Chapter 168: Gold mining

The first year of Yunzhong, at the end of December, Yunzhong Island, gold mine.

There are barracks all over, and soldiers led by the five poisonous soldiers are deployed layer by layer, enclosing the vicinity of the golden veins into iron barrels.

According to external accounts, it is Qin Feiyu who wants to train a "Dragon Snake Elite Soldier" and needs to be camped in the mountains. In fact, training the Dragon Snake Elite Soldier is only incidental. The real purpose is to mine gold and try to make this news as much as possible. Blocked.

Although the golden veins had long been ascertained, Duan Yu was very forbearing. He waited until the recruits were trained and a group of slave goldsmiths accumulated in his hands, and even when he brought the power of killing the demon kun to shock the entire island. Start the gold mining strategy.

In this mining, Qin Feiyu was used as the guard, and the chief engineer, Izumi Musashi, was the supervisor. Because of the preparations, everything was in order.

When Duan Yu came to inspect, he saw a large number of slaves working in the mine, and some more obedient ones were assigned to more relaxed and delicate work, picking up golden sand in the water.

This kind of water gold mining method has been in existence since ancient times: "The water gold. It is all in the river, sand and water, and it is scoured for gold."

In addition, the bulk is in the mine.

The slaves who were used to doing things in the quarry struggled to excavate gold-bearing ores and made them into powder through continuous smashing.

"...Every time you get the ore, there is no limit to how much it is, all pounded into powder, soaked in water, ground into fine powder, and stored in a wooden bucket for soaking. Stir it with bayberry bark several times, the stone powder floats and the gold powder sinks... and Eliminate and eliminate, promote and remove the rough, and retain the elite."

This is to use the difference in buoyancy of various minerals to select real minerals.

Immediately, the accumulation of real ore is the rich ore of gold, also called "mineral meat".

After that, it was the turn of the trained blacksmiths to come out and smelt the ore meat in a small charcoal fire furnace. After the impurities were eliminated for the second time, they were poured into the mold to become the finished gold nugget and gold cake.

Needless to say, the process of excavating ore and pounding into powder is very labor-intensive, and it is all those slaves who do it.

As for the blacksmith who pans for gold and melts gold, his work is easy and his treatment is good, but his personal freedom must be restricted and he cannot go out of the mining area, especially for slaves.

The soldiers on the periphery have long been given strict orders, but anyone who flees, regardless of the blacksmith slaves, will be killed!

Moreover, this place was originally located in an isolated island, and the only port was Yuncheng. Even if they escaped, there was nowhere to run!

Of course, Duan Yu knows that the temptation of gold is infinite, and the greed of the human heart is also infinite. Any perfect system needs to be implemented by humans. There are flaws in this.

One day, the news that Yunzhong Island has golden veins will leak out, attracting many covets.

His approach at this time is to delay the leak as much as possible so that more gold mines can be mined and become his own strength to deal with challenges from all sides.

"Lord, look!"

At this time, Izumi Musashi and Qin Feiyu came together, holding the smelted gold pancakes: "With this gold mine, my domain will surely usher in tremendous development!"

"Yes, Musashi Izumi, in your opinion, how much gold can this gold vein collect in a year?"

Duan Yu asked.

"If the old man expected it well, there should be thirty or forty thousand taels a year!" Izumi Musashi replied affirmatively.

"In this way, it is three hundred to four hundred thousand taels of silver... enough to support the shogunate to buy slaves and reclaim the island in the cloud!" Duan Yu laughed.

It is impossible for Yunzhong Island to rely solely on gold mines for food. Reclamation and farming will always yield some output.

Not to mention, there are caravans being formed.

According to Duan Yu's vision, this caravan will have large ships of sharks and monsters in the future, and its safety is second to none in the East China Sea. This alone can make huge profits, and even after the gold mines are mined, it will strongly support the economy of Yunzhong Island.

Moreover, even the caravan is just a sideline.

When Yunzhong Island is completely reclaimed and the infrastructure is completed, the returns will be very impressive. Although the infrastructure is a large investment and slow output, once it starts to make profits, it will continue to flow, with great stamina, and very little loss.

‘Even so, with cash, you can still do a lot of things, such as...you can contact slave traders everywhere and ask them to deliver goods to your door and come directly to Yunzhong Island! ’

‘After all, I can’t just be a slave to Izumo, or would I really become a great name for Izumo? The introduction of population from the mainland, Haisong, and even other places is indispensable...’

On the way back, Duan Yu thought of a somewhat tangled thing.

Although those slave traders would be happy to transport some slaves to Yunzhongdao as long as they had cash, they probably couldn't compare with the large supply and supply of Izumo country, and it could only be regarded as a slight dilution.

It was immediately decided in my heart that the school must focus on promoting the mainland language and script.

Although it cannot be eliminated in the flesh, it can be the same language and the same text in the spirit.

After a few generations, the original origin and pedigree of the immigrants will be downplayed, so that they will become true people in the cloud!

...

In Yunzhongfu.

Duan Yu was sitting in danger, while Guo Bairen and Cangcao's master Yang Weiping stood under the steps: "Enlighten the Lord, that demon kun has been processed, and a total of 4,200 pieces of meat, 500 bundles of leather, grease..."

"Very good, all of them are stored in the warehouse. Also, the meat of the demon kun is not only delicious, but also can replenish vitality and blood. Remember to replenish Wei Zheng every day... Although it is midwinter at this time, you must also pay attention to preservatives. Others can be stored in an ice warehouse!"

The ice bank can only be enjoyed by the real nobles. It is stored in winter and ice is used in summer. In the Qing Dynasty, it is the generation of Jane who can get the ice from the royal family every summer, which is regarded as a matter of great face.

Although this project was time-consuming and laborious, there were a group of serfs who did not have to pay for it. Naturally, they had to make full use of it within three years.

Moreover, due to the extraordinary power of this world, building an ice store is not as laborious and costly as other worlds.

These demon kun meat are precious, Duan Yu also pointed out that they can be used to train elite soldiers.

I have decided in my mind that apart from the supply of most of the military supplies, the others, that is, following their subordinates, can share some profits.

Training troops requires at least one foundation before they can practice on the battlefield.

And how to develop the foundation? Naturally, it is piled up through various resources, especially food.

Just look at Chen Ce, the governor of Yezhou, who had only a hundred gluttonous battalions under him, and you can know how terrifying the resources needed in this regard.

Duan Yu wouldn't dare to explode the idea of ​​a good soldier if he had not harvested a demon kun.

Even so, I just plan to stop after training for two hundred, and I can't hold it any more.

'The elite training method in my hand is just a five-poison elite soldier and a dragon-snake elite soldier. It just happens that the flying fish is unwilling to change the technique, so let him lead the dragon-snake elite. I can temporarily Directed. ’

Although he was at ease with Qin Feiyu, Duan Yu still tried his best to avoid this kind of military power being centralized in one person and not under the hands of the monarch.

This is also a consideration for the future.

After all, their generation may be intimate, but it is difficult to tell for future generations.

"The new year is approaching. This is the first year that my cloud shogunate ruled Yunzhongdao. The order will be passed down, and the New Year's Eve banquet! The shogunate officials will give you five catties of demon meat, and each of the leaders will give you fifty catties! As far as leading each household, The commoner serfs will give ordinary meat and wine, and the slaves will give them a meal too. It must be a fat year..."

Duan Yu stretched.

"The Lord is kind!"

Guo Bairen hurriedly bowed, indicating that he had taken note.

Duan Yu's jaws led the two to step back, and immediately walked out of the mansion and strolled around Yuncheng.

According to his original plan, this city can live in tens of thousands of people. At this time, it looks very empty, and there are only a few places that are somewhat popular, but next year it should be much better.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the dock dock.

Liu Guangji was busy here. Although the shipbuilding matter was just the beginning, Duan Yu had already given him a bunch of tasks.

Specifically, it is to transform the old ships first, just to give all the previous ships an inspection and maintenance.

In fact, it is repairing, scraping off the parasitic seaweed shells on the bottom of the boat.

In addition, they used the demon kun materials that they had on hand to transform several ships-to put it bluntly, it was just a collision angle, or even ballast.

Anyway, what I have to borrow is the power of the demon kun, and this stupid method is also effective.

But of course Liu Guangji is not willing to do this. If it is only so, how can he show how good he is as a shipbuilder?

Therefore, during this period of time, I have been thinking about it, hoping to perfectly integrate the bones of the demon kun with the ship. Specifically, it is to use the least materials to spread the breath of the demon kun all over the boat, resulting in the effect of retreating the demon.

"Although this kind of ship can't avoid the powerful monsters, or the monsters whose intelligence is comparable to that of humans, but with the help of the mackerel clan, you can find and escape in advance, so there is still no problem in running the East China Sea..."

'Now that the gold has been prepared, the monsters have been removed, and the ships have been prepared, the originally dangerous sea and sky has become a thoroughfare... Starting next year, the entire island will have to usher in a major development, and strive to reclaim the entire island within three years to achieve great governance. ……The seal can be officially opened! ’

Duan Yu thought silently.

He has always remembered the matter of awarding meritorious ministers~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he had formulated a three-year plan long ago, and received the heartfelt support and understanding of Yigan.

After all, there is only one Yuncheng in Yunzhong Island at this time, and Duan Yu's own mansion cannot be sealed off.

But now it is divided, and only wasteland is obtained, but in the future it will arrange farmland and the people.

Duan Yu didn't mind getting rid of some baggage if he couldn't wait.

"The three-year plan, one year has passed at this time! In the remaining two years, at least one national law general chapter has to be worked out..."

Duan Yu looked at the sea, silently thinking.

These vassals are only courtiers, and they can only start a country unless they get the title of Lord Lord.

Prior to this, all exchanges with foreign countries, and even military affairs, must be obeyed by their own monarch, and finally, currency, language and writing, etc., must also be consistent. These will be written into the State Law together with the enfeoffment system. In the chapter, the general status of the constitution is formed.

As for the others, Duan Yu didn't want to restrict too much.
