After hearing Ye Li's words, everyone was a little confused, but they still followed his orders.
After Tenglong casually arranged for a thousand people, he asked the remaining people to rush back towards the military camp.
After everyone left, Ye Li said to the remaining people: "Let's go, follow me, I will take you somewhere."
As he spoke, Ye Li led the way and soon led everyone to the hillside where he found the mineral vein.
Pointing to the giant mountain black scaled tiger's lair, Ye Li said: "After I killed the giant mountain black scaled tiger, I came here to investigate.
This should be the giant mountain black scaled tiger's previous lair.
I walked in and checked it out out of curiosity.
Guess what I found inside?"
Ye Li asked Qian San, Ding Si and others with a smile, an excited smile flashed across his face.
Before anyone could answer, Ye Li continued: "What I found here are two mineral veins.
Do you understand what I mean?
In front of everyone in my territory, I discovered two rich ore veins.
With the existence of these two mineral veins, our annual income in Dongfang County will become abundant.
I think I can afford to support even 10,000 people. " After hearing Ye Li's words, Ding Si was the first one to start laughing.
After all, he often dealt with property, and he fully understood how much it would cost for Ye Li to raise an army of ten thousand people.
Before, he was a little worried that Ye Li's formation of the legion would not go smoothly.
Now with these two mineral veins, the problem is almost solved.
Although it is still very difficult to build an army of ten thousand people in a short period of time, it is no longer as difficult as before.
“Ding Si, your next task is to arrange for manpower to come and build the mining area.
The locations of the previously destroyed villages were used to build camps for the legions stationed in the mining areas and accommodation for the miners.
We will dedicate a thousand people to garrison here, and the personnel will naturally be replaced in turn.
For miners in the mining area, you need to go to nearby villages to recruit people.
There should be a lot of labor in Dongfang County.
We will pay them according to the standards of ordinary miners. " Ye Li said to Ding Si.
Ding Si is cautious and careful, and now he has almost become his most effective stopper.
After saying that, Ye Li led Ding Si and others into the cave, while the soldiers stayed outside the cave.
Going all the way deep into the cave, everyone was shocked by the huge mineral vein in front of them.
Tenglong even said to Ye Li with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, sir, for discovering mineral veins in the territory, the development speed of the territory will be greatly increased."
Ye Li also nodded with a smile.
After Tenglong congratulated Ye Li, he said to Ye Li seriously: "But sir, there are mineral veins here, and the news of our mining will definitely spread, and many surrounding forces will definitely covet this place.
According to the rules of the Tang State, the allocated territory is basically completely private.
The court will not take care of your defense work here, so the defense of the territory must be completed by ourselves, and the pressure will be great at that time.
This is a rich mining area, and the attraction must be huge.
Just one thousand of us may not be enough. " Ye Li nodded and said: "I also know this is the case.
This place is close to the edge of Dongfang County and was previously occupied by monsters.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is not even considered the sphere of influence of Dongfang County.
But now that the monsters here have been wiped out by us, then naturally this place completely belongs to us.
No matter what, we must hold on to this place, which will be the core of our development in Dongfang County.
If one thousand guards are not enough, we will mobilize two thousand people, and I will find a way to expand the number of our legions. " Ding Si also had a worried look on his face at this moment.
He understood how much pressure the addition of such a huge mineral vein would put on Dongfang County.
"You don't have to worry about this now.
We must mine this vein.
I can even keep all 3,800 people here.
You must understand the situation of other surrounding forces in a short time.
Not only must we be prepared to prevent their attacks, but we also need to take the initiative to take down some forces.

My plan is to expand our Dongfang County's power further outwards.
In this way, Heishan Ridge will no longer be a marginal area. " Ye Li said to several people.
After inspecting the situation of the mineral vein, everyone discussed for a while and began to prepare for the construction of the mining area.
Among the large number of people transferred by Li Rushan, there is also a team of specialized construction craftsmen.
With these people, the speed of building mining areas and camps will be many times faster than in the past.
After all, with their guidance, all construction work will become more organized.
Another half month passed quickly, and Ye Li felt that it was a wrong decision for him to agree to Li Rushan coming here to be the lord.
Although his territory is not large, there are really too many trivial matters, including not only the various chores of the legion, but also the management work within the territory.
Ye Li told Ding Si that he must find some people who can manage him.
Otherwise, just dealing with these things will consume a lot of his time every day, and there will be no way to practice.
In half a month, the construction of the mining area has been completed, and all the tools in the mine have been prepared.
The garrison camp outside Heishan Ridge has also been built, and 1,500 people are already stationed here.
Qian San led a group of people to explore around Heishan Ridge and basically determined the distribution of forces outside.
The only threat to Dongfang County was a tribe called the Peacock tribe in the northeast of Heishan Ridge. power.
This is a force with a similar social structure to the Skyfire Clan.
Of course, its strength is far inferior to that of the Skyfire Clan.
They do not have Talisman-level existences, and the most powerful ones are two masters of the Divine Phase stage.
However, after all, the Peacock clan has been entrenched nearby for hundreds of years and has a prosperous population.
According to Qian San's estimation, the number of people they can fight will definitely not be less than 7,000, which is much more than Ye Li's soldiers.
And the most important point is that the Peacock clan was once attacked by people sent by the Tang State, but the Tang State sent fewer people at that time, and they were basically eliminated by the other party.
It was not impossible to defeat the Peacock clan with the military power of the Tang State, but Li Tianyuan at the time believed that it was not necessary.
The Tang State's sphere of influence had almost reached Dongfang County.
If it continued to expand eastward, it would be difficult to guard and manage it.
Now there is a force that is stronger than Dongfang County and has some enmity with Tang State entrenched in the northeast of Heishan Ridge.
This news makes Ye Li feel worried
