Daqin: Reign in the world

As soon as the leader’s brain was hot, he wanted to grab a batch of charcoal back and continue to try.

Yingteng looked at this group of Jin people with amusement.

Can iron be made from charcoal? If it were simple, the charcoal would not be sold everywhere.

However, a message in the words of the leader of the robbers caught Yingteng’s attention.

“You mean, there are iron mines in this mountain?”

The leader of the tartar knew that he had lost his words.

But now, the young and strong of his own clan have been taken prisoner at the hands of others. Even if you want to resist, you don’t have that ability.

You can only tell the truth.

“We found iron ore in the mountains, it’s just the first time we have touched this thing, and we don’t know if it’s good?”

Is what the leader of the tartar said good? Does it mean not knowing how much or less impurities there are in iron ore?

The less impurities the iron ore, the better the quality of the iron.

Unexpectedly, when I came out to clean up a group of robbers, I could accidentally find an iron mine.

Win Teng came interest.

But he didn’t dare to be careless. First escort the prisoners back to Hulun City.

Then, after finding labor in Hulun City, he took dozens of Jingqi prisoners and came to the foot of this mountain again. Let the laborers first transport the whole truck of charcoal back to Hulun City. Turn back and let people send them to Ding Zero City.

This time, Winteng brought in some experienced craftsmen to identify the grade of these iron ores.

The location of the iron mine is near the camp where the gang of Tartars lived.

Seeing the iron ore, Yingteng was excited.

After the identification of those craftsmen, it was found that the iron ore here is not only large, but also of high grade. It’s just that iron contains sulfur, which is not so easy to smelt.

And near this iron mine, there is also a saltpeter mine.

The excitement of Yingteng lies here. It’s a mine that’s completely ready for war!

Sulfur and saltpeter are the most commonly used ignition things, and the amount used in the army is very large.

After checking the nearby terrain, it is very livable even if it is not a city. There are mountains to block the wind, there are trees to burn, it is a good place to spend the winter.

Winteng began planning on the spot.

As long as the road is built to the bottom of the mountain here, and a batch of workshops are built there under the mountain, this place can be mined immediately.

Now that winter is about to begin, the area around Hulun Chi is already very cold. However, this does not hinder mining.

On the contrary, when smelting iron, the blast furnaces are lined and very warm. There will be a lot of people who are willing to go to that workshop to work.

Yingteng told the leader of the Jingqi the plan here. Then, all the old and weak women and children of the Jingtar people here were moved to live in Hulun City.

If the leader of the Jingqi leads the clan to work in this workshop, they can receive wages and have no worries about food and clothing.

The Tartar people were originally not so willing. If you wanted to work, you would have gone to Ashhada a long time ago.

But now, there is no room for them to object.

Moreover, this iron ore was originally discovered by them. If you don’t participate in mining, you always feel taken away.

Thinking about it and thinking about it, all helpless, the leader of the tartar finally agreed.

He had a feeling that this was the way out for the whole clan in the future. It is better not to agree at this time, I am afraid that the life of the whole clan will not be settled in the future.

Yingteng couldn’t wait to return to Hulun City, and began to assign tasks on the spot.

To mine, to smelt iron, you need a lot of labor.

In order to let the laborers come to this place for the winter, at least the conditions for living and the reserves of grain must be prepared.

Win Teng arranged them one by one.

As long as the construction starts here, a lot of things can be built in the winter time.
