Traveling through ancient times: living a different life
Chapter 121 Discovery of a Large Iron Mine
After Han Shaoqing captured Heishan City, he rode a horse at full speed to deliver a report of victory to the capital, and also sent another letter to the military camp where General Zhu Jingtang was.
The entire Shangyou City is now in the hands of General Lin and General Wei, waiting for officials from the capital to take over. Heishan City is now temporarily managed by Han Shaoqing and his generals, who have begun to reorganize and investigate whether there are any potential dangers in the city.
Bi Yue assisted in clearing out Jingguo's spies. After a week, all the dangerous people were basically eliminated. She also posted notices to appease ordinary people and merchants in the city, hoping that everyone would behave themselves and that Changping Kingdom would treat everyone equally. Now the entire Heishan City is harmonious.
There are fifty to sixty thousand enemy soldiers temporarily detained in the military camp. Providing them with food and drink every day is not a long-term solution. We have to find a way to keep them busy.
Han Shaoqing personally told Bi Yue today how to accommodate so many prisoners of war and hoped that she could help think of a solution. He thought about this while lying in bed at night and chatted with the system about how to solve this problem properly.
"Host, let's go out for a walk tomorrow. When you asked me to help you scan the spies in Black Mountain City these days, I increased the scanning range a bit, and found that there seemed to be iron ore not far away. Now my scanning range is 500 miles, and the depth can detect 400 meters underground. It's a bit far away and not very accurate, so we will fly to that place tomorrow to take a look, and then confirm it."
"Really? It would be easy if we have iron ore. We can let the captured soldiers dig and then make iron."
Then I'll go out and take a look tomorrow. Thank you, system, you've done me a big favor again. I'll go to bed early.
The next morning at 5-6 am, Bi Yue got up, dressed neatly, and saw Xiao Mai and Chen Chun practicing martial arts in the yard. The two kids were quite hardworking. When they saw their daughter getting up, they asked, "Miss, you got up so early today, where are you going?"
"You guys practice martial arts, I'm going to go out and do something."
"Are you going alone? You can also take Chen Chen or Luo Chen with you."
Chen Chen was practicing in the next room. He was the Snake King and had very good hearing. When he heard their conversation, he immediately ended his practice and flew over from his yard using Qinggong.
Xiaomai ran to Luo Chen's yard and told him, "The young lady got up early today and prepared to go out. Do you want to go with her?"
Luo Chen heard Xiaomai's words and said, "Thank you, Xiaomai, for coming over to tell me."
There is no reason for me not to go. It would be a chance for me to be alone with Yue'er, so why not?
When Biyue saw Luo Chen and Chen Chen were both there, she said, "It's just right for the three of us to go together."
After saying that, he took out a box bigger than his palm from his treasure bag. When he opened the box, there were two little horses and a carriage inside.
Biyue tapped on the edge of the box, and the carriage in the box slowly grew larger in the yard, turning into two tall and beautiful white horses with a pair of wings on both sides of the horses. The carriage was also very gorgeous.
Luo Chen was no longer as curious as he was at first when he saw it, and said to them calmly, "Let me drive."
Biyue said, "No need to drive, he can walk by himself."
After the three of them sat on it, the horse slowly spread its wings and flew into the sky.
Bi Yue activated the protective shield and covered the carriage inside, so that people in the city would see a Pegasus carriage flying in the sky, which would scare them.
Luo Chen and Chen Chen looked at the magical carriage with sparkling eyes, full of envy. Bi Yue explained to them, "This is a reward from my immortal master. I put it in my treasure bag and only found it last night. So I took it out for the first time today."
The two were thinking, your immortal master treats you so well, and there are so many treasures in the immortal world.
After flying for four hours, the carriage stopped in the air and looking down, we saw that there were very few trees on the mountain, and most of them were bare.
Biyue guessed that there must be minerals underneath such a mountain, and the shrubs and weeds on top could not absorb any nutrients and basically grew sparsely.
The carriage stopped at a relatively flat area on the mountain.
She asked the two to get off first and wait here, while she got in the carriage and drove around here, mainly to get away from the two to facilitate communication with the system.
Bi Yue asked the system to start detecting, and it replied to her after a while, "Host, this mountain is full of iron ore, and the iron content is relatively high. You are now a Jindan cultivator, so you can use the magic tools in your treasure bag to surround this mountain.
Then, the more than 60,000 prisoners of war were made to work there, and a team of Dachang troops were sent to set up camp at the exit at the foot of the mountain to guard them. They were told that if they performed well, they could become true citizens of Changping State and return home to reunite with their families.
This will not only appease them, but also give them something to do, which will temper their tempers. After the entire Jing State is occupied, these people will also be the people of Dachang State."
"0025 You are right. Let's do it this way. I will go to the mountain and tell them both now."
The carriage flew up the mountain and said to them, "The mountain we are standing on now is full of iron ore.
Your father told me a few days ago to think of a solution. There are so many prisoners of war locked up there, and we have to provide them with food and drink, which is quite a costly undertaking. We hope to find something for them to do.
So I used the magic weapon from the fairy world to detect it, and found that there seemed to be iron mines here. In order to confirm whether it was really there, I came here to check it out in person today, and sure enough, there was a large iron mine here.
Send those tens of thousands of prisoners of war here, let them mine and smelt iron, and send more than 10,000 soldiers to guard the foot of the mountain, so that they have something to do. If they perform well, they can become citizens of Changping State. This is the purpose of my coming here today."
The two were overjoyed when they heard this. This method was good. Discovering the iron ore was a great achievement. Luo Chen praised, "Yue'er, you are really amazing. Not only did you capture Black Mountain City quickly, but you also discovered such a large iron mine nearby. This is a great thing. You must tell your father when you get home and ask him to write a letter back to the capital so that the emperor can also know about this."
Bi Yue said to the two of them, "After we go back, tell him about this and send the prisoners here. I will first set up a barrier around this mountain so that these people will not be able to escape even if they want to."
"Okay, let's go back now, the three of us." Luo Chen said to Biyue excitedly.
"It's past noon now, and we have nothing to do in the afternoon. You two can eat something first. There's no rush for us to go back later."
So they took out a small table from the locker and ordered a lot of food through the system. They were both big eaters and ate a lot, and the portions were large. They also took out two large mats and asked them to sit on them. The two of them didn't hesitate and started eating with relish.
After eating, they cleaned up and got on the carriage. Pegasus flew up from the sky and opened the protective shield.
