The green mountains are swaying, the beautiful water is beautiful, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the breeze is swaying. The air is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, plants, trees and the smell of soil. Luo Zongshan took a few deep breaths of fresh air comfortably, and then he held his hand and began to patrol his jurisdiction.

This is a wide basin, with a small river flowing by the side and green mountains surrounding it, making it a rare and good place.

Now, gray tents are scattered everywhere on the flat ground, and countless people are busy in the tents, some are weeding, some are digging holes, some are lifting water, some are mixing mud, some are turning the soil bricks, and some are logging in the woods not far away.

Luo Zongshan did not hold a whip in his hand, nor did he urge his subordinates to open his throat. Everyone was very conscious because if they didn't build a house quickly, they would have to sleep in the open in a dozen days. The tent they live in now could be borrowed, and they would have to pay it back in half a month.

Due to the tight time, Luo Zongshan did not build tall and strong brick houses. He asked the people below to build low acres of brick houses, because winter would be coming here in two months. They had no time to burn red bricks and build buildings, so they could only build some low acres of brick houses and live in first.

Fortunately, they came from poor places. Even in their hometown, they had no money to buy coal and burn red bricks, and they used acres of bricks to build houses, so they were familiar with building a brick house.

Everyone was very busy, but Luo Zongshan did not take action. Although he was a strong laborer, he was still the leader of these people. He had to worry about the food and accommodation issues of thousands of people. He also had to think about how to support these thousands of people in the future, how to develop, how to make money, and the burden on his shoulders was heavy, so how could he have time to build a house.

What he has done the most these days is reading books in his own tent. He is reading books whether it is the books given to him by Ma Kai or the books given to him by major royal businesses, because he has to figure out what to do here, what to do is the fastest and what to make the most profit.

After reading it for a few days, he finally had a rough understanding.

The fastest way to make money is to hunt and collect precious medicinal materials and fruits. If you go there on the same day, you will get harvest on the same day. However, hunting skills require training, and medicinal materials and fruits need to be distinguished by familiar people. These are all urgent issues.

The most profitable one is naturally mining. No matter what kind of mine it is, as long as it is found, the imperial court rewards it will be a lot, and then people can be organized to dig it out and sell it for money. Of course, the premise is that it is here, and it must be found.

As for breeding and planting, there is no profit in a short period of time, and the elderly and women and children can take care of these things, and there is no need to spend too much energy.

Based on these situations, Luo Zongshan decided to divide his strong labor into four groups.

He personally brought two hundred households and three hundred yuan to find the mine. He spent a few months searching the entire jurisdiction to see if the mine could be found;

Lao Wang, who was more knowledgeable, brought two hundred households, three hundred and strong. He took the books and went to the mountains and forests to find precious medicinal materials. He first searched them to see if there was any of them in his jurisdiction;

The smarter Lao Zhang brought two hundred households, three hundred households, and the most powerful ones. He took the books and went to the mountains and forests to recruit precious fruits. He also searched them roughly to see if there was any of them in his jurisdiction.

The more wise old Xie took two hundred households and the smartest young man in No. 300. He first practiced his hunting skills and then went into the mountains to hunt;

As for the oldest old Cai, he stayed at home to bring some corrupt scholars and old people to plant and breed. Anyway, this guy was originally a farmer.

After he had almost finished his consideration, the simple aboriginal brick house was almost built. At this time, twelve days had passed. He hurriedly ordered Lao Zhang to take his 300-plus man to return the tent and bring the grain back. As for cement, it is not enough this year. If you can pull it, it will be the same if you can pull it slowly after you can pull it.

Fortunately, when they came here, they had already widened the road. In addition, they didn’t have to take their families and the group of people drove the carriage and could make a round trip in a day.

The imperial court allocated them this time an eight-month amount of grain. Except for the first time they brought back, the remaining one was about 20,000 shi. They were transported back in two trips. As for cement, it was only 5,000 packs, and it was transported back in one trip. It was a coincidence that in just three days, everything was transported back. After handing over the carriage, the Dusi Yamen would not have to go for the time being.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Zongshan began to dispatch personnel, weapons and tasks.

Lao Xie's group, three hundred people, equipped with one hundred spears and one hundred waist knives, two hundred longbows and three thousand feather arrows, all of which were selected the best;

Lao Wang and Lao Zhang had 300 men under him, all of whom had 100 spears, 100 waist knives, and 100 longbows and 1,000 feather arrows;

As for his own group of 300 people, he brought one hundred spears, and one hundred waist knives, there were more than one hundred waist knives, because they mainly brought hoes.

As soon as the tasks were allocated, each group began to take active actions, because these were related to money and future life. Basically, they would not need Luo Zongshan to supervise them, and they would do it consciously.

Luo Zongshan himself was also very active, or very rough, because mineral deposits are the most profitable, so he couldn't do it without being excited. After giving the task, he immediately brought three hundred people around the mountains and found them all over the mountains.

If you want to talk about this luck, I don’t know whether he is lucky or bad. In fact, what he wants to find most are those minerals with surface characteristics. For example, where iron ore is dense, there are traces of lightning strikes. As the saying goes, there are many knivet trees, and where copper ore is dense, malachite will usually be found. If you see a large green piece of stone on the surface, there will definitely be copper ore under it.

However, at the beginning, he was extremely lucky. After searching for more than ten days, he did not find any similar surface characteristics. In other words, he found nothing and worked in vain for more than ten days.

Luo Zongshan is also a man with a firm will. In other words, he was a little stubborn. After searching for more than ten days, he couldn't find anything. Not only did he not be discouraged, he got into the mines and couldn't see them, so he dug them. So, every time he passed a mountain, he would ask someone to dig hard at the foot of the mountain. It would be one or two meters deep. He wanted to see if his jurisdiction was full of soil. If it was all soil, he would die of looking for minerals and do everything else.

I have to say that at this time he was extremely lucky, because most of the coal mines in Siberia are surface mines, which means that as long as the floating soil is dug up on it, you can see coal.

When he dug, he really found coal. Many places were mined with black oil and oil. Moreover, there were more and more places like this, almost everywhere. His jurisdiction was a huge open-pit coal mine!
