The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

The mineral resources buried under the Nanling Mountains are very rich. Xia Jing read the information in the end of the world, and there are more than 110 kinds of minerals that have been mined, of which more than 70 kinds have amazing reserves.

Among them, the reserves of tungsten and bismuth rank first in the world, and the reserves of tin, zinc, gold, silver, iron, and copper are not low. It was once known as a non-ferrous metal museum, which shows how rich its mineral resources are.

Therefore, Li Dingguo, the bandit leader who surrendered to Jigongshan, offered an iron mine, and she didn't feel much surprise or surprise.

As long as she sends people, she will have the opportunity to find out several mines.

Just like King Qian, he sent people to explore two mines in the Nanling Mountains, one iron mine and the other copper mine.

I don't know if it's because of his good luck or because of the rich mineral resources in the Nanling Mountains.

Let's talk about a mine near Jigong Mountain.

This iron mine was originally dedicated to Xia Jing by Li Dingguo.

Most of the people who mine here are captives, and a few are guards and managers.

Speaking of the captives, they were all bandits, and they were captured by Xia Jing's personal guards to dig mines.

Among the black-haired and yellow-skinned captives, a few captives with red hair and blue eyes stood out from the crowd.

It's just that their white skin can no longer be seen because of mining in the mine.

Locke, who was covered in dirt, staggered along with the team with a basket of ore on his back, and transported the ore from the cave to the designated place.

The people who were sent in with him were exhausted like dogs, and they had long lost the vigor they had on the sailboat.

After transporting the ore to the designated wooden shed, Locke breathed a sigh of relief, and finally persisted this trip without being whipped.

Although I didn't get whipped this trip, but the skin on my shoulders was worn out, and with the sweat, my shoulders were burning with pain.

There was a quarter of an hour for lunch, and a few Xiyi people would naturally gather together at this time.

"Lock, we've been here for a while, why hasn't the Governor discovered that we're missing?"

"I don't know when the governor will come to rescue us. This place is really not a place for people to live. I don't know how long I can last?"

"Your Excellency Governor is wise and powerful. He must know that we are missing now, and he will soon track down the place where we disappeared. Knowing that Dayu people robbed us, he will definitely lead the fleet to threaten Dayu, so that Dayu has no choice but to release us. At that time, I will definitely file an application with the governor, asking Dayu people to compensate us for our losses!" Locke gave everyone confidence, and I was really afraid that everyone would lose confidence and lose the courage to live.

His companion took a sip of the porridge that could illuminate people clearly, and sighed: "I don't know if I can wait for that day. In the past, we took many captives to go to mines, and we didn't realize that the lives of miners Sad, why is it so difficult to experience it yourself?"

"Do you think this is God's punishment for us, punishing us to suffer and suffer?"

A black-faced pancake the size of a fist and a bowl of gruel are the Chinese food of these captives. For men engaged in physical labor, this food is not enough to fill their stomachs.

Just after lunch and before going down to the mine, these people were hungry again.

It takes several hours to stay hungry like this, and it won't get another black pancake and a bowl of gruel until it gets dark.

The high-intensity physical labor, coupled with lack of food and lack of physical strength, drove these Xiyi people almost crazy!
I really want to escape from this mountainous area under the cover of darkness, but without foreign aid, how could these weak foreigners escape?

Escaping and being unable to escape, repeating the same physical labor every day, every day a few Xiyi people feel more hopeless.

In desperation, on this day, Locke broke out completely. He rushed to the captain of the guard who was guarding them with all his courage, clamoring to see the master behind them, and they applied for repatriation.

It’s just that he hasn’t been in Dayu for a short time, and most of the people speak in dialect. Poor Locke sternly babbled a lot, but the guards who guarded him didn’t understand a sentence, and thought he was something Yi took the lead in making trouble, and chopped down with his back.

Locke lay on the ground, almost breathless in pain.

This time, although there was no blood on his back, it was definitely bruised.

And Xia Jing, the owner of the mine that Locke missed, had long forgotten about the Xiyi people.

However, although Xia Jing had forgotten about the Xiyi people, her next plan had something to do with them.

After the busy farming season, all cleared fields are planted with crops.

The cement plant is also on the right track.

Xia Jing put all her energy into the iron workshop. As a psychic, her learning ability and memory are surprisingly strong.

Among the materials collected in the last days in the space, there are many books, and Xia Jing will look through them when she has nothing to do.

After the steel was smelted, she dug out from her memory the hot weapons that craftsmen could make in this era, selected the blueprints of flintlock guns and red cannons, and let the craftsmen try to make them.

Facts have proved that the craftsmen have done a great job on the two thermal weapons with low technological content.

After the finished product was tested, Xia Jing asked the craftsmen to consider how to mass produce it, to see which parts could be assembled, and the precise parts would be handed over to skilled craftsmen.

It would not be long before Li Chengmu's 1000 soldiers and his own -plus guards should be equipped.

This is the world's top equipment. Last time, the flintlock gun that Li Chengmu got from the Xiyi people was rough in workmanship, but it was not as exquisite as her design, nor as far away as hers, and it was not as convenient as hers to reload ammunition.

More than 100 people on a sailing ship are equipped with a flintlock gun. It can be seen that the Xiyi people do not have many firearms. It is possible that the Xiyi people have just produced flintlock guns not long ago, and they have not yet been mass-produced, which makes them unable to equip the entire team.

Xia Jing's analysis is just a conjecture, and it cannot be verified now.

Therefore, Xia Jing put her mind on the north of the city again.

In the north of the city, the location of the central axis is the location of the new government office. At this time, the craftsmen in this area are in full swing. With cement, a cross-age adhesive, laying the foundation is more than twice as fast as the usual method.

Xia Jing thought that the new government office in the north of the city was already under construction, so she had to come up with a good plan for the other wastelands that belonged to her.

Do it when you think of it.

In the past two days, Hongmei found that the princess did not go out again, and was busy in the study all day long, which attracted the attention of the other rooms, and when she sent someone to inquire, she calmly stopped her.

After Xia Jing was busy that day, she asked Hongmei to send someone to the outer courtyard to call Ye Fei.

"Princess, do you have something to do with your subordinates?"

Xia Jingchao beckoned, then picked up the plan on the table and handed it to him, "Recently, I feel that my subordinates are understaffed, and there are too few capable subordinates like you. This time, you will be in charge of the Chengbei plan temporarily. Take it back and have a look, and ask me if there is anything you don’t understand.”

Ye Fei took the plan, hesitated for a while, and said, "If my subordinates take over this matter, they won't be able to protect you all the time. What about your safety?"

Xia Jing listened to Da Le: "Don't worry about it. Your squadron has 100 people to protect me, which is enough. You can rest assured to complete the task I entrusted to you."

Talent!
Xia Jing is in urgent need of talents from all walks of life.

It is precisely because of the lack of available people that he had to send his own guard captain to the task.

However, after getting along with Ye Fei during this time, this kid is capable and smart enough, she believes that he can handle this task well.

Ye Fei flipped through the plan roughly, and although he didn't read it carefully, he couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue, "Are you sure the plan is okay, if the house and storefront are not completed, is there anyone willing to pay for it?"

Buying a home is a big deal in the eyes of people nowadays. If you can't see the building, will you spend a lot of money?

Xia Jing didn't think there was a problem with this plan. If it wasn't for her insufficient funds, how could she push the business of laying golden eggs outside?

"If you do a good job of publicity in the early stage, there will be no problems. Don't forget, the new government office under construction in the north of the city is driven by the government. Believe in yourself, you can successfully complete the task."

Ye Fei scratched his head and replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"

After a few days, everyone in the teahouses and restaurants in Fucheng was talking about one thing, and that was Huaxia Real Estate Firm.

It is said that this firm is going to build the north of the city and build a business district in the north of the city.

The most controversial thing is that the houses in this commercial area are at least three storeys, and most of them will be four storeys and five storeys high.

This gimmick attracted everyone's attention.

In the age when clay and lime were used as adhesives, it was obviously impossible to build a house with a height of four or five floors. Unless it was a palace, it was still possible to build it entirely with precious and strong wood.

But if this is the case, the construction cost will remain high. Moreover, the maintenance of this kind of house is a very important issue. If it is not done well, the wooden pillars may rot in ten years.

Then a question arises, how much is Huaxia Real Estate Trading Co., Ltd. going to sell for a shop?
If the price is unreasonable or not cost-effective, then the common people and dignitaries may not pay for it.

In this regard, teahouses and restaurants have a lot of discussions, with mixed reviews.

"Is this reliable? A four- or five-story building is really not afraid of wood decay in a few years? Will someone buy such an unreliable house and shop?"

"In our south of the Five Ridges, there is a lot of rain, especially in the late summer and early autumn. When the typhoon hits, the foundation of the wooden building may be soaked in water. If it is ruined for several years, it will be troublesome if such a tall building breaks from the foundation."

"You're right. I'm even more skeptical that the shops built in the north of the city really have room for appreciation?"

"The nobles and rich people are concentrated in the east and west of the city. I really don't know why Huaxia Commercial Bank doesn't go to the east and west of the city to build buildings?"

"There is no room for Huaxia Commercial Bank to build in these two directions."

After all, some smart people have different considerations, "The shops in several streets in the city have been divided up by the major forces. The major forces should not like the construction of this shop in the north of the city. You say we will Do you want to scrape together some money to buy a smaller shop?"

Although he asked this question on his lips, he actually had a plan in his heart.

A few days later, people settled in the wasteland in the north of the city, and some people started construction on the original wasteland.

The people who were always paying attention to the north of the city were immediately shocked.

At this time, the common people were able to confirm that the Huaxia Real Estate Firm wanted to build Chengbei University.

Now the common people began to worry about the price of real estate in the north of the city again. Is it affordable for them?
Everyone is very concerned about this.

King Qian has also been paying attention to this matter.

No, today he heard that construction had started in the north of the city, so he came here.

"The princess is so courageous, she is ready to build half of the city at every turn, I am ashamed of your courage."

After hearing his sarcastic words, Xia Jing rolled his eyes at him, "Are you here to scold me for nothing?"

Anu, who was following behind, explained with a dead fish face: "Princess, the master is concerned about you, and he is afraid that your capital chain will be broken when the time comes, and it will not end well."

It’s okay if you don’t explain it, the more you explain it, the bigger the misunderstanding.

What is a bad ending?

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, and her words were a little blunt, "Don't make trouble for nothing, you can talk well if you have something to say, if you are still like this, be careful I won't give you face."

King Qian took a sip of tea and put the teacup heavily on the table, "You are so old, why can't you tell what you say? You spread such a big stall at once and build half a city. You know what you need How much silver?"

Leaving aside the construction of houses and shops, a large sum of money is required for basic construction.

Once the basic works are completed, the silver used to build houses and shops is temporarily immeasurable.

Xia Jing corrected: "What is half a city? It's a quarter. Since I started construction, I must have planned it back and forth, and all the problems you are worried about are not problems. Of course, I will definitely be responsible for my own affairs. , you don’t need to worry about these.”

King Qian still didn't believe that she could handle it by himself, so he asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

"In a few days, you will know."

King Qian was still worried, but he also knew that she didn't want to tell, and according to her stubborn temper, she wouldn't tell him no matter what.

This matter could not be resolved for the time being, he took a deep breath, and then talked about the situation of suppressing bandits.

"Bandits in the south of the Five Ridges are infested. Today, the king received news from the front that tens of thousands of people were scattered, and a small group of bandits fled upon hearing the news, allowing them to easily destroy the cottage.

But the more powerful bandits are a bit difficult to suppress. They don't pay attention to the king's soldiers and horses, and they will encounter these bandits everywhere they go.As a result, the king's soldiers and horses lost a lot.

For this situation, what good strategy does the princess have? "

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing was slightly stunned for a moment, admiring the old dude's cheekiness in her heart, it's really thick!
However, the two are now in a cooperative relationship. Regarding his question, she thought for a while and then gave two words, "Recruitment!"

"Recruitment?" King Qian thought about it carefully, the opinions of the two gentlemen were also to recruit, and now the opinion of the princess is still to recruit.

Since the opinions of the three people he trusted the most were to recruit security, it was necessary for him to seriously consider it.

Xia Jing nodded affirmatively: "At the end of the day, these bandits in Lingnan are just ordinary people. They were forced to go up the mountain because they couldn't survive. If they weren't criminals, recruiting security is actually the best way to deal with them. They can be dealt with. The bandits can strengthen our own strength, so why not do it?"

For example, the last time Li Chengmu suppressed bandits, many bandits who surrendered joined his team.

Of course, the heinous bandits and bandit capitals were sent to the mines, and only that suits them in the second half.
