"Hehe, isn't there a shortage of people here! Besides, in our Daming, you can live more comfortably than Chahar, and the lower officials are thinking about them! Baba knew that Liu Hongjian did not mean to blame, and said arrogantly.

"Then you are a little more obscure, you have been sued to this king, and you will be punished for drinking!" Liu Hong gradually put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the wine jar and poured a large bowl for Babala.

"Who told me about it, so that I knew, and I had to break his mouth!" Babala's face immediately changed when he heard someone accusing him, but when he saw Liu Hong's face gradually unhappy, he immediately deflated.

"Hehe, my lord, I know it's wrong, I'll drink this wine." After speaking, Baba La picked up the big bowl and poured it into his stomach.

"Okay, okay, I'm kidding you." Liu Hongjian didn't expect Baba to be so sincere, and he was speechless for a while.

At this time, the Han people had generally mastered the technology of distilling liquor, and the degree of liquor was not low, and the large bowl of the sea was less than 500 milliliters, and they didn't even eat rice.

Bang - Babara drank it all and put the bowl back on the table.

"My lord let me drink...... I'll drink it, burp - I'll admit it if I'm dead. Baba rolled up her sleeves and wiped her drunken beard.

"You muddy ball, who fights for Lao Tzu after drinking to death, sit down!" Liu Hong gradually realized that this man was telling the truth, and he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

"Hey...... Hiccup—" Baba blushed like a monkey's butt and couldn't stop hiccups.

"Although Menggu Province is vast and sparsely populated, it is just a pasture and does not need so many people, why did you come up with such a decision?" Lu Haibo on the side couldn't help but interject.

"Lu Shen will not know something, he is still ...... It's barely enough, and it's not a few months before that...... We have opened a large silver mine in Guhata Mountain, which requires a large number of people such as caretakers and miners.

In addition to the two sent by the imperial court...... The two officials supervised, and they didn't care about the rest, and the hundred ...... in the customs If the people refuse to move, what can I do? The wine was a little up, and Baba shook her head and said bluntly.

"Silver Mine!" Lu Haibo's eyes widened.

He couldn't help but be shocked, Liu Hong gradually informed Chongzhen of the location of the silver mine and did not tell anyone else, and the silver mine was the top priority for the imperial court, and it was impossible to publicize it widely.

"Well, it's big...... The big silver mine is bigger than the one in Yunnan. Baba felt a little lightheaded, and she couldn't hold it anymore.

At this time, there was no machinery, mining and transporting ore all relied on manpower, and a large mine had tens of thousands of craftsmen, guards, miners, smelters, and smelters.

"Good boy! God treats us well, ZTE is hopeful! Lu Haibo said excitedly.

"Eat it, you idiot! Who said that pulling people must run over there and shout?

Find a few herdsmen from good families, move their pastures to the edge of Chahar's pastures, and let them show off, do you understand? It's pretending! Liu Hong gradually said angrily.

Let the poor herdsmen of Chahar really see how comfortable they are living in our Daming, and they are not stupid where to herd sheep or not, can they still have a good life?

This is just one of them, there is no clear border line in these years, and there is no satellite monitoring, it is not too easy to gather people, Liu Hong can name a few casually.

And Baba used the most idiotic means to blatantly pull people, what is the difference between this and pimping, it really makes him speechless!

But before he finished speaking, he heard Duang's baba still lying on the table.

……

On the second day, Liu Honggradually promised all the officers and men of the expeditionary force that the reward for this expedition would be 100 taels of silver per person, and that they should be promoted to their own generals and reported to them.

When he returned to the capital, he would fulfill his promises one by one, and then ordered more than 10,000 Allied troops to return eastward to the northeastern province.

He himself took off his armor and changed into a python suit, and followed Baba to the silver mines of Hadashan.

Located in the upper reaches of the Luer River, the Hada Mountains are not very tall and because they are located in the northern grasslands, there is not much vegetation in the mountains.

After nearly two months of hard work, the Hattashan silver mine has now begun to achieve output.

"Lao Ba, how are these mites doing? Are you still honest? Liu Honggradually stood on a high slope and looked down and said to Baba.

Rows of bald men in tattered shirts pushed carts full of ore out of the mountains, and soldiers led them to the smelting workshop below.

If you look closely, you will find that these bald men have a big slave character tattooed on their foreheads.

"Honest, but honest, let's tell them to go east, they will never dare to go west." Baba said without a word.

The dishonest person was killed by Governor Feng's allies, and although he didn't have any wages, he didn't miss the food of this group of people, and he was a guilty person, what do you want?

The whole Hada Mountain is full of soldiers, and less than five miles from here, there are 10,000 of his garrisons, and they can't turn the sky.

"My lord, there's nothing to see in this mining, I'll take you to the smelting workshop below, where you can turn this stone into white silver." Naturally, Babala didn't know how to smelt, but he felt that it was amazing to change from stone to silver that could be bought and bought.

In order to rush the work, most of the houses, including the courtyard walls, were made of cement masonry.

The workshop was guarded by a thousand soldiers, and there were more than 30 craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, which shows how much the imperial court attached importance to this silver mine.

"Lord Yin, Lord Gao, come and see the prince." As soon as he entered the workshop, Babala said to the two old men who were standing by the blast furnace to investigate.

There were people coming and going in the workshop, there were ore carriers, coke transporters, and scouts of the blast furnace, and the two old men who were shouted by Baba heard the words and trotted towards Liu Hong.

"Yin Jingsheng in the lower official household department, and Wang Pan, a member of the Ministry of Works, visited the prince!" Walking up to Liu Hongji's side, the two saluted.

These two people are both Beijing officials, so they naturally know Liu Hongji, although they are surprised why Liu Hongjian is here, but they still dare not slack off.

Thanks to the blessing of the king of Anguo County, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty have increased their salaries significantly, but the civil officials have been suppressed for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will feel a little complicated when they see Liu Hongjian himself.

"Two adults, please get up, how much silver can this workshop produce in a day now?" Liu Hong gradually asked with a weak hand.

"Back to the prince, there are currently more than 21,000 miners in the Hadashan silver mine, which can produce 11,000 stones of silver ore per day, and if all these ores are refined, they can become more than 3,000 taels of silver." Wang Pan, a member of the Ministry of Labor, reported truthfully.

"It's just that now that the workshop has just been built, the blast furnace is not enough, and there is a lack of manpower, and the ore is piled up outside, and at present, 2,000 taels of silver can be smelted every day." Tobe Langzhong also said.

"Why? What is the two thousand taels of silver enough to pay the salaries of these craftsmen and workers? ”
