Craftsmen have already begun to build blast furnaces and workshops near the parish. The hundreds of craftsmen brought to recruit a group of workers and apprentices as if they were treasured, and many of them were caught directly.

Hao Fenglou understood that there are no rules to be said in such places. The truth is the big fist, and the Zhihuzhe is not suitable for Lang Son.

Craftsmen do not need to worry about the raw materials yet, because there are many iron ingots here, and after re-tempering, they can make good steel. As for the steel refined, it is mainly used to make agricultural tools. Whether it is Annan or the mountain people on the mountain, there is a huge demand for agricultural tools. In addition, the people here have poor iron making skills, so many agricultural tools are not durable and expensive. Since this is the case, the monopoly agricultural tools give Lang Son the opportunity to perform their skills.

The carpenters were also very excited because they found that the extremely expensive mahogany in the Ming Dynasty was worthless here, and it was everywhere in the mountains. In addition, many not-to-daily woods were worthless here.

Needless to say, the characteristics of mahogany are hard, have high strength, wear resistance and good durability. They are an excellent material for making furniture. At this time, this kind of mahogany furniture has become popular in the Ming Dynasty and has a huge demand. It can be said that it is rushing to it. As long as you can make good furniture and the standards are recognized, even if the price is high, you will not have to worry about sales.

Therefore, Hao Fenglou ordered people to go out and asked someone to buy mahogany on a large scale.

Although mahogany grows on the mountain, it requires people to cut down after all. Hao Fenglou is naturally not enough. But it doesn’t matter. There are mountain people everywhere on the mountain. These people have nothing to do except hunting and farming. They are all so poor that they are jingling. As long as they are willing to give some money, it won’t take long. These mountain people will become a vast army of logging, enough to meet the needs of carpenters.

Apart from building some blast furnaces and restoring some buildings, the stonemasons seemed to be idle. In fact, there were also things to do. They just found a lot of stones to study, and various kinds of stones were piled up near their residences. Each stone recorded its appearance and texture, and then tried every means to study its characteristics.

The hundreds of workers recruited were almost ordered to be escorted. However, when the number of workers who were announced to be paid 500 cents a month and paid for food, these people would be at peace without supervision or fear of their escape.

This is a bitter and cold place. It is amazing to have a full meal in a bitter and cold place. Soon, they adapted and asked the craftsmen to choose their own choices, each of whom chose a few apprentices, and they were responsible for some chores.

As for Wu Xiong, he took dozens of people to start his journey with a batch of salt. Hao Fenglou weighed the pros and cons, and decided to give this guy a chance to atone for his sins. He was still content and obediently brought people and goods to start negotiating with the terrifying mountain villagers. Such people are best at dancing and come down and conveying news everywhere.

This news is nothing more than what Liu Jian has provided in the past, and today Mr. Hao still provides it. Not only that, but also gives some favors.

Lord Hao is a prominent family in Jinling, the adopted son of the Emperor Ming Dynasty. There are countless tigers and wolves under his command, such as guardians and soldiers, and the strong men recruited by Liu Jian, who are not worth mentioning in front of Lord Hao. They can be pushed to the ground in a blink of an eye, and they can die without a place to bury them in a minute.

Lord Hao has no intention of dealing with everyone. Lord Hao also knows that you have been deceived and deceived, so you can be forgiven for everything in the past. From now on, this mountain will still belong to you. As long as you listen to Lord Hao obediently, everyone can still live a good life.

But if anyone dares to be disobedient, the soldiers will be in a hurry and they will kill a piece of armor. Whoever dares to cause trouble at the foot of the mountain will break the law. If one person breaks the law, the whole clan will be held in a row. Not to mention hiding in the mountains, even if he goes to heaven and earth, he will be severely punished.

The mountain people already knew about the horror of Lord Hao. The news here has always been spread very quickly. The fact that Hao Fenglou led hundreds of divine weapons to defeat thousands of guards after many artistic processing and exaggeration of his beliefs was enough to shock the mountain people.

As for the past, the mountain people calmed down. Who to trade with in the future is not a transaction. Anyway, Wu Xiong was still the one who brought the salt. He even brought some iron samples. These samples were all farm tools and some hunting equipment. The mountain people were not stupid. They knew that the texture was much better than the iron tools in the past. The same hoe was not useful in the past. If you hoe a few times, you would inevitably have to roll the blade. A very good weapon. In fact, most of the time, everyone will use it as a blunt weapon. After all, this kind of thing is irreplaceable.

But now, if a mountaineer tried this hoe, he felt like he had a treasure. It was also a farm tool. The difference was too big, so many people naturally begged for supply. Wu Xiong knew the truth that he could not just accommodate the mountain people or bet on the verge of being tough. He smiled and said, "For such farm tools, Lord Hao, Lord Hao, is a god of heaven, and brings many gods from heaven, to benefit one's place." This kind of bullshit is to deceive ignorant women and children in the mainland. Anyone with some knowledge has long been slaughtered, the god of heaven, your mother.

However, here, people believed in this situation. The mountain people not only did not doubt it, but instead took it for granted, so they all showed a solemn look.

Wu Xiong said again: "But it's okay if you want to change the farm tools. Lord Hao is kind-hearted and knows your hard work on the mountain. In the future, you can exchange fur goods as usual. In addition, do you see this wood?" Wu Xiong took out a small piece of processed wood chips and said: "It's okay to exchange it with this wood. At that time, I will naturally order people to collect it. It's okay to pull the black ditch yourself. As for how to change it, we will discuss it later."

When the natives and mountain people heard this, they were immediately excited.

Wood can also be exchanged for things. In this endless mountain, there are actually not many prey. After all, there are more and more villages and more people in the mountains. The animals can't stand the hunting every now and then, but the wood is everywhere.

After negotiations, Wu Xiong went down the mountain with satisfaction. In fact, following Hao Fenglou was more confident than following Liu Jian. After all, Hao Fenglou was an official, and Liu Jian was a thief after all. Moreover, Wu Xiong had gradually discovered that the resources that Lord Hao could mobilize was something that Liu Jian could never compare with. Following this person, he was much stronger than Liu Jian.

He is now in a state of guilt, so he is cautious in his work, afraid of making mistakes, and after he is busy with the matter, he hurried to meet Hao Fenglou.

"Sir, the matter has been settled. Now the mountains have gradually settled down. In fact, as long as the mountain people have something to do, you will whip them with a whip, and they will not dare to cause trouble. Now many mountain people are sharpening their knives and gathering young and strong to log wood."

Hao Fenglou was watching the Spring and Autumn Period at this time. Seeing the Spring and Autumn Period not only cultivates sentiment, but also a rare way for ancient people to show off. Hao Fenglou gradually understood the rules. Whether in front of Zhu Zhiling or Princess Zhao, as long as he took a scroll of Spring and Autumn, he could see Zhu Zhiling's eyes softened suddenly, with gentle and respectful eyes. As for Princess Zhao, he was more intense, twisting Zhu Gaosui's ears directly, and he could not curse a few words. Look at your idle look, a prince, squatting over there every day to watch the musket team practice, what is the future for you?

Zhu Gaosui was very tragic. He saw who was provoking to the firearms team, and should he live this life?

Hao Fenglou then took out the Spring and Autumn Period to read every now and then, although he had only a few understandings of the contents in it.

After hearing Wu Xiong's reply, Hao Fenglou put down the book, looked at Wu Xiong, and said, "Very good, how many of those mountain people are there?"

Zhu Gaosui said: "I'm afraid it's not less than 100,000. In fact, there are no specific numbers of villains. I only know that there were not many in the past. But later, there were frequent wars in Annan, and more and more. In fact, so many people were on the mountain, and everyone worked hard. When there were fewer people in the past, everyone could still have a full meal. Now there are more and more people, and it is difficult to even have a full meal. The villages and tribes can fight to death for a wild boar, and even kill a few young and strong people. Some can fight each other in order to fight for a mountain spring."

Hao Fenglou nodded and said, "So you have to find something for them. Logging is just the beginning. There will definitely be other things in the future. You do well and do well, and you will find a job for you in the future."

Wu Xiong was excited, being an official? He felt like he was dreaming and thought it was impossible, but he also felt that what Mr. Hao said was true, because Wu Xiong saw that even the Langsan County Magistrate was in good manner in front of Lord Hao, and he looked like he was so arrogant that he wanted to put it on and kiss his toes. In fact, he could not imagine how old the official in Hao Fenglou was, but Wu Xiong just felt that Mr. Hao should not be the one who promised casually.

Wu Xiong hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the villain will fight for Lord Hao even if he is desperate..."

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Try your best? Do I need you to work hard? Let me tell you the truth. If I let you say one word, I don't know how many people are willing to work hard for me. If you want to work hard, it's not your turn. You can do it so hard, so don't give me this."

This sentence is true. As long as Hao Fenglou makes a statement in Nanjing City, countless ministers and scholars will fight with Hao Fenglou. As for how many people are willing to fight for Hao Fenglou, Hao Fenglou doesn't know. However, he knows that more people who work hard for him must be more people who work hard for him than those who are willing to fight for him, otherwise he will not come to such a place to avoid the limelight. But in this remote mountainous area, it doesn't matter if anyone sees it through.
