The sky in Jiaozhi is very blue.

After Jiang Xing woke up, he glanced outside and said with satisfaction: "It's really blue."

After washing up, breakfast is about it.

A large bowl of rice, and a large bowl of fish and vegetables.

This is Jiaozhi.

He was not used to eating rice. At first, he always felt that he was not full, so he gradually got used to it.

After breakfast, he left the door.

As soon as you go out, you can see a mountain range.

An official road extends from the side to the mountains.

"Ginger points!"

An official on the right came over, Jiang Xing nodded, "Go and go to the mine to take a look."

Everyone got on the horse and talked about the recent situation in the mine, while talking about the situation in the Central Plains.

"It was said that he was preparing for the Northern Expedition, and the momentum was huge and without any cover. At first, I thought it was not cautious, but later I realized that it was a scare of the Liao people. I started to scare from now on. When the Song Dynasty was in the Northern Expedition, their morale would not rise."

"Jiang Tidian, when will the Northern Expedition be?"

Jiang Xing thought for a while, "Autumn and winter are impossible, otherwise it will be muddy and difficult to fight once it rains. So we have to look at next year. I guess it will be spring. If it doesn't rain, the army will head north."

"Hey! If it can succeed, Da Song will be considered a turnaround."

"Yes! After getting the land of Youyan, the Song Dynasty was comparable to the Han and Tang dynasties."

"It's a long way to go! The territory was vast during the Han and Tang dynasties."

“…”

After a quarrel, the mine arrived.

Thousands of Jiaozhi prisoners have started construction under the supervision of the great Song sergeants.

In this era, mining is the only way to dig, but the speed is very slow.

An official said melancholy: "It's too slow. They said that the firearms in the army are powerful, and it would be great if they could be used to blow it up."

"The Northern Expedition is imminent, how can I get the gunpowder over? Besides, the gunpowder is said to be unable to blow up the mountains, and it is useless to use it."

Everyone stood on the high ground and looked for a while, and someone couldn't help asking, "Is there any mineral veins here?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Xing.

"It should be." Jiang Xing said with certainty: "The students of Mangshan Academy took the risk to enter Jiaozhi and found traces here. Shen Longtu confirmed that there were mineral veins here."

"Traces...but we didn't see them."

"If we can't dig it out for a year or two, wouldn't we have been in vain?"

"yes!"

Jiang Xing frowned and said, "This is the decision of the court, let's do it."

Everyone is going to work hard.

As the days passed by, the officials became more and more anxious.

"I still haven't seen any traces of the copper mine."

"In order to support them, more than a thousand prisoners, in order to support them, the food transported to the north by Guangnan West Road to support the Northern Expedition was intercepted. Jiang Xie pointed out that if it fails, let's just submit a memorial."

If this continues, the officials have no political achievements, which is considered empty. The key is that there are barren mountains and ridges, there is nothing, and they live a life like an ascetic.

Can't stand it anymore!

"I believe in Shen Long's picture!"

Jiang Xing suppressed the complaints from his subordinates.

The captives are still working hard.

Jiang Xing gradually adapted to rice and developed several types of food.

His favorite one is fried rice.

Boil the rice harder and cold for a few hours, then put it in the pot and stir-fry it with the eggs. The taste made him forget the pasta for the first time.

"Ginger points!"

He was making dinner at his residence. A colleague rushed in outside and said excitedly: "Baby, I found the baby."

"What baby?"

Jiang Xing was stir-fried eggs and fried rice.

The fried rice must be heated. Watching the rice grains jumping in the pot, the satisfaction is indescribable.

The official stomped his feet and pulled him away.

"What baby?"

"Say it's a gold nugget!"

Damn it!

Jiang Xing was overjoyed and got on his horse and headed to the mine.

He galloped all the way and finally trotted up the mountain.

A group of sergeants were on guard, with two corpses under their feet.

A general came over with a piece of golden thing, "Jiang, look."

This is a piece of natural gold. Jiang Xing took it and felt a heavy pressure pressing down. When he loosened his hands, the gold nugget fell down.

puff!

The general was stunned.

Someone didn't mean it!

Jiang Xing leaned over and picked up the gold nuggets and said, "I don't blame you."

He looked at the gold nuggets happily and said, "This means that the place has been found."

"dig!"

Jiang Xing said happily: "Chenlongtu is indeed a talented person. I will urge you to urge the place and get us another 500 people."

He said confidently: "I want to pile up Bianliang with copper ingots!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they thought of the scene where there were all copper ingots in Bianliang City.

This is a great achievement!

"There is a fire at the foot of the mountain!"

Everyone who was full of confidence ran to the side and saw that the station had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

grass!

Jiang Xing said angrily: "This must be done by the Jiaozhi Spy. Go and find them out and get them to the mine!"

Everyone nodded and praised: "Be smart, now that people are in urgent need of manpower here, that's what it should be."

"Go and catch people! Go!"

There are often companion gold in copper ores, and this discovery makes everyone happy. At this moment, they run all the way down the mountain, and they feel that the wind is coming from under their armpits is extremely comfortable.

Everyone was riding their horses at the foot of the mountain and rushed to the base, some soldiers were extinguishing the fire.

"Who set the fire?"

Jiang Xing dismounted and asked in anger.

A sergeant turned around and said, "Thank you, it was first burned from you."

"Do you want to burn someone to death?"

Jiang Xing felt that this was a conspiracy, and there was a conspiracy that wanted to kill him and disrupt the overall situation.

Then he thought of his own fried rice.

"Some egg fried rice!"

A pot of fried rice from eggs ruined the station, and that night a group of people were trembling in the night wind.

"There will be the day when the bitterness will end." Jiang Xing found that his morale was a little low, so he thought of the story of burning his boats, so he swears: "I vow that if I find a copper mine, I will take out my three-month salary to invite everyone to drink and eat meat."

Morale finally rose a little.

An familiar official came over and asked in a low voice: "Thank you, didn't your salary be given to the Hedong lion at home? Why are there any more?"

Jiang Xing said lightly: "This gold nugget was found in the ditch, which means it slipped down from it. I don't know how many years have passed. There must be such a copper mine, but if you want to find it, it will take two or three months, which is enough to save money."

"Give it a little clever."

But three days later, cheers came from the mountains.

"The copper mine was discovered!"

In an instant, no matter who it was, they flocked away.

The ore was carefully pulled down, and Jiang Xing looked at the thing affectionately, "Go and ask for people, take this ore to ask for people, as much as you want!"
