    Carriages of horse-drawn carriages travel long distances out of the customs, which is a spectacular sight.

    These carriages are like propaganda teams along the way.

    ¡°So much so that the states and counties along the way knew that we were going to mine.

    There is not a strong reading atmosphere in the Guanzhong area, and there are not many people who pass down poems and books. After all you can't beat those who are the best in the exam, so there is quite a business atmosphere.

    Many people also pulled the cart with doubts.

    And here in Poluwei, a new city has been built, and nearly 100,000 Tatars and Han people live together here.

    The Tatars were completely disintegrated.  The Ming army could penetrate directly into the Tatars, which forced many Tatars to live under the shelter of others, except for some Tatars who had to migrate to the more desolate north.

    They were also human beings. They came to Poluwei with their wives and children, thinking that they would be slaves. However they were surprised to find that the Han people actually resettled them.

    Those who have enough energy can go up to the mountains to mine. The mountains are full of wealth, including gold, silver, copper and iron. There are a lot of rich ores scattered among the nearby mountains. Before this, there was almost no development here. Therefore, open-pit iron mines and coal mines are everywhere.  yes.

    Not only that, there are countless smelting workshops at the foot of the mountain. All the ore goes down the mountain and is smelted. Eventually, it becomes pieces of pig iron. The coal will also be ground into powder, and then the impurities will be removed.

    The gold, silver and copper here are the most popular for mining. More than 3,500 kilograms of gold are produced every year, more than tens of thousands of kilograms of silver are produced, and there is also a large amount of copper ore, which is eventually made into copper ingots.

    And this is just the early stage of mining.

    In the first two years, the output was not high because the road up the mountain was rugged and all the energy was spent on road construction. But now, according to Fang Jifan's method, people have set up one after another directly in the mining area along the smelting workshops.  Wooden tracks, on the track, can be used by cars.

    In the future, the output of various ores and smelted gold, silver, copper and iron will continue to double.

    Men mine, while women are responsible for raising children and making food.  Of course most people will also raise dozens of cattle and sheep.

    Tatars are not inherently cruel.  It's just that in a harsh environment, there is no other way out.

    But now, they can settle down stably, and their wives and children don¡¯t have to follow the men around as nomads. They can eat and drink enough with their wages and the sold cattle and sheep. Many Tatars are very satisfied with this.

    A stable and prosperous life is what people expect. In particular, Tatar men are strong and have strong endurance. They often dig more ore.

    The chief manager of this mining area is Deng Jian.

    In accordance with Captain Fang¡¯s order, Manager Deng adopted a piece-rate salary. Whoever mined more ore would receive a larger salary.

    After one month, I sold my strength and still had one or two taels of silver. This amount was enough for ordinary Han people, not to mention the Tatars.

    People settled along the Yellow River, with canyons on both sides, just like all the landforms in the Hexi Corridor. The city scale continued to expand along the south side of the Yellow River, forming a long and narrow living area.

    The faces of the people here seem to be stained with a layer of ashes, and countless merchants will bring food.

    Of course, there are also many Hans and Tatars grazing and farming nearby.

    The price of food here is high. Even if the land is barren and the food grown is small, it is enough for a farmer to feed a family.

    Deng Jian was sitting in the steward's hall drinking tea with his feet up as usual.

    He likes to read books recently.

    Reading makes people happy.

    Although he didn't recognize many words, it didn't stop him from holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" upside down and chewing it over and over again.

    The book is a little yellowed.

    ¡°Obviously, it¡¯s been watched a lot.

    While Deng Jian was eating peanuts, he occasionally picked up some warm rice wine and drank it in one gulp, which was very satisfying.

    After reading the book, he put it down and neatly stacked it among the pile of "Book of Rites", "Zuo Zhuan", "Gongsun Yang" and "Gu Liang Zhuan" on the desk.

    ¡°General manager Deng, manager Deng¡±

    A civil servant came in a hurry. When he saw Manager Deng playing with his books, he immediately stood in awe.

    "What are you yelling about? There are no rules." Deng Jian said with a straight face.

    He has grown a little beard, because he came to Hexi, so his face has a little more vicissitudes of life. He hates it when someone is startled and looks awkward.

    "Yes, yes, the villain deserves to die."

    "Mr. Deng." ThisThe successor of Fan ignored the noise of the trading market.

    ¡°He actually doesn¡¯t like merchants either.

    "These profit-seeking guys have no sense of responsibility to the people at all. They will magnify their selfishness infinitely. In order to make profits, they would like to sell their wives and children.

    Butwhat does this matter?

    No matter how bad they are, can they be worse than the scum of the world?  Can he be worse than Xiao Zhu Xiucai?

    As long as you make good use of it, you can turn waste into treasure.

    The first section of railway track has been completely completed.

    Zhu Houzhao took Fang Jifan to the hot workshop. Fang Jifan saw with his own eyes the rail in front of him. It was half a foot long, good guy, and very thick. However, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rails need to be manufactured for this section of rail.  , these are all silver.

    Fang Jifan couldn¡¯t help but sigh, it¡¯s really not easy. If it weren¡¯t for the accumulation of original capital and road construction by relying on the enemies, it would be impossible.  It doesn¡¯t exist. This damn thing is all silver, countless amounts of silver.

    Zhu Houzhao patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "Old Fang, do you want to cry again?"

    "No." Fang Jifan shook his head and said, "I just feel that there are still many good people in the world. I love this world and love everyone."

    Zhu Houzhao shuddered: "It's just"

    "What?"

    Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Now, the price of pig iron has increased eight times and is still rising. Many merchants are simply hoarding goods. If this continues, I'm afraid countless steel stoves will run out of rice to cook."
