Chapter 277 Mining Iron Ore

Fulong Mountain

The letter from Feige brought Xiao Zizhan's news that the emperor had agreed to Xiaoyuntian's mining, but Yangcheng Zhiye Cheng would come to contact Shang Wuyang. It can only be sold to the two designated smelters.

Two days later, Mr. Zhiyecheng Yan paid homage to the mountain in person, inspected the iron mine, negotiated related matters, and signed a government-private cooperation contract.

Therefore, Shang Wuyang began to concentrate on mining iron ore.

He recruited villagers from the nearby village at the foot of Fulong Mountain to mine iron ore, and immediately sent Deshun to contact Wang Keyu, the iron smelter in Yangcheng, with a letter from Mr. Zhi Ye Chengyan.

Wang Keyu was very satisfied with seeing the iron ore samples, so he signed the contract with great joy and paid the deposit.

In this way, the first transaction was signed, and when Deshun rushed back to Fulong Mountain with the contract, Shang Wuyang was very happy.

This is also the official opening of the iron mine. It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and he is in a good mood, so he went straight to Lanlin Garden to announce the good news to his mother, Mrs. Shang Qi.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a burst of joyful laughter from my mother and Su Qinger. What is so happy?Shang Wuyang couldn't help speeding up his pace.

The bedroom door was wide open, and at a glance, he saw his mother amusing her infant granddaughter, no wonder she was smiling so happily.

Seeing Shang Wuyang coming, Mrs. Shang Qi hurriedly greeted her: "Yang'er is here, come and have a look, Nuan'er loves to smile more and more."

Miao Jue committed suicide before he was born, leaving behind this poor baby girl, which made Mrs. Shang Qi feel even more sorry for this motherless child. Originally, because of Miao He, she always had a knot in her heart. The two girls are already dead, and one was killed by Xiao Han, and the other committed suicide, neither of which was done by Shang Wuyang, the knot in his heart has been cleared, and he loves this child more and more.

However, whenever he sees this child, Shang Wuyang always thinks of her unbelievable mother, so he seldom visits his daughter.

One day, Mrs. Shang Qi asked Shang Wuyang to name the child. At that time, Shang Wuyang was immersed in the sadness of Jing'er's parting. After thinking about it, he said casually: "Then let's call it Tiansi."

"Tiansi?" Mrs. Shang Qi asked, "Is there a source?"

Shang Wuyang said nothing, turned and left.Although he looked calm, the faint sadness in his eyes still did not escape the eyes of his mother, Mrs. Shang Qi.

Looking at his lonely figure when he left, Mrs. Shang Qi's eyes were worried, and she murmured: "When the world is boundless, there is only endless love. You want to miss her every day..."

Man Luo persuaded: "After all, it's a couple, it's reasonable for the young master to miss Miao Jue, so don't be too sad."

Mrs. Shang Qi was silent, no one knew her son like her mother, and she was the only one who knew who the "she" in her son's heart was referring to. However, in front of Man Luo, she didn't want to tell the truth.

Afterwards Mrs. Shang Qi chose a small character for the child, calling it "Nuan'er". As the name suggests, she hoped that this "little padded jacket" could warm Shang Wuyang's broken heart.

……

Nuan'er's chubby little face was like a ripe apple, her big eyes stared straight at Shang Wuyang, her small mouth moved, as if she wanted to talk to him, suddenly the corners of her mouth turned up, and she smiled at him When he got up, the small toothless mouth let out a "giggle" laugh, Shang Wuyang's heart suddenly softened, his eyes softened a lot, and he said in his mouth:

"This child is older."

Mrs. Shang Qi was very happy, and said: "Isn't that right, this child, Jian Fengchang, if you don't see her for a few days, you might not recognize her."

Shang Wuyang slapped his throat with an "um" and stopped talking.

Mrs. Shang Qi said again: "Why are you free to come here today?"

Shang Wuyang sat down at the table, "Deshun is back."

"Back? So soon?"

After saying that, Mrs. Shang Qi handed the child to Su Qing'er, and said, "Send it to the wet nurse."

Instead, ask him: "How is it? It's settled?"

Shang Wuyang nodded and said: "It's done."

Mrs. Shang Qi nodded and said, "That's very good. Now our army needs weapons. When we have money, we can recruit soldiers and buy horses again, so we can regain our momentum. Have you got the deposit back?"

"2000 taels."

"Yo, I didn't expect Boss Wang to be so generous. I have to thank General Xiao for this."

Mrs. Shang Qi smiled and said: "It is our blessing, Xiao Yuntian's blessing, to have General Xiao as the backing. We only earn what we should earn, and we can't take any more. Iron ore is a controlled ore. We You have to follow the rules."

Shang Wuyang nodded his head and said: "Yes, son, remember."

……

Five days later, Shang Wuyang's first batch of iron ore began to be transported down the mountain. It was inconvenient to go down the mountain, and they were all carried manually. There were a few carriages parked at the foot of the mountain, and the back of the carriage was converted into a large box.

After working for half a day, all ten carriages were filled.For the first time transporting iron ore, Deshun personally led fifty guards and slowly marched towards Yangcheng.

Yangcheng is relatively close to Fulong Mountain, and it can be reached by horseback in half a day at most. If the cargo towed by the horse cart is heavy, it can be delivered within a day.

Looking at the tired and panting miners, Gao Liang couldn't bear it: "Young master, this is not acceptable. It's too slow to transport down the mountain like this, and the miners are working too hard."

Shang Wuyang also saw the clumsiness and disadvantages of purely manual operation, and said: "It is necessary to find a way to send these ores down the mountain as quickly as possible, and not let the brothers work so hard."

Gao Liang sighed, and blurted out: "It would be great if Miss Jing'er was here, she will definitely think of a good way..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt startled, shut his mouth quickly, and glanced at Shang Wuyang secretly, seeing that he was thoughtful, he didn't seem to care that he slipped his mouth, curled his lips silently, secretly congratulating himself Discovered early.

Shang Wuyang had already heard his words all over his ears, but he felt that what he said was not unreasonable, so he took a deep breath and said: "Jing'er is unparalleled, it's a pity..."

"Young master, what's the pity?" Gao Liang asked cautiously.

Shang Wuyang groaned for a while, then suddenly said: "I think it is possible to throw two ropes down the mountain, make a few boxes filled with ore, and slide down along the ropes?"

Gao Liang's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "Good idea."

"What's good?" Shang Wuyang stared at him, and reprimanded in a low voice: "If you don't move your mind, you will follow suit. I have a good idea. Then go and get me a design drawing to see how to do it, what? Is the rope strong enough to withstand such a heavy force?"

Gao Liang raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said vaguely, "Me? How can I draw any pictures?"

Shang Wuyang glared at him, then slowly picked up the brush, staring at the white paper with his eyes, thought for a long time, then put down the pen, thought for a while, picked up the brush again, repeated many times, finally dropped the brush, Impatiently said:

"Me neither." After saying that, he got up and left.

Gao Liang followed behind and asked, "Young master, where are you going..."

Shang Wuyang didn't answer, went straight out of the courtyard gate, and walked towards the mountain with brisk strides.

After spring, the forests that were burned in the war have sprouted new shoots, and the land burned by pine oil and artillery has become green again. Today, Fulong Mountain is lush and full of trees. Excellent view of weak willows and Fufeng.

Shang Wuyang walked to a small soil slope next to the front mountain, which is also the place where Jing'er had been before going down the mountain. He stood here, looking down the mountain, recalling the scene when Jing'er left, the deep Deep thoughts linger in my heart again.

Gao Liang didn't dare to get close, but only looked at his young master from a distance, raised his hand and slapped himself lightly, and scolded himself in a low voice: "You should slap, who told you that you have to mention Miss Jing'er."

Shang Wuyang came down from the small slope, walked into the forest and looked carefully, those traps that were once full of enemy corpses had been cleaned up again, you can't walk around on the mountain here, if you accidentally fall into the trap, you may lose your life.People in Xiaoyuntian have a small path up and down the mountain. Although this path is narrow, the slope in front of the mountain is relatively gentle, so it is very easy to walk.Although the uphill route of the back mountain is short, it is slightly steeper than the front mountain.

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and left.

Gao Liang secretly wondered, is the young master a demon?Where is this going?He was worried, and followed his footsteps closely. The young master walked and walked, and the young master stopped and stopped.

All the way to the place where the meteorite is located in the mountain stream of the back mountain, here, the blacksmiths are still busy with their big hammers, clanging.Xiao Zizhan once asked him to forge more cannons in case of emergencies.

Due to the high wages paid by Shang Wuyang, several master blacksmiths were diligent and diligent, and they all planned to work for another two months to earn more money and then take turns to go home and have a look.This will neither delay work nor delay making money.

Shang Wuyang found a master blacksmith and told him about his idea of ​​quickly transporting ore. Unexpectedly, the master blacksmith really gave a good suggestion, that is, to make a flat road from the mining mountain to the front mountain and then to the bottom of the mountain. On the mountain road, lay logs, tie a small box full of iron ore with a rope, and then install a roller on the mountain and at the bottom of the mountain, and put the small box on it, which can be pushed or pulled. When going down the mountain, the box has Rope, let the rope down slowly so that the little box can slide down the hill along the log.

The master blacksmith also promised to make the roller out as soon as possible.In this way, the problem of ore transportation and going down the mountain is temporarily solved.

Shang Wuyang asked: "Did you make the sword that I asked you to follow from my Panlong dagger?"

The master blacksmith laughed loudly: "I just finished it last night. I thought I'd finish my work and send it to you later. Since you're here, I'll go and show you."

He turned around and went to the inner warehouse to take out an object wrapped in red cloth and handed it over.

Shang Wuyang took it, untied the red cloth, and suddenly a bunch of dazzling gold jumped into his eyes, and an exquisite sword was perfectly presented in front of him: this is a scabbard made of pure gold, and a five-clawed golden dragon with extremely exquisite workmanship. Coiled on it, a red gem the size of a quail egg is facing the dragon's mouth, decorated with turquoise, and the handle of the knife is also wrapped with a golden dragon, decorated with rubies.Holding the hilt of the sword and gently pulling it out halfway, the silver blade flashed a cold and murderous look.

He pulled out a strand of hair, waved it lightly, the strand of hair fell down, and broke into two pieces when he lightly touched the blade, it was indeed extremely sharp.I pushed the blade to the scabbard lightly, but I heard a crisp "click" sound, no matter in terms of material, craftsmanship, or luxury, it is definitely the best.

That day Xiao Luzi asked someone to bring him a message. The emperor asked Zhou Gonggong to tell Jing'er that he also wanted a sword that could cut iron like mud. Jing'er had to accept it, and Jing'er was not on the mountain. It fell on Shang Wuyang.

Forging a sword for the emperor is not a trivial matter. After repeated consideration, Shang Wuyang finally remembered the dagger bestowed by his father, so he tried to ask craftsmen to forge a long sword like this dagger. I never thought that the craftsmanship of several craftsmen was so high that they really made such a sword that can be called a treasure in the world.

The blacksmith master smiled and asked: "Young Master, how is it? The sharpness of this sword can be compared with your Liuyun. Does this treasure still suit your heart?"

Shang Wuyang was expressionless, but his handsome eyes shone with amazement, and he said calmly: "It's really good, thanks for the hard work, masters, and the salary will be increased by [-]% in the future."

Hearing this, the blacksmith was overjoyed, and quickly greeted the other blacksmiths and master craftsmen: "Brothers, stop for a while, stop for a while, the young master has raised our salary again, come and thank the young master what."

The masters were even more joyful, and hurriedly got up and cupped their fists to express their thanks.

……

Shang Wuyang walked slowly with a long sword in his hand, suddenly his heart lit up, such a precious treasure, naturally he should deliver it to the entruster himself, so as to fulfill his mission, thinking of this, he was instantly happy.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, turned around abruptly, and his face became serious in an instant.

Gao Liang, who had been following far behind, suddenly had a heartbeat that slowed down a beat, and now he didn't even have time to hide, so he could only meet his gaze, grinning awkwardly, and walked towards him slowly.

Grinning foolishly, he smiled and waved at Shang Wuyang, saying: "Young Master, what a coincidence, we met again."

Shang Wuyang looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "It's a coincidence, you have followed me all the way, can't it be a 'coincidence'."

Hearing that he exposed himself, Gao Liang smiled "hehe", scratched his head, and said, "I, I am, I just don't worry."

"On my own mountain, why worry about it?"

"Wow! This, this sword is so beautiful..."

Gao Liang stared at the long sword in Shang Wuyang's hand, stunned, and murmured: "Young master, this, this is the sword you made for the old emperor, right? Why does it look so familiar? It seems, it seems to be similar to yours. The imperial dagger is exactly the same."

Shang Wuyang wrapped the sword with red silk and said: "Tomorrow I will go down the mountain."

"Is the young master going to Xiangzhou?" Gao Liang blurted out.It seems that he knows Shang Wuyang too well.

Shang Wuyang glared at him, and left with his sword in hand.Gao Liang chased after him and chattered endlessly:

"Young master, if you want to go, take me with you. I will wait on you, and I will never hold you back. Think about it, you can't go out alone. It's not safe, but if you bring A group of people is too ostentatious, right? Then just take me, Gao Liang, and just the two of us go together. You have a caretaker on the way, and I, Gao Liang, will go out with you, young master... "

Shang Wuyang stopped suddenly, before Gao Liang could stop, he bumped into his back.

Shang Wuyang turned around to look at him, eyes full of confusion, and asked: "Gao Liang, you followed me all the way, and now you want to go down the mountain with me, so just say it, what exactly do you want?"

Hearing his question, Gao Liang smirked awkwardly "hehe" twice, and said, "Young master, if you go out, take me with you, if you don't go out for a walk, Gao Liang will almost be bored to death."

Shang Wuyang said indifferently: "Well, if it gets moldy, just hang yourself on a tree to dry for a few days. The most indispensable thing on Fulong Mountain is a big tree with a crooked neck."

Gao Liang said: "To tell you the truth, I have a premonition today. You are thinking about going down the mountain, and you want to go to Xiangzhou. Young master, nothing else. Gao Liang, I just want to go out and do some activities. Do you think so?" , you take Lao Geng with you wherever you go to war, even to the border. Now Deshun is also running business for you, only I am on this mountain all day, this time the young master is going down the mountain, you take me with you Well, anyway, Xiangzhou is not far away, if you don’t go there for a few days, don’t delay things.”

"Oh, you can't stay on the mountain anymore, so you should have said it earlier, what are you doing with such a fuss?" Shang Wuyang glared at him, and said as he walked, "No hurry, wait for Deshun to send you off." Let’s talk about it after we get the goods and go back to the mountain.”

Gao Liang responded readily: "Okay, young master, as long as you promise to take me out, it's fine. In fact, Gao Liang misses Miss Jing'er a lot..."

"To shut up!"

"Young master, I didn't mean that. I know that Miss Jing'er is your adopted sister now, so there is nothing wrong with you going to see her adopted sister..."

"To shut up!"

"Actually, I also miss Mr. Wu and Mr. Xiao, as well as Xuelian, Yuchan, Yuxin..."

"Gao Liang, you talk a lot."

"Little Lord……"

Shang Wuyang strode forward, Gao Liang followed behind and chattered non-stop, Shang Wuyang looked as cold as frost, but his heart was as excited as Gao Liang wanted to go down the mountain, and he thought: Now I It coincides with your thoughts, giving the sword, watching the righteous sister, watching Mr. Xiao and Mr. Wu, it is not easy to find a suitable reason for yourself...
