Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: 420 Mineral Resources

The reaction of the people in the city of Humiliation was completely beyond Li Hong’s expectation. There was not even a resistance to the clamor. Walking on the streets of Humiliation City, which had been completely calm, the people in twos and threes were just in awe, far away. Looking at them, there was not even a glare in his eyes. ? Bayi Chinese W? W? W?. ?8㈧1㈧Ｚ?W㈧. ?ＣＯＭ

This has to make Li Hong curious, do they, who are closer to the royal city, have no sense of belonging to Goguryeo? How could one be so kind?

Walk to several blacksmith shops and wine shops, and even sit inside to buy wine and drink, no one resists you, no matter if you are wearing the costumes of a soldier of the Tang Dynasty or armor, no one treats you as an outsider. .

The currency used here is naturally the same as that of Datang, but it is mainly based on the old money Kaiyuan Tongbao. Most of the new money has become the collection of wealthy people. Few people are willing to spend it. They all count on it. Let's talk about it after the old money is spent.

"This Liu Rengui is more anxious than I am. I left before dawn and didn't say goodbye to me. It's really rude." Li Hongda swaggered on the street, looking at the insult to the people in Yicheng. He said with his lips.

"Liu Rengui came here when it was dark. You haven't gotten up yet, so he didn't bother you. Let the slave and maid tell you that the military situation is urgent. Please don't blame your Highness." Hua Meng said next to him.

"Okay, it doesn't matter. Look at their Goguryeo barracks. The students from Hongwenkan who came with us are all ready?"

"Everything is ready, just wait for your order." Huameng is very strange. This brought several Hongwenguan students from Chang'an, and it was useless along the way. Everyone has no hands. Li, would never fight at all, and His Highness didn't know what to do with them.

Li Hong looked at Hua Meng's face full of doubts, and didn't bother to explain to him. Then I would know if I went to see it, and I had to find a few local blacksmiths.

Goguryeo's army is actually very mixed. There are both Goguryeo people and soldiers from ethnic groups such as Mohe, Xianbei, Mahan, and Fuyu. It can also be said to be a miscellaneous army.

And their weapons were naturally influenced by the Great Tang, and basically inherited the characteristics of the weapons of the Tang Dynasty. Although the quality is not as good as the weapons of the Tang Dynasty, there is not much difference in appearance.

Iron weapons are the main ones, but they are still full of bronze weapons. As for the armor of soldiers, they are far from comparable to those of Datang soldiers, and horse armors for war horses are even rarer. A group of war horses, that is, war horses above the guard, has the real horse armor draped on the horse god.

Looking at the broken copper and rotten iron, Li Hong has a more thorough understanding of the current situation of Goguryeo. Iron weapons can become the main weapons of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, precisely because the Korean Peninsula has mineral resources. Abundant, but only lacking the most primitive material of bituminous coal (coke) needed for steelmaking in this period.

People in the previous life know that although the country called North Korea is very poor, its mineral resources are extremely rich. Now Datang has carried out a large degree of coal mining, and most of them are related to Goguryeo. Compared with the anthracite, the quality is still a lot worse.

This is also the reason why Li Hong summoned the students from Hongwen Hall and agreed to Li Zhi’s proposal to call Liujing. Although gold reserves are not abundant, iron, copper and other non-ferrous metals can be provided to Datang. More wealth.

When I was talking with his Dragon Father in the camp that day, Li Hong thought about it. The war itself was actually a kind of plundering of resources in disguise. If I took down Goguryeo and didn’t do this kind of thing, I would always feel this. One trip to Goguryeo, like missing something.

When Li Zhi, under the protection of Liu Renyuan, entered the city of Humiliation in a mighty manner, His Royal Highness had already led two hundred guards and the students of Hongwenguan into the deep mountain forest early.

The natural environment of green mountains and green waters, as well as the cattle, sheep and horses between the hillsides, are still greedy for Li Hong who is resting. I can’t say that there are no good things in this poor mountain and bad water place. I seem to have preconceived notions. , It's really easy to get into a misunderstanding.

And the few Hongwenguan students, while eating at this time, are still chattering and discussing. From the minerals that are mined, they start to analyze that there will be more gold in those places, and how to mine it? How much manpower can be refined without being discovered by others.

Li Hong listened boredly for a long time, and said angrily: "This is already the territory of my Datang, who are you afraid of being discovered? The first is gold, copper, and iron, and then the second is here. Coal, do you see the sea? If you use water transportation, you can reach Dengzhou, Henan Province in less than two or three days, saving time, effort and money. The most important thing now is to step on these places. Point, if there are no major problems, you need to be stationed in Dengzhou and wait until everything is almost done before you can go back."

"Sir is it true?" A student with a skin color similar to Zhang Fei stood up and said.

Li Hong was not shocked, but Hai Dongqing Xiaoqing next to him was shocked, his wings half-opened, and the bird's eyes stared at the student coldly.

Li Hong threw away a piece of grass that he had bitten for a long time in his mouth, hehe smiled and said, "Naturally, it is true. If you are willing to stay and mine, then it is best. I can't ask for it. If I don't want to, I won't force it. . Once the battle is over, you can follow us back."

"What about these?" When another student heard that he was going back, he immediately held a stone in his arms and refined it. At least half a half of the gold was in his hands.

"Naturally stay here, so that those who are willing to stay, together with the other craftsmen of Datang, restore the gold to its bright color, and then transport it back to my Datang by water." Li Hong patiently explained to them Tao.

Hua Meng, who was next to him, felt that it was unnecessary, so he directly ordered them to stay. They really couldn't tell Shangguan Yi, and they didn't dare to violate it if they wanted to come.

Li Hong was too lazy to pay attention to Huameng's disdainful expression, and continued to ask with a smile: "From your point of view, how long will it take for the mine here to be fully built and to be able to mine smoothly?" /

"It will take about half a year, but as soon as this place enters winter, there is no way to work, sir, maybe this time next year." Hongwenguan students are still more willing to call Mr. Li Hongwei.

"Would you like to stay here until next year? Wait until the mine is completely able to mine smoothly before going back?" Li Hong asked with a faint smile, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves on his face, making him already The skin that is not white looks much fairer.

"Sir, we are willing to stay. But...student..."

"Just say what you have, what it looks like when hesitating." Hua Meng urged anxiously.

His Majesty has been in the city of Humiliation for two days, and his Royal Highness has not hurriedly traveled around the mountains and water. In his opinion, even the piles of gold are more important than the call of his majesty.

So, in order to let His Royal Highness return to the city of Humiliation as soon as possible, Hua Meng had to urge the students to say quickly.

"Why are you in a hurry? I'm not in a hurry. What are you rushing? Isn't it better if things are arranged here? Do you want me to come back and do it again?" Li Hong stared angrily. Meng.

"The servants dare not." Hua Meng was honest, and stood beside the cheetah on both sides, becoming two mummies.

"Go on, what are your concerns?" Li Hong smiled and motioned to the student to sit down and continue eating.

"Sir, the students are not afraid of death, they are just a little worried. If my Datang army is withdrawn, even if we mine the mines here, will it be cheaper for the people from Goguryeo? Guarantee that these things can be shipped back to my Datang?"

"Insulting Yi City will become our garrison base, protecting everything of my Datang in Goguryeo. As long as my Datang’s things are lost, even if a cow on the mine is lost, you can let that The king of Goguryeo doubled the compensation to us, so you have a little extra worry about these."

In order to allow these students who are more enlightened and enlightened than other Datang people to stay here willingly, Li Hong had to be patient and solve their doubts.

After all, if they feel uneasy and the mining volume of this mine is not up to the standard, it will be a waste of manpower and material resources, and it is even possible for the future between Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo. The winner made his wedding gown.

After hearing Li Hong’s words, a few students felt at ease. If the army of Datang is stationed in the city after insulting Yicheng, then this is the territory of Datang, and there is no question of whether it will be foreign What Yi took away.

So several students nodded unanimously: "Sir, the student is willing to stay and mine this mine~IndoMTL.com~ That's fine. Now I will leave you some soldiers to protect you from exploring minerals during this time. It’s safe. After a few days, more craftsmen and people will come over. Someone will help you to build this mine together. At that time, you will be the first batch of heroes." Li Hong got up and left. When I came to the students, I patted them on the shoulder with satisfaction, then hurried down the mountain and walked along the creek when they came and the road when they came and went.

The mountains are not high here, but there are many dense forests. If you want to avoid getting lost, the best way is to follow the stream all the way up, or all the way down, so that you can find it safely without having to distinguish the direction. The path to come.

A hundred soldiers and the students are left to continue searching for larger mineral deposits, and he needs to hurry to Humiliate City, otherwise, the Dragon Father who has been waiting for two days, I am afraid he should beat someone. Up.

And they are now far away from the city of Humiliation. I am afraid it will take several hours to rush back to the city of Humiliation as quickly as possible. When it comes to the city of Humiliation, it is time for the dead of night and everything to be silent.

The city of Humiliation has been completely controlled by the Tang army. In accordance with the requirements of the city defense forces, Hua Meng had to throw the token of His Royal Highness onto the tower. After the inspection was completed, the city gate opened slowly and walked in. .
