Chapter 80: Keep Your Duty (2)
News of re-exploiting iron ore near Fuling came to the southwest Barbarian and Miao tribe. Many Barbarian and Miao people expressed strong condemnation on this, and even jointly wrote a letter to the Fuling County Magistrate. The news was that the iron ore mined in Fuling was originally Han and Tang veins and had nothing to do with the Barbarian and Miao people, and the Man and Miao people had no right to protest.
In the Fuling iron ore mining, the retail investors in the city who had nothing to do found their jobs. Li Xuansheng handed over to Meng Jue for the iron ore mining. Meng Jue did not disappoint Li Xuansheng. As a local, he knew very well that these people were in a state of mind. Fortunately, the iron ore mining was only blocked before the tunnel was dug.
Since Meng Jue decided to follow Li Xuansheng, he naturally needed to bring unexpected gains to his master.
Meng Jue followed the mantra left by his father and searched for the markings in the iron ore tunnel. After careful searching for three days, Meng Jue finally knew the general direction of the tunnel.
Lighting the torch, Meng Jue led the miners to walk carefully in the deep mine. The more the mine went, the colder the temperature became. If it weren't for his personal experience, they would never believe that there would be a different world in the mine.
When I reached the end, a black flash of light from the stone wall of the mine was drawn under the torch light.
"Black iron ore!"
Li Xuansheng was most shocked when he received the news from Meng Jue. He did not expect that Meng Jue would actually know the secret hidden in the Fuling Iron Mine.
"General, I have no choice but to keep it secret. When the Lingnan Yue tribe was ruled, they had just learned this secret and broke out a war with the Han and Tang dynasties. In order to keep this secret, the lord of Fuling killed all the miners who knew this secret. He sealed the mine veins and said that it was angering the gods in the mountains, which led to the Han and Tang dynasties attacking Fuling.
But unexpectedly, my great-grandfather crawled out of the pile of dead people. Later, it was passed on to my generation. The general's black iron ore is the best ore for forging weapons. If they are used to build weapons and armor, it will definitely greatly increase the combat capabilities of soldiers."
Li Xuansheng nodded and said seriously to Meng Jue, "I know this by my own people, so don't spread it. I think once this treasure mine is known by others, I will have a lot of thieves."
"Yes, general, my subordinates understand. There are also some cold jade black iron among this black iron. The cold jade black iron is harder than the black iron. It only exists in the transcript of Ou Yezi during the Warring States Period. Ou Yezi once used this cold jade black iron to create a cold sword against the water. However, the magic weapon was brought to his underground palace by Emperor Qin of Ying's family."
Of course, Li Xuansheng knew that the legendary cold sword of Nishui was so cold that it was so cold that it was so cold that it was hurt by its sword energy. Once it was injured by its sword energy, it would be either dead or injured. The owner of the cold sword of Nishui was the ancestor of the Dugu family, Dugu Hao, the imperial guard who was most trusted by Emperor Qin of the Ying family.
Since he met him in Beiyan, Emperor Qin of Ying has been guarded by Dugu Hao. Even the swordsman with great swordsmanship at that time, he was killed by him when he assassinated Emperor Qin of Ying. People in the world only think that he is just a arrogant divine weapon to defeat those top swordsmen.
Later, Jing Wushuang, Beiyan, took another divine weapon, the Soul Chasing Sword, assassinated Emperor Qin of Ying, and the two fought in the Qindu Emperor Palace. As a result, Dugu Hao killed Jing Wushuang at the cost of breaking his arm. Unfortunately, the sword energy of the Soul Chasing Sword also injured Emperor Qin of Ying, which caused the legendary emperor not to live for too long.
The magic weapon, a weapon that only exists in classics, has long since disappeared from the magic weapon in this era. No one will reject it for the magic weapon. Since this cold jade Xuan Iron has been encountered by himself, Li Xuansheng naturally hopes to get it. However, Li Xuansheng does not like swords, he hopes to have a spear.
Li Xuansheng instructed, "Mengjue, help me get the cold jade black iron, and then you will send it to Gusu in person. Be careful all the way here."
Meng Jue bowed his hand and said, "Yes, general. I will do it now."
Meng Jue spent a lot of time to take away the cold jade black iron. In the end, the cold jade black iron removed from the black iron ore was about 30 kilograms.
Take out the Hanyu Xuan Iron Ore and a biting chill came from it. If Meng Jue had been prepared, his hands might have been frozen.
Meng Jue searched around again and found that there were only these cold jade black iron here, and the others were ordinary black iron ore. These black iron ore were also expensive. Generally speaking, the black iron ore here was estimated to be about a thousand kilograms. If it were replaced by the price on the market, the thousand kilograms here could create a wealthy man in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Fortunately, he did not choose to monopolize the secret of this iron ore, otherwise such a large amount of black iron ore would have left him dead without a place to die.
"What did you say?" Zhou Baiwan immediately jumped out of the seat after seeing Meng Jue in Gusu, "Hurry up, show me."
Zhou Baiwan said to his subordinates, "You all go down, no one is allowed to come in without my order."
After his subordinates went out, Meng Jue opened the gift box he brought, and the cold cold immediately surged out of the gift box, which made Zhou Baiwan unable to help but fight a cold war.
Seeing the essence of the iron ore, Zhou Baiwan couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the legendary Hanyu Xuan Iron."
"Yes, young owner, this is what my general asked me to bring. I hope you can help him forge a spear."
Zhou Baiwan groped in Han Yu Xuan Tie, but he felt greedy in his heart. Fortunately, the cold chill made him realize his wrong thoughts.
"Well, since it's what Xuansheng asked, I will definitely help him complete it."
"Young master, when I come, the general will have a letter to you!" Meng Jue took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Baiwan.
After giving the letter to Zhou Baiwan, Meng Jue consciously walked out of Zhou Baiwan's room. Zhou Baiwan opened the letter and read the contents of the letter. After reading it, Zhou Baiwan took a deep breath, "Hey, this is really an attractive deal."
The content of the letter is that Li Xuansheng needs Zhou Baiwan to help him transport the black iron ore. In the letter, Li Xuansheng does not intend to hand over the black iron ore to anyone, and those who know the secret are their own people. As for those who are disobedient, they have been dealt with.
Although I don’t know why Li Xuansheng did this, Zhou Baiwan still plans to take a try, at least this transaction is sure to make a profit.
Li Xuansheng didn't just tell Zhou Baiwan, but also sent a letter to Jingzhou. After Yuwenba received the letter, he laughed.
The guard of Yuwenba respectfully said, "Mr. Marquis, did you receive any good news?"
"Well, it was my little friend who gave me a big gift. I just wanted to help him once."
"Oh, that's right? What's the Marquis going to do?"
"If I pass the order, I will say that the government soldiers will practice and send some of the government soldiers to the Fuling River. By the way, I will write a letter to Wuling An Yu, telling him that the military support of Jingzhou will be given more care."
"Yes, Marquis, let's go here."
