Chapter 259
How will Zhennan Fort be expanded?
This Zhao Hao naturally planned it long ago. He directly took out a sheepskin scroll, hung it on the wooden board erected behind him, and then pointed to the sketch on it and ordered: "This is the valley we are in. Seal it with a four-step-high city wall, fill in the middle, and build [-] separate houses according to the terrain. You three, Ashan, Afeng, and Nanjiang, are in charge. Lead your elite and [-] young and strong to complete the project in one month."
The valley where Zhennan Fort is located is more than ten miles long. What does he mean, is he going to expand the entire valley into Zhennan Fort?
The sheer size of this project is a bit terrifying.
However, Ah Shan, Ah Feng, and Sha He didn't ask any questions, they just cupped their hands and said, "Obey."
Zhao Hao then pointed to the sketch and ordered: "This is the open space between the valley and the Haotian River. The east and west sides are sealed with four-step-high city walls, and the middle is filled up to build twelve rows of sheds for storage. You three, Lin, Ashu, and Shahe, are in charge, lead your elite men and three thousand young men, and try to complete the project in one month."
The amount of this project does not seem to be very large, but in fact it is not much smaller than the amount of work in the valley, because the sheds he asked to build are several miles long!
Such a large shed, how much goods do you have to store?
A Lin, A Shu, and Sha He didn't ask any questions, they just cupped their hands and said, "Obey."
Zhao Hao then pointed to the sketch and ordered: "This is a temporary pier on the Haotian River. Ahua and Ahuo, you should lead your elites to expand it and expand it into a pier that can accommodate twenty large ships."
The amount of this project is not very large, so he arranged for 1000 people.
Ah Hua and Ah Huo also cupped their hands without hesitation and said, "I obey."
Zhao Hao finally ordered: "Beishan, A Xing, you lead your elites and the [-] young men gathered from the Eighth Battalion to burn pottery bricks and tiles, and build another forty large ships."
[Reading Benefits] Follow the public.. account [Book Friends Base Camp], read books every day to draw cash/point coins!
The so-called [-] young men gathered from the eight battalions were actually the captives that were guarded by each battalion. Of course, they are also considered members of the Haotian leader at this moment.
5000 people came here to fire pottery bricks and tiles, which were obviously for the other three groups of people. Beishan and A Shu also said without hesitation, "I obey."
Following Zhao Hao's order, nearly 2 people started to move immediately, and the entire town of South Fort was in full swing.
At this time, Zhao Hao took Ji Rushuang and began to search carefully in the Nanman Mountains on the southeast side of Zhennan Castle.
This piece of Nanman Mountains can be said to be the most frequently visited place by Nanhua's masters. There is absolutely no existence close to the existence of divine beasts. If there were any, they would have been hunted down by Nanhua's masters long ago. Alien beasts are also quite difficult. If you hunt for it, it is not bad if you can hunt one a day.
So why did Zhao Hao let go of the expansion project of Zhennan Fort, and instead take Ji Rushuang to waste time in this Nanman mountain?
In fact, his main purpose was not to hunt exotic animals, but to find coal and iron mines.
In the future, he will make a large number of knife coins and dime coins, as well as kitchen knives, hoes and other iron tools. I believe they will be quite popular in Nanhua and even the entire Taihua Department. He doesn't know how many he will make by then.
There are tens of thousands of these things, and the required coal and iron ore are naturally quite a lot. If they are transported from the territory of Ahua and Ashan, it will be too laborious, so, He wanted to look around to see if there were coal mines and iron mines in the Nanban Mountains.
As for the search method, it is very simple. He just took Ji Rushuang to drill into the mountains or valleys with relatively few trees to see if there are any open-air coal mines or iron mines. Cleave some of the hillsides to see if there are any in them.
This method of prospecting is a bit weird, and it is estimated that future exploration experts will definitely be dumbfounded when they see it.
However, Zhao Hao has no choice, because he is not an all-powerful god, he really doesn't know how to mine, he will only use the most stupid method.
Not to mention, his luck was quite good. Within a few days, he found an open-pit iron mine in a valley more than [-] miles away from Zhennan Fort. I also found two places, one about ten miles away from Zhennan Fort, and the other about thirty miles away from Zhennan Fort.
Now it's easy to handle. He directly ordered Zhao Yi and Zhao Zhi to find Beishan's mother to order five hundred young men each, plus one hundred guards under their command, to build roads together, and separate the coal mine and iron mine from the township. It will be completed if the South Fort is connected, and then he will organize manpower to dig.
The problems of coal mines and iron mines were solved in this way, but Zhao Hao suddenly discovered that he did not have professional blacksmiths under his command.
Of course, the so-called professional blacksmith at this moment is actually just learning some blacksmithing skills from him, and then he has been blacksmithing for a few years by himself, so he is more skilled.
If he has time, he can definitely train another batch.
The problem is, he doesn't have time at all right now.
In other words, he couldn't wait that long.
Because, after Zhennan Fort is built, the knives and dimes will come in handy.
In desperation, he had no choice but to call together the eight newly promoted princes, including A Hua and A Shan.
Ah Hua, Ah Shan and others thought that he wanted to understand the progress of various projects, and then urged them to do so.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao asked inexplicably when he opened his mouth: "Do you know that next, we will exchange food with other territories in Nanhua with meat, leather goods, ironware and pottery?"
Of course they know this, they are all thinking about whether they want meat, leather goods, ironware and pottery to exchange some food with other territories in Nanhua. After all, each of them has more than a thousand families under their hands at the moment, so if they only eat meat , the consumption is really quite large.
Everyone nodded without hesitation, but none of them opened their mouths. Everyone seemed to be looking at Ah Shan intentionally or unintentionally, meaning to ask Ah Shan to speak back and forth.
Because Ah Shan is Zhao Hao's cousin, he and Zhao Hao are the closest.
Seeing this, Ah Shan could only reply helplessly: "We have heard about this a long time ago. I have prepared some meat and leather goods. I want to exchange some food with other territories in Nanhua, but I don't know how to exchange it."
Zhao Hao explained with a smile: "I have already discussed this with the Great Elder. We can use knife coins and dime coins to exchange food with other territories in Nanhua, or we can directly use meat, leather goods, ironware and pottery. However, these things are not It has to be priced in knives and dimes."
Knives and dimes?
It seems that there is no such thing at the moment!
Everyone is in a fog, not knowing why.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao directly took out the sketches of the knife coin and the horn coin, hung them on the wooden board behind him, and then explained: "This is the knife coin and the horn coin. The knife coin is actually a sharp knife, and the horn coin is actually a sharp knife. An arrow. I have already negotiated with the Great Elder. One knife coin can be exchanged for ten catties of rice, and one dime coin can be exchanged for one catty of rice. Of course, other territories in Nanhua can also exchange knife coins and dimes with us for meat, leather goods, ironware and pottery. The temporary pricing is one knife coin for one catty of meat, and the rest will be estimated according to this."
At this moment, everyone finally understood that the knives and dimes were knives and arrows.
Chapter 260 Supervision
Both Ah Hua and Ah Shan thought that Zhao Hao came to them this time because he wanted them to quickly forge some knives and dimes, and prepare to exchange food with other territories in Nanhua.
To be honest, this approach is really good.
They also learned blacksmithing from Zhao Hao for a period of time, so they naturally knew how to forge the knives and dimes.
It is quite troublesome to make these two things one by one, but as long as the abrasive tools are provided, it is easy to make batch by batch. Even, they don't need to prepare any meat, leather goods, iron and pottery, just make some knives Coins and dimes can be exchanged for enough food.
Everyone was excitedly planning to make knives and horns, but Zhao Hao suddenly put on a straight face and said seriously: "The knives and jigs are very important, and I want to make these two things a currency for pricing. It's not that simple, so you can't make knives and dimes without permission, I need to supervise the production of these things."
Ah!
Isn't this just a joke?
When everyone heard the words, they all showed a little disappointment on their faces, but they didn't object.
At this time, Zhao Hao's authority was quite great. Basically, as long as it was what he said, no one dared to refute it, and no one would refute it.
Zhao Hao then said seriously: "In order to prevent someone from forging knives and dimes privately in the future and destroying the entire trading system, all the blacksmiths under your command must be gathered in Zhennan Castle, and I will take care of it myself."
this!
