At the primary mining farm in Tieshan and Xia Village, the number of miners increased to more than 50 people, mined iron ore and transported thousands of kilograms of iron ore to Xia Village.

Zhang Hua appointed one mining supervisor, one deputy supervisor and one accountant to maintain the daily operation of the junior mining farm.

Zhang Hua did not station troops in primary mining sites, mainly because of insufficient troops.

The miners in the junior mining farm were trained by Zhang Hua to become village tycoons through the township camp. If they really want to fight for life and death, they are equivalent to first-class soldiers and village tycoons.

"The village needs more and more iron ore, and the village may have to send additional personnel in the near future. We can't make any mistakes."

The mine supervisor inspected the mine and sent two miners to protect Xu Xiake, and continued to explore the mineral resources in the northern mountainous areas.

Xu Xiake has discovered a fourth-level copper ore and a sixth-level iron ore, and its contribution is extremely large.

Xu Xiake was leaning on a wooden cane to explore minerals and draw a topographic map.

"There are footprints and it's quite dense. Is there a village in the deep mountains?"

Xu Xiake found dense footprints in the northern forests, and was suspected to be refugees who were wandering in the forests.

Xu Xiake led two miners to investigate the direction of his footprints.

Among the mountains, a simple village appeared in front of Xu Xiake. There were several village men wearing colorful clothes and tied their hair at the entrance of the village.

"Sir, this should be a village built by refugees who are wandering in the mountains. Do we want to visit?"

"Don't disturb them. Can't you see that? This refugee is not our Han people."

Xu Xiake traveled all over the world in the Ming Dynasty, and was knowledgeable and recognized that he was a mountain barbarian.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, Chu was regarded as the Southern Barbarians. Even in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the minorities in the deep mountains and forests in the south were still collectively called the Southern Barbarians and Shanyue. Until the Song Dynasty, in order to win over the leaders of various races, the court began to reward them with official positions, and later became chieftains of all sizes."

Xu Xiake is not only familiar with geography, but also knows the customs and customs.

The two miners cast admiration eyes. In ancient times, Xu Xiake, a literati who could read and had all night long history and geography, had exceeded 99.9% of ordinary people.

"Remember the location of the mountain barbarians. Before distinguishing whether they are enemies or friends, there is no need to disturb them. Some mountain barbarians are quite irritable and may not be willing to entertain us."

Xu Xiake knew that some mountain barbarians were not easy to provoke, so he did not show up on his own initiative, but marked the specific location of the mountain barbarian tribe and left.

Xu Xiake returned to Xia Village and reported this matter to Zhang Hua.

"There are mountain barbarians in the northern mountains? What kind of barbarians do you determine are?"

Zhang Hua attaches great importance to this matter.

Some barbarians are very fierce, such as Meng Huo's Southern Barbarian soldiers, who were reorganized by Zhuge Liang into the famous Wudang Flying Army.

There are many types of barbarians, such as the Southern Barbarians, Shanyue, Western Qiang, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Turkic, and Jurchens.

Xu Xiake analyzed: "From the bottom of the story, it should be the Jingzhou man."

"Jingzhou Man?"

Zhang Hua immediately thought of the barbarian general Shamoke who served Liu Bei.

Shamoke was the leader of the barbarian tribe in Wuling County. At the invitation of Liu Bei, he participated in the Battle of Yiling and was defeated and died.

"Yes, Jingzhou Man is not only active in the Three Kingdoms. During the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, the government repeatedly suppressed the Jingzhou Man. Later, Jingzhou Man was either sinicized or moved south."

Xu Xiake can be called a geographic historian. After his analysis, Zhang Hua knew it.

The mountain barbarians that appear in the mountains in the north of Xia Village may be the Jingzhou barbarians from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The biggest possibility is the most active period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which came from the Jingzhou Man.

The Five Barbarians invaded China was a period of the most intense ethnic integration, and objectively led to a large number of people in the Central Plains migrating south, accelerating the development of areas southwards, and clashing with the Jingzhou barbarians in the deep mountains and forests for land.

The result is of course that Jingzhou Man lost to Han culture, and most of them became Chinese and it was difficult to distinguish them.

"Send someone to negotiate with him to see if they are willing to surrender to us."

For the Jingzhou mantra, Zhang Hua regarded it as an important source of troops.

The people of Jingzhou were fierce. In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei encouraged the Wuling Man Shamoke to join the Shu army and deal with the Eastern Wu.

If we can use the combat power of Jingzhou Man, we will be more confident in dealing with Tiefutu.

Zhang Hua appointed a small official from the village to negotiate with the mountain barbarians.

This little official was trembling and walking on thin ice. Who knows if the barbarians in the mountains are cannibals?

However, the village chief appointed a candidate, and this unlucky little official could only take the risk to visit the village of the mountain barbarians.

"Public Terminal, do you think Jingzhou Man will surrender?"

Zhang Hua mentioned this to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong stretched out a finger.

“Is it only 10% chance?”

"No, I know nothing about Jingzhou Man and can't do anything."

Chen Gong sighed, he was not an omniscient genius, otherwise Lu Bu would not have been defeated by Cao Cao.

Chen Gong’s talent is to list all possibilities and choose the option with the highest success rate.

The option with the highest success rate may not necessarily happen.

Moreover, various factors are changing, and the success rate of each option is also changing.

Chen Gong's view is to first test the attitude of the mountain barbarians, and then counterattack them accordingly.

"Miss Li is asking for a meeting outside the door."

"Take her in."

"yes."

Soon, Li Wenxin, chief physician of Xiacun, came in, holding a roll of drawings in his hand, and presented them to Zhang Hua: "The little woman came here and for some reason, she got a drawing. After thinking about it, she should hand it over to the adults."

Zhang Hua took the architectural drawings and looked carefully. It turned out that they were clinic drawings, not general drawings, but special architectural drawings.

【Name】: Dongbitang

【Level】: Level 5 Special Building

[Article]: The hall name founded by Li Shizhen after returning from the Imperial Hospital in the 37th year of Jiajing of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty. "Dongbi" is the name of Li Shizhen.

【Function】: Improve the efficiency of processing Chinese herbal medicines and improve the cure rate of patients.

Just like special buildings such as Zhaozhou Bridge and Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Dongbi Hall is also a unique building, and the hall name founded by Li Shizhen himself.

As a descendant of Li Shizhen, Li Wenxin's initial prop was the architectural drawings of Dongbitang after traveling through time.

"Now our village's resources are not enough to build the Dongbi Hall. When we defeat the Jin people and occupy the river valley, I will build the Dongbi Hall again. You will continue the Li family's medical skills and become the master of this Dongbi Hall."

Li Wenxin took the initiative to hand over the construction drawings of the family clinic. Zhang Hua reported to him and decided that after the construction of the Dongbi Hall, Li Wenxin would be in charge of the Dongbi Hall.

Li Wenxin was once again flattered and said gratefully: "The little woman will do her best to cure the disease and save the patient."

Zhang Hua sighed in his heart.

Studying medicine cannot save people in troubled times.

Especially in this chaotic world where human lives are like grass, white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the speed of death is faster than saving people.
