Each truck ships about 7,000 kilograms of copper ingots, and more than ten trucks come here for more than 70,000 kilograms. This is the accumulation of copper mines in the past twenty days. With the increase of blast furnaces, the number of miners is enough. The mining of copper ore and melting and casting almost day and night, and there are more and more copper ingots. The coin ingots in Lizhuang are also getting faster and faster with the increase of experience and machines. From the first lunar month to mid-March, more than 400,000 kilograms of copper ingots were melted in more than three months. This speed has to be said to be very amazing.

Of course, it will be faster and faster... According to the budget of the Military Department, by May, the daily production of copper mines can exceed 12,000 kilograms, 30 to 350,000 kilograms per month. According to the reserves of copper mines, workers' numbers and blast furnace numbers, this production should be the peak speed. If it is a copper mine in later generations, it would be almost embarrassed to say that it is a large-scale production if it does not produce hundreds of thousands of tons a year. However, with the current excavation and smelting technology, this speed has no increase, unless it is to squeeze the health of workers and ignore their safety and life, even so, it will not increase much, and it will ruin its reputation for nothing.

When the easy-to-mine ore is mined within half a year or within a year, the mining and smelting speed will decrease, but it is estimated that the yield can still be maintained between one million jin and one and a half million jin per year, which is already very good.

The coachman was going to joke with Li Pingzhi, but seeing the young man wearing neat robe and staying in the car for two days, still energetic, with bright eyes, tall and handsome appearance, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so he got into the car honestly, pressed the lit cigarette pot with his thumb, and said, "Mr. Li, let's go."

Li Pingzhi smiled slightly and agreed.

"Okay, the handover is over."

Outside the Lizhuang Mint Bureau, Li Pingzhi and a mint officer made a handover. Both parties signed the orders and took them back for filing. The cart full of copper ingots entered the Mint Bureau in turn.

Li Pingzhi glanced a few times and couldn't get into the Mint. The secret level here is very high. He Yusheng didn't want to let outsiders know about the situation in the Mint. Not only was the outer area very tightly guarded, but outsiders could not get through at all. Even insiders like Li Pingzhi could not get in without special approval.

In comparison, the garrison in the mining areas in the north was even stricter. The military specially dispatched half a brigade of baggage and three companies of infantry to help the mining areas carry out work. There were also two companies of cavalry patrolling the periphery. Because it was the core area, the periphery was full of docks and military forts, so it was impossible for any information to be leaked.

This is also the reason why He Yusheng had cast a large number of copper coins, and the entire Xuanda University in the capital was disturbed by this incident. Countless people wanted to know the source of He Yusheng's copper material but could not find out the news at all. After discovering the copper mine, no one could tell anyone except the necessary personnel. Later, the military command issued a confidentiality order, and no one could disclose any information. For young officials like Li Pingzhi, they were even more strict orders and the news was not allowed to be leaked.

Although there are rumors among the people that there is a copper mine in Heyusheng, because the news blockade is extremely strict, it is still just a rumor.

Li Pingzhi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye."

The official clasped his fists and said, "It's been hard all the way. If you want to rest in the Lizhuang Pavilion, you can still have breakfast now."

"I won't go." Li Pingzhi said: "I'll drive the carriage back to the mining area after an hour. There's no time to rest."

There is a museum in Lizhuang that is dedicated to resting in public servants who stay in Lizhuang or nearby areas for a short period of time. The dormitory is a single room, and you can check in with official documents. You can also provide three meals for free. The conditions are very good. If you are not convenient to go home, you will choose to take a break in the museum. The time may be one or two hours to half a day, one or two days. However, although the conditions there are good, no one dares to take the risk of delaying business to force a rest. Once you miss the business, you will be recorded once or twice on the record. It will be a stain that will never be removed for life, which will greatly affect the next step of promotion.

"Okay, I wish you a good journey."

The official at the Mint Bureau was an old man. After studying in school for a while, he knew that the junior in front of him was determined and not afraid of suffering. So he didn't say much, and he held his fists and bowed to each other, even if he had parted ways.

Li Pingzhi thought about it and it was really awkward to have more than an hour. It was too late to rest, but he also had to find a place to have breakfast and pass the time. The next bus departure time was fixed, and it was impossible to leave early because of him. Li Pingzhi didn't want to get in the car early and wait. After all, he would have to stay in the car for two days later, and he would be very frustrated when he thought about it.

"It's better to go to school to have a look."

Li Pingzhi left the school less than half a year. Last year, the overall situation will be scheduled to graduate from his group of students. They are not military academy, and after graduation, they are directly assigned to various departments. Some students did not work with Yusheng, but returned to their own families to serve in their families. They will not interfere with the choice of military department... Li Zhuang's schools are divided into primary and intermediate schools. There are rumors that there will be higher schools, but they have not yet been opened.

Beginners start from childhood and children and graduate in six years. If you intend to work within Heyusheng, you can directly be promoted to an intermediate school and then directly recruit the military department after graduation. Of course, those who fail the grades will also be eliminated. No matter how short a person is Lizhuang, if they are unqualified students, they will not be included, so they can only be asked to go home.

Both junior and intermediate schools are free and provide meals, which attracts many children from poor families. However, when you arrive at the intermediate school, you have to serve He Yusheng to be free. You can sign and you must not regret it. If you are unwilling to join He Yusheng and want to learn something useful in the school, you can pay your own tuition and you can decide where you go after graduation.

The self-paid ones are usually sent in by the business bank, and there are not many talents trained by Heyusheng. After all, the intermediate schools have only been established for less than three years, but the ones come out are all top talents. Since Heyusheng is willing to train talents on his behalf, and the strength of each business bank is still willing to send some outstanding children to Heyusheng's school to study. After they come out, they are very capable helpers and can even be cultivated as successors.

Li Pingzhi's school is in Tiancheng Acropolis, not in Lizhuang. After all, Lizhuang is near the factory area, and there are several schools that try to stay away as far as possible. The rest gradually move to Tiancheng Acropolis. Anyway, the difference between there and Lizhuang is not too big.

On the way to the Acropolis in a passenger carriage, Li Pingzhi really hoped to see Zhang Han go there. When he was studying in Tianchengwei, Zhang Han went there about three or five days. Later, after going north, he did not show up in Tianchengwei for more than half a year. When Li Pingzhi and others saw him again, it was already time to go north to play on the grassland.

Unfortunately, Zhang Han obviously had no plans to travel today. In less than half an hour, after Li Pingzhi arrived at the Acropolis, the city was calm and there was no sign of Zhang Han coming to the Acropolis.

After not coming to the Acropolis for several months, Li Pingzhi still felt some changes.

After the New Year, the road from Tianchengwei to Yanghe Aicheng was built. The road from south to north is almost a straight line. There are some mountains in the middle, which are not dense. Just take a little around the road. There was originally an official road, which was disrepaired for a long time. In summer and autumn, the soil was half a person high, and in winter and spring, the barren grass stretched into pieces, and there was almost no way to see where the official road was.

Yanghe Aicheng is a place where government offices are located. The Governor Xuanda and the Deputy General Office, as well as the military preparation roads, and other departments are also in the city. The business is not developed, and people will not go there without any trouble. In recent years, they have opened branches there with Yusheng, and there are almost no decent business disputes. The road is built to facilitate delivery.

Li Pingzhi couldn't help but ponder: Dare to build the road to Yanghe Acropolis, which shows the recent changes in the mentality of the military command!

Although he had a close relationship with the governor, general and other senior officials in the past, the mentality of the Military Office was that it was farther away from these officials. Two years ago, he talked about building roads, and the military office was afraid that the military office would destroy the roads. Yanghe and Datong officials could not come but could not come, so as not to cause trouble.

And nowadays, the military department has obviously become more confident and has a more open mind.

The city is clean everywhere, which is also related to the direct control of He Yusheng. The most conspicuous building complex on the North and North Street was the Chamber of Commerce, but now it has been transformed into He Yusheng's branch, and then the other commercial banks. He Yusheng's schools are on the easternmost part of Cross Street, next to the original school and garrison yamen. Zhang Hanruo worked here in the Acropolis to facilitate him to meet people and teach in the school.

There is a large storage area on the other side of West Street, and the Acropolis is also the top priority of Heyusheng Storage Area. A large number of households have been moved away in the entire West City. All the original vegetable fields and wastelands have been used. The built warehouse can accommodate millions of stones of grain. Even at the national level, it is a very large granary. In addition, there are some armorys and a small number of garrisons. Sometimes, military academy students will rest in the city during training, and there is also a smaller military camp in the west of the city.

Zhang Han served as the garrison for only two years. In addition to the more prosperous business and more commercial banks, the entire acropolis did not move in more residents, but regarded the acropolis as an education and warehousing base. However, with the prosperity and cleanliness of the acropolis, it almost makes people unable to believe that this is a small garrison town in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

The traffic on the street is also very dense. After all, this is an important warehouse base for Heyusheng. Whether it is entering or leaving, the fleet is almost endless. Not only is Heyusheng a business, but it is not only Heyusheng's business. Since the rise of Heyusheng, the entire Xuanda area in northern Shanxi has become more prosperous than before. Originally, Shanxi's Xinpingbao family is Duxiu, which is close to Zhangjiakou. There are many Shanxi merchants doing business to the north. After the end of the horse market, there will be a long period of lows.

It was because He Yusheng was born and the Ma market was gone, and the transactions could still be done. This also caused more merchants from southern Shanxi and even southern Shaanxi to come to northern Shanxi. The location of Tianchengwei was originally very important, otherwise it would not have been selected as the acropolis. Now, because of He Yusheng's existence, it is already a large storage and transportation center and an extremely safe place. Many large businesses have opened branches here, and Zhang Han is of course very welcomed, and the city has become more prosperous as a result.
