Chapter 204 He is too tired

Before Liu Shan committed suicide, he wrote a letter to Wang Kang. This letter was later handed over to Wang Kang through his best friend, his third wife, Zhao Mei.

In the letter, he told him the location of an iron mine, which Wang Kang always remembered.

This is also the reason why he worked so hard in the fiefdom competition. In the eyes of outsiders, Xinfeng County is a barren and desolate place.

But in his eyes, it is a treasure!

It’s because of the iron ore!

In fact, the reason why the land in Xinfeng County is red, the mountains do not grow trees, and the ground does not grow grass is largely because the geology here contains more iron elements.

Needless to say the importance of iron ore, iron is also inseparable from national development.

This is true whether it is for civilian or state use.

Where there are iron mines, there is capital for development!

This is also the core focus of Wang Kang.

From the time he first entered Xinfeng County, he had secretly sent people to search for the location of the iron ore provided by Liushan.

After some searching, I finally found it.

It is indeed an iron mine, and it is an open-pit iron mine. It is hidden under a mountain rock and is rich in reserves. It is also a hematite mine!

Hematite is also called iron oxide,

Hematite contains up to 70% iron and can be produced in large quantities, so hematite is the most important iron ore.

When Wang Kang arrived, a soldier wearing military armor came over immediately. He was a hundred-man general in the family's private army, and he was about forty years old.

He had participated in the Yue-Zhao War three years ago and was injured on the battlefield and retired. At that time, Wang Dingchang donated huge sums of money and materials to the war effort, so he admired him deeply and came to join him.

His name was Deng Yu, and he was favored by Wang Dingchang. Because he was experienced and steady, Wang Kang put him in charge of mining matters with one hundred and fifty soldiers.

"Master Kang, you are here." Deng Yu greeted him respectfully.

Although this young master is young, he is very respectful, not because of his identity, but because of his method and style.

From the moment they arrived in Xinfeng County, everyone saw Wang Kang's actions, which convinced all the family soldiers and generals.

"Uncle Deng, you and I don't have to do this," Wang Kang said, waving his hands.

"You still have to have the proper etiquette," Deng Yu said seriously.

Wang Kang had no choice but to ask: "Are they quite honest?"

Deng Yu knew what Wang Kang was asking, "I wasn't honest at first, but after I killed a few, I became honest."

"Yeah!" Wang Kang nodded without paying attention.

These bandits are all members of the previous bands of bandits. They have robbed homes and committed many evil deeds. Naturally, there is no need to be polite to them.

"What is the output of iron ore?" Wang Kang asked again.

"It's okay. The main reason is that there are rich reserves here and it's not difficult to excavate. According to my estimation, there should be them all in this mountain." Deng Yu said.

"And with the help you provide, it is even more convenient."

"Guards must be done well, and sentries must be placed in all directions. Even the villagers are not allowed to approach."

Wang Kang ordered: "The iron ore cannot be concealed, but the amount of mining must be kept secret!"

"I see."

Deng Yu nodded in response. It goes without saying how important iron ore is. Iron ore with such reserves is rare, which inevitably attracts prying eyes.

"When you are not busy, just take someone to build a trail outside that can be used by carriages and horses. I will transport the iron ore soon."

"yes!"

Then Deng Yu took Wang Kang into the interior to inspect. The mining area was in this valley. Soldiers were everywhere standing guard to supervise, while bandits were carrying it.

Because of the existence of firewood, manual excavation is not required, which saves a lot of effort.

On one side of the valley, there are piles of stones that appear to be red in color. These are hematite ores.

Next to it is a small pile of powder, which is the iron powder that will be blasted out of the hematite ore and then screened.

Iron powder is also very useful. In this era, it is impossible to have large-scale crushing machinery, so Wang Kang specially asked people to collect it.

After the inspection, Wang Kang gave a few more instructions and then returned to his house.

It was already dark when we got back. After dinner, Wang Kang wanted to go to bed early. He was really tired today.

There are many rooms in the county government office, and the one Wang Kang lives in is naturally the largest.

When he arrived at the room, Xiao Tao was making the bed for him. She was bent over there, and Wang Kang's eyes suddenly widened when she saw her.

To be honest, ever since I came to Xinfeng County, I have been dealing with endless tasks every day. First, I was clearing out bandits, and then designing and building roads.

Even the contact between Lin Yuyan and Li Qingman was on official business. Wang Kang felt that he was the most miserable young rich man.

Seeing Xiao Tao like this, I was immediately stunned. This posture is the most arousing to a man's feelings.

Hearing the movement behind her, Xiao Tao turned around and said hurriedly: "The young master is back."

It would be nice to climb a little longer, Wang Kang sighed.

"Young Master has had a hard day. Let's soak in hot water to relieve fatigue. I'm ready." Xiao Tao said, with a hint of blush on her face.

Wang Kang didn't pay attention. He really wanted to take a hot bath, so he entered the back room. There was a large wooden barrel on the ground, and the hot steam was curling up in the barrel...

After taking off his clothes, Wang Kang jumped directly in. The slightly high-temperature hot water filled the air and soaked his body, as if the fatigue of the day was relieved instantly...

"call!"

Wang Kang breathed a sigh of relief. This is the most comfortable thing, but it seems that there is still something missing...

"Xiao Tao, come in and give the young master a squeeze on his shoulders."

At this moment, Wang Kang really missed the time when Xiaotao waited on him to take a bath in the Earl's Mansion, which he had never done in Xinfeng County.

"Xiao Tao," Wang Kang called again.

"Here you go, Master." Xiao Tao's voice was a little low, and Wang Kang didn't pay attention. He was sitting with his back to the door.

"Come on, squeeze it for me." Wang Kang said.

At this moment, a gentle hand pinched his shoulder and squeezed gently.

"Well, not bad, the force is just right." Wang Kang closed his eyes and felt that he touched the fabric on Xiao Tao's wrist.

"Xiao Tao, why are you still wearing long sleeves? It's too conservative." Wang Kang said and turned around.

When he saw Xiao Tao, his eyes immediately straightened.

Xiao Tao was indeed wearing clothes at the moment, but they were not ordinary clothes, but the ones he had designed before... tights!

The material of the clothes is a special stretchable and tight fabric, and the color is a transparent light color...

this……

Wang Kang felt that his nose was about to bleed.

Xiao Tao's face was extremely red with embarrassment, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "Master, is this dress suitable?"

Is it suitable? It is simply perfect!

Wang Kang couldn't hold it anymore and directly pulled Xiao Tao over...

At this moment, outside the house, Lin Yuyan and Li Qingman were listening closely. When they heard the movement inside, their pretty faces were flushed.

"Rogue," Lin Yuyan said softly.

"This was your suggestion, now you're a gangster," Li Qingman said with a smile.

"You also said," Lin Yuyan rolled her eyes, and then sighed, "He is too tired during this period, so let him relax!"

"In his words, it means feeding your mouth first." Li Qingman agreed.
