Zhujiagou, Qian'an County, Yongping Prefecture, is under construction in full swing.
A group of big men were shirtless, carrying big baskets and walking towards the measurement office.
They were sweating profusely in the slightly cold wind.
The leading man shouted: "Everyone, please work harder.
Our team will definitely take first place today."
The ten-dollar bonus is ours."
Everyone promised in unison.
At this time, another group of big men also ran past them carrying baskets, leaving a burst of laughter: "Liu Sihai, today's bonus is ours, you can wait until next time, hahaha."
Liu Sihai shouted angrily: "Wang Wu, you can wait until you get it.
It's only three o'clock in the afternoon.
Why are you so anxious?"
Then he said to his companions: "Don't worry about them.
They can't last long if they run.
We don't want to run.
As the old man said, don't be afraid of being slow, just be afraid of standing.
If we use even force, we can beat them."
Everyone put the big basket on the scale, and the steward shouted: "Peeled one hundred and eighty kilograms, peeled one hundred and seventy kilograms, ten baskets totaling one thousand seven hundred and fifty five kilograms, it will be counted under the name of Group A Six, you We are currently in second place, but if we work harder, we can reach first place.”
Liu Sihai asked: "How many more groups are there than us?"
The steward looked at the book and replied: "It's an extra 1,950 kilograms.
They have to make two more trips than you for one trip."
Liu Sihai looked back at the clock on the tall tower in the distance.
It happened to be a quarter past three in the afternoon.
There were still two hours and three quarters before the end of work.
He should be able to catch up with Wang Wu and the others.
He waved his hand and said: "Look.
Well, we can definitely win Group C.
The fastest mining team in Qian'an Iron Mine didn't come from bragging.
Today's ten-dollar bonus is ours again."
Qian'an Iron Mine is now the largest iron mine in Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao happened to have heard of this iron mine in his previous life.
The reason why Liao people were settled in Qian'an was because he wanted to provide enough labor for the iron mine.
So he asked Yao Siren, Minister of Industry, to organize people to go to Qian'an for exploration.
Yao Siren said: "Your Majesty, I didn't know that there was iron in Qian'an.
I don't know where your Majesty knew that there was iron in Qian'an.
I would like to invite you to inquire and verify."
Looking at the gray-haired veteran, Zhu Youxiao could only sigh: "Yao Qing, if there is any iron, you will know if you send someone to explore it, why don't you care who said it?"
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry should follow rules and regulations when doing things.
If there is no conclusive evidence, please forgive me for not sending people to explore, so as not to waste manpower and money."
Zhu Youxiao was so angry that he couldn't do anything to the old man, so he had to turn around and find Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said impatiently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to ask the Ministry of Industry.
We have talents in the inner court who specialize in mining."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Which supervisor knows how to mine?"
Wei Zhongxian replied: "Your Majesty, although the Silver Manufacturing Bureau makes gold and silverware, there are people inside who know how to mine silver mines.
Silver mines can be mined, so why can't iron mines be mined?"
Zhu Youxiao laughed angrily and said: "Are these two the same?

You know how to plant corn, do you know how to plant radishes, etc.
This is really the same.
Go ask and see if there is anyone who knows how to mine iron ore."
Don’t we have a lot of eunuchs with nothing to do?
Last time, you said you wanted to have sex in the palace.
Now, send them to work in the iron mines. " Wei Zhongxian was shocked.
If this thing really happened and everyone knew that it was his idea, then he would not have to be a man in the inner court.
Everyone would hate himself.
So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please let him go mining."
I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
Firstly, I'm not familiar with it.
Secondly, the internal organs are generally weak.
I'm afraid my life will be lost if I mine for a few days.
Please have mercy on me. " Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and found that most of the internal officials were indeed not in good health.
He didn't know if it was an endocrine problem, so he changed his words: "We don't want them to go mining, but they can always supervise accounting and other things.
You go and ask first.
It will be easier if we have mining talents.”
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran to the bank, and the eunuch took him in.
Wei Zhongxian pushed the tea he offered away and said, "Do you have anyone here who knows how to mine?"
The eunuch in charge of the printing said with a smile: "Mr.
Factory, of course there is.
The Bank has a small silver mine in the west of Beijing.
We mine all the silver ourselves."
"It's not silver ore, it's iron ore.
It just needs to be mined.
The smelting is none of our business.
The Ordnance Bureau is responsible for it."
The palm eunuch smiled even brighter: "Mr.
Factory, this is true.
Our banking bureau has a foreman.
His family used to run an iron factory.
He has always been in charge of the ore mining in the iron factory.
Later, something happened to his family. , he gritted his teeth and entered the palace.
It was definitely not wrong to ask him for this matter.
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed: "Call him here and ask the Sa family.
You can't make any mistakes, otherwise the Holy Spirit will blame you and you won't be able to bear the blame."
The palm printr called the supervisor in.
When Wei Zhongxian saw that he was a young eunuch in his twenties, he said angrily: "Li Jingming, you are so brave.
You dare to deceive your grandfather and me."
Li Jingming suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Manufacturer, my grandfather, how dare I deceive you?"
"You said this man is in charge of mining at home.
He is only about 20 years old now.
How much experience does he have in iron ore mining?"
Li Jingming finally felt relieved and continued to kneel on the ground and said: "Manufacturer, please calm down.
This Chen Xiu just looks tender.

In fact, he is in his thirties.
The child was ten years old before he entered the palace."
Then Chen Xiu also knelt down and said: "Mr.
Factory, I came to the palace more than a year ago.
I am thirty-five this year.
I have been managing the iron mine at home for a total of twelve years.
Please investigate."
Wei Zhongxian confirmed again: "You are really thirty-five."
Chen Xiudao: "It's indeed thirty-five."
Wei Zhongxian then showed a smile and said: "Get up, what are you doing kneeling down?
The Sa family has wrongly blamed you two, right?
Chen Xiu, if you are asked to mine an iron mine, do you understand all aspects of it?"
Chen Xiu showed a confident smile and said: "It's hard for others to tell.
I have been working for so long, so I can still say that I have some understanding of iron ore mining."
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "That's good.
Find a few people who know this business and be prepared.
After I report it to the Holy Father, they will go mine for me."
Chen Xiudao: "Mr.
Factory, is this the original mine?"
Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and said: "I heard from the Holy Spirit that it should be new.
The Ministry of Industry is not willing to explore it, so it is left to us to do it."
Chen Xiu was anxious and said quickly: "Mr.
Factory, new mines must be explored first, otherwise it will be bad if there are no mines or there are too few ores."
Wei Zhongxian smiled: "Don't worry, as long as the Emperor says there is iron ore there, then there must be iron ore.
Do not doubt the Lord's judgment.
My principle of doing things is that if the Emperor says that iron can not sink on the water, then it must be possible."
Not sinking.
If it sinks, then It's because we didn't do it well or did it right, but what the Holy One said is absolutely not wrong.
In the past few years that the Sa family has followed the Holy One, we have never seen the Holy One say a wrong thing.
Therefore, we only need to go there and find the right place.
Just start mining
