The general looked at the lifelike statue in his hand and was very satisfied. The statue was a huge sheep, climbing the mountain. Behind the sheep, a little man was holding a wooden stick, which was hanging on the sheep's horns. The little man was swinging in the air with the stick. The general shook his work, and the little man shook with his movements. He was very satisfied with his craftsmanship. Although he was a rough man when he was alive and could only wield swords and guns, he had a good talent for this delicate work. However, the color of this stone was not good-looking. It would be better if it could be dyed with some other colors. The general thought so, and then he put the stone sculpture on the table, looked at the sky, and raised his hand to close the door.

The scenery outside the door in the eyes of the lamb disappeared completely with the general's action.

He stood up and jumped, wanting to rush out in this gap. The general looked at the lamb rushing towards him, and raised his eyebrows behind the mask.

He gently pulled the door open, and then his tone was full of carelessness: "You sheep, it's cold outside, and you insist on going out to play. You are a little cold, and Nanhe will dislike you again."

The lamb ignored the general's words.

He rushed out from the direction of the door, and then the whole sheep fell into the snow pile.

He looked at the cold snowflakes, cheered, and rolled in the snow pile, and soon rolled into a snowball.

The general looked at him, shook his head, and didn't care about him anymore.

The lamb's horns glowed in the snow, and lightning rushed towards the snow on his body. Then, with a bang, the snow wrapped around the lamb was scattered. He cheered in the snow and continued to roll down.

Jiang Nanhe was awakened by the sound. He frowned and looked very unhappy.

The general lit the stove in the room, and the temperature in the room was a little higher. While adding some water to the pot, he explained the reason to Jiang Nanhe.

Jiang Nanhe was simply full of resentment about the lamb's behavior.

He finally got some sleep, but the lamb insisted on going out to make trouble.

If possible, he wanted to shave all the hair on the lamb, but he knew that if he went out now, the lamb would definitely attack him and then be covered with snow.

Jiang Nanhe was speechless about the lamb. His fearless character was really annoying.

The general naturally knew that Jiang Nanhe was in a bad mood, so while he was cooking, he took the time to carry the stone sculpture he had just carved to Jiang Nanhe's side.

Jiang Nanhe looked at the little man holding a wooden stick in his hand, hanging on the sheep's horns and floating back and forth in the air, and laughed in his heart. General, is this a sculpture of himself? To be honest, it looks quite like it.

It's just that the color of this stone is not good enough, it looks yellow.

Looking at the stone in his hand, Jiang Nanhe tilted his head and then realized something was wrong.

"General, what kind of stone is this? Why does it look yellow? I remember that there are very few colored stones."

The general listened to Jiang Nanhe's puzzled words, turned his head and took a look, then floated in the air as if in a daze, thought for a while, and then gave Jiang Nanhe the answer.

"It should be brass, right? I saw this stone in the mountains and I thought it was good. The exposed color is just right for fine carving."

Listening to the general's explanation, Jiang Nanhe showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He nodded and said indifferently.

"So it's brass. I was wondering why it turned yellow."

After Jiang Nanhe finished speaking, he put the stone sculpture down and sat on the stool in a daze. However, he suddenly seemed to react, his eyes widened a little, and he turned his head to look at the stone sculpture.

"No, general, what kind of stone is this? Is this brass? How can there be such a thing in our mountains? Isn't this an ore?"

Jiang Nanhe's tone was full of disbelief. He just suddenly reacted. The so-called brass is not brass? Is it a general term for other yellow metal ores?

How can there be such a thing in the wilderness of Qinshan? Perhaps noticing Jiang Nanhe's surprised expression, the general recalled and then explained to Jiang Nanhe in confusion.

"Is this brass stone so rare? There are a lot of them in Qin. It is because of this that there is so little arable land in Futian. Most of them are hard stones. I think the color is just right, and there is nothing special about it.

"It's so special, right?" Jiang Nanhe scratched his head in confusion after listening to the general's words. Didn't the general know that this brass could be refined into copper? It shouldn't be the case. Logically, the general should know it. Besides, isn't Qinshan the general's? Thinking of this, Jiang Nanhe also asked. "General, this brass can be refined into copper? Don't you know? This is a very rare ore, and you said there are a lot of them in our Qinshan Mountain? Why haven't I seen it before?" The general listened to Jiang Nanhe's words, and stopped stirring the hot soup with a spoon in his hand. Then he slowly raised his head and looked directly at Jiang Nanhe behind the mask. He spoke word by word, but there was a strong sense of doubt in his words. "Can this brass be refined into fool's gold? No? Can this thing be refined into gold and copper? It shouldn't be. "

Listening to the general's doubtful words, Jiang Nanhe realized that the general really didn't know, but the general's subsequent words made him widen his eyes.

The general put down the colander and waved his hand gently. There were many golden and precious minerals in Jiang Nanhe's room. Looking at those brass stones, Jiang Nanhe's originally excited heart calmed down.

"What did I say? When I just died, my consciousness was still a little confused, but I remember that the king who canonized me said in the edict that he would give me 10 million taels of gold. I thought that the gold was carried to my home, but I didn't expect that it was these brass stones. There are a lot of them inside Qinshan, which is more than 10,000 taels? It seems that the guy is quite generous to me. "

Jiang Nanhe listened to what the general said, and his mouth twitched. He knew that copper was a very important metal in ancient times, so the brass that was refined, as well as the bronze that he knew before, were also called gold in ancient times.

This gold is not the same concept as the gold he knows, because the original color of bronze and other coppers is also golden, so gold refers to yellow copper, and gold is a special mineral that is specially listed.

The general looked at the pile of ore and touched his chin. He always felt that Jiang Nanhe would have no money to spend when he went out and entered human society in the future, but now that he knew that these ores could be refined into copper, he would refine it himself.

Anyway, there are many people who make private money in ordinary places, and there are really many ores inside Qinshan. Those ores tightly wrap a hole, and the hole is his tomb. Anyway, it’s useless for him to keep these ores, so he packed them all and refined them into gold and copper for Jiang Nanhe to use.
