For Qiao Shou, all he cares about is whether he can successfully produce the first furnace of molten iron and the quality of the first pot of the furnace, but for another Taiping Army official here, the work here is simply ******** to him, this person is the former county lieutenant of Feng County, Lu Feng, a seventh-level peak martial arts master.

After Lu Feng entered Feng County in the Taiping Army, he went straight to the Liu family through several exchanges with Mrs. Liu, but under the Liu family, this latecomer did not get the reuse he imagined, the Liu family has its own set of long-used team, the family has a deep heritage, and it also represents a large number of talents, of course, it also means a radish and a pit, a halfway defector, in a short period of time, how can it enter its core circle?

In Liu's family, Lu Feng has become a brick, where he needs to move, of course, but everything that needs him to go is not a lot of oil and water, let alone an easy job, it is often some thankless work, which makes him complain, but he can't do it with all his heart, looking forward to one day being valued by the current head of the family Liu Xingwen, so that his life will embark on a new stage.

Liu Xingwen was ordered to form the Shayang County City Guard, Lu Feng once had high hopes, after all, he had been a county lieutenant, led soldiers, and fought in battles. Although the City Guard Army is not the current field army of the Taiping Army series, it is responsible for the internal security of the entire Shayang County, and in Lu Feng's view, if everything goes well with the Taiping Army, this City Guard Army will inevitably enter the ranks of the field army with the expansion of the Taiping Army, so as to realize its dream.

But it was destined to be another dream that disappointed him immensely. Liu Xingwen formed the city guards, the main body was the private soldiers of the five major families, and one by one the orders were issued, but he still did not get the position he expected, and Liu Xingwen seemed to have forgotten him.

In the midst of loss and indignation, someone extended a helping hand to him, and it was no one else who reached out to him, it was his old partner in Feng County, and now Ge Qingsheng, who is now the city lord of Taiping City.

Lu Feng left Shayang County, left the Wutong branch he once thought, accepted an appointment from the Taiping Army, and went to the depths of this mountain to serve as the place named Taiping Iron Mine by Qin Feng, and served as the captain of the mine guard.

The name is not good, and his subordinates are only in their early 1,000s, but the target of the current management is more than 20,000 prisoners of war.

These prisoners of war are not ordinary prisoners of war, but young and energetic guys of more than 20,000 years. These guys are not good, obedient, cowardly, and well-known, they have all been screened out, and those who come here are basically not easy to manage.

The number of prisoners of war was twenty times the number of his soldiers, and more importantly, none of his men were valiant veterans, in his eyes, these soldiers were not even as good as the county soldiers he had commanded before, they were all peasants who had just been recruited and had not long laid down their hoes.

With such a group of rookies, suppressing so many captives is indeed a huge challenge for Lu Feng.

But as Ge Qingsheng said, if there is no challenge, how can you show your ability, and if there is no difficulty, how can you show the joy of your success?

In this world, nothing can be easily succeeded, and if you want to get it, you must first give.

With the mentality of swearing to the death, Lu Feng came to Taiping Iron Mine. If he succeeds, it will be his brilliant beginning.

More than 20,000 captives were divided into four different mining areas, the largest central mining area gathered more than 10,000 prisoners, and Lu Feng also set up his management yamen in the central mining area, and here, he only left more than 100 soldiers to assist him in management.

In the past half a year, he has aged a lot, but what makes him proud is that at least until now, everything in Taiping Iron Mine is too peaceful. He used all the means he could to maintain the safety of the Taiping Iron Mine.

Today, Li Feng, the supreme leader of the Taiping Army, will come to inspect the Taiping Iron Mine, which is the best moment for Lu Feng to show his ability. He will not let go of this opportunity again, for him, when the Taiping Army entered Fengxian, he had already lost a chance because of his short-sightedness, look at Ge Qingsheng, who has now become one of the core members of the Taiping Army, and controls the Taiping Army's lair alone.

His ability is not worse than Ge Qingsheng, and what is worse may only be opportunities.

After receiving the news that General Li Feng, the leader of the Taiping Army, had personally arrived here, Lu Feng had no normal rest for several days, walking day and night in the four major mining areas, checking all the security measures over and over again, and during this period, there must be no mistakes.

A little mistake at this time will be magnified countless times, ruining the achievements he has worked hard in the past few months.

What made him happy was that on the first day of Li Feng's arrival, Dazhu appeared in the mining area with a thousand personal guard battalions, and the top brass of the Taiping Army naturally understood that there was a huge danger in the Taiping Iron Mine, and their leader must not have a problem.

Seeing a suit of armor and a majestic pillar, Lu Feng was so envious that he almost vomited blood, when he was already a county lieutenant, the one in front of him was still a refugee with nothing. But now, looking at others, they have left themselves far behind. If you can stay by the side of the Supreme Leader, you are destined to have an extremely bright future.

On the largest blast furnace, a big red flower has long been hung, and on the opposite side of it, a viewing platform has been set up, and Lu Feng, who is in charge of the Taiping Iron Mine, and Lu Feng, who is in charge of security, are waiting here early, ready to meet the inspection from the top of the Taiping Army.

The Taiping Iron Mine is located deep in the mountains, the terrain is steep, and this ironworks is built in the canyon, only a single road leads to the outside of the mountain, at the entrance, a high wall was built, when the city gate was closed, this iron factory was completely isolated from the world.

A sentry on the city wall turned around and waved his arm inside, calling loudly, skillful hands and Lu Feng were in good spirits, and strode towards the city gate, the boss had already come.

The two of them stood at the gate of the city, and in the distance there were already flags flying, and the way was opened by a group of boy soldiers on horses, the oldest of whom was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and their childish faces were full of pride. And after them, it was Qin Feng (Li Feng), the boss of the Taiping Army, and behind him, Shayang County Shou Quan Yun, Liu Xingwen, the commander of the city guards, Ge Qingsheng, the lord of Taiping City, and of course, the heads of other families in Shayang County, it can be said that the high-level of the Taiping Army almost poured out.

Qin Feng looked at the several blast furnaces standing tall in the canyon, his eyes were particularly bright, at this time, steel has always been a strategic material, a scarce material, like Western Qin, such a strong army of the border army, because of the lack of domestic steel production, they are not to mention decent armor, some of them can not even match weapons, and they may really have the favor of God, they can actually find such a large iron mine deep in the mountains, when Wang Yueyao sent someone to report the news to him, When the quarrymen discovered the place, he was in ecstasy. After the most experienced master in Liu's Iron Works confirmed the amount and quality of the mineral deposits here, Qin Feng was about to go crazy with joy, the discovery of this iron ore would mean that he would remove a prison that could most restrict him in his future development.

Liu Xingwen's heart is also very complicated. The Liu family has controlled the steel trade in Shayang County for so many years, and they have not found that there is such a large amount of sky-high wealth within their control, or this can really only be regarded as providence. Now the ownership of this iron mine belongs to the Taiping army, not the Liu family, which makes him a little disappointed. However, the Taiping Army had no technical reserves, so they could only rely on Liu's technology, and 10% of the technology was shared, which finally gave Liu some comfort.

With the official start of the Taiping Iron Mine, the small mines of the Liu family were officially closed, but the income of the Taiping Iron Mine was 10% more than that of the previous mines.

"I've seen the general!" Qiaoshou and Lu Feng strode forward and bowed to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng patted Qiaoshou's shoulder casually, this is an old brother, there is no need to say anything, he turned sideways slightly, looked at Lu Feng, nodded, and said, "Captain Lu, you have worked hard, you have lost a lot of weight in the past few months." ”

When Lu Feng went to work, Qin Feng met him once, and bluntly said the difficulties here, he gave Lu Feng the right to choose freely, for Lu Feng, Qin Feng didn't know much about it, because there was really no suitable candidate in his pocket, and Ge Qingsheng's strong recommendation also played a great role. But now it seems that the original choice was still good, Ge Qingsheng's recommendation was also very accurate, this former Fengxian county lieutenant only used more than 1,000 recruits, but he took on the heavy responsibility of managing tens of thousands of prisoners, so that everything here was peaceful, this credit was no worse than killing the enemy on the battlefield.

Hearing Qin Feng's faint words, Lu Feng's eyes were hot, and he almost fell into tears, in the months of serving the Liu family, he had been born many times, but he had never heard a word of praise.

"The general values it and entrusts him with a heavy task, and Lu Feng is naturally desperate to repay him." He said in a sonorous tone, the corner of his eyes swept over Liu Xingwen, and when he saw a trace of unnaturalness flashing on the other party's face, he couldn't help but feel a trace of happiness in his heart.

Walking up to the viewing platform, Qin Feng stood at the front, holding the railing tightly with both hands, still a little nervous in his heart, standing beside him skillfully, holding a small red flag in his hand, taking a deep breath, raising the red flag, and falling suddenly.

The sluice gate in front of the blast furnace opened, and the red molten iron flowed out along the notch, gradually filling the trench and injecting into the mold at the rear, and the heat rushed to the face, even on the viewing platform far away, you could still feel the heat wave, and the Grand Canyon resounded with deafening cheers.
