Chapter 26 Beiding (Part 2)
A few days later, several gold mine veins in the Wallet Groove were completely settled. The ore was immediately mined continuously by the arrival of miners.
The Pijiagou Gold Mine is not a loss, but the ore mined in the early days is actually a natural "dog-headed gold". Each piece of ore has a golden light. Jiang An weighed these ores with his hands, which were heavy and felt very heavy.
Jiang An couldn't help laughing loudly and said to his close confidants: "From now on, our Liao land will be richer and will definitely be richer in the world! With this super-large gold mine, who in the world dares to speak rich with our Liao land?"
Immediately, an order was sent: "According to the order of the Junhou Mansion, all wallet ditch personnel and soldiers will increase their meals by 50% from now on and their salary will increase by 20%.
Then he turned around to the Major General Tian Dali who was accompanying him and the staff of the Supervisory Institute, and said: "General Tian, you send sergeants to cooperate with the Supervisory Institute to closely supervise the people entering and leaving. The guards in the mine must strictly search to prevent anyone from bringing ore and gold out. Once someone is found to bring ore and gold out, severely punish them without lending!"
Tian Dali and everyone said in unison: "No."
The process and process of smelting gold mines have long been "standard" by Xiangping Academy.
The first step is to first crush the ore through a crusher (a earth-made mill) and then crush the ore into small crushed ores through several crushers;
The second step is to add water and white ash to the crushed ore, then grind these crushed ore into slurry particles. After recovering about 70% of the natural gold particles through the mercury plate, add ore dressing agent and send it to the cement pool to stir, so that the remaining metal minerals adhere to the foam, float to the surface of the flotation tank, and scrape it out with a scraper;
The third step is to concentrate, precipitate, filter and dry it into gold concentrate powder; the tailings sand after flotation is released with water. The mixed mercury gold recovered from the mercury plate is processed into sponge gold after demercury, mixed with appropriate amount of borax and soda into a special pot, melted into a coke furnace and poured into a gold liquid, poured into an iron container, and precipitated in layers according to the difference in specific gravity.
The fourth step is to peel off the upper impurities and leave the lower layer to obtain a mixed gold (55~75% gold content). This gold content is very high, which is equivalent to the full gold content of Ji Kang's previous life.
In the Beituo army led by Bo Wang, Liu Shou, as the leader of the vanguard regiment, rode a horse and led a few soldiers to a hill. After climbing a hill, the entire vision suddenly became wider. The earth was as blue as the sky and extended to the distance.
During the process of expanding the northern part of Liao, Liu Shou was brave in fighting and was promoted to the commander of the new recruits.
On a grass under the hills, several people wearing shabby sheepskin coats and jackets knew they were tribes and were grazing. The tribes who were grazing were shocked when they saw Liu Shou and the others. Several men ran towards the horses not far away, then turned over the horses, shouted, and quickly ran towards their tribe's residence.
Liu Shou, who went north, was not unfamiliar with this situation. He waved his hand back and more than a thousand brothers from his group rushed up from the hills, arranged neatly on the hills, and slowly walked down the hills.
For these tribes, we will determine whether they are enemies or friends later. Those who are obedient will order the tribe leaders to go to the rear camp to pay homage to the general Bo Wang. Those who are disobedient will then annihilate them.
Liu Shou said to a commander under his command: "You can report to the brigade commander, and then he said that he had discovered another tribe. I don't know if it was an enemy or a friend, so our army is here to stand by."
"No." After receiving the order, the messenger immediately turned his horse's head with the other two cavalrymen and ran to report back.
Liu Shou ordered the rest of the troops again: "Cavalents come with me, and the other troops are on standby."
After saying that, he led more than a hundred cavalry companies to slowly walk down from the hills and head forward.
After a while, hundreds of people came over the opposite side in a panic. A tribal leader shouted in front of him. Liu Shou couldn't understand, and just like the previous few days, he asked his cavalry company to stop to prepare for the battle.
The translator equipped next to him rode a horse to the leader of this tribe. When he arrived in front of the leader of this tribe, he picked up the rolling horn and shouted in the words of the tribe: "This is the land of the powerful Liaochengjun in the south. Anyone on this land must surrender to the Lord of Liaochengjun, otherwise he will be annihilated. For this leader, you can choose whether your tribe is surrender or die."
When the leader heard the cavalry translator's words, his eyes widened. He looked at the armor and equipment of the cavalry translator, and then looked behind the translator's equipment at the cavalry company.
He said to the translator: "Is surrendering all our tribes wanting to be slaves?"
The cavalry translator laughed and said, "We are no longer allowed to acquire slaves in Liaodi. If you surrender, you will be the people under the jurisdiction of Liaochengjun. You will give you a territory so that you can farm and grazle."
"Other tribes dare not bully you. You can also exchange your own grazing cattle and sheep and the food you grow into for the cloth and salt you need. And enjoy all the benefits of the people of Liao."
"If you are unwilling to surrender, you and your tribe will be attacked by our Liao army and will be destroyed. If this leader chooses to surrender now, a special person will come here later and register the people of your tribe."
"The people of your tribe will then use the cattle and sheep you grazed for food, cloth and salt. But you must go to the army camp behind me and visit our generals. Now you choose your own choice."
The leader of the tribe immediately pondered for a while and said, "My messenger, I need to discuss with the people of our tribe and I will reply to you tomorrow morning, okay?"
The cavalry translator is already very familiar with this and knows that the tribe is likely to surrender, so he nodded and said, "Yes, we are waiting for your reply here. We can now give you food, cloth and salt in exchange for your ten sheep."
The leader of the tribe was overjoyed and translated to the cavalry: "Dear Messenger, our tribe can deliver twenty lambs."
The cavalry translator waved his hand and said to the leader of the tribe: "No need, our army is not allowed to invade or surrender to any property of our tribe."
After saying that, he rode his horse and ran towards his cavalry unit behind him.
After listening to the translation of this cavalry, everyone who came to this tribe stood foolishly with the leader of this tribe, shocked! Oh my God, I have never seen such an army before!
After a while, a wheelbarrow was pushed over from the hills where Liu Shou's troops were stationed, carrying two wool cloths, several bags of grain and two cans of salt, and walked towards the people of this tribe.
When the soldiers who came to this tribe did not say much, put down their things, changed to ten sheep and walked towards their troops. Seeing this, the people in this tribe believed even more about the words of the cavalry translator.
This is the policy of the Ministry of Political Science and Education of the Army, which was the policy of the Ministry of Political Science and Education, in the process of expanding the north, and the other hand was a big stick.
The next day, the tribe really did not have any surprises and chose to surrender.
In the 12th year of King Wucheng, from the end of May to the end of July, the three armies of Liao territory were carried out to expand the north, and basically completed the task of expanding the north territory issued by the Junhou Mansion.
The army led by Zuozong on the right side reached the estuary of Heihe and Songhua River, and boarded the opposite island - Sakhalin Island; the army led by Shi Yong and Wu Yangjing on the left side arrived at the Hulun Lake basin that went straight to the Hailar River; the army led by Bo Wang on the middle side arrived at the Outing Xing'an Mountains.
After the three armies arrived, they all chose one place to start building the city. Subsequently, these three newly built cities were named Kuye City, Hulun City, and Xing'an City by Ji Kang.
In the 12th year of King Wucheng, at the end of October, before the weather became colder, the three cities of Kuye City, Hulun City and Xing'an City were built respectively.
At this point, in Ji Kang's previous life, land that originally belonged to Heilongjiang, Jilin and Inner Mongolia, as well as the outer Xing'an Mountains and Sakhalin Island, which were occupied by foreign races, was finally included in the territory of the Central Plains Kingdom for the first time.
May to July are wallet infrastructure and preliminary ore mining time.
By early August, the first batch of gold was produced in the gold mine, and after melting and processing, they were all cast into gold bars. By the end of August, Jiang An looked at the summary. Except for the copper and the silver mentioned by Junhou Jikang, the amount of gold was as high as more than 30,000 taels, which is more than 1.5 tons.
In this era, because silver mines were very rare in China, Ji Kang's currency had not yet been formed in his previous life. Most of the currencies used by countries were circulated in gold and copper, but Ji Kang had already consciously accumulated silver.
Seeing this, Jiang An was extremely excited. He thought for a moment, laughed loudly, and told the man: "Send these golds to Xiangping City quickly and report good news to Junhou! Tell Junhou that starting from September, the Walljagou Gold Mine can produce at least two tons of gold per month;"
Chapter completed!
