Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system
Chapter 12 Discovery of Iron Ore
Lin Chuan silently handed over the things in his hand. "Sir, this is what County Magistrate Wu and his subordinates have sorted out. Please take a look."
Sheng Changan was speechless for a moment. Looking at their dark circles, they wondered if they hadn't slept all night! This was too much. "Okay, I'll see on the way."
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she couldn't help but look back and said, "You guys should take a rest!" She didn't want such a capable employee to die suddenly.
After seeing the two people agree to the task, Sheng Changan turned around and left. After all, she had a lot of things to do.
Li Dashan whipped the donkey cart forward, while Sheng Changan, sitting inside, carefully unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand.
Fortunately, the characters on these bamboo slips were almost the same as modern Chinese characters, and she also had the memories of the original owner, so reading them was relatively smooth.
They say a person's handwriting reflects his personality, and Lin Chuan's handwriting is indeed excellent. The characters are stable and sharp, and the strokes are quite literary and close to reality. Lin Chuan also remembered what she said, followed her style, and made some improvements. Overall, she was quite satisfied.
Feeling the bumps coming and going, Sheng Changan pinched his nose expressionlessly, "Dashan, what time is it now?"
A voice came through the door curtain, "My Lord, it's already 9 o'clock."
She still needed horses, and she still needed to build roads. By the way, what were the ingredients of cement? She also needed to find mines. Sheng Changan slowly closed her eyes while thinking about this and that. There was no way she was really too sleepy. She had slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken in the past two days, and she had eaten worse than a pig. She really couldn't bear it anymore.
Li Dashan's ears moved, and when he heard the long breathing sound coming from the car door, he guessed that Sheng Changan had fallen asleep. He also slowed down his movements, but the bumps on the road were unavoidable, and Lord Xin was still sleeping soundly.
When Sheng Changan woke up, it was almost dark and the donkey cart had stopped. "What happened?" Didn't she remember that they said they would arrive at around eight or nine in the evening?
"Sir, the wilderness is too dangerous. I have a place to stay nearby. Why don't you rest here for one night and go again tomorrow?"
Sheng Changan jumped off the carriage and stretched her waist. She felt her waist was about to break after sitting for a whole day. "Okay, let's go tomorrow."
Sheng Chang'an sat in the only room with a bed in the hut, gnawing on a piece of bread that was so choking he would choke to death. He took a bite of the bread and drank a sip of water. After barely finishing half of it, he lay down to rest.
It would be nice if there was a knife. The only knife in the county government office is actually a kitchen knife. I heard that Li Hui secretly hid the knife and it wasn't discovered. What a ridiculous world.
When it was just daybreak, Sheng Changan got up. The sooner she finished her work, the sooner she could go back. As soon as she went out, she found that Li Dashan had already gotten up. To some extent, she still admired these people. They went to bed late and got up early, no wonder they could only live to forty or fifty years old.
Suddenly, Sheng Changan seemed to remember something. Isn't this her current self? No, she is young and can withstand it!
"Sir, there is water here." Li Dashan picked up a bucket of water and put it on the ground.
Sheng Changan's eyes narrowed. What color is this? She pinched the debris on the edge of the wooden barrel and looked at it. Why does this look like iron ore? "Where do you get the water? Take me there."
Huh? Li Dashan was a little confused and could only pull the donkey cart over. Although the distance was not far, Lord An's speed was probably quite far.
Sheng Changan got in knowing full well, without asking the distance. With her short legs, she definitely couldn't keep up with Li Dashan's speed, so it would be better to take a car. Although the donkey cart was slow, it was still faster than her.
Sure enough, they arrived in just a quarter of an hour. Sheng Changan's eyes lit up instantly when he got off the car. It was a mine, an iron ore.
Sheng Changan squatted down and looked at the gray-black and red slag on the ground. There must be iron ore nearby, but it was not something she could touch right now. Sheng Changan suppressed her excitement and opened her eyes again. Her eyes had calmed down. "Okay, let's go to that mountain now."
"Okay." Although he didn't know what the adults were happy about, Li Dashan knew that there must be good things here.
Iron ore! It can be used to make a lot of things. I can't let my subordinates not even have decent weapons, and the people's farm tools have to be replaced.
No, the road must be taken step by step, and the meal must be eaten bite by bite. It would be better for her to divert her attention. "System, sign in."
It was wheat. Although food was still in short supply, it was much better than at the beginning, so Sheng Changan was not so excited. However, it was good to have one more kind of food. Planting it now would just be enough to follow up with corn and potatoes. In this way, everyone would not be short of food in two months. Sheng Changan also breathed a sigh of relief.
With the bumpy ride of the donkey cart, we soon arrived at our destination. Looking at the rolling mountains, they were not very high, but the trees here were indeed tall and lush. At a glance, you could not see the end at all.
Even if people are short of food now, they don’t come here to look for it. This shows that the people are afraid of this place.
"Sir, let's go back now!" He didn't dare to bring the lord in. If something happened, County Magistrate Wu and his sister would definitely beat him to death.
Sheng Changan did not make things difficult for him. As a place feared by everyone, she did not dare to go in and seek death. Besides, this place was indeed very large. When she had the strength in the future, maybe she could go in and take a look. If she went in now, if something happened, there would not even be a doctor in the county, and she would really die.
"Let's go!" It was worth the trip to find the iron mine. Suddenly, a piece of lush green appeared in her sight. It was bamboo. Where there were bamboos, there must be spring bamboo shoots.
Sheng Changan walked over quickly and was ready to take action, but she blushed. This bamboo shoot refused to budge. It doesn't matter. A wise man knows when to act. "Dashan, come and pull it out."
Li Dashan found a sharp stone and inserted it into the bamboo shoot. He pulled it out and the bamboo shoot came out. He turned his head and looked at Sheng Changan with innocent eyes. "Sir, do you want more?"
Sheng Changan was silent for a moment. What should he do? He looked so useless when he was so relaxed. "Pull out a few more, just in time to improve the food when we get back."
When he heard that they could be eaten, Li Dashan immediately started digging. Soon he dug out more than ten. Seeing that Li Dashan was not going to give up, Sheng Changan immediately stopped him, "That's enough, that's enough."
Li Dashan gave up with regret. If he had known that this hairy thing was edible, he would have tried it long ago. It didn't matter. He remembered this place and could come back next time.
Watching Li Dashan moving bamboo shoots back and forth, Sheng Changan sighed and thought it was just because of poverty. Judging from Li Dashan's physique, he probably hadn't eaten enough recently.
"Sir, that's enough." He could just go back and make dinner. He heard that a new cook had been appointed, and the food would definitely be better than his sister's.
