The maids suddenly started laughing and making noise,
"Brother Hanwen, what are you doing?" Tianjiao blushed when the maid made such a fuss. Hanwen looked at her blushing and gently approached her, blowing his hot breath directly into her ears.
Immediately, Tianjiao closed her eyes and looked at her waiting expression,
"Fool, what are you doing with your eyes closed? I'll take you to find the treasure."
After saying that, he scratched her nose and walked out of the mansion with a smile.
"Brother Hanwen, you hate me"
Four direwolves also followed, and two giant eagles flew in the air, stepping onto the carriage. Seeing their eagerness, Youyue was also curious and hurriedly followed,
Xiao Wu led dozens of Taishan troops and hundreds of civilian troops
There are also four personal maids to protect the carriage and set off to the south of the city.
"Brother Hanwen, where are we going?"
"I heard from the Mu family that there is red iron ore in Yangjia Village in the south of the city."
"real"
“There shouldn’t be any lies”
According to Tiangong Kaiwu records, red iron ore is also called hematite ore. Its surface color is iron black or steel gray, and others are dark red, but their streaks are all dark red. Therefore, hematite is soft in texture.
, easy to break, with dense crystal structure, dark brown scratches, and strong magnetism, similar to magnetite. However, it is resistant to high temperatures and is not easy to refine.
"Didn't we find coal? With it, we will be able to refine red iron ore."
"What is Carboniferous"
You Yue saw that they were discussing with great interest, so she interrupted their conversation out of curiosity and asked
Only then did Hanwen realize that there was another person next to him.
"Who asked you to come up? Xiaowu took her out and silenced her."
Youyue was taken out of the carriage,
"How dare you, bastard"
"Brother Hanwen, don't kill him."
"Don't worry, I'm scaring her."
We arrived at a dilapidated village in half an hour. There were only a few mud-tile houses. Most of them were wooden and thatched houses, and there was also one mud-brick house. Seeing the Taishan Army approaching, the village chief Yang Deming and the people dropped their farm tools.
Arriving at the entrance of the village to greet the Tarzan army, four direwolves came out.
"There are wolves"
"Run quickly" people hurriedly ran away
Hanwen stepped out of the carriage,
"Don't be afraid, folks, they are wolves raised by me and will not hurt you."
Someone has seen the Crown Prince. He wears a black gold crown, plain black armor, and a plain robe. He has a smooth and white face with sharp edges and corners; his deep eyes and majestic aura are exactly the same as what he saw when he entered the city.
, knelt down quickly
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince"
"Everyone, please get up. I've taken the liberty to disturb you all."
Hanwen got out of the car and stroked the four direwolves.
"I came to your village today because I heard that there is red iron ore here, so I came here to take a look."
"Yes, there is, but it's difficult to refine iron from the iron ore here. Some young people tried to refine it, but the furnace exploded and they were killed on the spot. Prince, please be careful."
"Thank you, village chief, for reminding me. If nothing happens, I'll go take a look."
"Your Majesty, please come with me."
Sure enough, we didn't walk long before we saw a 100-meter-high mountain pile, reflecting red light under the sunlight.
“Quite big”
"It covers an area of nearly a thousand acres. If it weren't for this abandoned mountain, our Yangjia Village would have at least a thousand acres of fertile land, and our life wouldn't be so hard,"
Looking at it, Hanwen was extremely happy and walked around the mountain.
"How about Tianjiao?"
“It’s quite heavy, and the iron content is quite high.”
"I want this mountain from the village chief. How much does it cost?"
"Your Majesty, this is an abandoned mountain. It's worthless. You can just use it."
"I have use for this stone. Our Taishan Army never takes anything from the people. Your Majesty, you have been very kind to our Yangjia Village. I still want to collect your money for this abandoned mountain. I'm afraid that I will be spit on and drowned by other villagers when I leave the village."
"
"How many households are there in your village?"
"One hundred and thirty-one households"
"Let's do this. I will give you ten taels of silver from each household."
“No, no, it’s too much.”
"I still need your help. I need you to help me take care of this mountain. No outsiders are allowed to come near. You villagers can also work for me, earning a hundred dollars a day."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Starting immediately, I will send people to guard this mountain day and night."
"Thank you very much. You can form a militia guard. I will provide you with weapons and the treatment will be the same as that of government officials. Remember, no strangers are allowed to approach this place in the future."
"Yes, please keep this in mind"
"Xiao Wu, go back alone and ask Qin Ying to go to the Black Stone Mountain in the north of the city and drag five carts of black stones back to the city, the same kind that my wife brought last time. By the way, you can bring a hundred Taishan troops and five thousand taels of silver."
"Follow your orders"
"Village Chief, please cook us some food. We are in a hurry to go out."
"Can I ask the people to help me mine a few hundred kilograms of stone ore and transport it to the city?"
"Prince, the mountain road to the city is not easy to walk, so we can only go to the city."
"Don't worry, I will give the villagers money."
"OK"
Soon the village chief mobilized the people. The women cooked and the men mined. At this time, the giant eagle landed and played with the direwolf.
"Is there any prey near the village chief?"
"Yes, there are wild boars and tigers in the wild boar forest next to it. Several people were injured not long ago, and there are also tigers."
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, let's go hunting. Yang Dacheng, you guys stay here to protect my wife. Let me leave the people's army."
"Follow your orders"
Hanwen ran towards the mountains and forests with hundreds of civilian troops and stopped in the woods.
"You will spread out in groups of ten, carefully observe the terrain three miles away around the red iron stone mine, draw a map, and mark key points and places that need defense."
"Follow your orders"
Hundreds of people and ten teams dispersed. At this time, the long roar of small black and small white came from the air. I looked up and saw two giant eagles circling in the northwest direction. It seemed that they had found their prey.
"Peace, dawn, dawn, dawn, let's go"
Hanwen rode towards the northwest. Four direwolves howled and followed Hanwen. Soon they found a large wild boar weighing nearly two hundred kilograms in a dense forest. It had a thick double layer of fur.
, the overall coat color is dark brown or black, and the top layer is composed of harder bristles, just like a hedgehog. A pair of canine teeth are exposed and turned upward, forming a fang shape, and it looks fierce and unusual.
Four direwolves, bared teeth, approached the wild boar,
Taiping, rush into the bushes and pounce on them like a hungry tiger pounces on a sheep
"Step back Taiping, you are no match for him"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was head-over-headed by a wild boar. After landing, it quickly turned over and stood up. The other three also swarmed up and bit the wild boar. The wild boar kept turning in circles and used its fangs to defend its body. Taiping pounced again,
The sharp wolf claws opened a big gash in the wild boar's thick fur. It screamed in pain and turned to push Taiping. The three direwolves pounced on it together, biting the legs, ears, and scratching the neck. With the help of their rough skin and flesh,
It broke away from the siege of four wolves and ran towards the woods and into the open area. Xiao Hei swooped down and grabbed the wild boar. The huge wild boar fell down, followed by it, roaring in pain, Taiping took the three wolf brothers,
They swarmed up and killed the wild boar,
Seeing this battle, Hanwen was terrified. He didn't expect Taiping to be so powerful. He would definitely be a fearsome warrior in the future. Hanwen called four civilian soldiers to drag the wild boar back.
The villagers couldn't help but marvel when they saw such a huge wild boar.
"What a big wild boar. Even the three strong men in our village failed to catch it last time. I didn't expect it to be caught by the prince so easily."
"Village chief, please distribute this pig to the people."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four Bingyuan and Little Black and Little White also had a full meal.
After lunch, nearly a hundred kilograms of ore was finally mined in two hours, and the money was delivered. Hanwen returned to the county town with the ore.
"Xu, what do you mean you tied me to the carriage?"
"You Yue, you need to know one thing. The more you know, the faster you will die."
The carriage stumbled, and it seemed that the road had to be repaired. When we returned to the county town, Qin Ying had brought back the carless coal.
"Your Majesty, why do you want this black stone?"
"It's useful. You can find an iron-making furnace and put it behind the county government office."
"Your Majesty, you want to make iron"
"right"
"Move all these black stones and red iron ore to the backyard. By the way, let the civilian army go to Yangjiacun to build roads tomorrow, all the way to the county gate."
"yes"
The furnace, coal, and iron ore were all ready. Hanwen opened the Tiangong Kaiwu and began to make iron according to the iron making method above.
Boom,
Not long after, the iron ore exploded and flint exploded.
"Brother Hanwen, are you okay?"
"fine"
"Your Majesty, I heard my grandfather say that if there is a burst during iron smelting, some special ash can be added to the surface of the iron ore,"
With the lesson learned last time, this time he looked for small pieces of iron ore to explode and sprinkled ash on the surface. This time it still exploded.
"It seems that the ashes are hard to find."
"Brother Hanwen, let's see if we can use lime."
"Let me try"
This time Hanwen sprinkled fine lime on the iron ore. This time the red iron ore did not explode, but liquid flowed out. He knew it was molten iron.
"It's successful, it's successful, Tianjiao, look at them melting"
"Congratulations to Brother Hanwen" This chapter has been completed!
