountains.

If you find iron mines, build a road to the iron mines first, without any conflict.

"Here."

Gao Ai could tell that Zhao Tai attached great importance to iron ore, so he agreed without thinking.

The army is the lifeblood, and the iron ore is the foundation. To put it simply, no matter how strong the army is, if it has no weapons, its combat effectiveness will be reduced by more than half.

"Zhongji."

"Subordinates are here."

"Order you to send people to build four brick kilns down the mountain, a total of five brick kilns to make bricks, and then transport the fired bricks to the mountain to build kilns, quarry stones to burn lime, and I will send people to send the lime production method."

There is no way to burn bricks at the foot of the mountain and then move them to the mountain.

Because firing bricks requires not only water, but also enough clay, which is everywhere under the mountain, and clay on the mountain is more difficult to find.

Burning cement lacks coal and iron ore, so burn lime first, anyway, lime can also be used as building materials, and it can be sprinkled on reclaimed wasteland to kill insects and weeds.

It is no less useful than cement, but burnt lime is also short of coal and can be replaced by trees, but the sealing is better.

After all, in order to burn stones into lime, the temperature must meet the requirements, which requires the construction of cave dwellings.

"Here."

Qi Zhou knew that such things as lime existed in the Han Dynasty, and it was also recorded in the geology that Zhao Tai gave him.

Because coal is not widely used, the method of burning lime with firewood is relatively mature.

This is his specialty, so he readily agreed.

Two consecutive appointments have added to the burden on Heishan Village, which is still under construction.

But now everyone is supported by Zhao Tai, and Heishan Village, which has no food burden, has enough manpower to complete all this.

Even if there is not enough manpower, Zhao Tai dares to stop them from reclaiming wasteland.

It's just a matter of raising it for a while, but it's not that I can't afford it.

That is to say, Zhao Tai can hold on, otherwise, with this little manpower, he really wouldn't dare to make such a fuss.

Because of him, everyone eats from the big pot, there is no food crisis, and there is no extra wages for craftsmen or recruited farmers.

Unless the next year's spring plowing is over, Zhao Tai will end this big pot of rice.

"Also, is there anyone in Zhongji who can do business? Some experience is enough."

"Never found it."

But Zhao Tai didn't get the answer he wanted, because there was none.

If you think about it, even though businessmen are regarded as lowly, those who can do business will not live too badly.

No matter how bad you are, you can make ends meet.

The people in Zhao Tai's forces are all refugees, and to find Zhou Ping inside, Qi Zhou and others are already lucky.

Since there is no one, we can only pick one person to top it.

To discover iron ore and to exploit it, both the army and the forces are severely underpopulated.
