Chapter 774 The sinking iron ore outside Frata Port
The sinking iron is a cast iron that is higher than the fine iron used by ordinary immortals. It is heavier and more solid than the fine iron.
The price of sinking iron is often produced by big rivers, or even the seabed, with a lot of output. Therefore, its price has always been very expensive. If the price of refined iron is comparable to gold, then the price of sinking iron is ten times that of gold of the same weight, and it is often unlimited.
Nation countries like the Northern Jin Kingdom have never found any submerged iron ore.
If a sinking iron ore is really discovered outside the Port of Flata, it would be like a mountain of gold.
Jin Ling was very happy to receive this news, whistled, and followed Yang Lixuan to Port Flata with Wulangwu. While walking, Yang Lixuan reported.
According to the plan formulated by Jin Ling, General Sowell, left, led his subordinates to escort 8,000 prisoners of Lou Fang, and joined 20,000 barbarians to clear the silt on the planned route northward from the port of Fla.
Jin Ling had already thought about it, and this was a two-drawn move. I don’t know how many tens of thousands of years the silt silt at the bottom of the silt has been deposited and is very fertile. The silt dug out and transported to the ashore can be directly covered on many wastelands for planting, which can definitely change the current situation of barbaric land.
The newly opened deep-water channel can pass through large ships for shipping, and can connect large quantities of materials and barbarian properties to prosper commerce.
Unexpectedly, killing two birds with one stone becomes three goals, and even a sinking iron ore was found in this Zedi.
On the way, Yang Lixuan showed him a few pieces of iron ore. They were not big, and the largest one was just the size of a palm. The stone was mixed with large areas of iron ore, which was very heavy when you bought it.
"These are just the samples found initially." Yang Lixuan said, "Because it is of great importance, after the barbarians were found, they did not allow the barbarians to continue to participate. After the musket team members went into the water, they carefully investigated and found a mine belt, which was about four or five miles long. The depth was unknown. There were a large amount of this type of ore in this mine belt. At present, all the relevant waters have been wetted and marked as a restricted area, and the muskets and advance team members are closely guarded."
When they arrived at the Port of Flata, they saw a busy scene inside and outside the port. Groups of barbarians pushed various large wooden carts, which were filled with wet silt that had just been dug out of the bottom of the port. They were all sent to a silt accumulation site outside the port. Then some people used larger wooden carts to transport them to some barren land and firmly covered with a layer.
Listen to these Northern Jin people, the silt that has accumulated in the bottom of the barbarian marsh for thousands of years has improved the barbarian land status that has been barren for thousands of years, and they are particularly excited to do their work. After all, it is not to have hope.
Jin Ling and the others took a boat to a place one or two outside the port. The surrounding area was circled with ropes on the sea and formed a restricted area. The advance brigade was riding two hovercrafts that had been repaired, and they were closely guarding the surrounding area.
Yang Lixuan took Jin Ling on one of the hovercraft, and Tan Hualang, the captain of the advance brigade, immediately came up to meet him.
"Captain Tan, if you want you to guard here yourself, you will be able to use some great materials." Jin Ling said with a smile.
"The iron ore sinking is of great importance, not a big deal." Tan Hualang said. He was so impressed by this young master of Jinyuan. More than ten days ago, he was forced by this young man with force, and all the gang members turned into the advance brigade of Jinyuan. At that time, he was always unwilling to do so. In the past few days, the Jinyuan army had almost no staff, and fought in the Shangui Barbarian tribe, and conquered a barbarian tribe with a population of nearly 200,000.
This is an achievement that no one in the Northern Jin Kingdom has been able to achieve for almost thousands of years. This glory now belongs to the Hualang Gang. Such a reversal has made the vast majority of the Hualang Gang feel deeply.
The cabin in the middle of the hovercraft was closely guarded by the Hualang Gang. Four or five large boxes were placed in the cabin, and the lids were opened, and there were large blocks of sinking iron ore inside.
"At present, the advance team and the musket team went into the water to fish, and a total of 431 iron ore blocks were harvested, with weights ranging from one pound to four ounces to fifteen pounds and seven ounces, and the fishing locations were distributed in a strip form." Tan Hualang drew the locations for each ore block on a map, which was indeed distributed in a strip form, which was a typical feature of the ore veins.
"Very good." Jin Ling learned the detailed information and said, "The news about this iron-sinking vein must be kept strictly confidential. The barbarian prisoners who have already learned the information must be isolated and detained, but they must be treated well. The subsequent matters must not be involved."
"Yes, young master, I have taken down all the barbarians who are familiar with it." Tan Hualang said.
"After all, this matter is a big thing. It can be concealed for a while, but it cannot be concealed for a long time. My identity is quite sensitive. At this time, Zhengman has made military achievements again and should not be exposed again." Jin Ling thought, "You stop the development of the ore veins here, just protect the surroundings and set them as a forbidden area. In the name of the appearance of the demon crocodile in Zedi, others are not allowed to enter easily. The development matter should be led by the Gu family and others."
"Gu family?" Tan Hualang puzzled, "This is our discovery. If we leave it to them, the profit will not be good anymore. Wouldn't we share the profit?"
"It's hard to be fat if you eat alone." Jin Ling said, "The Gu family is an ally of Jinyuan and has always been. And before our trip, the Gu family and other forces provided us with a large amount of weapons, equipment and food. It is necessary to give back to our allies."
"Young Master's is it." Tan Hualang agreed.
......
After the Northern Jin army completely controlled the three barbarians, it reported the situation of the war to the Kingdom's Ministry of War. The Ministry of War immediately sent Shang Zhen's instructions, requiring all armies to strictly control the barbarians, deal with post-war affairs, restrain the dead, and treat the wounded.
The kingdom immediately prepared various supplies for more than 300 fishing boats and sent them to the left and right armies. However, I don’t know whether it was intentional or nothing. Although the Jinyuan army occupied a whole Shangui tribe, they did not give them any additional supplies, and all the supplies were distributed to the left army Zheng.
Fortunately, Shang Ran knew about it, and as soon as he received the supplies, he quickly transported some of them to the Shangui tribe.
She personally escorted supplies to the Shangui tribe. The Shangui tribe was nominally captured by her left army, because the young master of Jinyuan was the deputy commander of her left army.
When she came to Danluo City, she was surprised to see the city wall from afar. She knew that Danluo City had newly built the city wall. But she didn't expect that the city wall was built so solidly, and the city area covered was as large as it was, and its scale was developing towards a big city.
However, with the strength of Jinling and Jinyuan, it is not too difficult to build a Jinsong City in the deserted black pine forest.
Under such thoughts, she met Jin Ling who came to greet her.
