One thousand one hundred and thirty-one The prosperous Xishan Port, planting rice and beans
"O God! The red top of the mountain, the brass-colored rocks, the sparse vegetation...this is the Big Iron Mountain full of iron ore!"
"Ah? Master Shaman is right!...This evil mountain is very long from east to west, from south to north! At the foot of the mountain in the east, there are several bubbling poisonous springs...No! Then
It’s the one that shines a light yellow!…”
The "Big Iron Mountain" in the Death Valley is located beside a small bitter lake. This evil mountain where the legendary evil snake lives is only a few hundred meters high, but the mountain stretches for a long time, like a coiled mountain.
Long snake.
When everyone walked into the mountain, there were very few vegetation, birds and animals, and the smell of death and sulfur was everywhere. From the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain, there were large areas of exposed pale brass-colored rock, exactly the same as the pyrite smelted before.
As we climbed to the top of the mountain, we saw large and small red stones, some even tens of meters long!
"Dang! Dang!..."
Mickey, the knowledgeable man, pulled out his copper ax and struck the red stone on the top of the mountain twice, and heard the "clang" sound of the metal colliding. He groped carefully for a while, and then tasted the powder of the red stone, with a faint
The smell of blood, he confirmed excitedly.
"The Lord God testifies! The top of this mountain is red iron ore, just like the iron ore in Black Rock Mountain! And the brass-colored ore in the entire mountain is all that kind of pyrite! ... Praise the Lord God! This is a mountain that has never been seen before.
There has ever been a huge iron mountain!…”
"Ah! Praise the Lord God, this is really an iron mountain! Such a big and long iron mountain!"
After confirming the existence of Iron Mountain, Priest Xifen was excited and praised piously. He even knelt down and kissed the top of the deserted Iron Mountain. At this moment, he felt the faint taste of rust on his lips, as if he was drinking a swig.
The blood wine given by the gods is full of vitality and the flavor of the future!
"God bless you! With such a big iron mountain, we can smelt tens of thousands of iron and make tens of thousands of iron tools!..."
"That's right! That's right! This big iron mountain on the west coast is far better than the kingdom's Black Rock Mountain iron mine in terms of scale and quality! ... As long as this big iron mountain can be mined, all the kingdom's settlements in the north will be
The plateaus of the Kingdom and the Alliance, and even the entire known world, can use cheap and abundant iron tools!... Praise the Lord God!..."
The two priests of the kingdom prayed excitedly and sang the hymn of the plateau. The enthusiasm of pure joy was like two young children getting the gift they dreamed of. The warriors of the kingdom and the strong men of the tribe also showed bright faces.
smiles. Although they could not understand the joy of the two priests, they also celebrated together.
"Praise the supreme God! Give us the huge iron mountain!..."
“Bless the great god of corn! Drive away the evil snakes in the mountains!…”
Songs of devout prayers echoed in the barren mountains. The towering Great White Mountains in the north were shining with white holy light, reflecting the Iron Mountains in the south.
In fact, this long and narrow mountain range that reflects the Shastein volcano was formed by ancient volcanic movements and was also called the "Iron Mountain" in later generations. It contains more than 40 million tons of iron sulfide ore.
It is the largest sulfide mine in North America. It has always been famous for its serious pollution, with pH-3.6!
Because in later generations, the iron sulfide ore in this Tieshan ore belt was not used for iron smelting, but was used to produce a more valuable and rare chemical raw material: sulfuric acid!
"Well, from Huwan Port to the east, to the end of the long river, and over two hills, there is the big red-topped iron mountain! ... We need to arrange manpower as soon as possible to establish a mining camp in this area. It is about four to five hundred miles away.
distance, it is best to find a waterway that is convenient for transportation!…”
After praying, Mikey, the knowledgeable man, took out a pen and paper and carefully recorded the location and characteristics of Datie Mountain. A faint doubt also flashed through his mind.
"Strange! Why is there red red iron ore at the top of this big iron mountain, but only light yellow pyrite from the top of the mountain?...What is the difference between red iron and yellow iron?..."
The setting sun set in the west and fell on the red and yellow iron mountain, as if it were coated with a layer of shining paint. And the same golden light was also floating in the kingdom's Xishan Port, seven hundred miles away in the south.
The warrior captain Shi Jian stepped off the Zheyang ship and boarded the prosperous Xishan port. In his sight, there were five long boats and more than a hundred fishing canoes, all loaded with fishing boats.
Harvest, with floating golden light, returning from the bay where fish gather.
"God bless you! Captain Shi Jian, look! There are 400 shacks, more than 2,000 tribesmen, and 4,000 acres of farmland in the Kingdom's Xishan Port! There are enough for 2,000 people in those cellars with leather roofs.
Eat a year’s worth of food!…
With a confident smile on his face, Priest Ke Yuan looked around the sparkling harbor and introduced the camp at the harbor. Thousands of Miwok tribesmen were busy between the fishing boats and the harbor. And the vast expanse of farmland stretched along the
The creek in the southeast spreads out, growing lush corn, beans, pumpkins and potatoes.
"Look at this coast! It's the only shipyard on the west coast, a small kiln for smelting bronze!... Look at the hill to the east! The epigraphic temple of the main god is built with regular stones, shining with flowing water.
The golden light...is all gold ore mined from the mountains to the east!...Look at the small island to the west. It is the open-air market where we trade with Miwok ministries. Those canoes, large and small, are all rice that comes to trade.
Walkers, the furthest ones come from four to five hundred miles away!"
"Praise the Lord God! What a vast and spectacular bay, what a rich and beautiful port! This is the center of the five thousand miles of west coast!..."
The warrior captain Shi Jian's face was full of joy, and he looked at the camp in Xishan Port greedily, as if he wanted to remember everything in his heart. Those fishing boats and farmland symbolized the busy and harvested September. And the shipyard and bronze kiln in the camp
, the temple of the main god, and the open-air market represent the prosperity and growth of the port!…
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, Shi Jian took a long breath of satisfaction, looked at the priest Ke Yuan who was presiding over the port, and relayed the arrangements left by Mickey.
"Witness the Lord God! Dear Chief Priest Ke Yuan, you have done a great job! ... This sea ship was captured by the Chief Priest Zuwaro from the Xihai tribe and sent back thousands of miles away. Many people on board the ship came from
Master craftsmen of the Xihai Tribe!…”
"Chief Priest Mikey is now in the northern Huwan Port, looking for a large iron mountain that may exist! And I first brought a sea ship over and repaired it at the shipyard... It will be about a month before Chief Priest Mikey will take the long-distance ship.
Come ship!"
"By the way, God bless you! We also brought back four new crops from the Xihai tribe! What are they called 'rice', 'millet', 'soybean', 'pea'... Chief Priest Ke Yuan, you have enough manpower here and the climate is year-round.
It is warm, has abundant rainfall, and has fresh water rivers... According to the experience of the Xihai tribe, it is very suitable for planting these new crops... It just so happens that the sea ship will stay here for a month, and the Xihai tribes have nothing to do... These new crops are here
In Xishan Port, let’s plant it first and take a look!”
"Oh! Four new crops from the West Sea, 'rice' and 'beans'? Just like the cassava from the East Sea?..."
Hearing this, Chief Priest Ke Yuan's eyes flashed with light. He looked at the prisoners of war and Korea on the ship with great interest, and then looked at a few bags of strange seeds unloaded from the ship. He smelled them and never smelled them.
The fragrance of rice and beans passed by. A moment later, he stood under the sunset at the harbor, pointed at the lush farmland to the east of the camp, and said with a confident smile.
"Praise the Lord God! The water and soil here are very good, and it is a good place for farming! ... Since there are new seeds from the Western Sea, let's plant them first and take a look!"
