I learned skills in a different world

Alugu trembled, his voice hoarse, "I, I can tell you the location of the iron mine...but I have a condition."

Chu Kui nodded noncommittally, "Tell me about it."

"I want to meet the person who made the crossbow."

"impossible."

"Why? I told you about such an important thing about the iron mine, just because I wanted to meet someone."

They grassland men are brave and good at fighting, but they can only stick to this barren land. However, the people of the Central Plains are sitting on the warm and fertile land, but they are a group of weak and incompetent lambs. How can they not be jealous of this.

It's just that they don't want to admit that at some point, the people of the Central Plains have changed. In their eyes, the weak lambs will also show their sharp claws and can give them a fatal blow at any time.

Just as Chu Kui came out of the sky five years ago and firmly blocked them from the pass, now they suddenly have magical weapons like bows and crossbows, which easily eliminates their advantage in riding and archery.

He originally planned to meet the person who made this magical weapon. If possible, when he returns to the tribe and has the ability, and recruits him, he can make up for the battlefield mistakes and the loss of iron ore to a large extent. Even if it cannot be used by him, it must be destroyed and Wei will not be able to continue to be strong.

Chu Kui knew all about his little thoughts. Not only to the court, but even in the military camp, he would not let Shen Fangshi appear in front of others easily, let alone let the Humang people know about Shen Fangshi's existence.

Chu Kui didn't answer, just looked at Alugu silently.

Alugu was shocked by his eyes, and then he felt guilty and did not dare to have those little thoughts again.

Chu Kui then said: "Alugu, you have to know that this is not a business discussion, you have no choice."

Alugu closed his eyes and said with difficulty: "Okay, let me tell you..."

The location of the iron mine is actually to the north of the Yanyan Mountains. The Yanyan Mountains stretch continuously and span most of the border. To the north of the mountains is an uninhabited land with no grass growing for hundreds of miles. Further north is the large Humangwei tribe.

The Humang tribe is not monolithic. Conflicts are common. As long as there is an opportunity, mutual expropriation is commonplace. The iron ore was accidentally discovered by Alugu when he planned to take a detour from Yanyan Mountain to the Weixi tribe to inquire for information.

After interrogating the location of the iron mine, Chu Kui prepared everything that day. The next day, Chu Kui took 500 people to Yanyan Mountain, intending to find out whether the location was true or false.

It was not easy to go through Yanyan Mountain to the north of the mountain range. There were ferocious beasts everywhere in the deep mountains, and it was extremely easy to get lost. It took Chu Kui and five hundred people three days to finally find the place A Lugu mentioned.

When we arrived, there were still people mining at the iron mine, and dozens of Hu Mang soldiers were guarding the mine. A Lugu had already told Chu Kui and the others about this situation.

Chu Kui and five hundred people squatted down in ambush in the distance.

Qi Diaosi followed Chu Kui, cursing in his mind: "Fuck! How did that Alugu find the iron mine? It's so remote and hidden, how lucky is he?"

God knows how they got here in the past three days. They were either jackals or tigers, and occasionally fell into snow pits in the mountains and forests. If the general had not led them well, they would have lost a few brothers.

Looking at the iron ore piled into a hill, Qi Diaosi swallowed his saliva and whispered: "General, Alugu said that at the end of every month, someone will come to transport the ore. How do you think they transport it? So much ore?”

Chu Kui ignored him and just stared at the mine. There were about 300 miners and 100 guards. He had brought 500 elite soldiers this time, so he should be able to win the battle quickly.

Chu Kui's voice was low, "Rest where you are and move after dark."

"Yes, General."

Shen Fangshi finally finished the farm tool making course and personally made and improved a stubble stirrer for plowing the ground.

In his spare time, Shen Fangshi would go to the fields to inspect the land. The land in Yuchengguan would become very hard due to heavy snow and other factors. It would be difficult to turn it over with only manpower and worn-out farm tools, so he wanted to help turn over the land. machine.

As long as there is the traction of livestock such as cattle in front, the stubble churner can easily soften the land.

And considering that many people do not have cattle at home and can only use human power instead of livestock power, Shen Fangshi also specially designed a labor-saving device.

Although the efficiency is not as high as that of later generations due to power reasons, it is much more efficient than today's people digging bit by bit with hoes.

Since the system task stipulates that the first piece of each tool must be completed independently, and there is no place for blacksmithing in his residence, so the stubble mixer was built with harder wood instead of metal.

The wooden mixer was sent to the military workshop, and it really aroused the admiration of the craftsmen. However, the military workshop is a workshop that makes weapons after all. It is not very good at agricultural tools, and it cannot occupy the resources of the military workshop to make agricultural tools. .

So Shen Fangshi went to find Li You again. Li You was in charge of logistics, and he was also responsible for the army's farming. So when he saw the stirrup machine built by Shen Fangshi, he immediately decided to find a piece of wasteland for testing.

In addition to the stubble mixer, Shen Fangshi is also planning to make a plow. Yuchengguan is all dry land, and after the soil is plowed, ridges need to be raised. Shen Fangshi has seen the plows of later generations. With one pass, it can plow about six or even eight ridges. .

Although he was not prepared to make such a large plow due to practical reasons, it was still possible to make a smaller one according to this style.

At the same time, they are also preparing to install a seeder on it during the process of sinking. When the time comes, they will plow and sow at the same time, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the farmers.

But the most important thing now is the test of the stubble mixer.

Li You quickly found an ox, tied up the stubble churner, and asked the soldiers to drive the ox to start plowing the land. He quickly plowed half an acre of land. Li You even went to the field to try it out with a hoe. Unexpectedly, the land that was turned over was dug up very easily.

Li You lowered his head and looked at the land suspiciously, then looked at the hoe in his hand, and tried to dig out the untouched land again. This time it was very difficult to dig out a hole.

Li You was excited and looked at Shen Fangshi beside him excitedly, "Xiao Tong, you are so awesome."

He didn't expect that Lin Ku was not only a great weapon maker, but also a master at making farm tools. Now he felt more and more that they had picked up a treasure.

Every year, their army spends a lot of manpower and time to farm, but the harvest is not much. If they don't farm, it won't work. The military pay is not enough. Tens of thousands of people in the army have to eat. Now this kind of agricultural machinery saves a lot of effort for the soldiers. ah.

Shen Fangshi smiled, "General Li, this stirrer of mine is still made of wood. If there is enough copper and iron, the effect will be better."

Li You paused and sent his generals to look for iron ore. It had been three days and they didn't know what the situation was now.

However, Shen Fangshi didn't know about this yet. After they learned the specific location of the iron mine, Chu Kui and his people set off. For confidentiality reasons, they didn't tell Shen Fangshi yet.

Li You felt a little guilty. Without Shen Fangshi, they would not have discovered the iron ore, but Li You couldn't tell him on his own, so he could only say vaguely: "Hahaha, there will be some. "
