The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 70 Master Ye harbors evil intentions, Zhu Yuanzhang is disappointed (seeking more)
At the foot of a big mountain in the north of Nieying Town,
At the end of the road, there is a gate made of iron frame structure, and above the gate there are also five characters [Da Tieshan Iron Mine].

The reason why this place is called the Big Iron Mountain is because there are too many iron ores in this mountain.

As long as you dig through the soil layer, you can find iron ore with extremely high iron content!
The Yanmen soldiers and civilians all said that it was because Master Ye came that God opened his eyes and gave Yanmen County such a generous gift.

Actually it's not, it can only be said that Ye Qing is too familiar with Yanmen County.

Not to mention the last life of the ten reincarnations, he had a four-life relationship with Yanmen County, and his previous life in the city also knew something about Yanmen County.

After all, there is Yanmen Pass, which is called "the first pass in China". close'.

As a history buff, it's only natural that he would put his mind to learning about this place!
Therefore, he can be said to know the land resources and other conditions of Yanmen County like the palm of his hand!

With a little thought, he can find the resources he needs!

That's how the natural bitumen called 'black tar', which is extremely valuable to other places in this era, was found.

Natural asphalt is the asphalt that is formed gradually after oil has been squeezed by the crust for a long time and fully contacted with air and water, and exists in natural form.

According to the formation environment, it can be divided into asphalt rock, asphalt lake, seabed asphalt, etc.!

Yanmen County is doomed to have nothing to do with seabed asphalt, but there is a "spring" that has been emitting liquid asphalt since a hundred years ago. Over the years, an asphalt lake has been formed.

And this asphalt lake has never been developed and utilized because it was mistaken for a 'black swamp'.

In addition, because this so-called 'black swamp' swallowed people and was endowed with various weird legends, no one dared to set foot on it.

But when Ye Qing heard such a legend, he basically believed that it was the Pitch Lake.

When I went to the place, I found that it was an asphalt lake.

And this kind of liquid natural asphalt, as far as the current era background is concerned, it is a waste if it is not used to pave the road.

It can be said that the discovery of the asphalt lake has certain accidental factors, but the discovery of this 'Iron Mountain' is definitely not accidental!

First of all, he himself knew that Yanmen County, a place where 70% of the area is mountainous, is very rich in mineral resources.

In addition to gold, silver and copper, the iron ore resources here rank first in Shanxi!

And the reason why he only opened this one iron mine was only because he had the idea of ​​being given to death after three years as an official. It was really useless to open so many mines, and there was no need to over-exploit.

He only needs to open this iron mine and simply improve the equipment level of the Yanmen army.

somewhere in the mine,

Prisoner No. 88 is sweating profusely under the sun in the sky.

At the same time, every time he swung the chisel, a little spark appeared in front of him.

"No. 88, you don't need to mine here anymore."

"You take your accomplices and follow the convoy to transport all the ore to the arsenal."

"Then you don't have to come back anymore, just help out with chores over there!"

The guard who was in charge of escorting Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, who was able to fight Mao Xiang twice, and with two beards, suddenly came to inform him.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard such news, he suddenly had a feeling of "suffering and rewarding".

Although the work of moving iron ore is really no easier than mining!
But he can collect Ye Qing's criminal evidence now!

Zhu Yuanzhang had never heard of the new term 'arsenal', but he had heard quite a few of this new term in Yanmen County.

It even reaches the level where you don't need to ask for advice, just a little association can figure it out.

The ancient meaning of the word "factory" is a "cliff" where people can live. In the Ming Dynasty, it specifically refers to a large shed that can store goods and concentrate labor.

Coupled with the word military industry, it naturally means a workshop for the production of weapons.

"okay!"

"Let's go!"

After seeing such a good attitude of prisoner No. 88, the jailer pretended to be the leader of the secret service branch nodded in satisfaction and left.

Just when he disappeared at the corner of the intersection, the so-called reform-through-labour prisoner No. 88 revealed Zhu Yuanzhang's true colors.

After Zhu Yuanzhang 'watched off' the capable supervisor and jailer around the corner, he looked at the convoy that was loading vehicles.

At the same time, Mao Xiang, who was always mining around him, and a dozen "accomplices" composed of pro-military captains also surrounded him.

Zhu Yuanzhang just said seriously and in a low voice: "Sure enough, this guy opened the mine just to make armor for himself!"

"He failed our sister's expectations of him, and even more failed our tolerance for him for so many days!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang once again became what prisoner No. 88 should be, and went to the convoy first.

At the same time, Mao Xiang also led his people and followed Zhu Yuanzhang.

But their thoughts at the moment are somewhat different from Zhu Yuanzhang's.

Deep in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he was more disappointed and lost. He thought he was a genius who could be of great use to him, but unexpectedly he was a ghost with evil intentions!

They all started to privately manufacture weapons and still survive?
After finding the criminal evidence, they must kill immediately!

It's a pity that he has the ability to build a country!

And the thinking of these people is too simple, that is to quickly find evidence of crimes and avenge their shame.

They are all people who can protect His Majesty the emperor when he travels far away, that is, the elites of the pro-military captain's mansion.

But they never expected that these elites didn't even have a chance to make a move, so they were used to use Mongolian sweat medicine to make a show in a pigpen.

If they hadn't all been caught in one pot, their emperor wouldn't have needed to wear this '88' prison uniform to inspect Yanmen County and County Magistrate Ye Qing!
Well now, this Ye Qing dared to open a mine and build a military armor privately, he is digging his own grave!

They only need to put in a lot of effort in the matter of investigation and evidence collection, and it can barely be regarded as a crime!
When you settle accounts afterwards, you can save a few strokes with the board!
Thinking of this, before Mao Xiang gave an order, they became extremely active.

Not to mention, the way they help bind and fix the iron ore is quite professional, after all, they are the ones who have been kidnapping people for a long time.

It is precisely because of their professional approach and positive attitude that they have also received an appreciative look from the team leader.

And Zhu Yuanzhang also took advantage of this opportunity to chat with the team leader.

Building a good relationship with ordinary people is what Zhu Yuanzhang is best at, and he gets acquainted within a few words.

And the reason why he did this was just to learn more about this so-called 'Arsenal' on the way!
Just after they set off on the road, the figure hidden in the woods came out.

He was the one who came to convey Ye Qing's order, seeing that prisoner No. 88 was already on his way, he quickly got on his horse and took a shortcut to the arsenal! .
