The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 94 Zhang Jingming

Discover iron ore! ?
As soon as this word came out, even Song Wei couldn't sit still.

You know, what Song Wei lacks most now is iron.

Other Song Wei can be made, but Song Wei bought iron from other places.

And it's in great demand.

This also caused Song Wei's expenditure on iron to rise linearly.

But now, as if God took care of Song Wei, someone actually said that iron ore was discovered!

Song Wei looked at the visitor: "There are very few iron mines. Li Yang, do you just believe in other people's words?"

That's right, it was Li Yang who came.

After Li Yang was sent to Red Fox Mountain by Song Wei, he has been digging coal in Red Fox Mountain.

And not knowing what happened a while ago, Song Wei began to mobilize a large amount of coal, so that in just a few days, most of the coal they had dug before had been emptied.

It was only later that Li Yang heard about Song Wei paving roads and building houses in Zhen'an County.

Moreover, the demand for coal became very large, so Li Yang asked everyone to start digging coal harder.

Li Yang said with a sly smile: "My lord, I also know what to say about this matter, let him explain the ins and outs to my lord."

Li Yang pointed to the person he brought behind him.

"Oh?"

Song Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked behind Li Yang.

Behind Li Yang is a middle-aged man. Although he is dressed a little plainly, he can still see that his figure is quite strong.

At first glance, it is a common people.

Song Wei asked, "Since Li Yang said so, then tell me about your discovery of the iron ore."

In fact, when Song Wei first heard about iron ore, he was also very excited.

But after calming down, he felt that things might not be simple.

How is it possible that coal mines and iron mines were discovered at the same time on another mountain?
I am not possessed by the Emperor of Europe, how can I be so lucky?
The person behind Li Yang took a slight step forward: "My lord, Zhang Jingming, a grassroots man, is a blacksmith outside Zhen'an County."

"A few days ago, I was recruited by the adults to dig coal in the Red Fox Mountain. In my spare time, the grass people went to the Red Fox Mountain. It happened that the grass people also had the ability to observe the terrain besides forging iron. It was also by chance that the grass people discovered the Red Fox Mountain. The situation is a bit strange, so the grass people went to observe around the Red Fox Mountain in their spare time."

"Sure enough, the grassroots found that the mountain-shaped terrain of Red Fox Mountain is indeed not right."

"After a long period of observation, the grassroots people felt that there must be something under the Red Fox Mountain that caused such a mountain shape."

"Then Caomin came to that place with tools, and the iron ore was dug out by Caomin. Caomin is a blacksmith and is very sensitive to iron. If Caomin dares to risk his life, it must be iron ore!"

"Then Cao Min told Catcher Li about this, and begged him to let him bring Cao Min to meet the adults."

Zhang Jingming is very calm, or it can be said that his thoughts are very clear.

Even if he was facing Song Wei, he couldn't see how nervous he was.

Song Wei had been observing Zhang Jingming, but he found that Zhang Jingming did not seem to be lying.

All behaviors are normal.

Song Wei pondered for a while: "Since you said you dug iron ore, can you show what you dug?"

"can."

Zhang Jingming nodded, then took out a bag wrapped in linen from his arms.

"Sir, this is the iron ore dug by ordinary people. This is a piece of iron ore that was dug out by ordinary people after a lot of effort."

Li Yang handed the linen package to Song Wei.

Song Wei stared closely at the package, which was not big, just the size of a fist.

Open the package, and a piece of ore is lying in it.

Song Wei picked up the ore and found that it was iron ore.

Moreover, it is also an iron ore with a very high iron content.

It seems that it can be refined into iron with a little processing.

Is there really iron ore in Red Fox Mountain?

And it's iron ore with such a high iron content!
Song Wei began to feel a little excited, but on the surface he did not reveal any thoughts.

"This is indeed a piece of iron ore. Well, I believe you. I will send someone to dig the iron ore with you immediately. If it is really iron ore, I will reward you for reporting your meritorious service. for you."

Song Wei finally believed it for the time being.

And I plan to give it a try. If it is true as Zhang Jingming said, then I won’t have to worry about the steel bars used to build the house this time, and I will save a lot of money.

Then I will definitely give him a reward, and Song Wei has already thought about it.

It's just that he wants to confirm now whether what Zhang Jingming said is true.

"Thank you sir!"

Zhang Jingming said quickly.

Song Wei nodded, and then left the room with the two of them.

What Song Wei wanted was to go and see with them.

After just calling a few government officials, Song Wei and Li Yang rushed to Honghu Mountain.

Since the Red Fox Mountain was blocked by Song Wei, it has completely calmed down here.

It was recently that Song Wei allowed him to transport coal to various places, which made it lively.

After Song Wei and the others arrived at Red Fox Mountain, there were patrolling people on the outskirts of Red Fox Mountain.

Seeing someone approaching Red Fox Mountain, he hurried up.

When he saw that it was Song Wei, he quickly stopped.

"grown ups!"

Song Wei looked at him and nodded.

He also knew this man, one of the catchers.

"There's nothing unusual recently, right? This is an extraordinary time, so we must guard the Red Fox Mountain."

Song Wei looked at the person in front of him and said.

"Don't worry, my lord, there are our brethren around here, and anything will develop as soon as possible."

The patrolling man stood up straight and said solemnly.

Song Wei didn't speak any more, nodded and entered the Red Fox Mountain.

This was Song Wei's second visit to Red Fox Mountain. Compared with the first time, this time it was much easier.

Song Wei and the others kept on their way and soon arrived at the cottage.

When all the catchers saw Song Wei coming, they quickly gathered together to wait for Song Wei.

When Song Wei came to them, they said in unison: "My lord."

Song Wei nodded silently.

He didn't ask about other things, because when he came, he saw trucks of coal being transported back to the cottage.

"All of you get ready, let the coal digging workers temporarily stop and gather together, and then we will dig something more useful together."

Song Wei looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

There are only these people here, so we have to ask them not to dig coal first, but to dig iron ore first.

If iron ore is really dug out as Zhang Jingming said, then the manpower here will become insufficient, and a large number of migrant workers will continue to be recruited.

"Yes!"

The catchers said in unison.

Then they dispersed and brought back all the migrant workers.

The catchers were very fast, and all the migrant workers arrived in a short while.

Seeing that it was really Song Wei, the migrant workers finally let go of the stone in their hearts about the matter of coal digging.

And get more excited.

Glancing at the crowd, Song Wei nodded silently.

"I asked you to stop your work because it seems that iron ore has been discovered. This time we are going to dig iron ore. It is time to bring your tools. We will start now."

Song Wei didn't say anything to them. Coal now has effects on Song Wei everywhere.

A little time wasted is a huge loss.

"Yes, my lord!"

After everyone responded, Song Wei looked at Zhang Jingming.

"lets go."
