Chapter 652 Searching for Iron Ore
Chapter 652 Searching for Iron Ore
At that time, most of the people present were unbelievers.
But now seeing this scene, they felt that this was most likely what Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe did last night.
After all, apart from them, no one else had the strength to blow up the rocks on an entire mountain.
Although, they didn't know what method the other party used.
But as long as it can help them solve the problem, it is a good idea.
Just then, a commoner came back with a bowl of porridge, a bag of rice, and a large piece of meat.
When the people saw this, they came forward to ask.
"Old Li, where did you get this meat? Why is it so fresh?"
Everyone stared at the piece of meat with burning eyes and swallowed their saliva.
It had been a long time since they had eaten such fresh meat, let alone such a big piece. They would be lying if they said they weren't envious.
The man called Lao Li held up the meat in his hand as if to show off.
He smiled happily and said, "This meat was given by His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Queen."
"They went up the mountain last night and killed five wild boars. Every villager who goes to collect rice today will get five kilograms of wild boar meat. You should go as well."
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and quickly ran back home to get the dishes.
They felt from the bottom of their hearts that His Royal Highness the Night King and his wife were truly their lucky stars.
When they arrived, not only did the city lord who had been a scourge to them die, but they also solved their food problem.
Now, as long as the water channel on the mountain is opened, the dry fields below will be saved.
They only went up the mountain once and were able to kill so many wild boars, and the wild boar meat was generously shared among them. Isn't this a blessing?
Everyone rushed to the City Lord's Mansion with pots, pans, and utensils.
At that time, Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were distributing porridge in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
They simply built a shed, under which were three large steaming iron pots.
An Qi held a large iron spoon in his hand and was responsible for providing porridge to the people.
Ji Yuntang was standing aside, weighing rice for the people.
She put the rice into cloth bags and distributed it to the family members according to the number of people in the family.
Luo Junhe was distributing wild boar meat to the villagers.
He held a boning knife in his hand, and his knife skills were clean and quick. In just a few strokes, he shaved off all the meat from the wild boar.
The people lined up in front of the stall, waiting for Luo Junhe to give them some wild boar meat.
The three of them did their tasks in an orderly manner, which gave the people a deeper understanding of them.
The Night King and the Night Queen are extremely precious and usually only have others to serve them.
But now, they actually provided them with porridge and rice personally.
Look at the way the Night King handles wild boar meat. He doesn’t look like a rich kid who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
Such a Luo Junhe makes the people respect him even more.
After the porridge, rice and meat were distributed, Ji Yuntang found the head of the village in Liangzhoukou.
She said: "Last night, the princess and the prince went to your mountain. We found the shortest way down the mountain and blew up the rocks on the mountain with gunpowder."
"If the village chief has time, please help gather the villagers from Liangzhoukou and have them go to the mountain together to shovel away the broken rocks."
"In this way, we can bring water from the mountains down and directly irrigate your farmland, and your crops will be saved."
The village head had long thought that this must have been done by Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe, but he did not dare to ask.
Now that he heard the other party admit it himself, he would be lying if he said he was unhappy.
The head of the village said hurriedly: "We have time, of course we have time, Princess Ye, rest assured, leave this matter to us, and we guarantee that the ditch will be dug within one day."
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, village chief."
The head of the village smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's really hard for His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Princess. You have helped us so much, we don't know how to thank you."
Ji Yuntang said: "You are the people of Dongchen Country. Helping you is helping Dongchen Country. As long as the people can live and work in peace and prosperity, it is the best way to thank us."
The head of the village once again witnessed Ji Yuntang's demeanor and respected her even more.
He felt that the Night King and his wife were a perfect match. Both of them loved their people like their own children and did not have the airs of a superior at all.
If they became the emperor and empress, how prosperous would Dongchen Kingdom be?
How rich and loving will people’s lives be?
The village head was very efficient. After Ji Yuntang gave his instructions, he went to gather all the young and middle-aged men in Liangzhoukou together.
All men aged 14 and above and under 60 were arranged to go to the mountains to dig ditches.
The women served as logistics personnel, bringing them water and food.
In just one day, the entire ditch was basically dug out.
The moment the water flowed down from the mountain, tears of excitement welled up in the eyes of the people.
There is salvation, they are finally saved!
The water irrigated the fields, nourishing the long-dry land.
They rushed to the fields and began to work.
However, after Ji Yuntang finished all this, it was not over yet.
She thought that there was water for irrigating the fields, but the people's drinking water problem had not been solved.
There are too few wells in Liangzhoukou. If you want to fetch water, you have to go a long way and it will take a lot of time.
If every village had three wells, the time people spent fetching water would be greatly reduced.
Some elderly people with mobility problems no longer have to run far away early in the morning to fetch water for drinking.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang told the head of the village about this idea again.
The village head is now full of admiration for Ji Yuntang, and of course he agrees with her idea 100%.
Not to mention, this was for the benefit of the people in their village, so he had no reason to refuse.
Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe personally went to the surrounding villages and quickly determined the location for digging the well.
Under their supervision, the villagers soon began to work together to dig wells.
Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were not idle during this period.
She told Luo Junhe about her discovery of iron ore in the City Lord's Mansion.
He guessed: "Ahe, I suspect there is an iron ore mountain range at the entrance of Liangzhou. The reason why Jiang Wangbei is willing to stay here as the city lord is because he discovered this mountain range."
"If I'm not mistaken, he has already mined part of this mountain range, but it should not be completely mined. I want to go and look for it."
There is no doubt that if iron ore falls into private hands, the profit from selling it will be huge.
